Ouran High School Host Club January 2011 Special Chapter

Update:  Files updated to correct the spelling of various locations and people talked about this chapter.  Big thanks for zronoa for the information.—————————— First of all, I would like to thank the cleaners for helping me get this out so promptly.  You guys are wonderful and generous with your time and talent. Now, just a warning: this special chapter does not move the story forward.  There are no big revelations or character developments.  Rather it’s like an extra-long chapter of a normal Ouran story.  When I first saw that’s what this was, I was rather disappointed because like so many … Continue reading Ouran High School Host Club January 2011 Special Chapter

Ouran Special Spoiler

Here are my three favorite pages from the January 2011 Ouran special chapter.  The rest of the one-shot is mostly the story of “special guest star”  poor little rich girl Nanako sandwiched in a Barcelona travel brochure.  So, no, it’s not really about Kyouya either.  It’s more like a normal random chapter of Ouran in which the Host Club helps some person in distress.  Anyhow, please enjoy this preview.  We’ll try to get the rest of the one-shot completed before the end of the month.

The Scarecrow of Oz is being Serialized

AUGH!!!  A pleasant hole has been blown into my plans :).  “The Scarecrow of Oz” has been picked up as a series in “Hana to Yume” magazine.  It will begin serialization in Hana to Yume issue 5, which releases in two weeks!  I LOVE the two one-shots, so we will be picking up this series.  Unfortunately, for you “Pika Ichi” fans, this is the last nail in the coffin for that series.  I’m currently actively looking for a good translator/typesetter to take it over. Until I do find someone, we will put out chapters when we have time. Let’s keep … Continue reading The Scarecrow of Oz is being Serialized
