"Fushigi no Maria-kun" Bonus Story: "The Wounds that Cover Us" (Manshinsoui no Futari")

This is the extra short one-shot included in “Fushigi no Maria-kun” Volume 1.  It’s a cute little high school romance story.  I always like it when authors are able to tell a complete story in very few pages. Oh!  This is also the debut project for our newest typesetter, Rien!  Let’s all welcome Rien 🙂Links to “The Wounds that Cover Us”: (Zip) (PDF) The next chapter of “Fushigi no Maria-kun” will come out in March (hopefully).

One-Shot: "Kirara to Shiro Ookami" ("Kirara and the White Wolf")

As you can see on this title page, “Ao no Rhapsodia”, a collection of Akane Ogura’s one-shots is now available for purchase.  I have a copy and we will be translating some of the one-shots.  If you wish to purchase your own copy, here are some links: Amazon JP Yes Asia I can also piggyback order it for you ($8.50 + postage).  If you are interested, send me an e-mail. Okay, now onto the one-shot. This one-shot reminds me of a light comedic version of “Ginrou no Sakura” for a younger audience.  It’s a super cute one-shot.  I really like … Continue reading One-Shot: "Kirara to Shiro Ookami" ("Kirara and the White Wolf")

One-Shot: "Detarame Mousouryoku Opera" ("Absurd and Fantastical Opera") by Bisco Hatori

This one-shot took forever to complete!  Everything about it was time consuming!  I’m so glad it’s done!  I forgot how difficult Bisco Hatori’s works are to translate. Fortunately,  I really like this one-shot so it was a pleasure. According to Hatori-sensei’s blog, this was intended to only be a one-shot, but she liked it so much that it’s going to become a 3 chapter short series!  The second chapter is scheduled to release in Lala issue 5, which comes out in Japan on March 24th.  We will, of course, translate the rest of the series.And now onto the link:  (Zip) … Continue reading One-Shot: "Detarame Mousouryoku Opera" ("Absurd and Fantastical Opera") by Bisco Hatori

"Magnolia" Chp 18

First if of all, I must say Naked Ape does some of the loveliest cover and title page art out there.  I’m always excited when they have color pages.  I really wish they would release a Magnolia calendar.  I really like the colors on this illustration.  The composition really brings out the green of Ayato’s eyes.We continue with the tea party in this chapter.  A warning to Hugo haters:  you are going to want to put your fist through your monitor before the end of this chapter.  Hugo is especially dog-like…well, more like a male slut.  He’s a terrible guy … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chp 18

New Series: "Ojousama no Untenshu" ("The Young Lady’s Chauffeur") Chapter 1

At long last, we get started on this series.  Again, this is another casualty of “Kuro Lala” and “Shiro Lala”.  Hopefully, though, now that we are started, we can put out a chapter every month or two.  This is another series with CRAZY redraws, so I can’t guarantee monthly releases, but we’ll do our best.  We are doing this series in conjunction with Heart Crusade.  Heart Crusade will be helping out with some of horrendous redraws.And now onto the series:  This first chapter was very compelling to me and I want to see more of this couple as soon as … Continue reading New Series: "Ojousama no Untenshu" ("The Young Lady’s Chauffeur") Chapter 1

One-Shot: "Komugi and the Cuisine of the World Boys"

At last, we finally get this one-shot out!  We wanted to release this as our special Thanksgiving one-shot, but it got lost in the excitement of Kuro Lala and Shiro Lala.  Please forgive me Cuisine Boys!  This was a joint project with The Zero Alliance, so head over to their website if you prefer RAR files. As you can guess, this one-shot is about food and magical boys who cook food.  How could I resist?  It turned out to be a much sweeter story that I anticipated (as most stories thing do — haha).  Regardless, it was a pleasant surprise.Oh, … Continue reading One-Shot: "Komugi and the Cuisine of the World Boys"
