Hugo Poll

K3

Love him or hate him, Hugo is an interesting character.  Is he Ayato’s friend, enemy, or both?  Seriously, what IS his deal?  Personally, I think he’s there on a specific mission, but I don’t think things are going as planned — though, I admit I have no idea what his mission is.  I think Hugo is getting a little side-track because, regardless of the Magnolia smell, he likes Ayato. I look forward to the development of Hugo’s character.  Will someone eventually take him down a couple of notches?  Will Ayato eventually wrap him around his/her finger?  Or will he be … Continue reading Hugo Poll

"Magnolia" Chp 18

K3

First if of all, I must say Naked Ape does some of the loveliest cover and title page art out there.  I’m always excited when they have color pages.  I really wish they would release a Magnolia calendar.  I really like the colors on this illustration.  The composition really brings out the green of Ayato’s eyes.We continue with the tea party in this chapter.  A warning to Hugo haters:  you are going to want to put your fist through your monitor before the end of this chapter.  Hugo is especially dog-like…well, more like a male slut.  He’s a terrible guy … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chp 18

New Series: "Ojousama no Untenshu" ("The Young Lady’s Chauffeur") Chapter 1

K3

At long last, we get started on this series.  Again, this is another casualty of “Kuro Lala” and “Shiro Lala”.  Hopefully, though, now that we are started, we can put out a chapter every month or two.  This is another series with CRAZY redraws, so I can’t guarantee monthly releases, but we’ll do our best.  We are doing this series in conjunction with Heart Crusade.  Heart Crusade will be helping out with some of horrendous redraws.And now onto the series:  This first chapter was very compelling to me and I want to see more of this couple as soon as … Continue reading New Series: "Ojousama no Untenshu" ("The Young Lady’s Chauffeur") Chapter 1

"Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama" Chapter 1

K3

We finally get this series started.  Phew! There were a lot of complicated redraws.  Thanks to Ichi and Kumiko for the great redraw work and thanks to Suzume for cleaning. This series turns out to be a lot sweeter than I anticipated.  I’m happy about that because I always like stories with some underlying heart.  In this chapter we get some good incite into the twins’ mind.  Chouko is a typical shallow female high school student and Hayate is her wiser over-protective brother. Peeking at the two chapters that are currently out, this is really a story about friendship, perhaps … Continue reading "Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama" Chapter 1

"Fushigi no Maria-kun" Chapter 4

K3

First of all, and this has nothing to do with “Fushigi no Maria-kun”, there’s a great Taiwanese live action version of “Skip Beat” in the middle of its run.  It’s up to episode 4.  If you aren’t watching it, go watch it!  It can be found in “the usual places” (don’t ask, because I’m not telling). And now onto “Fushigi no Maria-kun”! It’s been a while since we’ve had a chapter!  As I’ve written before, this series is a challenge in every way.  I’ll like to thank Noir and Ichi for doing a wonderful cleaning and redrawing this chapter.  They … Continue reading "Fushigi no Maria-kun" Chapter 4

"Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 30

K3

First of all, please do not upload this to any of the manga aggregation websites.  There is no need to since it’s readily available here and I think you all know I don’t like manga aggregation websites. Secondly, for those who hate the water-color look, I’m sorry.  I didn’t have much of a choice but to edit the images this way because the the data was incomplete in the raw.  This is a way to “hide” the poor quality of the raw.  The last page is particular bad.  The data just wasn’t there for me to pull the trick off … Continue reading "Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 30

"Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 29

K3

Before we get to the nitty-gritty of releasing this chapter, there are a few things that I feel I need to say. We are not dropping “Akagami no Shirayukihime”.  The past 3 chapters have been quite good and I personally want to go forward. If a group capable of maintaining the image quality and translation quality and the time dedication approaches us about taking over the series, we will gladly transfer the series so we can work on other things. I will make a greater effort to refrain from knee-jerk reactions in the future. The image quality for chapter 29 … Continue reading "Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 29
