Recruitment: We are in need of cleaner/redraw artists and Japanese to English translators for oneshots. If you are interested please see our general recruitment post. We welcome folks who can only volunteer temporarily over spring and summer break.————————————–This chapter was the planned end of the series in Hana to Yume magazine, but the series was extended and is currently on hiatus after 11 chapters. The series will return in a month or so.  We will be able to release chapter 6 from the magazine raw, but after that, we will have to wait for the volume 2 tankoubon. Unfortunately, I … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 5

RECRUITMENT:  We need proofreaders/QCers. I you’re interested, go here. ——————————————-And suddenly this seemingly innocuous and sweet story goes someplace totally unexpected… *_* Whut? Is Tsumugi seriously saying that?! We knew what was on Tagami’s mind… but, dude, really? Anyhow, I tried to be as delicate as possible with the translation in hopes of not making it look as though things took a sudden 90-degree turn.  Still, it’s refreshing to see a female character not shy away from carnal feelings. And thank goodness for Mami and Seiji. Two have been good check valves so far.  Though, I still have suspicions about … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 4

Update 8/24/2013:  Magnificent Rangers changed to Gluttony Rangers in Chapter 2. First of all, I am providing zips for your convenience so you can make fanart and what not. Please DO NOT upload the zips to manga aggregators. We don’t approve of manga aggregators, and therefore do not want our work posted to them. Second: we need winter banners! (Link to specs) Okay, onto the release. I’m going to post the links first and then comment on chapter 2. I suggest you read my thoughts on chapter 2 after reading the chapter. Links to Pochamani Chapters: Chapter 1 (Zip) (PDF) … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 1 – 3 (with Zip option)

First of all, things are about to get a little confusing.  Chapter 1 in the magazine, which we’ve already translated, is chapter 3 in the tankoubon.  I knew about this chapter (chapter 1 in the tankoubon) because it was the initial oneshot, but I wasn’t aware of the second oneshot, which is chapter 2 in the tankoubon.  Sigh…. Anyhow, there are a few extra page in chapter 3 in the tankoubon, which was chapter 1 in the magazine, therefore we will re-release the chapter along with chapter 2, so you can get the extra couple of pages. Are you confused … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 1

First of all I would like to thank Amrai for helping me fine-tune the translation :). And next I would like to thank “Eagle-Eyes” Kaito for some amazing QC work!  Holy crap! She’s thorough! This series caught me eye immediately, and after doing a quick read through, I realized I’d come across a real gem.  All three chapters and the one-shot have been released in Japan over the past 2 months, so I’ll do my best to finish this series quickly. That said, I have read through the other chapters, and I still feel this series is quite special and … Continue reading Series Debut: "Pochama ni" Chapter 1 (or 3) by Kaname Hirama
