Flashbacks to a certain Gundam Wing scene. Aoyama's an odd character. She's desperate to talk to Kasumi about the letter, yet doesn't seem too happy to have it back. Of course we know in fuller context she never wanted to write the letter. Indeed she probably didn't want to find anyone using...

Glad you brought this up. Not many realize volume covers are commonly designed by an independent artist, who helps with composition before the mangaka illustrates. The mangaka does have a say in it of course, and sometimes they'll post unused cover drafts. But in this case Igarashi was simply...

I had fun deciding where to put that one, especially with how the reader's eye will naturally be lower for the text at the bottom of the first page only to catch onto the striking red of the boxcutter and then leap up to Sayori and Mizuki's red eyes/mouth. That composition is fantastic and...

You can tell Igarashi's fond of the boxcutter lovers. And Seika + Etsurou. I don't think they're going away, so hopefully you remember or reread the start of the Dominant crossover. As always I organized these in a superficial order where it felt the themes flowed. Some are missing context, for...

Leave a like on the raw chapter. You just know Igarashi's giggling when she puts in lines like 'All our senpais have been wonderful people!' Even with her Onee-sama persona up, Haruyo's childish side shines through. And you can tell the difference in approach with how cautious Kasumi is towards...

Physical raw volume. Digital raw volume. Ganbare Mia. Become an Onee-sama who can break through the friendzone. Interestingly the inner cover composition does confirm Mia's the Onee-sama in their relationship, despite Yamabe initiating. The evil senpais are a delight and I hope they never leave...

Official raw chapter. Chapter 35 TL. Folder of all post-serialization TLs. This is a dumb bootleg scanlation intended as a stop-gap while official translations are behind the raws. I do not plan on uploading it to readers. Sorry for the delay, though these two chapters do pair well. Some heavy...

Official raw chapter. Chapter 34 TL. Folder of all post-serialization TLs. This is a dumb bootleg scanlation intended as a stop-gap while official translations are behind the raws. I do not plan on uploading it to readers.

If I had a nickel for every time I translated a yuri manga about an awkward loner with weird eyes trying to get to the bottom of a ghost haunting her classroom without directly talking to her I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's odd it happened twice. We're certainly on the...

Official raw. There's currently a campaign going where extra chapters are free until the 19th. Physical. Digital. Still no news on chapter 31. Dorothy plots out the entire next volume before starting which is why we get these gaps between volumes. And it at least sounds like 6 is mostly planned...

I've been sitting on ~150 of these sketches puzzling over how to release them. Igarashi draws roughly 2-5 per chapter; I could potentially upload them in small batches after each chapter but it feels better to release in bulk every volume. Some come with behind the scenes insight or relate...

Official raw chapter Chapter 33 Folder of all post-serialization TLs This is a dumb bootleg scanlation intended as a stop-gap while official translations are behind the raws. I do not plan on uploading it to readers. Sara's angst continues. The suffering never ends. The scales have already...

Link to the raw chapter 14.2. The ending is so cinematic, turning from Mia's face popping up to her cover page in the present. Can't wait to see how Yamabe fumbled and unfumbles this. I love that Igarashi's working the anonymous letters back in too. It's a fun device HaruSumi sadly had to...

Official chapter 14.1 raws. It looks like we are taking the anthology route after all. Kasumi and Haruyo exploring different sets of older couples as they trace the letters back. It's fitting, given Hanamonogatari was an anthology itself. Yamabe's seems to be a story of missed opportunities...

Official raw chapter Chapter 32 Folder of all post-serialization translations This is a dumb bootleg scanlation intended as a stop-gap while official translations are behind the raws. I do not plan on uploading it to readers. Really liking the interplay between Natalia, Sara, and Leah's...
