Orange Chocolate Chapter 7

Here is Orange Chocolate chapter 7. Link to “Orange Chocolate” Chapter 7 At the end of this, it seems the story is taking a turn.  I haven’t read ahead of this to understand where to, but  I hope it’s someplace good.  Anyhow, this chapter is full of lovely images of Ritsu and Chiro in traditional costumes.  It was a tough chapter to edit, so please give thanks to Silver Lunar and Sephyna who did a great deal to help get this chapter out in a timely manner :). It looks like I have a few days before Lala issue 5/2010 … Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chapter 7

Orange Chocolate Chapter 6

Here’s Orange Chocolate Chapter 6.  Some minor changes were made to the pages I released for the preview, so make sure you read the the whole thing.  We finally get to the beginning of Chiro and Ritsu’s dance.  I apologize now for the nasty cliffhanger.

Orange Chocolate Chp 5 Correction

I found a small, but very important translation error in “Orange Chocolate” chp 5.  On page 45 instead of the boss saying the dance won’t be on TV, he says it “ought to be on TV.”  I’ve made the change and the updated file is available via the same link.  But just in case, here’s another link. Link “Orange Chocolate” Chp 5 version 1 This is a plot point that will become key in Chapter 7. Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chp 5 Correction

Orange Chocolate Chapter 5

Here’s “Orange Chocolate” chapter 5. Link to Orange Chocolate chapter 5 (update 3/1/2010 — Version 1: Translation correction on page 45 and minor edits from Kuma-chan) Chiro moves forward towards understanding herself more. For those of you interested in the dance mentioned in this chapter here are some links to some videos! These are video of “Fuji Musume” or “The Wisteria Maiden” starring Tamasaburo.  I was really lucky to find this videos because they include EXCELLENT commentary in English about what’s going on during the dance.  I wouldn’t have been able to appreciate the dance at all without the commentary, … Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chapter 5

My Thoughts about Orange Chocolate Chapter 4

What I like about this chapter is the way, towards the end, Chiro starts to confront her own personality.  She wonders if she is as bubble-headed as Ritsu is playing her.  I wonder will Ritsu’s behavior while he’s in Chiro body affect the way Chiro’s friends and colleagues perceive her.  Sure, Chiro has her impulsive moments, but she’s not fiery like when Ritsu inside of her.  I wonder will Ritsu soon begin to confront his own personality.  I think he’s definitely getting a different perspective on Chiro.  I get the feeling that he’s taking her more seriously in terms of … Continue reading My Thoughts about Orange Chocolate Chapter 4
