"Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 20

Sorry all, we don’t find out anything about the pretty boy from the boat…however, as a consolation gift, I promise you a nice close up of Izana (*smokin’*).  Anyhow, this chapter appears to be the set-up for the chapter 21 which, according to the previews will be extra long.  It’s too bad we have to wait until October.

Orange Chocolate Chp 15

I thought my eyes were going to melt out of their sockets while editing this.  I caught one of those irritating summer colds that starts with burning eyes.  Tears were streaming down my face as a I chased dots.  This chapter was particularly nasty in terms of the backside bleed through problem…ugh!!!  Here’s a minor translator’s note: Here’s an example of “forest friends” to keep in mind as you get toward the end of this chapter (image used solely for educational purposes!): And now the link — Link to Orange Chocolate Chp 15 This chapter gives us yet a little … Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chp 15

One-Shot: "Nemurenu Kishi ni Hanataba wo" ("Bouquets of Flowers for the Sleepless Knight")

Here is the one-shot “Nemurenu Kishi ni Hanataba wo” (“Bouquets of Flowers for the Sleepless Knight”).  This story and the characters seem very inline with Yumi Kiiro’s current series “Library Wars: Love and War.” Both characters are strong and likable and the story is a good mix of humor, romance and adventure.  I hope you enjoy this short story as much as I did.  Oh! and a big thank to our new cleaner, Sae, who helped get this out sooner than I expected.Links to “Nemurenu Kishi ni Hanataba wo”:  (Zip) (PDF — Mobile and Tablets) If you enjoyed this one-shot … Continue reading One-Shot: "Nemurenu Kishi ni Hanataba wo" ("Bouquets of Flowers for the Sleepless Knight")
