Kuranoa Ch 5

And with a new addition to the group, Nati-chan, we bring you another release of Kuranoa. She was a huge help typesetting this chapter. Sadly, this is the last chapter in the volume and the second volume isn't released yet. (This seems to happen a lot.) sorry about that guys, but we're taking advantage of this break to start a new project, Princess Nightmare, so look forward to that soon. :)


The Guardian with rabbit ears proclaims the sad truth.
"If your lost memories are not recovered, your soul will be destroyed."Little by little, the shocking truth becomes clear. Minori is actually...? 
And so our protagonist Minori naturally begins to search for her lost memories.

Enjoy :)

Zere Sacrifice Ch 5

And it's the next chapter of Zere Sacrifice!

This is a while in the making, but there's only one more chapter left of the first volume.
Things are starting to move forward, which is nice to see.


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?
Also, there's a new addition to the team, Nati-chan! She'll be typesetting Kuranoa, and also Princess Nightmare once I finish up with Inferno. Thanks so much, you'll be a huge help. :D

Which means that Princess Nightmare will most likely be our next project.

I'm also thinking about starting another project, and it'll be between Will o Wisp, Planetary* and Tindharia no Tane. A poll is up for you to vote in. :)

Update on Some Previous Releases

Well, someone noticed a while back that there was a missing page in Inferno ch2, and I said I'd fix it...but...hehe, as you can tell it's been a while. I finally got around to it, and hopefully I'm not too late. V2 is now up, and the downloads page has been updated with the fixed page.

Also a while back, I mentioned that I wasn't sure about some translations done in Love Sick ch3. It was about Haru's wound, and looking back I realised I missed an important piece of information. Haru's wound was inflicted by his mother. (I think) Hopefully this time I read the text correctly...if not, then expect a v3 of this chapter and my apologies.

The download page has been updated with both  new chapters, and below are also links to download.
For those of you who don't want to download the entire file, below are the two modified pages.

Inferno ch3 pg44

Love Sick Ch6 + Kuranoa Ch4

Haha, this is off schedule, but all thanks to a new (first!) addition to the group, Fia. She helped typeset this chapter, and so it's out for all to see. Be sure to thank her, guys. :)

Be sure to look out for the next volume, where Natsu's illness is revealed. (But I already have the next volume so there won't be any massive delays.) Phew, it always feels good to finish a volume. :) Hope you had as much fun with Love Sick as we did.

Also, a translator note/clarification: I mentioned in one of my earlier posts I wasn't sure if I had gotten all of the translations for Haru's injury write. There was something about his mother that I was confused about, and I'm just clarifying that it was his mother that gave him that injury. And that you might see here sometime later in the manga, but it's going to be a while. :)
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...?
And it's been a while, but here's the next chapter of Kuranoa. I just love this series, so many little twists that keeps you guessing. I have so many theories for this series, and I have no idea where it's going because THE NEXT VOLUME STILL ISN'T OUT YET!! Hopefully, by the time I finish scanlating chapter 5 it'll have been release, but if not...not much can be done.

And in this chapter a new bishie is introduced, though I'm not holding out too much hope for him. he was introduced too late, and doesn't seem to be anything special, but we shall see.
The Guardian with rabbit ears proclaims the sad truth.

"If your 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...?
And also as a side note, I know I said Tenchi Shinmei would be released in January, but I've been checking the Kodansha site and so far there's been no news of a second volume. Or maybe there has and I've just missed it. And also, in the release schedule they have for their comics, Tenchi Shinmei wasn't listed in the February section either. >:O So I don't know what's going on. If anyone has any news, please let me know. Meanwhile, I'll keep looking.

Inferno Ch3

And so we move forward in this manga. Only one chapter left until its end, it's a fast paced serious. I wonder how everything's going to wrap up? Well, at least the chapters are relatively long. :)

Just a note, and a bit spoilery if you haven't read the first chapter. I translated Kiki's position as 'Enma Raja', and sometimes he's just called 'Enma'. Enma actually means something like the devil, or ruler of the realm of the dead. So that's the position Kiki holds/held. :)

Also, the religion in this manga appears to be Buddhism, so when they talk about the transmigration of the soul it's the cycle of rebirth. I'm not too clear on the princples, but this article might clear some things up.

Spoiler: (Kind of) From some hints dropped in this chapter, I think it's pretty clear that Kinume's dead. Otherwise, how else would the katana have cut him? Of course, this might not be true, as I haven't looked too closely at the last chapter yet. So at this point it's all speculation, but the evidence is all pointing that way, at least for me. :)

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.

Conductor Ch 2

And finally, it's that time again for CONDUCTOR! It's been a while since a release, but the folks over at Zero Alliance and I have been working really hard on getting this back to you. It's another exciting chapter, and the mystery thickens. I'm really liking this project more and more with each chapter that goes by. And the suspense just keeps building, which is a pain, but so worth it! I still have no idea who the conductor is, and so many questions about the corpse. Hopefully this won't keep us hanging for too much longer. :)

So many people have worked on this project and made it all possible, and they've done an amazing job. Make sure to show your gratitude!


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!

Joint with The Zero Alliance

Many thanks too Ayu for scanning such a huge chapter (60 pages!!), Sapphire for being an amazing jack of all trades (cleaner, typesetter, proofreader, quality checker), Sa-chan for being a brilliant redrawer (I bow down to your skills) and Yukihito for putting up with my bad translations and patiently proofreading and quality checking. You guys are all great.

You guys should check their site out, they have heaps of awesome projects. And if you like them, why not join the alliance?

And this site could use some help too. Especially Translators and Typesetters, though other positions are open too. Check out the 'Updates' page for more info. :)

I need to apologise again to Sapphire for putting up with all my tardiness in getting this release out, patiently waiting TWO HOURS until I got back home and went online. So you can blame me for delaying the release of this action-packed chapter. =.='

CHAPTER HERE!

Double Release

Heh, so I went offline for a while there. But I was moving around a lot, caught up in RL, and part of that time was spent in China, with the Great Firewall that blocks even blogspot. But I have escaped. And here I am, to give you releases, though I am a little late. To make up for the gap, instead of the usual one, here are two chapters.
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?
And also ...
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...? 
                                                 Zere ch4                                   Love ch5

And I have given thought to asking for help, and have decided that I can't juggle all these projects by myself, so I'm here to ask if anyone's interested in trying a little scanlating. :)
If interested, check out the 'Updates' page.
