I hope everyone in the US had a nice 4th of July! We grilled vegetables and portobello mushrooms instead meat. It turned out better than I ever could have thought. For a change of pace during a BBQ, I suggest … Continue reading Lala Fantasy Oneshot: "Baku to Nemurihime" by Yuki Fujitsuka
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

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
