Wild Ones (Arakure) Volume 5 is out in the US, so go out and buy it. I will resume translation starting from Volume 6. Also out: Tsukuyomi Moon Phase Vol 12 Love Attack Vol 4: too much crazy-female drama for me so I will not be continuing this series.

Chibi Vampire (Karin) Vol 11: Anju “grows up” Continue reading Wild One (Arakure) Vol 5 is Out in the US

Rakuto is a orphan, too, who Sachie’s grandfather has taken in and … Continue reading Wild Ones (Arakure), Volume 1
