Oh, Yukari, I like you a lot! I love the way you find joy and entertainment in your situation and you’re so cute when you’re Yuumurasaki. The question is what happens when you actually have to do your job as … Continue reading "Yukarism" Chapter 2
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! This was a big group effort to complete. Nearly every page had a complicated redraw and I want to thank the Kumiko, Ichigo Stars, and Silver Lunar for taking on and conquering the challenge this one-shot presented. I also give praise to Hibiki-sensei for writing and illustrating a beautiful story. Hibiki-sensei’s current series are “Oiran Girl” and “Shounen Dolls” which run in Japanese language Lala and Lala DX magazines. Please support her by purchasing her manga. (Link to purchase Hibiki Wataru series at Yes Asia) And now for the links: Links to “Ginrou no Sakura”: (Zip) … Continue reading Valentine’s Day Special One-Shot: "Ginrou no Sakura"
Here is “Junketsu + Kareshi” chapter 7. This is basically a heavily comedic bridge chapter to the next story arc. Links to “Junketsu + Kareshi” Chatper 7: (Zip) (PDF) — Retired Spoilers Ahead: My thoughts on the chapter– Kana is weird! She seems to willfully avoid her own sadness and the sadness of others. It’s not that I believe in dwelling on sadness, but she’s way too Pollyanna-like to stay sane. I eagerly await the break-down and Aki’s reaction to her breakdown (that is if Shouoto-sensei is brave enough to have Kana breakdown). In this chapter we are sorta … Continue reading Junketsu + Kareshi Chp 7 — Dude looks like a Lady!
Poor, poor Nagi…is it real or a spell? Chapter 7 is short, but it’s a real treat for Nagi x Ayato fans. Personally, I just like Nagi. This is my favorite cover image so far. Ayato looks like he/she is being nuzzled by her big brother, but big brother is looking quite possessive and un-big brother-like. Try getting through that Yugo! Links to “Magnolia” Chapter 7: (Zip) (PDF) Warning: Spoilers Ahead My thoughts on the chapter — The obvious question I already asked: is Nagi is under a spell or are these Nagi’s true feelings? Personally, I think poor Nagi’s … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 7
Update: Files updated to correct the spelling of various locations and people talked about this chapter. Big thanks for zronoa for the information.—————————— First of all, I would like to thank the cleaners for helping me get this out so promptly. You guys are wonderful and generous with your time and talent. Now, just a warning: this special chapter does not move the story forward. There are no big revelations or character developments. Rather it’s like an extra-long chapter of a normal Ouran story. When I first saw that’s what this was, I was rather disappointed because like so many … Continue reading Ouran High School Host Club January 2011 Special Chapter
Here’s the first chapter of one of the series we are trialing called “Yukarism” by Chika Shiomi . “Yukarism” is the story of a young man named “Yukari” who is born with the memories of his past life and so at the tender age of 17, he is an Edo period novelist. Yukari “meets cute” with Mahoro on the first day of the new school term and Yukari has the sense that even though he’s never met Mahoro, he’s knows her…and from there our story of the past and the present begins!Links to “Yukarism” Chapter 1: LICENSED Here are some … Continue reading New Series Trial: "Yukarism" Chapter 1
Here is the second of our winter one-shots, “Kare to Kanojo no Futomin” or “His and Her Sleepless Winter”. I really like this story and I wish I saved it for Valentine’s Day, because I don’t think the one-shot I’ve selected can compare in sweetness and romance. I guess we’ll have to wait and see :). “Ginrou no Sakura” has a completely different set of “charm points” and will appeal for different reasons than this one-shot. Getting out of the weeds and back to the story at hand: Links to “His and Her Sleepless Winter”: (Zip — High Quality) (PDF … Continue reading Winter One-Shot #2: "His and Her Sleepless Winter"
I am only the messenger, so please don’t jump on me about this arc of the story because I already feel bad enough. Yes, it’s a dreaded three chapter story arc about a sports festival and it comes complete with a cavalry battle. Nevermind the the hints that Ritsu could hit “the wall” due to exhaustion. Nevermind that Ritsu can’t repeat Chiro’s dance performance. Nevermind Chiro’s sudden fame…no, it’s time for a sports festival! Let’s just get this over with: Links to Orange Chocolate chapter 21: (Zip) (PDF) Next up is the final chapter of “Kimi ni XOXO”!
