    Damn… I loved the mangas Kotonoha used to translate. All-rounded Meguru was one of my favourites.

      Yeah, I enjoyed working with him. It looks like someone else is still scanlating Meguru, though.

    Do you have Anything and Something by Kaoru Mori? According to BU it’s also translated by Kotonoha.

      Sorry, but I only have the stuff I worked on with them and I didn’t work on that one.

    Thanks for all work you’ve done over the years. Kotonoha was my favorite source of comics as a teen, and now as an adult I’m realizing how these stories shaped my tastes and interests.

    So many series here are still special to me, and I’m so glad I was able to read them. Really, thank you . And I hope you’re doing well!

      Thanks for letting me know! I’m sad that the Kotonaha site went down, but I’m glad I was able to find everything I’d worked on and mirror it here at least.
