Inferno Ch2

Once again, I apologise for the wait until the next chapter. Real life is killing me right now, and it doesn't look like it'll be letting up soon.
And also, the scans aren't as good as I would like them, please deal with it for this chapter. I'll have my scanner back soon. =.=' (And if anyone has any tips on scanning, feel free to share them :D)
Having said that, I do have a little something for you today, it's the next chapter of Inferno! There's been quite a gap for this and so to refresh your memories here's the summary again.

After causing the destruction of his parents, the protagonist only lives for the sake of his younger sister and avoids other people. However, a mysterious stranger appears that calls him his master and life changed forever from this point.

Sorry for not replying to the shoutbox or the comments in a while, I really have been hard-pressed for time. Since I don't have much time, I thought I'd offer an alternative. What would you guys think if I just posted up the raws and translations without scanlating anything? I think I might be able to get that out faster. And if you guys wanted, you could take the raws and translations and make your own scanlations, as long as you let me know beforehand and give me credit for scanning and translating. And if you edit the chapter yourself then my 2-day waiting policy wouldn't apply. That's an option. Or I could just keep going with what I've been doing so far.
I'll try and scanlate the next chapter and see how long that takes me. (People who have contacted me before about helping, I'll try and send you guys an email if I decide I want help or if I'm scanning and translating only.)
What do you guys think? (there's a poll too :D)


Over Here for Chapter 2 :)

Love Sick Ch4

Woot! Next chapter of Love Sick out!
And I think I already mentioned this several times, but this is the on where the twin's illnesses are revealed.
Some awesome panels here, I especially love the scenes where Fuyu loses it. I do believe Fuyu is the more twisted of the two twins. :)
(She probably won't end up with Fuyu, so I just have to satisfy myself with a few scenes here and there T_T)

Shiki threw everything away for the sake of revenge. But at the new school where she disguises herself as a male, she meets 4 popular rich guys... Haru (spring) the prince, Natsu (summer) the bishounen, Aki (autumn) the womanizer, and Fuyu (winter) the cold-hearted genius.

What awaits Shiki? And will she get her revenge...?

On a side note, there may be some delays on the next couple of chapters due to personal reasons. The next scanlations may take longer than normal, sorry about that.

Kuranoa Ch3

As promised, it's the third chapter of Kuranoa today!
This chapter is awesome! Yuuichi shows his true colours. (But I saw it coming, no one is that perfect.) and some progression in the plot. Plus, now I'm really, really curious about the sister. I wonder what's up with her? I look forward to that resolution. So many theories running around, most of them not plausible.

The Guardian of Rabbit Ears speaks a sad truth.

He says that if the lost memories are not recovered, your soul will be destroyed.

And so our protagonist Minori naturally begins to search for her lost memories.

Little by little, the shocking truth becomes clear. Minori is actually...?

Enjoy

And on a side note, I'm doing something new in 'updates' where I leave a little note of what I've done that day instead of just what's on the graph, and if there's time I might also include a little collage of what's been done so far, so you can check that out.

Next up is Love Sick ch4. 

Love Sick cover

Well, a while ago someone requested if I could share the colour of v1.
I agreed, but since I'm an idiot, 'colour' translated into 'cover' in my brain.
I'm really sorry, but love sick v1 actually has no colour pages. I'm disappointed too.
But here's the cover that never got shown:
(and once again, I'm really sorry about the confusion I caused.)
This is all I can share. T_T

And on a side note, after I'm done with Kuranoa, Love Sick ch4 is coming up. But you've probably already figured that out :)

Conductor Ch1

And finally, it's time for a new project that has been much anticipated.

This chapter is a joint with the amazing people over at hyper parfait~ go over and say hi :D
Many thanks to Ayu, Sapphire Pyro, Ensuing, Yukihito and Miriallia for making thi s possible. :)
And make note of their policies, let them know if you want to upload the chapter anywhere.

