Merit in "Ouran" and "The Scarecrow of Oz," Plus, Other Fun Stuff

Here’s some bits from an e-mail discussion I had with Corgi about “Ouran” and “The Scarecrow of Oz.”  This might, also, give you some insight into the thought that goes into translation. Black Text = CorgiRed Text = Kuroneko003 Please feel free to add to the conversation or make you own comments.  I really like “The Scarecrow of Oz” and found a lot of meaning in it.  Furthering the discussion about “Ouran” is welcomed too :).————————- Page 6: ‘Merit’ – heh.  Reminds me of Haruhi’s discussion with Kyoya during his fake assault.  I keep thinking there’s implications to the word-as-translated … Continue reading Merit in "Ouran" and "The Scarecrow of Oz," Plus, Other Fun Stuff

One-Shot: "Nemurenu Kishi ni Hanataba wo" ("Bouquets of Flowers for the Sleepless Knight")

K3

Here is the one-shot “Nemurenu Kishi ni Hanataba wo” (“Bouquets of Flowers for the Sleepless Knight”).  This story and the characters seem very inline with Yumi Kiiro’s current series “Library Wars: Love and War.” Both characters are strong and likable and the story is a good mix of humor, romance and adventure.  I hope you enjoy this short story as much as I did.  Oh! and a big thank to our new cleaner, Sae, who helped get this out sooner than I expected.Links to “Nemurenu Kishi ni Hanataba wo”:  (Zip) (PDF — Mobile and Tablets) If you enjoyed this one-shot … Continue reading One-Shot: "Nemurenu Kishi ni Hanataba wo" ("Bouquets of Flowers for the Sleepless Knight")

Nemurenu Kishi ni Hanataba wo (Bouquets of Flowers for the Sleepless Knight) Preview

K3

We’re slowly slogging through “Nemurenu Kishi ni Hanataba wo” so I figured to get to folks interested, I’ve post a short preview of the story.  The first part is mostly humorous, but the ending might induce a few tears.  Anyhow…this isn’t the final version and there maybe typos, but here you go: This is a tough one-shot to clean and edit, so it will take a bit longer to complete than most of our releases.  Hopefully, we can get it out before the end of the week.

Poll Results: Joshua’s Punishment

21 Sack Beatings 17 Sack Full of Nickels Beatings 13 Hugs 26 Convenient Disney Deaths I’m actually quite surprised by the number of people with sympathy for Joshua.  Well…I guess we’ll see what will become of Joshua in a chapter or two.  I still maintain that he will be sacrificed. On the matter of “Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen,” I did read that chapter 17 was the climax of the story.  I suppose this means the series is ending soon.  I don’t know how many chapters are left, but chapter 18 or 19 will be the end of the fourth volume.

I’m Going to Finish "Kimi ni XOXO"

K3

I’ve decided to finish “Kimi ni XOXO.”  The second chapter is pretty good and according to the preview, chapter 3 is the climax of the story meaning that this series will end very soon.  My guess is that there will be 4 chapters and a forthcoming one-shot about something else.  We’ll have to wait and  see.  Given that the story is cute and the commitment is light, I’ll go ahead and finish this series.
