Here is Akizuki Sorata’s latest one-shot, “Lullaby for a Dragon”. I think this one-shot is visually gorgeous and the main character Kito is interesting.

It feels like it’s been forever since a release! UGH!! Lala DX arrived 2-days later than expected, so I spent the time waiting working on other projects. This means we will have a bunch of releases coming in rapid succession. Anyhow…here is the latest adventure from Ogura Akane! It’s about pirates so I’m quite pleased and had a lot of fun with the translation. It sounds like this may be Ogura-sensei’s next series — or so I hope :).

We had originally planned to release this one-shot a little over the week ago, but there was a duplication with Turtle Paradise so I cancelled it even though it was almost ready. But we talked it over within the group and received some encouragement from Turtle Paradise and, as a result, I decided to go ahead and finish it and release it. Suzume, Ichigo Stars, and I spent too much time cleaning and redrawing the images to let the work go to waste. This one-shot is more about the artist style than the story for me, although the end is … Continue reading One-Shot: "Twelve o’Clock Bell Rings"
I love stories with handsome rogues, mysterious women, moonlit nights, and stolen treasure. Ah, yes, the romance of it all is the best and, in my humble opinion, this one-shot delivers. Sigh…I would love this one-shot to be translated into a live action or animated movie. It would be so beautiful! Don’t have many deep thoughts about this one-shots. It’s just a confections to enjoy. I do wonder whether calling the main character “Jin Tonic” is a little bit of call back to “King of Bandits Jing”. In that series all the “Jing Girls” were named after mixed drinks. I … Continue reading One-Shot: "3 Hearts" by Ichinose Kaoru
I suspect after this chapter, Sui is going to gain some new fans. I didn’t expect to see a different side of Sui, so this chapter was a happy surprise and I heap praise upon Naked Ape for developing Sui this way. Oh! And thanks to Ichigo Stars for help with the title page! Links to Magnolia Chapter 10: (Zip) (PDF) Spoiler Alert! Spoilers Ahead! My Thoughts on this Chapter: Sui…oh my…so, can we also have the side series “Sui” or maybe just a short omake? So…why can Ayato abdicate so Sui can be king? What’s going on with … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 10 — Beefcake! Beefcake!
Finally! Here is our big spring one-shot “Nanairo no Mukou”. I’ve been wanting to translate this one-shot since it came out, but 74-pages seemed way too daunting. I’m very proud that we were able to complete this one-shot in a … Continue reading One-Shot: "Nanairo no Mukou" ("The Other Side of the Rainbow")
It’s been a busy past few days. First a planned real-life thing happened and then an unplanned family emergency happened. Fortunately, all is well and life is back to normal. Anyhow, here is “Magnolia” chapter 9. There’s a nice little flashback in the beginning that confirms many of our suspicions and then we get on to fun with Hollier. Hopefully those people who were initially put off by Hollier will warm up to her by the end of this chapter. She’s good girl with good intentions. And now the links:Links to “Magnolia” Chapter 9: (Zip) (PDF — tablets and mobile) … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 9
