Oneshot: "Junketsu Diablos" ("Pure Dialblos") by Chie Shimada

K3

This is a oneshot we’ve been slowly completing for at least 2 years. It feels like the pilot for a longer series that never happened.  Not sure how that would work, seeing as how one of the suitors in the love triangle is a Catholic Priest.  But… it’s not like Catholicism is understood in Japan.  Anyhow… what happened to the cats is kinda disturbing, and beyond that, this oneshot is honestly kinda mediocre. I think a clearer distinction should have be drawn between the priest and the demon. I think the oneshot’s shortcomings are probably due to a cultural mismatch … Continue reading Oneshot: "Junketsu Diablos" ("Pure Dialblos") by Chie Shimada

Short Oneshot: "Sayonara Kodomotachi" ("Farewell Children") by Satoshi Morie

Continuing on with our releases, here’s a new oneshot from Satoshi Morie. I don’t want to say much about it, other than I found it shocking and incredibly sweet at the same time.  I like Satoshi Morie’s oneshots a lot, so look out for more of them in the future.  Hopefully we will release her latest oneshot toward the end of the month. And now onto the release!Links to “Sayonara Kodomotachi”: (PDF) (Zip) Next up will be another short oneshot!

Halloween Oneshot 2: "Hoshi wa Akatsuki no Kage" (The Stars are the Dawn’s Shadow) by Nari Kusakawa

K3

Happy Halloween everybody! If you’re going out trick-or-treating or taking your kids out trick-or-treating, please stay safe. Take a flashlight and stay on the sidewalks. Here’s our Halloween oneshot! It’s the final part of Nari Kusakawa’s Vampire Trilogy! This has been a lovely journey through time.  I hope some other mangaka do some related stories like this and “The Lovely Vampire Weddings” trilogy. This story is about Aurelia, the vampire who bit Ashleigh and Kiriko.  It’s kinda sad to see how she was compared to how she is in “Tasogare Renren”.  It kinda makes me wonder about Kiriko’s future. Anyhow, … Continue reading Halloween Oneshot 2: "Hoshi wa Akatsuki no Kage" (The Stars are the Dawn’s Shadow) by Nari Kusakawa

Long-Form Oneshot: "Tasogare Renren" ("Longing for Dusk") by Nari Kusakawa

K3

This oneshot originally appeared as the feature oneshot in Aka Lala last year.  We’ve been sitting on it for a while and finally got up the courage to take it on a couple of weeks ago.  It helped that the oneshot was released in the “Boku no Hitsugi de Bansan wo” (“Shall we have Dinner in my Coffin”) short story compilation.  Having the tankoubon version saved us a lot of time cleaning. On a side note, included in the short story compilation are “Boku no Hitsugi de Bansan wo” and “Shinobigoto“, both of which we have already translated. Please check … Continue reading Long-Form Oneshot: "Tasogare Renren" ("Longing for Dusk") by Nari Kusakawa
