"Magnolia" Chp 25

First of all a bit of business.  The Omari’s Sister end-of-summer sale is going on now.  There are still lots of great items and books left to buy.  Please check it out here (Link). A big thanks to those of you who have already made purchases. With the money raised this round, Omari’s Sister is self sustaining for another 4 months!  Hooray!!!  Just as an interesting side note: this time around about 75% of the purchases were made by folks outside of the US. Hello, worldly people!  I’m glad to make your acquaintance! Yes, I do ship Internationally, and as … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chp 25

"Magnolia" Chapter 24

Oh Nagi, what evil pills has Vincent given to you?! No don’t take them!!! Nagi!!! This is a very short chapter and most of it is flashback. It seems that Naked Ape is going to get the most out of Queen Angela’s letter.  But I understand…they’re busy.  They’ve got two series running in Zero-Sum magazine and private works they offer through their own website. Anyhow…enjoy the 30-seconds of pleasure!Link to “Magnolia” chapter 24: (PDF) Next up…I don’t know.  We are currently working on “Servamp” chapter 3, “The Day I Kissed a Whale”, “Summer Blue,” and the “Pochama ni” prequel one-shot.

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

"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

"Magnolia" Chapter 20

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

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

"Magnolia" Chp 18

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
