"Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama" Chapter 2

It’s been a while. This is one of the series we’ve had on hold because I made the group bite off more than it could swallow. This wasn’t fair to my group and this wasn’t fair to the readers for this blog. I’m sorry about that. I still can’t promise regular releases of this series because we don’t have enough redraw support at the moment :(. If you can do complicated redraws and want to see this series on a more regular schedule, please contact me at omarissister@gmail.com to volunteer. Moving on, this series is coming to an end at … Continue reading "Ore to Atashi no Kareshi-sama" Chapter 2

"The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 10

First of all, Omari’s Sister is in desperate need of proofreaders/Qc’ers and redraw artists. Redraw artist folks, I understand you can’t help year around, but if you can lend some time during winter break, we’d be eternally grateful.  If you are interested in volunteering for the group, please contact me, Kuroneko003, at omarissister@gmail.com.————————————– I’ve been sitting on this chapter for about 6 months. It was cleaned, but I never got around to translating and lettering it.  That was incredibly silly of me considering that it only took a day and half to finish the chapter. DOH! Anyhow, here’s chapter 10, … Continue reading "The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 10

"The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapters 1 – 9

“The Ghost Apartment Manager” is returning to Omari’s Sister any second now! If you’ve never read this series or need a refresher, here you go! Volume 1 Chp 1, Chp 2, Chp 3, Chp 4, Chp 5 Volume 2 Chp 6, Chp 7, Chp 8, Chp 9  This is one of our most under appreciated series, but I think it’s among the best, so I highly recommend giving it a try.  The first chapter is really sad, but after you get past the sadness, I promise the series is very funny and poignant. Continue reading "The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapters 1 – 9

"Pochamani" Chapter 1

First of all, things are about to get a little confusing.  Chapter 1 in the magazine, which we’ve already translated, is chapter 3 in the tankoubon.  I knew about this chapter (chapter 1 in the tankoubon) because it was the initial oneshot, but I wasn’t aware of the second oneshot, which is chapter 2 in the tankoubon.  Sigh…. Anyhow, there are a few extra page in chapter 3 in the tankoubon, which was chapter 1 in the magazine, therefore we will re-release the chapter along with chapter 2, so you can get the extra couple of pages. Are you confused … Continue reading "Pochamani" Chapter 1

Hakamori Majo Bianca Part 3

Is this going to become a series? The trend so far in Aria has been after 2 or 3 successful oneshots, a work becomes a series.  I think there’s a good chance that this will become a series in 2013. ————————————————Here’s the third part of “Hakamori Majo Bianca.” This chapter focuses on Bianca’s friendship with Nelo. The two of them are very sweet together. There are also some nice moments with Zela. With this ends our October oneshot party :).  Great job everyone! This was very tiring for all of us, so we won’t be doing this again until our … Continue reading Hakamori Majo Bianca Part 3

Halloween Oneshot: "Nibun no Ichi: 1/2" by Mitsuo Shimokitazawa

This is a freaky little oneshot from a supplemental from shoujo stalwart Betsuma Magazine. I don’t particularly like Betsuma series, but I do get the magazine when there’s a supplemental because there’s a chance there could be something different and good inside. This oneshot is one such little gem. All I’ll say about this oneshot is “ah, yeah, bye-bye.”  I laughed so hard at the ending, even though I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the response the mangaka was going for.  Sorry, but it was too cornball! On to the release!Link to “Hanbun no Ichi”: (PDF) (ZIP) There’s a good chance … Continue reading Halloween Oneshot: "Nibun no Ichi: 1/2" by Mitsuo Shimokitazawa

Halloween Oneshot: "Genei Realism" ("Phantom Realism") by Suga Toone

This oneshot reminded me of “F no Meikyuu” in pacing and development. I think folks who like AnS will also like this oneshot.  I ended up liking this oneshot a lot more than I thought I would. I think what I liked the most is how things summed up in the end. It’s a very realistic and believable ending even though most readers may crave the sugar-coated ending we all expected. Thanks again goes out to Amrai for translating this oneshot, thanks to Noir for helping with the cleaning, and a big thanks to Holanio for some fabulous typesetting! And … Continue reading Halloween Oneshot: "Genei Realism" ("Phantom Realism") by Suga Toone

Aka Lala Oneshot: "Viskeith no Akai Doll" ("Viskeith’s Red Doll" or "The Earl’s Red Doll") by Kaoru Ichinose

UPDATE!!! Thanks to Twitter I got some clarification on “Visukiisu” (thanks to our friend Curious Little Hamster for asking.)  There is no special meaning behind the name. It’s just a name Ichinose-sensei liked to say.  I still like the English title “The Earl Red Doll” because I think it’s easier to remember.  However, as for a “translation,” I’m going with “Viskeith” instead of “Viskeys.” This is based on “kiisu” being commonly translated to the name “Keith.” I have updated the oneshot to show the new Romanization of the Japanese title and to restore “Viskeith” in the 3 instances it’s used … Continue reading Aka Lala Oneshot: "Viskeith no Akai Doll" ("Viskeith’s Red Doll" or "The Earl’s Red Doll") by Kaoru Ichinose
