Amazon Japan Purchases May 2011

A late night post because I was busy gaming xD Borderlands is addictiveeee!!! Now I have a Lvl 30 Soldier and a Lvl 18 Berserker [Named ilovepain and coincidentally he also loves pain lol] \O/ Also I got my parcel last Sunday =o= didn't know Singpost delivered stuff on Sundays ... GOOD FOR THEM AND ME!! *happy*

Anyways, I'm interested in how many people will be willing to join a contest in my blog and if the response is overwhelming, I'll consider purchasing 2 more Girl Friends Drama CDs and giving them out as prizes =D. Post your suggestions in the comment section for the nature [Fanart, fanfic, trivial etc] of the contest as well. This poll ends on May 31 2011.

And uuhh, I opened my GF Drama CD so I won't be giving that as a prize lol no worries. Will order 2 more if there's a good response =3
Nobara no Mori no Otometachi turned out to be an interesting read, good character twist [kinda] for the supposedly boring, goody-two-shoes Ojou-sama type and I lol-ed at the cute side story in V2 xD Won't wanna spoil you much heh. All I can say 'Poor Izumi' haha. Priced at ￥420, the manga is kinda small compared to Ichijinsha's ￥900 manga, barely 3/4 of the latter's size. Oh, I also got an oldie for ￥1 haha not including shipping charges but it's still okay.

'Himitsu no Hanazono' is probably one of my first few gender bender/cross dressing shoujo-ai manga with a happy [kinda] ending whereas gender doesn't really matter between the two characters and even if Sakuya's a guy, he(she) is a hot one xD. MMmmm reminds me of another Sakuya from Kaikan Phrase. Oh, this is a true gem so I'm happy to own it.

Here's a little incentive.

And another more.
And I'm tired. Nights all! Looking forward to your suggestions and comments!

TGIF! 星期五，星期五，我真的很想跳舞，这个周末大家都要出去，出去~ lmao. The Chinese version of Rebecca Black's 'Friday' by Dawen is awesome ;D Well if you understand Mandarin ... you'll still think the lyrics are ridiculous but at least they're all grammatically correct and as a friend commented, 'Only Chinese/Japanese/Korean can pass off being overly literal in their lyrics =x'

It was five years ago (this week kinda) that I first blogged about Strawberry Panic! And, to commemorate this memory, I re-sung my favourite song in Stopani! and that is 'Kuchibiru Daydream' by Misato Aki. Well, it's not good but not bad either xD Haha. Surprisingly, I still remembered most of the lyrics =D

1. Kuchibiru Daydream re-sung by akayuki

Cos I was bored, I also sang a few lines of 'Shoujo Meiro de Tsukamaete' and the first part of 'Himitsu Dolls', if you're interested, click continue!

2. Shoujo Meiro de Tsukamaete re-sung by akayuki

3. Himitsu Dolls re-sung by akayuki

I hope I didn't burst any of your ear drums haha, if it sucks, well, ~~meh you suck too :< HAHA~~ ... there's nothing you can do really heh.

Random rants;
I've managed to get a copy of Morinaga Miruku's GIRLFRIENDS Drama CD from Amazon Japan! Stocks are limited yet again, so grab them now before they go out of stock! Or even out of print!

Wanted to order 女の子×女の子コレクションＶｏｌ．１ [GirlxGirl Collection Vol.1] by ロクロイチ [Rokuroichi] ... BUT. It was labeled as ADULT ... and I don't want the MDA to rip open my parcel and confiscate it ;_; so ... but the contents inside are YURIlicious! Check out 百合な日々 [Yuri na Hibi]'s review of it, beware, there are NSFW images in there.

Anyways, my parcel is gonna be shipped out pretty soon, so expect another update post perhaps in 2 weeks time =D

Enjoy the weekend!

Stefanie Sun's It's Time Autograph Session @ IMM

2011-04-02T13:11:00.006+08:00

[Posted @ 12:45 PM]
It was no April's Fool joke, Stefanie Sun [孙燕姿] had her It's Time [是时候] Autograph Session at IMM last night, 7 PM. Hardcore fans queued up as early as 9 AM outside the scorching weather. I drove down at 1.30 PM while listening to YanZi's interview on 933 ;D and the April's Fool joke was mean! Haha, but very convincing, I expected calls to start ringing in the radio station about how mean/harsh Ms Xiao Han was on YanZi's latest album.

Meh, the rest of my photos including this have the cameraman's head or someone else's head.
It was a pity that YanZi only sang ONE song, Yu Ren De Guo Du [愚人的国度] and talked a bit for a while, the fanclub presenting 3 gifts to her, 1. Donation collected from the FC worth a whooping S$2000+ to Mercy Relief, 2. A cake with a figurine of YanZi playing the piano, 3. A self-published one and only copy of 'Time's Magazine' with YanZi on the front cover [Contains selected Top 50 by fans and messages.]

The Stage.
After that, YanZi went right into signing all the albums and there is no limit how many albums can be signed for a person [I've seen a person with FIVE albums] but each person can only queue up ONCE.

YanZi and the emcee, Cruz.
Was kinda disappointed that I can't go back to the priority area after signing my albums. I WANNA SEE YANZI!!! But she managed to look up after signing each album to say 'Thank you + winning smile' =D SO HAPPY. *uttered HI OMG, BYE AND THANK YOUUUU!!!* Hahahhaa. I sound so retarded.

Yet another photo taken with my iphone with head WHAT THE HELL! GET OUTTA MY PHOTOS DAMMIT!

THANKS YANZI xD wished that you could sign your full name though haha.
Hanged around IMM for 2+ hours before grabbing dinner and driving back home. Looking forward for the next session *wink wink*

I think there are limited copies [with red sticker] and the red sticker entitles you YanZi's signature if you go to her autograph session on 1st April 2011, yeah it's no April's Fool joke.

For those with no red stickers on their copies ... well, I'm not sure if you can get her signature [most probably queue up behind those with red stickers], keep your receipt and make sure your copy is the SG/TW version, NOT the CHINA version. Yes I got two copies and one more from the YanZiUnlimited fanclub which comes with YanZi's signature \O/ WHEEEEEEE should have ordered 2!

Bloody awesome, I've waited a long time for this.

IchigoYuri TGIF Updates 22

2011-02-19T18:56:00.006+08:00

[Posted @ 5:38 PM]
Hey there! It's been a long time~ 4 months plus to be exact haha. Yeah I'm still here, just that I don't watch anime online/offline anymore ... I don't even read manga much now =A= I guess the 2 (almost 3) years of being away from manga (physically) made me lose interest in touching them ... mm I'm still reading shoujo-ai/yuri mangas (scanlations), not really squealing or trolling over when the next releases are coming out anymore haha.

There are still awesome people out there scanning shoujo-ai/yuri stuff though, kudos and more power to them. Although I might not read/into it much anymore, I still like to come home and read some fluffy (or smutty >D) manga.

On to whatever I can remember scanlations released in the past 4 months, what's in my shopping cart, what manga I'm desperately waiting for, newly released shoujo-ai/yuri manga and 'should I get them or not!?' list.

New titles scanlations worth a shot;

1. Himawari-san scanlated by Kawaii Scans
- This is pretty cute, I like the clean art style, the oblivious and charismatic Himawari-san xD.

2. Kimi Koi Limit scanlated by Payapaya Scans
- I have the manga and at first I was pissed off at the main character, cos she 'cheated' (by howling another person's name in throes of passion orz) on her current beau. And I liked her beau, main character kinda reminds me of Miaka from Fushigi Yuugi ... GRRRRR.

3. Nobara no Mori no Otometachi scanlated by Yurikai
- This has roughly the same plot as Mousou Honey kinda? Two childhood friends enter high school, the main character meets a Prince-senpai from school and 'fell in love' with her, add some blushes, kisses, groping-- okay maybe no groping, that was a fragment of my imagination lol. Said Childhood friend has a crush on main character for a long time and turn angsty while main character doki-dokis with Prince. I might be too hasty in comparing the two titles because Volume 2 is coming out soon for this series =o and 2 chapters were scanlated.

4. Mousou Honey scanlated by Kawaii Scans
- Okay, this is the title that has the blushes, kisses, groping and no problems there. I WANT MY SMUT who cares if the plots are the same or what! SO THERE. I feel like I'm contradicting myself.

5. Sweet Guilty Love Bites scanlated by Kawaii Scans
- Oh I have this as well and all hail smut~ If you like PWP smut or Yukemuri Sanctuary (same mangaka), this is the title for you on a trashy weekend.

6. HeartCatch PreCure Doujinshi - Heaven is Just There scanlated by Payapaya Scans
- OZMG, a smutty (well compared to her other works, this is relatively tame =\) doujin by Myao (Morinaga Milk) of Pretty Cure. I don't watch it but I don't care, I just visualize them as Akko and Mari xD.

7. Blue Friend scanlated by Yurikai
- I'm still raging over the fact that whenever I see Blue Friend #1 in stock in Amazon Japan, the next day I wanna order it along with #2, I HAVE TO WAIT 5-9 days or weeks again =A= WHY!? It was in stock the other day! Did Japan buy everything in less than 24hrs!? DAMN YOU JAPAN/SHUEISHA, PRINT MOAR DAMMIT. That happens every time I go in Amazon Japan to add stuff in my cart =\

In Shopping Cart;

- Actually I'm not sure if I should get Basute Tishan ... the samples/preview I saw were boobies everywhere and looked hilarious haha, like a snippet from Girls' High.

Newly Released & Waiting List;

- The newly repackaged Girls Love (was Yurihime Wildrose) looks set to be as smutty as its predecessor, check out some of the samples/previews here at yuri_amagasa. And I really like Kuru Yome, ah you can also preview a chapter from the official Tsubomi website. Click on the cover and then look for 'お試し読み'.

Wondering List;

- The Wildrose Re:Mix are basically a compilation of a couple of stories from Yurihime Wildrose, no idea which, most probably not getting them since I has all 6 Volumes of them ;D and it was given 1 sad star in Amazon Japan ;_;

I guess that's al-- NO WAIT, almost forgotten about GIRLFRIENDS drama cd \O/ yeah yeah, I know it was released uuuhh almost a month ago? And I did mention about it in my facebook status haha but meh I'll upload the cover just for the kicks.

Like most drama cds, it follows pretty closely to the manga so I don't think there's a need for word for word translations. I'm still looking for websites to buy it though =\ and willing to accept my credit card GRRRRR.

With that, comes the end of this blog post, hopefully the next update is not another month away ... mmmm =x

[Posted @ 11:03 PM]
=O Singpost exceeded my expectations lol, paid on 29th September and got my parcels [All 5 of them!] today! Even though those 5 parcels were already sitting in SG for days, still! I expected them to dig out my parcels and deliver next week or something haha. Anyways, they didn't, so good work to them!

Click continue reading more if you wanna see what's inside that hugeass amazon jp package lol.

Meh, it sucks that vPOST upped their vJPN shipping charges [$2/kg] but I got a 25% discount [Around $30!], still it's expensive overall. I might be switching to AmazonJPN's International shipping instead. vUSA is still awesome, with US exchanges rates low, I get my HxB #6 at around S$16 including shipping charges.

21 [1 more coming soon] bloody manga! It was a heavy parcel, almost 7kg! I'll post some sample/sneak pages of each title later cos I'm busy ~~rolling around on them~~ eh I mean reading them haha.

Bought Loveless #3 and #4 because of KouyaxYamato ♥ and also, a book and my copy of Marimite Season 4 DVD are coming up soon, most probably next week. I'mma bring HxB to my cruise this Sunday YAY.

Alrighty, going back to reading, cya!

[Game] Fuguriya's Hanahira!

2010-09-26T20:44:00.003+08:00

[Posted @ 1:54 AM]
Back from Malaysia \O/ and I'm too sleepy to listen to what the characters in Fuguriya/Huguriya's [ふぐり屋] new yuri game Hanahira! [はなひらっ！] were saying. Just rapidly clicking through it with a -_- expression lol.

Source at yamibo as usual and if you have problems playing the game, please see this guide on how to play hanabira and hopefully the solutions listed there can help you =D

Enjoy! ~~I'll update the post later.~~

Updated @ 26/09/2010, 7:10 PM Click ShizNat to read more =3

I kinda like the Makoto and Koharu pairing more so than the main Amane and Kaori pairing probably because of image below;

Makoto has a wild imagination and I approve (Y)
Haha, there were a few of them, Makoto wondering what would it be like if Koharu welcomes her home from work in an apron and asking her if she would like to have dinner or take a bath first ~~or eat her~~ ... oi oi they're just kids. Ehem, anyways, it was a cute game but a little too long? I was just rapidly clicking away while playing FB app games =x and only stopped at some Makoharu scenes.

I loled at the scene where Makoto fainted when she saw Amane and Kaori in this suggestive position =o;

Hmmm, got distracted by F1 on tv. Ah, was on yamibo this afternoon and saw this thread introducing a yurilicious manga/webcomic? titled Momo to Botan to Yuri no Hana [桃と牡丹と百合の花] Lilies in Sasanqua. Despite the ridiculously long name, it was an interesting read, the art style's nice and the main character's hilarious with amusing expressions.

Sources from FlexComix Web ; Yahoo Japan.

There are currently 3 chapters but I think there will be an update every week on Tuesday? [28/09] Well, I hope that there will be a volume compilation cos I would definitely buy it =3 ... that is if the main character doesn't have other love interest all of a sudden.

A kind 4chan anonymous has posted English scripts of Chapter 1, Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. Thanks anon!

First Purchase @ ChuangYi Online Store

2010-09-22T16:50:00.006+08:00

[Posted @ 4:22 PM]
A quick review of ChuangYi's online store before I head off to Malaysia [Genting Highlands] for 4 days.

They are mostly backlogs which my lazy brothers missed purchasing for me when I was studying in Australia. So this online service is good for those who have difficulty searching for old releases at a local comic store or you're just plain lazy and don't want to to go out lol. However not all old releases can be added to the shopping cart. I think if you want older releases or titles not found in the online store, you can email them and ask for a quote.

Oh look, they give freebies too, an Ouran High School Host Club ... doormat, a rather rough looking handbag and some nice bookmarks. They also have this credits system where you get 1 credit ($1) discount for every $10 you spend with them. I've gained 23 credits from this purchase =x The downside is that they only have paypal [credit/debit card] as their payment option but it's easy to apply for a debit card [with visa/mastercard] these days so I guess it's alright.

Delivery service; Placed the order last week [14], took them 2 business days [16] to check the stocks and reply back to me. Paid on the same day they replied and delivered today [22] actually they could have delivered yesterday but I missed their calls or was my hand phone switched off? No idea but yeah I checked my mail in the afternoon and saw the email they sent me. So it was my bad xD, felt kinda bad haha but the guy was polite and nice about it.

More purchases posts to come when my stuff from amazon comes, probably at the end of the month \O/ awesome early birthday presents from me to me! LOL. I had to cancel one book and miss several others [GAME OVER, Blue Friends, Shitsurakuen #4, Ren'ai Joshika etc] from amazon jp because the estimated delivery dates were too late, vPOST only allows 14 days free holding time. I'll just order them another time. Besides, I want to make it in time for the 25% shipping charges discount [vPOST Japan & using OCBC credit/debit cards only] ending this month!!! *is a happy blessed chicken*

More last minute packing, cya soon.

[Posted @ 2:00 AM]
Hmmm, I'm beginning to like blogging in the middle of the night. A quick Doropanda Tours [どろぱんだTOURS] aka Nanzaki Iku [南崎いく] update! A revised version of Kanjou Seibutsu XX [感情生物XX] now named as Kanjou Seibutsu EX [感情生物EX] was released [click はい] a month ago.

A kind soul uploaded the coloured cover, back page and a side note in yamibo. There is also another ShizNat doujinshi in the same thread =3. Oh, and please DO NOT upload the pictures elsewhere, the poster stated that the images are strictly shared only in the forum. I did a little googling and found the below images on a Japanese Yahoo Auction website. Again, these images are not mine, they belong to their respective owners although Kanjou Seibutsu XX 1&2 were taken by me lol. Sauces here; Yahoo Auction Site 1 ; Yahoo Auction Site 2

Kanjou Seibutsu XX [感情生物XX] and Kanjou Seibutsu EX [感情生物EX] both share the same contents except the latter was outlined and inked? I don't really know the terms but yeah you get what I mean. Nevertheless I like the sketch copy one *biased because she has it* =P

PS: Oh and it looks like there are new Fuguriya works ... no, sadly it's not Hanabira ... it's HanaHIRA lol and it's SFW =O Use a free Japanese proxy server [Like anonymouse.org] to view the images in the site. The characters look cute but meh too loli for my taste haha.

2010-09-14T03:27:00.002+08:00

[Posted @ 1:15 AM]
IchigoYuri TGIF Updates is not TGIF anymore ... like that's unusual hah. I haven't been posting on Fridays since the time I can remember ... hmmm I think I was busy chilling out during fridays but that's not the point of this post. Aaaaand now I'm being distracted by debit cards ... thinking of applying OCBC's YES card now hmmm then I don't have to use dad's credit card to purchase stuff--- WHAT AM I SAYING!? I MUST USE HIS! *laughs hysterically* I must be going insane in this room.

Oh yeah, as I was saying, busy, fridays ... yes, remember that Updates 19 nearly two months ago? I still haven't order anything from amazon yet so I've decided to order stuff this afternoon but my mum whisked me off to malaysia with uncle so my plan was dashed. Now I'm sitting comfortably in front the computer doing my stuff [US dollar is all time low against the Singapore dollar too!] then I realized that my shopping cart has only TWO pathetic books in amazon US. TWO, I would save more time and money going to Kinokuniya and purchasing Hayate x Blade #6 and Venus Versus Virus #8 [END] there ... if they have it UGHHH.

