Poor, poor Nagi…is it real or a spell?  Chapter 7 is short, but it’s a real treat for Nagi x Ayato fans.  Personally, I just like Nagi.   This is my favorite cover image so far.  Ayato looks like he/she is being nuzzled by her big brother, but big brother is looking quite possessive and un-big brother-like.  Try getting through that Yugo!

It’s another cruel chapter of “Magnolia”…this one is only 28 pages and as one of my proofreaders pointed out, the second page is a repeat. Boo! But it’s a really good chapter and sets up for what I hope to be a thrilling volume 2. Links to Magnolia Chapter 6:  (Zip)(PDF) Spoilers Ahead — My thoughts on the chapter:Poor, poor, Nagi.  Nothing good can come of this for him.  Ayato is nutz, Yugo is relentless, and poor Nagi has his own heart to worry about.  But I think that’s what makes this situation delicious.  What is poor Nagi going to … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 6

One agonizing wait is over only to begin another.  The mental well being of a Magnolia fan is never good.  Hahaha!  We finally get the answer to how Ayato’s Dad reacts to Ayato dressed as a woman.  The reaction, in general, is as I expected, but I didn’t anticipate the extent of the reaction.  Needless to say, I was quite pleased by the whole scene.  Thank you Naked Ape for exceeding my expectations! Links to Magnolia Chp 5:  (Zip) (PDF) I made a small update to “Magnolia” chapter 2 that has some impact to the story.  I think there was … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 5

I weep no more for the ending of “Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen” because another has come to walk in Johanne’s shoes.  Bless you Naked Ape for giving us Yugo! Links to “Magnolia Chapter 4”  (Zip) (PDF) Note:  A slight change to the translation was made to a flash back to chapter 2.  Chapter 2 has been updated accordingly. Chapter 5 can’t come soon enough!  AUGH!!!  I’m suffering!!!!  I hope we find out who Lily’s guy is soon.  Is he royalty, military, a gigolo or some random party crasher? Next up is a double release of “Orange Chocolate” because chapter 18 and … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 4

And here is Magnolia chapter 3!  What is to become of our poor “prince!”  What’s up with that Vincent creep!?  Dude! You look like Paris Hilton! And why does Lover-Boy insist upon kissing Ayato!?
