I have “Pika Ichi” chapter 10 and based on the content, we will resume the series! Chapter 8 has been sent to the cleaners. May is already set, so the resumption of series will happen sometime after May. I will have to look at the schedule and reassess the priority of releases. This is really hard, because there are a lot of one-shots I’m very in love with. We’ll figure it out though. Continue reading Pika Ichi Update!
The “Scarecrow of Oz” compilation book is scheduled to go on sale on June 20th. There’s no listing yet, but since “Furou Kyoudai” came out after, then the compilation should go on sale sometime in July. This means we can start “The Scarecrow of Oz” in July and then “Furou Kyoudai” will start in August. I’m very happy about this! It means we can deliver a high quality version of these short series with out killing ourselves. When the books do come out, I will, of course, post links so you can purchase your own copies :).

First of all, let me encourage you to buy this volume in Japanese, whether you can read it or not (you should have the translation already), in order to directly support Hatori-sensei. Here are some links to online stores: Amazon Japan Yes Asia ($7.99 + $3.99 shipping!) And now onto the good stuff. Like somebody else commented in the teaser post, these extras should give most everyone a satisfying end to the “Ouran High School Host Club” series. I still want more Kyouya…but I’ll live, I suppose. Also…I shouldn’t complain too much since I did get this (as written in … Continue reading Ouran High School Host Club Volume 18 Extras
Here is the next installment of the cute animal civil war! In this chapter of “Kemono Kingdom: Zoo” we meet Prince Panda, King Panda’s son. He, of course, is adorable. A new character “Red Wolf” is also introduced. Like the … Continue reading "Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chp 4
Here is the third installment of “The Ghost Apartment Manager”. In this chapter three new fun characters are introduced and immediately begin to torment poor Sekka. Haha! The apartment is getting more rambunctious ;p. This is also the beginning of the first story arc which revolves around the female character Kiyariko. Links to “The Ghost Apartment Manager” chapter 3: (Zip) (PDF) Spoiler Alert! Spoilers Ahead! My thoughts on the chapter: Turtle Symbolism — an anonymous reader wrote about turtle symbolism in a comment for “Kemono Kingdom: Zoo”. Considering that a turtle character has been introduced in this series, … Continue reading "The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 3
I’ve decided to delay “Furou Kyoudai” and “The Scarecrow of Oz” short series until July to allow for time for the release of compilation of the series and one-shots into a book (Hopefully, the books will come out way before July. If so, we’ll start when the books come out instead of waiting.). The magazine print quality of the short series portion is atrocious and will take a long time to clean and edit (It’s making my eyes burn and tearing up my mousing-wrist — hello carpal tunnel…). Even if we do our best, we could probably only bring the … Continue reading Delaying "Furou Kyoudai" and "The Scarecrow of Oz" Short Series
After much consideration and tracking the series for the past few months, I have decided to drop “Orange Chocolate”. This series started out very strong and then got bogged down with a sports festival arc and then continued down a road that neglected its original premise. It looks like this series has no end in sight and I can’t commit to this series indefinitely. I’m sorry to all the Orange Chocolate fans out there. Hopefully another group will pick up the series and upkeep the quality. Dropping this series, though, will allow us to continue our new series without stress … Continue reading We Are Dropping "Orange Chocolate"
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the smuggiest of them all? I’ll let you be the judge. Is it Hugo or this new guy Shizuka Takamura? Haha, this is so much fun :). Here’s “Yukarism” chapter 4! The plot thickens … Continue reading "Yukarism" Chapter 4
