"Kemono Kingdom" Chapter 9

First of all, thanks to all of the supporters of this series. Your encouragement fuels me :3. I will do my best to finish this series with care. Marching down the chapters, here’s chapter 9 of “Kemono Kingdom: Zoo”. This chapter centers around Barbary Sheep’s tween anxiety. Barbary Sheep is adorable and I wouldn’t mind having a BSheep doll or plushy. Underlying this whole story is a discussion of Eagle and Lion’s relationship, which will continue into chapter 10.  After chapter 10 we finally move into a story arc and things turn very dramatic (but still with humor). We are … Continue reading "Kemono Kingdom" Chapter 9

"Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 8

It’s been well over a year since we released a chapter of “Kemono Kingdom: Zoo”.  Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone but Silver Lunar and I even cares.  Oh well… “Zoo” is not everyone. Despite having no audience, I can’t bring myself to drop the series because I like it a lot. I think if you can get past the first two chapters, you’ll see its charms too.  Lion and Eagle’s relationship is the best bromance and I love all of the side characters. I’ve decided to accelerate this series do we can check it off our to-do list. There’s no … Continue reading "Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 8

"The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 11

  Series News! “The Ghost Apartment Manager” is ending in April at 29 chapters (6 volumes) So… I guess we will be accelerating the series. The second to last chapter is a tear jerker T_T. ——————————— Finally! Another chapter of “The Ghost Apartment Manager”! And like the broken record that I am with this series, I’m sorry for the long wait. It’ll become easier to regularly release chapters of this series after we finish some of our other series. This series is still ongoing, so we won’t be accelerating it. This chapter wraps up the Crook arc (maybe…??? Yes, yes, … Continue reading "The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 11

First a bit of business! If you enjoyed this series, please consider showing Dai-sensei some love by purchasing the books! Amazon JP: Volume 1/ Volume 2 YesAsia: Volume 1/Volume 2 —————— Hooray!

We need a … Continue reading "Fushigi no Maria-kun" Chapter 9 (End)

Fushigi no Maria-kun Chapter 8

This is the second to last chapter of “Fushigi no Maria”. You can consider this the last of the arc started in chapter 7.  This chapter gets to the heart of Maria’s feelings about Toko. It’s quite sweet.  Also, there’s a good amount of comic relief provided by Simon and Maria’s mother. I enjoyed working on this chapter quite a bit. Onto the release!Link to “Fushigi no Maria” Chapter 8: (Zip) (PDF) — Please do not upload either of these files to any of the manga aggregation websites.

"Fushigi no Maria-kun" Chapter 7

This chapter begins a two chapter story arc and introduces a new character named Simon. I sorta wish Simon was introduced earlier, because he and Maria make a perfect comic duo.  I don’t want to say much about this chapter other than along with chapter 8, I enjoyed it very much.  I also received a lot of positive feedback on the chapter from the proofreaders.  So let’s just get on with the release!Links to “Fushigi no Maria-kun” chapter 7: (Zip) (PDF) Please do not upload either of these files to any of the manga aggregators.
