Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Tsuki no Kanon" (The Moon’s Canon") by Ken Saitou
First of all, I’d like to thank Amrai for translating this. Amrai’s relatively new to the group. She’s the translator for AnS, Ojou-sama no Untenshu, and many of our one-shots. Her ability to make sense of Akidzuki Sorata’s word-salad never ceases to amaze me! The happy times and comedy lasted only for a short time. Now we are back to the drama. This story is more pathetic and rant worthy than it is sad and tear-jerking. If you’ve been following the conversation in the chatbox, you know what I’m talking about. This story really raised the hackles of the OS … Continue reading Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Tsuki no Kanon" (The Moon’s Canon") by Ken Saitou
Very Short Manga: "Happiness Lawn" — I Thought "Did I Die?"
This was a special for Silver Lunar who loves her birdies and birds in general! Since it’s only 4-pages, I’ll just post the images here. Click on the image to see it larger. This is short comic runs in The Hana to Yume which is published every 3 months. Apparently there are lots of chapters, but this is first time I’ve noticed it. We may translate more chapters depending on the content. Regardless, Ojou-chan is ADORABLE!!! And I would love to see more of her adventures. Note: Katakana pisses me off…I’m not sure whether the intended title is “Happiness Lawn” … Continue reading Very Short Manga: "Happiness Lawn" — I Thought "Did I Die?"

One-Shot: "Assassin Red Riding Hood"
Here’s a wee-bit of stoopid to make up for all the dreary from the last two one-shots. This is more like a one-shot for Bakeneko’s Lair, but since I reintegrated that, this one-shot appears here. I like stories that are parodies of Fairy Tales. This is a short one-shot that appeared in Zero-Sum Ward magazine, so it’s on the shounen side of the manga spectrum. Oh, and it’s only 10-pages! So it’s a quick read :). Onto the link! Link to “Assassin Red Riding Hood”: (PDF) (If the PDF doesn’t open in your browser, download the files to your hard … Continue reading One-Shot: "Assassin Red Riding Hood"
"Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chp 34
I’d love to see a clean version of this drawing. It’s too bad when the tankoubon is published, the clean image will be in black-and-white instead of color. Maybe one day Akidzuki-sensei will bless us with an illustration book so we can see clean versions of the color title pages. This chapter sets the premise for the present story arc. Honestly, the medical/pharma stuff doesn’t interest me. Rather, I’m more interested in whether Ms. Naki is Izana’s love interest. Haha! I guess I just want to see what kind of woman Izana ends up with. I’m rather impatient and I … Continue reading "Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chp 34
One-Shot: "See You Again" by Junko Ike
I’m starting to notice a running theme in these Shiro Lala one-shots. I imagine it’s because in Japanese culture white is associated with death, which is an opposite notion for Westerners. If you’re still recovering from “Souai Metaphysica”, then perhaps you ought to wait a day or two before reading this one-shot. It’s a short one-shot, but it packs a lot of punch for 16 pages. I think this one-shot ends on a better note than “Souai”, but still…sigh…haha! Unfortunately, the next chapter of AnS is not gonna pull us out of the sorrow hole :(. But don’t worry, the … Continue reading One-Shot: "See You Again" by Junko Ike
One-Shot: "Souai Metaphysica" ("Mutual Love Metaphysica") by Mikase Hayashi
You might want to get out a couple of tissues for this one-shot. I had a hard time completing the translation because I started bawling halfway through. I’m a sucker for stories about unrequited love and for some reason the whole notion makes me incredibly sad. This is a beautiful one-shot, and I hope you all enjoy it. We will release Hayashi-sensei’s other one-shot from Kuro Lala within the month, so look out for it. Onto the link!Link to “Souai Metaphysica”: (PDF) Tomorrow, a short one-shot will be released and followed most likely by AnS Chp 34. Continue reading One-Shot: "Souai Metaphysica" ("Mutual Love Metaphysica") by Mikase Hayashi
Omari’s Sister 3rd Anniversary Celebration Begins! One-Shot: "Wild Wing" by Yumi Kiiro
First of all, a teaser for our new series coming in June. Linky-link! Omari’s Sister started doing scanlations back on June 26, 2009. At that time it was a one-person group and the first project was Ouran High School Host Club chapter 71. I only did that scanlation because I was tired of waiting for chapters to be released. I had no intention of taking this any further. But then true to shoujo scanlation culture, some friction arose over Ouran and the prideful and stubborn side of me took hold and I continued on with Ouran. I admit at that … Continue reading Omari’s Sister 3rd Anniversary Celebration Begins! One-Shot: "Wild Wing" by Yumi Kiiro
