  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!

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

Whoo-hoo!  It’s “Magnolia” Chapter 8!  But first I must make a sales pitch for the first volume of “Magnolia” which goes on sale in Japan on March 7th.

Poor, poor Nagi…is it real or a spell?  Chapter 7 is short, but it’s a real treat for Nagi x Ayato fans.  Personally, I just like Nagi.   This is my favorite cover image so far.  Ayato looks like he/she is being nuzzled by her big brother, but big brother is looking quite possessive and un-big brother-like.  Try getting through that Yugo! Links to “Magnolia” Chapter 7:  (Zip) (PDF) Warning:  Spoilers Ahead My thoughts on the chapter — The obvious question I already asked:  is Nagi is under a spell or are these Nagi’s true feelings?  Personally, I think poor Nagi’s … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 7

It’s another cruel chapter of “Magnolia”…this one is only 28 pages and as one of my proofreaders pointed out, the second page is a repeat. Boo! But it’s a really good chapter and sets up for what I hope to be a thrilling volume 2. Links to Magnolia Chapter 6:  (Zip)(PDF) Spoilers Ahead — My thoughts on the chapter:Poor, poor, Nagi.  Nothing good can come of this for him.  Ayato is nutz, Yugo is relentless, and poor Nagi has his own heart to worry about.  But I think that’s what makes this situation delicious.  What is poor Nagi going to … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 6

One agonizing wait is over only to begin another.  The mental well being of a Magnolia fan is never good.  Hahaha!  We finally get the answer to how Ayato’s Dad reacts to Ayato dressed as a woman.  The reaction, in general, is as I expected, but I didn’t anticipate the extent of the reaction.  Needless to say, I was quite pleased by the whole scene.  Thank you Naked Ape for exceeding my expectations! Links to Magnolia Chp 5:  (Zip) (PDF) I made a small update to “Magnolia” chapter 2 that has some impact to the story.  I think there was … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 5

I weep no more for the ending of “Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen” because another has come to walk in Johanne’s shoes.  Bless you Naked Ape for giving us Yugo! Links to “Magnolia Chapter 4”  (Zip) (PDF) Note:  A slight change to the translation was made to a flash back to chapter 2.  Chapter 2 has been updated accordingly. Chapter 5 can’t come soon enough!  AUGH!!!  I’m suffering!!!!  I hope we find out who Lily’s guy is soon.  Is he royalty, military, a gigolo or some random party crasher? Next up is a double release of “Orange Chocolate” because chapter 18 and … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 4
