I’m going to write up a 2011 retrospective and I would like your inputs as readers of this blog.  I would like to cover the year’s stats for Omari’s Sister (Can you guess what the most read release was?) and my thoughts on the year in manga.  I would like know your thoughts about manga in 2011.  What were some of your favorite series this year (licensed and unlicensed and in general — not only from this group)?  What series do you most want to see licensed?  What series did you hate the most?  What one-shots did you like?  I … Continue reading 2011 Round Up — Your Input wanted!

I can’t believe the year is almost over!  I suppose it’s true that time flies when you’re having fun :). Before we get to December, let’s recap November.  We had a lot of success with the Kuro Lala and Shira Lala releases.  I’m very surprised by their success, so I’m glad we were able to share these one-shots.  Hopefully like me, you have become aware of some mangaka you’ve never heard of.  Toyota Yuu is definitely a new favorite.  I will be looking out for one-shots and series from her in the future.  We are about 1/3 done with the … Continue reading December at Omari’s Sister

We need fall banners!  Send in your fall banners! The width is 1200-pixels and the height has to be less than 350-pixels. October was a wild ride.  We had a big snag which caused us to have to re-clean 4 releases…ugh…Fortunately, the team was up to the challenge and we’ve almost made up the lost time.  October brought us some exciting news.  “Seirei Produce” is back from a year long hiatus and a treat of a series, “Ore to Atashi no Kareshi” popped up in Asuka magazine.  Hooray!On a sad note, we dropped “Pika Ichi”.  I kept an eye on … Continue reading November at Omari’s Sister

Update: I’ve looked at the series we’re doing and the resources and we will do half and half.  This means that we will be doing one-shots for Kuro Lala and Shiro Lala through-out the rest of the fall and winter :).  There will be no set schedule for the one-shot releases.  They’ll get done as they get done! ———————————————- So far Omari’s Sister’s volunteers and a lot of the readers are enthusiastic about the Kuro Lala and Shiro Lala one-shots.  I’m now working on a schedule that will allow us to do most of the one-shots and maintain a decent … Continue reading Kuro Lala and Shiro Lala One-shot Party?
