First a bit Crimson Flowers business:Volunteers Needed Experienced Typesetter for Pochamani, commitment 1 chapter/month Typesetters needed for short-series and oneshots.  Projects will be assigned according your ability. Commitment 30 – 60-pages/month Contact Kuroneko003 (crimsonflowerscans@gmail.com) to apply.  ———————————- Two more chapters to go after this. This chapter is rather risky, and took me aback. I didn’t post any previews on Tumblr for this chapter because I didn’t want to spoil it.  I will give my opinions about this chapter in the comments after 2 or 3 days to give folks time to read it and think about it for themselves. Please … Continue reading "Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 3

"Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 2

All right! Let’s get started on the rest of “Kanojo ni Naru Hi”! I don’t want to say much about this chapter because it’s all the best shoujo stuff we love and it’s better to just experience how Ogura puts the elements together. We need blog banners for this series.  Artwork from the cover of the compilation have been included in this release. Some nice banners from our readers would be greatly appreciated. The width must be 1250-px and the height can be between 200 – 350-px. A PSD with the a separate text lay is preferred, but JPEG and … Continue reading "Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 2

"Pochamani" Chapter 8

Updated 9/6/2013 — Three missing pieces of text and SFX added, but nothing that impacts the story.——————————  Moving along with “Pochamani”, we finally get to meet Tsumugi’s family. Tsumugi’s family is fun and very realistic. Their dinner conversation reminded of how the conversations around my family’s dinner table degrade to TMI territory.  I was laughing hysterically as I was translating, because I couldn’t believe what was being said! This is a nice rest before the next story arch begins.  Personally, the next story arc makes me want to put my fist through my monitor to punch a certain new character. … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 8

"Pochamani" Chapter 7

Thanks to everyone for waiting patiently for us to continue “Pochamani”.  I wanted to do this chapter in particular in high quality, and I think it was well worth the wait. From now on to be in-synch with the tankoubon releases, we will release one chapter per month. We anticipate no multiple months long hiatuses in the near to mid-range future. I’ve included the artwork from the volume 2 tankoubon, so if you are feeling inspired, I would love some Pochamani banners for the blog (width: 1250px, height: 250 – 350px, PSD with separate text layer preferred) Oh! I almost … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 7

New Series: "Kanojo ni Naru Hi" ("Becoming a Girl Day") by Akane Ogura

At last we are introducing a new series! It’s not the series I expected to debut first, though. Rather, this series came out of the blue, and I liked it so much that I jumped on it immediately. (Akane Ogura gender-bender — how could I resist?) I don’t want to say much about the story, because I believe it’s best to go into this knowing nothing.  So instead I will talk about how Hakusensha is distributing the series. The first chapter ran in Lala DX and the rest of the series is being released as a tankoubon rather than continuing … Continue reading New Series: "Kanojo ni Naru Hi" ("Becoming a Girl Day") by Akane Ogura

"Pochamani" Chapter 6

AUGH!!! The release date for “Pochamani” Volume 2 has been updated to June 20th on AmazonJP. So no Chapter 7 until the end of June. Sorry everyone :/.————————————— First I’d like to announce some good news! Even though it’s not listed on Hakusensha’s website, “Pochamani” Volume 2 is listed for release on May 20th on Amazon JP! This means chapter 7 will come out toward the end of May, and we will not have to find a substitute! I’m so relieved!  I know folks out there are impatient, but chapter 7 is very important, and it would have sucked to … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 6
