"Ouran High School Host Club" August 2011 Special Chapter

This special chapter isn’t what I expected from the preview teaser, but it does fit in perfectly with our “Spooky One-shots” Fall theme.  This little ghost story is a nice transition from summer to fall, so all is forgiven, though, I really wanted TamaxHaru happy married love-love short.  Can you imagine how “stoopid” a pregnant Haruhi chapter could be?  You’d have craziness from Tamaki, Renka, and nutty Tamaki’s Dad to deal with on that.  Anyhow…on to the links:Links to the “Ouran High School Host Club” August Special Chapter:  (Zip) (PDF) Retired. Next up!  Next up are the two latest “Hana … Continue reading "Ouran High School Host Club" August 2011 Special Chapter

"Magnolia" Chapter 14

It’s been such a long day!  At least I was productive, though,  feel like I’m dragging my sorry butt over the finish line and directly into bed.  I was sooooo hoping that this chapter would be longer than 30 pages, but, alas, “Magnolia” chapters keep getting shorter and shorter T_T.  This time there are only 23 pages and two of those pages are a title spread and one is repeat from chapter 13.  I guess the color pages took a long time to paint???  Okay, I’ll admit the color pages are lovely and I am grateful for them. Anyhow…there’s been … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 14

"Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 25

At last!  I’m so sorry for the delay!  As you know things happens and plans fall through.  Anyhow, we got it done and chapter 26 is well on it’s way to getting done.  I don’t know what’s going to happen when AnS moves to Lala magazine.  I suspect chapter 27 will be printed with high quality and then after that the image quality will be inconsistent and we’ll have the same problem that we have with “The Ghost Apartment Manager”.  If the print quality is really poor, then we will have no choice but to wait for the tankoubon.  We’ve … Continue reading "Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 25

"Akagami no Shirayukihime" Transfer Cancelled and Announcements

“Akagami no Shirayukihime” is returning to Omari’s Sister.  The transfer to The Zero Alliance fell through and we have a translator and typesetter for the series, so we can continue it.  It’s not clear whether we will be releasing along side the Lala magazine releases.  It depends on the print quality of the chapters in the magazine.  If it’s really bad, then we will wait for the tankoubon.  Hopefully, this series will not go on indefinitely. Anyhow…as a consequence, though, it will impact our schedule on some other series.  Considering the successful debut of “Fushigi no Maria-kun”, I’m hesitant to … Continue reading "Akagami no Shirayukihime" Transfer Cancelled and Announcements

Series Debut: "Fushigi no Maria-kun" Chp 1

  At last!  Phew!  Getting this first chapter together was quite a struggle!  Every page had at lease one crazy redraw, so let’s give praise and thanks to Silver Lunar, Ichigo Stars, and Kumiko for working so hard to get this release done!  Here’s a quick summary from the inner flap: “Ordinary high school girl, Nanami Tokuko’s childhood friend, Abe Maria, is the world’s last pureblood vampire!!  For 10 years,Tokuko has been encouraging him to become a part of humansociety, and since then, Maria has come to love humans. As such,Tokuko happily watches over Maria.  This couple’s story isthe world’s … Continue reading Series Debut: "Fushigi no Maria-kun" Chp 1

Retiring "Junketsu + Kareshi"

Update:  “Barajou no Kisu” has just been added to JManga’s directory. Link Aya Shouto has written on her blog that she thinks her works could get licensed and published in English if all overseas scanlation stops.  It is never my intention to harm the original author, so per Aya Shouto’s wishes, I will remove “Junketsu + Kareshi” from this blog. Continue reading Retiring "Junketsu + Kareshi"

Fushigi no Maria-Kun Preview!

Here’s a preview of our newest series, “Fushigi no Maria-kun”!  This is a 9 chapter series by Shiina Dai, the same artist who brought us “World End Garden“, which is my favorite one-shot of all time!  Like “World End Garden” is series has a good range of emotions (though it doesn’t reach the gloomy depths of WEG) and a richly complex relationship between to the two main characters.  I’m really looking forward to releasing the first chapter.  So, to get you ready for what’s in store, here’s a preview of the first chapter! (Please forgive any errors you may find.  … Continue reading Fushigi no Maria-Kun Preview!
