Another Family Health Emergency — breaking until April 1st
There’s another health emergency in my family. I will be out of town and in a rural area that most likely will not have cellular data for me to access, so I couldn’t upload CF projects if I wanted to. I will, however, use the two weeks to read as much unlicensed manga as I can and write up some reviews when I get back. Barring another of the issues, we’ll start releasing soon after I get back in April. I will make an effort to get the “Sabaku no Harem” Lala Special oneshot out this week before I leave. … Continue reading Another Family Health Emergency — breaking until April 1st

My Updated thoughts on Scanlation
I wrote a new blog power on Lovely Manga in response to a question about whether “Kanojo ni Naru Hi” and the spinoff are popular enough in scanlation to get licensed. The short answer is scanlation and manga licensing are unrelated. To read more of my perspective on the matter, here’s a link to the blog post on Lovely Manga. I do have an account on Ask.fm now, so if you wish to ask me a question, you can go here: http://ask.fm/KuronekoOO3 or use the Ask.fm widget on the right hand side of this blog.

2014 Series and Oneshot Stats Summary
I’ll keep this simple by displaying two charts. I don’t want to give exact numbers, so I normalized the data. There are no surprises about the top series. “Risou no Kareshitachi” was surprisingly the hit oneshot of last year. While being the most popular, this is also the oneshot that I received the most email expressing displeasure about. The least read oneshots were all of the ones released for Halloween, with “The Doll Friend” stories filling the bottom. I’m not sure what to make of this given the popularity of “Risou Kareshitachi”. I think the only influence that this data … Continue reading 2014 Series and Oneshot Stats Summary