The first chapter is wicked long, 100 pages and hope you guys have fun with it. It's a superb manga, and I'm hooked from the first chapter. So many mysteries already revealed, and the second chapter so far isn't disappointing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a supernatural twist, but even without one it's fantastic! SO GO READ IT! haha
(and as mentioned, please wait two days before uploading.)

Kuchiki, a flautist, was plagued by nightmares every night that forced her to seek the help of counsellor Matsuzaki.

Ishikura, a police inspector, unexpectedly discovered a headless mummified body in an empty apartment and is now on the case.

When Kuchiki regains her lost memories, the curtains also opens to a tragedy!

THE CHAPTER!

Zere Sacrifice Ch3

Here is the next chapter, in which the plot is set up on how it shall unfold later. It's looking a little cliched, but we'll see what happens. :)

Losing her parents and being supported by her childhood friend Chikage, Yuiko is living a modest life with her grandfather. But one day, a man with black clothes, white hair, and red eyes that hold a terrifying beauty appears before her. He says..."I've found you. My sacrifice..." Is there a way for Yuiko to resist her unfolding fate?

Just a reminder, wait two days before uploading this chapter to any other sites.

About Uploading

I don't know how many people read this, but I've stated that I would prefer if people didn't host my scanlations on websites such as mangafox, but I've been ignored as I see my scanlations popping up an hour after I release them.

I did say that if I wanted them up on the site, I would post them up myself, and I have done this a few times but most of the time someone else does it before I get there. I don't think I'm demanding anything unreasonable, it's not that hard to download 8mb of data from mediafire, there's no password or post count or anything. I admit that online readers are helpful when you want to read a series that's 10+ chapters long and would be a hassle to download, which is why I intended to upload my scanlations two or three days later. But on a new release, that's only one chapter. That doesn't take long at all, so there's really no reason why using an online reader is any trickier than just downloading the file directly.

That having been said, I'll be changing my policy now. Wait two days. Then you guys can go upload wherever you want. I'm going to try this, and see what happens. If I find my scanlations turning up as soon as I release them, then I'll be more strict, i.e. invited readers only and password protected files. Please don't make me do this. It may be selfish, but scanlating is a lot of work, and I'm spending my own time and money on this. You don't even need to comment, just dropping by is enough. I just don't want you to take scanlations for granted, which is kind of the feeling I get when I see some of the comments on mangafox. I think I'm going a little off topic here, but the point is JUST WAIT TWO DAYS BEFORE YOU GO UPLOADING MY SCANLATIONS TO ONLINE READERS.  I don't think it's unreasonable, you don't even need my permission to upload. Please be considerate.

And thanks to all the support that you guys have been giving me, it's great to know, and I really appreciate them. I'm not trying to be a jerk, it just makes me feel uncomfortable when I see me requests ignored like that.

Please don't take this rant the wrong way, I know there are heaps of great people out there, and the point of scanlation is to share the awesome manga around. (online readers are a good way to do this) but please, just follow this policy. Part of the reason for this post was also the fact that people were consistently ignoring my rules. Thank you guys so much.

And on an extra note, just realised that there are some missing pages in Love Sick ch3. I've temporarily removed the dl links as I fix those pages, and it'll be up soon today. Sorry for any inconvenience or confusion.

Edit: They're back up now. Here's the link again. :)

Love Sick Ch3

...I feel like I'm translating some of Aki's lines wrong, like the stuff about the six people and stuff. And Haru's about his mom, because it doesn't sound quite right. Maybe I'll try again later, and if there's a discrepancy that turns up later I'll go back and fix it. But for now, here's the chapter. And as usual, please excuse my mistakes =.='

And a Happy Halloween to you all!

Shiki threw everything away for the sake of revenge. But at the new school where she disguises herself as a male, she meets 4 popular rich guys... Haru (spring) the prince, Natsu (summer) the bishounen, Aki (autumn) the womanizer, and Fuyu (winter) the cold-hearted genius.

