"Lily" Chapter 4

I have the sinking feeling that this chapter is going to piss a lot of people off. It’s well worn shoujo territory and there are lots of folk who read OS who are opposed to student/teacher relationships, including myself. Unfortunately, this is part of the “Magnolia” story, so I can’t just not translate it. That would be weird. I had to set a lot of my brain aside to accept this chapter. First I had to set aside my hatred for student/teacher relationship fantasies, then I had to set aside my hatred for age gap fantasies, and finally I had … Continue reading "Lily" Chapter 4

"Detarame Mousouryoku Opera" Chapter 2

Phew! We’re finally done with another Bisco Hatori marathon!  I’d like to thank Amrai for helping me with some of the details of the translation.  I also want to give thanks to Ichigo Stars to suffering through some of the tougher redraws. We only have one more chapter of this series to go!  We’ve begun, but I’m afraid we won’t be done with it for another 7 to 10 days due to the rigors of translation and cleaning :(.  The good thing, though, is that this won’t be looming over our heads after we’re done. This second chapter is all … Continue reading "Detarame Mousouryoku Opera" Chapter 2

Magnolia Chapter 23

For those of you who hate Hugo, this chapter is going to suck. I love Hugo, so I thought this was a very romantic chapter. Hahaha! Unfortunately, we are left at the end with a nasty cliff hanger and the cruel news that the mangaka are skipping the next issue in order to collect material to continue the series.  But! Lily chapter 4 is coming out in Itan on the 25th, so we will have a Magnolia related chapter in July!  Hooray! That should ease the pain of waiting. On to the release! Link to “Magnolia” Chapter 23:  (PDF) OS … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 23

Omari’s Sister 3rd Anniversary Celebration Begins! One-Shot: "Wild Wing" by Yumi Kiiro

First of all, a teaser for our new series coming in June. Linky-link! Omari’s Sister started doing scanlations back on June 26, 2009.  At that time it was a one-person group and the first project was Ouran High School Host Club chapter 71. I only did that scanlation because I was tired of waiting for chapters to be released. I had no intention of taking this any further. But then true to shoujo scanlation culture, some friction arose over Ouran and the prideful and stubborn side of me took hold and I continued on with Ouran. I admit at that … Continue reading Omari’s Sister 3rd Anniversary Celebration Begins! One-Shot: "Wild Wing" by Yumi Kiiro

"Magnolia" Chp 22

Update:  If you are having problems viewing this file, please upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 8 or above).  Just this once, I have re-crunched the file so it is compatible with version 6 and above.  If you are using some other PDF reader, all bets are off moving forward. This is the last time I will crunch a file to be viewed by an ancient version of Acrobat. This seems like a bridge chapter to the next story arc.  Not much new is revealed in this chapter, but it’s necessary to cement some of the … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chp 22

"Rex Fabula" Chapter 6

If you haven’t read this series, then I hope you give it try because it’s one of my favorite Shounen-for-girls series.  The first 4 chapters are here and chapter 5 is here. There are no crazy monsters in this chapter. Actually, there is much more dialog than there has been in the other chapters so far.  It’s kinda of a nice break, but at the same time it’s the setup for the first real arc in the story. The next chapter introduces a bunch of new characters, so get ready for it. This chapter introduces Kurumizawa Kotoko as a love … Continue reading "Rex Fabula" Chapter 6

"Rex Fabula" Chapter 5

This is our first Omari’s Sister release of “Rex Fabula”!  A little warning about this chapter: the monsters in this series run around naked and have human breasts. It’s a weird artist choice, but I didn’t think it was indecent because there is nothing sexual about them.  It’s distracting at first, but you’ll get used it. This chapter is pretty intense psychologically and action-wise.  We get to see Hamare in action as he figures out what his weapon is and how to use it. Though, by the end chapter, I couldn’t really say what his weapon was, but it’s quite … Continue reading "Rex Fabula" Chapter 5

"Fushigi no Maria-kun" Chapter 5

We are now on the second volume of “Fushigi no Maria-kun”!  There are nine chapters total in this series. Hopefully we’ll be able to finish it before the end of the year.  Haha! This is truly a challenging series. The redraws, translation, and typesetting are all horrendous.  But I think it’s worth it. This story is very heartwarming and Shiina Dai’s dialog is always a treat to translate. I wish it could have released this chapter in April since it’s a story about cherry blossom viewing.  My favorite part of this chapter is the conversation between Maria and Toko’s father.  … Continue reading "Fushigi no Maria-kun" Chapter 5
