Fushigi no Maria-kun Chp 3

Tonight was anime night and I was wasn’t sure whether I was going to be able to post this tonight at all, so I did a quick post earlier.  Now I have time to write a full post. This is the third chapter for “Fushigi no Maria-kun” and this time we get to see matters from Maria’s perspective.  My gosh is Maria sweet and huggable!  I liked translating this chapter a lot.  Maria’s inner monologues are beautifully written in Japanese.  I hope I was able to translate some of that beauty into English.  Shiina Dai never ceases to amaze me … Continue reading Fushigi no Maria-kun Chp 3

"Yukarism" Chapter 8

First of all, I would like to acknowledge the effort the team of Omari’s Sister translators put into page 6.  There was a lot of :/, but after a couple of days of e-mail exchanges, I think we got a decent translation.———————-It’s been a while since we’ve had a chapter of “Yukarism”.  Hopefully, this chapter is worth the wait and hopefully the way the chapter ends will help you understand why I held onto it until now.  In this chapter we, along with Yukari, learn a lot about Mahoro.  We also start getting glimpses of what happened between Yuumurasaki, Takamura, … Continue reading "Yukarism" Chapter 8

"Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 26

At last we come to the end of the Tanburn arc.  I’m kinda surprised this chapter didn’t begin with some color pages.  Oh well, this is still nice.Anyhow…a lot of loose ends are tied up in this chapter.  We finally learn who Shirayuki really is and why Kadzuki kidnapped her.  I kinda wish that there was more to the pirate and the Mountain Lion grudge and more to the pirate’s boss than she’s an angry and violent woman.  I wanted there to be some history other than tit for tat.  But…alas, this is not a story about pirates and vigilantes … Continue reading "Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 26

"Magnolia" Chapter 15

 *Runs forward* What a nice title page!  This page makes me want to have a Magnolia calendar for 2012.  That would be soooooo nice.Anyhow…and now this announcement.  Magnolia volume 3 will come out on December 7th and there will be two versions.  One version is the book alone and the other version will include a drama CD along with the book.  I don’t know whether I will be getting the drama CD.  To be honest, don’t really understand the point of drama CDs.  I’d rather have a calendar. CALENDAR!!!  Hear my pleas Naked Ape.  CALENDAR!!! All righty!  Now onto the … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 15

"Hana Kimi" After Stories Chp 4 — Sano and Mizuki

Here is the final “Hana Kimi” After Story and it features Sano, Mizuki, and Shin.  This short takes place directly after Sekime’s wedding.  I think that was one of the first special one-shots after the end of the series.  If you recall in that special chapter, Sano proposed to Mizuki in a round about fashion.  I was hoping for a wedding, but what happens here is satisfying enough.  We get resolution on Shin’s feelings toward Mizuki, which is something I wasn’t expecting.  Actually, the Shin angle seems to be the focus of the one-shot.  Anyhow, Shin is adorable, so all … Continue reading "Hana Kimi" After Stories Chp 4 — Sano and Mizuki

Fushigi no Maria-kun Chapter 2

Once again, “Fushigi no Maria-kun” proves to be our most difficult series to typeset.  Hopefully we caught all of the errors.  Anyhow…Maria and Toko continue on with their evolving relationship.  I really like how this chapter shows us the weirdness that happens when a childhood friendship starts to blossom into something more.  I like how the vampirism isn’t the focus of the story, but rather the backdrop.  I also like how the story is staying focused on Toko and Maria.  I must admit that I love this kind of innocent sweetness. Onto the links!  Links to “Fushigi no Maria-kun” Chapter … Continue reading Fushigi no Maria-kun Chapter 2
