Aria One-Shot: "Young Shinba and the Sleeping Giants" by Haru Maebashi
This one-shot has been simmering on the back burner for over a year. We’ve been working on it bit by bit for that long until it snuck up on me all lettered and nearly ready for release. I was gonna release a few days ago, but I decided not to bury “Ojousama no Untenshu,” so I let it sit a little longer. Anyhow…this is shounenish one-shot from Aria magazine. The premise is good, but as a one-shot there aren’t nearly enough pages to fully flesh-out the concept and the story. I would have liked to have seen this as 3 … Continue reading Aria One-Shot: "Young Shinba and the Sleeping Giants" by Haru Maebashi
We’re Bringing "Servamp" to Omari’s Sister
As you may know we are taking a different tack with “Bakeneko’s Lair.” As such we are bringing the current series we run there back to Omari’s Sister. “Bakeneko’s Lair” will continue, but it will truly be targeted at readers older than age 16. Chapter 3 of “Servamp” is well on its way to being done. It has just been sent to the typesetter and should be ready for release in 2 to 3 weeks. Until then, please refresh yourselves or catch-up on the series: “Servamp” chapter 1 “Servamp” chapter 2 Continue reading We’re Bringing "Servamp" to Omari’s Sister

"Ojousama no Untenshu" Chapter 4
Here’s chapter 4 as promised! It’s the older-woman-hits-on-Narutaki chapter we all expected. Get your eye-rolls over with now. Forget the pretty older lady, what’s entertaining here is Sayaka’s reaction to Narutaki’s and Miss Fumi’s relationship. Now that this expected chapter is over with, guess what comes next??? Geez, I wonder could Sayaka’s father could have picked out a fiancee for Sayaka. Noooooo, that would never happen. That would be be way too predictable. Hahaha! As I’ve said before, I don’t mind cliches as long as they are done well (and there’s nicely drawn eye candy…ahem…cough…cough). Oh and some notes for … Continue reading "Ojousama no Untenshu" Chapter 4

Watery banners are needed for August!!!! (width 1250 px, max height 350 px) I hadn’t realized that it’s been more than 3 months since we last released a chapter of this series. Time does fly!

"Lily" Chapter 4
I have the sinking feeling that this chapter is going to piss a lot of people off. It’s well worn shoujo territory and there are lots of folk who read OS who are opposed to student/teacher relationships, including myself. Unfortunately, this is part of the “Magnolia” story, so I can’t just not translate it. That would be weird. I had to set a lot of my brain aside to accept this chapter. First I had to set aside my hatred for student/teacher relationship fantasies, then I had to set aside my hatred for age gap fantasies, and finally I had … Continue reading "Lily" Chapter 4