So nevermind, I added Line in too since I like the art style, I also added Loveless #3 and #4 just because I like Kouya x Yamato so that's 5. I looked at Amazon's recommendations and oh, Maria-sama ga Miteru Season 4 DVD collection is out too! Added, 6. Still cracking my head what's missing, I looked up to my SAY [Shoujo-Ai/Yuri] shelf and ah, Your & My Secret #6 is in stock with #7 coming out this November and that's 7. Thinking to myself that maybe there might be more Hayate x Blade volumes after 6 coming out since Seven Seas have been on a 4 months release interval and they said that they were discussing on #7-8 licenses last year. So I checked SS's site and guess what? They have Hayate x Blade Omnibus Collections lined up on their Release Schedule instead! My first thought was 'Wha---?' Second thoughts were 'WHAT THE FUCK! NOOOO! IS THIS GOING TO BE A STRAWBERRY LINE DRAMA HAPPENING ALL OVER AGAIN!?'

Despite the assurance, one can't help but feel a little uneasy over this. So what if the omnibus marketing campaign fails? Are they going to scrape HxB out of their line? Yeah despite them claiming HxB's not part of the failed Strawberry Line. I do understand, come on, would anyone want to associate a product to a failed marketing strategy? Don't get me wrong here, I still like Strawberry Panic! [I have a strawberry as my mascot for god's sake!] even though the anime was chessy [after re-watching it a while ago haha], the manga was on hold and the novel was completed but SS dropped it because of reasons I don't want to know, really, does it matter now? It's either licensing rights or money and both. So I've got #1 and #2 of the novel with no idea how SP ended in the novel. Guess I have to go pick up Japanese to read the last novel by myself.

I really enjoyed reading the English translated novels but I don't see them changing their minds since the SP fad was already over = no feasibility to continue any longer. But hey, at least they're releasing a Strawberry Panic! manga Omnibus with Chapter 13 and 14. *Feels a lot better now* So, with rants aside, we can't do anything but let them solve the licensing issues between themselves, all we can do is to hope or just learn Japanese. Meh, I'm purchasing more Japanese manga than English-translated already \O/

If you're a regular stalker/lurker at this blog, you might have noticed I've changed the template and it took me ... almost two days to perfect it. Hey, I need to eat, sleep, poo too =^= Here are the changes to make your life better navigating around IchigoYuri;

1. Awesome drop-down menu, hugeass RSS and tweet icons, tweetable link on every post and real-time twitter updates;

2. Scrolly Ferris Wheel Amazon widget, nicer related posts with picture thumbnails, linkys are moved to the right side and commenting system changed;

3. Using Disqus as commenting system so that you can subscribe, like and expand/hide a thread in a post. Latest comments, popular posts and followers located at the bottom of every page;

4. At each Menu Page, for example the new Morinaga Miruku Menu Page, I've changed the javascript to enable a new window to pop out when you click for easy assess. Yeah, I've been putting this off for ages haha, my apologies to those who had difficulties with this;

Guess this is it. I'll try to blog more, I've been a huge ass lately but that's me, cya until then ... ah probably when I get my purchases lol.

Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o 3 - Anata to Koibito Tsunagi OVA Drama CD Special

2010-08-06T19:15:00.001+08:00

[Posted @ 6:10 PM]
TGIF! First things first, UFW has released/updated a DVD 480p version of the Hanabira 3 OVA, so go get it because it's a DVD rip and the resolution is better!! And for those who ordered the DVD, it comes with a special drama CD. I wanted to do the translation last night but I had a major headache so ... well it doesn't matter because I've finally finished it. Enjoy!

Thanks to a poster in yamibo called Ren who translated it in Mandarin. Using the Mandarin translations, I've translated it from Mandarin to English, correct me if there are any mistakes =D

If you have an account at yamibo with 20+ posts, you can get the Drama CD [mp3] along with the DVD cover jacket. If not ... well here's a mediafire link ;D but it's always nice to say where you get sauces from =^= Well if you have the file, click continue reading to read the script.

オリジナルドラマCD 「スキスキ麻衣さん……」 - Original Drama CD 'Doki Doki Mai-san ... ...'

Mai: Ah, Reo? Are you awake?
Reo: Ehhh? Why is Mai here ...?
Mai: What do you mean why? This is my home!
Reo: Fwa? Uuh ... Nyaaa!!!?
Mai: Wait, what's the matter, Reo!?
Reo: B-be-because, n-n-nak ...
Mai: Nak---?
Reo: Why am I naked!?
Mai: No ..., to realise that you're naked only now ...
Reo: Speaking of which, Mai's naked as well! Mai's stupid and a pervert!
Mai: Eh, wait a moment, that's a mean thing to say!
Reo: Stupid, stupid, stupid! Don't come near me!
Mai: Alright alright, Reo ... calm down for second will you?
Reo: Shut up! You pervert! You're an incarnation of a sex maniac!
Mai: Incarnation of a sex maniac!? Now, listen to what I have to say!
Reo: Grrr!!! (Growls)
Mai: There, there, it's alright, don't be afraid ...
Reo: Grrr! (Bites)
Mai: Ahhh! That hurts!!! Don't bite me!
Reo: Grrr!!! (Growls)
Mai: Mou~ Reo's the one who suggested visiting my home in the first place!
Reo: Grrr ... eh?
Mai: Having dinner at my home, doing our homework, then taking a bath and so forth.
Reo: Oh--- oh, I see ...
Mai: Don't me ... you forgot about all about it? Or are you still half-asleep?
Reo: Um--- both I guess ...
Mai: (Sigh)
Reo: I can't help it! That's because you weren't following the rules!
Mai: Even so, if you bite me everytime you wake up, it won't be long before (my finger) gets bitten off!
(In Japanese - 「腕がなくなっちゃうわよ」 Mai could also be referring to her fingering technique ;D)
Reo: Uuuhhh ...
Mai: On top of that, last night you were so ...
Reo: Aaahhh!!!~~~
Mai: Wha---? Reo? What's the matter now?
Reo: Y-y-yo-you don't have to say that kind of thing out loud!
Mai: That kind of thing? Ah, you mean H (sex)?
Reo: Aaahhhhhhhh!~~~
Mai: Auughh! Mou! You don't have to yell about it!
Reo: You too, Mai! Why can't you be more sensitive to my feelings!?
Mai: Sensitive? Reo, aren't you making too much of things?
Reo: It's you who is understating things!
Mai: To say that when we're already at this stage. I mean, we're practically in that kind of relationship.
Reo: That kind of relationship ...?
Mai: I meant we're lovers ...
Reo: Aaahhh!~~~
Mai: Why are you yelling!?
Reo: B-b-b-be ...
Mai: B-b-b-be?
Reo: Because Mai kept making strange statements!
Mai: It's not strange at all! Reo loves me, loves me that she can't help ---
Reo: Aaahhh!~~~
Mai: Uuugh ... I'm going to be deaf ...
Reo: W-who would make that embarrassing statement! I love Mai? I-I never said that!
Mai: Wait a moment! That's really mean of you! I mean, last night, you were ...
Reo: Aaah---! I told you before to stop saying those things out loud!
Mai: That's nothing to be embarrassing about ...
Reo: Shut up! Enough about that, hurry up and put some clothes on!
Mai: Ehhh, I don't wanna.
Reo: Why?!
Mai: Well, because Reo's not being forthright.
Reo: What's that going to do with this?
Mai: You were saying how much you love me and just one night later, you turned so cold towards me!
That's why until Reo becomes more honest with her feelings, I will not put any clothes on!
Reo: I don't understand what you're talking about ... hmph do whatever makes you happy!
You can stay naked for all I care. Don't regret it if you catch a cold for that.
Mai: Wait a moment.
Reo: What are you doing?! Give me back my panties!
Mai: I refuse to!
Reo: Why?!
Mai: Heh heh heh, if I'm naked, how can I let you put your clothes on?
Reo: Are you stupid? Return it back to me right now!
Mai: Heh heh, I'm going to ... (Throws)
Reo: Aaahhh!!!~~~
Mai: I've exterminated the evil thing.
Reo: Mai's an idiot!!! Why did you do that for?!
Mai: It's all Reo's fault. It was you who forced me to turn to such drastic measures.
Reo: Even so, you don't have to throw my panties out!
Mai: I was just joking, look, your panties are right here~
Reo: (Sighs in relief) Even if it's just a joke, it's bad for the heart. Alright, give it back.
Mai: No.
Reo: Why not?!
Mai: Well, that's because if I give you back, you'll wear it on right?
Reo: Of course!
Mai: Then I can't give it back.
Reo: Again, why not?!
Mai: Because Reo dislikes the fact that we're lovers and will never admit that you love me.
Reo: Uhhh ...
Mai: So, if you say that you love me, I'll return the panties to you.
Reo: To force me to say that, isn't it embarrassing?!
Mai: If you don't say it, I will not give it back.
Reo: Uuuhhh~~~
Mai: Come on, come on~ if you don't have your panties back, you won't feel right about it~?
Don't be shy, try saying out loud, "Mai~ I love you~ Love you a lot!" okay?
Reo: Uuuhhh ... Hmph! You don't have to give it back to me now, I'll just stay naked this way!
Mai: Eh? Did my plan backfire ...?
Reo: Regardless of whether you're going to wear the panties, on your head or smell it while panting hard, I don't care anymore!
Mai: Reo, how pervertic do you think I am?
Reo: Alright, Mai, get out of bed! You can't laze around just because it's Sunday or else you'll turn into a sloth!
Mai: Yes, yes.
Reo: Wait, why are you not wearing clothes, Mai?!
Mai: Eh? That's because you're still not saying that you love me right?
Reo: But, that's ...
Mai: If you pay too much attention to this, you're going to lose~
Reo: Uuughhh ... Hmph! Do whatever makes you happy! Speaking of which, I'm hungry. Mai, I want rice.
Mai: Hm, it's a little troublesome to make rice, how about toast? If it's salad, bacon and sunny side up, it'll be ready in a few moments.
Reo: That sounds alright.
Mai: Got it, I'll go prepare it.
Reo: Hurry up!
Mai: Yes~ yes~
Reo: Heh heh heh, she's falling for it. While Mai's busy preparing breakfast, I'll take advantage of that moment to grab my panties back.
Mai: Ah, before I go, your panties is not there.
Reo: Ahhh?!
Mai: You were thinking of getting your panties back behind my back are you? Hah, don't belittle the ingenuity of Mai-san!
Reo: Kuuu, Mai's an idiot!

Mai: Reo, toast is ready, please put it on the plate.
Reo: Ehhh~
Mai: Just help me out for this okay?
Reo: I got it already.
Mai: Ah, it's hot, so please be careful ...
Reo: It's hot!!! ...
Mai: Uwaah, I was too late ...
Reo: Uuuuhhh, why is this so hot?!
Mai: It was just toasted, of course it's hot. Come on, let me see your hand.
Reo: Uuh, okay.
Mai: Hmm, looks like you didn't burn it. But just in case, we'll run your hand under the water.
Reo: Un~ Fuu, it's cold and it feels good.
Mai: Keep it there for a while okay?
Reo: Yes~ Hey, Mai.
Mai: If you're thinking of asking your panties back, I won't give it back.
Reo: How do you know that?!
Mai: I can see what you're going to ask before you say anything.
Reo: Mou~ Give me back my panties!
Mai: I already said that if you say that you love me, I'll give it back to you.
Reo: No way!
Mai: Why must you keep harping on that?
Reo: You're the one to say Mai! To steal someone's panties, you pervert, sex maniac!
Mai: Hohoho! Whatever you say~
Reo: Grrr! (Growls)
Mai: Alright, breakfast's ready~ Are you going to eat?
Reo: Hmph, of course I am!
Mai: How's it? Is it yummy?
Reo: Hmph! It was so-so.
Mai: Really, not honest at all.
Reo: If Mai gives my panties back, I'll say it properly!
Mai: Oh my~ for Reo to say that, that's a really mean answer.
Reo: Hmph!
Mai: See, it's the Mai-san who's so good in cooking. Can't you at least say you love me just this once?
Reo: No way!
Mai: My, my.
Reo: How about Mai? What do you feel towards me?
Mai: Eh? Me?
Reo: Yeah, before expecting me to say it, Mai should say ... how she feels about me first!
Mai: Ehh, that ... umm ...
Reo: What's that~ You too!
Mai: Hehehe. That's because to say it again feels embarrassing.
Reo: Even so, I still want to hear Mai say it to me!
Mai: Reo ...
Reo: If Mai says it to me, I will too ...
Mai: I got it, I will say it properly.
Reo: Un.
Mai: I love Reo, the one I love the most is you! I want to be with you forever.
Reo: R-really?
Mai: Of course. Well, how about you, Reo?
Reo: Uuhh ...
Mai: Come on, if you still can't say it, it won't do.
Reo: I know it! Uh ... um ...
Mai: Hehe.
Reo: I-I li--- Uwaahhh!~ I can't do it!
Mai: Uweehhh? I was so expectant and to stop like that, you can't do that to me!
Reo: It was embarrassing!
Mai: So it has come to this, I won't stop until Reo says that she loves me by hook or by crook!
Reo: By hook or by crook?
Mai: That's right! For example, with this panties ...
Reo: Aaahhh!!! Don't do any strange things with it!
Mai: Heh heh heh~ Usually I'm a model student in Mikajou (School) but doing these things makes my heart run wild ...
Reo: Stop, stop, stoppp!!!
Mai: Then, do what you have to do!
Reo: Uuuhh ... ... I love you ...
Mai: I can't hear you~
Reo: ... Uuh ... I love you! I love you!! I love Mai the most! Will that do?!
Mai: Un, I can finally hear it. I love Reo the most too!
Reo: (Sobs) It's so embarrassing that I could die.
Mai: Really, you're exaggerating.
Reo: I'm not exaggerating! Give me back my panties!
Mai: Yes, yes. I've already used my body warmth to warm it up to a good impression.
Reo: Because of the statements you make (above), as a result, you're called a pervert or a sex maniac!
Mai: Only you, Reo will call me that. Ah, speaking of which. Can you say it again?
Reo: Eh? Say what?
Mai: Well, that~ "I love you~ I love you a lot, Mai!" I want to record it down to commemorate it!
Reo: Ma-ma-ma ...
Mai: Ma-ma-ma?
Reo: Mai's an idiot!!!!!~

[Posted @ 7:23 PM]
YEAH! It's finally here!!!! Grab your NSFW dose of yuri at hongfire or yamibo if you have an account there with 20+ posts. Yamibo has torrent, MF and VS links!

I've only briefly scanned through it ... and it was awesome *_* Enjoy it over the weekend guys ;D

Updated @ 1.30 AM;
Mandarin sub's out, they're fast as usual so grab them at yamibo, same thread as I've posted above. I'll give a brief summary if anyone cares what they're talking about hm? Click continue reading to read more!

The animation opens with Reo and Mai doing the ecchi at the infirmary. Reo protested weakly saying that she's cold, Mai promised that it'll be alright soon because she'll warm her up in no time. Mai told Reo that she wants to listen to her ecchi voice, Reo reminded her that they're in the infirmary and people might hear them. Mai assured that everyone's gone home already ... and continued, whispering in Reo's ear that she feels it when she listens to Reo's voices. They started complimenting each other, you're cute ... no, you're the cute one! You're both cute okay!

~~Mai added that she felt it when Reo suckled her and touched her~~ hmm okay, TMI, I don't have to explain that lol. Uh so they started doing the 69 and make each other call out in their ecchi voices. - Insert Title - Reo caught a cold from their tryst in the infirmary [It's all Mai's fault!] and she missed Mai desperately. To her surprise, Mai visited her and Reo tried to hide her happiness by acting tsundere xD Mai noticed that Reo's still flushed and bended down to touch their foreheads. They stayed that way for a while before Reo announcing that she's thirsty. Mai cheekily fed Reo water via mouth to mouth [GJ!].

Mai suggested that Reo change her out of her sweaty clothing and offered to wipe and change her clothes. Reo resisted, Mai turned aggressive and pulled off the blankets. Reo muttered that Mai's too aggressive. Mai apparently toned down and offered again to help Reo. As Mai got down the bed to get a hot towel, Reo instinctively grabbed the tail of Mai's blouse sleeve. Mai assured Reo that she'll stay by her side all day and kissed her cheek.

-Flashback- Mai was chasing after Reo. Reo turned and asked why Mai's chasing after her. Mai replied that because Reo's running away from her and thought she hated her. Reo said no, rather it's the opposite way ... and confessed her love for Mai. [LOL Mai's reactions are so amusing] Mai can't believed it while Reo's like realize it already you idiot! In Reo's mind, she don't care if Mai dislikes her after confession but she just had to say it out. Mai didn't and replied that she likes Reo too. Reo didn't believe it so Mai proved her love by kissing her. - End of Flashback -

Back to Reo's room, Mai returned with a basin of water and towel and helped Reo wipe her sweat off her back. Mai's hands started straying towards the front side \O/ and Mai whispered into Reo's ear that she can't control herself any longer and suckled Reo's neck. Mai passionately declared that she wants Reo, now. Reo protested for a moment saying that she's a patient ... Mai replied that if Reo runs a fever again, she'll continue to stay by her side and taking care of her. Reo smiled, internally happy that Mai will be by her side. Mai tried to seal the deal by kissing her. Reo gently pushed Mai away, worried that Mai might catch her flu. Mai said that she don't mind if she catch a flu but Reo refused to let that happen.

