Akagami no Shirayukihime Chapter 24

This was supposed to come out a little over a week ago, but sometimes life takes unexpected and sad turns, and people have to stop everything to observe the passing of a life.  It’s difficult to take the passing of someone your own age.  I didn’t know the deceased well, but her death did cause me to pause and assess my own mortality.  All I have to say is life is fragile, so make everyday your best :). Anyhow…here’s Akagami no Shirayukihime chapter 24.  This chapter taunted and teased me the whole time.  It really fought against get done.  Hahaha!  … Continue reading Akagami no Shirayukihime Chapter 24

Pika Ichi Update!

I have “Pika Ichi” chapter 10 and based on the content, we will resume the series!  Chapter 8 has been sent to the cleaners.  May is already set, so the resumption of series will happen sometime after May.  I will have to look at the schedule and reassess the priority of releases.  This is really hard, because there are a lot of one-shots I’m very in love with.  We’ll figure it out though.

We Are Dropping "Orange Chocolate"

After much consideration and tracking the series for the past few months, I have decided to drop “Orange Chocolate”.  This series started out very strong and then got bogged down with a sports festival arc and then continued down a road that neglected its original premise.  It looks like this series has no end in sight and I can’t commit to this series indefinitely.  I’m sorry to all the Orange Chocolate fans out there.  Hopefully another group will pick up the series and upkeep the quality.  Dropping this series, though, will allow us to continue our new series without stress … Continue reading We Are Dropping "Orange Chocolate"

"Pika Ichi" Chapter 7

Here is “Pika Ichi” chapter 7.  Things are settling into the mode of examining Dougen’s personality and life situation and starts the anticipated Dougen x Hanako relationship.  This chapter is a little bit shorter than usual (chapter 8 is also a little shorter) which was nice for us in terms of work load.Links to “Pika Ichi” chapter 7:  (Zip) (PDF) Spoiler Alert! Spoilers Ahead! My Thoughts on the Chapter: Hanako is too saintly.  It seems to be a key feature of her personality though.  I’m actually kinda disappointed in this development.  It really disturbs me that Hanako so easily ran … Continue reading "Pika Ichi" Chapter 7

"Pika Ichi" Chapter 6

“Pika Ichi” returns!  I’m glad I took a break from the series.  It allowed me to gain some perspective on the series and to see the next three chapters before deciding to continue the series.  Make no mistake, this series continues to defy logic.  Apparently adults do not exist in this story’s world so it’s basically like “Lord of the Flies”.  By the way, I hated the book “Lord of the Flies”.  For the most part senselessly violent children don’t settle well with me.  Still, I like Tarou, Hanako, and Manaka and I’m curious about Dougen and Misono so I … Continue reading "Pika Ichi" Chapter 6

Akagami no Shirayukihime Chp 23

The long wait is over!  This was a tougher chapter than usual in terms of translation, cleaning, and redrawing than usual.  I think most of our active cleaners helped out on this chapter.  I think we are all glad to have this chapter over with!  Phew! Well, the chapter didn’t go as I expected, but my random wish for pirates in the story did come true!  Hooray for pirates!Updated 03/11/2011 (incorporated multiple minor edits from Holanio) Updated 03/10/2011 (error on page 25 fixed)Links to “Akagami no Shirayukihime” chapter 23: (Zip) (PDF) Spoiler Alert!
