"Yukarism" Chapter 11

Here is the final chapter of “Yukarism” before it went on hiatus.  I don’t know when “Yukarism” will return, but I hope it’s not too long and I hope the series isn’t abandoned.  It’s too good of a series to kill before it’s done.  It does worry me, though, like the other series that went on hiatus, when it does return the story will be rushed to an end.*Wringing hands* Anyhow, we learn more about Kazuma’s woes and we begin to understand why he’s doomed and why he’s so freaking insane.  I feel so bad that his happy little family … Continue reading "Yukarism" Chapter 11

"Yukarism" Chp 10

It’s been a while since we had a chapter of “Yukarism”.  The series is currently on hiatus, so I decided there was no urgent need for releases.  It looks like Shiomi-sensei has recovered enough to start drawing again (a new chapter of “Nanatsu Kururi” came out in the latest issue of Itan) and she spoke on Twitter about finishing the manuscript for the end of an unnamed series…hmm…But keep in mind that Shiomi-sensei currently has three series running. I did see the listing for Betsuhana 6 and “Yukarism” doesn’t appear.  I guess we have to wait at least two months … Continue reading "Yukarism" Chp 10

"Magnolia" Chapter 20

Shame on you proofreaders for making Ichi waiting after she tireless cleaned, scrubbed, and redrew this entire chapter!  The poor girl had to look at this juicy chapter and see things she couldn’t unsee without knowing what the hell these shocking events actually were! Hahaha!  Thanks proofreaders for finally pitching in :).  I know you all had St. Patrick’s Day parties to go to and you’re all bleary-eyed from too many shamrock shakes. AUGH!!! This chapter!!!  Naked Ape you are killing me with goodness!!!  Many thanks for this wonderful series!  Unfortunately, I can’t say much about this chapter without spoiling … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 20

"Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 32

I’m delirious, so if what I write makes no sense, come back in a couple of days and I will have fixed it. This is such a cute title page.  Obi in a tie looks strangely modern.  Before I forget, you may want to buy a copy of Lala 5 for some sweet AnS freebies (Pen pouch and Clear Bookmarks).  I’ve got my copy on order from Sanseido Bookstore :).This chapter is very cute.  We learn a little about Obi, though I was hoping for more, but I’ll take what I can get.  Just as a translator’s note, I took … Continue reading "Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 32

One Shot: "Complete Story of Meg the Thief" ("Kaitou Magu no Ichibushijuu") by Nari Kusakawa

First of all I would like to thank Jade and Amrai for taking on the challenge of translating this one-shot.  This was probably the hardest one-shot we’ve ever taken on and I’m happy that we fought through it to get to a good result.  I’d also like to thank Noir Schist for her wonderful image editing and lettering. Oh!  And Ichi’s miraculous redraws too!  Great work team! And now onto the one-shot.  Not much to say here other than this is another wonderful one-shot from Nari Kusakawa and really like Ulric.  He’s awesome! It’s too bad this is a one-shot.  … Continue reading One Shot: "Complete Story of Meg the Thief" ("Kaitou Magu no Ichibushijuu") by Nari Kusakawa

"Magnolia" Chapter 19

Nagi’s taking off the gloves…hee!  I think “Lost Lamb” describes Nagi’s situation in this chapter more than “beast”.  Hahaha!  This chapter is such a tease!  Still it’s fun to see Nagi suffer sweetly.  He makes a great martyr.This chapter ends the Tea Party arc.  I suppose in  the next chapter we’ll get to see what happens the night after the tea party or the next day after the tea party.  Personally, I think it’s time for some Ayato x Nagi time.  Ayato needs to have a heart-to-heart with somebody.  In the end, I’d say that outside of family, Nagi is … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 19

Dual Release: Akagami no Shirayukihime Chp 31 and the February 2012 Omake

First, a shameless plug for Akidzuki Sorata!  There will be a dual release of “Akagami no Shirayukihime” volume 7 and the “Vahlia Bridegroom” one-shot compilation on March 5th.  Copies have been pre-ordered for those who have already sent requests to piggyback on my late February order.  Also, the extra copies I ordered have been reserved.  However, it’s not too late!  If you want your own copies of AnS Volume 7, “Vahlia’s Bridegroom”, and “Ao Rhapsodia” (the Akane Ogure one-shot compilation), I can piggy back your order onto my first order for the month of March (you will receive the books … Continue reading Dual Release: Akagami no Shirayukihime Chp 31 and the February 2012 Omake

"Sekai no Hate no Sougen de" ("The Grassy Plain at the Edge of the World") by Keiko Ishihara

Update: The file have be updated to correct a couple translation errors.  Those of you with digital collections may want to re-download the file. First of all, as you can see in the bottom left corner of the title page, “Ojousama no Untenshu” volume 2 will be available for purchase on March 5th.  Here’s a link to pre-order it from Amazon JP.  I’ll post links to other online stores once the book is actually released. On to the one-shot!  This one-shot is rather subtle.  It took 3 readings for me to get the entirety of the message.  For those of … Continue reading "Sekai no Hate no Sougen de" ("The Grassy Plain at the Edge of the World") by Keiko Ishihara
