Happy Birthday Meifa!

Mainichi Kimi ni Koishiteru & Sugar Family

Happy Halloween!

Birthdays to celebrate!

We are celebrating Mai's birthday today, and I am also taking that opportunity to celebrate Maggie (Luna) 's and Ohmmeter's birthdays, that were a few days ago... I'm soooooo sorry for being late guys, next time you gotta drop a hint beforehand (I'm hopeless with birthdates...)! XD

*Cough cough*

I hope you guys all know about these three important staffers already!
Here are some reasons why you should :

 Maggie (Luna) is AWESOME, she's an editor (one of my little minions? But she's not the docile type gyah!) She "just" turned 80 (that's what her skype profile says... actually I think she's a weeee bit younger... like 60 younger...). I'm so sorry for the wait Mags, but your bday card full of love is finally here! XD

 Omi (Ohmmeter) is AWESOME, she's a proofreader and currently taking on the main proofreader duties, as our Sechie is busy with her cutie baby Annika. Omi is mmmm two years older than meeee mmmmm how old am I again.... Right, she just turned 24! XP (<-- zeppy is hopeless with birthdates AND ages... even her own ^^'')

 Mai (in Wonderland) is AWESOME, she's our main translator and super admin! She turns 25 today (<-- got Skype's help, thank you skype). We wouldn't be here without her, so please throw a big "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to her!

...Did I mention that the three of them are also awesome?

I see you guys coming... three birthdays equals three releases? You're right  

The releases are :
Akumana Cupid (smutty oneshot)
Akumana Shimobe (smutty oneshot... again!)
Boku kara Kimi ga Kienai ch6 (I don't need to describe it do I? XD)  

Enjoy!

Bwss and Arcana

Hello everybody~

First great news : NO, WE'RE NOT DEAD
I bet everyone can understand that with the beginning of the school year and everyone saying goodbye to their holidays... Well, the team members were busy and thus we haven't released anything in a while. But now, we should be back on track, don't worry.

Second great news : I'm bringing you two releases, and those are from two of our series that are super popular
Yesh, I'm talking about Bokutachi wa shitte shimatta and Dawn of the Arcana.
In the end I switched to the volume scans to end ch1 of Arcana, it was just too tedious to edit the magazine scans @.@ And my new scanner is really great, I am in love with it! XD

I hope everyone will enjoy those releases! See you ;D

Pandora Hearts 16 & 17

Hi Pandora Hearts readers~

Here are two new chapters for you !
Now maybe I should go to The Black Abyss' cbox to announce our releases? Yeah cause you see that team seems to be confusing us with MangaUpdates and comes to shout in our own cbox that they rulez and whatever whenever they release a new chapter.
Amusing right? There are people out there that seem to enjoy bothering others, I hope they feel great.

Here are your releases, that you most probably have already read but maybe you will enjoy pretty scans, understandable translation and correct grammar? *Downloads in the forum*

Bokukara's extra

Hi all!

It has been a long time since I have released anything but zeppy gave me the honor of doing this release mainly because I find Kousuke to be super cute and this extra is adorable! I personally find that Kousuke's character continues to get cuter and cuter as this manga continues!

We are finally finished with volume 1 of Boku Kara with this extra and I have seen some of volume 2 and it's great so far!!

If you are wanting to see more of your favorite mangas, please don't hesitate to apply to be a TRANSLATOR!!!! We would love to have you as a part of our staff! Please look here to see what projects we need help with.

And since I cannot resist, here is the reason I haven't done much around here lately. She is soo cute!! Welcome Annika!!

Now that I am done blabbering, please be sure to stop by Melancholy's French site : http://www.melancholy.fr.nf They have also released the extra!

The links for the release are in the forum!

Our two most popular shoujo series ~

Hey everyone !

