"Pochamani" Chapter 8

Updated 9/6/2013 — Three missing pieces of text and SFX added, but nothing that impacts the story.——————————  Moving along with “Pochamani”, we finally get to meet Tsumugi’s family. Tsumugi’s family is fun and very realistic. Their dinner conversation reminded of how the conversations around my family’s dinner table degrade to TMI territory.  I was laughing hysterically as I was translating, because I couldn’t believe what was being said! This is a nice rest before the next story arch begins.  Personally, the next story arc makes me want to put my fist through my monitor to punch a certain new character. … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 8

"many" Chapter 3 (End)

Here’s the last chapter of “many” and it’s a beach chapter!  Thanks again to Peonine for translating and Suzume for cleaning this project. This was a really cute short series.  I will say more “below the fold”. On to the release!Links to “many” chapter 3: (PDF) (Zip) My thoughts on the series (Highlight to see) —I was heartened to find a series that seemed to tastefully tell the story of a lesbian character, Tayama, dealing the object of her affection falling in love with a boy. I also liked the love-train of the sister’s twin brother being in love with … Continue reading "many" Chapter 3 (End)

"Magnolia" Chapter 34

This chapter ends the Masquerade party arc and now we move on to examining the fallout of Ayato’s decision.  According to Naked Ape’s Twitter feed, the next arc will center around the King.  I guess we’re going to get to the question of succession and more about what Vincent is up to. Anyhow… Sui apparently likes to touch everyone. He’s creeptastic and confusing. Does he in anyway like Robert? Or is he only using Robert? Hugo… hmm… I don’t know what to make of him. He’s looks a little love sick at the end of this chapter. Welp, that’s enough … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 34

"many" Chapter 2

Here’s chapter 2 of “many”. Thanks again to Peonine for translating, Suzume for cleaning, and Holanio for cleaning.  Hopefully we’ll be able to get the final chapter out sooner (depending on whether there’s an available typesetter.) Onto to the release!Links to “many” Chapter 2: (PDF) (ZIP) This is the beginning of another spurt of releases. Tomorrow we’ll release the first chapter of another new series, followed by “Magnolia” Chapter 34. Continue reading "many" Chapter 2

”Rex Fabula" Chapter 10

I apologize for not getting chapter 10 – 12 last month. Chapters 11 and 12 are close to being done and we are working on chapters 13 and 14 too.  The next few chapters have a nice amount of emphasis on Kurumisawa, though I fear nothing will come of her crush on Homare :(. This doesn’t seem to be one of those series. But I do like Kurumisawa and Homare as a couple. I hate Shion. Please make him go away. He’s annoying and I hate sociopath characters. And now onto the release!Links to “Rex Fabula” Chapter 10:  (PDF) (Zip) … Continue reading ”Rex Fabula" Chapter 10

"Hakamori Majo Bianca" Chapter 5

Here is the latest chapter of “Hakamori Majo Bianca”. The story isn’t done and it’s not clear whether we will get more more chapters. Because the Japanese publishers don’t make most series and none of their magazines available for us in English, we cannot vote with our dollars to get more of a series.  It’s sad that we must rely on fan translation to have access to wonderful series like HMB. Regardless, Yamazaki-sensei knows that there is a foreign audience that loves Bianca, and that we fans are cheering her on. Hopefully Bianca has enough Japanese fans to get a … Continue reading "Hakamori Majo Bianca" Chapter 5

Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama Chapter 5

This has nothing to do with this manga or Omari’s Sister, but go see “Pacific Rim”. It’s the funnest movie of the summer season IMHO. I’ve been spamming the heck out of everyone on Tumblr with it. Anyhow, go give it some money, because we need more movies like this and less “Transformers” and “Battleship” crap. Okay, back to the manga at hand. I think the release pace of “Ore to Atashi” is going to continue on like this. We’re working on chapter 6 now, but I can’t say with confidence that we’ll release it in August. There are simply … Continue reading Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama Chapter 5

"Pochamani" Chapter 7

Thanks to everyone for waiting patiently for us to continue “Pochamani”.  I wanted to do this chapter in particular in high quality, and I think it was well worth the wait. From now on to be in-synch with the tankoubon releases, we will release one chapter per month. We anticipate no multiple months long hiatuses in the near to mid-range future. I’ve included the artwork from the volume 2 tankoubon, so if you are feeling inspired, I would love some Pochamani banners for the blog (width: 1250px, height: 250 – 350px, PSD with separate text layer preferred) Oh! I almost … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 7
