"Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 4

There’s one more chapter to go!  I’ll start typesetting it tomorrow, so if all goes well, it will be ready for release around this time Friday (my time) or Saturday morning. There’s a nasty cliffhanger, so I won’t keep you or the proofreaders waiting.  This chapter addresses the move Mamiya made in chapter 3.  I’m sure the new information will paint a completely different picture of Mamiya and her bold move in chapter 3. I’ve decided to hold off on commenting until the end of series.  I like the comments that have been left so far, and it would seem … Continue reading "Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 4

Please … Continue reading "Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 3

"Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 2

All right! Let’s get started on the rest of “Kanojo ni Naru Hi”! I don’t want to say much about this chapter because it’s all the best shoujo stuff we love and it’s better to just experience how Ogura puts the elements together. We need blog banners for this series.  Artwork from the cover of the compilation have been included in this release. Some nice banners from our readers would be greatly appreciated. The width must be 1250-px and the height can be between 200 – 350-px. A PSD with the a separate text lay is preferred, but JPEG and … Continue reading "Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 2

"Lip Smoke" Chapter 2

“Lip Smoke” is more than just a oneshot! It’s currently being serialized in The Hana to Yume, which is a quarterly publication (once every 3 months).  The next The Hana to Yume is coming out on October 26th. This series is a pain to clean, so it’ll be release about a month after we get the raw.  Please don’t send e-mails, comments, or Tweets about where the next chapter is, because we have nothing to do with the Japanese quarterly release schedule. This chapter continues shortly after the first oneshot. For me, this chapter raised questions about Iwato’s relationship with … Continue reading "Lip Smoke" Chapter 2

"Pochamani" Chapter 8

Updated 9/6/2013 — Three missing pieces of text and SFX added, but nothing that impacts the story.——————————  Moving along with “Pochamani”, we finally get to meet Tsumugi’s family. Tsumugi’s family is fun and very realistic. Their dinner conversation reminded of how the conversations around my family’s dinner table degrade to TMI territory.  I was laughing hysterically as I was translating, because I couldn’t believe what was being said! This is a nice rest before the next story arch begins.  Personally, the next story arc makes me want to put my fist through my monitor to punch a certain new character. … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 8

"many" Chapter 3 (End)

Here’s the last chapter of “many” and it’s a beach chapter!  Thanks again to Peonine for translating and Suzume for cleaning this project. This was a really cute short series.  I will say more “below the fold”. On to the release!Links to “many” chapter 3: (PDF) (Zip) My thoughts on the series (Highlight to see) —I was heartened to find a series that seemed to tastefully tell the story of a lesbian character, Tayama, dealing the object of her affection falling in love with a boy. I also liked the love-train of the sister’s twin brother being in love with … Continue reading "many" Chapter 3 (End)

"Magnolia" Chapter 34

This chapter ends the Masquerade party arc and now we move on to examining the fallout of Ayato’s decision.  According to Naked Ape’s Twitter feed, the next arc will center around the King.  I guess we’re going to get to the question of succession and more about what Vincent is up to. Anyhow… Sui apparently likes to touch everyone. He’s creeptastic and confusing. Does he in anyway like Robert? Or is he only using Robert? Hugo… hmm… I don’t know what to make of him. He’s looks a little love sick at the end of this chapter. Welp, that’s enough … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 34

New Seinen Series: "Kerberos in the Silver Rain" Chapter 1 by Rira Aikawa (Story) and Berry Star (Illustration)

  First of all, I need to take care of a bit of business.  We are in need of proofreaders/QCer’s. If you are interested, go here for more details (LINK) We also need experienced typesetters (LINK). ————————— This is our first seinen project.  I don’t get Heros magazine, so I found out about this series from Naked Ape’s Twitter feed.  Yes, Rira Aikawa from Naked Ape wrote the story.  Base on this, I bought the first volume and ended up reading that first volume late into the night.  This is a really fun series and I love the two male … Continue reading New Seinen Series: "Kerberos in the Silver Rain" Chapter 1 by Rira Aikawa (Story) and Berry Star (Illustration)
