Deus Ex Machina 5

I'm back... and so, here's another chapter of Deus Ex Machina.

No action this time around, but Crow Mother more than makes up for that. o/

More prospective series...

...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 Hime

The 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 raw


Sugar wa Otoshigoro

Hatanaka 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 5


Alice no Shousei

Codenamed 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 raw


Hekikai no Aion

Tsugawa 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...

Yume Mitaina Hoshi Mitaina 3


And here's a summer-themed chapter of Yume Mitaina Hoshi Mitaina.

Naturally, that means swimsuits.

...and Aporo being dangerously stupid.

Once again, thanks to ShiroAka for editing.

...and back to Rune Factory 2 for me... as such, further translation might be kind of delayed. >_>;;

Deus Ex Machina 4


...and after quite a while, here's the fourth chapter of Deus Ex Machina.

In which we find out that Gestrotor is not a Dom, but rather a Gelgoog.

Oh, and that kid's still there too.

Thanks go to Browserboy23, who was kind enough to clean the raws for me.

Yume Mitaina Hoshi Mitaina 2


A return to the moemoe festival... here's chapter two of Yume Mitaina Hoshi Mitaina.

Aporo's cute and all, but she's really dumb... I guess her tactic is to wear Chiroru down. ^_^;;

Mediafire


Mondlicht 3 should be done early next week, and Epitaph 4 will be done any day now... I hope.


And I'll probably be putting up some more tentative projects that I'd need editors for within the next few days or so... so there's a heads-up to anyone who might want to help me out.

Mondlicht 2


...and after way too long, here's the second chapter of Mondlicht.

With any luck, the third chapter will be done sooner rather than later. >_>;;

Yume Mitaina Hoshi Mitaina 2 and Epitaph 4 should be finished within the next few days... but I have no idea when anything else will be. :/

Yume Mitaina Hoshi Mitaina 1


Happy New Year and all that... hope it's been a good holiday season for you all.

...anyways, here's my first release of the year, chapter one of "Yume Mitaina Hoshi Mitaina," by Araki Kanao. It's a really cute series, and I liked it quite a bit...

Many thanks to ShiroAka for editing, and Erin for bringing the series to my attention.
