Here’s another short-gag one-shot from Zero-Sum Ward. I got a giggle out of it 🙂 It’s only 8 pages so there’s not much to say about it. If you like RPGs, this will be extra enjoyable!Link to “Please Leave, Hero!”: (PDF) I am learning to love the second “e” in “heroes”. I don’t know what’s next up, but I guarantee that it won’t depress you ;p Continue reading Zero-Sum Ward One-Shot: "Please Leave, Hero!"
I have mixed feelings about this one-shot. On one hand I understand the message and the metaphors, but on the other hand, as an American, there is some cultural imagery associated with what happens at the end of this one-shot … Continue reading Updated! Kuro Lala One-shot: "The Desert’s Requiem" by Junko Ike (Version 2)
I’m releasing this now and if I have to apologize, I’ll apologize later. Hahaha! It shouldn’t be a big deal. Anyhow, this is a joint project between us and The Zero Alliance. If all goes well, it should appear on their website in a few hours once the workday is done on the other side of the world. This is a shounen-ish one-shot from Zero-Sum Ward. This one-shot has been sitting around half done for about a year. Sorry. It was meant for Bakeneko’s Lair…but, well…you know the story by now :). Not much to say about this one-shot, other … Continue reading Zero-Sum Ward One-Shot: "Noenoto"
First of all thanks to Holanio for creating a lovely banner to go with this release. I agree with her that Ken-chan is adorable. There are still 5 more Kuro Lala one-shots planned for this month, but I can’t put … Continue reading Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Red House" by Sarueru Yamada
I know I said the next one-shot would be gloomy and hella messed up, but things got out of order, and this one-shot is ready to be released instead. This is actually a good thing because I wanted to break up the gloom. This is a short light-hearted one-shot. Since Ririko Tsujita is a new mangaka for me, I had a hard time with her writing style. I’d like to thank Amrai for the helping me with the translation. Tsujita-sensei, apparently, doesn’t like letting people know who’s talking and what specifically they are talking about…sigh…well…I guess this one-shot was a … Continue reading Happy Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Bride on Loan" by Ririko Tsujita
First of all, I’d like to thank Amrai for translating this. Amrai’s relatively new to the group. She’s the translator for AnS, Ojou-sama no Untenshu, and many of our one-shots. Her ability to make sense of Akidzuki Sorata’s word-salad never ceases to amaze me! The happy times and comedy lasted only for a short time. Now we are back to the drama. This story is more pathetic and rant worthy than it is sad and tear-jerking. If you’ve been following the conversation in the chatbox, you know what I’m talking about. This story really raised the hackles of the OS … Continue reading Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Tsuki no Kanon" (The Moon’s Canon") by Ken Saitou
This was a special for Silver Lunar who loves her birdies and birds in general! Since it’s only 4-pages, I’ll just post the images here. Click on the image to see it larger. This is short comic runs in The Hana to Yume which is published every 3 months. Apparently there are lots of chapters, but this is first time I’ve noticed it. We may translate more chapters depending on the content. Regardless, Ojou-chan is ADORABLE!!! And I would love to see more of her adventures. Note: Katakana pisses me off…I’m not sure whether the intended title is “Happiness Lawn” … Continue reading Very Short Manga: "Happiness Lawn" — I Thought "Did I Die?"
Here’s a wee-bit of stoopid to make up for all the dreary from the last two one-shots. This is more like a one-shot for Bakeneko’s Lair, but since I reintegrated that, this one-shot appears here. I like stories that are parodies of Fairy Tales. This is a short one-shot that appeared in Zero-Sum Ward magazine, so it’s on the shounen side of the manga spectrum. Oh, and it’s only 10-pages! So it’s a quick read :). Onto the link! Link to “Assassin Red Riding Hood”: (PDF) (If the PDF doesn’t open in your browser, download the files to your hard … Continue reading One-Shot: "Assassin Red Riding Hood"
