Series Debut: "Pochama ni" Chapter 1 (or 3) by Kaname Hirama

K3

First of all I would like to thank Amrai for helping me fine-tune the translation :). And next I would like to thank “Eagle-Eyes” Kaito for some amazing QC work!  Holy crap! She’s thorough! This series caught me eye immediately, and after doing a quick read through, I realized I’d come across a real gem.  All three chapters and the one-shot have been released in Japan over the past 2 months, so I’ll do my best to finish this series quickly. That said, I have read through the other chapters, and I still feel this series is quite special and … Continue reading Series Debut: "Pochama ni" Chapter 1 (or 3) by Kaname Hirama

Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Twinkle Loop Story" by Ayu Nozaki

K3

I hate katakana. Up until yesterday, I thought the title of this one-shot was “Twinkle-Poo Story”. Apparently the mangaka was being clever in a non-native language and I was supposed to see how the “ru” was multitasking as the “le” in “Twinkle” and the “loo” in “Loop”…ugh…I hate the Japanese version of English. Why can’t you use Japanese words!!!  *Bangs head* Katakana is the bane of my existence. Anyhow…a kind and more learned soul set me straight.  Thank you higher power! Indeed! I learned something new yesterday! This is one of my favorite all time one-shots.  It comes in behind … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Twinkle Loop Story" by Ayu Nozaki

Magnolia Chapter 23

K3

For those of you who hate Hugo, this chapter is going to suck. I love Hugo, so I thought this was a very romantic chapter. Hahaha! Unfortunately, we are left at the end with a nasty cliff hanger and the cruel news that the mangaka are skipping the next issue in order to collect material to continue the series.  But! Lily chapter 4 is coming out in Itan on the 25th, so we will have a Magnolia related chapter in July!  Hooray! That should ease the pain of waiting. On to the release! Link to “Magnolia” Chapter 23:  (PDF) OS … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 23

Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Akatsuki no Miko" ("The Dawn Priest") by Akira Kouno

K3

It’s best not to think too hard about the “science” and the “artificial sun” in this one-shot.  Just take things as they are and you’ll be rewarded with something cute. This one-shot was on the bubble because I don’t like the mangaka’s drawing style and the character development seemed shallow.  But it was kinda sci-fi-ish, which is hard to find in shoujo manga, so I included it. Ah…about the word “Miko”…this was kinda weird because Miko are women. But the mangaka used the form that didn’t have the “woman” kanji, so I just went with “Priest” since this is a … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Akatsuki no Miko" ("The Dawn Priest") by Akira Kouno
