New Series: "Junketsu + Kareshi" Chapter 1

“Junketsu + Kareshi” (“Pureblood + Boyfriend”)  is another new series from “Aria” magazine.  I will definitely be translating the second chapter because I want to know what happens next and the chapter left me with lots of questions.  As with “Pika Ichi,” I will decide whether to continue this series based on the second chapter.  As always, your feedback is appreciated and wanted.

"Seirei Produce" Chapter 4

I’m so relieved we were able to get this out now.  Basically, the raw was so awful that we were having a difficult time cleaning and making the final product look decent.  It was such an awful experience that I put things off on this chapter.  A few of you, though, wrote in asking when chapter 4 was coming, so I decided to “rip the band-aid off” and get this over with.  “Big thanks” to Silver Lunar who shared in the cleaning pain and thanks to Luna for doing the Photoshop filter experiments. So…chapter 4…we get some more fun with … Continue reading "Seirei Produce" Chapter 4

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

"Seirei Produce" Chapter 3

Update — July 5, 2010:  Eep!  It looks like I missed a small dialog bubble on page 24.  It’s an insignificant piece of dialog (“gah”), but I went ahead and added it.  The file has the same name, so the link below is still valid.————————————-Here is “Seirei Produce” chapter 3 (and no I wasn’t joking about “strip rock-paper-scissors”).  In this chapter we are more formally introduced to the kitsune character (though we don’t learn his name).    We also get to see a new side of Gojou’s character.  After this chapter I can’t decide who is my favorite character.  Hmm…perhaps I’ll … Continue reading "Seirei Produce" Chapter 3

Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen Chp 17

Here is “Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen” chapter 17. Link to ZHD Chp 17 Hopefully, this is the lowest emotional point in the story. If it isn’t, I don’t know if I could handle any more bad befalling these characters I like so much.  From the way the chapter ends, it looks like the next chapter will be a flashback chapter — or so I hope, because I would really like to see how Yuda and Johanne met during the war. Read beyond here after you’ve read the chapter because what I ramble, may contain spoilers. On the topic of Joshua, I … Continue reading Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen Chp 17

"Seirei Produce" Chapter 2

Here is “Seirei Produce” Chapter 2: Link to “Seirei Produce” Chapter 2Spanish Version (Coming Soon)French Version (Coming Soon) In this chapter we get more of a feel for Shiina and her family situation.  I really like Shiina! Her mother is pretty funny too.   Amane’s, though, is a brat and is treated a little too much like eye candy (he kinda reminds me of “Aram” from “Meru Puri”.  But turn about is fair play  I like this series, so we will take it on as a project! Lala DX 7/2010 should be ready for me to pick up tomorrow.  According … Continue reading "Seirei Produce" Chapter 2
