Hello and welcome. I translate and proofread BL manga for scanlation teams, lots of them, under different names, yes I basically whore myself out to anyone with a good project. XDD This journal hosts some personal projects I do on top of my work with teams, with the help of many supportive friends, and it's my thank you gift to everyone in the BL fandom for bringing so much to my life (hence the name). Please don't mind the fact that I update REAALLLYY slowly, because I can only do this in my very little spare time. Dear friends, this journal is for you. ♥
If anyone's picking up a project from the list below, please drop me a note and I will take it down. Better still, if you need a hand with translation/QC, you know where to find me. :D

Dammit, I totally saw it coming and I know it's only a matter of time... in fact I'm surprised by how long it has taken for Takanaga Hinako's "Croquis" to be licensed. It's really a shame because this story means a lot of me (I can say it is a reason why I created this journal in the first place), it's fully translated and I was just waiting for the editing to be done. D: I'll discuss with my editor to see how she feels about working on a licensed project, but for now, I'd like to share with you the translation of the stories. I hope you enjoy them as a side-serving to your raws.

Yahoo!Japan Comic has a section called "free magazines" where visitors can read manga chapters for free using their online viewer. Rutile is the latest in a line of publishers that offer this service, and it is a godsend to us yaoi fangirls. :D
There are 9 stories available right now, some from published manga (such as "Ataeru Otoko" by Okuda Nanao and "Hisho no Koi" by Akiba Touko), and others exclusive online manga (such as "Kimi to Te wo Tsunaide" which is adapted from Sakiya Haruhi's novel). The list is updated every week, and I'm particularly interested in the following titles:
8.6 - Migite ni Juu, Hidarite ni Ai by Yamamoto Kotetsuko (one of her earlier works)
8.13 - Bara to Lion by Unit Vanilla/Yamada Sakurako (newest work by Unit Vanilla!)
8.20 - Croquis by Takanaga Hinako (Good things never grow old <3)
9.3 - BxP Anx by Jyaryu Dokuro (Very, very excited about this one :DD)
Note that their online viewer only works on IE, and a special add-on is required. Once everything is properly installed, next to the picture of the manga there will be a link that says "read", just click it and a new window will open. Click the big "Read" button there it's yaoi ahoy!

 Seitokaichou ni Chuukoku by Monchi Kaori (it's lisenced so grab a copy!) is one of my fav series, and probably the author's most successful one too. There are 4 volumes published in Japan with an OVA in the making. There is a spin-off called "Daini Botan Kudasai", or "Please give me your second button", and numerous extra chapters from drama cd bookets (there are 2 cds released so far, played by Sugita Tomokazu x Toriumi Kousuke). The story is full of subplots and very hard to explain, and I don't want to spoil future readers, so I'm not going to bother with a summary. It is a mixture of drama, comedy, and suspense that sends you laughing in one page and gives you a chill in the next (and I mean it, a lot of Monchi's older works have themes such as slavery, rape, domestic violence, and you'll find glimpses of the dark side among the crazy funnies). Despite the title Kokusai's role as president actually has VERY little to do with the story, except that Chiga is the newly-appointed vice president and that gave them reasons to work together,but since they are both in the Judo club they isn't really necessary either. ( review ) BTW I made an icon, because Chiga and Kokusai choosing cellphones is SO DAMN ADORABLE <333 feel free to take/use as base, but please credit. <3

