Announcement: "Pochamani" Volume 2 Tankoubon Coming out After March
Much to my disappointment, “Pochamani” Volume 2 isn’t coming out in March, which moves the soonest it could come out to April. We have enough tankoubon chapters to last until March with monthly releases. I do have the magazine versions, but Hana to Yume print quality ranges from pure crap to medium. I don’t want to compromise the quality we’ve got from the tankoubon, but at the same time, I know there are some of you who really don’t give a crap about the translation or image quality and just want anything now, first, (because you’re DYING). Now that I’ve … Continue reading Announcement: "Pochamani" Volume 2 Tankoubon Coming out After March
"Lily" Chapter 5 Version 2
Updated 01/26/2013: I’m releasing a new version because a couple of changes to the translation made a significant difference in the story. We always try to give you the best translation possible, so when we find errors, we go back and fix them. I recommend that you re-read the chapter, and if you are collecting the downloads, please download the files again.—————————————— And with this release we are caught up with “Lily” and ending our “Magnolia” ‘Splosion. Hopefully, from now on we will be able to stay up to date with both series. Itan magazine is now a bi-monthly magazine … Continue reading "Lily" Chapter 5 Version 2
"Magnolia" Chapter 28
First of all, thanks to those of you who have supported Omari’s Sister through the purchase of used manga and magazine goodies! There are still a lot great books and items left. Please help clear my bookshelves and storage boxes and provide the group with cash to buy raws for the series you love by purchasing stuff. There are great shipping deals for US buyers and $15/lb shipping for International buyers.(LINK)————————————————-Continuing on with our “Magnolia” ‘Splosion, here is chapter 28. With this we are caught up on the series! This is the other side of what’s happening while Sui and … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 28
"Magnolia" Chapter 27
First a bit of business! Omari’s Sister Store is OPEN! New books and items have been added for your enjoyment. (LINK)—————————————————————–We are working our way through our back log. I’m trying my best to at least keep “Magnolia” up to date. If possible, later on today we’ll release chapter 28 and then “Lily” chapter 5 will come out on Friday or Saturday. Moving on… there’s some parallelism between Alexandra’s dilemma and Lily’s troubles in “Lily” chapter 5. But Alexandra’s dilemma is much more complicated, and honestly, I don’t know what to make of his situation. I suppose if he knew … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 27
Dear Fans, Before you Criticize a Scanlation Group…
I need to get this off my chest because I cannot believe the level of entitlement some fans exhibit. So if you are a “fan” and you are angry that your favorite series isn’t being released at your beckon call, keep these three points in mind. You are getting translated manga for free. For Omari’s Sister, the average single chapter of a series or oneshot requires 40 man-hours of work. 40 HOURS! This is not something that gets done in an afternoon. And the people who do this work are highly skilled artists and translators that could be using these … Continue reading Dear Fans, Before you Criticize a Scanlation Group…
Detarame Mousouryoku Opera Chapters 1 – 3 (end)
Phew! I am so glad to have this series behind me now! Yeah, I bitched and moaned at every step, but it’s a very good short series and I’m glad I went through the aggravation. Like “Seigi no Mikata,” this feels like it was only the beginning of a longer story. I would like to see that longer story, but not if I have to translate it. (It’s my hope that Viz will continue to publish English versions of Bisco Hatori’s works. Honestly, Hatori-sensei’s works need to be professionally translated because her writing is a difficult read.) And with this, … Continue reading Detarame Mousouryoku Opera Chapters 1 – 3 (end)
Poll: Short Series Release Preference
Thanks to those of you who voted in the poll about short series release preference. I think for one volume series it’s very reasonable to release the chapters back to back. As for longer series I think two chapters a month would be more appropriate. Continue reading Poll: Short Series Release Preference
"Pochamani" Chapter 1 – 3 (with Zip option)
Update 8/24/2013: Magnificent Rangers changed to Gluttony Rangers in Chapter 2. First of all, I am providing zips for your convenience so you can make fanart and what not. Please DO NOT upload the zips to manga aggregators. We don’t approve of manga aggregators, and therefore do not want our work posted to them. Second: we need winter banners! (Link to specs) Okay, onto the release. I’m going to post the links first and then comment on chapter 2. I suggest you read my thoughts on chapter 2 after reading the chapter. Links to Pochamani Chapters: Chapter 1 (Zip) (PDF) … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 1 – 3 (with Zip option)
