Finally, we get a chapter that takes us back to the Ouran we all know and love!  I have great expectations for fun and humor in chapter 80 :).  As for whether chapter 81 is the last chapter, I don’t know and I really don’t understand how the rumor got started.  So far, I have not seen anything in the magazines to indicate that Ouran is ending soon.  My best guess is that the Suou-family-strife story arc will conclude in chapter 81.  Either way, we’ll just have to wait and see.  Moving on, here’s the link.

The website is still under construction, but check out what … Continue reading Fun Website to Learn some Common Phrases in Anime and Manga

As some of you may have noticed, I’m experimenting with Amazon.  In addition to selling my used manga, I have opened an “Associates” store to make it easy for you to purchase some of the manga series I translate, review, and recommend.  The idea here is to create a “win-win-win” situation in which you all, if you can, support the artists and publisher by purchasing the manga when it becomes available, I can get a little money from referring the sale to Amazon, and you all can have easier access to purchase the manga.  Yeah, yeah, yeah … I can’t … Continue reading Amazon Experiment
