Seigi no MikataLeave a comment

Sakuraiya Blooming!!!

K3

Ah, yes!  Sakuraiya is blooming again ladies.  I’m working on chapter 2 as I type.  This is “Seigi no Mikata”, one of our series on “Bakeneko’s Lair“.  I’m sorry we couldn’t bring this bishie to Omari’s Sister.  Unfortunately, our hero, Mikata, has a habit of cussing like a sailor and I didn’t want to water it down ;p.  Anyhow…this series needs some fangirl love, so if this piques your interest, head on over to Bakeneko’s Lair to read the first chapter!

"Magnolia" Chapter 17

K3

First a little shameless plug to encourage you all to give the mangaka money for this manga series by purchasing the books.  Volume 3 (Chapters 10 – 16) has just been released and it has a beautiful drawing of Nagi on the cover and the full drawing of Nagi on the first inside page.  There’s also a drama CD available. Here are some links to purchase! Amazon Japan via Naked Ape’s Amazon Storefront:(Volume 3 only) (Volume 3 + Drama CD) Yes Asia:(Volume 3) (Volume 3 + Drama CD) Since I didn’t know Volume 3 came with the Drama CD, I … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 17

"The Scarecrow of Oz" Chapter 5

K3

This kinda got lost in the shuffle for a few months.  Haha!  We’ve had a bunch craziness for the last three month, so it was hard to keep up with things.  Anyhow, here is the final chapter of “The Scarecrow of Oz”.  This is the last chapter in the serialization in the tankoubon, but there are two omakes from later issues of Hana to Yume magazine.  I have those omakes and at some point we’ll get those translated and released. Anyhow…this chapter sweetly ends a very cute series.  Kurou and Chelvy forever!Here is the link! Link to “The Scarecrow of … Continue reading "The Scarecrow of Oz" Chapter 5

"Seirei Produce" Chapter 7

K3

Huzzah!  “Seirei Produce” is back!  Oh how I missed the Amane/Fuuta comedy pair.  A note on chapters 5 and 6, I had a rare type of brainfart and I only saw the kanjis and discarded the furiganas for the middle brother’s name.  Instead of “Ookami the Black/Blue”, he is “Sou the Wolf”.  Personally, I like “Ookami the Black”…but that’s not the name the mangaka intended.  So it’s “Sou” from now on and I’ve gone back and updated chapters 5 and 6 (hopefully, I’ve caught all instances of it).I also decided to call Fuuta a Fox since the other two brothers … Continue reading "Seirei Produce" Chapter 7

Magnolia Chapter 16

K3

“Magnolia” chapters continue to get shorter.  Part of me wishes Naked Ape would go on hiatus with “Magnolia” so they can concentrate on finishing “Dolls”.  The way things are now really isn’t fair to “Magnolia”.   I don’t like the trickling pace and I don’t like seeing and sometimes having to fix the many little errors in the artwork that I imagine are due to being rushed. That said, this chapter is pretty entertaining and I like Ayato’s casual outfit.  In the background, though, I think events are starting to get repetitive with respect to Hugo popping up wherever Ayato … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 16

Fushigi no Maria-kun Chp 3

K3

Tonight was anime night and I was wasn’t sure whether I was going to be able to post this tonight at all, so I did a quick post earlier.  Now I have time to write a full post. This is the third chapter for “Fushigi no Maria-kun” and this time we get to see matters from Maria’s perspective.  My gosh is Maria sweet and huggable!  I liked translating this chapter a lot.  Maria’s inner monologues are beautifully written in Japanese.  I hope I was able to translate some of that beauty into English.  Shiina Dai never ceases to amaze me … Continue reading Fushigi no Maria-kun Chp 3
