"Watashi to Kare to mou Hitori" (Me, him, and one more) by Ai Kurimi
Here’s a little rest in between the horror. There’s still some dangerous supernatural elements in the story, but it’s more of a light-comedy romance. So far I’ve been enjoying Ai Kurimi’s light-comedy romances. Most of the them are mildly smutty like “Sweet Spot”. There are several more untranslated oneshots out there, and we will be releasing the oneshots that have appeared in Petite Princess for the past 3 years. They’re all so much fun. And now onto the release!Links to “Watashi to Kare to mou Hitori”: (PDF) (Zip) There will be no release tomorrow because I have to deal with … Continue reading "Watashi to Kare to mou Hitori" (Me, him, and one more) by Ai Kurimi
"Mimi ga Kieta Hi" ("The Day Mimi Disappeared") by Isuzu
Nothing good can come of spending time in an elementary school rabbit hutch, and that’s all I want to say about this oneshot. Links to “Mimi ga Kieta Hi”: (PDF) (Zip) Next up… a little bit of fun before our … Continue reading "Mimi ga Kieta Hi" ("The Day Mimi Disappeared") by Isuzu
"The Friend Doll" Case 3
Here’s the third story from “The Friend Doll” compilation. There are many questions about what’s going on at the end. If you have any theories, please do share. I’m not going to say much about the oneshot, because the fun is in letting the story unfold. We will finish “The Friend Doll” compilation. Because we had limited time and resources for our Halloween releases, we had to prioritize projects. Expect Case 1 and Case 4 this winter. And now onto the release!“The Friend Doll” Case 3: (PDF) (Zip) Next up! Hmm… depends on what the proofreaders get to. Continue reading "The Friend Doll" Case 3
"The Friend Doll" Case 2 by Azusa Tachibana
At the time I selected this oneshot, I didn’t know it had been published in more than one shoujo horror short-story compilation. I found out that it had already been scanlated under a different name when we were almost done with the oneshot, so I decided that we’d complete it and release it anyway because we had put so much work into it. Anyhow, if you’ve already read this oneshot, I’m sorry for the duplication. If you haven’t read this oneshot… enjoy???? Haha! I guess it depends on your disposition.Links “The Friend Doll” Case 2: (PDF) (Zip) Next up will … Continue reading "The Friend Doll" Case 2 by Azusa Tachibana
Let’s get this Party Started! "Harapekona Majo" Chapter 1 by Yuuki Isoya
I meant to post this last night shortly after midnight, but I got distracted and forgot, so I’m posting it first thing in the morning. This series was in the debut issue of Hatsu Kiss magazine, the magazine that replaced Kiss Plus. I don’t want to spoil the fun of this first chapter, so I’ll let you discover what this is. Just keep in mind that we are doing an all-horror Halloween this year, and this is no exception. This series comes out every 4 months in Japan, so expect only 3 chapters a year. And now onto the release! … Continue reading Let’s get this Party Started! "Harapekona Majo" Chapter 1 by Yuuki Isoya
New Short Series: "Nemurenu Ou ni Sasagu Yogatari" (A Bedtime Story for the Sleepless King") Chapter 1 by Toki Yajima
I’m never really sure whether to use the mangaka’s incorrect translation of the title of their work. This one is pretty clunky, so when I post, I’m going to use the Japanese title. But if I were to give this series an English title, I would use “A Bedtime Story for the Sleepless King”. I just found out that this series ends at chapter 4. I was hoping that it would last longer as the mystery unfolds. I hope the end isn’t rushed. This first chapter made me cry, so you may want to get out some tissues in preparation. … Continue reading New Short Series: "Nemurenu Ou ni Sasagu Yogatari" (A Bedtime Story for the Sleepless King") Chapter 1 by Toki Yajima
Regarding Kaoru Ichinose’s Works
We get questions from time to time about whether we are translating works from Kaoru Ichinose. We are. We have a couple of lost and untranslated works from her days at Hakusensha and there are two recent long form oneshots, one of which just came out last month. We are concentrating on the long-form oneshots for now. Each is 123 pages long, so please be patient with us. Top priority is the follow up to “Hajimari wa Suna no Ichiya”. The latest one is called “Tensai Gakusha ni Koishitara” (“If I fall in love with a Genius”). We have the … Continue reading Regarding Kaoru Ichinose’s Works
