Ganbare! Memeko-chan prologue

DL
90/365

That's right, I'm picking up another Munko series, just to keep things fresh. The typesetting is a real pain in the butt though, so releases will only come out intermittently, between chapters of My Home. I hope that these series will tide you guys over before I finally decide to start Raika Days, haha.

Tokyo Game ch14

DL
89/365

It's been a long time since we had some good old yelling and hollering. I'm glad that I can finally crack out the screaming font again.

I guess the saying "Idiots don't catch colds" isn't true after all.

My Home prologue

DL
86/365

Remember that crossover chapter from volume 2 of Miyoko? Well, this is where Mai's story all began. The art's a little wonky at first because this is one of Munko's earliest series (these prologue chapters are almost 15 years old now), but I hope that fans of Miyoko will be able to enjoy this one as well.

Man, Tori is getting wrecked so badly. Remember when he was like the strongest guy in Angolmois City? At least Blue Star is finally here to save the day.

That's all folks. Get your tissues ready, because things are going to get a little emotional.

I also wrote down my thoughts about the series in general, so if you're interested in a long-winded self-centered essay, you can check it out after the jump, haha.

One more day in the life before things come to a close. Tomorrow will be a double release to finish things off.

Tokyo Game ch12

DL
81/365

Finally, the match against Samurai begins! This time they're playing with Aotenjou rules, which you might recognize from Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku or that one Touhou mahjong game. Enjoy watching the game completely disconnect from common sense as the points rocket into the stratosphere.

DL
80/365

Namihei's gone wild! And along with the bounty of bento comes a bounty of crossovers in this chapter. Memeko takes center stage, though there's also some dialogue with the cast of Hyper Shoujo Ukkii, as well as a single cameo from Datte Aishiteru.

P.S. The "trick" that Darling's friend is doing in the extra comic is performing Pink Lady's song UFO, which features a full dance routine. You can check out a video of the song and dance here.

This time we've got another crossover chapter with About Haru & Aki. KissManga readers will be left in the dark because their crappy site failed to scrape the previous crossover chapter from volume 2, but if you're reading this then you'll definitely recognize this sleeping salaryman.

I wanted to be a cool guy and find out the reading of the character on the grab-bag seal, but it really was an uncommon, hard to read one...

In Japan, the abbreviation for KFC is "Kentucky," so trying to make the censored reference fit right was a bit of a hassle. I think I did alright though.

Namihei's first words remind of that time Ted Cruz said that his daughter's first sentence was "I like butter."

Namihei is really something... I don't like him, but Hayashida-san deserves him, haha.

I didn't know that jellyfish was even edible before reading this.

Chapters like this are my favorite. I wish there could've been more of them, but you can only go so far with the sentimentality in a 4-koma comedy.

Dakara Miyoko desu ch51

DL
68/365

I'm not gonna lie, this is the one time where I didn't like how the drama was handled; it really caught me off guard. That being said, I feel like it was handled exactly how this series would've handled it, so I'm not too sour about it.
And in other Miyoko related news, volume 3 is now available for download on the projects page, so be sure to check that out if you haven't been following the series lately.

Tokyo Game ch11

DL
67/365

Just as Blue Star says, this will be the last resting point before we sprint to the end. Ironically, on the actual Palm Sunday we'll be deep into the upcoming battle with Samurai. I'm going to try to get those chapters out quicker because it's the longest match in the whole series, but there's also more redraws to do, so things might just proceed as normal. In any case, it'll be something to look forward to.

Only one volume left! I think I'll be able to finish it by the end of March, but coming up next is the highly-anticipated return of Tokyo Game.

Dakara Miyoko desu ch48

DL
64/365

I feel like translating it simply as "Girl's Day" instead of Hinamatsuri would've been easier for typesetting, but I think people don't call it that anymore (especially since the corresponding Boy's Day got turned into Children's Day). Oh well, I made up for it by having some fun typesetting all the signs.

The strip with the dice is definitely up there as one of the funniest so far.

Dakara Miyoko desu ch46

DL
62/365

Were you expecting Tokyo Game? Yeah, so was I. I've been getting lazy though, so I'm making a compromise: I'm going to work on just Miyoko for a while before going back to the longer mahjong series.
Anyways, this chapter is all about Hayashida. Once again there was a reference to an old commercial (this commercial about beef), but I couldn't localize it properly since the joke is just the yodeling, so I left it out.

At last, Miyoko's true age is out in the open. I've gotta say, I was pretty surprised. She looks much younger, though I suppose that's what manga magic is all about.

Munko fans will recognize a cameo in this chapter. There's probably been more than just this one, but I haven't read much of her other works yet, so I wouldn't have seen them.
