If you aren’t enjoying … Continue reading Valentine’s Day Oneshot # 1: "Chou no Ito" ("The Butterfly’s Thread") by Hitsuji Harumi
This is one of the oneshot from Lala Fantasy, a special Fantasy themed Lala magazine. The frontis page of this oneshot struck me. It looks like one of those carved cameo. I also like the rosemary wreathe and the ornament in Rose’s hair. I really enjoyed Peonine and Jade’s translation of this oneshot. Great job ladies! Ahhh… and Ichi’s redraws… Hee! Anyhow, I’m a sucker for royal romance like this one. And now onto the release!Links to “Vered no Rosemary”: (PDF) (Zip) Next up will be our last release for one anniversary! Please look forward to it! Continue reading Lala Fantasy Oneshot: "Vered no Rosemary" by Hitsuji Harumi
It looks like yesterday’s oneshot threw everyone for a loop. I’ve got plenty more train wrecks stockpiled, so be prepared for a wily 2014. Today though, we’re back to traditional fantasy shoujo with a fairytale. It’s got a little spunk to it, but I promise this oneshot is full of what you expect. This oneshot is dedicated to Silver Lunar. She is the first person who joined Omari’s Sister way back many years ago. She loves birds, and this smart-ass bird prince seemed perfect for her. So thanks to Silver Lunar for years of dedication and for making sure that … Continue reading Valentine’s Day Oneshot #4: "Tobenai Washi Ouji" ("The Eagle Prince who Can’t Fly") by Shiori Koharu
Happy Valentine’s Day! Whether you have a Valentine or not, have a great day and treat yourself to something nice. Also remember, at the stroke of midnight, Godiva’s Valentine’s chocolates are deeply discounted. Hubby and I will be hitting the … Continue reading Valentine’s Day One-Shot #2: "Risou no Ouji no Tsukurikata" ("The Way to Make a Perfect Prince") by Yuni Yukimura
This is a oneshot we’ve been slowly completing for at least 2 years. It feels like the pilot for a longer series that never happened. Not sure how that would work, seeing as how one of the suitors in the love triangle is a Catholic Priest. But… it’s not like Catholicism is understood in Japan. Anyhow… what happened to the cats is kinda disturbing, and beyond that, this oneshot is honestly kinda mediocre. I think a clearer distinction should have be drawn between the priest and the demon. I think the oneshot’s shortcomings are probably due to a cultural mismatch … Continue reading Oneshot: "Junketsu Diablos" ("Pure Dialblos") by Chie Shimada
