"Fushigi no Maria-kun" Chapter 4

K3

First of all, and this has nothing to do with “Fushigi no Maria-kun”, there’s a great Taiwanese live action version of “Skip Beat” in the middle of its run.  It’s up to episode 4.  If you aren’t watching it, go watch it!  It can be found in “the usual places” (don’t ask, because I’m not telling). And now onto “Fushigi no Maria-kun”! It’s been a while since we’ve had a chapter!  As I’ve written before, this series is a challenge in every way.  I’ll like to thank Noir and Ichi for doing a wonderful cleaning and redrawing this chapter.  They … Continue reading "Fushigi no Maria-kun" Chapter 4

"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: "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

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

Fushigi no Maria-kun Chp 3

K3

Tonight was anime night and I was wasn’t sure whether I was going to be able to post this tonight at all, so I did a quick post earlier.  Now I have time to write a full post. This is the third chapter for “Fushigi no Maria-kun” and this time we get to see matters from Maria’s perspective.  My gosh is Maria sweet and huggable!  I liked translating this chapter a lot.  Maria’s inner monologues are beautifully written in Japanese.  I hope I was able to translate some of that beauty into English.  Shiina Dai never ceases to amaze me … Continue reading Fushigi no Maria-kun Chp 3

"Yukarism" Chapter 8

K3

First of all, I would like to acknowledge the effort the team of Omari’s Sister translators put into page 6.  There was a lot of :/, but after a couple of days of e-mail exchanges, I think we got a decent translation.———————-It’s been a while since we’ve had a chapter of “Yukarism”.  Hopefully, this chapter is worth the wait and hopefully the way the chapter ends will help you understand why I held onto it until now.  In this chapter we, along with Yukari, learn a lot about Mahoro.  We also start getting glimpses of what happened between Yuumurasaki, Takamura, … Continue reading "Yukarism" Chapter 8

Fushigi no Maria-kun Chapter 2

K3

Once again, “Fushigi no Maria-kun” proves to be our most difficult series to typeset.  Hopefully we caught all of the errors.  Anyhow…Maria and Toko continue on with their evolving relationship.  I really like how this chapter shows us the weirdness that happens when a childhood friendship starts to blossom into something more.  I like how the vampirism isn’t the focus of the story, but rather the backdrop.  I also like how the story is staying focused on Toko and Maria.  I must admit that I love this kind of innocent sweetness. Onto the links!  Links to “Fushigi no Maria-kun” Chapter … Continue reading Fushigi no Maria-kun Chapter 2

Fall Supernatural One-Shot: "Kamisama no Sonata"

K3

This one-shot is so beautiful, that I stopped everything to get it out immediately.  This one-shot kind of feels like a marriage of “La Corda Oro” and “Seigi no Mikata“.  I love stories with poor, tough, prideful boys.  It’s always so cute when a girl breaks through the boy’s shell, without actually breaking the boy.  Please enjoy the artwork.  Like most of the works from Ichinose-sensei, this one-shot has lush artwork.  And now onto the links!Updated 9/21: Small correction to the translation on page 21 Updated 9/17: Small change to the translation on pages 5 and 53. Links to “Kami-sama … Continue reading Fall Supernatural One-Shot: "Kamisama no Sonata"
