Shiro Lala One-shot: "The Wizard and the Love Potion"
This is a really sweet one-shot. As of now this is tied with “Dinner in my Coffin” as my favorite Shiro Lala one-shot. This one-shot had tough redraws on nearly every page, so I would like to thank Ichigo Stars and Kumiko for all the work they put in to make the release of this one-shot possible. It’s beautiful, you guys! I really appreciate it. This one-shot plays with fairytale troupes. It feels very familiar, but I think this one-shot was well done, so I enjoyed the “remix”. If you haven’t read Toyota Yuu’s other one-shot “The Honeybee Earl and … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-shot: "The Wizard and the Love Potion"
Torn About AnS from the Magazine
Update: Thanks to everyone who thoughtfully responded right away. Your love of AnS is clear and I hear it. I think the majority of you understand the difficulty of working with a bad raw and that we as a group don’t want to do mediocre releases if there’s an alternative. So…here’s what we’re going to do: Chapter 28 will be released as scheduled in December In place of releasing a mediocre Chapter 29 in January, we will release the extras from Volume 6. Chapter 29 will be done from the tankoubon as soon as we get it. My hope is … Continue reading Torn About AnS from the Magazine
Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Ginsekai no Shoumei" by Akiduki Sorata
Here is Akiduki Sorata’s Shiro Lala one-shot “Ginsekai no Shoumei” (“The Snowscape’s Emblem”). The image above is a scan of one of the freebie post cards. The large size image (click on the image to see it larger) can be used as wallpaper on your PC or mobile. A note about the spelling of “Akiduki”. A few people have asked me about the change in the spelling. I had been spelling it “Akidzuki” and “Akizuki” is another common spelling. The mangaka herself began romanizing her name and the titles of her works a few months ago. Whether right or wrong, … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Ginsekai no Shoumei" by Akiduki Sorata
"Seirei Produce" Chapter 7
Huzzah! “Seirei Produce” is back! Oh how I missed the Amane/Fuuta comedy pair. A note on chapters 5 and 6, I had a rare type of brainfart and I only saw the kanjis and discarded the furiganas for the middle brother’s name. Instead of “Ookami the Black/Blue”, he is “Sou the Wolf”. Personally, I like “Ookami the Black”…but that’s not the name the mangaka intended. So it’s “Sou” from now on and I’ve gone back and updated chapters 5 and 6 (hopefully, I’ve caught all instances of it).I also decided to call Fuuta a Fox since the other two brothers … Continue reading "Seirei Produce" Chapter 7
Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Dinner in My Coffin" by Nari Kusakawa
How could I resist a one-shot with a title page like this!? It’s soooo pretty! This is actually a scan of the one of the post cards that comes with Shiro Lala. The other post cards are a clean version of the Shiro Lala cover (Akiduki Sorata’s drawing from her one-shot) and “Wild Wing”. But I digress…the idea of an all white vampire is cool. I like the white bats too. The concept is very nice and different. I really liked this one-shot. It felt very mature for what’s usually in Lala, without being “adult”. I wish there were more … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Dinner in My Coffin" by Nari Kusakawa
Shiro Lala One-Shot: "The Sullen Baker and Me"
This unexpectedly became the first one-shot we released from Shiro Lala. Please forgive us if you’ve already read this from Mousou Scans. We were well on our way to completing this one-shot when they released it, but I didn’t want to waste the cleaning and redrawing work that had already been done and we did announce our intention to do this one-shot weeks back, so I decided to just crank this out now since it’s short. Anyhow, this one-shot is very different than what we are used to from Matsuri Hino. It’s a very simple story and the character designs … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "The Sullen Baker and Me"
Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Kokoro Rental"
Here’s a one-shot from a mangaka that’s new to me named Chise Hano. This story has the same campy horror funness as “The Doll Rebirth Workshop”. Once again, we have another plain girl who sells her soul to the devil. Hahaha! I was laughing heartily when I first saw this one-shot. It’s so ridiculous. I’d like to the thank Jade for doing a wonderful translation and English adaptation and I’d like to thank the rest of the Omari’s Sister team who worked on this for lightening the load on me. You all did a beautiful job :). And now for … Continue reading Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Kokoro Rental"
Shiro Lala is Here!
The Cover is sooooo cute! It’s from Akiduki Sorata’s one-shot. Anyhow…Shiro Lala is here! We will be doing this in conjunction with the Kuro Lala one-shots. This isn’t all of the one-shots. These are the ones that caught my eye and this list is in no particular order. Here’s what we have on deck. Updated: Based on you comments, what I’m eager to translate the most, and what we can get done when (one-shots that I will not be translating will not be able to be released immediately), some prioritization has been applied. Thank you so much for you feedback … Continue reading Shiro Lala is Here!
