  • I’ll Always Be Here

    As some of you may remember, several years ago I was working on a collaboration with Occasional Amateur Scanlations to put out some old Kawahara Kazune one-shots. I had the translations done a long time ago, but life interfered and they never got beyond the script stage. But today I got a suprise email from Occasional Amateur Scanlations saying the final story in A Can of Happiness was completed!

  • Himegoto ch. 9

    Well, this will probably be my last release for 2012. As is always the case, I wish I’d gotten more done, but oh well.

    Oh, and in semi-related news, I’ve started writing a monthly column over on Manga Bookshelf about series I’d like to see get an official English release. My first two posts have been about Aozora Yell and Kinou Nani Tabeta? but I also plan to write about older series in the future as well. If you’re interested in hearing me gush about manga I love, you might want to check it out. :)

  • Himegoto ch. 8 + announcement

    I know I said once before that I wasn’t going to continue summarising 7 Seeds and then I did, but this time it’s for real. The scanlations are pretty much caught up and I only ever started writing the summaries to tide people over until we got to that point. I really enjoyed writing them and discussing the manga with everyone and I’ll miss that for sure, but I’m glad to have one less project to keep track of. If you’re following Tsukihana‘s scanlations, I’m sure I’ll see you around there. :)
