Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Twinkle Loop Story" by Ayu Nozaki

K3

I hate katakana. Up until yesterday, I thought the title of this one-shot was “Twinkle-Poo Story”. Apparently the mangaka was being clever in a non-native language and I was supposed to see how the “ru” was multitasking as the “le” in “Twinkle” and the “loo” in “Loop”…ugh…I hate the Japanese version of English. Why can’t you use Japanese words!!!  *Bangs head* Katakana is the bane of my existence. Anyhow…a kind and more learned soul set me straight.  Thank you higher power! Indeed! I learned something new yesterday! This is one of my favorite all time one-shots.  It comes in behind … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Twinkle Loop Story" by Ayu Nozaki

Zero-Sum Ward One-Shot: "Noenoto"

K3

I’m releasing this now and if I have to apologize, I’ll apologize later.  Hahaha! It shouldn’t be a big deal.  Anyhow, this is a joint project between us and The Zero Alliance. If all goes well, it should appear on their website in a few hours once the workday is done on the other side of the world. This is a shounen-ish one-shot from Zero-Sum Ward.  This one-shot has been sitting around half done for about a year.  Sorry. It was meant for Bakeneko’s Lair…but, well…you know the story by now :). Not much to say about this one-shot, other … Continue reading Zero-Sum Ward One-Shot: "Noenoto"

One-Shot: "See You Again" by Junko Ike

K3

I’m starting to notice a running theme in these Shiro Lala one-shots.  I imagine it’s because in Japanese culture white is associated with death, which is an opposite notion for Westerners.  If you’re still recovering from “Souai Metaphysica”, then perhaps you ought to wait a day or two before reading this one-shot.  It’s a short one-shot, but it packs a lot of punch for 16 pages.  I think this one-shot ends on a better note than “Souai”, but still…sigh…haha!  Unfortunately, the next chapter of AnS is not gonna pull us out of the sorrow hole :(.  But don’t worry, the … Continue reading One-Shot: "See You Again" by Junko Ike

One-Shot: "Seimei desu ga nani ka?" ("I’m Seimei. What of it?")

K3

WAH-BAM!  It’s another one-shot!  This one is a “Shounen for girls” type of one-shot.  I wanted to release this one over a year ago, but it kept getting kicked down the road.  I’m happy we finally finish this one.  Big thanks to Blotty Parchment for taking on the challenge of translating this one-shot.  There were a lot of exorcist terms she had to research.  On top of that, there are language differences between Shoujo and Shounen manga.  It can be a little tough for folks like us who aren’t native Japanese speakers.  Also, thanks to Sapphire Pyro for the beautiful … Continue reading One-Shot: "Seimei desu ga nani ka?"

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

K3

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

Fall Supernatural One-Shot: "Kamisama no Sonata"

K3

This one-shot is so beautiful, that I stopped everything to get it out immediately.  This one-shot kind of feels like a marriage of “La Corda Oro” and “Seigi no Mikata“.  I love stories with poor, tough, prideful boys.  It’s always so cute when a girl breaks through the boy’s shell, without actually breaking the boy.  Please enjoy the artwork.  Like most of the works from Ichinose-sensei, this one-shot has lush artwork.  And now onto the links!Updated 9/21: Small correction to the translation on page 21 Updated 9/17: Small change to the translation on pages 5 and 53. Links to “Kami-sama … Continue reading Fall Supernatural One-Shot: "Kamisama no Sonata"

Halloween in February: "The Devil Mansion’s Teacher"

K3

(Joint with The Zero Alliance) This one-shot was supposed to come out last Halloween, but because I underestimated the amount work needed to do the image editing and redraws, we couldn’t get it done in time.  Fortunately, things came together now, so we’ll have a little bit of Halloween in February.Again, this is another project that is a little different from want we usually do (one more project like this, then I can’t say that anymore…haha).  This story isn’t actually all that spooky, it’s more of a spooky motif.  The story itself is quite heartwarming and I really like Nayuta. … Continue reading Halloween in February: "The Devil Mansion’s Teacher"
