...well, I'm heading off to DC in a few hours for the inauguration, and won't be back until Wednesday night...
...it would the perfect time to post a new chapter of something so I could bask in the glow of new comments when I got back, but Rune Factory 2's been devouring my soul for the past two weeks or so.
As such, no can do... barring some miracle.
Anywho, a new crop of mangathings has grown in number enough to warrant me posting here... so here it is. If anyone out there feels like editing for me, that would be all kinds of awesome. Either post a comment here, or email me at horobinomichi at gmail dot com.
...and my editor for Fairial Garden seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth, so I'll be needing help with that again. ._.;;
And now, manga introductions...
Shokushu HimeThe kingdom of Sergei has a problem... the creatures of darkness known as Phantom Beasts have been appearing with increasing regularity, and attacking the populace...
...so Allemande, the Second Princess of the kingdom, has been tasked with keeping the peace. In addition to her impressive skill with the sword, she's she can also use her talking teddybear partner Maro to summon her own Phantom Beasts when things get too rough...
...well, Phantom Beast tentacles. They might be ugly, but they get the job done.
Despite the suggestive title, this manga is actually pretty clean... aside from the occasional fanservicey clothes-ripping from attacks or whatnots. Nothing too serious, and the story is more humorous than serious.
Currently have the first chapter translated. (been up there for a while, actually...)
Volume 1 rawSugar wa OtoshigoroHatanaka Keiko's an odd girl with odd aspirations(I mean, REALLY weird), but she tries her best to fit in with the other girls in her class... she still sucks at it, though.
One day, she meets Asami, a girl who's even more of an outcast than she is... but unlike Keiko, Asami's own "outsider" status doesn't seem to bother her in the slightest.
As they grow closer, what's going to happen to Keiko's standing among the other girls? And what about Asami's own issues?
I REALLY like this series, and have been wanting to do it for quite some time now... there's a very strong yuri thing going into the series as Keiko and Asami's relationship progresses, but I honestly have no idea how it'll wind up in the end... Just a warning there.
But the first two volumes managed to get a 4/5 yuri rating on Yuri na Hibi, so one can hope...
Currently have the first chapter translated.
Raw chapters:
1 2 3 4 5Alice no ShouseiCodenamed Alice, she's an expert assassin...
...well, a trainee assassin. But she's still highly-skilled with various forms of firearms, and she gets the job done...
...this is more goofy fluff than anything, but it's FUNNY fluff. I like it, and I'm not even really all that into guns. o/
First volume rawHekikai no AionTsugawa Tatsuya just lost his parents in an accident... but he's trying not to let that keep him too down as he starts highschool.
While trying to obey his father's final wish for him to become an upstanding man, he ends up helping a girl who was being bullied. Despite her exceedingly cold nature, he just can't leave her alone... which may not necessarily be to his benefit, as he ends up getting wrapped up in a world where things like parasitic mind-controlling bugs exist...
I read the first volume last night, and it's quite good... the art's pretty, and the story's fairly engrossing. Also, Seine is too damned cute...
