Water-Themed One-Shot: "Seiten ni Tsurugi wo Kazase" ("Raise your Sword in Fair Weather") by Shizuru Onda

Wow! We got this one in with barely any time to spare, though it’s not like any of our deadlines are hard. But still, big thanks to Kiruku Naru for her lightening fingers.  I didn’t get all the pages to her until yesterday, so I was not expecting to be able to release this today.  Hee! Also, thanks to Jade for a wonderful translation and thanks to Maki from Chinmokurev for helping us clean this one-shot! We end our August water-themed one-shots with a bang!  This is a really nice one-shot from one of Bisco Hatori’s former assistants.  If this … Continue reading Water-Themed One-Shot: "Seiten ni Tsurugi wo Kazase" ("Raise your Sword in Fair Weather") by Shizuru Onda

Water-Themed One-Shot: "Shima x Dan: My Life with Boys on a Island"

As our proofreader Zenny pointed out, we don’t often do reverse harem projects.  “Ouran” was definitely a reverse harem and “Magnolia” was looking that way, though now it seems to have narrowed down to Ayato and Hugo with Nagi as the suffering third wheel.  Well, here you go! This is definitely are reverse harem, though it seemed to me a few pages in, Minato and one particular guy had already paired off.  Actually, if you look carefully at the title page, you can see one of the guys has already staked his claim. This is a super-cute one-shot from the … Continue reading Water-Themed One-Shot: "Shima x Dan: My Life with Boys on a Island"

Water-Themed One-Shot: "Over the Blue" by Yumi Kiiro

If you read and/or downloaded this earlier, please re-read or re-download the latest version.  We missed two pages the first time around.  The two pages are now included.  Sorry about that.  Thanks to Steaming Bao for the head up. Here’s a very cute one-shot from Yumi Kiiro (“Library Wars”). It was included in the “Nemurenu Kishi ni Hanataba wo” one-shot compilation. This is Kotomi’s debut as a translator.  In the past she has been one of the folks who QCs our translations. Let’s all welcome Kotomi to her expanded role at Omari’s Sister!  I like to thank Silver Lunar for … Continue reading Water-Themed One-Shot: "Over the Blue" by Yumi Kiiro

Water-Themed One-Shot: "Kaizokuhime" ("Pirate Princess") by Yuki Shiwasu

Before we get to the one-shot, I need to do some advertising.  We need an experienced advanced-level Japanese to English translator for “Akagami no Shirayukihime.”  We will be working from the tankoubon from now on, however, if the translator wishes, he or she may translate from the magazine so as not to be bombarded with multiple chapters at once.  Also, the translator can work on other OS projects at their own leisure. We are also recruiting Cleaners and Redraw Artists.  Please see our recruitment page for more details.——————————  Now onto the one-shot!  You may recognize the name of the mangaka, … Continue reading Water-Themed One-Shot: "Kaizokuhime" ("Pirate Princess") by Yuki Shiwasu

Water-Themed One-Shot: "Kujira ni Kisusuru Hi" ("The Day I Kissed a Whale") by Yutaka Asano

Some thanks first :).  Thanks to Holanio for lettering her butt on this one-shot, and thanks to La Noche de los Caidos for helping us clean and redraw this one-shot.  Thanks to you ladies, this one-shot looks gorgeous! Oh, and let’s not forget Jade for doing a great translation! This is probably the most typical shoujo work we’ve done since chapters 3 – 8 of “Pika Ichi.”  First a warning, if you know anything about whales, sea diving, or underwater photography, clear that knowledge from your brain now.  This is a fantasy and fantastic things happen.  Second, this is more … Continue reading Water-Themed One-Shot: "Kujira ni Kisusuru Hi" ("The Day I Kissed a Whale") by Yutaka Asano

Aria One-Shot: "Young Shinba and the Sleeping Giants" by Haru Maebashi

This one-shot has been simmering on the back burner for over a year.  We’ve been working on it bit by bit for that long until it snuck up on me all lettered and nearly ready for release.  I was gonna release a few days ago, but I decided not to bury “Ojousama no Untenshu,” so I let it sit a little longer. Anyhow…this is shounenish one-shot from Aria magazine.  The premise is good, but as a one-shot there aren’t nearly enough pages to fully flesh-out the concept and the story. I would have liked to have seen this as 3 … Continue reading Aria One-Shot: "Young Shinba and the Sleeping Giants" by Haru Maebashi
