"Fushigi no Maria-kun" Chapter 5

We are now on the second volume of “Fushigi no Maria-kun”!  There are nine chapters total in this series. Hopefully we’ll be able to finish it before the end of the year.  Haha! This is truly a challenging series. The redraws, translation, and typesetting are all horrendous.  But I think it’s worth it. This story is very heartwarming and Shiina Dai’s dialog is always a treat to translate. I wish it could have released this chapter in April since it’s a story about cherry blossom viewing.  My favorite part of this chapter is the conversation between Maria and Toko’s father.  … Continue reading "Fushigi no Maria-kun" Chapter 5

"Rex Fabula" Chapters 1 – 4

  “Rex Fabula” is moving to Omari’s Sister.  This series is more on the shounen side, but starting in chapter 6 some shoujo elements start showing up.  This series is a nice combination of horror, action, and mystery with a sprinkling of unrequited love.  The main character, Homare, is one of my favorites, so I hope this series finds a happy home here.  I also hope there’s lots of conversation around this series.  It’s a truly interesting series.  Here are links to the first 4 chapters: “Rex Fabula” Chapter1 “Rex Fabula” Chapter2 “Rex Fabula” Chapter3 “Rex Fabula” Chapter4 Chapters 5 … Continue reading "Rex Fabula" Chapters 1 – 4

"Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 33

First of all, a little bit of business.  Viz’s Shojo Beat is accepting licensing suggestions on Twitter.  AnS came up quite a few times.  I would love it if the momentum were stepped up so this series can’t be ignored and Akidzuki Sorata can get some money from us (more than just the fraction of us who buy the tankoubon).  So if you don’t mind, please Tweet to @Shojobeat about AnS.  Let’s make a big push to get this series licensed! I did what I could with this chapter in terms of image editing.  The pages look okay until page … Continue reading "Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 33

Special Spring One-Shot: "Bye Bye Rain" by Shiki Awafuji

This one-shot is from Hana to Yume magazine so the original image quality is crap.  We did the best we could with what we had, but still I apologize that the images are not as crisp as I like them to be (although those of you with iPad 2s and 3s and iPhone 4s’s will not see the horror — those devices make anything look great!).  Anyhow, view the PDF at ~65% zoom to get the best image quality. As I wrote earlier, we at Omari’s Sister don’t particularly like to do projects or work with big age gaps. However, … Continue reading Special Spring One-Shot: "Bye Bye Rain" by Shiki Awafuji

"Magnolia" Chapter 21

At last we make a big move in the story! And Nagi’s suffering intensifies. Poor, poor Nagi.  Hmm…what’s Vincent up to? I haven’t decided whether he’s suspicious or not. So far he seems like a really nice but tragic figure. Thanks to Ichi for some great redraws 🙂 And now onto the links!Link to “Magnolia” Chp 21:  (PDF) Next up is a special Spring one-shot.  This one-shot kinda goes against the kind of story we like to do at Omari’s Sister, but I couldn’t past up the story and the art. Oh! And please support Omari’s Sister by purchasing some … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 21

One-Shot: "The Most Beautiful Name in the World" by Yuu Toyota

At last, a release!!!  I can’t believe that it’s nearly been 2 weeks since we’ve released something.  It’s not for lack of doing anything.  We’ve been quite busy.  I myself had to prep a couple of projects for lettering before I get to this one-shot and last week I was nearly useless because RL made me depressed and sleepy. Anyhow, here’s another one-shot from one of our favorite mangaka Yuu Toyota.  This one is a quite bittersweet unlike the other one-shots. Still it’s a lovely story and fits very well with her other one-shots.And now onto the link! Link to … Continue reading One-Shot: "The Most Beautiful Name in the World" by Yuu Toyota
