Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama Chapter 5

K3

This has nothing to do with this manga or Omari’s Sister, but go see “Pacific Rim”. It’s the funnest movie of the summer season IMHO. I’ve been spamming the heck out of everyone on Tumblr with it. Anyhow, go give it some money, because we need more movies like this and less “Transformers” and “Battleship” crap. Okay, back to the manga at hand. I think the release pace of “Ore to Atashi” is going to continue on like this. We’re working on chapter 6 now, but I can’t say with confidence that we’ll release it in August. There are simply … Continue reading Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama Chapter 5

Oneshot: "Ongaku ga Mieru Otoko" ("The Man who Could See Music") by Tsukiji Nao

K3

FINALLY!!! It’s done! Tsukiji Nao oneshots are a pain in the butt to letter. This oneshot in particular had A LOT of text and sound effects.  A big thanks goes out Kaito and Aricania for lettering this project. Also, a HUGE thanks to Jade for translating all that text!  The English adaptation is GORGEOUS!  Hooray for Jade!!! I think she really nailed this one! This comes from the “Haikyo Shoujo” collection too. As you’ll notice all the oneshots from that collection are connected by junk piles/ruins and hallucinations. This oneshot, in particular, has a nice life lesson — one I … Continue reading Oneshot: "Ongaku ga Mieru Otoko" ("The Man who Could See Music") by Tsukiji Nao

"Pochamani" Chapter 7

K3

Thanks to everyone for waiting patiently for us to continue “Pochamani”.  I wanted to do this chapter in particular in high quality, and I think it was well worth the wait. From now on to be in-synch with the tankoubon releases, we will release one chapter per month. We anticipate no multiple months long hiatuses in the near to mid-range future. I’ve included the artwork from the volume 2 tankoubon, so if you are feeling inspired, I would love some Pochamani banners for the blog (width: 1250px, height: 250 – 350px, PSD with separate text layer preferred) Oh! I almost … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 7

"Hakamori Majo Bianca" Chapter 4

K3

Bianca’s back with two more chapters! Having read both of the new chapters, it seems that the story isn’t over yet. Hopefully with encouragement from readers in Japan, we’ll get a few more chapters to complete the story. (It seems to me that a chapter or two more ought to be enough content to publish in a tanakoubon.) We pick up the story with Bianca more confused than ever and poor Nelo clumsily trying to play cupid.  I truly like Nelo.  She’s a sweet girl. I’d like to see a spinoff where she finds magic success and a love of … Continue reading "Hakamori Majo Bianca" Chapter 4

New Series: "many" Chapter 1 by Kakeru Tsutsumi

K3

Tonight we are debuting a new short series “many”. It’s only three chapters long, and we anticipate releasing the next two chapters within this month (though I’m not promising that). Thanks to Peonine for a lovely translation, Suzume and Yoriko for cleaning and redrawing, and lastly to Holanio for typesetting. Retranslation Partners:La Noche de los Caidos — Spanish On to the release!Links to “many” Chapter 1: (Zip) (PDF) My thoughts on the first chapter:The lovely and delicate artwork attracted me to this mangaka. This series has a nice summer feel.  Typically, I don’t like high school love trains, but the … Continue reading New Series: "many" Chapter 1 by Kakeru Tsutsumi
