Happy Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Bride on Loan" by Ririko Tsujita

I know I said the next one-shot would be gloomy and hella messed up, but things got out of order, and this one-shot is ready to be released instead.  This is actually a good thing because I wanted to break up the gloom. This is a short light-hearted one-shot.  Since Ririko Tsujita is a new mangaka for me, I had a hard time with her writing style.  I’d like to thank Amrai for the helping me with the translation.  Tsujita-sensei, apparently, doesn’t like letting people know who’s talking and what specifically they are talking about…sigh…well…I guess this one-shot was a … Continue reading Happy Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Bride on Loan" by Ririko Tsujita

Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Tsuki no Kanon" (The Moon’s Canon") by Ken Saitou

First of all, I’d like to thank Amrai for translating this.  Amrai’s relatively new to the group.  She’s the translator for AnS, Ojou-sama no Untenshu, and many of our one-shots.  Her ability to make sense of Akidzuki Sorata’s word-salad never ceases to amaze me! The happy times and comedy lasted only for a short time.  Now we are back to the drama.  This story is more pathetic and rant worthy than it is sad and tear-jerking.  If you’ve been following the conversation in the chatbox, you know what I’m talking about.  This story really raised the hackles of the OS … Continue reading Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Tsuki no Kanon" (The Moon’s Canon") by Ken Saitou

One-Shot: "Assassin Red Riding Hood"

Here’s a wee-bit of stoopid to make up for all the dreary from the last two one-shots.  This is more like a one-shot for Bakeneko’s Lair, but since I reintegrated that, this one-shot appears here.  I like stories that are parodies of Fairy Tales.  This is a short one-shot that appeared in Zero-Sum Ward magazine, so it’s on the shounen side of the manga spectrum. Oh, and it’s only 10-pages! So it’s a quick read :). Onto the link! Link to “Assassin Red Riding Hood”: (PDF) (If the PDF doesn’t open in your browser, download the files to your hard … Continue reading One-Shot: "Assassin Red Riding Hood"

One-Shot: "See You Again" by Junko Ike

I’m starting to notice a running theme in these Shiro Lala one-shots.  I imagine it’s because in Japanese culture white is associated with death, which is an opposite notion for Westerners.  If you’re still recovering from “Souai Metaphysica”, then perhaps you ought to wait a day or two before reading this one-shot.  It’s a short one-shot, but it packs a lot of punch for 16 pages.  I think this one-shot ends on a better note than “Souai”, but still…sigh…haha!  Unfortunately, the next chapter of AnS is not gonna pull us out of the sorrow hole :(.  But don’t worry, the … Continue reading One-Shot: "See You Again" by Junko Ike

One-Shot: "Souai Metaphysica" ("Mutual Love Metaphysica") by Mikase Hayashi

You might want to get out a couple of tissues for this one-shot. I had a hard time completing the translation because I started bawling halfway through.  I’m a sucker for stories about unrequited love and for some reason the whole notion makes me incredibly sad.  This is a beautiful one-shot, and I hope you all enjoy it.  We will release Hayashi-sensei’s other one-shot from Kuro Lala within the month, so look out for it. Onto the link!Link to “Souai Metaphysica”: (PDF) Tomorrow, a short one-shot will be released and followed most likely by AnS Chp 34.

Special Spring One-Shot: "Bye Bye Rain" by Shiki Awafuji

This one-shot is from Hana to Yume magazine so the original image quality is crap.  We did the best we could with what we had, but still I apologize that the images are not as crisp as I like them to be (although those of you with iPad 2s and 3s and iPhone 4s’s will not see the horror — those devices make anything look great!).  Anyhow, view the PDF at ~65% zoom to get the best image quality. As I wrote earlier, we at Omari’s Sister don’t particularly like to do projects or work with big age gaps. However, … Continue reading Special Spring One-Shot: "Bye Bye Rain" by Shiki Awafuji

One-Shot: "The Most Beautiful Name in the World" by Yuu Toyota

At last, a release!!!  I can’t believe that it’s nearly been 2 weeks since we’ve released something.  It’s not for lack of doing anything.  We’ve been quite busy.  I myself had to prep a couple of projects for lettering before I get to this one-shot and last week I was nearly useless because RL made me depressed and sleepy. Anyhow, here’s another one-shot from one of our favorite mangaka Yuu Toyota.  This one is a quite bittersweet unlike the other one-shots. Still it’s a lovely story and fits very well with her other one-shots.And now onto the link! Link to … Continue reading One-Shot: "The Most Beautiful Name in the World" by Yuu Toyota

One Shot: "Complete Story of Meg the Thief" ("Kaitou Magu no Ichibushijuu") by Nari Kusakawa

First of all I would like to thank Jade and Amrai for taking on the challenge of translating this one-shot.  This was probably the hardest one-shot we’ve ever taken on and I’m happy that we fought through it to get to a good result.  I’d also like to thank Noir Schist for her wonderful image editing and lettering. Oh!  And Ichi’s miraculous redraws too!  Great work team! And now onto the one-shot.  Not much to say here other than this is another wonderful one-shot from Nari Kusakawa and really like Ulric.  He’s awesome! It’s too bad this is a one-shot.  … Continue reading One Shot: "Complete Story of Meg the Thief" ("Kaitou Magu no Ichibushijuu") by Nari Kusakawa