Mai apologized and backed away. Reo grabbed Mai as she was about to get off the bed again. Mai said that she's just going to cool her head off and promised that she'll stay by Reo's side all day after that. Reo blushed and kissed Mai, telling her she don't want Mai to stop touching her. Mai warned that she's not stopping when she starts, Reo added that even if she protested, Mai wasn't going to stop either. So they magically got naked in a second and yeah, see it for yourself. Hmm Mai's ass looks awfully huge from that point of view lol. Reo got too excited when Mai whispered in her ear that she loves her. Before changing their positions, Mai apologized again for her lack of control and promised to take full responsibility for Reo's illness. Reo wants to hear Mai's voice too so they changed positions again with Reo on top of her.

LOL the bgm is awesome, makes me feel like singing In the Arms of an Angel~ hahaha, especially at the moment when Mai asked if Reo loves her. Reo replied that it's embarrassing and refused to say it. Mai said that she wants to hear Reo say it *pouts* Reo complied and Mai asked for one more and another and more. Reo exclaimed that she loves Mai [Awww] and words cannot describe how much she loves her. Mai replied that she too loves Reo. Both of them then basked in the afterglow, smiling. Turned out that Mai really did caught Reo's flu [I giggled]. As Mai laid on her bed resting, Reo seemed reluctant to go to school. Mai assured Reo that she'll be alright after a day's rest and pushed Reo out of her house lol. Reo seemingly went to school but naw, she didn't and demanded Mai to get well soon!

Mai was touched and cried a little. The flustered Reo told Mai to get well soon and added that she'll stay by Mai's side until then. Mai questioned until then ... only? Reo [awww] replied that she'll always stay by Mai's side regardless of sickness ... [=o proposal!?] before exclaiming that rather, she won't let Mai out of her side, never! adding that because Mai's her class president ... Mai smiled and gently called Reo's name. Reo's expression turned honest and they met with a kiss. - THE END -

Awwww, it was a great OVA! I NEED MOREEEEEE! RAWR!

[Morinaga Miruku] Girlfriends Chapter 34

2010-07-26T22:11:00.004+08:00

[Posted @ 9:33 PM]
GIRLFRIENDS Chapter 34 raw is out at yamibo, grab them now! They are kind enough to scan them, don't whine about anything, BUY THE COPY if you're not happy about it.

Thanks for the 1 million visits \O/ and Yamibo has the Mandarin version churn out in record time =o, so here's spoilers/summary for those who can't wait ... I guess. I don't think it'll be long before Ris/MakiMaki Scans get the English version out =3

Picking up from the previous chapter, with their bikini tops undone, our favourite heroines were passionately tangling their tongues together before slipping their bodies down to the floor [o.o Bed's more comfortable isn't it? But that's not the point]. Akko, goodness know what, stopped and stared at Mari who looked deliciously flustered. Akko apologized which momentarily stunned Mari who probably thought that Akko don't find her attractive enough to make love to her.

Akko wasn't worried about that, of course. Akko said that she's sorry that it's her first time. Mari went, 'Huh?'. Akko added that she's about to explode from what they were doing so far. Mari questioned about the time with whatever-kun [I don't remember his name ... oh that Ouji-sama of Akko's friend], which we all knew that nothing happened. Akko asked back about Mari and that time with her whatever-kun boyfriend and Mari said this was her first time \O/. Mari continued that she's very sure what she's going to do with Akko though ;D but wasn't that confident about it or that she's afraid that Akko will be disgusted with her. Mari went to the extent of saying that it's okay if they stopped or Akko laughing it off by saying it's a joke because they haven't taken off their bottoms yet ...

Akko assured Mari's feelings by covering them with the blanket [=A=! Whatever for!?] and taking off both their bikini bottoms. Now completely naked, they faced each other, Akko asked Mari what she wants to do and Mari replied that she wants to touch Akko. Akko gave the okay and they touched and groped each other ;D Akko slides her thigh in between Mari and she gasped. Akko said she's in the same situation as Mari too and guided her hand towards her wetness. Mari seemed relieved that Akko's the same too and cried. Akko gently caressed her face and kissed her forehead, murmuring that Mari's an idiot [probably for Mari's insecurity?].

A few hours later, both of them basking in the afterglow with Akko caressing the flustered Mari's hair and giggling. Akko suggested that Mari grow her hair out but Mari replied that Akko's the one who helped her snip her long hair off before. Akko replied that she's fine with Mari, short or long hair, both of them cute! Akko added that Mari will be even cuter if she has longer hair than she had before and they can probably style their hair together --- Akko's tummy growled. Seemed like both missed dinner [they were busy!] and it's after 12 midnight =o Akko remembered that she bought bread for breakfast and got them out. The shy Mari put on clothes first before joining Akko.

Mari commented that it's not healthy/nutritious for Akko to only eat bread. Akko replied that it's okay because she get to eat Mari's bento during afternoons~ Akko complimented Mari's cooking and stated that Mari will make an awesome bride! Mari got insecured again, thinking that they're going to be separated one day but Akko surprised her by adding that she's hers, meaning that Mari's is HER bride =D. Mari softly replied that she too decided to be Akko's bride xD, unfortunately Akko didn't hear it nor Mari repeated her statement. Instead Mari said that she's going to be a nutritionist to make sure Akko eats well and that she enjoys cooking and making bentos for her too so ...

Akko's so touched that she lunged for Mari, hugging her and exclaimed that she loves Mari and her bento. In Mari's mind, she was glad that her great feeding plan was a success. Akko started making plans, saying that Mari should make bento for their outing, to theme parks and camping. Akko lamented that they didn't really enjoy their first class outing together before so she wanted a time where they will enjoyed it together. Akko sleepily added that she want them to wear the bikinis they were wearing before to beaches or swimming ... Mari replied that they would have to wait until the next break to do that ... Mari turned and noticed that Akko dozed off [DEJA VU!?].

Mari recalled that it was Akko's room that she first kissed the sleeping Akko. Mari never thought that she would be in this situation again and remembered that during that time she had not realized her feelings for Akko yet. Caressing Akko's lips, Mari thought to herself that she wants them to be together ... no, they must be together. No matter what happens, she will never give up.

Fast forward to April, they are now in their 3th year, the girls greet their friends happily and discussed about their new seating arrangements. Mari told Akko that their seats were separated to which Akko whispered to Mari that if she continued to seat beside Mari, she might not to able to control her feelings to be lovey-dovey with her xD. Akko commented that they're finally in their 3th year and felt that their 2nd year was really long. Mari thought to herself that they only have 1 more year to go but 1 year is a long time for them. - END -

ONE MORE CHAPTER TO GOOOOO! NOOOOooOoo!

Mononoke Girls' Academy, long name. Oh, Primastea just updated a DVD cover for Kuttsukiboshi, check it out here.

Oh yeah, spoilers of GIRLFRIENDS C34 for those who speak moonspeak; Yuri Amagasa, a summary anyone?

All I could make out from happygoluckygoogletranslator is that they kissed with tongue [熱く舌を絡めあう2人 WHOA!], both of them realizing that it is going to be both of their first times and it had been one big misunderstanding with xx-kun and xx-kun who can't get it up lol.

"「まりは……どうしたいの？」と聞くあっこに「さ……さわりたい……あっこに」と恥かしがりながら答えるまりは、望みどおりあっこの裸の胸などを触っていきますが、そうしている間、ふと触れたあっこのひざがまりのアソコに当たってビクンとした際、あっこはまりがすっかり濡れてしまっていることに気付きます。" Sounds damn hot lol, shyness, touching each other, glances, naked, boobs, more touches, akko, mari, wet haha, cool.

"恥かしがっているそんなまりを見て、あっこも「私もだよ？…ね？」とまりの手を導き、自分のものも濡れていることを確かめさせてあげます。" Hmmm looking shy then Akko going, me too ... I'm wet too!? =O

OMFFG, I have high hopes for this chapter after that summary \O/ I can't wait for Monday when AE gets her copy and scans it wheee!

[OVA] Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o 3 - Anata to Koibito Tsunagi OVA Trailer

2010-06-18T00:45:00.004+08:00

[Posted @ 11:15 PM]
Hey there, a quick update =D The trailer for Hanabira 3 OVA is out, watch it here. Make sure you have quicktime though. If not, I've upload the mov file in mediafire, you can download from here. Still need quicktime though lol. You can also view the trailer in getchu, images there are NSFW though, click at your own risk =3

In addition to Hanabira 3 OVA coming up end of this July, there's another yurilicious animation titled Kuttsukiboshi [くっつきぼし] by Primastea to look out for this coming August at Comiket. I'll elaborate on each title, click below to read more.

Four words for Hanabira 3, "I CAN'T FREAKING WAIT!"

Be warn, what you are about to view contains mature themes and it may not be suitable for minors [Those below 18] so if you're weak in the heart, PLEASE DO NOT PROCEED. I will NOT be liable for any damages - be them physical, emotional, or blood loss from viewing. =)

If you agree, please click on the 'SHOW' button to see the link.

See Screenshots:

Watch the trailer of Kuttsukiboshi at Primastea's youtube account. The setting seems really cliché with the girl meets girl, girl admires girl, girls become friends and turn lovers in the end ... but the BGM in the trailer is really good, I like it a lot. Things get really suggestive from 0:32 seconds onwards. I supposed it involves a naughty foot to trigger such a reaction from the brunette haha xD. A passionate moment at the top of the staircase and in the classroom. Lastly a sweet scene of them holding hands walking through into the sunset. Part 1 is set to be released on August 16th 2010 and Part 2 on Summer 2011 [OMG!].

IchigoYuri TGIF Updates 18

2010-05-27T01:37:00.005+08:00

[Posted @ 11:45 PM]
Hey there, it's been a while and just in time for IchigoYuri TGIF Updates \O/ even though it's not friday. Oh well. Here are lists of newly or about to be release shoujo-ai/yuri manga titles I'm thinking of getting or just taking note of.

I'll elaborate on each title, so please click to read more =D

So getting them;
- 失楽園 [Shitsurakuen] #2 and #3
- オクターヴ [Octave] #4
- 百合姫Wildrose [Yurihime Wildrose] #5
- ラブフラッグ★Girls!! [Love Flag Girls!!]

Shitsurakuen is getting confusing yet interesting as it progresses, the latest scanlation by Mako-Scans was awesome! Yet another lady in Sora's harem ;D 4 down, 2 to go ... hmm and Tsuki too xD The plot might revolve around sexism, portrays the XY chromosomes as evil, controlling and crazy bunch and the XX chromosomes as meek and submissive weaklings however, I don't really care as long Sora gets her harem so I recommend you read this with a open mind =3

Octave, hmm seriously speaking I've stopped catching up on Octave scanlations since last year =P cos raws were not around and I have better manga out there to catch up on. We must be doing something right because the yuri world has an awesome scanner who started to purchase and scan yuri manga for all [including the lagging Octave scans]. Check out Tranquil Spring [TS] for the latest chapters of Octave =D

Yurihime Wildrose #5, \O/ not too long ago I read #4 and #5's out already hmm, the cover is getting more scandalous with each volume lol xD, hope this pass the whatever MDA when I ship it over. Lililicious and Dynasty Scans [DS] have both scanlated some of the works in it, personally I liked the one by Tanaka Rin [A new contributor]. Love Flag Girls!! by Takahashi Itsumi, the same mangaka who did Itoshi wo Tome and 2 works in Yurhime Wildrose #3 and #4 respectively. Got this just because it was rated a 5.5 at yuri_amagasa haha. Besides, the cover looks delicious *_*

Newly released;
- 少女ホリック [Shoujo Holic]
- キミ恋リミット [Kimi Koi Limit]
- スリーピングビューティーの見た夢 [Sleeping Beauty no Mita Yume]
- オレンジイエロー [Orange Yellow] - 水色シネマ [Mizuiro Cinema]

Shoujo Holic and Kimi Koi Limit are both featured in Yuri Hime #20 and both of them look pretty interesting. Momono Moto, the mangaka of Kimi Koi Limit has one of his/her work in Yurihime Wildorse #5, titled "Your Love" and was scanlated by Lililicious. A short by cute work, maybe I might give this a try. Shoujo Holic by Aoi Hana [Yeah like Aoi Hana manga lol] has a pretty art style, I've googled for this mangaka's previous works and they're all josei stuff hmm. Yet another in the awesome GL bandwagon?

Sleeping Beauty no Mita Yume by Yotsuhara Furiko is most likely a tankoubon of her various works in Yuri Hime [#13-20] . I like find them sweet, especially Zero Kelvin no Sumire [#14], the one with the vice-president [the one with slanted eyes] and Rokujouhan Shuukai Okure [#18] with the NEET and a high school girl xD.

Mizuiro Cinema and Orange Yellow by Otsu Hiyori are also likely tankoubon of her various works in Yuri Hime. All chapters of Mizuiro Cinema are scanlated by Lililicious, hopefully the tankoubon will have a special omake of Tae and Yui.

Coming soon this June;
- GIRL FRIENDS #4
- Candy Boy #1
- Sweet Guilty Love Bites
- フィダンツァートのためいき [Just added and lazy to add the image in]

GFFFFFFFF ... btw Chapter 32 is outtttt! Why aren't they getting it on alreadyyy!? lol Instead, Akko's worrying over her future or something like that. Imma kill Morinaga Miruku if she leaves it hanging like that ... THE HORROR! Oh well, *waits for scanlation*.

Candy Boy manga is weird. The art's weird, maybe I'm used to the anime art style and somehow Kanade is getting a little creepy... Anyways, I'm still getting this manga lol.

Both Sweet Guilty Love Bites by Amano Shuninta and フィダンツァートのためいき by Tanaka Rin also featured in Yuri Hime #20, look interesting especially the latter, boosts a private Ojou-sama school setting =o

Pondering hmmm;
- 絶対少女聖域アムネシアン [Zettai Shoujo Seiiki Amnesian] #1
- ロイヤルストレートフラッシュ [Royal Straight Flush] by 王族BAND [Ouzoku BAND]

After Zefiberyl Translations placed Zettai Shoujo Seiiki Amnesian on hold, I'm starting to lose confidence in this manga and Kaishaku ... I'll be waiting for Kaishaku to finish the series before purchasing it ... or never o_o See how it goes.

Ouzoku BAND - thanks to roro, <3 TRIP STAR xD Maybe gonna wait for them to release an album, a single's too expensive :<
Oh yes, I guess you guys should know by now that Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o 3 - Anata to Koibito Tsunagi [その花びらにくちづけを「あなたと恋人つなぎ」] the animation will be out on 30 July 2010, that's just two months away! Uh, screenshots of the OVA here but be warn, it's NOT SAFE FOR WORK! The art style looks okay ... hmmm. Oh yes, there's a nice, a little NSFW pin-up of Reo and Mai in Yuri Hime S #12, I've grabbed it from yamibo, click here to save it =D.

Ah, speaking of yamibo, a kind soul has completely scanlated Sorairo Girlfriend [空色ガールフレンド] by Rikachi in Mandarin, well for those who can't read Mandarin ... too bad but at least you got to read the raws ;D It was cute at first and turned BL in the end lol. Those who are new to yamibo, read this post on how to register in yamibo.

Phew, tired, it's late, oh yeah, I've updated by my Manga Collection, if you're interested in what manga I have, feel free to take a look. Righty, see ya.

Fifth Anniversary of IchigoYuri

2010-03-22T00:31:00.001+08:00

[Posted @ 12:01 AM]
I'm uh ... almost 2 months late? haha. A year has passed from the post on IchigoYuri's fourth anniversary and that dreadful moment I realized that there are going to be changes in my life. Thanks for the nice and encouraging comments that had helped me go through one more year.

For the moment, everything looks fine and dandy but the future is uncertain. I can't seem to let myself go, so fearful, maybe this is just an excuse for me to procrastinate, I dunno. I feel so aimless, a bit restless and unwilling?

That aside, my home as I fondly nicknamed it 'my jungle' went under intensive renovations for half a year? Not so sure since I wasn't in Singapore when it happened. Anyways, it's almost done now except for the lawn and the fishpond. As you can see above, THAT'S MY ROOM! OZMG I finally get to own my OWN ROOM \O/

After a tiring weekend of cleaning/dusting my manga collection from the sealed boxes they were in ... they're now proudly displayed in my room's manga shelves! I sure hope it won't collapse despite my mum repeatedly assuring me that it won't lol. Let's hope my mum's right.

Alrighty, that's all =D see you guys soon.

Be warn that there are some NSFW sample CG pictures over at Fuguriya. Also, if you're not from Japan, you will need to use a proxy [such as www.freeproxyserver.net] to surf Fuguriya's site. More CG samples and download information in this post! Click to read more =D.

You can download the game at Yamibo but you gotta register in Yamibo, look at my post to see how to. YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD ALL THE PARTS stated in the thread. For example Parts 1-6 and some are only 3 parts, stick to one poster.

You're so cute~

They look so cute together xD.
I've only played 3 or so minutes of the game lol, can't play much in the living room =P All I knew was Erisu [blond-haired] is a transferred student with a Japanese dad and European mum while Shizuku [dark-haired] is a traditional Yamato Nadeshiko. It's cute to see Shizuku going 'doki doki' when she first saw Erisu and Erisu as well. I'm starting to like this pairing already =3

Alright, enough chatting, to those who are lucky enough to own their own rooms, enjoy!

[Posted @ 2:32 PM]

MY STRAWBERRY PANIC! DVDs ARE HERE!
Purchases from Amazon US: Your & My Secret #1-#5, Tetragrammaton Labryinth #6, Venus Versus Virus #7, Hayate x Blade #4-#5 and last but not least Strawberry Panic! DVD LiteBox [5 DVDs Inside].

More rants below about purchases from Amazon Japan in this post as well.

