"Ore to Atashi no Kareshisama" Chapter 4

We are slowly working our way through this series. It’s going slow because the redraws are insane. Hopefully we’ll be able to finish this series over the summer when the redraw artists are on summer vacation.  Let’s give a big thanks to Aoi Kuma for doing some of the tough redraws in this chapter. This is also her debut as a member of Omari’s Sister. In this chapter we begin to dive into Hayate’s sister complex.  Actually, I think Hayate’s feelings for Chouko are cute and completely normal and innocent for close twins. I wouldn’t call it a sister complex … Continue reading "Ore to Atashi no Kareshisama" Chapter 4

"Pochamani" Chapter 6

AUGH!!! The release date for “Pochamani” Volume 2 has been updated to June 20th on AmazonJP. So no Chapter 7 until the end of June. Sorry everyone :/.————————————— First I’d like to announce some good news! Even though it’s not listed on Hakusensha’s website, “Pochamani” Volume 2 is listed for release on May 20th on Amazon JP! This means chapter 7 will come out toward the end of May, and we will not have to find a substitute! I’m so relieved!  I know folks out there are impatient, but chapter 7 is very important, and it would have sucked to … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 6

"Magnolia" Chapter 29

This chapter is the prelude to the next arc in “Magnolia”.  I think I now understand that this series is built on a string of social functions. In that way this series feels very Victorian. I’m actually a sucker for stories like this. I love party intrigue and “action” that takes place in the form of clever conversation. I’m pretty excited about this arc because it looks like the Black Twins will be heavily involved. I really like them and it looks like Naked Ape is going to play with their gender confusion. It’s delicious and dangerous. I’m really worried … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 29

Another "Furou Kyoudai" Extra Story

This is the extra story that appeared in Hana to Yume magazine and in the “Unknown” series compilation. Again… the potential for expanding the series beyond 5 chapters is shown.  I really, really, wish this series were longer. Kyouko and Daisuke and their relationship is so interesting. *Sniffle* And with this we wrap up the “Furou Kyoudai” project! Again, thanks to everyone who worked on the series.  Great job! On to the release!Links to “Furou Kyoudai” Extra Story: (LQZip) Next up will be Magnolia chapter 29. Look for it to release tomorrow! Continue reading Another "Furou Kyoudai" Extra Story

"Chibikko Furou Kyoudai" — Furou Kyoudai Omake

This is the extra story from the “Furou Kyoudai” compilation. The other extra story is in “Unknown”.  This one is a story from the twins’ childhood.  Again, this shows the potential of expanding the story.  After the main story, there are some messages from the mangaka and a couple of one-page extra comics.  Hopefully we will be able to release the second extra story this week.  Anyhow, onto the release!Links to “Chibikko Furou Kyoudai”: (LQZip) (PDF) Next up!  “Magnolia” Chapter 29 and “Pochamani” Chapter 6 are currently being worked on. They could both be release this week. Continue reading "Chibikko Furou Kyoudai" — Furou Kyoudai Omake

"Furou Kyoudai" Chapter 5 (End)

At last, the final chapter of “Furou Kyoudai”! This wraps up the arc started in chapter 4. As usual with these one volume series, I feel like this first volume was a prelude to a longer story.  I wish this series could have been extended to see what would have happened to the twins if one or both of them fell in love. Regardless, it was a sweet short series and I enjoyed it. Let’s give a big thanks to Kotomi and Jade for translating the series, Kumiko for working redraw miracles on the series and soon-to-be-released extra stories, Kuro … Continue reading "Furou Kyoudai" Chapter 5 (End)

"Furou Kyoudai" Chapter 4

Here we are at chapter 4. These last two chapters have a story arc. This chapter makes me think that this series could have continued further than 5 chapters. It’s kind disappointing when you consider the potential of the Furou twins and their predicament. I imagine some of the potential story material was used for the series after this one called “Unknown”. And now onto the release!Links to “Furou Kyoudai” Chapter 4: (Zip) (PDF) Next up will be chapter 5 tomorrow. Continue reading "Furou Kyoudai" Chapter 4
