New Short Series: "Nemurenu Ou ni Sasagu Yogatari" (A Bedtime Story for the Sleepless King") Chapter 1 by Toki Yajima

K3

I’m never really sure whether to use the mangaka’s incorrect translation of the title of their work. This one is pretty clunky, so when I post, I’m going to use the Japanese title. But if I were to give this series an English title, I would use “A Bedtime Story for the Sleepless King”. I just found out that this series ends at chapter 4. I was hoping that it would last longer as the mystery unfolds. I hope the end isn’t rushed. This first chapter made me cry, so you may want to get out some tissues in preparation. … Continue reading New Short Series: "Nemurenu Ou ni Sasagu Yogatari" (A Bedtime Story for the Sleepless King") Chapter 1 by Toki Yajima

"Kanojo ni Naru Hi Another" Chapter 6

K3

“Kanojo ni Naru Hi” and “Kanojo ni Naru Hi — Another” will be releasing in Japan and on this blog on alternating months. “Kanojo ni Naru Hi — Another” comes out next week in Japan and “Kanojo ni Naru Hi” comes out in November in Japan. Both are in separate bi-monthly magazines, so that’s how it works out. This chapter feels like a turning point in the story. To be honest, I can’t tell where the story is going from here, which is kinda exciting. I’m not even sure I know what I want to happen in the next chapter.  … Continue reading "Kanojo ni Naru Hi Another" Chapter 6

Miyoshi and Mamiya are back! The story picks up with them a year after Mimaya came out of her cocoon again. At this point, Miyoshi and Mamiya are college students in their early 20’s. This series is a little more mature than the original series. I look forward to seeing where the series goes. So without saying much about the chapter, let’s get on with the release!Links to “Kanojo ni Naru Hi” Chapter 6: (PDF) (Zip) Next up is “Kanojo ni Naru Hi Another” Chapter 6 this weekend.

New Short Series: "Danshi Gurashi" Chapter 1 by Mai Mishikata

K3

We’ve been sitting on this short series for a while. We finally have a typesetter, so hopefully we can release the rest of the series soon. This series came out in Hana to Yume in 2013 before “Lip Smoke”. It reminds me of a modern day “The Odd Couple”. The series is pretty low-key and pleasant with a some fan service thrown in once in a while.  Basically it’s fujoshi bait, so fujoshi, go at it. I, on the other hand, will take this for face value. I think Doujima looks like a younger version of Seta. And now onto … Continue reading New Short Series: "Danshi Gurashi" Chapter 1 by Mai Mishikata

"Kanojo ni Naru Hi — Another" Chapter 5

K3

When I first saw this frontis page, I thought, “please let Sagara become the school bancho”. That would be cool! Maybe it’ll happen. Who knows. Anyhow, what does happen sets up for an interesting arc for the series as a whole. The question is whether anyone will actually do it and how does this bleed over into the main series “Kanojo ni Naru Hi”.  Oh, ho, ho! I guess we released that oneshot just in time. A reminder: “Kanojo ni Naru Hi” with Mamiya and Miyoshi is resuming in September in Ane Lala magazine. Of course, we will be translating … Continue reading "Kanojo ni Naru Hi — Another" Chapter 5

"Hanaibara" Epilogue

K3

Here’s the short “Hanaibara” extra story that came after chapter 3. I got a good laugh out of this short, but I think it sums up where the story ended. I’ll miss these three. Maybe we’ll get lucky in the future and see a oneshot with these characters. It seems to happen all the time in Wings magazine. If you enjoyed this short series, please buy the book and show Mio Kawahara your love. The book is lovely and comes with color pages and some nice extras.  Here are some links to purchase: ISBN-13: 9784800000996 Amazon JPYes Asia ($9.99 + … Continue reading "Hanaibara" Epilogue

This is the final chapter of the “Hanaibara” main story. We’ll release the short extra story tomorrow.

We’ll present that during our “Halloween” oneshot party later in the year. I hope you’ve enjoyed this series and please look forward to the extra short story tomorrow! And now onto the release!