Finally got my copy of Little Little xD
Purchases from Amazon Japan: Little Little, Hanjuku Joshi #2, Yuri Hime Wildrose #4, Gokujou Drops #3, Ruriiro no Yume, Yukemuri Sanctuary, Honey Quartetto, Girlfriends #3, Octave #3 and Shitsurakuen #1.

I've read all 5 [On-going] volumes of Your & My Secret [Boku to Kanojo no XXX] already, highly recommended even though it's a gender-bender kinda romantic comedy ... more of the comedy side xD which attracted me to it in the first place. I've yet to read Tetragrammaton Labryinth and VVV because ... I've not read the previous volumes yet =A=! All my books are still packed in boxes back at my jungle. Currently I'm living in a ... uh farm lol, renovations in the jungle will only be completed after ... Chinese New Year [February] or later? No idea.

Moving on, Hayate x Blade #4-#5, I've finished reading #4 and halfway through #5 xD It was an awesome read, guess I finally caught up with the scanlations, hopefully the publication catches up with the Japanese version soon [11 volumes =o]. I've not opened the SP DVD yet ... =P later when I feel like it.

On the Japan purchases side, YES I FINALLY GOT LITTLE LITTLE!@@##!!! The good news is that Little Little didn't end at Chapter 6. There are two more chapters, 7 and 8 ... a sweet ending I guess and the bad news is that it could do without the guy :< and oh, finally a dialogue too =O

A sample page from Chapter 7;

A sample page from Chapter 8;

First dialogue ever.

It was a sweet ending =D cute moments here and there. Now, on to the big guns. Gokujou Drops #3!!! Sample pages from each chapter after the latest scanlation Chapter 20. Do not read on if you don't want to spoil yourself ;D

And also Mikuni Hadzime [The mangaka who did your favourite Gokujou Drops].

A Guide on How to Play Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o Series Games

2009-12-28T22:33:00.008+08:00

Please read THE WHOLE POST for I've listed solutions to FOUR common problems why you can't play Hanabira;

1. Gibberish Data/system error or whatever warnings whenever one clicks on the hanaX.exe to start the game.

Like this:
2. Boxes/Weird wordings for lines during gaming, like the gibberish words seen above.
3. The folder extracted out doesn't have HANA.EXE or HANABIRA.EXE or just EXE program extensions.
4. Experienced errors/warnings when extracting out with WinRAR - Such as next volume is required or corrupted/damaged files or something like that.

Lastly, I've recently edited this post to include playing Hanabira on Windows 7, yes it works! It's the same with Windows XP, as long as you change the systems' default language / system locale, it'll most probably work. Please scroll down to see how to do it on Win7.

[Posted @ 8:30 PM]
For those who are new to the Hanabira series or still don't know how to extract the game from WinRAR. Now is the time to catch up on the previous 6 games =D.

Hope the guide helps, if you have any more problems, post your comments on this post and I'll try to help you as soon as possible =D.

Problem 1: I understand that many has data/system error warnings whenever one clicks on the hanaX.exe to start the game, AND/OR
Problem 2: Boxes/Weird wordings for lines during gaming.

As most systems' default language is English, my solution is to change the system's language so that the program - hanaX.exe can be displayed in Japanese.

Step 1 - Extract the files/folder from WinRAR;

Step 2 - Go to Control Panel, Regional & Language Options;

Step 3 - In Regional & Language Options, Advanced Tab;

Step 4 - After Restarting, Click on Hana7.exe;

Step 5 - Click START to Play the Game;

Step 6 - Hanabira Game, Load/Save Screen;

Step 7 - Hanabira Game, Extra/CG Screen;

Step 8 - Hanabira Game, System Screen;

Step 9 - Hanabira Game, Game Screen;

If you're playing the Mandarin/Chinese version, the solution is the same, change the language settings.

HOWEVER, there IS an easier/faster way that requires no restarts, I've tried it and it does work on Hana7.exe [Not sure about the others]. AppLocale by Microsoft which is a launcher application that makes it possible to run non-Unicode (code page-based) applications in a locale of the user's choice. It works for Windows XP but not really supported for Windows Vista [You can try installing though].

You can also play the Mandarin/Chinese and Japanese game at the same time lol without restarting to change the language settings.

Enjoy the game. A happy belated Christmas and a happy new year to all =D

[Oh, I've also missed Shizuru-sama's 19/12 birthday =A=, happy belated birthday to her as well!]

Oh yes, almost forgot, その花びらにくちづけを　あなたと恋人つなぎ [Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o - Anata to Koibito Tsunagi] Animation coming soon!? Source from Ichijinsha.

A slightly bigger version;

Not sure if it'll be an animation series [13-24 episodes!?] or just a 1-3 episodes OVA, nevertheless, ozmg it's an animation! =D I look forward to it! I'm sure it'll be a R-18/21 rated one xD.

Anyways, random rants of the night;
I've just bought Yurihime Wildrose #4 [;_; please arrive soon] and ozmg, #5 will be out on 18th February 2010!? Along with Octave #4 and a new series by Morishima Akiko お江戸とてシャン. Doesn't seem to be fully-yuri related though.

[Signing off @ 10:33 PM]

EDITED ON 01/01/2010:

Problem 3: If the folder extracted out doesn't have HANA.EXE or HANABIRA.EXE or just EXE program extensions.

Step 1 - Check that you have ALL THREE PARTS and extract them out;

Step 2 - If you only have ONE PART;

Step 3 - You will only see these files which is WRONG;

Step 4 - Files you will have if you have ALL THREE PARTS;

Problem 4: Experienced errors/warnings when extracting out with WinRAR - Such as next volume is required or corrupted/damaged files or something like that.

Step 1 - See that you name the files properly like hanapart1.rar, hanapart2.rar and hanapart3.rar;

Step 2 - If the PART is damaged or corrupted;

Step 3 - Repair and click OK, see that you know where the repaired file was saved;

Step 4 - Use the REPAIR function as last resort, recommended to re-download the PART again;

Happy new year again! lol

EDITED ON 08/04/2010:

Problem 5: I'm using Windows 7, I've extracted out HanabiraX folder and clicked on hanaX.exe to start the game but it gave me data/system error warnings! AND/OR it displayed boxes/weird wordings for lines during gaming.

Like Window XP, most Windows' systems' default language is English, my solution is to ALSO change the system's language so that the program - hanaX.exe can be displayed in Japanese.

Step 1 - Go to Control Panel > Clock, Language and Region > Region and Language.

Step 2 - Administrative Tab > Change System Locale.

Step 3 - Change it to Japanese (Japan) > Restart.

Step 4 - After restarting, try clicking on hanaX.exe again, it should work.

Hope it works on your Windows 7! =D

[Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o Amakute Hoshikute Torokeru Chuu]

Fast post, just came back from Brisbane and I'm using my laptop in the living room ... with tons of people hovering around. No chance to play the game at all lol. Looks interesting though xD, teacherxstudent pair ... kinda a bit young for my liking though, would be better if Runa's older.

Some CG pictures over here Digiket ; Fuguriya.

I think you need to use a proxy to surf Fuguriya's site. Download the game at Yamibo and Nihonomaru Network however you gotta register in Yamibo though, look at my post to see how to.

Enjoy! I'll update my gaming thoughts ... when I get the chance to play it xD.

IchigoYuri TGIF Updates 17

2009-12-05T01:50:00.003+08:00

[Posted @ 3:19 AM]
I just watched Kämpfer Episode 10 and felt that it deserves to be mentioned in this post. Episode 9 was freaking awesome as well especially at the end, totally unexpected.

Spoilers ahead!

OMG! THE EVIL KAEDE IS HOT LOL [The Kämpfer version of Akane's hot as well xD]. At first, I thought, 'Oh. Another irritating good-two shoes.' but after Episode 9-10, I've changed my mind. Kaede-sama~!!! <33 She even has her own harem to boot! I doubt she suffers schizophrenia, she's just pure evil >=D a wolf in a lamb's coat. Wow, I didn't expect that she'll be a villain, thought she'll just be a key to the 'Moderator' or the 'Moderator' herself but not in a manipulative and bad way hmmm.

So after that I went to read the manga version of Kämpfer, more or less the same with some changes and additions here and there. Chapter 15 seems to be the latest chapter and hanged around the School Festival arc [Ep 6 of the anime?]. Not sure if the development will be the same as the animation as it finally seems to be entering the climax and interesting part of the series. It almost felt like a 'Mai HiME' moment, 10+ episodes of fan-service, nonsense fun and then BAM! The plot starts to kick in.

At the beginning of Episode 9, that scene where Kaede smiled at those girls walking by, I was like ... 'That smile kinda look evil ...' and thought it's just the stupid animators' doing a shitty job again. Like this;

But towards the end, after saying that she'll support Shizuku-chan, Kaede suddenly turned ... feral which made me go O_O The scene whereby she cornered Natsuru, accompanied by the BGM and that evil expression Kaede had as she cajoled Natsuru to go with her was totally awesome xD

Finally it hit me, Oh Kämpfer HAS a PLOT! Haha. Somehow it felt too late, will they be able to wrap this up in ... 2 episodes?

Basically, it's confirmed that Kaede's the Moderator and apparently has hypnotic abilities but somehow a kiss could break away the hypnotic state hmmm. Kaede's actions are getting bolder, from the previews, she will reveal her true nature next episode, perhaps psycho Natsuru to her side once again and then final showdown in the last episode? Can't wait to see how everything unfolds \O/

Now to random anime thoughts;

Sasameki Koto is starting to get into the pace I think, the hand sign conversation between Sumika and Ushio is funny xD depicted the manga's version well maybe better (y). The scene where Azusa was crying was well depicted as well, glad to see the pacing speeding up. Sadly, it has only 13 episodes ... hmm I wonder where will they stop ...

Shin Koihime Musou; hmmm can't remember what's it about ... oh yeah Ryuubi finally got her back sword only to lose it again ... and that's about it I can remember haha.

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun; Episode 8 was awesome, <3 headdesking Kuroko haha, at first I thought her voice was irritating but after a while I got used to it and thought it sounds interesting and distinctive now =D. Episode 9 sure felt like a filler episode, the battle scene between Kuroko and that bad guy really took too long, too much yabadaba talking and all.

Kiddy Girl End; Episode 6A was ... interesting hahaha, 6B was =O and some parts were disturbing ... like Dia asking for more milk ... and stuff anyways, it was enjoyable.

Hmm what else ... that's about it I guess, cya next time. I should really sleep early hmm.

[Morinaga Miruku] Girlfriends Chapter 27

2009-11-24T00:45:00.003+08:00

[Posted @ 1:33 AM]
*gasps* Girlfriends Chapter 27 raw is out at yamibo as usual. Go read them now!!

A kind member in yamibo provided a loose translation in Mandarin of the chapter, click read more if you want to be spoilt ;D

Recapturing from the previous chapter, Akko confessed to Mari, this time making sure that Mari knows that Akko is romantically interested in her. So Akko went 'Please go out with me!' but Mari went '!?!?!' and ran away =A=

I'm glad Akko chased after Mari if not I'll be very pissed :< Akko managed to catch up to Mari and she was going 'This seemed to happen before too ...' [Referring to Mari running away from Akko and leaving her behind alone] Mari replied that it's because Akko said something weird again. Akko's words after that were pretty strong, saying that is it strange that she likes Mari? Is it because they're both girls? Akko continued that even though she felt that it was strange in the first place as well but she can't help it because now her 'like' is similar to Mari's 'like'. Mari thought Akko was pitying her or trying to be a friend and told Akko to not to go through such great extents to pacify her or something. However, deep down, Mari's really happy that Akko said that to her.

Akko is slightly angry that Mari doesn't believe her. In Mari's mind, she doesn't believe that things will go so smoothly and that Akko will respond to her feelings. Mari stammered that because Akko doesn't know what 'going out' means or that it's possible ... Akko replied that they won't if it's possible or not if they don't try right? Besides, Akko added that she thought that they were already going out lol. Mari's reaction was huge cos she didn't realized it. Akko said that it's because that Mari told her she likes her and that they kissed ... Mari thought it was just a friendly kiss and Akko did that to her other friends too ... Akko replied that she won't do that with Sugi or Tamamin anymore.

Not deterred, Akko asked Mari if she would believe her if it's not a kiss between friends? Akko confessed that she wasn't sure she could be friends with Mari when she first spoke to her but they did. Akko declared once again that she likes Mari and wanted Mari to like her even if it's just a tiny little bit. She wants to be more than friends with Mari and she will be very happy if it really happens ... and thinks that she's being simple-minded. I guess Akko's passionate confession appeased Mari's fragile heart and she finally accepted Akko's confession \O/

Akko was so happy that she hugged Mari and Mari was embarrassed because there were people around them. Unconcerned, Akko leaned in, seemingly wanting to kiss Mari, Mari was going 'Now!? Here!? There are people around ...' :< and the phone rang damn. The others were looking for them so they went back. In Mari's mind, she realized that Akko's hand is not trembling anymore and that it might be because of her which she added that she's just dreaming about it.

On the last day of the school trip, Mari yawned and the rest teased Akko that it's because of her snoring lol and that Akko slept like the dead. Mari then recalled what happened last night ... Taguchi and Kuno went out leaving Akko and Mari alone in the room again ;D They started talking about packing the luggage and that many things happened that day. In Mari's mind, Akko's statement about a kiss not between friends popped out. Mari frantically thinks that what should she do? She's not ready for it yet! Then she turned around and saw Akko dead asleep lol. And that's why Mari didn't sleep a wink last night. Mari blushed and added that it's not because she's waiting for it or something and chastised herself for thinking too much weird stuff.

However, Mari added in her mind that it can't be help ... because she likes Akko. The girls then bought both matching omamori (Japanese for Amulet). Akko then lead them to a store selling hand phone straps/key chains whatever it is and they bought a similar match as well. However Akko was fidgeting or rather jealous that Mari still had that hand phone strap ... whatshisname yes Harada lol gave to her. At that moment, Mari then really realized that Akko seriously really likes her in romantic sense (GJ!).

Mari started crying and Akko thought that she's sad because of the hand phone strap and said that it's okay for her to keep it. In Mari's mind, she's happy that she fell in love (or likes whichever you prefer) with Akko. So the girls were on the plane back and Mari thought to herself that things will go back to normal and which includes the relationship between Akko and Mari. Although Mari doesn't know what will happen later but she will never forget what happened that day. She would definitely never forget about it, ever.

It was an awesome chapter, no drag, no filler, Mari not only accepted Akko's confession but also understood the depth of Akko's love for her ;D I like the last two pages with them taking a photo together and Akko leaning in to kiss her even though we don't really see it but I would imagine they did *squeal* I hope there's no more angst in the next chapter, demands lots of fluff ... and Mari to accept that she can too have this happiness.

Gokujou Drops Volume 3 Chapter 18 Preview

2009-11-20T03:46:00.004+08:00

[Posted @ 4:45 AM]
\O/ I've finished my exams! :< not very happy with my last paper argh, that ... that bleaccccccchhhh, hate her. Anyways, hopefully I can graduate this semester, I do not want to sit for ANY supplementary papers lol. Ah yes, I'm not sure why I'm still up at this ungodly hour but I'm here to bring you maor news =D about the 5 ecchi titles Ichijinsha released on November 18th 2009 ; 極上ドロップス [Gokujou Drops] by Mikuni Hazime, 湯けむりサンクチュアリ by 天野しゅにんた [Amano Shuninta], 空色ガールフレンド by リカチ [Rikachi], ハニー★カルテット by 所ケメコ [Tokoro Kemeko] and 乙女戦士ラブリー5! by 城之内寧々 [Jounouchi Nene].

I've mentioned about them in my previous Candy Boy post and do you know that you can browse Chapter 1 [20+ pages!] of each title for FREE like NAO? Go ahead and squeal I know you are doing it now lol ; I'm not sure when this free previewing ends but just hurry I guess. Firstly, click this Ichijinsha link. Secondly, click continue to read more below to well ... READ MORE lol.

I've screenshot the steps if you guys can't read moon, well I can't as well but then it's better to save you guys the trouble of going ... HOW DO I GO TO THAT PAGE? -inserts raging anon- Even though it's quite easy to do it. I can't link that page directly, it doesn't load when I click on the link from yuri amagasa. Oh yeah, enable your pop-up cos yeah it's opens another window when you click on it.

Step 1;

Step 2;

Step 3;

Yeah I know the pictures looks blurish and I'm lazy to open PS to resize it so I used paint. By here I don't think anyone will be reading this anymore and I don't blame you xD. Run along, go read all the Chapters and come back to me ;D

Anyways if you're still reading ... SPOILERS ALERT!!!!! SQUEALS lol Gokujou Drops~~~ I'm sure I'll grin wolfishly whenever I see someone squirt mayonnaise on something or someone lol. Guess this volume finally touches on the childhood flashback of Komari eh? Some reckon it's Yukio's sickish brother ... and she sure does look angsty at that last page when she saw that necklace =O Omg, I want to buy it now but ... I want to wait for Yurihime Wildrose Volume 4 coming out on December 18th \O/

湯けむりサンクチュア looks interesting ... heh it's only Chapter 1 and someone got some already xD. I might add this in my shopping cart. Hmmm, 空色ガールフレンド looks interesting as well, a love triangle, nuthing much in C1 except some cute 'No! She's mine!' grabbing and passing of notes. Next, ハニー★カルテット, ohh it's weird, felt like deja vu lol, art looks very similar to 空色ガールフレンド anyways but better since it has a finger cut licking scene lol. But this is short, just 18 pages. Lastly, 乙女戦士ラブリー5, omg, this HAS to be read last lol, S&M, cosplay, lacy costumes ... right in the first few pages xD. I see a few recurring characters, that oneshot S&M teacher etc from Yurihime Wildrose hmm.

