Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Ginsekai no Shoumei" by Akiduki Sorata

K3

Here is Akiduki Sorata’s Shiro Lala one-shot “Ginsekai no Shoumei” (“The Snowscape’s Emblem”).  The image above is a scan of one of the freebie post cards.  The large size image (click on the image to see it larger) can be used as wallpaper on your PC or mobile. A note about the spelling of “Akiduki”.  A few people have asked me about the change in the spelling.  I had been spelling it “Akidzuki” and “Akizuki” is another common spelling.  The mangaka herself began romanizing her name and the titles of her works a few months ago.  Whether right or wrong, … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Ginsekai no Shoumei" by Akiduki Sorata

"Seirei Produce" Chapter 7

K3

Huzzah!  “Seirei Produce” is back!  Oh how I missed the Amane/Fuuta comedy pair.  A note on chapters 5 and 6, I had a rare type of brainfart and I only saw the kanjis and discarded the furiganas for the middle brother’s name.  Instead of “Ookami the Black/Blue”, he is “Sou the Wolf”.  Personally, I like “Ookami the Black”…but that’s not the name the mangaka intended.  So it’s “Sou” from now on and I’ve gone back and updated chapters 5 and 6 (hopefully, I’ve caught all instances of it).I also decided to call Fuuta a Fox since the other two brothers … Continue reading "Seirei Produce" Chapter 7

Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Dinner in My Coffin" by Nari Kusakawa

K3

How could I resist a one-shot with a title page like this!?  It’s soooo pretty!  This is actually a scan of the one of the post cards that comes with Shiro Lala.  The other post cards are a clean version of the Shiro Lala cover (Akiduki Sorata’s drawing from her one-shot) and “Wild Wing”.  But I digress…the idea of an all white vampire is cool.  I like the white bats too.  The concept is very nice and different. I really liked this one-shot.  It felt very mature for what’s usually in Lala, without being “adult”.  I wish there were more … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Dinner in My Coffin" by Nari Kusakawa

Shiro Lala One-Shot: "The Sullen Baker and Me"

K3

This unexpectedly became the first one-shot we released from Shiro Lala.  Please forgive us if you’ve already read this from Mousou Scans.  We were well on our way to completing this one-shot when they released it, but I didn’t want to waste the cleaning and redrawing work that had already been done and we did announce our intention to do this one-shot weeks back, so I decided to just crank this out now since it’s short. Anyhow, this one-shot is very different than what we are used to from Matsuri Hino.  It’s a very simple story and the character designs … Continue reading Shiro Lala One-Shot: "The Sullen Baker and Me"

Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Kokoro Rental"

K3

Here’s a one-shot from a mangaka that’s new to me named Chise Hano.  This story has the same campy horror funness as “The Doll Rebirth Workshop”.  Once again, we have another plain girl who sells her soul to the devil.  Hahaha!  I was laughing heartily when I first saw this one-shot.  It’s so ridiculous.  I’d like to the thank Jade for doing a wonderful translation and English adaptation and I’d like to thank the rest of the Omari’s Sister team who worked on this for lightening the load on me.  You all did a beautiful job :). And now for … Continue reading Kuro Lala One-Shot: "Kokoro Rental"

Oh, I almost forgot!  “Akagami no Shirayukihime” volume 6 is available in Japanese. Please support Sorata-sensei by purchasing the book even if you don’t read Japanese.  Here are some purchasing options: Amazon JPYes AsiaHMV If you are timid, I can facilitate the purchase by piggybacking it onto my own purchases.  If you are interested in this option, send me a e-mail via the contact link at the top of this blog. After going back and forth on the matter, I decided that the continuation of “Akagami no Shirayukihime” in Lala magazine should be called chapter 27.  I settled on this … Continue reading Akagami no Shirayukihime Chapter 27

Yukarism Chapter 9

K3

“Yukarism” resumes with a beautiful color page.  The title says the chapter is 45 pages, but it’s only 37 pages.  I guess the chapter is shorter than what was expected or negotiated.  It’s kinda surprising considering that the series was on hiatus for three months.  Oh, well… This chapter has a sad flashback to Yuumurasaki’s and Kazuma’s childhood and ends with a launch pad into what takes place in the past in Edo between Yuumurasaki, Kazuma, and Takamura.  There’s an interesting little historical nugget added to the story (be sure to read the translator notes).  I wonder if this was … Continue reading Yukarism Chapter 9

Magnolia Chapter 16

K3

“Magnolia” chapters continue to get shorter.  Part of me wishes Naked Ape would go on hiatus with “Magnolia” so they can concentrate on finishing “Dolls”.  The way things are now really isn’t fair to “Magnolia”.   I don’t like the trickling pace and I don’t like seeing and sometimes having to fix the many little errors in the artwork that I imagine are due to being rushed. That said, this chapter is pretty entertaining and I like Ayato’s casual outfit.  In the background, though, I think events are starting to get repetitive with respect to Hugo popping up wherever Ayato … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 16
