"Kimi ni XOXO" Chapter 4

“Kimi ni XOXO” is back for the final two chapters.  I’m sorry it’s been a while since a release, but this chapter was really hard to clean (poor quality raw) and had a lot of redrawing to do.  Because of the difficulty I want to acknowledge the contributions of Chiresakura who helped clean and Ichigo Stars who did all of the difficult redraws.  Without them, this chapter wouldn’t have come out nearly as well as it did. Links to “Kimi ni XOXO” chapter 4:  (Zip) (PDF) I wanted to release chapter 5 right after chapter 4, but again because of … Continue reading "Kimi ni XOXO" Chapter 4

"Lily" in Itan Magazine!

Update!:  Lily Themed desktop wallpaper set!  (Link — the second button is the download button) ——————— Our prayers have been answered!  It’s a Lily themed Magnolia companion series of extra stories!  Yes! It’s “Magnolia” from Lily’s perspective!  I will release this opening chapter with Magnolia Chp 6!  Unfortunately, Itan is only published every three months and the next one-shot will be in Itan 5, which means the next chapter of “Lily” won’t be out until the end of June. Continue reading "Lily" in Itan Magazine!

"In Jack Out" Update

“In Jack Out” will be presented in two parts in Betsuhana 2 and 3.  Considering that February is shot, I think I will save “In Jack Out” until both parts are released in Japanese.  I’m also on the fence about doing the project.  The first part of the story doesn’t catch my eye.  I think I will know after the second half whether I want to do the mini-series.  If I  decide to do the series, then I will present the entire 92-page story after February.  This means that Orange Chocolate goes back on the schedule and we will check-up … Continue reading "In Jack Out" Update

Kemono Kingdom: Zoo Chp 2

Here is more furry fun from Mochi-sensei!  In this chapter we are introduced to more animal friends, all of which are adorable. Links to “Kemono Kingdom: Zoo” Chapter 2: (Zip) (PDF) I has been confirmed that “Zoo” is a bi-monthly series, so the next chapter will not come out until the end of January.  Unfortunately, because of jury duty, chapter 3 probably won’t be out until March :(. Next up is “Kimi ni XOXO” chapter 4.  The series is finally coming off of hiatus.  Some twists happen in the new chapter and Fujita is drawn to look his age.  I … Continue reading Kemono Kingdom: Zoo Chp 2

Pika Ichi Chapter 5 — A lot Better than chapters 3 and 4

Pika Ichi is always such a long slog!  Fortunately, this chapter is much better than chapters 3 and 4, except for idol chick.  She really needs to go away.  Anyhow… in this chapter Dougen finally enters the scene and he may be as some of you expected.  I think most of us are hoping for a Tarou-Hanako-Dougen love triangle.  That could be interesting, but Tarou’s heart is fragile and I would hate to see him suffer.Links to Piki Ichi chapter 5: (Zip) (PDF) Spoilers Ahead!!!The question for me after reading this chapter is what to do with Ibuki.  In a … Continue reading Pika Ichi Chapter 5 — A lot Better than chapters 3 and 4

Akagami no Shirayukihime Chapter 22

Here is “Akagami no Shirayukihime” chapter 22.  I get the impression after reading this chapter that Shirayuki is in no real danger, but rather the folks after Shirayuki are probably Raji’s adoring siblings.  I hope I’m wrong, because if the siblings then I’m going to be SUPER PEEVED.  Anyhow…it would make sense as far a Izana not being all that concerned about the people after Shirayuki.  He’s probably laughing his ass off in the castle as Zen gallops off to the rescue Shirayuki from a 10-year old. Anyhow, I noticed while cleaning this that the artwork has a more of … Continue reading Akagami no Shirayukihime Chapter 22

Orange Chocolate Chapter 20

Finally, we come to the end of the whole “Alice in Wonderland” photo shoot arc, but unfortunately, this isn’t the end of the need for Hal.  Hal seriously bugs me, but I guess that’s his duty.  Most of this chapter is fan service with a nice pair of surprises from Ritsu.  Chiro, though, finally asks a rather important question — why does Ritsu have to be an onnagata?  Yeah, it’s traditional, but Ritsu actually seems to enjoy it. Links to “Orange Chocolate” Chapter 20:  (Zip) (PDF) The next four chapters of Orange Chocolate is an arc about the school’s sport’s … Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chapter 20