That's all for this post! Enjoy =D

Candy☆Boy Manga

2009-11-11T11:58:00.000+08:00

EDITED @ 11/11/2009:

[Posted @ 3:46 PM]

Short update, Candy☆Boy Manga Chapter 1 is out on COMIC FLAPPER (コミックフラッパー). Tsundere Yuriko is scanlating it and hopefully we'll be able to see Chapter 1 out soon =D [Seems like she has already translated it and it is in the cleaning/editing process.]

Here's a teaser I grabbed from 4chan and LQ scans are available there as well, kindly scanned by Audio Erotica from shoujoai forum.

Volume 3 cover of 極上ドロップス [Gokujou Drops] is out, release date on 18 November, 2009. Two teaser pages, here and here grabbed from yuri amagasa.

There are also 4 other yuri related titles released on the same day, 湯けむりサンクチュアリ by 天野しゅにんた [Amano Shuninta] who has two of his/her works in Yuri Hime Volume 16 and 17 titled '恋愛構造式' and 'Backshot' respectively. Personally, I like '恋愛構造式' a lot lol cos of the age gap thingy and the sweet 'GODS I WANT MOAR NAO!' ending. 'Backshot' is not bad either, quite interesting for a summer's read xD. As the title suggests, it seems to revolve around different couples in an onsen setting? Awesome teaser pictures over here.

空色ガールフレンド by リカチ [Rikachi]. This I have no idea, looking at the previous works of this mangaka, most of them are under the shoujo/josei genre ... hm the artstyle looks okay, let's see how it goes.

ハニー★カルテット by 所ケメコ [Tokoro Kemeko], similarly to Rikachi, most of this mangaka's previous works are shoujo related, see how it goes as well. A teaser from the mangaka's blog looks promising *_* Looks like the shoujo-ai/yuri bandwagon is getting lucrative eh?

乙女戦士ラブリー5! by 城之内寧々 [Jounouchi Nene], had an under-rated story and a tankoubon titled 'Apple Day Dream' that was serialized in Yuri Hime back then. Perhaps the most famous or rather more impressionable stories of his/hers were from Yuri Hime Wildrose lol, Volume 1's 'From Your L-I-P-S' with the Sachiko and Yumi from Marimite look-alikes and Volume 2's 'Teacher's Pet', the S&M story =D.

Lastly, some awesome postcards or something a lucky Japanese blogger got of the 5 manga mentioned above. :< I want them too. I'm so gonna order Gokujou Drops, I might order Amano Shuninta's work as well ... hmm

2009-11-04T22:43:00.003+08:00

[Posted @ 11:55 PM]
Tonight I bring you yet another Hisa x Mihoko doujinshi =D yayaya I did say I was going to translate that Yumi x Momoko doujinshi but ... I was lazy and I got more love for HxM than YxM =x

Images are over at yamibo, click here to fly there. There were a few lines I wasn't sure of and sorry if it doesn't make sense or something. If anyone could read moon, click here for the raws. However the quality of the scans is not good and some of the bubbles were either cut off or blurish.

And, this doujinshi is brought to you by Hakka-ya and his/her website is; http://www5b.biglobe.ne.jp/~hakka-ya/

-Cover & Insert-
あなたがいても、いなくても
anata ga itemo, inakutemo (Whether you are here, or not)

-Author’s comments not translated.-

-Page 1-

Girl: Hey, the 1st year over there!

-Page 2-

Girl: Seriously… everyone’s at the gymnasium already.
--- Don’t you know your class?

Mihoko: Ah…

Mihoko: I’m sorry… I have not checked it yet.

Girl: Eh?
--- What were you doing a moment ago then?

[On the day of the entrance ceremony for Kazekoshi,]
[The first thing I did was to look for your name instead of my own.]
[Among the people who were there to look at the Announcement Board,]
[I kept looking out for any sights of Ueno-san.]

-Page 3-

[Always, always.]
[From that moment on, constantly.]

[I kept on searching for any sights of you.]

[I began to fantasise,]
[If only you could be by my side.]

-anata ga itemo, inakutemo-

-Page 4-

Kana: I’m sorry!
--- Captain…

Mihoko: It’s okay, Kana.
--- It can’t be help since you’re having your makeup exams.

Kana: Uuuh…
--- I’m sorry, I’m such an idiot…

*But! It’s just one subject, just one subject…*

*There, there.*

Kana: Ah!
--- I-if you can wait for me, then, then…

Mihoko: Then,
--- Try your best, Kana!

*Fight!*

Kana: Okay…

-Page 5-

Mihoko: Come to think of it,
--- It’s been a while since I went home by myself.

[Maybe it’s because that recently I been hanging around with Kana,]
[That there’s hardly any moment of me being alone like this.]

[When I’m alone, I would unconsciously fantasise,]

[What if Ueno-san was in Kazekoshi,]
[Would we be like this together,]
[Chatting and walking home at the same time?]

[Would she… smile at me?]

-Page 6-

[Would she
--- hold
--- my hand?]

[Because
--- I’m by myself]

Mihoko: ……… Stupid!

-Shake shake

[… I really want to see you]

[Ueno-san, Ueno-san.]

[Ueno-san.]

-Page 7-

[Ueno-san------]

Hisa: Ara?

Mihoko: Eh?
--- Ueno-san…?

Hisa: Ah, you’re---
--- You’re Kazekoshi’s Captain right?

-Page 8-

[Ueno-san.]
[Ueno-san.]
[Ueno-san.]

Hisa: Come to think of it,
--- During that time, it seems like you already knew me.

Mihoko: Uh… erm, I’m Fukuji Mihoko.
--- Three years ago, at a competition …

Hisa: Aah, I see.
--- I’m sorry, I was a bit confused back then and didn’t really notice anything.

Hisa: Well then, let’s try this again,
--- Pleased to meet you! (Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu)

-Page 9-

Mihoko: P-pleased…
--- Pleased to meet you too. (Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu)

[It’s Ueno-san…]

Hisa: There’s a shop that sells great taiyaki (baked sea bream) nearby this area, a kouhai (junior) brought me here.

Hisa: She went back first because she was riding a bicycle.

Hisa: The taiyaki is really yummy,
--- If you don’t mind, let me offer you a piece.

Mihoko: Eh?

-Page 10-

Mihoko: Ah, but,
--- The school forbids us from eating and walking at the same time after school, so ……

[Ah.]

Random Girls: Fukuji-san really is a serious person huh---
--- But isn’t that a bit too, you know---

[I’m being like this again.]

[What if Ueno-san feels that,
I’m being annoying…]

Hisa: Ooh… is that so.

Hisa: However!
--- Let’s say that Fukuji-san is really hungry right now and if she doesn’t eat anything, there’s a chance that she might faint.

Mihoko: Eh?

-Page 11-

Hisa: If that happens, it would be okay to break a school rule because it’s an emergency?

Mihoko: Pff. *chuckles*

Hisa: Ah, you laughed.

Hisa: The Fukuji-san from before is always smiling,
--- But today, you seemed like you’re feeling nervous or something.

Mihoko: Eh?

Hisa: Is it because I’m giving out repressing vibes?

Mihoko: N-n-no,
--- It’s nothing like that!

-Page 12-

Hisa: Ahaha, that’s good then.
--- Here.

Mihoko: O-okay,
--- Itadakimasu.

*Ah---*

Mihoko: Ah…
--- It’s delicious.

Hisa: It’s honey flavoured.

Mihoko: Eh?

Hisa: Aha,
--- Nothing, nothing.

-Page 13-

Mihoko: Erm,
--- Ueno-san…

Hisa: Ah, it’s that, it’s that,
--- To be addressed as Ueno-san was something that happened a long time ago so it was surprising.

Mihoko: Ah,
--- Your surname is different now,
--- Do you dislike it?

Hisa: Hm---

Hisa: I don’t dislike it, it feels a bit strange, I guess.
--- It was a long time ago; it’s been three years since anyone addressed me by that surname.

-Page 14-

[Three years,]
[During those three years, I kept thinking about you.]

[I never wondered if it had been a long or short period.]

[Only like this,]

Hisa: How about another one?

Mihoko: Ah, okay,
--- Itadakimasu.

*Eat up, eat up.*

[Constantly thinking of you.]

-Page 15-

[I kept thinking if only you could be by my side,
--- But.]

Hisa: You have some of them on your cheek.

-Rub rub rub

Hisa: Ahaha, not there.
--- The opposite side.

Hisa: Here, here.

[Even if you’re not by my side all the time,
--- Even if it’s like this.]

Hisa: Got it off.

-Page 16-

[Even if it’s like this,
--- I’m still ---]

Hisa: … Well then,
--- I’m going this way.

-Page 17-

Mihoko: Ah…

Hisa: See you again,
--- If there’s a chance.

Mihoko: ………

[Please don’t go or something like that,]
[I can’t stay that out loud.]

Hisa: Hey, Fukuji-san.
--- Like what I’ve said before,
--- And the matter about feeling hungry.

Hisa: If you don’t say anything at all and leave it like that, you wouldn’t be able to gain anything from it.

-Page 18-

Hisa: If you want something,
--- And if you don’t say ‘I want it’.

[Something I want,]
[I want ---]

Mihoko: U…
--- U-ueno-san, erm!
--- Handphone’s email address,
--- Erm, that, please tell me …

-Page 19-

*Pff*

Hisa: With pleasure!

Hisa: Ahaha
--- I thought we’ll be parting just like that.

Mihoko: Uuuh,
--- You knew about it and you continued to act that way, you meanie!

[The real you is a bit of a meanie,
--- Of course, it’s not possible that it’s because of me, but …]

-Beep beep beep beep

-Page 20-

Mihoko: I’m done,
--- Send!

*Ha---*

Kana: Captain!

Mihoko: Kana.

Kana: Sorry to keep you waiting,
--- Ah… are you sending a message?

Mihoko: Un, I do know how to send one occasionally,
--- But it’s really troublesome.

*Everyone else is so good at it.*

*Just have to ‘tatata’ and it’ll be done in a few moments…*

Kana: Ahaha.
--- That’s because Captain’s really hopeless in electronics…

Mihoko: But,
--- I’m kind of happy.

-Page 21-

Mihoko: Kana,
--- There’s a shop over there selling taiyaki,
--- Let’s detour over there for a while?

Kana: Eh?
--- I-is… is this alright? School rules ……
--- Captain’s really … towards this …

Mihoko: Haha,
--- It’s better than going hungry and fainting on the roadside right?

Kana: Ehhh..?
--- Are you really that hungry?

[To Ueno-san,]

[The taiyaki shop from before just released a new flavour.]

-Page 22-

[If you’re going to have it, next time please call me along too.]
[Fukuji Mihoko.]

Yuuki: Uh-huh,
--- Did you hook that with taiyaki?

*What, what~ Message?*

Hisa: Does it look cheap? Is that all you can think of?

-Tatata

-Beep

-Zuuu Zuuu

*Kyaaaa!*

Kana: Ca…Captain, calm down,
--- Is it because you just received a message?

-Flip

-Page 23-

*Got it.
--- I’ll call you tonight. -END-*

[It seems like the distance between us is shorten.]

[As expected, I’m still constantly thinking of you.]

-Page 24-

[However
--- Now.]

[In order to be closer to you,
--- I won’t just be waiting anymore.]

-Page 25-

*However on that night, Mihoko plainly just hanged up on all the incoming calls.*

Mihoko: Ahhh!
--- Why? Why is it like this!

-Tatatatata

-Urururu pi

-Du du du

Hisa: Ah---
--- It’s not difficult to imagine what happened---

Random rants;

Exams happening this week and next. Won't be updating till end of this month perhaps. Well, not surprising, I've only been posting a post or two for since the start of this year lol. Sigh.

Anyways! On happier notes, I've been watching anime =D

1. Kämpfer
2. Kiddy Girl End
3. Sasameki Koto
4. Shin Koihime Musou
5. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun

Episode 5 of Kämpfer makes me unhappy though :< I would prefer Natsuru to be in female form during that kiss *double pouts*

Kiddy Girl End was hilarious lol, Episode 2 was a blast, random and ... well just random, I really need some comedy in my anime xD.

Sasameki Koto ... was awkward, I dunno, somehow I was cringing whenever I hear Sumika's voice. It sounds so wrong. I wonder if it's the pacing of the words ... The OP was nice, slow but nice, I've looped it enough to like it lol.

Shin Koihime Musou ... well makes me feel like I'm watching a re-run of season 1 haha.

As for To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, <3 the OP, I've only read 2 chapters of the manga so nothing to compare there. I'm quite happy to continue watching it, I like the art style and the animation so yep.

Off to bathe and continue studying tomorrow, cya!

[Posted @ 9:22 PM]
It's been a while, I spent an hour or so last night translating this, I knew there will be a lot of mistakes so I didn't post it. Went over it just now and made some corrections but I wasn't sure in some of the parts. Sorry if some of the lines were awkward or engrish xD.

The images are over at yamibo as usual, click here to teleport yourself over there. You see that red characters on the cover? In a nice way, it says 'Only to be shared in yamibo, do not share it anywhere else.'

Don't wanna incur any yamibo member's fury so ...

Will you marry me?
Hisa & Mihoko

-Page 1-

Mihoko: I heard that iPS cells may enable couples of the same sex to have their own children.

Hisa: Eh?

Mihiko: Therefore, from today onwards, I will be Ueno-san’s bride.

Hisa: Eh?
--- Ehhh!?

*Will you marry me?*

Mihoko: Please excuse me if there’s anything that is not of your expectations.

Hisa: Ah, I’ll be counting on you then (Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu) …
--- Wait a moment, there’s something wrong here?

-Page 2-

Author comments:
Basically he/said said hello everyone and that this is the third book on both of them (Buchou and Captain).
This is the first time he/she participated in the ONLY event and taking advantage of the momentum, he/she created this newly wed book.
He/she’s kind of sorry yet happy (If only the time will extend to another day, he/she will be happier …).
As expected, the two Buchou are the best!! The cuteness is threefold when they’re together.
If only there’s some sign of them going out, he/she will be even happier.
(akayuki: me too! xD)

Mihoko: Welcome back, Ueno-san.

Mihoko: Eh …
--- Um.
--- Hi---
--- Ueno-san.

Hisa: Ah--- Really---
--- If you don’t call me Hisa then I’ll just ignore you---

Mihoko: Ehhh?

Hisa: If not, call me Goshujin-sama (Master) ---

Mihoko: Ah,

Hisa: Eh?

Kana: Al-
--- Although Captain is really pretty!
--- She’s also cute, gentle and kind!
--- It’s normal that you’ll like her!

Hisa: Hm--- you are right about that.
--- It’s more troublesome than I’ve expected.

Kana: Wha-

Kana: Wha-
--- Why you!

Hisa: Although she’s nimble at times,
--- There are also times where she will make small mistakes.
--- Nosy,
--- Unexpectedly willful,
--- Seems like a submissive individual yet stubborn.

Hisa: Not used to acting like a spoiled child,
--- Is a cry baby,

Hisa: … and various stuff

Hisa: Did the answer
--- meet the passing mark?

Kana: T-
--- There’s still a long way to go!
--- If it’s like this, even Kana will have a chance at it too,
--- But.

Kana: There might be a time when someone else will catch up, that’s why you have to listen up,
--- And that is to always, always,
--- Treat Captain’s everything as your most important thing!

Hisa: Ikeda-san is really cute huh.

-Page 22-

Hisa: Mihoko really dote on her hm.

Random rants;

Busy with assignments, I have like 5 more to go, 4 exams next month and I'll be FREE! \O/ Woots. Despite the pressure of assignments due end of this month, I'm dutifully watching anime each week lmao;

1. Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
2. Kampfer
3. Sasameki Koto of course
4. Shin Koihime Musou
5. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun

I dropped Queen's Blade Season 2 cos I feel like a freaking pervert lol. Oh yeah I LOVE To Aru Kagaku no Railgun's OP, it's so awesome, I've been looping it since yesterday while I was brainstorming a conceptual framework for my paper lol. I can't wait for the full song to come out in November xD.

I like Kampfer a lot, I don't know why, I just like it, even though the fighting scenes were shitty lol. The OP and ED *drools* and the marimite parody at the end of Episode 2 was epic. I think I smiled so widely that I split my lips *ouch* ._.

Well I'm off to watch Episode 3, O/ cya if I'm not dead by end of this month, perhaps I'll get the script for Momoko and Yumi Saki Doujinshi by then xD.

Fukuji Mihoko x Takei (Ueno) Hisa

-Page 3-

Author, Niinaryou (新和涼) Foreword (A Summary)

Basically, he/she said hi, introduced him/herself and that the Saki Fanbook is about Captain (Fukuji Mihoko) x Buchou (Takei Hisa). He/she said that he/she is a fan of them from the first volume and never expected he/she would draw a doujinshi on them.

He/she said that he/she likes Buchou (Hisa) best; he/she mentioned that the scene where Hisa ‘Tsumo’ was the coolest and the animation brought him/she back to life.

He/she next mentioned about the seiyuu of Hisa (Itou Shizuka) and that her voice is the best and the way she portrayed Hisa was wonderful. Later he/she started on the good things about the imaginations of Hisa with a past with Captain (Mihoko)

Lastly, he/she hope that the readers like his/her work, he/she will be happy and that, end of the foreword.

*Ueno-san*
*Because of the Animation, I began to have this impression of Fukuji Mihoko.*

Hisa’s Mum: Well then, Hisa, your dad and I would be going to visit your Grandmother.

Commenter: And that’s the end of the first half of the round~!

-Fuu

Commenter: Ueno-san’s beautiful win (Ron) at the end!

