Halloween Oneshot: "Yadokari Honpo" by Shizuru Onda

K3

Update: The PDF has been fixed. Please let me know if you still have trouble with it. I’m releasing this before midnight because I’m crazy tired and just want to go to sleep! This is our second to last oneshot from last year’s Kuro Lala.  Can you believe we nearly translated the entire magazine?! Haha! I would like to thank Amrai for translating this challenging oneshot.  Also, thanks goes out to Noir for a fabulous job cleaning and Kiruku Naru for typesetting.  Great work, ladies! What drew me to this oneshot were the character drawings and the scary ghost drawings. … Continue reading Halloween Oneshot: "Yadokari Honpo" by Shizuru Onda

Halloween Oneshot: "Inoribana" ("Prayer Flower") by Mikase Hayase

K3

Here’s another excellent oneshot from Mikase Hayase. It not as weep-yourself-into-a-pool-of-tears as “Souai Metaphysica,” but it’s impactful (I still get teary-eyed when I think of that oneshot), nonetheless I think what got me was the all too honest ending. It was amazing once I finally understood the full gravity of what was being said.  The ending is truly lovely. Because of the two oneshots we’ve translated so far, I’m very curious about Hayashi-sensei’s other works, and I’m sure in 2013 we’ll do a month featuring some of her more recent works. Anyhow, without saying much further about this oneshot, because … Continue reading Halloween Oneshot: "Inoribana" ("Prayer Flower") by Mikase Hayase

Halloween Oneshot: "Hakamori Majo Bianca" Part 1 ("Grave Keeper Witch Bianca") by Aroe Yamazaki

K3

First of all, Bianca isn’t ugly! I think she very cute.  She looks like Sally from “The Nightmare Before Christmas.”  I would definitely buy a Bianca doll. This is another oneshot I’ve been sitting on for a while.  I wanted to release it in October, and it was agony waiting.  During this wait, a second oneshot came out and then a third oneshot was released in Japan last week.  The second oneshot will be released next and the third oneshot will be released toward the end of the month.  It looks to me that this is heading to being an … Continue reading Halloween Oneshot: "Hakamori Majo Bianca" Part 1 ("Grave Keeper Witch Bianca") by Aroe Yamazaki

Halloween One-shot: "F no Meikyuu" ("The Mystery of F") by Akira Hagio

K3

We’ve been sitting on this oneshot for months.  It’s from 2011’s Kuro Lala.  There was a follow up oneshot in Lala DX and it eventually became a series in Lala DX.  That series is still running.  When we started this oneshot, we didn’t know it would become a series, so we didn’t plan on doing anymore than the initial oneshot.  That is still our stance now.  Although this is a really good oneshot, it’s not something this group would commit to as a series. This oneshot has a mystery that we don’t even know of until it’s solved.  I know … Continue reading Halloween One-shot: "F no Meikyuu" ("The Mystery of F") by Akira Hagio

Halloween Oneshot: "Tomo no Kowai Hanashi" (Tomo’s Scary Story") by Panya Koro

K3

If you’ve been following the conversations in the chatbox or on Twitter, then you know this is the freaky little tale the group has been talking about.  This is one of the creepier oneshots that we’ll be releasing this month.  I hope you enjoy it as much as the group did. On to the release! Link to “Tomo’s Scary Story”: (PDF) Next up on the 5th will be a more traditional Halloween spooky tale *insert maniacal cackling* Continue reading Halloween Oneshot: "Tomo no Kowai Hanashi" (Tomo’s Scary Story") by Panya Koro
