Halloween Oneshot 2: "Hoshi wa Akatsuki no Kage" (The Stars are the Dawn’s Shadow) by Nari Kusakawa

Happy Halloween everybody! If you’re going out trick-or-treating or taking your kids out trick-or-treating, please stay safe. Take a flashlight and stay on the sidewalks. Here’s our Halloween oneshot! It’s the final part of Nari Kusakawa’s Vampire Trilogy! This has been a lovely journey through time.  I hope some other mangaka do some related stories like this and “The Lovely Vampire Weddings” trilogy. This story is about Aurelia, the vampire who bit Ashleigh and Kiriko.  It’s kinda sad to see how she was compared to how she is in “Tasogare Renren”.  It kinda makes me wonder about Kiriko’s future. Anyhow, … Continue reading Halloween Oneshot 2: "Hoshi wa Akatsuki no Kage" (The Stars are the Dawn’s Shadow) by Nari Kusakawa

Long-Form Oneshot: "Tasogare Renren" ("Longing for Dusk") by Nari Kusakawa

This oneshot originally appeared as the feature oneshot in Aka Lala last year.  We’ve been sitting on it for a while and finally got up the courage to take it on a couple of weeks ago.  It helped that the oneshot was released in the “Boku no Hitsugi de Bansan wo” (“Shall we have Dinner in my Coffin”) short story compilation.  Having the tankoubon version saved us a lot of time cleaning. On a side note, included in the short story compilation are “Boku no Hitsugi de Bansan wo” and “Shinobigoto“, both of which we have already translated. Please check … Continue reading Long-Form Oneshot: "Tasogare Renren" ("Longing for Dusk") by Nari Kusakawa

Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Dinner in My Coffin" by Nari Kusakawa

How could I resist a one-shot with a title page like this!?  It’s soooo pretty!  This is actually a scan of the one of the post cards that comes with Shiro Lala.  The other post cards are a clean version of the Shiro Lala cover (Akiduki Sorata’s drawing from her one-shot) and “Wild Wing”.  But I digress…the idea of an all white vampire is cool.  I like the white bats too.  The concept is very nice and different. I really liked this one-shot.  It felt very mature for what’s usually in Lala, without being “adult”.  I wish there were more … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Dinner in My Coffin" by Nari Kusakawa
