Update: Thanks to everyone who thoughtfully responded right away. Your love of AnS is clear and I hear it. I think the majority of you understand the difficulty of working with a bad raw and that we as a group don’t want to do mediocre releases if there’s an alternative. So…here’s what we’re going to do: Chapter 28 will be released as scheduled in December In place of releasing a mediocre Chapter 29 in January, we will release the extras from Volume 6. Chapter 29 will be done from the tankoubon as soon as we get it. My hope is … Continue reading Torn About AnS from the Magazine
Huzzah! “Seirei Produce” is back! Oh how I missed the Amane/Fuuta comedy pair. A note on chapters 5 and 6, I had a rare type of brainfart and I only saw the kanjis and discarded the furiganas for the middle brother’s name. Instead of “Ookami the Black/Blue”, he is “Sou the Wolf”. Personally, I like “Ookami the Black”…but that’s not the name the mangaka intended. So it’s “Sou” from now on and I’ve gone back and updated chapters 5 and 6 (hopefully, I’ve caught all instances of it).I also decided to call Fuuta a Fox since the other two brothers … Continue reading "Seirei Produce" Chapter 7
Oh, I almost forgot! “Akagami no Shirayukihime” volume 6 is available in Japanese. Please support Sorata-sensei by purchasing the book even if you don’t read Japanese. Here are some purchasing options: Amazon JPYes AsiaHMV If you are timid, I can facilitate the purchase by piggybacking it onto my own purchases. If you are interested in this option, send me a e-mail via the contact link at the top of this blog. After going back and forth on the matter, I decided that the continuation of “Akagami no Shirayukihime” in Lala magazine should be called chapter 27. I settled on this … Continue reading Akagami no Shirayukihime Chapter 27
“Yukarism” resumes with a beautiful color page. The title says the chapter is 45 pages, but it’s only 37 pages. I guess the chapter is shorter than what was expected or negotiated. It’s kinda surprising considering that the series was on hiatus for three months. Oh, well… This chapter has a sad flashback to Yuumurasaki’s and Kazuma’s childhood and ends with a launch pad into what takes place in the past in Edo between Yuumurasaki, Kazuma, and Takamura. There’s an interesting little historical nugget added to the story (be sure to read the translator notes). I wonder if this was … Continue reading Yukarism Chapter 9
“Magnolia” chapters continue to get shorter. Part of me wishes Naked Ape would go on hiatus with “Magnolia” so they can concentrate on finishing “Dolls”. The way things are now really isn’t fair to “Magnolia”. I don’t like the trickling pace and I don’t like seeing and sometimes having to fix the many little errors in the artwork that I imagine are due to being rushed. That said, this chapter is pretty entertaining and I like Ayato’s casual outfit. In the background, though, I think events are starting to get repetitive with respect to Hugo popping up wherever Ayato … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 16
This is surprise confection that showed up in Asuka magazine. I waited until the first chapter actually came out before committing to give this series and try. The first chapter is pretty hilarious, so I’m looking forward to starting this series. This will probably be a series that we will release every other month because it’s got crazy redraws that rival “Fushigi no Maria-kun”. We will release the first chapter in December. About the title —I’m still working of a proper translation. Since there are no female/male distinctions in English for the words “I” and “me” there is no direct … Continue reading Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama Chp 0
We are officially dropping “Pika Ichi”. Hopefully another group will pick it up quickly. As of now I’m not interested in the rest of the story and there are other series that the group and I would like to work on. I’m sorry to all the fans out there, but I promise we will bring you a new and fabulous series from Asuka that will make you forgive us 1000 times over. Continue reading We are Officially Dropping "Pika Ichi"
