"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.

Halloween Oneshot: "Yadokari Honpo" by Shizuru Onda

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

Zero-Sum Ward One-Shot: "Noenoto"

I’m releasing this now and if I have to apologize, I’ll apologize later.  Hahaha! It shouldn’t be a big deal.  Anyhow, this is a joint project between us and The Zero Alliance. If all goes well, it should appear on their website in a few hours once the workday is done on the other side of the world. This is a shounen-ish one-shot from Zero-Sum Ward.  This one-shot has been sitting around half done for about a year.  Sorry. It was meant for Bakeneko’s Lair…but, well…you know the story by now :). Not much to say about this one-shot, other … Continue reading Zero-Sum Ward One-Shot: "Noenoto"

The Ghost Apartment Manager Chapter 9

It’s been about 6 months since we released the last chapter of this series.  I think it just got lost in the shuffle.  This is actually one of the easier series to translate and clean, so there really is no excuse other than it slipped through the cracks. We should have chapter 10 ready in July soon after our month long anniversary celebration :). In this chapter we begin to explore Crook’s past.  He’s as emo as he looks and it’s pretty sad.  I don’t want to say too much about this chapter because it’s a good read. On to … Continue reading The Ghost Apartment Manager Chapter 9

"Fushigi no Maria-kun" Chapter 5

We are now on the second volume of “Fushigi no Maria-kun”!  There are nine chapters total in this series. Hopefully we’ll be able to finish it before the end of the year.  Haha! This is truly a challenging series. The redraws, translation, and typesetting are all horrendous.  But I think it’s worth it. This story is very heartwarming and Shiina Dai’s dialog is always a treat to translate. I wish it could have released this chapter in April since it’s a story about cherry blossom viewing.  My favorite part of this chapter is the conversation between Maria and Toko’s father.  … Continue reading "Fushigi no Maria-kun" Chapter 5

"Yukarism" Chapter 11

Here is the final chapter of “Yukarism” before it went on hiatus.  I don’t know when “Yukarism” will return, but I hope it’s not too long and I hope the series isn’t abandoned.  It’s too good of a series to kill before it’s done.  It does worry me, though, like the other series that went on hiatus, when it does return the story will be rushed to an end.*Wringing hands* Anyhow, we learn more about Kazuma’s woes and we begin to understand why he’s doomed and why he’s so freaking insane.  I feel so bad that his happy little family … Continue reading "Yukarism" Chapter 11

"Yukarism" Chp 10

It’s been a while since we had a chapter of “Yukarism”.  The series is currently on hiatus, so I decided there was no urgent need for releases.  It looks like Shiomi-sensei has recovered enough to start drawing again (a new chapter of “Nanatsu Kururi” came out in the latest issue of Itan) and she spoke on Twitter about finishing the manuscript for the end of an unnamed series…hmm…But keep in mind that Shiomi-sensei currently has three series running. I did see the listing for Betsuhana 6 and “Yukarism” doesn’t appear.  I guess we have to wait at least two months … Continue reading "Yukarism" Chp 10

"Fushigi no Maria-kun" Bonus Story: "The Wounds that Cover Us" (Manshinsoui no Futari")

This is the extra short one-shot included in “Fushigi no Maria-kun” Volume 1.  It’s a cute little high school romance story.  I always like it when authors are able to tell a complete story in very few pages. Oh!  This is also the debut project for our newest typesetter, Rien!  Let’s all welcome Rien 🙂Links to “The Wounds that Cover Us”: (Zip) (PDF) The next chapter of “Fushigi no Maria-kun” will come out in March (hopefully).
