Lala Fantasy Oneshot: "Baku to Nemurihime" by Yuki Fujitsuka
I hope everyone in the US had a nice 4th of July! We grilled vegetables and portobello mushrooms instead meat. It turned out better than I ever could have thought. For a change of pace during a BBQ, I suggest … Continue reading Lala Fantasy Oneshot: "Baku to Nemurihime" by Yuki Fujitsuka
Lala Fantasy Oneshot: "Vered no Rosemary" by Hitsuji Harumi
This is one of the oneshot from Lala Fantasy, a special Fantasy themed Lala magazine. The frontis page of this oneshot struck me. It looks like one of those carved cameo. I also like the rosemary wreathe and the ornament in Rose’s hair. I really enjoyed Peonine and Jade’s translation of this oneshot. Great job ladies! Ahhh… and Ichi’s redraws… Hee! Anyhow, I’m a sucker for royal romance like this one. And now onto the release!Links to “Vered no Rosemary”: (PDF) (Zip) Next up will be our last release for one anniversary! Please look forward to it! Continue reading Lala Fantasy Oneshot: "Vered no Rosemary" by Hitsuji Harumi
Aka Lala Oneshot: "Shoku no Hana" ("Starving for Hana") by Yumi Kiiro
I know a bunch of you feel trolled by yesterday’s release. I think we can say after that, typical shoujo won’t do for this audience. Of course I’m happy about this! It means we’ve made the transition! I still appreciated … Continue reading Aka Lala Oneshot: "Shoku no Hana" ("Starving for Hana") by Yumi Kiiro
Oneshot: "Shoujo Jump" by Yuu Kurumi
We wanted to release this during the Winter Olympics, but the release didn’t come together until now. Thanks to Ichi for taking on and producing some wonderful redraws! Thanks to Peonine and Jade for the translation! And lastly, thanks to Suzume for lettering the oneshot. This is an ice skating oneshot, obviously. Haha! I thought it was super cute and I like the action drawings, something we rarely see in shoujo. It’s too bad we’ll not see any sports shoujo manga soon since the US publishers assume we won’t buy the series. Grr… I hope you all enjoy this confection! … Continue reading Oneshot: "Shoujo Jump" by Yuu Kurumi
"Hanaibara" Epilogue
Here’s the short “Hanaibara” extra story that came after chapter 3. I got a good laugh out of this short, but I think it sums up where the story ended. I’ll miss these three. Maybe we’ll get lucky in the future and see a oneshot with these characters. It seems to happen all the time in Wings magazine. If you enjoyed this short series, please buy the book and show Mio Kawahara your love. The book is lovely and comes with color pages and some nice extras. Here are some links to purchase: ISBN-13: 9784800000996 Amazon JPYes Asia ($9.99 + … Continue reading "Hanaibara" Epilogue
"Hanaibara" Chapter 3 (End)
This is the final chapter of the “Hanaibara” main story. We’ll release the short extra story tomorrow. I guess I really can’t discuss the chapter without spoiling, so I’ll write a comment in a day or so. Oh! There is also a oneshot called “Dirge” in the “Hanaibara” compilation. We’ll present that during our “Halloween” oneshot party later in the year. I hope you’ve enjoyed this series and please look forward to the extra short story tomorrow! And now onto the release! Links to “Hanaibara” Chapter 3 (PDF) (Zip) After the “Hanaibara” short story tomorrow, we will continue the celebration … Continue reading "Hanaibara" Chapter 3 (End)

Onto the release!Links to “Hanaibara” Chapter 2: (PDF) (Zip) Tomorrow chapter 3 will be released! Continue reading Hanaibara Chapter 2
Short Series: Hanaibara Chapter 1
This is a slice-of-life short story from Avarus magazine that we’ve been working on for quite a while. Thanks to Peonine for the lovely translation. “Hanaibara” is another series that involves an erotic fiction novelist. Are you spotting a trend? I’m glad I waited until the tankoubon released because it includes some gorgeous color illustrations. Flowers are a motif throughout the story, so to give some context, Peonine provided some translation notes. They will be placed at the end of each chapter. This series is 3 chapters long plus an epilogue. We will be releasing each chapter and epilogue nightly. … Continue reading Short Series: Hanaibara Chapter 1
