This is Mimi Akio’s debut work, and honestly I’m impressed. It seems that Akio-sensei is very much into music and her love comes through in her works. This oneshot has an opera motif, and the way it’s used is very … Continue reading Oneshot: "Shinigami no Aria" ("The Death God’s Aria") by Mimi Akio
This one’s riding on the border of Omari’s Sister and Bakeneko’s Lair. I decided to release it here because in the end it’s a really sweet story and at it’s heart the perfect story for Omar’s Sister. I really like … Continue reading One Shot: "God Virgin" by Yuuki Miku
First a plug! Purely fanservice oneshot “Neko Hiroimashita” (“I Picked up a Cat”) is out on Bakeneko’s Lair. It’s safe for tweens and up, but just not appropriate for Omari’s Sister. Anyhow… bishies with cat ears in loin clothes doing cute stuff and absolutely no story… have at it! (LINK) Hooray! Something new, albeit very short, from Hisaya Nakajo. Her series “Hana Kimi” was the first manga series I ever purchased. This very short oneshot was a real pain in the behind. Some of the run-on sentence kept making us trip all over keyboards. Haha! Hopefully we’ve wrestling this spunky … Continue reading Short Oneshot: "Because I’ve Always Been Watching" by Hisaya Nakajo
I had hoped to release a different oneshot tonight, but it simply wasn’t ready. Haha! Hopefully, we wrung all the errors out of this short oneshot ^^;;. Ugh… Anyhow, I guess you can still call it spring since the solstice isn’t until the 21st. In that case, this is an appropriate oneshot for the season, especially since many of you are graduating in some form or another. Happy Spring! And congratulations graduates! And now onto the release!Links to “Haru no Ame”: (Zip) (PDF) Next up will hopefully be the short oneshot I wanted to release tonight. Continue reading Short Oneshot: "Haru no Ame" ("Spring Rain") by Maki Minami
Updated (6/8/2013): Put in missing narration on page 4 and fixed a minor typo. The changes have no impact on the story, but if you archiving, you may want to re-download the file. ——————————- I’ve gotten totally distracted by Akane … Continue reading Oneshot: "Netsugen wa Koko" ("The Heat Source is Here") by Youko Nogiri
This is the second work from a new mangaka named Mimi Akio. (We will present her debut work later.) She is published in Princess and Petite Princess magazines. I’m quite impressed with Ms. Akio’s simple drawing style and her clever storytelling. This one is dear to my heart because it involves a physics professor in a stylish suit. I love the suit. You hear me, I LOVE GUYS IN SUITS!!! He drinks coffee from chemistry lab ware. There’s so much for me to love! Now… I know what some of you are thinking. Yeah, yeah, I don’t like student/teacher thing…but… … Continue reading ”Piano Lessons for An Adult" by Mimo Akio
Continuing on with our anniversary celebration, we have a short age-difference oneshot. I like this oneshot a lot because it’s not often that the female main character is older. This oneshot is from Shiki Chitose, a mangaka new to Omari’s Sister. I’m not thrilled about Shiki-Sensei’s drawing style (I don’t like how angular the faces are drawn), but I like her storytelling. And… the last couple of pages of this oneshot are very nice, despite her drawing style. Haha! OH! This is the first work we are releasing that was translated by Peonine who joined Omari’s Sister in February. She … Continue reading Oneshot: "Mayonaka ni Binetsu" ("Midnight Fever") by Shiki Chitose
Our anniversary is actually on the June 26th, but I decided to expand the celebration throughout the whole month of June. Because we don’t like to blow our wad all at once, we’ll be releasing a new oneshot at least once every two days. For this anniversary, I picked works that span the various magazines we pull content from. When we started back in 2009, we were a Hakusensha focused group that mainly pulled from Hana to Yume and Lala DX. Now we pull content from: Hana to Yume The Hana to Yume Lala Lala DX Lala Special Asuka Princess … Continue reading Omari’s Sister 4th Anniversary Kickoff!