Today we are releasing two of our most popular series : Bokutachi wa shitte shimatta and Boku kara Kimi ga Kienai ~

Before all the fangirls rush to grab the latest Yukito and Kousuke-kun kyaaaaaing material, I would like to announce some things :

* First, Bokutachi wa shitte shimatta ch14 is the 100th chapter our dear Mai in Wonderland has translated for Manga Abyss ! Thank you Mai ! I included a little something for you in the chapter ;D

* Since we are talking about translation stuff, let me tell you that we really need more Japanese to English translators to be able to release more ! Here are some examples of series that are in great need of help :




Please, help us and apply : Translator recruitment thread

* Lastly, I need one or two more typesetters to help out. Typesetting consists in typing the English text in place of the Japanese one, on the scans that have already been cleaned. You need to have photoshop and some free time, and know how to stroke, rotate, ... text. It's pretty simple and doesn't take as much time as cleaning. If you want to help out and doesn't know Japanese, that's what you can do! More information in the recruitment thread : Typesetter recruitment thread

Enjoy !

Kano Uso ch1 & Bwss ch13

Hello everyone,

We normally release on Saturday but today we're going to release on a Sunday. :D I think it may still be Saturday for some of you but not in Japan.

I know all of you shoujo fans will be excited for both releases.

The first is Kanojo wa Uso wo Aishisugiteru chapter 1. We only gave a preview last time we released this and everyone wanted more. Well here is more! We're releasing with the lovely Nagareboshi. Visit their forum here: http://z15.invisionfree.com/nbmanga/index.php or their website here: http://nagare-b.dot5hosting.com/

Also we have the long anticipated Bokutachi wa Shitte Shimatta chapter 13. We had some editor problems with this one. That's what took so long. The original editor disappeared so two new editors had to take it on from scratch. Hopefully we won't have the same problem for future releases.

Enjoy

Mai

*Little edit by Zeppy* Just to let you know, I reopened the typesetter recruitments, I need one more person! Right now, it's to work on Akumana Cupid (oneshot), and then a bunch of projects (mostly shoujo) : please apply !*end of edit*

Pandora Hearts ch14&15

Hi everyone ~

Here are our releases of the week: two new chapters of Pandora Hearts. Enjoy !
As always the releases can be found in the forum.

Zeppy

Dawn of the Arcana - ch1 part1

Hello, we're back !

Wow, we haven't released anything in a month ! It's mainly because many people from the staff were very busy with exams and end of school year... Hope everything went fine for everyone (from the staff and the members of the forum of course) who was having exams and gambatte to all those who still have exams to pass !

We are back with a new release, and it's a new project as well =3 It's Toma Rei's new series : Dawn of the Arcana (Reimei no Arcana), it's fantastic this time ! (On the same level as Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter... or so they say XD We'll see for ourselves lol).

The first chapter is very long (100 pages 0_0), moreover we scanned it from a magazine, so it took me quite a while to clean it. We are only releasing half of the chapter now, and once we're totally done with ch1 we'll switch to scanning from the books since it's already being published ^^ You'll find some tarot cards in each chapter that were included in the magazine, we will put a few of them each time with their description =3

I hope you'll like it !

Hi everyone!

Today we have a cute oneshot for you by Saijou Ayano - I know there are a lot of her fans out there!! Now before I give you the release, I have to do something and I'm not ashamed of it either!!

I need to beg anyone out there that wants to help release our projects faster and that knows Japanese to PLEASE APPLY TO BE A JAPANESE TRANSLATOR!! We also have an opening for a Chinese to English translator as well. If you are interested in either position, please head to the recruits section!!

Whew - now that I've gotten that out (and without having to resort to the 'tea torture' to plead for people to join us ), please head to the forum to grab Darenimo Ienai !

Enjoy!

ID's extra oneshot and Host Yuugi ch2

Those of you who downloaded Pandora Hearts will already know this, but for those of you who haven't here you go:

Recently we've been hassled about when we're going to release something or if we've dropped something (even though the project is still in the active section).

The only thing this does is :
+ annoying us
+ delaying the chapter even more cause it's not motivating
+ making us add rules and a system of infractions

FROM NOW ON, THERE'S AN INFRACTIONS SYSTEM : read the rules again for more details. And I wanna add that if the person who annoys us isn't registered in the forum (since it's possible to use the cbox without registering) it will be banishment right away, since we can't give them infractions.

OK, now that that's over with, let's get on with the fun part, the releases.

We have two releases today. The first is the final chapter of It's not like that darling. It's not part of the main story but it's a smutty oneshot. So enjoy.

Our second release is chapter two of Host Yuugi and it too is a smutty oneshot. It's not the same characters as chapter one but it all focuses on people from the same host club.

