Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen Chp 15 Translation

K3

Here is “Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen” chp 15.  This chapter does not resolve the bad situation we were left with in the last chapter, but rather it does a flashback so we can understand Joshua more.  Poor Joshua needs a hug!  Anyhow, it looks like the wedding is just around the corner!  But will it go off peacefully?  And what exactly does Johanne want to do with Judecca?  What do you think? Link to “Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen” chp 15 (Update 02/21/2010 – Minor edits from Kuma-chan) Next up is “Orange Chocolate” Chp 4.  ETA: Tuesday at the soonest.

Orange Chocolate Chp 1 Scanlation

K3

Here is Chapter 1 of “Orange Chocolate,” our newest project.  Sapphire Pyro wrote a great introduction to the series on Hyper Parfait. Many thanks to Pyro! Just a warning, the main female character, Chihiro, does refer to herself in the third person.  I wouldn’t interpret this as she’s being narcissistic, so much as in her head she is still 4-yrs old.  I think we’ve all seen quite a few manga and anime series in which little kids refer to themselves in the 3rd person.  For me it was a bit off-putting at first, but now I see that it’s just … Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chp 1 Scanlation

Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen Chp 14 Translation

K3

Here’s “Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen” chp 14.  I like this chapter a lot because it has a good mix of humor, romance, and action.  The ending, though, is ominous.  Anyhow, I think in this chapter, Johanne’s brother, Joshua, forgot that Johanne is a “butcher” and believes in “enhanced interrogation techniques.”  Haha…silly Joshua.  So much for “talking”… Link to ZHD Chp 14 (Update:  12/17/2009 Minor edits from Kuma-chan!  Kuma-chan lives!!!) The next chapter should be out in two months, around 2/10/2010.  Next up Ouran 77.  I decided not to do the one-shot because after translating the first few pages, I didn’t like … Continue reading Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen Chp 14 Translation

Arakure Chp 56 (The Final Chapter) Translation

K3

At last!  Here’s the final chapter of Arakure! Link to Arakure Chp 56 I enjoyed this series a lot and I’m sad to see it end.  I will definitely miss these characters. I hope you all enjoyed it too :).  Fujiwara has a new series out running in Betsuhana (it may be more “adult” than Arakure) and there’s also a one-shot.  I’ll look into to both of these. Next up is Yoroshiku Master! Continue reading Arakure Chp 56 (The Final Chapter) Translation

Arakure Chp 55 Translation

K3

It’s the second to last chapter of Arakure.  At last it’s revealed that Sachie is a Yakuza princess, and her best friend’s mother can’t handle it.  What’s poor Sachie going to do?  This part of the story is pretty standard, dare I even say perfunctory — well, let’s just get it over with.  There’s also some nice moments with Rakuto 🙂 Link to Arakure Chp 55 I probably won’t be able to get to the last chapter of Arakure until after the long Thanksgiving holiday.  Sorry!  I promise, though, it will be worth the wait :). For those of you … Continue reading Arakure Chp 55 Translation

Arakure Chp 54 Translation

K3

Here’s Arakure Chp 54.  This marks the beginning of the end of the series and contains the moment we’ve all been waiting for.  In the next chapter, Sachie is forced to come clean about her “family” which causes some difficulties with her best friend’s mother.  The last chapter, nicely wraps things up with Sachie’s graduation.  I’m very pleased with the thoughtful way this manga series ends. Link to Arakure Chp 54 I should get chapter 55 done before Ouran 76 is released.  I doubt, though, that I will be able to squeeze out the last chapter before Ouran.  I have … Continue reading Arakure Chp 54 Translation
