"Magnolia" Chapter 17

K3

First a little shameless plug to encourage you all to give the mangaka money for this manga series by purchasing the books.  Volume 3 (Chapters 10 – 16) has just been released and it has a beautiful drawing of Nagi on the cover and the full drawing of Nagi on the first inside page.  There’s also a drama CD available. Here are some links to purchase! Amazon Japan via Naked Ape’s Amazon Storefront:(Volume 3 only) (Volume 3 + Drama CD) Yes Asia:(Volume 3) (Volume 3 + Drama CD) Since I didn’t know Volume 3 came with the Drama CD, I … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 17

One-Shot: "Seimei desu ga nani ka?" ("I’m Seimei. What of it?")

K3

WAH-BAM!  It’s another one-shot!  This one is a “Shounen for girls” type of one-shot.  I wanted to release this one over a year ago, but it kept getting kicked down the road.  I’m happy we finally finish this one.  Big thanks to Blotty Parchment for taking on the challenge of translating this one-shot.  There were a lot of exorcist terms she had to research.  On top of that, there are language differences between Shoujo and Shounen manga.  It can be a little tough for folks like us who aren’t native Japanese speakers.  Also, thanks to Sapphire Pyro for the beautiful … Continue reading One-Shot: "Seimei desu ga nani ka?"

Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Kachuu no Ou" ("The Flowering King")

K3

Here is a one-shot from Yuki Kure (“La Corda Oro”).  This is very different from La Corda and her other one-shots.  I liked it a lot because it seemed more mature than her other works.  I really wish this was a two or three part mini-series because I would have liked to have seen more of the two main characters’ back story.  Oh well…Update:  12/12/2011:  Updated the title after some thought.  I think this captures the spirit of “kachuu” more. Anyhow…here are the links! Links to “Kachuu no Ou”: (Zip) (PDF) Next up!  Haha!  There are a few things close … Continue reading Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Kachuu no Ou" ("The Flowering King")

"The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 8

K3

It’s been over 3 months since we’ve released a chapter of “The Ghost Apartment Manager”.  I’m sorry to the fans and myself.  This is a special series and I think it’s probably our most underrated series.  If you’ve never read this series, I suggest you give it a try.  The first chapter is really depressing, but once you get past it, the fun begins. In this chapter we begin Crook’s arc.  The chapters following this are beautifully drawn.  I expect Crook’s arc will have a lot of emotional impact.  We also learn some more about Leo’s death.  I have this … Continue reading "The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 8

Shiro Lala One-shot: "The Wizard and the Love Potion"

K3

This is a really sweet one-shot.  As of now this is tied with “Dinner in my Coffin” as my favorite Shiro Lala one-shot.  This one-shot had tough redraws on nearly every page, so I would like to thank Ichigo Stars and Kumiko for all the work they put in to make the release of this one-shot possible.  It’s beautiful, you guys!  I really appreciate it. This one-shot plays with fairytale troupes.  It feels very familiar, but I think this one-shot was well done, so I enjoyed the “remix”.  If you haven’t read Toyota Yuu’s other one-shot “The Honeybee Earl and … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-shot: "The Wizard and the Love Potion"

Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Ginsekai no Shoumei" by Akiduki Sorata

K3

Here is Akiduki Sorata’s Shiro Lala one-shot “Ginsekai no Shoumei” (“The Snowscape’s Emblem”).  The image above is a scan of one of the freebie post cards.  The large size image (click on the image to see it larger) can be used as wallpaper on your PC or mobile. A note about the spelling of “Akiduki”.  A few people have asked me about the change in the spelling.  I had been spelling it “Akidzuki” and “Akizuki” is another common spelling.  The mangaka herself began romanizing her name and the titles of her works a few months ago.  Whether right or wrong, … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Ginsekai no Shoumei" by Akiduki Sorata

Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Dinner in My Coffin" by Nari Kusakawa

K3

How could I resist a one-shot with a title page like this!?  It’s soooo pretty!  This is actually a scan of the one of the post cards that comes with Shiro Lala.  The other post cards are a clean version of the Shiro Lala cover (Akiduki Sorata’s drawing from her one-shot) and “Wild Wing”.  But I digress…the idea of an all white vampire is cool.  I like the white bats too.  The concept is very nice and different. I really liked this one-shot.  It felt very mature for what’s usually in Lala, without being “adult”.  I wish there were more … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Dinner in My Coffin" by Nari Kusakawa
