New Short Series: "LLLL" by Tei Ataru

  Update 12/21/2013: Updates terms “shades” and “dark lamps” to be consistent the rest of the chapters.———————————- We’ve been stewing on this series for a while. The chapters are all translated and the pages are cleaned and redrawn (for the most part >_>).  It’s just been that extra push to finish the chapters that’s eluded us.  Hopefully now that we’ve launched the series, we’ll get the next 3 chapters done soon. As I said in the title this is a short series.  There are only 4 chapters that ran in Avarus magazine (Mag Garden), and they are compiled into one … Continue reading New Short Series: "LLLL" by Tei Ataru

"Magnolia" is ending November — Let’s Look at it Readership on Crimson Flower/Omari’s Sister

According to the Aria website, “Magnolia” is ending in the next issue. I still haven’t received the current issue, so that means for us, we have two chapters left.  I don’t want to speculate on whether this is a planned ending or not, but I will say, I thought that there were at least 2 or 3 volumes more of story left… or so in my imagination.  Be that as it may, I have been noticing over the past year a rapid drop off in “Magnolia” readership on this blog.  So speaking only for this blog, let’s look at some … Continue reading "Magnolia" is ending November — Let’s Look at it Readership on Crimson Flower/Omari’s Sister

"Magnolia" Chapter 36

Here’s “Magnolia” Chapter 36.  I thought this was going to be an arc about the King and Ayato, but I guess it isn’t.  Rather, it’s just follows Ayato and his buddies through the aftermath of the masquerade party. To my surprise, Hollier is a hardcore shipper.  I was laughing heartily at the panels where she appears.  Hollier is a good girl. I wish the best for her. Alexandra owns my heart. I really like him. Go with your heart, you beautiful man!  Ah Hugo… Hee! Finally, the drawing of him I’ve been waiting for and it’s cute! Hee! There’s hope … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 36

"Rex Fabula" Chapter 12

Help Needed — We need a couple of experienced redraw artists to help complete this series.  There are five chapters left, and I would like to finish the series before the end of the year. If you are interested, please send an email to me Kuroneko003: crimsonflowerscans@gmail.com—————————-The plot thickens as we learn a little bit about who’s motivating Minakata.  From now on, we move into the meat of the story and the conclusion.  There will be a lot of action and dialog in the last five chapters, so get ready for some fun! And now onto the release!Links to “Rex … Continue reading "Rex Fabula" Chapter 12

"Rex Fabula" Chapter 11

We’re still trucking along slowly on this series.  Chapter 12 should be released on Friday or Saturday. In this chapter we see Homare unknowingly making friends.  Haha! Homare is so stubborn, but he’s making some really good friends. I’m not feeling very talkative tonight. I’ve got a pile to stuff waiting to be finished, and it’s making me twitchy because I want to get done, so I can move on to the supernatural stuff. And now onto the release!Links to “Rex Fabula” Chapter 11: (PDF) (Zip) Next up will be the S&M oneshot “Sakashima” followed by “Rex Fabula” Chapter 12. Continue reading "Rex Fabula" Chapter 11

"Magnolia" Chapter 35

This chapter confuses me quite a bit, but I wonder if I’m the only who found it a bit inconsistent with past chapters in the stories.  This is the biggest problem I’m having: And… Soooo… without spoiling what comes ahead.  I’ll just say, “WTF, Vincent?”  Anyhow, I’m very scared about the possibility this chapter opens, and hope it won’t go down the typical shoujo route because it would negate too much of the previous story, the fundamental mechanic of the “Magnolia”, and be untrue to the characters as laid out so far — mainly it makes the King looks very … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 35

"Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 4

There’s one more chapter to go!  I’ll start typesetting it tomorrow, so if all goes well, it will be ready for release around this time Friday (my time) or Saturday morning. There’s a nasty cliffhanger, so I won’t keep you or the proofreaders waiting.  This chapter addresses the move Mamiya made in chapter 3.  I’m sure the new information will paint a completely different picture of Mamiya and her bold move in chapter 3. I’ve decided to hold off on commenting until the end of series.  I like the comments that have been left so far, and it would seem … Continue reading "Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 4
