"Lip Smoke" Chapter 3

It’s slow going now that we are into the holiday season. Hopefully we can get some extra help during the second half of the month for January and February releases.  For now, though, we’ll go along at a leisurely pace. I’ve got some real life to deal with and hubby and I keep fighting seasonal colds and stomach flus T_T. This is the Seta Porn chapter. That is all. Onto the release!Links to “Lip Smoke” Chapter 3: (PDF) (Zip) Next up will be the last two chapters of “Magnolia” and possibly a oneshot on Bakeneko’s Lair. Continue reading "Lip Smoke" Chapter 3

New Short Series: "LLLL" by Tei Ataru

  Update 12/21/2013: Updates terms “shades” and “dark lamps” to be consistent the rest of the chapters.———————————- We’ve been stewing on this series for a while. The chapters are all translated and the pages are cleaned and redrawn (for the most part >_>).  It’s just been that extra push to finish the chapters that’s eluded us.  Hopefully now that we’ve launched the series, we’ll get the next 3 chapters done soon. As I said in the title this is a short series.  There are only 4 chapters that ran in Avarus magazine (Mag Garden), and they are compiled into one … Continue reading New Short Series: "LLLL" by Tei Ataru

"Magnolia" Chapter 36

Here’s “Magnolia” Chapter 36.  I thought this was going to be an arc about the King and Ayato, but I guess it isn’t.  Rather, it’s just follows Ayato and his buddies through the aftermath of the masquerade party. To my surprise, Hollier is a hardcore shipper.  I was laughing heartily at the panels where she appears.  Hollier is a good girl. I wish the best for her. Alexandra owns my heart. I really like him. Go with your heart, you beautiful man!  Ah Hugo… Hee! Finally, the drawing of him I’ve been waiting for and it’s cute! Hee! There’s hope … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 36

Long-Form Oneshot: "Tasogare Renren" ("Longing for Dusk") by Nari Kusakawa

This oneshot originally appeared as the feature oneshot in Aka Lala last year.  We’ve been sitting on it for a while and finally got up the courage to take it on a couple of weeks ago.  It helped that the oneshot was released in the “Boku no Hitsugi de Bansan wo” (“Shall we have Dinner in my Coffin”) short story compilation.  Having the tankoubon version saved us a lot of time cleaning. On a side note, included in the short story compilation are “Boku no Hitsugi de Bansan wo” and “Shinobigoto“, both of which we have already translated. Please check … Continue reading Long-Form Oneshot: "Tasogare Renren" ("Longing for Dusk") by Nari Kusakawa

"Magnolia" Chapter 35

This chapter confuses me quite a bit, but I wonder if I’m the only who found it a bit inconsistent with past chapters in the stories.  This is the biggest problem I’m having: And… Soooo… without spoiling what comes ahead.  I’ll just say, “WTF, Vincent?”  Anyhow, I’m very scared about the possibility this chapter opens, and hope it won’t go down the typical shoujo route because it would negate too much of the previous story, the fundamental mechanic of the “Magnolia”, and be untrue to the characters as laid out so far — mainly it makes the King looks very … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 35

"Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 4

There’s one more chapter to go!  I’ll start typesetting it tomorrow, so if all goes well, it will be ready for release around this time Friday (my time) or Saturday morning. There’s a nasty cliffhanger, so I won’t keep you or the proofreaders waiting.  This chapter addresses the move Mamiya made in chapter 3.  I’m sure the new information will paint a completely different picture of Mamiya and her bold move in chapter 3. I’ve decided to hold off on commenting until the end of series.  I like the comments that have been left so far, and it would seem … Continue reading "Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 4
