Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Twinkle Loop Story" by Ayu Nozaki

I hate katakana. Up until yesterday, I thought the title of this one-shot was “Twinkle-Poo Story”. Apparently the mangaka was being clever in a non-native language and I was supposed to see how the “ru” was multitasking as the “le” in “Twinkle” and the “loo” in “Loop”…ugh…I hate the Japanese version of English. Why can’t you use Japanese words!!!  *Bangs head* Katakana is the bane of my existence. Anyhow…a kind and more learned soul set me straight.  Thank you higher power! Indeed! I learned something new yesterday! This is one of my favorite all time one-shots.  It comes in behind … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Twinkle Loop Story" by Ayu Nozaki

Magnolia Chapter 23

For those of you who hate Hugo, this chapter is going to suck. I love Hugo, so I thought this was a very romantic chapter. Hahaha! Unfortunately, we are left at the end with a nasty cliff hanger and the cruel news that the mangaka are skipping the next issue in order to collect material to continue the series.  But! Lily chapter 4 is coming out in Itan on the 25th, so we will have a Magnolia related chapter in July!  Hooray! That should ease the pain of waiting. On to the release! Link to “Magnolia” Chapter 23:  (PDF) OS … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 23

Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Akatsuki no Miko" ("The Dawn Priest") by Akira Kouno

It’s best not to think too hard about the “science” and the “artificial sun” in this one-shot.  Just take things as they are and you’ll be rewarded with something cute. This one-shot was on the bubble because I don’t like the mangaka’s drawing style and the character development seemed shallow.  But it was kinda sci-fi-ish, which is hard to find in shoujo manga, so I included it. Ah…about the word “Miko”…this was kinda weird because Miko are women. But the mangaka used the form that didn’t have the “woman” kanji, so I just went with “Priest” since this is a … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Akatsuki no Miko" ("The Dawn Priest") by Akira Kouno

Zero-Sum Ward One-Shot: "Please Leave, Hero!"

Here’s another short-gag one-shot from Zero-Sum Ward. I got a giggle out of it 🙂 It’s only 8 pages so there’s not much to say about it.  If you like RPGs, this will be extra enjoyable!Link to “Please Leave, Hero!”: (PDF) I am learning to love the second “e” in “heroes”. I don’t know what’s next up, but I guarantee that it won’t depress you ;p Continue reading Zero-Sum Ward One-Shot: "Please Leave, Hero!"

Happy Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Bride on Loan" by Ririko Tsujita

I know I said the next one-shot would be gloomy and hella messed up, but things got out of order, and this one-shot is ready to be released instead.  This is actually a good thing because I wanted to break up the gloom. This is a short light-hearted one-shot.  Since Ririko Tsujita is a new mangaka for me, I had a hard time with her writing style.  I’d like to thank Amrai for the helping me with the translation.  Tsujita-sensei, apparently, doesn’t like letting people know who’s talking and what specifically they are talking about…sigh…well…I guess this one-shot was a … Continue reading Happy Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Bride on Loan" by Ririko Tsujita

Omari’s Sister 3rd Anniversary Celebration Begins! One-Shot: "Wild Wing" by Yumi Kiiro

First of all, a teaser for our new series coming in June. Linky-link! Omari’s Sister started doing scanlations back on June 26, 2009.  At that time it was a one-person group and the first project was Ouran High School Host Club chapter 71. I only did that scanlation because I was tired of waiting for chapters to be released. I had no intention of taking this any further. But then true to shoujo scanlation culture, some friction arose over Ouran and the prideful and stubborn side of me took hold and I continued on with Ouran. I admit at that … Continue reading Omari’s Sister 3rd Anniversary Celebration Begins! One-Shot: "Wild Wing" by Yumi Kiiro

"Magnolia" Chp 22

Update:  If you are having problems viewing this file, please upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 8 or above).  Just this once, I have re-crunched the file so it is compatible with version 6 and above.  If you are using some other PDF reader, all bets are off moving forward. This is the last time I will crunch a file to be viewed by an ancient version of Acrobat. This seems like a bridge chapter to the next story arc.  Not much new is revealed in this chapter, but it’s necessary to cement some of the … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chp 22

"Magnolia" Chapter 21

At last we make a big move in the story! And Nagi’s suffering intensifies. Poor, poor Nagi.  Hmm…what’s Vincent up to? I haven’t decided whether he’s suspicious or not. So far he seems like a really nice but tragic figure. Thanks to Ichi for some great redraws 🙂 And now onto the links!Link to “Magnolia” Chp 21:  (PDF) Next up is a special Spring one-shot.  This one-shot kinda goes against the kind of story we like to do at Omari’s Sister, but I couldn’t past up the story and the art. Oh! And please support Omari’s Sister by purchasing some … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 21
