Orange Chocolate Chapter 16

Here is “Orange Chocolate” chapter 16! I want to give a special thanks to our newest proofreader, Holanio. Not much progress is made in this chapter but the second half of the chapter contains some gorgeous artwork. Link to “Orange Chocolate” Chp 16 (Zip) (PDF) Due to the “Ouran High School Host” chapter 82 delay, I will release the “Seirei Produce” volume 1 omake early.  It’s only 8 pages, so it should be ready by tomorrow evening.  It features Gojou and Amane when they were children in heaven. It’s super cute!  Here’s preview: After Ouran, the “Junketsu + Kareshi” and … Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chapter 16

"Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 20

Sorry all, we don’t find out anything about the pretty boy from the boat…however, as a consolation gift, I promise you a nice close up of Izana (*smokin’*).  Anyhow, this chapter appears to be the set-up for the chapter 21 which, according to the previews will be extra long.  It’s too bad we have to wait until October.

Blog Entry #1 Blog Entry #2 (I like the Tarou parody *grinz*) ————————————- Here’s the first chapter of the new series “Pika Ichi” from the new Shoujo manga magazine “Aria.”I like the art work and I like the two main characters and the supporting character, but I don’t know where the story is heading based upon this first chapter.  Therefore, the decision of whether to take on this series will be made after reading the second chapter.  I would like to know what you all think about … Continue reading Pika Ichi Chp 1

Orange Chocolate Chp 15

I thought my eyes were going to melt out of their sockets while editing this.  I caught one of those irritating summer colds that starts with burning eyes.  Tears were streaming down my face as a I chased dots.  This chapter was particularly nasty in terms of the backside bleed through problem…ugh!!!  Here’s a minor translator’s note: Here’s an example of “forest friends” to keep in mind as you get toward the end of this chapter (image used solely for educational purposes!): And now the link — Link to Orange Chocolate Chp 15 This chapter gives us yet a little … Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chp 15

Orange Chocolate Chapter 13

Here is “Orange Chocolate” chapter 13.  Just a note so you’ll be aware as you read this, the narrator changes to Ritsu towards the end of the chapter (pg 37-ish).  It’s hard to convey this in English since English has no male or female version of “I.”  Anyhow, this chapter starts to give us insight into Ritsu thinking and into Chiro’s seemingly surprising confession.  Link: Orange Chocolate Chp 13 (update 5/31/2010 minor correction from Kuma-chan) Kimi no XOXO Update Update 5/31: Things have picked up quite a bit now that the fairy creature appeared.  The sweetness is quickly going away…yippee!!!!  … Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chapter 13
