New Josei Series: "Bread & Butter" Chapter 1
Under normal circumstances, we would not touch any series from Shueisha because of over-representation in scanlation and licensed content. I’m taking a gamble that this series will not be licensed because the main characters are in their mid and late 30s. This is from the same mangaka who brought us “Sunadokei” (“The Hour Glass” or “Sand Chronicle”) and “Piece”. Haha! Hopefully this won’t go off the rails like “Sunadokei” did. I picked this series because I like Hara, the main male character, and because bread. Do I really need any other justification beyond “bread-baking megane”? Anyhow, I hope you all … Continue reading New Josei Series: "Bread & Butter" Chapter 1

I decided to take a look at the performance of our Valentine’s Day oneshots and the other oneshots and short series we’ve completed this year.

"Baraou no Souretsu" Chapter 6
It’s been about two weeks since our last release. The slow pace is because we’ve begun working on projects for our 5th-year anniversary. I’m not sure whether we’ll begin on June 1st or start on June 26th, the actually day of our anniversary. Either way, it will be a month long event. Until then, our regular series will be a little slow. We need typesetters/letterers for the next 3 months. If you are an experience letterer and would like to help, please send me (Kuroneko003) an email via the link in the upper right hand corner of this blog. Also, … Continue reading "Baraou no Souretsu" Chapter 6