What awaits Shiki? And will she get her revenge...?

\\(O.O)//

Kuranoa Ch2

And here is the second chapter of Kuranoa. I actually really like this serious, and I hope it continues down this track. Nice bit of foreshadowing with Yuuichi, and since this is based off an otome game I'm pretty sure that all the guys will have some feelings for her. And lol, so many gorgeous guys to choose from. :P
And the psychological aspect has me wondering if Ichi and Nana actually exist. I have my fingers crossed that they do.

The Guardian of Rabbit Ears speaks a sad truth.

He says that if the lost memories are not recovered, your soul will be destroyed

And so our protagonist Minori naturally begins to search for her lost memories.

Little by little, the shocking truth becomes clear. Minori is actually...?

Over Here

Zere Sacrifice Ch2

And here is the second chapter of Zere Sacrifice!

Losing her parents and being supported by her childhood friend Chikage, Yuiko is living a modest life with her grandfather. But one day, a man with black clothes, white hair, and red eyes that hold a terrifying beauty appears before her. He says..."I've found you. My sacrifice..." Is there a way for Yuiko to resist her unfolding fate?

A few things are explained here, and I'm wondering how the author's going to tie everything together. We shall see, we shall see :3
This one didn't take that long because it was a shorter chapter, which is nice. And there's just something about Zere Sacrifice that's just easy to translate, not sure what. But whatever it is, it's very much appreciated. :P

CLICK!

Love Sick Ch2

Well, here's the second chapter of 'Love Sick'. The first chapter was released some time ago by Omari's sister, and it's a pretty interesting story.

Shiki threw everything away for the sake of revenge. But at the new school where she disguises herself as a male, she meets 4 popular rich guys... Haru (spring) the prince, Natsu (summer) the bishounen, Aki (autumn) the womanizer, and Fuyu (winter) the cold-hearted genius.What awaits Shiki? And will she get her revenge...?

I took a peek at the rest of the volumes, and it's a nice read, though I suppose not that ground-breaking. But Aki and Fuyu's illness...O.O I did NOT see that one coming. (But I suppose I shouldn't have mentioned that, it doesn't actually get shown until a few chapters later, so wait and see. :P)
I suppose this chapter was establishing where things stand, but some nice scenes in there.

Enjoy :)

Kuranoa ch1

Another chapter, of another new project!!
This is the first chapter of Kuranoa:

The Guardian of Usagi no Mimi speaks a sad truth.He says that if the lost memories are not recovered, your soul will be destroyed.And so our protagonist Minori naturally begins to search for the lost memories.Little by little, the shocking truth becomes clear. Minori is actually...?

I actually quite like this manga, it really makes me want to know more about what's going on, and it's nice that there are so many bishounen running around. I think the plot has some interesting aspects to it, even if some aspects are cliched. I'm expecting good things from this manga, and hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

Just on a side note, next up is Love Sick ch2 :)

The chapter is here~

Zere Sacrifice Ch1

Lo and behold, here is the first chapter of another new project, Zere Sacrifice.

Cliffhanger ending, with the introduction of the aforementioned red-eyed man. Not much shown about him, but we shall see. :)

And I really wish that a certain character would come back to life. Who knows, it might actually happen. :D

I really suck at writing these intro thingies, so I'll stop wasting your time and give you the first chapter!

Hope you guys enjoy it. ;)

Inferno Ch1

Woop! New series! This one's called Inferno, and here's the summary from mangaupdates: 

After causing the destruction of his parents, the protagonist only lives for the sake of his younger sister and avoids other people. However a mysterious stranger appears that calls him his master and life changed forever from this point.

I quite like the first chapter, and I'd like to know what happens next, but once again there might be a wait for the raws. =.=' sorry about that.

This was scanned by Sapphire Pyro, her site.

She has a scanlation group too, with lots of amazing projects. (Well, I like a lot of them :)) Go take a look. :)

And just a note, the next project I'm working on will probably be Zere Sacrifice. After that, I'm still not sure yet, haha.

