"Rex Fabula" Chapter 11

K3

We’re still trucking along slowly on this series.  Chapter 12 should be released on Friday or Saturday. In this chapter we see Homare unknowingly making friends.  Haha! Homare is so stubborn, but he’s making some really good friends. I’m not feeling very talkative tonight. I’ve got a pile to stuff waiting to be finished, and it’s making me twitchy because I want to get done, so I can move on to the supernatural stuff. And now onto the release!Links to “Rex Fabula” Chapter 11: (PDF) (Zip) Next up will be the S&M oneshot “Sakashima” followed by “Rex Fabula” Chapter 12. Continue reading "Rex Fabula" Chapter 11

Oneshot: "Fugitto Amor" by Shiina Dai

K3

So… the recent oneshots and series from The Hana to Yume (Hakusensha) have been opening my eyes to what an age gap love story can be. They don’t have to be about manipulation or older men chasing after teenagers or little girls, or the inverse.  Rather age gap stories can be pure and sweet and about deeper connections than sex.  This is a simple and amazing love story. What’s more amazing is that something that was only 14 pages long brought me to tears and reminded me of all the wonderful things love can be. I don’t know if you’ll … Continue reading Oneshot: "Fugitto Amor" by Shiina Dai

"Magnolia" Chapter 35

K3

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

K3

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

"Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 3

K3

First a bit Crimson Flowers business:Volunteers Needed Experienced Typesetter for Pochamani, commitment 1 chapter/month Typesetters needed for short-series and oneshots.  Projects will be assigned according your ability. Commitment 30 – 60-pages/month Contact Kuroneko003 (crimsonflowerscans@gmail.com) to apply.  ———————————- Two more chapters to go after this. This chapter is rather risky, and took me aback.

"Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 2

K3

All right! Let’s get started on the rest of “Kanojo ni Naru Hi”! I don’t want to say much about this chapter because it’s all the best shoujo stuff we love and it’s better to just experience how Ogura puts the elements together. We need blog banners for this series.  Artwork from the cover of the compilation have been included in this release. Some nice banners from our readers would be greatly appreciated. The width must be 1250-px and the height can be between 200 – 350-px. A PSD with the a separate text lay is preferred, but JPEG and … Continue reading "Kanojo ni Naru Hi" Chapter 2

"Lip Smoke" Chapter 2

K3

“Lip Smoke” is more than just a oneshot! It’s currently being serialized in The Hana to Yume, which is a quarterly publication (once every 3 months).  The next The Hana to Yume is coming out on October 26th. This series is a pain to clean, so it’ll be release about a month after we get the raw.  Please don’t send e-mails, comments, or Tweets about where the next chapter is, because we have nothing to do with the Japanese quarterly release schedule. This chapter continues shortly after the first oneshot. For me, this chapter raised questions about Iwato’s relationship with … Continue reading "Lip Smoke" Chapter 2
