S&M Oneshot: "Sakashima" by Amuji Nanakumo

And now for a change of pace.  This is an S & M oneshot but it’s very tame. It’s very psychological and the there is very little violence. There are a few more psychological oneshots planned for this fall. This is probably the least freaky one, so watch out for them. Oh! I forgot! This was translated by Devlynne Sloth, the newest translator at Crimson Flower.  Let’s all welcome Devlynne! And now onto the release! Links to “Sakashima”: (PDF) (Zip) Next up will be “Rex Fabula” Chapter 12! Continue reading S&M Oneshot: "Sakashima" by Amuji Nanakumo

Oneshot: "Fugitto Amor" by Shiina Dai

So… the recent oneshots and series from The Hana to Yume (Hakusensha) have been opening my eyes to what an age gap love story can be. They don’t have to be about manipulation or older men chasing after teenagers or little girls, or the inverse.  Rather age gap stories can be pure and sweet and about deeper connections than sex.  This is a simple and amazing love story. What’s more amazing is that something that was only 14 pages long brought me to tears and reminded me of all the wonderful things love can be. I don’t know if you’ll … Continue reading Oneshot: "Fugitto Amor" by Shiina Dai

Oneshot: "Ongaku ga Mieru Otoko" ("The Man who Could See Music") by Tsukiji Nao

FINALLY!!! It’s done! Tsukiji Nao oneshots are a pain in the butt to letter. This oneshot in particular had A LOT of text and sound effects.  A big thanks goes out Kaito and Aricania for lettering this project. Also, a HUGE thanks to Jade for translating all that text!  The English adaptation is GORGEOUS!  Hooray for Jade!!! I think she really nailed this one! This comes from the “Haikyo Shoujo” collection too. As you’ll notice all the oneshots from that collection are connected by junk piles/ruins and hallucinations. This oneshot, in particular, has a nice life lesson — one I … Continue reading Oneshot: "Ongaku ga Mieru Otoko" ("The Man who Could See Music") by Tsukiji Nao

Happy 4th Anniversary!!! Oneshot: ‘Boushi no Ue no Oka" ("The Hill on Top of the Hat") by Tsukiji Nao

Hooray! We saved the best for last, or at the very least, my favorite of the oneshots we’ve done for this celebration. Not only is Tsukiji Nao a favorite of the group for her artwork, but her storytelling is  masterful … Continue reading Happy 4th Anniversary!!!

Oneshot: "Tansu Shoujo" ("Chest of Drawers Girl") by Tsukiji Nao

This is one of the oneshots from Tsukiji Nao’s “Haikyo Shoujo” oneshot compilation.  We were going to translate the actual “Haikyo Shoujo” oneshot, but two other groups have already done it.  If you would like to read the full compilation, then please read the “Haikyo Shoujo” oneshot here (LINK) and we will be releasing the other two oneshots this week. Thanks to Blotty Parchment for translating this oneshot. It’s a lovely read and probably more of what you all were expecting from Tsukiji Nao, though I would say Tsukiji Nao’s stories all have a twist rather call them “twisted”.  I … Continue reading Oneshot: "Tansu Shoujo" ("Chest of Drawers Girl") by Tsukiji Nao

Oneshot: "Zakka ni Umoreta Otome" ("The Maiden Buried Under Novelties") by Nao Tsukiji

First I would like to say Nao Tsukiji’s oneshots are amazing both in terms of artwork and storytelling. Second I would like to say that we are never doing a Nao Tsukiji marathon again! Each oneshot is A LOT of work to translate and letter. Haha, from now on we will translate her works one at a time with long breaks in between. We will resume work on the “Kiniro Kishi” compilation in August. It includes two more two-part oneshots. Let’s get started with a short oneshot from the oneshot compilation  “Kiniro Kishi” (“Golden Knight”). Basically, there’s pretty all over … Continue reading Oneshot: "Zakka ni Umoreta Otome" ("The Maiden Buried Under Novelties") by Nao Tsukiji
