My Home ch17 + Rep Player's Daughter oneshot

DL
120/365

In a rare convergence of manga and reality, the last chapter in this volume coincides with this year's Golden Week. Mildly cool if you ask me. And with it comes an extra oneshot that was published in Kindai Mahjong (the home of Akagi until it finished, as well as a multitude of other mahjong manga classics). It's pretty funny given that it's a 4-koma manga that doesn't have any actual mahjong in it, but at the same time, it's probably better than some of the other things that have been published in the magazine recently, haha. Also there's currently two 4-koma series being published in Kinma as of now (Jansou no Saeko-san and Hakkun), so it's not exactly a foreign concept. Anyways, I've rambled on for too long. See you next time!

Ganbare! Memeko-chan ch12

DL
119/365

I don't remember if this has been shown previously, but eagle-eyed readers will note that Sawako's boss is the same person as Mai's dad's boss. In other words, Hanamaru Corp. and the company in My Home are one and the same, so you can expect some crossover action in the future.

Finally we're getting somewhere. And that somewhere is their first brush with death. Yikes...

Spring... No wonder I've been feeling so lazy lately. And my watery eyes must be from hay fever, certainly not the events of this chapter!

Ganbare! Memeko-chan ch9

This time we've got an extra long, (formerly) full color chapter. I think that this is the point when Memeko became the cover title for the magazine, because after this just about every chapter is longer and was in full color. It'll be more work for me, but we'll see how it turns out.

Yoshioka, my boy... What you're looking for is a chocolate truffle. Well, maybe the chocolate itself isn't the important part, am I right?

The last strip raises some questions, so I can only hope that I was able to get the meaning across correctly... I guess we'll see in future chapters.

Sousei no Taiga ch3

DL
109/365

Finally, the next chapter. And spoiler alert: nothing happens. I really should have made this a double release with chapter 4, but I was already taking too much time to finish this one, so my bad. At least it's better than the 2 week wait that Japanese readers would have had to deal with when this chapter first came out, haha.

Christmas in April? Yeah, that's how it turns out with these monthly 4-koma.

I think they should've known that this proposition was doomed from the start...

Oof... Miyuki is too precious. I hope that she shows up again in future chapters.

Previously I said that Memeko is a pain in the butt to typeset, but I'm going to start balancing it and My Home more evenly due to spoiler-related reasons. You'll see in a couple months.

Sousei no Taiga ch1-2

DL
100/365

Bet you weren't expecting this, eh fellas? Well, I certainly wasn't either. I've never read a Mori Kouji series in the first place, and I only started reading this one because it's in the same magazine as another series that I like (that I also want to translate soon...). I figured that it would be a good way to celebrate 100 days, and after over a week of crappy redrawing hell, here we are. This one's a real slow burner (I didn't get really into the series until around 20 chapters in), so I'm not going to be able to translate it as fast as people would want, but at the very least I'll be releasing chapters at the same pace or faster than they come out in Japan (every two weeks). I hope that you all will enjoy this, and here's to the next hundred days.

Just to set the record straight, I know that "cider" is lemon-lime soda in Japan, but it'd sound pretty absurd to put "lemon-lime soda" and then have it immediately followed by "soda." Japanese can be a bit much sometimes...

Seeing the president's secretary digging for crickets and worms reminded me that my mom used to have a pet turtle that she would feed snails to. It was pretty handy because they were pests in her garden.

So that kid's name is Yoshioka. Now where have I seen that name before...

My Home ch7

DL
96/365

The strip where they get their report card/bonus and just look at each other is probably my favorite joke so far in this series. Also, there's a lot to say about the new boy character that was introduced, but I think I'll save it for later.

Man, a leaf umbrella would be cool. Too bad it doesn't work in real life (or even in manga either, haha).

Golden Week is coming up at the end of the month, though since I'm not Japanese it doesn't mean much to me. I'll just live vicariously through the Horikawa family.

It's spring! Time for flower viewing! But no getting drunk though, because Mai's dad is too cool for that!
