Magnolia Chapter 5

K3

One agonizing wait is over only to begin another.  The mental well being of a Magnolia fan is never good.  Hahaha!  We finally get the answer to how Ayato’s Dad reacts to Ayato dressed as a woman.  The reaction, in general, is as I expected, but I didn’t anticipate the extent of the reaction.  Needless to say, I was quite pleased by the whole scene.  Thank you Naked Ape for exceeding my expectations! Links to Magnolia Chp 5:  (Zip) (PDF) I made a small update to “Magnolia” chapter 2 that has some impact to the story.  I think there was … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 5

Junketsu + Kareshi Chp 5

K3

Here is “Junketsu + Kareshi” Chapter 5!  The cliffhanger from chapter 4 is resolved very unexpectedly, and now it makes me wonder what direction this story is taking.  I like that I was surprised in this manner, though, because what happened took courage to do.  It’s definitely not cliched :). Links to “Junketsu + Kareshi” Chapter 5: (Zip) (PDF) — Retired On the matter of Aki — I feel bad that no matter how hard he tries, hypnotism does not work on Kana.  That said though, Aki really is quite possessive and generally sinister.  But the end of the chapter … Continue reading Junketsu + Kareshi Chp 5

One-Shot: "Furou Kyoudai" The Long Version

K3

Phew! We managed to get this done before Thanksgiving madness goes full-swing!  Anyhow, here is the long version of Furou Kyoudai!  The story is the same as short version, however, there’s more detail and character development.  I really enjoy this sibling pair and I hope Hakusensha allows Shiwasu-sensei to turn this into a series. Links to the long version of “Furou Kyoudai”: (Zip) (PDF) There is a 40-page follow on “Furou Kyoudai” one-shot.  We will try to release it early in the new year. Next up is J+K and Magnolia.   December will be nuts because of the holidays and vacation … Continue reading One-Shot: "Furou Kyoudai" The Long Version

Pika Ichi Chapter 4 — Love, Hate, and General Frustration…

K3

Here is “Pika Ichi” chapter 4.  I continue to like the main characters, Tarou and Hanako, and the side characters; Manaka, Dr. Murase, and Ibuki (introduced in this chapter), but the general story suffers from poor execution.  I was ready to throw up my hands and quit the series after about 10-pages into translating this chapter, until after banging my head on my desk a few times and then breaking into hysterical laughter, it all became clear.  I’m taking the bullying aspect of this story way too seriously and I’m probably ultra-sensitive because at the time I started the translation, … Continue reading Pika Ichi Chapter 4 — Love, Hate, and General Frustration…

Ouran Special Short Story and Commemoration

K3

The Ouran Commemoration in Lala Special issue 12/2010 contains a lot of stuff.  I stuck to the stuff that was most interesting to me and took into consideration what might appear in Volume 18 when it’s finally released in English.  Five chapters were selected as key chapters to re-read.  They are chapters 4, 20, 36, 52, and 80.  These key chapters were reprinted and took up the bulk of the commemoration.  Interspersed between the chapter re-prints were interviews and Ouran trivia.  I imagine most of this stuff will appear when Volume 18 is finally released in English from Viz, plus, … Continue reading Ouran Special Short Story and Commemoration

"Seirei Produce" Chapter 6

K3

Hopefully this isn’t the last of “Seirei Produce.”  Anyhow, in this chapter, Amane continues to “rock” the school girl uniform.  You have to admire his unwavering confidence.  Plus, there’s more of the handsome Ookami the Blue. Links to “Seirei Produce” chapter 6:  (Zip) (PDF) I’ll keep my eyes open for any more news on the continuation of “Seirei Produce” and I’ll update the status as soon as it changes. Next up is the short Ouran omake from the latest issue of Lala Special.  After that will be either “Pika Ichi” chapter 4 or the long version of “Furou Kyoudai.” Continue reading "Seirei Produce" Chapter 6
