We are Resuming “Magical Change” and “Yuurei Apaato Kanrinin”

In light of the situation with “Hana ni, Kamitsuku” will we be resuming two neglected series instead. “Magical Change” and “Yuurei Apaato Kanrinin” are returning to Crimson Flower. The next chapters in the series are already begun and we will begin releasing in March.  I will do some batch release blog posts so readers can catch up on the series. In the meanwhile, given the data I’ve collected from the oneshot releases in the last 6 months, I will re-evaluating future series and oneshots. I’m forming my thoughts about it now for a later blog post! The April oneshots will … Continue reading We are Resuming “Magical Change” and “Yuurei Apaato Kanrinin”

We are dropping “Hana ni, Kamitsuku”

I should have checked this before starting the series, but “Hana ni, Kamitsuku” is already completely translated on Otakumole. I’m going to assume that most shoujo scan readers already read the series there, hence the lack of readership here. Given the situation, I don’t see a point in continuing the series, especially considering how time consuming the redraws are. Instead we will refocus our resources on series not already on Otakumole. Going forward, I will check whether a series is already on Otakumole before making it a project. This most likely means that we will not be taking on series … Continue reading We are dropping “Hana ni, Kamitsuku”

Welcome to Crimson Flower’s New Home

I finally migrated Crimson Flower to WordPress. Hopefully the navigation menus and search and discovery features will help you find projects you never were hiding on the Blogger site. The old blog on Blogger will remain live, but no new posts will be made to it. Please update your bookmarks and feeds and consider following the blog via email for news of our latest releases. Sorry, but there’s no chat on this site, but it’s not like readers used the chat much anyway. You can always talk to me using Twitter, in the comments section, or via Tumblr. Please use … Continue reading Welcome to Crimson Flower’s New Home

Thinking about this Year’s Halloween Oneshot Party

I’m not gonna lie; last year’s Halloween oneshot party was a complete flop. Either the stories were too lame or too scary and gorey.  The “Friend Doll” anthology from Betsufure and “Urban Legends” anthology from Mystery Bonita stories were too lame and the zombie oneshots from the Lala family of magazines fell under too gory.  I promise not to do anymore stories from shoujo “horror” anthologies. I thought the campiness would be fun, but the rest of the group didn’t agree and neither did the readers. However, I cannot resist zombie shoujo, so if some pop up again, I will … Continue reading Thinking about this Year’s Halloween Oneshot Party

We will not be Translating Kaoru Ichinose’s Ohzora Works

After evaluating what’s in my stash, I’ve decided that we will not be working on any of Kaoru Ichinose’s untranslated works that are out there at present. This has been at the back of my mind for a long time, which is why I have been dragging my feet on these projects. If there are works in the future that interest us, we will take them on, however Ichinose’s current Ohzora works are not a good fit for our group.
