Planning for 2014 — Your Feedback is Wanted

NOTE:  WE AREN’T DROPPING ANY SERIES. WE ARE DILIGENTLY WORKING ON UNFINISHED SERIES. THEY WILL GET DONE.  2013 is winding down, so it’s time to start planning for 2014! This year we started making an effort to only take on short series and more oneshots. This summer we started exploring josei. We will continue the transition to short series and more oneshots in 2014. As a translator, I’ve found working on long-form oneshots to be very fulfilling. The stories are focused, deep, and have a definite arc, and an end. Not many long-form oneshots are published, so pickings are slim.  … Continue reading Planning for 2014 — Your Feedback is Wanted

Retired — New Series: "Shingeki to Kyojin — The Birth of Levi" Chapter 0 (Prologue)

As promised, we will be translating the “Attack on Titan” Levi spinoff.  What better way than this to kick off our special fall releases!  This is a short prologue to the series.  The actual series will begin at the end of November.  This project will be our top priority, and we will do our best to release the chapters within a week of Aria arriving in the mail.  I typically get Aria the day of or the day after release in Japan. A big thank to Ichigo Stars for helping me with the redraws (and repaints). It’s pretty amazing that … Continue reading Retired — New Series: "Shingeki to Kyojin — The Birth of Levi" Chapter 0 (Prologue)

Please let me know if it’s not working for you.————————————– I’m sorry for the abrupt change.  Omari’s Sister has always been a joke between me and my brother.  The joke has run on for far too long and… apparently there’s something going on with an Omari on some reality television show that’s causing occasional namespace collisions.  Omari asked me to change the name, so in keeping with his wishes, we are now “Crimson Flower”.  I … Continue reading Welcome to Crimson Flower!

Thank you for Taking the Oneshot Survey!

Thanks to all of you who gave us your input on your favorite mangaka. It looks like my instincts are on track and we are well on the way to preparing a nice selection of oneshots for the 4th anniversary of Omari’s Sister and the rest of 2013. Our plan is to release complete collections of oneshots from our favorite mangaka. This means we will do our own versions of oneshots that may have already been released along with some that have never been released in English. I know some of you don’t like that, and I invite you not … Continue reading Thank you for Taking the Oneshot Survey!
