"Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 28

K3

I only got one proofread on this, but I wanted to put it out now before New’s Year activities sweep me away.  Hopefully, we caught all of the egregious typos.  I’ll update the file at a later time if more typos are discovered. I’d like to thank Amrai for taking on the difficult task of translating this chapter.  The Akidzuki Word Salad was horrifically bitter and full of tear inducing onions this time.  I’d also like to thank Kotomi for helping me beat the script into shape.  This chapter was a challenge all around. This is the last re-introduction chapter … Continue reading "Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 28

"Seirei Produce" Chapter 8

K3

Strangely enough, this chapter is very appropriate for Christmas because Amane’s backstory is eerily similar to the story of another spirit that descended to Earth whose birth we celebrate this time of year.  Hmmm…It’s an interesting twist on that story.  Hahaha!  I wonder if there will be any further parallels. In this chapter we get a big dose of Amane’s back story and the link between what happened to Shiina as a child when she died.  A lot of this links back the extra story that came out between chapters 5 and 6.  In case you haven’t read it, here’s … Continue reading "Seirei Produce" Chapter 8

"Magnolia" Chapter 17

K3

First a little shameless plug to encourage you all to give the mangaka money for this manga series by purchasing the books.  Volume 3 (Chapters 10 – 16) has just been released and it has a beautiful drawing of Nagi on the cover and the full drawing of Nagi on the first inside page.  There’s also a drama CD available. Here are some links to purchase! Amazon Japan via Naked Ape’s Amazon Storefront:(Volume 3 only) (Volume 3 + Drama CD) Yes Asia:(Volume 3) (Volume 3 + Drama CD) Since I didn’t know Volume 3 came with the Drama CD, I … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 17

One-Shot: "Seimei desu ga nani ka?" ("I’m Seimei. What of it?")

K3

WAH-BAM!  It’s another one-shot!  This one is a “Shounen for girls” type of one-shot.  I wanted to release this one over a year ago, but it kept getting kicked down the road.  I’m happy we finally finish this one.  Big thanks to Blotty Parchment for taking on the challenge of translating this one-shot.  There were a lot of exorcist terms she had to research.  On top of that, there are language differences between Shoujo and Shounen manga.  It can be a little tough for folks like us who aren’t native Japanese speakers.  Also, thanks to Sapphire Pyro for the beautiful … Continue reading One-Shot: "Seimei desu ga nani ka?"

Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Kachuu no Ou" ("The Flowering King")

K3

Here is a one-shot from Yuki Kure (“La Corda Oro”).  This is very different from La Corda and her other one-shots.  I liked it a lot because it seemed more mature than her other works.  I really wish this was a two or three part mini-series because I would have liked to have seen more of the two main characters’ back story.  Oh well…Update:  12/12/2011:  Updated the title after some thought.  I think this captures the spirit of “kachuu” more. Anyhow…here are the links! Links to “Kachuu no Ou”: (Zip) (PDF) Next up!  Haha!  There are a few things close … Continue reading Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Kachuu no Ou" ("The Flowering King")

"The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 8

K3

It’s been over 3 months since we’ve released a chapter of “The Ghost Apartment Manager”.  I’m sorry to the fans and myself.  This is a special series and I think it’s probably our most underrated series.  If you’ve never read this series, I suggest you give it a try.  The first chapter is really depressing, but once you get past it, the fun begins. In this chapter we begin Crook’s arc.  The chapters following this are beautifully drawn.  I expect Crook’s arc will have a lot of emotional impact.  We also learn some more about Leo’s death.  I have this … Continue reading "The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 8

Shiro Lala One-shot: "The Wizard and the Love Potion"

K3

This is a really sweet one-shot.  As of now this is tied with “Dinner in my Coffin” as my favorite Shiro Lala one-shot.  This one-shot had tough redraws on nearly every page, so I would like to thank Ichigo Stars and Kumiko for all the work they put in to make the release of this one-shot possible.  It’s beautiful, you guys!  I really appreciate it. This one-shot plays with fairytale troupes.  It feels very familiar, but I think this one-shot was well done, so I enjoyed the “remix”.  If you haven’t read Toyota Yuu’s other one-shot “The Honeybee Earl and … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-shot: "The Wizard and the Love Potion"