I adore Aida Saki, and I adore Nakamura even more, so this novel really caught my interest, even though I generally dislike fantasy.
*coughdownloadcough*Feel free to take and share. I don't plan to upload this anywhere else so you can go ahead and post it at your own LJ, any comm, aarin, hibiki, wherever you want that won't get you into trouble. And yes, you can pimp this LJ for me too! :) I'm rushing to finish some translations, so I haven't read it yet, but here the general gist (omitting names because it's fantasy and all the names are weird and hard to spell XD): The third Prince of a weak country is a politcal hostage held in a strong country. Because he looks so much like his mother = beautiful, the old king of the strong country makes him his sex slave, which the prince has to endure in order to protect his own country. One day the prince meets a gladiator who has lost his memory and he takes him in as his servant, the two grow close, but there is a secret behind this man... There is also a drama CD for this story, played by Yasumoto x Kamiya. <3 Judging from the reviews, even though the prince is a typical "oh-my-beauty-is-my-downfall" type of uke, he personality is strong and not girly at all. Nakamura's art always reminds me of Aubrey Beardsley, and in my opinion she's the perfect choice for illustrating the tanbi fantasy genre, my only worry is that it may not complement Aida's writing style, which tends towards realism. I took a peek at the illustrations and... some pics are rather hard core and definitely NOT work safe, so be warned!! Also a special warning... there's a bit of Dragon/Human 'interaction' near the end. >:D Enjoy! I have 3 dreamwidth invite codes. Ask if you want them.

The official website has been updated. There's not much yet but check it out anyway!

(I can't use JAVASCRIPT here so I'm showing my support by uploading their special banner on my website here: http://kaminarigroup.com/sp.html)
I'm REALLY REALLY SHOCKED that Shiro will not be voiced by Hirakawa though. ;_; I like Hatano too, but he's just NOT SHIRO, if you know what I mean. D: Depending on how the OVA turns out to be, I might not even treat it as canon. :P I wonder who's gonna play Yonekuni?

pinklotus89 has taken it upon herself to bring you the scanlation of Sex Pistols animal.29 Kudos to her and enjoy!
http://www.box.net/shared/osszjs6nvj (Please support the artist and buy the licensed series! I'm only translating it because at Kotobuki-sensei's pace it's simply absurd to expect a volume 6 out any time soon. But when it DOES come out, I'll cease sharing the files)

 Remember my last post about the sequel to "I can't even breath without you"? Well I've read the novel, despite the fact that there're a million things waiting to be done, and enjoyed it much more than I thought I would! <3 Truth be told, I never liked this couple. Over-dependent love scares me, and I really dislike characters who act like a big baby like Ruko-chan. :( I only follow the series because it's Eda Yuuri and Enjin Yamimaru (and the CD's Konishi x Fukuyama, which gets extra points :D). But Eda-sensei doesn't disappoint, and the story, as the last book of her Mangaka Universe, wraps things up quite nicely, and the story gives us more insight into the dynamics of the couple and you really get a sense of how much they belong to each other as you want them grow. A rough summary (in white, hightlight to read it), don't click on the cut if you don't want to spoil yourself before the manga comes out! ( Read more... )

Fandom's been crapping on me and I desperately need something to cheer me up, so here it is. :DD Big big thanks to you-know-who for the awesome scans (get it at mmmpreg!), and again scanlations will be done by my super-stealthy friends so please don't use the script, thanks! EDIT: scanlation here If you're interested in translating it into another language, pm or email me about it. :)

Totally spamming everyone just to share my happiness. XDDDDD
One of my favourite BL authors, Eda Yuuri, has new books out. <333 They are all sequels to her older stories:
There's this which is the second story of the PET LOVERS series
(illustrated by Shimizu Yuki, the perfect artist for angst-ridden stories. I enjoyed the first book, but this one sounds a lot more violent...)
and this
(Sequel of "I can't even breath without you" illustrated by the awesomest Enjin Yamimaru, which I'm sure EVERYONE knows of, I sincerely hope this will be made into a manga as well! <3)
and OMGOMGOGM THIS!! (Sequel of "Koushounin wa Damaranai", illustrated by the goddess Nara Chiharu, now THIS BOOK I've known about since the beginning of the year and I've been WAITING FOR IT FOREVER. <333 And no, I don't just LOVE IT because the drama CD is Koyasu/Hirakawa = Yonekuni/Shiro XDDDDD)
Unfortunately, the third book's cover isn't released yet. ;_;

Since someone asked me about it... originally for Alek, now for Liquid Passion. I'm not sharing the scans this time, but if you already have them, then enjoy! Feel free to link this page around to accompany any scans or rec or anything. I like to keep this LJ public and share the love, please just don't scanlate without asking, and in this case, at all since it's taken. Yuu-jin is love! <33
