Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Kachuu no Ou" ("The Flowering King")

K3

Here is a one-shot from Yuki Kure (“La Corda Oro”).  This is very different from La Corda and her other one-shots.  I liked it a lot because it seemed more mature than her other works.  I really wish this was a two or three part mini-series because I would have liked to have seen more of the two main characters’ back story.  Oh well…Update:  12/12/2011:  Updated the title after some thought.  I think this captures the spirit of “kachuu” more. Anyhow…here are the links! Links to “Kachuu no Ou”: (Zip) (PDF) Next up!  Haha!  There are a few things close … Continue reading Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Kachuu no Ou" ("The Flowering King")

Shiro Lala One-shot: "The Wizard and the Love Potion"

K3

This is a really sweet one-shot.  As of now this is tied with “Dinner in my Coffin” as my favorite Shiro Lala one-shot.  This one-shot had tough redraws on nearly every page, so I would like to thank Ichigo Stars and Kumiko for all the work they put in to make the release of this one-shot possible.  It’s beautiful, you guys!  I really appreciate it. This one-shot plays with fairytale troupes.  It feels very familiar, but I think this one-shot was well done, so I enjoyed the “remix”.  If you haven’t read Toyota Yuu’s other one-shot “The Honeybee Earl and … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-shot: "The Wizard and the Love Potion"

Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Ginsekai no Shoumei" by Akiduki Sorata

K3

Here is Akiduki Sorata’s Shiro Lala one-shot “Ginsekai no Shoumei” (“The Snowscape’s Emblem”).  The image above is a scan of one of the freebie post cards.  The large size image (click on the image to see it larger) can be used as wallpaper on your PC or mobile. A note about the spelling of “Akiduki”.  A few people have asked me about the change in the spelling.  I had been spelling it “Akidzuki” and “Akizuki” is another common spelling.  The mangaka herself began romanizing her name and the titles of her works a few months ago.  Whether right or wrong, … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Ginsekai no Shoumei" by Akiduki Sorata

Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Dinner in My Coffin" by Nari Kusakawa

K3

How could I resist a one-shot with a title page like this!?  It’s soooo pretty!  This is actually a scan of the one of the post cards that comes with Shiro Lala.  The other post cards are a clean version of the Shiro Lala cover (Akiduki Sorata’s drawing from her one-shot) and “Wild Wing”.  But I digress…the idea of an all white vampire is cool.  I like the white bats too.  The concept is very nice and different. I really liked this one-shot.  It felt very mature for what’s usually in Lala, without being “adult”.  I wish there were more … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Dinner in My Coffin" by Nari Kusakawa

Shiro Lala One-Shot: "The Sullen Baker and Me"

K3

This unexpectedly became the first one-shot we released from Shiro Lala.  Please forgive us if you’ve already read this from Mousou Scans.  We were well on our way to completing this one-shot when they released it, but I didn’t want to waste the cleaning and redrawing work that had already been done and we did announce our intention to do this one-shot weeks back, so I decided to just crank this out now since it’s short. Anyhow, this one-shot is very different than what we are used to from Matsuri Hino.  It’s a very simple story and the character designs … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "The Sullen Baker and Me"

Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Kokoro Rental"

K3

Here’s a one-shot from a mangaka that’s new to me named Chise Hano.  This story has the same campy horror funness as “The Doll Rebirth Workshop”.  Once again, we have another plain girl who sells her soul to the devil.  Hahaha!  I was laughing heartily when I first saw this one-shot.  It’s so ridiculous.  I’d like to the thank Jade for doing a wonderful translation and English adaptation and I’d like to thank the rest of the Omari’s Sister team who worked on this for lightening the load on me.  You all did a beautiful job :). And now for … Continue reading Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Kokoro Rental"

Halloween One-shot #2: "The Grim Transfer Students"

K3

Here is our second Halloween one-shot.  I’ve been holding onto this one for about a year.  It came out just after Halloween last year, so I waited an entire year to put this out at the right time.  The title of this one-shot is “Kuro Tenkousei” or literally, “The Black Transfer Students”. To my American ear, that title sounds very wrong and totally misleading, so I decided to use a synonym for black that captured what the story is truly about.  The word “grim” seemed to fit best, so “The Grim Transfer Students” it is. I was originally going to … Continue reading Halloween One-shot #2: "The Grim Transfer Students"

Halloween One-Shot #1: "In the Mirror of Death"

K3

Here is our big Halloween one-shot!  It’s “In the Mirror of Death” by Fujiwara Hiro, the same artist who draws/writes “Kaichou wa Maid-sama”.  This feels very different that KWMS which was a pleasant surprise. Oh!  And this one-shot debuts our newest Omari’s Sister translator!  Let us welcome Jade!  She did a wonderful job on her first project.  Haha!  It was rather brutal of me to give her a 72-page one-shot as an introduction to this group.  I’m such a bad kitty!  I would also like to thank Holanio for typesetting.  This gave me time to catch up on some other … Continue reading Halloween One-Shot #1: "In the Mirror of Death"