WE NEED TRANSLATORS! PM ME IF YOU'RE INTERESTED!
Please enjoy

Pandora Hearts ch 10

We're sorry this chapter took so long, for those who want to know why it's because Yumiko's computer has crashed, and since she had the chapter edited we prefered waiting for her to fix it instead of re-doing the work... But she's still not back, so I edited the damn thing in 4 days to let you enjoy it !!! I tried to keep a good quality but all the SFX aren't edited.



I wanna say something important. All this time we didn't get any support from the Pandora Hearts's fans, we only got :
*the kind that doesn't know what a cbox is for*
pandorahearts : pandorahearts
*the kind that knows what it's for, and uses approximately correct grammar and constructed sentences*
..... : wondered when's the next Pandora Hearts release !
*The most polite of them would add a "hi !" before*

And that, believe me, has no other effects than :
+ annoying us
+ delaying the chapter even more cause it's not motivating
+ making us add rules and a system of infractions

SO FROM NOW ON, THERE'S AN INFRACTIONS SYSTEM : read the rules again for more details. And I wanna add that if the person who annoys us isn't registered in the forum (since it's possible to use the cbox without registering) it will be banishment right away, since we can't give them infractions.

EDIT FROM MAI: Yeah!

That's it, please head to the forum for the download.

A last little thing :
WE REALLY REALLY REEEEEEEAAAALLY (XD) NEED MORE JAPANESE TO ENGlISH TRANSLATORS !
Please, if you can read Japanese, we beg you, join us

Boku kara Kimi ga Kienai

Hello everyone and Happy Valentine’s Day!

I hope all of you have some love-love moments tonight. If not you can go ahead and read our release because it has some love-love moments in it, as well as a little jealousy : it's Boku kara Kimi ga Kienai ch3.

Also this is a joint with Melancholy! If you would like to read this release in French please visit their website!

Happy New Year !!!

Thank you for your support throughout this year, I hope you will keep on threathening us cheering on us in 2009 with the smiley you all seem to like so much XD (Nobody seems to notice there's a knife behind this dude's back... This is scary!) Personally I always enjoy reading the thank you messages in the releases thread, that's what keeps us going, so thank you very much ^^

Big thanks to all the staff as well ! Thank you for giving some (or lots!) of your free time to scan, translate, proofread and edit the chapters ! And thank you for being so cheerful, so cute, so hilarious, ... We promise you great projects to work on for this new year !

So, here is a little release to begin this new year perfectly : I got a new project here, with bishies, with great art and cute stuff (some will ask "with smut ?" but no, sorry, not in that chapter... but maybe later hohoho It's Yuuhi Ryu after all °-° <-- no guarantee, I didn't look at the next chapters yet =P) It's Butterfly Kiss ch1 ! Released jointly with the french scanlation group Melancholy Team... who couldn't release at the same time cause their website is down ^^'' But you will be able to find the french version very soon ! Thank you very much for Melancholy's team's hardwork !

Merry Christmas !!!

Mai=red Zeppy=blue

Hey Zeppy, it looks like today is our Christmas release. Although, it may be a little bit early for some people. It's already Christmas for me.
Hey Mai =D I feel like Santa Claus HOHOHO I think they will be very pleased to find early releases, it's like when you wake up awfully early just to go see if your presents are under the xmas tree XP Well, the releases are already here !

First up is the conclusion of Lovely Baby. This is the final chapter of the main story. There are other oneshots afterwards though.

And then we get the second chapter of Hatsukoi Host ! Sena is so cute, don't you think it would be great to have him under your xmas tree ?

Next up we have Boku wa Imouto ni Koiwosuru. We're releasing this with Divine Sanctuary. So make sure to pay them a visit too. Sorry it's taken so long to release the next chapter. We hope to have them come out a little faster from now on
Last, but not least is one of my favorite mangaka's works. It's Secret Kiss. I love that Sensei! 
Kyaaaa me too ! After this, there's only one chapter left for the main story, and then two cute cute oneshots !

We hope you have a Merry Christmas. Please enjoy the releases. We're going to try to have more releases for New Year's!
We will? Oh gosh, I'd better go back to editing! 

Poof! I'm out! 
Enjoy (the releases, xmas, presents, and the holidays !) !
