So in my revived enthusiasm for the series, I have come across something that I am now aware of has been missing for some time ( Read more... )

I remember the good ol' days of chatting and sharing things on IRC, the various scanlation groups I have dabbled or worked in, and the drama behind the scenes.  There were those who did the sharing, but wanted to keep it on the down-low because the licensing-vultures were on the prowl to shut us all down, and then there were those who did the ( Read more... )

Ups: Direct access to all the Japanese series that I could ever hope for *__*  I just went crazy and bought 13 volumes of Skip Beat (in no particular order) in Japanese, bought "Norwegian Wood" by Murakami Haruki in both Japanese and English, and preordered "1Q84" which is due to come out in a week.  I love being able to buy all the Japanese goods ( Read more... )

Life has been taxing and I'm just swamped with things to do so I'm really behind on translating and sharing.  I have two chapters of Natural Doggy's from Cita Cita March & May that I have yet to take pics of and upload, and haven't really updated on much at all.  But I brought some good news today ( Read more... )

Yes, my computer was raped by Trojans and the Antivirus Live malware this morning and it sucked.  My computer did the blue-screen-of-doom on me as a self-defense mechanism in order to prevent further damage and then I had to let it mend itself before allowing me back on at all.  My connection, of course, had to suck so it took the effort of two ( Read more... )

I plan on sharing "Natural Doggy's Diary" chapter 14 from Cita Cita March 2010 edition sometime hopefully in the next week or so ... as soon as I get my lazy ass up and taking some pictures.  I am behind on translating, but life has been quite hectic for me lately so please forgive the lateness.  I still have "Natural Doggy's Diary" chapter 7 to ( Read more... )

I didn't think it would happen, but it did.  I am so impressed, I can hardly contain myself.  In the manga world, there have been  two consistent types of manga that I will read: 1) extremely good storylines regardless of art style and 2) very beautiful art style, but not much originality with plot.  Though a lot of times, these really good plot ( Read more... )

This is a very short chapter, and I would provide a trans, but I'm out of time for today.  My internet connection's been patchy and awful these past two weeks so I haven't been able to get on a lot of times at all.  It took so long to upload just 20MB today =_=;  I'm so sad.  Anyway, when I get a chance, I'll provide a translation of the chapter.  ( Read more... )
