Announcement: "Pochamani" Volume 2 Tankoubon Coming out After March

Much to my disappointment, “Pochamani” Volume 2 isn’t coming out in March, which moves the soonest it could come out to April. We have enough tankoubon chapters to last until March with monthly releases.  I do have the magazine versions, but Hana to Yume print quality ranges from pure crap to medium.  I don’t want to compromise the quality we’ve got from the tankoubon, but at the same time, I know there are some of you who really don’t give a crap about the translation or image quality and just want anything now, first, (because you’re DYING).  Now that I’ve … Continue reading Announcement: "Pochamani" Volume 2 Tankoubon Coming out After March

"Pochamani" Chapter 1 – 3 (with Zip option)

Update 8/24/2013:  Magnificent Rangers changed to Gluttony Rangers in Chapter 2. First of all, I am providing zips for your convenience so you can make fanart and what not. Please DO NOT upload the zips to manga aggregators. We don’t approve of manga aggregators, and therefore do not want our work posted to them. Second: we need winter banners! (Link to specs) Okay, onto the release. I’m going to post the links first and then comment on chapter 2. I suggest you read my thoughts on chapter 2 after reading the chapter. Links to Pochamani Chapters: Chapter 1 (Zip) (PDF) … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 1 – 3 (with Zip option)

"Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama" Chapter 2

It’s been a while. This is one of the series we’ve had on hold because I made the group bite off more than it could swallow. This wasn’t fair to my group and this wasn’t fair to the readers for this blog. I’m sorry about that. I still can’t promise regular releases of this series because we don’t have enough redraw support at the moment :(. If you can do complicated redraws and want to see this series on a more regular schedule, please contact me at omarissister@gmail.com to volunteer. Moving on, this series is coming to an end at … Continue reading "Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama" Chapter 2

"Pochamani" Chapter 1

First of all, things are about to get a little confusing.  Chapter 1 in the magazine, which we’ve already translated, is chapter 3 in the tankoubon.  I knew about this chapter (chapter 1 in the tankoubon) because it was the initial oneshot, but I wasn’t aware of the second oneshot, which is chapter 2 in the tankoubon.  Sigh…. Anyhow, there are a few extra page in chapter 3 in the tankoubon, which was chapter 1 in the magazine, therefore we will re-release the chapter along with chapter 2, so you can get the extra couple of pages. Are you confused … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 1

Akagami no Shirayukihime has been Transferred to Fallen Syndicate

Well, that was quick! Yes, we are transferring “Akagami no Shirayukihime” to our friends at Fallen Syndicate.  The transfer is immediate, meaning they will handle the release of chapters 35 – 37 using our translations and high quality raws.  After that, we will have no further involvement in the series. As for Akidzuki Sorata’s future one-shots, they will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. We do know there are other groups who like Sorata-sensei’s stories more than we do, so I think we would wait and see if those group translate the one-shots before taking any one of them on. … Continue reading Akagami no Shirayukihime has been Transferred to Fallen Syndicate

It’s just that I want to do right by Akiduki Sorata’s gorgeous artwork. Continue reading Akagami no Shirayuki Volume 8 Release Date Announced

Series Debut: "Pochama ni" Chapter 1 (or 3) by Kaname Hirama

First of all I would like to thank Amrai for helping me fine-tune the translation :). And next I would like to thank “Eagle-Eyes” Kaito for some amazing QC work!  Holy crap! She’s thorough! This series caught me eye immediately, and after doing a quick read through, I realized I’d come across a real gem.  All three chapters and the one-shot have been released in Japan over the past 2 months, so I’ll do my best to finish this series quickly. That said, I have read through the other chapters, and I still feel this series is quite special and … Continue reading Series Debut: "Pochama ni" Chapter 1 (or 3) by Kaname Hirama

We are Going on Hiatus with "Akagami no Shirayukihime"

Update:  For now it appears that Mangafox is cooperating with our takedown request.  We’ll see how long that lasts….———————————- I’m sorry, but the frustration level is too high right now for AnS.  Since the series moved to Lala magazine, the chapter image quality has ranged from crap to beautiful.  Chapter 35 is the worst looking chapter EVER and I can’t do anything “magical” to fix it, so it would hurt my pride to release crap because it does no justice to the original work and our group.  Also, I’m tired of Mangafox and the stupid people who think they are … Continue reading We are Going on Hiatus with "Akagami no Shirayukihime"
