New Series: "Kisu ni Renzoku — Kneel, and Obey a Kiss" by Yuu Toyota

Let’s get December started! I’ve been waiting for seemingly FOREVER for this series to come out in tankoubon form.  It’s been out as a free online comic for about a year, but the image quality is not what we like for our translations (and I don’t like breaking DRM).  With that in mind, if you must spoil yourself, volume 2 is available in Japanese on the Polaris Comics website (LINK). Updates are never on time, so it’s best to subscribe to the series RSS feed to keep up with the latest chapters.  If you would like to own you own … Continue reading New Series: "Kisu ni Renzoku — Kneel, and Obey a Kiss" by Yuu Toyota

"Kerberos in the Silver Rain" Chapter 2

And now, for a change of pace, we have the next chapter “Kerberos in the Silver Rain”. This chapter has a brief adult moment, but I don’t think it’ll do any permanent damage given what’s shown on US television these days. In this chapter our highly skill commandos head into Forbidden Zone 03 to take on the infiltrators! This is one of the few action mangas that I can follow the action in the drawings. I love the drawing and sound effect style. Page 27 is especially nice :3. A big thanks goes out to Ichigo Stars for beautifully completing … Continue reading "Kerberos in the Silver Rain" Chapter 2

"Nanatsu no Kururi" Chapter 2

Updated 10/3/2013:  Page 10 stitch completed. For those archiving the series, you should re-download. Here is the second chapter of “Nanatsu no Kururi”.  It’s a short, but sweet chapter showcasing more of Sumire’s incredible kindness. I love how he doesn’t judge the subject of this story.  In a way it seems almost like a Biblical New Testament parable. If only people in real life were this lovely. And now onto the release!Links to “Nanatsu no Kururi”: (PDF) (Zip) Next up! I don’t know!  Hee!  Regardless we’re at least 3 days away from being able to release something. Continue reading "Nanatsu no Kururi" Chapter 2

"Pochamani" Chapter 8

Updated 9/6/2013 — Three missing pieces of text and SFX added, but nothing that impacts the story.——————————  Moving along with “Pochamani”, we finally get to meet Tsumugi’s family. Tsumugi’s family is fun and very realistic. Their dinner conversation reminded of how the conversations around my family’s dinner table degrade to TMI territory.  I was laughing hysterically as I was translating, because I couldn’t believe what was being said! This is a nice rest before the next story arch begins.  Personally, the next story arc makes me want to put my fist through my monitor to punch a certain new character. … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 8

New Seinen Series: "Kerberos in the Silver Rain" Chapter 1 by Rira Aikawa (Story) and Berry Star (Illustration)

  First of all, I need to take care of a bit of business.  We are in need of proofreaders/QCer’s. If you are interested, go here for more details (LINK) We also need experienced typesetters (LINK). ————————— This is our first seinen project.  I don’t get Heros magazine, so I found out about this series from Naked Ape’s Twitter feed.  Yes, Rira Aikawa from Naked Ape wrote the story.  Base on this, I bought the first volume and ended up reading that first volume late into the night.  This is a really fun series and I love the two male … Continue reading New Seinen Series: "Kerberos in the Silver Rain" Chapter 1 by Rira Aikawa (Story) and Berry Star (Illustration)

New Josei Series: "Nanatsu no Kururi" by Chika Shiomi

Here’s the long awaited series from Chika Shiomi. We were originally going to release this series on Bakeneko’s Lair, but the violence and sexual content is on par with “Yukarism”, which I think is fine for teenagers. This is an introductory chapter. The story starts in chapter 2. This first story made me cry, so you may want to get a couple of tissues ready. Retranslation Partners:La Noche de Los Caidos — Spanish I hope you enjoy this series.  Please give us some feedback.  We are dipping our toe into josei, but per our style, we will not be doing … Continue reading New Josei Series: "Nanatsu no Kururi" by Chika Shiomi

Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama Chapter 5

This has nothing to do with this manga or Omari’s Sister, but go see “Pacific Rim”. It’s the funnest movie of the summer season IMHO. I’ve been spamming the heck out of everyone on Tumblr with it. Anyhow, go give it some money, because we need more movies like this and less “Transformers” and “Battleship” crap. Okay, back to the manga at hand. I think the release pace of “Ore to Atashi” is going to continue on like this. We’re working on chapter 6 now, but I can’t say with confidence that we’ll release it in August. There are simply … Continue reading Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama Chapter 5
