Orange Chocolate Chapters 18 and 19

K3

First of all, I want to apologize to all the “Orange Chocolate” fans for the long delay since chapter 17.  From now on, there will be at least one chapter of “Orange Chocolate” released each month (unless the we’re caught up and the mangaka takes a break).  And now here are chapters 18 and 19 of Orange Chocolate.  Finally, we’re getting back to the main story.  I think chapter 19 is a beautiful little gem of a chapter and probably my favorite chapter of this series so far.

Teaser: Orange Chocolate Chapters 18 and 19

K3

Here’s a little teaser to get you ready for the double release of “Orange Chocolate” chapters 18 and 19.  I decided to do a double release because these two chapters go together well and it would be cruel to keep you all waiting in between chapters.  Also, I didn’t want to break the emotional momentum that builds in chapter 18. We’re aiming for the release of both chapters on the 10th and it looks like we are going to be able to deliver :). Continue reading Teaser: Orange Chocolate Chapters 18 and 19

Aria 12

I have Aria 12! The good news is that “Pika Ichi” diverges from the pattern I was detecting and quite possibly could be a short series. We will add it back to this month’s schedule. We will be doing: Junketsu + Vampire Chp 4 (Kana biting and a werewolf! W00t!!!) Magnolia Chp 4 (Dance Ayato, dance!) Pika Ichi Chp 4 (Friends!) One-Shot:  “Akuma Yashiki” (Horror Comedy Fun!)

Favorite New Series Poll Results and "Pika Ichi"

K3

Here are the results of the poll about what your favorite new series is: Magnolia 28% (87 votes)Pika Ichi 26% (80 votes)Junketsu + Vampire 46% (145 votes) I’m not surprised that “J+K” won by a wide margin. However, I am surprised at how closely “Magnolia” and “Pika Ichi” are.  The main reason I put out this poll was to gauge “Pika Ichi.”  I felt the first two chapters were great, but I was greatly let down by the third chapter and I see a very mediocre and predicable path ahead for the series.  My mentality always seeks what’s optimum, so … Continue reading Favorite New Series Poll Results and "Pika Ichi"

Pika Ichi Chapter 3

K3

Here’s “Pika Ichi” chapter 3. Hopefully, this series is not settling into a pattern. Hopefully, things will get shaken up a bit in chapter 4. I would like to see some deep meaning to Dougen’s actions other than he’s just mean and controlling. Question to you all: Is the girl at the end sincere or a “honey trap?” Links to “Pika Ichi” chapter 3 (Zip) (PDF) Next up is “Akagami no Shirayukihime” chapter 21 followed by the first chapter of “Zoo: Kemono Kingdom.”  Aria 12 is on order and should be arriving in my hot little hands on November 1.  … Continue reading Pika Ichi Chapter 3

Orange Chocolate Chapter 17

K3

The Ouran raw delay gave me time to finish “Orange Chocolate” chapter 17. Looking forward, it seems that the whole body-swapping gimmick has been dropped  or forgotten.  We’ll have to see where this goes, but it seems after the next two chapters, “Orange Chocolate” degenerates into a typical high school comedy romance complete with a pointless love-triangle and what appears to a sports festival starting in chapter 21 (???)– UGH-WTH!!!.  This is truly disappointing to me and stinks of the mangaka losing control of the story :(.  Hopefully, this is an indication that things are wrapping up soon before the … Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chapter 17