To the chapter -->

Nise no Chigiri Drama CD

 Nise no Chigiri is an otome game recently released by Idea Factory for PSP. There's also a manga being serialised right now, in Aria magazine. This drama CD was actually an extra from said magazine ;)

I actually haven't played the game, but I've seen the first chapters of the manga, and it's about a girl from the modern world who gets sucked back in time and ends up in the Senkoku Jidai. The manga seems okay so far, and since it's based off an otome game, lots of guys turning up. :DD
I think, not completely sure, that there's some demon hunting involved. Once again, not 100% sure, I could be confusing this with some other manga.

Here's the CD for anyone that's interested. (The first ten tracks are character introductions.)

And if you want to take a look, the first chapter is out on chinese manga sites: http://dm.99manga.com/comic/6546/
Personally, I think the art's pretty good. :3

Link to the CD (This time it's on 4shared because Mediafire hates me right now.

And also, here's the poll of future projects. Again. :)

What should I work on next?

New Projects

Well, like I said before, the next volume of Tenchi Shinmei won't be out til January of next year, so I'll be working on some other projects. I said I'd take a hiatus, but I started working on another project for some reason. O.O
It's called Inferno, and here's the MU link. And my banner is from that project.
The scans are from Sapphire Pyro, much thanks to her. She has the first chapter, so I'll be scanlating that, but there aren't any volumes out yet, so once again it might be a wait until the next chapter. (Unless she has the next chapter too, I haven't asked yet ^_^)
But after that first chapter I'll be starting some other projects. These are the one I have in mind, but there's just a little too many to do at once. I'm thinking about picking up two or three, and that's where you guys come in. Just vote in the poll of whatever project you're most interested in.

And the projects are...

Zere Sacrifice
Losing her parents and being supported by her childhood friend Chikage, Yuiko is living a modest life with her grandfather. But one day, a man with black clothes, white hair, and red eyes that hold a terrifying beauty appears before her. He says..."I've found you. My sacrifice..." Is there a way for Yuiko to resist her unfolding fate?

Kuranoa (or Cry No More)
The Guardian of Usagi no Mimi speaks a sad truth.
He says that if the lost memories are not recovered, your soul will be destroyed.
And so our protagonist Minori naturally begins to search for the lost memories.
Little by little, the shocking truth becomes clear. Minori is actually...?

Love Sick
From Houkago Scanlations:
Shiki threw everything away for the sake of revenge. But at the new school where she disguises herself as a male, she meets 4 popular rich guys... Haru (spring) the prince, Natsu (summer) the bishounen, Aki (autumn) the womanizer, and Fuyu (winter) the cold-hearted genius.
What awaits Shiki? And will she get her revenge...?
The first chapter has been released by Omari's Sister already, and you can go check that out.


Princess Nightmare
For her birthday present, she wishes she could be an ordinary girl. She commutes to Rose Academy in Usuyami Town. She is Little, a beautiful 114 year old vampire. Her brother Radou watches her, there's a werewolf servant Inukai, and the magical boy Shinji. The ghost that threatens Little's school life has appeared.
This one's based off an otome game, so there's bound to be a reverse harem with lots of guys. :) (And I know this summary isn't very good...hehe)


I also have v2 of will o' wisp. I'm probably not going to scanlate though, as it still seems to be a project being worked on, though if people are interested I could give summaries of the chapter. And if they dropped it I wouldn't mind taking over the scanlation. 


So...vote in da poll! And we'll see how it goes. :)

What should I work on next?

Yup, I moved.

I actually don't really have much of an idea why, but I'm going to be updating this blog for now.
I guess I'll keep my LJ as well, and just see which one feels more comfortable to me. :DD
And this is pretty much a post that says...nothing.
A filler post. Hopefully more stuff will be up soon.

(And just a little hint, my hiatus may not be much of a hiatus at all. )
