Orange Chocolate Chapters 18 and 19

First of all, I want to apologize to all the “Orange Chocolate” fans for the long delay since chapter 17.  From now on, there will be at least one chapter of “Orange Chocolate” released each month (unless the we’re caught up and the mangaka takes a break).  And now here are chapters 18 and 19 of Orange Chocolate.  Finally, we’re getting back to the main story.  I think chapter 19 is a beautiful little gem of a chapter and probably my favorite chapter of this series so far.

Teaser: Orange Chocolate Chapters 18 and 19

Here’s a little teaser to get you ready for the double release of “Orange Chocolate” chapters 18 and 19.  I decided to do a double release because these two chapters go together well and it would be cruel to keep you all waiting in between chapters.  Also, I didn’t want to break the emotional momentum that builds in chapter 18. We’re aiming for the release of both chapters on the 10th and it looks like we are going to be able to deliver :). Continue reading Teaser: Orange Chocolate Chapters 18 and 19

Magnolia Chapter 4

I weep no more for the ending of “Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen” because another has come to walk in Johanne’s shoes.  Bless you Naked Ape for giving us Yugo!

Chapter 5 can’t come soon enough!  AUGH!!!  I’m suffering!!!!  I hope we find out who Lily’s guy is soon.  Is he royalty, military, a gigolo or some random party crasher? Next up is a double release of “Orange Chocolate” because chapter 18 and … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 4

Happy Halloween: Junketsu + Kareshi Chapter 4

I can’t believe we finished this before the end of Halloween night!  It was such a joy translating and editing the images in the chapter :).  I love handling beautiful drawings!  I couldn’t redraw the intro color 2-page spread, but I did redraw/extrapolate the gap between the pages of a very important scene.  All hail the mighty PhotoShop Pen Tool! Anyhow Happy Halloween! Links to “Junketsu + Kareshi” chapter 4 (Zip) (PDF) — Retired I don’t know what to make of the ending, but I’m guessing this is the end of the “prologue” and now we get into the meat … Continue reading Happy Halloween: Junketsu + Kareshi Chapter 4

Aria 12

I have Aria 12! The good news is that “Pika Ichi” diverges from the pattern I was detecting and quite possibly could be a short series. We will add it back to this month’s schedule. We will be doing: Junketsu + Vampire Chp 4 (Kana biting and a werewolf! W00t!!!) Magnolia Chp 4 (Dance Ayato, dance!) Pika Ichi Chp 4 (Friends!) One-Shot:  “Akuma Yashiki” (Horror Comedy Fun!)

New Series: "Kemono Kingdom: Zoo"

When I first saw this, I thought it was a one-shot like “Hadaka Muffler.”  But, unexpectedly, at the end, there was a つづく and a message that the next chapter would appear in the January the issue of Aria.  So…I guess as long as the series isn’t monthly and sticks to 24-pages per chapter, we can keep up with it. I imagine this is going to be a polarizing series.  There are going to be some people who totally get and love the nonsense, and then there are going to be people who hate how stupid this series it.  Haters, … Continue reading New Series: "Kemono Kingdom: Zoo"
