Very Short Manga: "Happiness Lawn" — I Thought "Did I Die?"

K3

This was a special for Silver Lunar who loves her birdies and birds in general!  Since it’s only 4-pages, I’ll just post the images here.  Click on the image to see it larger. This is short comic runs in The Hana to Yume which is published every 3 months. Apparently there are lots of chapters, but this is first time I’ve noticed it. We may translate more chapters depending on the content.  Regardless, Ojou-chan is ADORABLE!!!  And I would love to see more of her adventures. Note:  Katakana pisses me off…I’m not sure whether the intended title is “Happiness Lawn” … Continue reading Very Short Manga: "Happiness Lawn" — I Thought "Did I Die?"

"Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama" Chapter 1

K3

We finally get this series started.  Phew! There were a lot of complicated redraws.  Thanks to Ichi and Kumiko for the great redraw work and thanks to Suzume for cleaning. This series turns out to be a lot sweeter than I anticipated.  I’m happy about that because I always like stories with some underlying heart.  In this chapter we get some good incite into the twins’ mind.  Chouko is a typical shallow female high school student and Hayate is her wiser over-protective brother. Peeking at the two chapters that are currently out, this is really a story about friendship, perhaps … Continue reading "Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama" Chapter 1

Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama Chp 0

K3

This is surprise confection that showed up in Asuka magazine.  I waited until the first chapter actually came out before committing to give this series and try.  The first chapter is pretty hilarious, so I’m looking forward to starting this series.  This will probably be a series that we will release every other month because it’s got crazy redraws that rival “Fushigi no Maria-kun”.  We will release the first chapter in December. About the title —I’m still working of a proper translation.  Since there are no female/male distinctions in English for the words “I” and “me” there is no direct … Continue reading Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama Chp 0

Pika Ichi Chapter 9

K3

We finally got a translator for “Pika Ichi” so now we can continue the series on a monthly release schedule.  Hooray for Amrai!  Let’s thank her for doing an excellent job on the translation. Let’s see…this is chapter 9…ah…and we begin with the WTH moment of Hanako is Dougen’s arms.  That Dougen is a sly d***…There’s something seriously wrong with that guy’s brain and personally, when dealing with people like him I go by the words of an old song by Poe — “Can’t talk to a psycho like a normal human being”.  If only dear Hanako understood that concept … Continue reading Pika Ichi Chapter 9

"Pika Ichi" Chapter 8

K3

  “Pika Ichi” is back!  In this chapter we start to learn about Dougen’s damaged life and brain.  Of course, his parents are an insane pair and his freedom is restricted.  Dougen is the anti-Tamaki.  Instead of making the best of his situation, he decides to go down the path of destruction.  Personally, I’d like to see him succeed.  But somehow I suspect this is a gonna be a story of redemption.  Anyhow…here are the links: Links to “Pika Ichi” chapter 8: (Zip) (PDF — this time it looks really nice on PCs, viewable on mobiles and tablets) Spoiler Alert!  … Continue reading "Pika Ichi" Chapter 8

"Pika Ichi" Chapter 7

K3

Here is “Pika Ichi” chapter 7.  Things are settling into the mode of examining Dougen’s personality and life situation and starts the anticipated Dougen x Hanako relationship.  This chapter is a little bit shorter than usual (chapter 8 is also a little shorter) which was nice for us in terms of work load.Links to “Pika Ichi” chapter 7:  (Zip) (PDF) Spoiler Alert! Spoilers Ahead! My Thoughts on the Chapter: Hanako is too saintly.  It seems to be a key feature of her personality though.  I’m actually kinda disappointed in this development.  It really disturbs me that Hanako so easily ran … Continue reading "Pika Ichi" Chapter 7

"Pika Ichi" Chapter 6

K3

“Pika Ichi” returns!  I’m glad I took a break from the series.  It allowed me to gain some perspective on the series and to see the next three chapters before deciding to continue the series.  Make no mistake, this series continues to defy logic.  Apparently adults do not exist in this story’s world so it’s basically like “Lord of the Flies”.  By the way, I hated the book “Lord of the Flies”.  For the most part senselessly violent children don’t settle well with me.  Still, I like Tarou, Hanako, and Manaka and I’m curious about Dougen and Misono so I … Continue reading "Pika Ichi" Chapter 6

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

K3

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
