New Short Series: "Danshi Gurashi" Chapter 1 by Mai Mishikata

We’ve been sitting on this short series for a while. We finally have a typesetter, so hopefully we can release the rest of the series soon. This series came out in Hana to Yume in 2013 before “Lip Smoke”. It reminds me of a modern day “The Odd Couple”. The series is pretty low-key and pleasant with a some fan service thrown in once in a while.  Basically it’s fujoshi bait, so fujoshi, go at it. I, on the other hand, will take this for face value.

"Sabaku no Harem" Chapter 2

Look what’s back! I wasn’t very impressed with this chapter because it’s pretty standard for a desert harem series, so I wanted to read the third and fourth chapters to see where the series is going.

"Kanojo ni Naru Hi — Another" Chapter 5

When I first saw this frontis page, I thought, “please let Sagara become the school bancho”. That would be cool! Maybe it’ll happen. Who knows. Anyhow, what does happen sets up for an interesting arc for the series as a whole. The question is whether anyone will actually do it and how does this bleed over into the main series “Kanojo ni Naru Hi”.  Oh, ho, ho! I guess we released that oneshot just in time. A reminder: “Kanojo ni Naru Hi” with Mamiya and Miyoshi is resuming in September in Ane Lala magazine. Of course, we will be translating … Continue reading "Kanojo ni Naru Hi — Another" Chapter 5
