"Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 14

Two more chapters after this! Some of you are gonna need a tissue or two by the end of this chapter.  I did —  but it was only because I felt protective of my two favorite characters in this series. Anyhow, I’m trying for finish this series before “Bioshock: Infinite” comes out. If the game is as good as reported, then I might disappear for a little while. Onto the release!Links to “Kemono Kingdom: Zoo” Chapter 14: (Zip) (PDF) Next up will be Chapter 15 tomorrow! Continue reading "Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 14

"Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 13

There are now three chapters left! In this chapter we finally meet Lion’s family and Tiger. Looking back, I now wonder whether those other lions were Lion’s mother and sisters all along.  Haha! Anyhow…tiger…yeah…he’s a bit troublesome. The way he’s described reminds me of actually trying to see a tiger at the San Diego Zoo or Safari Park. In my many visits to both places, I have yet to see a tiger. They are always well hidden from visitors’ eyes. I wonder if this is the case at other zoos. Anyhow, things continue to go sideways in this chapter T_T.  … Continue reading "Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 13

"Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 12

Marching down the chapters! There are now 4 more left (and a short prologue). I don’t want to say much about this chapter because toward the end it gets very different than the series has been.  When I picked up the series, I didn’t expect this kind of change, but it’s a very nice, emotional, and thought provoking final arc. And here’s the release!Links to “Kemono Kingdom: Zoo” Chapter 12: (Zip) (PDF) Next up will be chapter 13 tomorrow or Saturday. Continue reading "Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 12

"Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 11

We begin again our sequential release of “Kemono Kingdom: Zoo”.  All of the chapters have been translated, so the series will be completely released by the end of next week, barring any disasters on my end. If you understand the subtext of what’s going on in the chapter, it’s a very raunchy chapter. I was laughing so hard while translating this chapter. There is one particular joke in this chapter that’s based on a silly stereotype.  Please don’t get offended by this joke because it’s meant to be fun. This chapter also is the beginning of the final story arc. … Continue reading "Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 11

"Kemono Kingdom" Chapter 9

First of all, thanks to all of the supporters of this series. Your encouragement fuels me :3. I will do my best to finish this series with care. Marching down the chapters, here’s chapter 9 of “Kemono Kingdom: Zoo”. This chapter centers around Barbary Sheep’s tween anxiety. Barbary Sheep is adorable and I wouldn’t mind having a BSheep doll or plushy. Underlying this whole story is a discussion of Eagle and Lion’s relationship, which will continue into chapter 10.  After chapter 10 we finally move into a story arc and things turn very dramatic (but still with humor). We are … Continue reading "Kemono Kingdom" Chapter 9

"Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 8

It’s been well over a year since we released a chapter of “Kemono Kingdom: Zoo”.  Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone but Silver Lunar and I even cares.  Oh well… “Zoo” is not everyone. Despite having no audience, I can’t bring myself to drop the series because I like it a lot. I think if you can get past the first two chapters, you’ll see its charms too.  Lion and Eagle’s relationship is the best bromance and I love all of the side characters. I’ve decided to accelerate this series do we can check it off our to-do list. There’s no … Continue reading "Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 8

Halloween Oneshot: "Kanojo no Kare" ("Her Boyfriend") by Tomo Maeda

This may be my favorite short-oneshot so far.  What do I consider short? 20 pages and under. Anyhow…I love the artwork and the story is deceptively beautiful until you give it another read through and a second thought. Then that moment will come when you realize how freaky and messed up this oneshot truly is.  It’s an elegant mind-****.  Kudos to Tomo Maeda! This is the second short oneshot I selected from Horror Wings 2011.  I wish we could have explored Horror Wings 2011 and 2012 further, but I got the collections too late to do any more than this … Continue reading Halloween Oneshot: "Kanojo no Kare" ("Her Boyfriend") by Tomo Maeda
