Updates at the Libre Earthquake Support Page
More messages are updated at http://www.libre-pub.co.jp/ganbare/. Here is Yuuka Nitta-sensei's message (for my twin, a million thanks for everything!). Translation: My deepest condolences to all the victims of the Earthquake. It chokes me up when I think of you suffering in this cold weather and living in such anxiety. There is so little that I can do to help, but I try to contribute by doing whatever that helps in my daily life around me. Hang in there. I will do the same too. I pray that the day when you can live in peace and security will soon come to you. - Yuuka Nitta And if you wish to help too, please visit my charity sale below: Donate to Japan, Get Goodies and Spread the LOVE!! | | Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011 | | 8:33 pm |
Messages from authors at Libre
This is probably old news already... but still worth mentioning. Many 'senseis' at Libre have written messages to cheer on those who suffered from the earthquake. The artwork below is by Nakamura Asumiko-sensei. EDIT - Translation: This is our calamity, and it is ours to overcome with the support of each other. Do whatever you can to conserve energy, to donate, and don't hoard. You are not alone. Let us overcome this together. - Nakamura Asumiko 20011.3.18 You can find the rest here: http://www.libre-pub.co.jp/ganbare/ | | 7:00 pm |

tentative to-do-list 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).

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 Next release: Sex Pistols Animal.32-37 by Kotobuki Tarako Manga:- Dankoi by Amagi Reno (for Alek) - Netsu Dendou by Meiji Kanako (for Yavannah) - Ashita Ame wa Furanai by Hirokawa Kazuho (for Mitzu) - Tenkyou Shimashita by Ishida Ikue - Barairo no Hoho no Koro (joint project with t3rribletrio) - J no Subete by Nakamura Asumiko (to be scanlated by t3rribletrio- Sore wa Boku no Ai janai by Fukai Yuuki (from Sore wa Boku no Ai janai) One-shot:- Give and Give by Shinba Rize (from Dakishimetemo Okorimasenka) - Yume no Hate Mademo by Kagurazaka Hanko (from Yume no Hate Medemo) - Boku no Atarashii Basho by Yoshino Luca (from Kimi no sei de boku wa) - Hisomeku Koi no Koe by Fukai Yuuki (from Otousan wa tsumitsukuri) - Kyou Shiawase na Koi wo Shiru by Machiya Hatoko (from Shachou to Hisho, Ai no Shoumei) | | Friday, January 22nd, 2010 | | 9:28 pm |

[scanlation] Boku no Hatsukoi ni Tsuite I by Takanaga Hinako  When I first started translating original BL, there were 3 stories I vowed to translate. This story is one of them. It became licensed last year, but my friends and I decided to scanlate it anyway, so please read this as a 'preview' of Croquis which will be available in English soon. When you buy a copy of it, you can tell me how our team fares against BLU's. ^_~ Enjoy! ( Read more... ) | | Saturday, November 7th, 2009 | | 1:20 pm |

[Translation] Boku no Hatsukoi ni Tsuite 1-2 by Takanaga Hinako
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. ( First Story )( Second Story, yet to be proofread ) | | Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 | | 2:50 am |

Yahoo!Japan showing BL manga FOR FREE
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! | | 12:26 pm |
Review: Seitokaichou in Chuukoku 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 | | Saturday, July 11th, 2009 | | 10:14 pm |
[NOVEL] Kuroi Ryuu wa nido chikau by Aida Saki, illustrated by Nakamura Asumiko
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. | | Saturday, June 13th, 2009 | | 6:18 pm |
SEX PISTOLS OVA UPDATE
The official website has been updated. There's not much yet but check it out anyway! http://s-pistols.com/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? |
