"Magnolia" Chapter 20

K3

Shame on you proofreaders for making Ichi waiting after she tireless cleaned, scrubbed, and redrew this entire chapter!  The poor girl had to look at this juicy chapter and see things she couldn’t unsee without knowing what the hell these shocking events actually were! Hahaha!  Thanks proofreaders for finally pitching in :).  I know you all had St. Patrick’s Day parties to go to and you’re all bleary-eyed from too many shamrock shakes. AUGH!!! This chapter!!!  Naked Ape you are killing me with goodness!!!  Many thanks for this wonderful series!  Unfortunately, I can’t say much about this chapter without spoiling … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 20

"Magnolia" Chapter 19

K3

Nagi’s taking off the gloves…hee!  I think “Lost Lamb” describes Nagi’s situation in this chapter more than “beast”.  Hahaha!  This chapter is such a tease!  Still it’s fun to see Nagi suffer sweetly.  He makes a great martyr.This chapter ends the Tea Party arc.  I suppose in  the next chapter we’ll get to see what happens the night after the tea party or the next day after the tea party.  Personally, I think it’s time for some Ayato x Nagi time.  Ayato needs to have a heart-to-heart with somebody.  In the end, I’d say that outside of family, Nagi is … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 19

As you can see on this title page, “Ao no Rhapsodia”, a collection of Akane Ogura’s one-shots is now available for purchase.  I have a copy and we will be translating some of the one-shots.  If you wish to purchase your own copy, here are some links: Amazon JP Yes Asia I can also piggyback order it for you ($8.50 + postage).  If you are interested, send me an e-mail.

"Magnolia" Chp 18

K3

First if of all, I must say Naked Ape does some of the loveliest cover and title page art out there.  I’m always excited when they have color pages.  I really wish they would release a Magnolia calendar.  I really like the colors on this illustration.  The composition really brings out the green of Ayato’s eyes.We continue with the tea party in this chapter.  A warning to Hugo haters:  you are going to want to put your fist through your monitor before the end of this chapter.  Hugo is especially dog-like…well, more like a male slut.  He’s a terrible guy … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chp 18

One-Shot: "Komugi and the Cuisine of the World Boys"

K3

At last, we finally get this one-shot out!  We wanted to release this as our special Thanksgiving one-shot, but it got lost in the excitement of Kuro Lala and Shiro Lala.  Please forgive me Cuisine Boys!  This was a joint project with The Zero Alliance, so head over to their website if you prefer RAR files. As you can guess, this one-shot is about food and magical boys who cook food.  How could I resist?  It turned out to be a much sweeter story that I anticipated (as most stories thing do — haha).  Regardless, it was a pleasant surprise.Oh, … Continue reading One-Shot: "Komugi and the Cuisine of the World Boys"

Amazon Japan via Naked Ape’s Amazon Storefront:(Volume 3 only) (Volume 3 + Drama CD) Yes Asia:(Volume 3) (Volume 3 + Drama CD) Since I didn’t know Volume 3 came with the Drama CD, I … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 17