Mihoko: *Her strategy of winning by waiting for an unexpected tile (Tenpai) to confuse the opponent’s rhythm is working very well.*

Mihoko: *This player used an ordinary yet ingenious way of playing ---*

-Thump

-Page 6-

Hisa: *Could it be that that this kid closed her right eye on purpose ---?*
--- Your eye …

Hisa: Your right eye … is very beautiful.

Hisa: Do you know that?

Hisa: Blue sapphires and red rubies, they all have the same chemical composition.

Hisa: … That’s right, that’s why you don’t have to be embarrassed about it.

Hisa: Don’t be afraid, hurry up and show us your true abilities.
--- Show me your everything ---?

-Page 11-

Author, Niinaryou (新和涼)’s comments about possible reasons why Hisa’s surname changed from Ueno to Takei. (A Summary)

Why did Hisa’s surname changed from Ueno --> Takei?
Normally people will assume that her parents were divorced and so on, but the author felt that it’s something more serious and that’s what he/she came out with. Takei is her adoptive relative’s surname and she used the surname. In order not to financially burden her relative, Hisa studied in Kiyosumi, instead of Kazekoshi.

This is basically what the author had assumed; the truth may or may not be revealed later in the manga.

*3 Years Later*

-Page 12-

Mihoko: Coming.

Mihoko: Ah.

Hisa: Hello.

Mihoko: Ueno-san …

Mihoko: I really didn’t expect that you will visit me.

Mihoko: I … w-was …
--- was rejected after all …

-Clank

Mihoko: Ueno-san …

Hisa: You are Kazekoshi’s …

Mihoko: Fukuji.
--- I’ve been searching for you for 3 years.

Hisa: Searching for me?

Mihoko: Please.

Mihoko: Please, you must remember me!

-Thump

Hisa: !

Hisa: I’m sorry.

-Page 14-

Hisa: … Truthfully speaking, at the time we first met, lots stuff happened after that,
--- Thus my memories were kind of ambiguous.
--- However, after looking at your right eye, I remembered everything. About you and also what happened that day.

Mihoko: This is going to shake my resolve …

-Drip drip drip

Hisa: Waaah!?

Mihoko: I’m sorry, I-I on my own …
--- Hurt you and kept calling you Ueno-san … if only I had stopped and thought about the reason …

-Sob

Hisa: Wait a moment,
--- I’m here not because I want to blame you …

-Page 15-

-Grab

-Pat

Hisa: Here …

-Thump

Hisa: It’s because my heart is fragile.
--- I didn’t reciprocate your feelings properly, that’s why I’m here today.

Mihoko: *This is*

Hisa: Daisuki yo (Like)
--- The colour of your eye,
--- That’s why please let me see more of it.

Hisa: *When we met again, in actuality, I wanted to say, it’s beautiful ---*

Author, Niinaryou (新和涼) Afterword (A Summary)
(Even though Buchou might seem that way but when she’s nervous, she looks really cute.)

Once again, the author said hi and introduced him/herself. He/she asked how readers thought of Captain x Buchou although on whole, it might look like most of its focus is on Buchou (Ueno).

He/she went on to say that he/she came out with the script from constantly looping ED3 ‘Shikakui Uchuu de Matteru yo’ and that he/she likes it a lot. Even the title of the fan book is also based on one of the lines in the song (lol).

After watching the animation, he/she started to play mahjong and that he/she used to enjoy read Saki as a yuri manga but if one knows how the game plays, the battle moments will be quite exciting. He/she continued that if he/she has a chance, he/she would like to try drawing a mahjong battling scene.

With that, everything’s done and he/she urged readers to go by –Saki- Volume 6 or rather reminding him/herself.

Lastly, he/she thanked everyone for supporting and if there’s a chance, he/she hopes to see everyone again.

(Visit his/her blog! Nice pictures over there =D)

Random rants;

While reading and translating the doujinshi, I finally realized what Hisa meant by the sapphires, rubies and the same composition comment. Basically Hisa's saying that regardless of Mihoko's eye colour, red/blue, they are the 'same' to her and that Mihoko shouldn't hide that from people xD.

Which explains the lines;

Hisa: Blue sapphires and red rubies, they all have the same chemical composition.

'Hisa: … That’s right, that’s why you don’t have to be embarrassed about it.

Hisa: Don’t be afraid, hurry up and show us your true abilities.
--- Show me your everything ---?'

in the doujinshi xD.

[Posted @ 7:32 PM]
I've not watched Ep22 yet, merely saw screenshots over at yamibo thread hm. Kyoutaro and his ... vivid imagination lol. First Nodoka, now Mihoko's included in his day dream!? How dare he >:|

Anyways, seems like a mahjong intensive episode with a bit of Momoko x Yumi thrown in the end =D On the other hand, I can't wait for Episode 23 cos we have Mihoko x Hisa again! Whee \O/ I can almost imagine Mihoko going ...

'Oh, now you want me back huh!? Well, TOO LATE, I've moved on, hmph!'
Andd she looks awesome-ly hot here;

I've also uploaded my collection of Saki pictures in my photo bucket account. Click here and type in the password, hisaxmihoko to see them =D.

Here's a sample slideshow of the Hisa x Mihoko album;

If you have any other nice pictures to share, leave a comment with the image url and I'll upload in the account. I know there are many Saki pictures out there but I want those with cute/nice/awesome art styles, so yeah ... I'm a picky person xD.

Saw this awesome one-shot in yamibo a few days ago, [はっとりみつる] コンチェルト第03話 [Hattori Mitsuru] Concerto, Chapter 3. But I think you need to log in to view the pictures =\ since the last few pages were pretty racy xD. But then you can always check out 4chan, Winterbraid (from Wings of Yuri) and an Anonymous editor had scanlated it already. Anyways I've uploaded the file in mediafire hope they don't mind =D.

You can find Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 from mangaupdates. His art style is not the best but the story and humour kinda makes up for it, making it a pleasant, fluffy and heart-warming!? read haha. Nasty twist in the end, the seme becomes the uke haha.

Random rants;

Hmm what else ... I lost my train of thought, I got a call from my dad just now concerning my mum while I was typing this. Yeah. Oh yes, I hope the mandarin sub of Saki Ep22 comes out tomorrow! Gonna dl it in dez library! And ... I'm having my presentation tomorrow =A=, I hope everything runs smoothly this time, I can't afford another screw up :<

AND, ozmg how can I forget, not sure if you heard about this but ... Kaishaku's new work? Himegami no Miko =O They look amazingly like a certain couple from Kannazuki no Miko or even ... Kyoushiro to Towa no Sora. Then again, you know Kaishaku loves to re-use character styles ... but I don't mind! I WANT IT! xD

Hopefully we hear good news from the site (updates) or something related to it soon =D.

2009-08-24T15:48:00.001+08:00

[Posted @ 4:56 PM]
Well I have yet to watch the full episode *merely scrolled to the C match between Hisa and Mihoko* xD. I'm going to the library to download tomorrow \O/ wait for meeeeeeeee! Anyways, saw the screenies on yamibo and I'm pretty excited well kinda, Hisa finally acknowledged Mihoko's existence!!! For gods' sake, about time :<

*gasp* This feeling ...!
Man, the moment's too short, nothing substantial really happened, too many internal-dialogue going on, need ACTION, yes indeed. I like the blushes though =D, thank you GONZO but you have not satisfy the squealing fangirl in me yet ;D

Click read more for random updates I think.

Random rants;

I was bored and had been playing online mahjong over at tenhou and was playing with TS members during my quarantined break back in Singapore lol. I was randomly playing around a few weeks ago and I got a Rin Shan Kai Ho! LOL.

And oh, speaking of anime, I made myself watched the anime titles I was downloading but not watching as well, CANAAN is awesome *_* somehow I felt like I've mentioned this before ... yeah, in one of my comments I think.

That evil smirk of Alphard's so awesome lol, sent a shiver down my spine~ it's now my display pic in Skype lol. Found something amusing in 4chan;

LoL, the pairs kinda look alike don't they? Jo & Canan are mercenary with silver/white hair, red eyes [When Canaan's in her 'senses' mode], aloof with a past and not to mention their tops. Meg & Maria, well they mostly get captured by the enemy or gets into trouble most of the time and Jo/Canaan have to rescue them or something.

Next, Aoi Hana, hmmm, I'm still watching it, and I still love the OP, the anime's still following the manga tightly and I could relate/understand Aoi Hana a little more. Despite Yasuko's bratty and impatient behaviour towards Fumi and Kyouko, I still like her <3 lol.

Somehow, I'm losing interest for Kanamemo ... I don't know why but I cringe whenever I listen to Yume's voice and I feel like smacking her when she says 'Yuuuu~ki' lol. But Episode 7 was sweet I guess, pretty much confirms everything ;D

Taishou Yakyou Musume iz awesome as well, surprisingly this, this is the anime title I like the most lol, it's interesting, funny and despite having some Y chromosomes characters in the anime, I still like the interaction and support the respective pairings as well xD.

Lastly, Umi Monogatari ~Anata ga Ite Kureta Koto~, I dropped it, sorry, it's too slow paced and boring to me, nice graphics but ... it's just too FREAKING SLOW at the start that I got extremely irritated. Even slower than Aoi Hana.

Well, that sums everything up, I have not abandon blogging yet lol, I'm just well lazy and busy with my studies ... cya then.

So, I prepared the info for this post yesterday cos I was bored. Ever since I came back, I've been doing nothing but eating, sleeping and reading lol. Occasionally doing some exercises ... but note, occasionally ;D.

Anyways, let's check out the Autumn/Winter 2009 Anime list!

Oh before that, let me say something about Summer 2009 Anime list. Hmm I've been watching/downloaded;
1. Aoi Hana
2. CANAAN
3. Kanamemo
4. Taishou Yakyou Musume
5. Umi Monogatari ~Anata ga Ite Kureta Koto~

I've only watched Aoi Hana and Kanamemo though lol, I'm really lazy to sit down and watch the others ugh. Ah, I really like Aoi Hana's OP hehe. It's been a while since I had so many titles to watch cos usually it's just 1 or 2. Including titles from Spring 2009, Saki and Full Metal Alchemist : Brotherhood, I have 7 titles to catch up *_*

Bad news for my limited bandwidth :< at least I don't have to dl FMA. Oh well, I might have to drop titles as this is my last semester, I have to get at least a 7 this sem >:| or else ... I see no future for me any longer. Ughh, I'm going off-topic.

So. What to look out this fall?

1. Sasameki Koto [ささめきこと]

I've been waiting for this!! The official website has been updated with the seiyuu cast names and I can't wait for it xD. The art style looks pretty much similar to the manga, if not prettier lol. Speaking of the manga, C29's out and feels like yet another filter chapter ... :< not like I understood what they were saying but yeah.

2. Mahou Sensei Negima! ~Mou Hitotsu no Sekai~ [魔法先生ネギま！～もうひとつの世界～]

\O/ I'm hyped about Negima again ever since the awesome KonoSetsu Pactio in C252 xD but then there is no development after that except a rather dashing picture of Setsuna in a bodyguard suit in C258 =D.

Oh, take note of the placement of Konoka's hand in the DVD box picture above ;D That big bubble thing needs to go away :< lol

3. Shin Koihime†Musou: Otome Ryouran Sangokushi Engi [真・恋姫†無双～乙女繚乱☆三国志演義～]

=O a Season 2! With a new character, if I'm not wrong, she's Ryuubi or something. Can't wait for more Kannu hair jokes lol.

4. Queen's Blade: Gyokuza no Tsugumono [クイーンズブレイド玉座を継ぐ者]

Double =O lol, my darkest fears have come true! I remembered saying, 'Hopefully there's no Season 2 or something' but ... after watching the finale, obviously there IS gonna be a Season 2, I was like =A=! But the finale ain't that bad, so I'll continue watching this hehe.

5. Kämpfer [けんぷファー]

Kämpfer = Fighter in German, so basically, the protagonist is a guy who magically transforms into a girl and fights with other girls I guess. I'm only up to C5, so I'm particularly interested in only this;

Haha yeah, one of the girls in the manga confessed to the protagonist in female form ;D and she has no idea the protagonist is actually a guy. Anyways, let's see how it goes, besides the art style looks pretty.

6. Seikon no Qwaser [聖痕のクェイサー]

Eh, breasts sucking. Enough said. lol. Art style looks familiar? Yep, it's the same guy that brought us the infamous Mai HiME manga. Well, I'm a sucker for nice art styles so ...

Manga to look out for;

Both Morishima Akiko [森島明子]'s works, Hanjuku Joshi [半熟女子] Volume 2 and the second compilation of her works in Yuri Hime, Ruri Iro no Yume [瑠璃色の夢] 'Azure Dream', the first being Rakuen no Jouken [楽園の条件] will be out on 8/18 \O/. Well, I could order it but ... I won't be able to touch or read it lol. Seems like these will be the tentative covers for the titles I've mentioned above.

Oh, I Fell in Love For the First Time [初めて恋をした] by Asagi Ryu [あさぎ龍] was given a 4 outta 5 stars rating in 百合な日々, reckon it must have some straight hentai going on :< judging from the cover as well -.-||| Anyways, it seems like Lililicious is planning to continue with C2, C3 and probably the side-story in the volume after scanlating C1. So, wait for it \O/

Hmm what else ... oh yeah Octave Volume 3 will be out soon as well \O/ 8/21! TS has just released Chapter 15 and I love the sneak peak of C16 by our editor, kite lol. I had a great laugh and we demanded it be posted on our site ;D and /u/ to spite the ever PMS-ing Anonymous whoever you are.

Credits to 百合な日々 for the information above =D.

Btw, I was browsing around gel/danbooru for SAKI pictures and I stumbled upon this;

OZMG, anyone knows the author of this fanbook!? Better yet, SCANS!? ANYONE!?

Well I picked up a two page sample, from the same author in /u/ and that's all.

That's all for tonight, I'm tired. I foresee an even more tiring week ahead. Good luck to me, LAST SEMESTER DASH! \O/

Oh, happy birthday guro-hime lol.

This afternoon, I packed all my manga in boxes ... :< we're gonna renovate our house soon and since I won't be in Singapore, I had to keep my collection in advance. I don't really like to keep them in boxes ... since the heat and humidity in Singapore will definitely kill my precious manga and turn them yellow :<

I don't want my baby Japanese manga to turn yelllllllllllllow =A=!

Anyways, I sealed my Candy Boy DVDs in plastic =D, so they're safe ... I paid a limb for those =[ Hmmm, the last few days I have been wallowing at home doing nothing =D and I love it heh.

Oh, I've been playing L4D as well xD if you play it, COME PLAY WITH ME hahaha. I'm not the best player, I shoot my own allies all the time and sometimes 'stares' at allies while their nipples are being ripped out by hunters =P just because I like it but I can promise you, it'll be FUN!

Here are some screenshots I screenied when I last played with TS members back in January lol.

Of course, everyone loves using cheats =D

Sometimes we see lags and bugs lol.

It's a pity I can't use my laptop to play L4D :< because it becomes Lag 4 Dead, my graphic card sucksssssssssssssssss. So I can only play when I'm in Singapore, using my desktop ... less than 10 days left =A= I don't wanna go back.

A few days ago or more, I don't remember lol, roro posted some links to songs by vocaloids but I was distracted by my cousins to listen to the songs properly. Last night I was bored so I went back to listen to the songs =O and I liked this particular song a lot because it has ... YURI LOL.

There are a lot of props in this concert and YanZi looks really relaxed and open in the performance, making cute gestures and jokes along the way xD. I really like how she went '哈？你们还不要走啊？' [Har? You guys are still here?']

Thanks to the YanziUnlimited Fanclub, they got my ticket signed =D.

[ONA] Candy☆Boy Ep8 aka EX02

2009-07-10T18:27:00.000+08:00

[Posted @ 6:15 PM]
\O/ I'm back in Singapore and guess what, Candy☆Boy Ep8 aka EX02 is outtttt!

Summary Updated In Post @ 10th July 2009;

O_O! *nose bleeds* Tissue... TISSUE!!!

Man, I'm so glad I got the DVDs lol, it looks like a mind-less fluffy episode =D

Sorry for the wait, kinda sick the last few days ... I NEED TO RECOVER BEFORE TOMORROW *RAGES*

Going back to the topic, if you've seen the raw, you should know EX02 is a swimsuit episode \O/ The girls were in the indoor swimming pool while it's snowing outside. While Kanade's sipping whatever she's drinking, Sakuya's taking photos of her with Yukino as her assistant. When Kanade asked what they're doing, Yukino replied that they were going to use the photos and print it on bolsters and use it as 'hug pillows' lol. As usual, Kanade got pissed, grabbed the memory card out from the camera and pinched Yukino's cheek lol. While Yukino's flapping around in pain, Sakuya's whining that she won't put the photos on any weird places lol. Kanade was like what weird places!?

Meanwhile, Shii-chan appeared compete with a banana float she's carrying =D. Just then, Sakuya stopped her whining and noticed that Shii-chan's wearing Kanade's old school swimsuit. Sakuya was like, *takes photo*, *takes out laptop*, *turns on photoshop application* and ta-da! A photoshopped Kanade head on Shii-chan's school swimsuit body lol. Shii-chan commented that Sakuya seemed quite skilled in this and Sakuya didn't even deny it xD even adding that it's because she practiced everyday haha. Unable to take Sakuya's eccentric ways, they did something to her to make her sleep and tied her up with towels lol.

While Shii-chan relaxing on her banana float, the twins fell into a casual chat with Yukino saying that the happiest moment was that she got to see Kanade in a swimsuit. Kanade agreed that because a lot of stuff had happened last year, even though they bought a lot of swimsuits they never got the chance to wear them. Yukino pointed out it's unfair that Kanade seen at her clad in a swimsuit far too often than she does. Kanade turned away and pretended to wonder what Yukino's talking about. Yukino pouted and continued that she clearly saw Kanade visiting the school swimming pool in 4 days of last week even though she had forbid her to do so.

