Lala DX 3 Poll Results

K3

The Lala DX 3 Poll is over and the overwhelming winner in “Akagami no Shirayukihime” chapter 18.  I’m actually very surprised by the poll results.  I thought for sure Ouran would win since it’s the most popular series on this blog.  However, the demand for Ouran came in last and so I’m happy to put that on the back burner because I’m feeling a little burnt out on Ouran.  Between ANS and ZHD, if ZHD continues from where it left off, I will translate that first.  If ZHD is a filler chapter, then ANS will be first.  As for the … Continue reading Lala DX 3 Poll Results

"Orange Chocolate" is a GO!!!

K3

I thought from the first chapter that “Orange Chocolate” was going to be a well done, but cliched series, until I read ahead to chapters 2 and 3.  Well, folks, there’s a BIG twist that comes at the beginning of the second chapter.  From what I’ve read so far of this series, it has a good mix of humor, drama, and heart — lots of heart actually.  This is a genuine “feel good” series, with gorgeous drawings and I’m so happy to be able to bring it into English :). I expect the first chapter be be released on Friday … Continue reading "Orange Chocolate" is a GO!!!
