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…

Pika Ichi Chapter 3

K3

Here’s “Pika Ichi” chapter 3. Hopefully, this series is not settling into a pattern. Hopefully, things will get shaken up a bit in chapter 4. I would like to see some deep meaning to Dougen’s actions other than he’s just mean and controlling. Question to you all: Is the girl at the end sincere or a “honey trap?” Links to “Pika Ichi” chapter 3 (Zip) (PDF) Next up is “Akagami no Shirayukihime” chapter 21 followed by the first chapter of “Zoo: Kemono Kingdom.”  Aria 12 is on order and should be arriving in my hot little hands on November 1.  … Continue reading Pika Ichi Chapter 3

Update 8/9/2010: Check out Sapphire Pyro’s excellent write-up on Pika Ichi at Hyper-Parfait! Blog Entry #1 Blog Entry #2 (I like the Tarou parody *grinz*) ————————————- Here’s the first chapter of the new series “Pika Ichi” from the new Shoujo manga magazine “Aria.”I like the art work and I like the two main characters and the supporting character, but I don’t know where the story is heading based upon this first chapter.  Therefore, the decision of whether to take on this series will be made after reading the second chapter.  I would like to know what you all think about … Continue reading Pika Ichi Chp 1

Orange Chocolate Chapter 8

K3

Thanks to everyone who volunteered to help proofread!  I now have a nice pool of proofreaders, so, hopefully, I won’t have any emergencies soon.  Recruitment, though is still open.  I also need a back-up translator, so if you know a fair amount of Japanese and want to help, sent me an e-mail (link). And now onto why your here, Orange Chocolate chapter 8! Link to “Orange Chocolate” Chapter 8 I like this chapter because Chiro’s reaction to recent events are uniquely “Chiro” and quite funny.  She has her own strange view of the world ;p. It looks like I’ve got … Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chapter 8

Orange Chocolate Chapter 7

K3

Here is Orange Chocolate chapter 7. Link to “Orange Chocolate” Chapter 7 At the end of this, it seems the story is taking a turn.  I haven’t read ahead of this to understand where to, but  I hope it’s someplace good.  Anyhow, this chapter is full of lovely images of Ritsu and Chiro in traditional costumes.  It was a tough chapter to edit, so please give thanks to Silver Lunar and Sephyna who did a great deal to help get this chapter out in a timely manner :). It looks like I have a few days before Lala issue 5/2010 … Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chapter 7

Orange Chocolate Chapter 6

K3

Here’s Orange Chocolate Chapter 6.  Some minor changes were made to the pages I released for the preview, so make sure you read the the whole thing.  We finally get to the beginning of Chiro and Ritsu’s dance.  I apologize now for the nasty cliffhanger. Link to Orange Chocolate Chp 6 (Folks who want to upload to manga aggregator websites, please wait until 3/13/2010 just in case a change or two happens) Next up is very short Hana-Kimi omake from Sept 2008.  It’s only 8 pages, so it shouldn’t take too long once I start translating it (I plan to … Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chapter 6

Orange Chocolate Chp 5 Correction

K3

I found a small, but very important translation error in “Orange Chocolate” chp 5.  On page 45 instead of the boss saying the dance won’t be on TV, he says it “ought to be on TV.”  I’ve made the change and the updated file is available via the same link.  But just in case, here’s another link. Link “Orange Chocolate” Chp 5 version 1 This is a plot point that will become key in Chapter 7. Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chp 5 Correction
