Ouran High School Host Club Volume 18 Extras

First of all, let me encourage you to buy this volume in Japanese, whether you can read it or not (you should have the translation already), in order to directly support Hatori-sensei.  Here are some links to online stores: Amazon Japan Yes Asia ($7.99 + $3.99 shipping!) And now onto the good stuff.  Like somebody else commented in the teaser post, these extras should give most everyone a satisfying end to the “Ouran High School Host Club” series.  I still want more Kyouya…but I’ll live, I suppose.  Also…I shouldn’t complain too much since I did get this (as written in … Continue reading Ouran High School Host Club Volume 18 Extras

Magnolia Chapter 9

It’s been a busy past few days.  First a planned real-life thing happened and then an unplanned family emergency happened.  Fortunately, all is well and life is back to normal.  Anyhow, here is “Magnolia” chapter 9.  There’s a nice little flashback in the beginning that confirms many of our suspicions and then we get on to fun with Hollier.  Hopefully those people who were initially put off by Hollier will warm up to her by the end of this chapter.  She’s good girl with good intentions.  And now the links:Links to “Magnolia” Chapter 9: (Zip) (PDF — tablets and mobile) … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 9

"Yukarism" Chapter 3

  This series gets better with each chapter.  It’s funny, sweet, and fun all at the same time!  And on top of that, the artwork is wonderful! I hope Shiomi-sensei can keep up the momentum with this series. Links to “Yukarism” chapter 3: LICENSED Spoiler Alert! Spoilers Ahead! My Thoughts on the Chapter: Hitoha!  She’s so cute.  I hope this isn’t the last we see of her present self, Emi. Mahoro is a constant source of laughter for me in this chapter.  She so oblivious to her own hypocrisy.  She’s hysterically jealous and just plain funny.  I wonder if what … Continue reading "Yukarism" Chapter 3

Junketsu + Kareshi chp 8 — wow, I never would have guessed who "N" is…

The title page for “Junketsu + Kareshi” chapter 8 is very deceiving.  Neither of these characters shows up in the chapter (except the Student Council President very briefly in a flashback).  Anyhow…this chapter pretty much goes as predicted, though, there are a few funny Aki snide remark moments (thank goodness for those). Here are the links: Links to “Junketsu + Kareshi” chapter 8:  (Zip) (PDF) — Retired Spoiler Alert!My thoughts on the Chapter– Kana continues to bumble happily and senselessly along.  Personally, I would have taken the hinges off of Masayuki’s door.  Beyond that, the whole Masayuki situation makes no … Continue reading Junketsu + Kareshi chp 8 — wow, I never would have guessed who "N" is…