Kanade tried to worm her way out of this by making a feeble excuse about finding a perfect spot for her sketch but when Yukino said her name 'sweetly', she knew she's in trouble and promptly apologized. Yukino chastised Kanade for sneaking peeks at her and that it's embarrassing. Yukino ordered that Kanade's not to come to the swimming pool unless she's there to fetch her.

Kanade: 'If Yuki-chan dislikes it, then I'll follow her orders but occasionally, is it okay if I go see you?'
Yukino: 'Kana-chan ...'
Yukino: 'If so, you must make a proper greeting and that will be allowed.'
Kanade: 'Un, I'll make sure not to disturb you much while I make a proper greeting.'

*Aww~*

After that, Yukino recalled a memory from their childhood that Kanade almost drowned while she's swimming in the mini pool. Kanade added that she remembered that even though the pool's shallow, she still had a cramped leg. Yukino continued that the day before, she saw this program on TV about first aid or something and the program had something about treating a drowned person with CPR.

Kanade: 'W-wait a moment, Yuki-chan?'
Yukino: 'Want to know how I did it, Kana-chan?'
Kanade: 'Hmmm ... Un.'
Yukino: 'Ehehe.'
Yukino: 'It's a secret~.'
Kanade: 'Mou~ You're such a tease, Yuki-chan!'

-Insert ED-

The ever amazing Sakuya managed to untangle herself from the towel wraps and eyed at the drink Kanade had left on the table. While giggling manically to herself, Shii-chan grabbed the glass and emptied it lol. Meanwhile, Kanade called and told Sakuya that she had deleted the photos in the memory card and warned Sakuya not to do anything weird again. Yukino was whining about the loss of a Kana-chan hug pillow lol. Sakuya wallowed in her strings of failz in this outing. Still sipping on the straw of Kanade's drink [I wonder if she's trying to suck the flavour out or something xD], Shii-chan took pity on Sakuya and offered to send the photo data on her camera to her.

Do I sense the start of a beautiful friendship here? xD That's all for Candy☆Boy, thank you for accompanying me through this awesome twincest series =D.

Random rants;

My Seagate of 3 years died on me ;_; I was being whiny on Skype and all lol but today I managed to pull all of my anime folders out along with my Stefanie Sun clips I've dutifully collected for 9 years =D out.

Oh how did I revived my 'dead hdd'? I froze it. Yes, I sealed the HDD in a plastic bag, placed it in the freezer and waited for 2-3 hours. At first, it wasn't working well and I was getting really pissed. So I left it to 'dry' [After several attempts to get it to work] and then I put it in the freezer for 2 hours and it worked! [I even dreamed that I was clicking and dragging my files out lol] Well it worked for a mere 10 minutes before it died again. So I let it out to dry again [Condensation] and then shoved it in the freezer for another 3-4 hours. It was then that I managed to copy all my anime folders out [I saved my Stefanie Sun clips first lol], half of my movie folders, manga and live-action drama clips. I think it lasted around 2 hours [The HDD was getting hot as well, it clicked loudly a few times in between] before the light went out. It was good though =D A whooping 300GB+ worth of data out lol.

Anyways, got me a new HDD, 1TB this time muahahaha and it's only S$159~~~ This will last me for a few more years.

Moral of the story? BACK UP YOUR GOD DAMN FILES lol.

Saki -咲- Ep12 - WTF was that?

[Posted @ 1:30 AM]
Hmm, I can't wait for my last paper to be over, I'm already tired of studying :< lol ahhhh this feels like deja vu. Man, anyways I couldn't help myself and went to download the subs of another mandarin subber xD I'll just download my usual when I get back. The start of Episode 12 was awesome *_* I love it. However ...

It would had been the perfect eye catch in this post :<

Hahahaha, man it looks so weird. Other than that, I have no complains about this episode I guess ... there are sure to have ups and downs in the quality in the animation, but this lol, is just so obvious that I went 'WTF was that!?!?!?!' twice [Yeah, I rewinded].

Oh well, I'm betting GONZO will cook up a meeting between Hisa and Mihoko in filler episodes or something and then Mihoko will finally get her chance to ask about Hisa's blue sapphires and red rubies praise/comment =D. Hopefully that scene will be filled with flirty words and blushes, kyaaa can't wait ahaha. For now, ON TO MAHJONG PLUZ and my studies =D.

Because I'm sick of studying. *stares at Consumer Behaviour Notes* So, I watched Saki Ep11 \O/ I love this part and I like this particular dialogue I got from the Saki Ep11 thread in yamibo lol.

Captain (Mihoko): You heartless jerk, why did you leave our home, abandoning me and our kids!?
Buchou (Hisa): ..........
In the Next Episode of Saki ... (Cue Dramatic BGM): The Three Year Itch
Edit: Oh wait I got another one.

Captain (Mihoko): You heartless jerk, how dare you leave me after you knocked me up!?
Buchou (Hisa): You do know I'm a girl right?
In the Next Episode of Saki ... (Cue Dramatic BGM): Buchou With A Mystical Third Leg!?
Or something like that LOL. Anyone else with better dialogues for that particular scene while we await Ep12?

Okay, back to studying lol. *chuckles*

Well, it's not friday, I forgot what I was doing yesterday ... oh right, I was studying. Oh. Anyways.

Behold. The awesomeness of Fukuji Mihoko.

Spoilers from the manga will come later, so if you don't want to spoil yourself, don't read them? xD I'll give a warning before going into bits and pieces about it.

Animes;

1. K-ON! [けいおん！]

So, the last episode is next week eh? Well wiki says there's an episode 13 but *shrugs*. Based on the preview for Episode 12, an episode outta wrap everything up. It's been a fun anime, I still wanna get an electric guitar though the urge to get it now is not as great as I was watching Ep1 and Ep2 lol. *has a feeling I will forget about it* eheh.

Anyways, lol see how it goes. xD

2. Queen's Blade - Rurou no Senshi [クイーンズブレイド流浪の戦士]

Similarly to K-ON!, Queen's Blade is ending next week as well ... lol Episode 9 has scarred me for life. At the moment of mother and son heart warming scene, I was lol-ing so hard that I almost felt outta my chair and choke to death hahahaha. Man. I don't even know why I downloaded it, I thought ... ugh, I don't know what I thought. I'm glad QB has ended, I don't think I wanna watch a Second Season =S

3. Saki [咲-Saki-]

Oh yeah, I'm loving this series even though I know nuts about mahjong except a few phrases of 'PON!' 'CHI!' 'RON!' and well yeah. Reminds me of my younger days when my aunt had this mahjong game on the computer and I was fooling around with it a few times. I had no idea how to win but hell I do know how to keep the 'nice' tiles and 'PON!' after a while lol. I still remembered my aunt told me that the 'people' in the computer will chase after me for money if I lost :< I was so scared, meanie.

Oh yes, back to the latest episode, Ep10, oh wait, let's talk about Ep9 first lol, I love that episode, it's so awesome because Fukuji Mihoko totally rocks! She's so freaking hot xD. She reminds me of Fujino Shizuru ... ahh Shizuru-sama~ *squeals* I love how she smiles after doing those 'RON!' and 'ZI MO!' phrases, *_* She totally owned the first round between the four schools. I hate how Kazekoshi got bullied later on :< oh, okay -stop- I'll leave it for later.

This doesn't hurt as well =D.

Doujinshi;
- A bunch of RAKU-GUN Marimite doujinshis.

Manga;
1. [Wings of Yuri] Gokujou Drops - Chapter 10 & 11 \O/

Others;
1. K-ON! - OST
2. Phantom Requiem for the Phantom - ED
3. Minori Chihara - Tomorrow's Chance

Okay, this coming episode 11 will be the third round between Kazekoshi's Bundou Seika [1st year], Kiyosumi's Takei Hisa [3rd year], Ryumonbuchi's Kunihiro Hajime [2nd year] and Tsuruga's Kanbara Satomi [3rd year]. LoL, this is the chapter where I start to have Hisa x Mihoko vibes xD.

*Throws in a few Hisa x Mihoko fan arts to seal the deal*

It's so cute to see Mihoko going 'Ozmg, isn't that Ueno-san!? The only person that had ~~my panties all twisted and dripping wet-~~' uh, sorry. was reading shiznat smut lol. Anyways, apparently Mihoko knew Hisa from before and thought she moved or something when she dropped halfway in the middle school competition 3 years ago. Now Hisa's back in the game with a different surname and Mihoko's very worried for Seika who's about to play with her.

By the end of the third round, Seika pretty much lost the points Mihoko chalked up in the first round. By then, I'm starting to worry for Kazekoshi =( Kiyosumi [Nodoka and Saki], Ryumonbuchi [Touka and Koromo] and even Tsuruga [Momoko and Yumi] have awesome line ups at the 4th and 5th player. Tsuruga is quite lucky, the players were pretty much left alone in the first three rounds. It's quite sad to see the first three matches summed up in a volume and a half, need more screen time for Mihoko :< lol. Anyways the whole of Volume 4's about Nodoka's match with Kazekoshi's Sumiyo, Ryumonbuchi's Touka and Tsuruga's Momoko. By then, Kazekoshi dropped to the last position, Ryumonbuchi at third place, Tsuruga at second and of course Kiyosumi at first place =D. Oh yes, Invisible Momoko is an interesting character xD, well basically she's 'invisible' kinda and has not much presence so she could jump in and steal the points away while Nodoka and Touko compete with each other.

I like how Tsuruga slowly make its way on top stealing the crumbs left by the Three Giants who were too busy going head to head with each other. I guess Tsuruga can be called the Dark Horse in the competition xD. As for Kazekoshi, well, the Fallen Giant I guess haha, I still feel sad for them :< a sad neko-Kana makes me unhappy. Well the last round, 大將 [Chapter 34-50 and still going] Amae Koromo makes her appearance and with the electrifying sparks coming out from her eyes scaring Saki to bits lol. Saki was reminded of her sister's presence and thought there's no way in hell she's going to win, that was until Nodoka came and motivated Saki with her ... ~~huge. boobs.~~ uh reminding her about their promise to proceed to the nationals.

Oh yeah, it's interesting about the visual of 'drowning' the players in raising level of water as Koromo chalked up points and winning game after game. By Chapter 42, Kazekoshi's Ikeda Kana lost all her points, yes you heard right from the 142,000 down to 0 lol. Both Koromo and Tsuruga's Kajiki Yomi were 'attacking' Kana and Kana was very depressed and almost got eliminated. [I almost cried =(] Saki helped Kana by sacrificing some of her points to her \O/ and rejuvenating Kana's fighting spirit. Oh by the way, Yomi's seiyuu is Kobayashi Yuu [Setsuna from Negima] lol, I was like, OZMG!!!! SECCHAN hahaa.

Oh, I like Momoko x Yumi as well lol. Hasty edits from the manga.

Hmm okay where was I ... ah yes seems like the Kiyosumi players have weird habits while playing mahjong lol, Yuki gets her power from tacos, Mako with her super memory by taking off her glasses, Nodoka and her penguin resting under her boobs *cough*, I don't think Hisa has any bad habits ... besides making Mihoko cry I guess hehe. Saki took off her socks =O, apparently she plays better barefoot as it reminded her when she was younger and that she played best barefooted. With new found confidence, Saki started winning the games chalking up small wins with very little points lol, pissing off Kana and the rest who were waiting for huge wins. Little did they know, Saki's merely warming up to a huge win at the end and well caught the eye of Koromo who started striking back in the latest chapter, Chapter 50 again.

Man, that was interesting lol, I was reading it in the library and kept reading chapter after chapter forgetting to revise for my module =O. Anyways, I'm tired and I've yet to bath =P.

@Saying it’s your mission, duty and all.@

Konoka: If I am not by Secchan’s side, then there is no reason for me to continue living anywhere anymore.

[I …]

/Page 18

Konoka: If you make me attend the Omiai, I will not attain happiness, you know~

Setsuna: Eh!?

Konoka: Well then, what are you going to do?

Setsuna: No matter what …

Setsuna: It’s definitely not my intention to cause Ojou-sama any sadness.

[At that moment, I understood. The reason of my existence …]

Konoka: Un, you mentioned that before.

Setsuna: But … my duties are to wait upon and protect Ojou-sama …
### … Um … I …

[The reason of my existence is because of this person.]

Setsuna: … …

/Page 19

Setsuna: --- I’m sorry …

[I …]

Setsuna: Me … me too …

Setsuna: If I am not by Kono-chan’s side, I won’t be able to continue living … …

[It was only when I am by this person’s side,]

[Am I able to breathe.]

/Page 20

Konoka: You are not supposed to apologize when you say that …!

Setsuna: ---

Konoka: … … Any more reasons for you to run away?

Konoka: --- More …

Setsuna: Eh?

Konoka: Let’s do more, shall we?

[My thoughts stopped.]

[Even the simple act of breathing …]

[Feels like I’m going to forget about it.]

/Page 23

[However, the amazing thing was that,]

[I don’t feel like I’m suffering at all.]

Konoka: Oh---

Konoka: That was beautifully concealed---
@Such a big thing too.@ (akayuki: Oh my, my thoughts raced lol)

Setsuna: Um … can you please don’t stare at me like that …?

-Rustle

Konoka: Eh--- Why---?

Setsuna: @To stare like that …@

Setsuna: … What should we do …? From now on …

Konoka: Un--- you are right.
### We can’t run away just like that as well.

/Page 24

Konoka: For now, we better go apologize to Oji-chan first.

Setsuna: Ah, me too, I’ll accompany you.

Konoka: @Hmm~ Secchan, before that, you have to conceal that blushing expression of yours.@

Setsuna: @S-sorry.@

Konoka: @You’re cute anyways, so it’s alright~@

Setsuna: @… …@

Konoka: Ne.

Konoka: Let’s go together.

-END-

/Page 25

*After that, let us listen to their grumbles.*

Kokoemon: Konoka ran away---
### Such a troublesome granddaughter---
### Setsuna didn’t return as well.

-Sob

Negi: I- … Is that so?
### I see.
### That is troublesome indeed---

Kamo: What are you doing, Aniki? {Big brother}
### Even the old man too …

/Page 26

*This is the postscript.
I supposed Konoka went to her Omiai after all…?
I have been thinking about it while I was drawing …
This time I tried giving up the usual cute drawing ways and tried my best in adding some ‘erotic’ scenes in the appropriate settings. That was a failure … It was after all a futile attempt.
In any ways, what has it turned out to be … I’m really sorry.

I’m tired.

Ah, I hope Konoka’s Kyoto-ben doesn’t sound weird here.
I was afraid that it will turn out to become Kansai-ben or something.

I was really sleepy … Perhaps I haven’t been sleeping for 2 to 3 days …
Thus I was afraid that I might misspell or miswrote some words.

Well then, thank you very much for reading with me until the end.
Until we meet again, Gokigenyou.

I'm So Fucking Pissed

2009-06-03T00:01:00.002+08:00

[Posted @ 12:23 AM]
There's this boiling anger in me that refuses to cool down even after an hour, so I've decided to blog about this crap. Hopefully by the end of this post, my anger will simmer down.

I don't know, I just felt pissed that Chuang Yi [An English & Mandarin Manga Publisher in Singapore] changed the quality of their paper just fucking like that. Come to think of it, I think they changed their paper for My Fair Lady and Fushigi Yuugi - Genbu Kaiden as well and perhaps some other titles I can't remember since I'm not NAO fucking home to check every single fucking book my family bought for the past year.

I did felt a book was considerable lighter than I was used to but didn't think much of it because I was happy to read manga [The physical thing] again after ... what, a year? Perhaps that time, the paper were still in the 'reasonable' stage and to the hell of it, I just didn't notice. Perhaps I was distracted with the family problem thingy. I'm angry at myself for not noticing but then, even if I did, what can I do?

But this. Doing this to my Vampire Knight manga. This takes the cake/pie whatever.

It doesn't take a bloody rocket scientist to see which is the better quality one.

Yes, the anger in me is still boiling, so I'm continuing this rant.

Sadly, even the Ran x Julia 'bookmark' doesn't satisfy the raging tiger in me. Btw this is Volume 7.

Apparently, Volume 7 was printed using, I quote, "Environmentally friendly wood-free paper, ensuring durable and quality prints for a pleasant reading experience." And yes, indeed, I can see and touch the 'quality' and 'durability' of it. It's smooth to touch, not scratchy, it doesn't smell and it doesn't look yellow-ish. This volume cost SGD $8.50 and was released on 05 Aug 2008 according to the website.

Here's Volume 8. Squint your eyes, you can see through the 'awesome' yellow-ish quality paper right there. Aww, isn't it a pretty sight?

Now, Volume 8, as you can see, the 'tag line' was conveniently gone from the page, does this mean this was not printed on durable and quality paper hm? The least I can do is to give credit to CY for not lying. Thank you for not lying, you do have some moral. Anyways, this volume cost SGD $8.50 as well and was released on 06 Jan 2009 [The height of the impact of Global Financial Crisis (GFC)]. Oh, that explains everything then hm?

According to their forum, a forum-er has pointed out the 'quality' of the paper as well so we got this reply;

"Due to some recent issues we’ve had regarding the supply of paper, we’ve had to relook into alternative sources of paper that is of comparative quality to the overseas products in the market and while keeping our prices of manga available at competitive prices. We are still keeping tabs on the feedback from our customers to decide how to fine tune our future course of action to try and find some kind of balance, so we do appreciate your input very much.

We hope you’ll continue to support us, and thank you for your feedback.

