"Seigi no Mikata!" Chapter 4 (End)

It’s time to say “goodbye” to our Cherry Blossom Hero.  Yep, this is the last chapter of “Seigi no Mikata!”  I wonder if we’ll see more of Mikata and S in the future.  The ending felt more like the end of a pre-quel than the end of a series.  Oh well, still it was a fun series to translate.  I won’t miss the typesetting though. In this final chapter we are introduced to some of the other heroes in neighboring communities and a mysterious new “hero” shows up.  Heheh…ooh, yeah, it’s beyond corny.  I so wanted Lily to be a … Continue reading "Seigi no Mikata!" Chapter 4 (End)

"Seigi no Mikata!" Chapter 3

Only one more chapter to go! This chapter deals with Kotarou’s family and centers mainly around his youngest brother Takuma. Kotarou’s family is pretty funny and Mitsubachi-sensei did a great job developing each child’s personalities despite the few pages available for this part of the story. I finally figured out what Sakuraiya’s speech is supposed to be.  In the previous two chapters I did a very literal translation because I didn’t know what to make of the speech and I considered the possibility that it could be pure nonsense.  Out of nowhere I remembered having plum trees in my parent’s … Continue reading "Seigi no Mikata!"

We’re Bringing "Servamp" to Omari’s Sister

As you may know we are taking a different tack with “Bakeneko’s Lair.”  As such we are bringing the current series we run there back to Omari’s Sister.  “Bakeneko’s Lair” will continue, but it will truly be targeted at readers older than age 16.  Chapter 3 of “Servamp” is well on its way to being done.  It has just been sent to the typesetter and should be ready for release in 2 to 3 weeks.  Until then, please refresh yourselves or catch-up on the series: “Servamp” chapter 1 “Servamp” chapter 2 Continue reading We’re Bringing "Servamp" to Omari’s Sister

"Ojousama no Untenshu" Chapter 4

Here’s chapter 4 as promised! It’s the older-woman-hits-on-Narutaki chapter we all expected. Get your eye-rolls over with now.  Forget the pretty older lady, what’s entertaining here is Sayaka’s reaction to Narutaki’s and Miss Fumi’s relationship.  Now that this expected chapter is over with, guess what comes next??? Geez, I wonder could Sayaka’s father could have picked out a fiancee for Sayaka. Noooooo, that would never happen. That would be be way too predictable.  Hahaha! As I’ve said before, I don’t mind cliches as long as they are done well (and there’s nicely drawn eye candy…ahem…cough…cough). Oh and some notes for … Continue reading "Ojousama no Untenshu" Chapter 4

"Ojousama no Untenshu" Chp 3

Watery banners are needed for August!!!! (width 1250 px, max height 350 px) I hadn’t realized that it’s been more than 3 months since we last released a chapter of this series. Time does fly! Anyhow, we are accelerating this series. Our goal is to complete the series in September, which means we will be release 2 or 3 chapters per month. In fact, chapter 4 will be released tomorrow! Let’s give thanks to Amrai for her wonderful translation. This series is quite a challenge both in terms of translation and English adaptation. In light of the recently reignited honorific … Continue reading "Ojousama no Untenshu" Chp 3

"Lily" Chapter 4

I have the sinking feeling that this chapter is going to piss a lot of people off. It’s well worn shoujo territory and there are lots of folk who read OS who are opposed to student/teacher relationships, including myself. Unfortunately, this is part of the “Magnolia” story, so I can’t just not translate it. That would be weird. I had to set a lot of my brain aside to accept this chapter. First I had to set aside my hatred for student/teacher relationship fantasies, then I had to set aside my hatred for age gap fantasies, and finally I had … Continue reading "Lily" Chapter 4
