"Magnolia" Chapter 24
Oh Nagi, what evil pills has Vincent given to you?! No don’t take them!!! Nagi!!! This is a very short chapter and most of it is flashback. It seems that Naked Ape is going to get the most out of Queen Angela’s letter. But I understand…they’re busy. They’ve got two series running in Zero-Sum magazine and private works they offer through their own website. Anyhow…enjoy the 30-seconds of pleasure!Link to “Magnolia” chapter 24: (PDF) Next up…I don’t know. We are currently working on “Servamp” chapter 3, “The Day I Kissed a Whale”, “Summer Blue,” and the “Pochama ni” prequel one-shot. Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 24
"Seigi no Mikata!" Chapter 4 (End)
It’s time to say “goodbye” to our Cherry Blossom Hero. Yep, this is the last chapter of “Seigi no Mikata!” I wonder if we’ll see more of Mikata and S in the future. The ending felt more like the end of a pre-quel than the end of a series. Oh well, still it was a fun series to translate. I won’t miss the typesetting though. In this final chapter we are introduced to some of the other heroes in neighboring communities and a mysterious new “hero” shows up. Heheh…ooh, yeah, it’s beyond corny. I so wanted Lily to be a … Continue reading "Seigi no Mikata!" Chapter 4 (End)
July 2012 Statistics
Here are some statistics from July. We passed the 3 million views mark! That was pretty cool. Readership has dropped somewhat with the absence of “Akagami no Shirayukihime.” It doesn’t impact what we do, but it’s interesting see what people come to the blog for and what people often check for on the blog. Most of those views lasted less than a second. To be honest, I kinda enjoyed not having the AnS hanging over my shoulder for the last two months. We didn’t have as many releases as we had hoped in July. “Detarame Mousouryoku Opera” killed the first … Continue reading July 2012 Statistics
"Seigi no Mikata!" Chapter 3
Only one more chapter to go! This chapter deals with Kotarou’s family and centers mainly around his youngest brother Takuma. Kotarou’s family is pretty funny and Mitsubachi-sensei did a great job developing each child’s personalities despite the few pages available for this part of the story. I finally figured out what Sakuraiya’s speech is supposed to be. In the previous two chapters I did a very literal translation because I didn’t know what to make of the speech and I considered the possibility that it could be pure nonsense. Out of nowhere I remembered having plum trees in my parent’s … Continue reading "Seigi no Mikata!" Chapter 3

Aria One-Shot: "Young Shinba and the Sleeping Giants" by Haru Maebashi
This one-shot has been simmering on the back burner for over a year. We’ve been working on it bit by bit for that long until it snuck up on me all lettered and nearly ready for release. I was gonna release a few days ago, but I decided not to bury “Ojousama no Untenshu,” so I let it sit a little longer. Anyhow…this is shounenish one-shot from Aria magazine. The premise is good, but as a one-shot there aren’t nearly enough pages to fully flesh-out the concept and the story. I would have liked to have seen this as 3 … Continue reading Aria One-Shot: "Young Shinba and the Sleeping Giants" by Haru Maebashi
We’re Bringing "Servamp" to Omari’s Sister
As you may know we are taking a different tack with “Bakeneko’s Lair.” As such we are bringing the current series we run there back to Omari’s Sister. “Bakeneko’s Lair” will continue, but it will truly be targeted at readers older than age 16. Chapter 3 of “Servamp” is well on its way to being done. It has just been sent to the typesetter and should be ready for release in 2 to 3 weeks. Until then, please refresh yourselves or catch-up on the series: “Servamp” chapter 1 “Servamp” chapter 2 Continue reading We’re Bringing "Servamp" to Omari’s Sister
