At last we come to the end of the Tanburn arc.  I’m kinda surprised this chapter didn’t begin with some color pages.  Oh well, this is still nice.Anyhow…a lot of loose ends are tied up in this chapter.  We finally learn who Shirayuki really is and why Kadzuki kidnapped her.  I kinda wish that there was more to the pirate and the Mountain Lion grudge and more to the pirate’s boss than she’s an angry and violent woman.  I wanted there to be some history other than tit for tat.  But…alas, this is not a story about pirates and vigilantes … Continue reading "Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 26

At last!  I’m so sorry for the delay!  As you know things happens and plans fall through.  Anyhow, we got it done and chapter 26 is well on it’s way to getting done.  I don’t know what’s going to happen when AnS moves to Lala magazine.  I suspect chapter 27 will be printed with high quality and then after that the image quality will be inconsistent and we’ll have the same problem that we have with “The Ghost Apartment Manager”.  If the print quality is really poor, then we will have no choice but to wait for the tankoubon.  We’ve … Continue reading "Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 25

This was supposed to come out a little over a week ago, but sometimes life takes unexpected and sad turns, and people have to stop everything to observe the passing of a life.  It’s difficult to take the passing of someone your own age.  I didn’t know the deceased well, but her death did cause me to pause and assess my own mortality.  All I have to say is life is fragile, so make everyday your best :). Anyhow…here’s Akagami no Shirayukihime chapter 24.  This chapter taunted and teased me the whole time.  It really fought against get done.  Hahaha!  … Continue reading Akagami no Shirayukihime Chapter 24

The long wait is over!  This was a tougher chapter than usual in terms of translation, cleaning, and redrawing than usual.  I think most of our active cleaners helped out on this chapter.  I think we are all glad to have this chapter over with!  Phew! Well, the chapter didn’t go as I expected, but my random wish for pirates in the story did come true!  Hooray for pirates!Updated 03/11/2011 (incorporated multiple minor edits from Holanio) Updated 03/10/2011 (error on page 25 fixed)Links to “Akagami no Shirayukihime” chapter 23: (Zip) (PDF) Spoiler Alert!

Here is “Akagami no Shirayukihime” chapter 22.  I get the impression after reading this chapter that Shirayuki is in no real danger, but rather the folks after Shirayuki are probably Raji’s adoring siblings.  I hope I’m wrong, because if the siblings then I’m going to be SUPER PEEVED.  Anyhow…it would make sense as far a Izana not being all that concerned about the people after Shirayuki.  He’s probably laughing his ass off in the castle as Zen gallops off to the rescue Shirayuki from a 10-year old. Anyhow, I noticed while cleaning this that the artwork has a more of … Continue reading Akagami no Shirayukihime Chapter 22
