"Rex Fabula" Chapter 11
We’re still trucking along slowly on this series. Chapter 12 should be released on Friday or Saturday. In this chapter we see Homare unknowingly making friends. Haha! Homare is so stubborn, but he’s making some really good friends. I’m not feeling very talkative tonight. I’ve got a pile to stuff waiting to be finished, and it’s making me twitchy because I want to get done, so I can move on to the supernatural stuff. And now onto the release!Links to “Rex Fabula” Chapter 11: (PDF) (Zip) Next up will be the S&M oneshot “Sakashima” followed by “Rex Fabula” Chapter 12. Continue reading "Rex Fabula" Chapter 11
Oneshot: "Fugitto Amor" by Shiina Dai
So… the recent oneshots and series from The Hana to Yume (Hakusensha) have been opening my eyes to what an age gap love story can be. They don’t have to be about manipulation or older men chasing after teenagers or little girls, or the inverse. Rather age gap stories can be pure and sweet and about deeper connections than sex. This is a simple and amazing love story. What’s more amazing is that something that was only 14 pages long brought me to tears and reminded me of all the wonderful things love can be. I don’t know if you’ll … Continue reading Oneshot: "Fugitto Amor" by Shiina Dai
"Magnolia" Chapter 35
This chapter confuses me quite a bit, but I wonder if I’m the only who found it a bit inconsistent with past chapters in the stories. This is the biggest problem I’m having: And… Soooo… without spoiling what comes ahead. I’ll just say, “WTF, Vincent?” Anyhow, I’m very scared about the possibility this chapter opens, and hope it won’t go down the typical shoujo route because it would negate too much of the previous story, the fundamental mechanic of the “Magnolia”, and be untrue to the characters as laid out so far — mainly it makes the King looks very … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 35

Please let me know if it’s not working for you.————————————– I’m sorry for the abrupt change. Omari’s Sister has always been a joke between me and my brother. The joke has run on for far too long and… apparently there’s something going on with an Omari on some reality television show that’s causing occasional namespace collisions. Omari asked me to change the name, so in keeping with his wishes, we are now “Crimson Flower”. I … Continue reading Welcome to Crimson Flower!

"Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 4
There’s one more chapter to go! I’ll start typesetting it tomorrow, so if all goes well, it will be ready for release around this time Friday (my time) or Saturday morning. There’s a nasty cliffhanger, so I won’t keep you or the proofreaders waiting. This chapter addresses the move Mamiya made in chapter 3. I’m sure the new information will paint a completely different picture of Mamiya and her bold move in chapter 3. I’ve decided to hold off on commenting until the end of series. I like the comments that have been left so far, and it would seem … Continue reading "Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 4

"Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 2
All right! Let’s get started on the rest of “Kanojo ni Naru Hi”!
