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...?

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.
