December at Omari’s Sister

November went better than expected :).  We managed to put out some great releases and spent a lot time spinning our wheels on Pika Ichi. Onto December!  Our wonderful cleaner Silver Lunar is taking a break, so I decided to recruit some more people to fill in and to help out in the future.  I’ve decided to stretch my project management skills by taking on more people so we can get the work planned done.  We’ll see how this goes…I pray my head doesn’t explode. There is too much good stuff out there and it frustrates me because we can’t … Continue reading December at Omari’s Sister

"Folklore Reindeer" Postponed

We will not be doing “Folklore Reindeer” at this time.  It’s very challenging to clean and it will swamp us, keeping us from being able to work on other projects. I think what’s best is to release “Folklore Reindeer” with its companion one-shot “Allegoria Lion” sometime later in 2011.  It will be something we’ll work on in the background for now.

November 2010 at Omari’s Sister

Yikes!  This post is late!  It kept slipping my mind because I was so excited about “Junketsu + Kareshi” and “Magnolia.” October was quite a productive month!  Officially we got out 10 releases, but we did manage to get J+K out about an hour before the end of the month for a total of 11 releases!  I don’t think we be able to be that productive again, especially as we head into the holiday season.  With the passing of October, we say goodbye to one of our cleaners Tedhi.  I’m sorry to see her go, but when real life calls, … Continue reading November 2010 at Omari’s Sister

Winter One-shots!

Here’s a list on the Winter-themed one-shots planned for December and January December: “Folklore no Tonakai” — “Folklore Reindeer” by Mizuno Tohko (“Kimi ni XOXO”) — A young lady has to choose a husband by Christmas, but due to a momentary lapse in sanity the men around her have frightening animal heads!? “Marii to Santa” — “Marie and Santa” by Nigushi Keiko — Santa crashes into a tree and spends an evening with a practical but sweet little girl.  It’s short and super cute! January: “World End Garden” — “The Garden at the End of the World” by Shiina Dai … Continue reading Winter One-shots!

New Series: "Kemono Kingdom: Zoo"

When I first saw this, I thought it was a one-shot like “Hadaka Muffler.”  But, unexpectedly, at the end, there was a つづく and a message that the next chapter would appear in the January the issue of Aria.  So…I guess as long as the series isn’t monthly and sticks to 24-pages per chapter, we can keep up with it. I imagine this is going to be a polarizing series.  There are going to be some people who totally get and love the nonsense, and then there are going to be people who hate how stupid this series it.  Haters, … Continue reading New Series: "Kemono Kingdom: Zoo"

Favorite New Series Poll Results and "Pika Ichi"

Here are the results of the poll about what your favorite new series is: Magnolia 28% (87 votes)Pika Ichi 26% (80 votes)Junketsu + Vampire 46% (145 votes) I’m not surprised that “J+K” won by a wide margin. However, I am surprised at how closely “Magnolia” and “Pika Ichi” are.  The main reason I put out this poll was to gauge “Pika Ichi.”  I felt the first two chapters were great, but I was greatly let down by the third chapter and I see a very mediocre and predicable path ahead for the series.  My mentality always seeks what’s optimum, so … Continue reading Favorite New Series Poll Results and "Pika Ichi"
