Oneshot: "Ongaku ga Mieru Otoko" ("The Man who Could See Music") by Tsukiji Nao

FINALLY!!! It’s done! Tsukiji Nao oneshots are a pain in the butt to letter. This oneshot in particular had A LOT of text and sound effects.  A big thanks goes out Kaito and Aricania for lettering this project. Also, a HUGE thanks to Jade for translating all that text!  The English adaptation is GORGEOUS!  Hooray for Jade!!! I think she really nailed this one! This comes from the “Haikyo Shoujo” collection too. As you’ll notice all the oneshots from that collection are connected by junk piles/ruins and hallucinations. This oneshot, in particular, has a nice life lesson — one I … Continue reading Oneshot: "Ongaku ga Mieru Otoko" ("The Man who Could See Music") by Tsukiji Nao

Happy 4th Anniversary!!! Oneshot: ‘Boushi no Ue no Oka" ("The Hill on Top of the Hat") by Tsukiji Nao

Hooray! We saved the best for last, or at the very least, my favorite of the oneshots we’ve done for this celebration. Not only is Tsukiji Nao a favorite of the group for her artwork, but her storytelling is  masterful … Continue reading Happy 4th Anniversary!!!

Oneshot: "Tansu Shoujo" ("Chest of Drawers Girl") by Tsukiji Nao

This is one of the oneshots from Tsukiji Nao’s “Haikyo Shoujo” oneshot compilation.  We were going to translate the actual “Haikyo Shoujo” oneshot, but two other groups have already done it.  If you would like to read the full compilation, then please read the “Haikyo Shoujo” oneshot here (LINK) and we will be releasing the other two oneshots this week. Thanks to Blotty Parchment for translating this oneshot. It’s a lovely read and probably more of what you all were expecting from Tsukiji Nao, though I would say Tsukiji Nao’s stories all have a twist rather call them “twisted”.  I … Continue reading Oneshot: "Tansu Shoujo" ("Chest of Drawers Girl") by Tsukiji Nao

Oneshot: "Zakka ni Umoreta Otome" ("The Maiden Buried Under Novelties") by Nao Tsukiji

First I would like to say Nao Tsukiji’s oneshots are amazing both in terms of artwork and storytelling. Second I would like to say that we are never doing a Nao Tsukiji marathon again! Each oneshot is A LOT of work to translate and letter. Haha, from now on we will translate her works one at a time with long breaks in between. We will resume work on the “Kiniro Kishi” compilation in August. It includes two more two-part oneshots. Let’s get started with a short oneshot from the oneshot compilation  “Kiniro Kishi” (“Golden Knight”). Basically, there’s pretty all over … Continue reading Oneshot: "Zakka ni Umoreta Otome" ("The Maiden Buried Under Novelties") by Nao Tsukiji

"Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 16 and Epilogue

At last! The final chapter! (And the epilogue!) This is a bitter-sweet occasion for me.  I love finishing projects, but at the same time, I’ll miss the “Kemono Kingdom” characters a lot. Thanks to the Omari’s Sister crew for getting this series done.  A special thanks goes out to Kurohaineko and Martina for the last minute help this month. This acceleration wouldn’t have happened without their help. Also, thanks to Mochi-sensei for giving us all a wonderful story with lovable characters. And thanks to the diehard fans who cheered us along during this final push. Your encourage meant a lot … Continue reading "Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 16 and Epilogue

"Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 15

One more chapter left! Chapter 16 and the prologue will be released together tomorrow or Tuesday. In this chapter we come down to the big Lion vs. King Lion showdown. The fight climaxes in typical “Kemono Kingdom: Zoo” fashion which made me extremely happy. Well, let’s get on with the release!Links to “Kemono Kingdom: Zoo” Chapter 15: (Zip)(PDF) Next up will be the last chapter of Zoo and the short epilogue.  After that, will come “Magnolia”, “Pochamani” Chapter 6, “Ore to Atashi no Kareshisama” chapter 4 and the rest of “Furou Kyoudai.” After that, we will start the acceleration of … Continue reading "Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 15
