Fushigi no Maria-kun Chapter 2

K3

Once again, “Fushigi no Maria-kun” proves to be our most difficult series to typeset.  Hopefully we caught all of the errors.  Anyhow…Maria and Toko continue on with their evolving relationship.  I really like how this chapter shows us the weirdness that happens when a childhood friendship starts to blossom into something more.  I like how the vampirism isn’t the focus of the story, but rather the backdrop.  I also like how the story is staying focused on Toko and Maria.  I must admit that I love this kind of innocent sweetness. Onto the links!  Links to “Fushigi no Maria-kun” Chapter … Continue reading Fushigi no Maria-kun Chapter 2

"Magnolia" Chapter 14

K3

It’s been such a long day!  At least I was productive, though,  feel like I’m dragging my sorry butt over the finish line and directly into bed.  I was sooooo hoping that this chapter would be longer than 30 pages, but, alas, “Magnolia” chapters keep getting shorter and shorter T_T.  This time there are only 23 pages and two of those pages are a title spread and one is repeat from chapter 13.  I guess the color pages took a long time to paint???  Okay, I’ll admit the color pages are lovely and I am grateful for them. Anyhow…there’s been … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 14

Here’s a preview of our newest series, “Fushigi no Maria-kun”!  This is a 9 chapter series by Shiina Dai, the same artist who brought us “World End Garden“, which is my favorite one-shot of all time!  Like “World End Garden” is series has a good range of emotions (though it doesn’t reach the gloomy depths of WEG) and a richly complex relationship between to the two main characters.  I’m really looking forward to releasing the first chapter.  So, to get you ready for what’s in store, here’s a preview of the first chapter!

"The Scarecrow of Oz" Chapter 4

K3

  Here’s “The Scarecrow of Oz” chapter 4.  As the story continues we learn that the power witch’s name is “Crane Rouge” and she’s very evil.  Her familiar “Kumo” the Cloud Lion is ADORABLE!!!  I want a stuffed version!  If you are feeling creative, please make an adorable Kumo banner for the release of the final chapter next month.  Kumo!!!  かわいい！！！Other than Kumo, I think the most enjoyable things about this chapter are the interactions between Kurou and Chelvy.  In many ways they seems like an old married couple.  Here are the links! Links to “The Scarecrow of Oz” chapter … Continue reading "The Scarecrow of Oz" Chapter 4
