One-Shot: "Twelve o’Clock Bell Rings"

K3

We had originally planned to release this one-shot a little over the week ago, but there was a duplication with Turtle Paradise so I cancelled it even though it was almost ready.  But we talked it over within the group and received some encouragement from Turtle Paradise and, as a result, I decided to go ahead and finish it and release it.  Suzume, Ichigo Stars, and I spent too much time cleaning and redrawing the images to let the work go to waste. This one-shot is more about the artist style than the story for me, although the end is … Continue reading One-Shot: "Twelve o’Clock Bell Rings"

Junketsu + Kareshi Chapter 9

K3

Update:  One content farm uploaded the chapter ugly watermarks and all.  Therefore, chapter 10 will be similarly watermarked.  Go give thanks to them.  I have sent this website an e-mail.  Hopefully, they will take down our projects so we can end this stupidity before we get to chapter 10.——————-Here is “Junketsu + Kareshi” chapter 9 and as I warned, I’ve watermarked some of the pages in the zip file because some bad actors continued to upload this series to manga aggregation websites and content farms.  I feel bad doing this because the artwork in the series is gorgeous.  I beg … Continue reading Junketsu + Kareshi Chapter 9

One-Shot: "3 Hearts" by Ichinose Kaoru

K3

I love stories with handsome rogues, mysterious women, moonlit nights, and stolen treasure.  Ah, yes, the romance of it all is the best and, in my humble opinion, this one-shot delivers.  Sigh…I would love this one-shot to be translated into a live action or animated movie.  It would be so beautiful! Don’t have many deep thoughts about this one-shots.  It’s just a confections to enjoy.  I do wonder whether calling the main character “Jin Tonic” is a little bit of call back to “King of Bandits Jing”.  In that series all the “Jing Girls” were named after mixed drinks.  I … Continue reading One-Shot: "3 Hearts" by Ichinose Kaoru

"The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 4

K3

  Yep! We do have two releases today!  I hope you all will take the time to read both “Yukarism” and “The Ghost Apartment Manager”.  “The Ghost Apartment Manager” isn’t typical shoujo, but I hope if you’ve never read the series you will give it try, because it is a series with lots of heart and humor.  Here’s a link to the first chapter.  Chapter 4 involves dealing with the death of a pet.  It may cause a few of you to sniffle.  Personally, I always get a little misty whenever I see guys of any age cry.  Anyhow, like … Continue reading "The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 4

Magnolia Chapter 10 — Beefcake! Beefcake!

K3

  I suspect after this chapter, Sui is going to gain some new fans.  I didn’t expect to see a different side of Sui, so this chapter was a happy surprise and I heap praise upon Naked Ape for developing Sui this way. Oh!  And thanks to Ichigo Stars for help with the title page! Links to Magnolia Chapter 10:  (Zip) (PDF) Spoiler Alert!  Spoilers Ahead! My Thoughts on this Chapter: Sui…oh my…so, can we also have the side series “Sui” or maybe just a short omake?  So…why can Ayato abdicate so Sui can be king?  What’s going on with … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 10 — Beefcake!

Akagami no Shirayukihime Chapter 24

K3

This was supposed to come out a little over a week ago, but sometimes life takes unexpected and sad turns, and people have to stop everything to observe the passing of a life.  It’s difficult to take the passing of someone your own age.  I didn’t know the deceased well, but her death did cause me to pause and assess my own mortality.  All I have to say is life is fragile, so make everyday your best :). Anyhow…here’s Akagami no Shirayukihime chapter 24.  This chapter taunted and teased me the whole time.  It really fought against get done.  Hahaha!  … Continue reading Akagami no Shirayukihime Chapter 24

Ouran High School Host Club Volume 18 Extras

K3

First of all, let me encourage you to buy this volume in Japanese, whether you can read it or not (you should have the translation already), in order to directly support Hatori-sensei.  Here are some links to online stores: Amazon Japan Yes Asia ($7.99 + $3.99 shipping!) And now onto the good stuff.  Like somebody else commented in the teaser post, these extras should give most everyone a satisfying end to the “Ouran High School Host Club” series.  I still want more Kyouya…but I’ll live, I suppose.  Also…I shouldn’t complain too much since I did get this (as written in … Continue reading Ouran High School Host Club Volume 18 Extras
