Ouran High School Host Club Chp 81 Previews

K3

I decided to break up the previews and the project announcement into two separate postings.  The project posting won’t be finished until tomorrow because it requires a lot of detailed work.  Anyhow, here are the previews from Lala magazine. Update 7/28/2010 — the only Ouran freebie I can confirm is the drama CD that is coming with Lala 10. —————————————————– It looks like there will be at least 3 (including chapter 81) more chapters and with each chapter starting at issue 10 there will be a special Ouran freebie included inside Lala magazine.  The first freebie will be a CD … Continue reading Ouran High School Host Club Chp 81 Previews

English Licensed Manga Removed from Aggregator Sites

K3

Well, it’s begun…So far I’ve noticed that series licensed by Viz have been removed from MangaFox.  Good for Viz!  I know some of you who read scanlations are quite upset and I feel bad for those of you who cannot access these series without scanlation.  Viz, though, has to protect its market in the US. Hopefully, once the manga aggregators purge their sites of licensed series, the pressure will be relieved and we can continue to enjoy series that are new outside-of-Japan or too niche-y to license outside of Japan.———————-Update:  It’s interesting to see what manga/manhwa rose to the top … Continue reading English Licensed Manga Removed from Aggregator Sites

"Kimi ni XOXO" Teaser

K3

Here’s a short preview of  “Kimi ni XOXO!” The section I am previewing is at the transition from the lackluster sweetness of the middle-beginning (the very beginning is very funny) to the funny and spunky goodness of the second half.  I hope you enjoy it and I hope it gets you to anticipate the chapter in its entirety.  Please excuse any typos or errors you see. This has yet to go under any quality check and is subject to be a little different in the final version. The truth of matters is that the fairy-like creature name “Echo” salvages this … Continue reading "Kimi ni XOXO" Teaser

"Seirei Produce" Update

K3

I can’t sleep ’cause my stomach’s rumbly, so I did a quick read of the first chapter of “Seirei Produce.”  Basically, 16-year old Momose Shina meets a couple of strange guys in a park.  One of them is dressed in a kimono and asks if she believes in God.  Shina thinks he’s a proselytizing weirdo and tries to get away from the guy in the kimono.  A little later, Shina gets very tired to the point of barely being able to move and she looks so sick that strangers are taking pity on her.  She goes to rest on a … Continue reading "Seirei Produce" Update

Ouran Chp 80 Teaser

K3

I’m working as much as I can this weekend on Ouran chapter 80.  I can’t devote all my time to this weekend to Ouran because I do have a life and husband and we want to go to the movies. (Yesterday, we went on a fun day trip to see the desert blooms).  Anyhow…as I do with the other series, here’s a preview/teaser of Ouran chapter 80.  I will be done cleaning and editing the chapter soon.  I am, though, sticking with the target completion date of 4/30 until I have a clearer estimation of when it will be done. … Continue reading Ouran Chp 80 Teaser

Raw Paradise Shut Down

K3

Here’s a blog entry about it from another scanlation group.  They also suggest an idea I support.  I believe manga should be available in electronic form and I believe the Japanese publishers should pay for translation services from folks like me so they can have near real time translation of ALL of the manga series in English.  I believe you all should be paying some small amount (or be subjected to advertisement) to read your favorite manga series so mangakas can continue to bring you great stories and art and translators can earn some money to continue translation (rather than … Continue reading Raw Paradise Shut Down