For future feedback and other queries, we would appreciate that you direct them to our email address : feedback@chuangyi.com.sg

Regards,
Team CY"

Yes, you better be keeping tabs on the feedbacks, cos I'm sure not a fucking happy camper right now. I don't even fucking mind if you increase the price to SGD $8.90 like the new titles or even $9.50, JUST GIVE ME MY QUALITY AND DURABLE VAMPIRE KNIGHT MANGA PLEASE.

Which do you prefer, the top or the bottom?

If I could let you touch the paper, I bet you will bloody throw the book on the ground (despite how you love the series) and stomp it.

I hope you [CY] very well re-print Volume 8 and any other titles that were printed in the infamous 'Kinda Mandarin Quality' paper on quality and durable paper cos I'm not going to fucking buy any lousy quality paper manga from you any fucking more. I don't pay a premium price to get this crap. I just checked with my family via MSN and I asked them to stop buying as I will personally check every single book in the store before purchasing it when I get back.

Lookie here, I'm even willing to pay to buy a re-print volume. I'm not even thinking of boycotting, cos well I have no choice -_- [Affordable and quality prices] and I'm happy. But this one, is going out of hand and I have to voice out my opinion on this. Man, this completely spoils my mood that I can't even read Volume 8 properly. I tried to read but whenever I held and touched that light and scratchy piece of junk, I just get so pissed.

Well anyways, I sent an email to CY, I don't expect any flowery explanations and crap, I want action. I want something to be done. I sure don't hope something as screwed up as this happens again.

Phew. Okay, I do feel a little better.

[ONA] Candy☆Boy Ep7

2009-05-09T21:59:00.002+08:00

[Posted @ 9:22 PM]

And this made the 13600 yen worth it. \O/

Awesome, after a long wait, Ep7 is out! 20 minutes to boot! Well the first 15 minutes are kinda filters =x anyways;

Before recapturing from Episode 6, there was this imaginary scene [probably] of Kanade waiting for Yukino while she's at her part-time job and as Kanade waited, she felt all sad and lonely. There was even this flashback of them promising to be together from that first ever episode with their touching their foreheads together scene. Now recapturing from Episode 6, Yukino had offered to work part-time to get some extra money so that Kanade can go to preparatory school/lab/cram school. Yukino started rambling about how and what to go about with the part-time job and basically pointed out that Kanade really needs to attend the lab. Pissed, Kanade kinda lashed out at Yukino's ever-present concern for her and that she hates herself when she sees Yukino acting like that. Somehow, Kanade felt like she's a spoilt brat, like that time when she said that she wanted to go to a school in Tokyo [The school they're attending now] and Yukino had insisted that she wanted to go with Kanade too.

After that, Kanade admitted that the 'money problem' was just an excuse because with her going to lab and Yukino with her part-time job, there would be hardly any time for them to be together and she didn't want that to happen. Like a big sister, Yukino consoled Kanade and assured her that this 'parting' would only be temporary and besides if this ensured them to be together in the future, this would be the best. Kanade mumbled that she understood the situation but ... she wanted them to be together, now and also the future. Yukino, the ever practical one? added that she wanted it to be that way too but ... in reality, one can't get both sides of the cake. Kanade calmed down after that and apologized to Yukino for lashing out at her. Yukino smiled and said that she's sorry too for being too sudden/pushy and told Kanade to think about her suggestion.

The next day, the twins were waiting for their train at the station and Sakuya managed to revive after the previous episode and was now plastered against Kanade. Sakuya was like 'I won't let something like that make me give up!' Kanade mumbled, 'It's better to give up...' Sakuya continued that she found out that they could change rooms each year and told the twins to see her next year. However, Yukino pointed out that, they're in their third and last year ... so there won't be a next year LOL. When Sakuya realized that fact, Kanade add, 'And that's how it is.' Sakuya went into protesting/whining mood 'I don't want that! I don't want that!' and even asked Kanade to please repeat a grade lol. Kanade was like, 'That will not happen.' Sakuya continued to beg Kanade at least attend the local university and that way she could continue living in the dorm. Kanade went 'Why must I do that?' -.-

While the twins were at their respective club activities, Kanade got a mail from Yukino saying that a kouhai's [junior] introducing a part-time job to her and probably might be late. Kanade called Yukino to ask about it and Yukino replied that it's better if she does some part-time to get some money for future usage. Yukino continued that she's not 'forcing' Kanade to go to lab just because she's holding a part-time job and that the decision to go or not lies with Kanade. Yukino had to interrupt what Kanade was about to say after that because the train's arriving and for them to talk later. At a senpai's [senior] graduation [I think] and the senpai suggested Kanade it will be better to attend lab as well for better future opportunities.

Yukino came back from her part-time job with some left-over pastries and asked if Kanade wants some? Kanade replied that she doesn't feel like eating and told Yukino to keep them in the fridge. Yukino teased Kanade by mentioning that well then, she'll have the banana custard one and Kanade immediately changed her mind, saying that she'll have one, that banana flavoured one lol. As the twins were going home together, Kanade commented that it's been a while since they had this feeling of going home together and it had only been a few days. Yukino promptly apologized but Kanade said that it's not Yukino's fault but her fault. Both of them then apologized to each other. As they reached the dormitory, Shizuku [Shii-chan~~] was there to welcome them back lol. Kanade was like, 'I'm back~' and then ... '!?' 'Why are you here!?' Shii-chan replied that since the twins were not coming back for the holidays so she figured that she come over for a visit. When Kanade asked Shii-chan about her school, Shii-chan answered that she has an additional week because the school's renovating the gym hall or something.

Kanade continued to question about the transportation costs, Shii-chan sarcastically replied that she's been saving for it, unlike certain sisters in which the twins looked away guiltily. When asked about the accommodation, Shii-chan added that she's going to stay with her sisters in the dorm. Kanade was like, but it won't do to suddenly come over and stay for the week ... however the dorm manager agreed to let her stay anyways. Meanwhile Kanade stared at the paper of approval with a -_- expression lol and Shii-chan was like 'What's with that why are you here expression?' Kanade answered that she's happy that Shii-chan came over but it's better and safer if Shii-chan took them about her trip down as it's dangerous for a young girl to travel alone and they would had fetched her from the airport. In any ways, Kanade smiled and thanked Shii-chan for coming over. Blushing [probably at Kanade's mega-watt smile], Shii-chan apologized to Kanade.

When it's time for bed, Kanade was sweat-dropping at Shii-chan who was hanging upside down lol with a kinda scary expression. Shii-chan mused that her elder sisters look cosy together. Kanade added it's kinda cramp if three persons sleep together on the bed ... Shii-chan cut in saying, 'How nice, how nice, being lovey-dovey like that~' At that, Kanade suggested that she'll sleep on the top then but of course Yukino protested.

Yukino: 'Huhh, Kana-chan's leaving me??~~
Kanade: 'Ehh!? But, Shii-chan ...'
Yukino: 'Ehhh~ How about me~? How about me~?'
Shizuku: 'Don't you bully Yuki-neechan, Kana-neechan.'
Kanade: 'Eh!? What was that? What is it my fault now?'
Yukino: 'You know, it's coldddd~'
Kanade: 'Don't you feel strange about this?'
Shizuku: 'Well then, good night.'
Kanade: 'Wait, what was that?'
Yukino: 'You're leaving me to sleep with Shii-chan, aren't you Kana-chan!?'
Kanade: 'You know, after listening to this, don't you think that you should know the situation now?'
Yukino: 'Whatever, whatever, whatever already! I'll sleep by myself then! HUMPH!'
Kanade: 'Oh man, tell me what I should do now?'

The next day, Shii-chan's sandwiched between her elder sisters at the train station, Kanade told Shii-chan that she could only accompany them half-way through their journey and reminded Shii-chan to go back to the dorm after that and that it's dangerous to hang around outside. Shii-chan replied that she got it already and that Kanade's as bossy as their mother lol. Kanade pouted and mumbled that she was just worried about Shii-chan. Yukino added that it's Saturday so Kanade's returning to the dorm early. When Shii-chan asked about Yukino, Yukino replied that she'll be late because of her part-time job and when asked why, she added that it's something for the future or something?

However, Shii-chan doesn't seem to buy it. At the dorm, Shii-chan noticed Kanade's cram school form and went 'Ahhh.' Back to school, Kanade gave a token of appreciation to Sakuya who was tearing lol as she hugged the gift. As Kanade was about to leave, Sakuya told Kanade to make up with Yukino soon and Kanade was like 'How did you know!?' Sakuya just smiled and said that that's because she likes the usual Kana-senpai. Kanade returned to the dorm, only to be greeted with a 'Ah, the baka Nee-chan's back' by Shii-chan. Shii-chan took out the cram school form and stated that that's the real reason that Yukino's taking up a part-time job isn't it? It's strange for Yukino to hold a part-time job after all. Shii-chan started lecturing Kanade and compared to Shii-chan, the lost of time between the twins were better off than hers. Shii-chan added that Kanade should think about Yukino's point of view and that if she fails to get into the art school, is Kanade going to ask Yukino for help again? Kanade does realized that she had been selfish and dependent on Yukino and apologized to Shii-chan. Shii-chan was like, 'You're apologizing to the wrong person! You're seriously a baka nee-chan!' Like a scolded puppy, Kanade went 'I'm sowee.' lol.

Later, Yukino got off from part-time work and was surprised to see Kanade waiting for her. The twins picked a seclude [=O] spot and Kanade told Yukino that she had been encouraged by Sakuya and then scolded by Shii-chan today lol. Kanade told Yukino that she's been been wilful and dependent towards Yukino and never placed herself in Yukino's shoes. Kanade continued that regarding the lab, she has decided to sign up for periodic classes and that she's not going to be half-hearted about this and will try her best to be with Yukino. Kanade added that the lab won't be her everything and she was thinking of asking Yukino to make decisions with her and try their best together. Kanade then apologized to Yukino for giving her troubles. Yukino smiled and said that from now on, they're going to be together, ne? Kanade agreed and added, yeah forever.

The twins then ate the pastries Yukino got from her part-time job;

Kanade: 'Ah Yuki-chan, there're some crumbs on the corner of your mouth.'

Yukino: 'Hmmmmm~.'
Kanade: 'What are you doing, Yuki-chan!?'
Yukino: 'Kana-chan, help me get it off.'

Kanade: 'Ah-mm.'
Yukino: 'Mm!?'

Yukino: 'Kana-chan... just now...'

Kanade: 'Hm? What?'

Yukino: 'Mou~~! Kana-chan no baka!'
Kanade: 'Ehh? But you told me to get it off, Yuki-chan.'
Yukino: 'That's true but not that way!'
Yukino: 'Mou~~! You seriously don't understand anything do you, Kana-chan!'
Yukino: 'Uueehh?'

-akayuki burst into flames and lies in a pool of blood-

After that, the twins were in their new dorm and bed and Yukino was whining that their bed this time was smaller. Kanade was like 'Huh, as long as I'm sleeping with Yuki-chan, I don't really care.' The girls went on talking about mindless things until Yukino told Kanade that as expected she likes Kanade~ Kanade was like, you're such a meanie, Yuki-chan, surely. Kanade went on mumbling before going 'I like Yuki-chan most or something like that, so good night already!' Yukino giggled and agreed.

As for Sakuya, like the stalker she was, she camped outside the twins' room with the rest of the occupants at the hallway staring with sweat-drops on their heads lol. Sakuya couldn't stop herself from pressing the doorbell and disrupting the twins' peaceful time lol. The episode ended with Kanade going, 'You know...'

Rants;
OH MY! I didn't expect that ... kiss is it even considered as one!? Judging from Yukino's blushes, I'll say that kiss is plausible! LOL. *imagines Kanade going 'OMPH' over Yukino's lips* SOMEONE SHOULD DO A FANART OF A CLOSE-UP!!!!

Oh yes, there's an episode 8 in the volume 2 DVD ... I can't wait for it!? xDD *feeling rather giddy over the sugar rush and loss of blood*

So maybe, Episode 7 is not the finale after all huh, *got a feeling that it will be a cliff-hanger* ... Oh I was too engrossed on the Episode 8 that I missed this '「サイン入り奏抱き枕カバー」プレゼント応募券' ......... Wait a moment. Is this what I think it is!? A Kanade Hug Pillow!? Somehow I think it's a ticket or voucher to win an autographed Kanade Hug Pillow ... or something.

Man 24 June ... 52 days moar!

The Answer Is ... Stefanie Sun's World Tour Concert 2009

2009-04-14T17:35:00.002+08:00

[Posted @ 6:02 PM]
OZMG! OMFG! *Squeals like a mad fangirl for about 30 minutes*

I've already purchased a ticket (S$168 Seat) through yanziunlimited ... so glad I managed to slot my way in lol. I think the official ticket release is on April 16th, so book your tickets through Sistic Singapore on that day xD.

Oh yeah I have some random rants about the animes I've been watching for the past ... 2 weeks at the bottom of the post =). Please share your comments about it as well xD.

I was just browsing through the forum last night and I was like 'OZMG! CONCERT!' *clicks thread* 'OZMG! Deadline is on 13th April!' I stared at the clock and its around 1.50 AM, Tuesday [Brisbane Time] so it's still 11.50 PM, Monday [Singapore Time], I was like ... =A=!!!! *yelling/screaming/shrieking at Skype VC* Thinking back, it's so funny lol.

Anyways, the first stop for Stefanie Sun's concert is at Taiwan as usual, the best seats selling for NT4800 each =O which is a whooping $214 in Singapore Dollars =A=! Wow. Speaking of Wow lol, I'm so freaking lucky! I thought I was going to miss it lol, but I will still be in Singapore on 11th of July~~~ HAHA Heaven got EYES! HEAVEN IS ON MY SIDE!!! *Chuckles devilishly* Hmm, school starts on 26th July, probably drag it till like 25th before going home or something lol.

Oh man, xD happy happy mood tonight and days to come as I count down to the day of the concert. This will my additional motivation to OWN this semester!

Woots!

Random anime rants;
Oh, hmm I've watched Queen's Blade... lol yeah and has continued to watch Episode 2 as well ... uh no comments lol. *whispers boobies milk nuking* muahahaha.

Oh, I've watched K-ON! too, AND YOU SHOULD TOO! >:| Currently hooked on the ED, 'Don't Say Lazy' xD 'please don't say you're lazy, datte honto wa crazy~' Love it. Episode 1 made me wanna watch Episode 2 but ... somehow halfway through Episode 2, I was experiencing this flashback of watching the anime Hyakko again =A= ... I felt the story was becoming draggy and *gulp* boring =O but the last part saved the Episode :< It was a close shave.

Ah, also Episode 1 made me wanna go learn the Electric Guitar LOL, I've been thinking of learning to play a guitar since I was uh 16 I think [After my O Level back then]. But I was just plain lazy, got into poly and forgot all about it till now lol. Hmm, must remember to purchase an electric guitar when I get back \O/

Next up, SAKI! Amazingly, despite GONZO's attempts to butcher the anime with Magical Nanoha-like scenes in the OP, I enjoyed Episode 1 and 2 a lot. The Nodoka-Angel reference in Episode 2 was ... tolerable as well lol, somehow it kinda highlights Saki's impression of Nodoka. Hm so yes, I remembered the scene where Nodoka 'slams' her body [andboobs] on her bed in Episode 2 as well =A= I think I cringed. I was like '... Doesn't it hurt!? =A=!!!!' *whispers* I think her boobs are made up of silicon =OO LOL =x.

Hmm, what else ... ah yes, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood~ Episode 1 was a total blast! I enjoyed the OP a lot [It freaking made me cry lol] and the ED was cute. The animation is awesome, hmm interesting how this remake of FMA took no crap from the manga and first anime lol and created its own Episode 1, it's pretty awesome I should say. I've yet to watch Episode 2 yet ... it's in my folder now \O/

Gotta go for dinner, hungry xD.

IchigoYuri TGIF Updates 13

2009-03-20T20:00:00.002+08:00

[Posted @ 6:57 PM]
Hmm, nothing unusual happened in my life recently, just trying to study, catching up with family (We can always find something to talk about), thinking of what to eat/prepare for lunch every single day, lazing around on my bed, going out for grocery shopping and chatting/voice-chatting with TS members on skype. Yep, nothing unusual.

Huh, I should had made this post on March 13th lol *points @ IchigoYuri TGIF Updates 13' ...*gasp* Friday the 13th =O.

Oh well, I'm being totally random. Been looking up for yuri anime titles to watch this season ... Maria-sama ga Miteru Season 4 is ending soon. TAT Touko-chan~~~~ *Hugs* I'm so looking forward to Ep12 ... and Ep13 [END], hopefully it'll be wonderful conclusion xD.

Of course, I've placed the Box Sets of Marimite Season 2 and Season 3 in my shopping cart already xD, just waiting for a few mangas to come by in May. By then I'll be back in Singapore, ready to watch them all. I've yet to open the Season 1 DVD set yet lol, going on a Marimite marathon when I get back. *Shrugs* It's only for a month ... so I doubt I can do much ... hmmm.

Here's the list of anime titles probably with some yuri undertones I'm looking out for this season;

1. Queen's Blade - Rurou no Senshi [クイーンズブレイド流浪の戦士]

2. Saki [咲-Saki-]

Regarding, Sasameki Koto and Aoi Hana, I'm sure you guys knew about it by now that both titles just got the green light for an animation production \O/, there's no official site for Sasameki Koto animation yet.

3. Sasameki Koto [ささめきこと]

4. Aoi Hana [青い花]

Hmm, let's start with 'Queen's Blade' ozmg oppai galore haha, I supposed the anime will be different from the manga 'Queen's Blade - Hide & Seek' by Nanzaki Iku?

Hmm, there are some characters in the official site I've never seen before in the manga. Oh well, I'll probably be watching this when it's out xD. The manga seemed to be up to Chapter 8 and Volume 1 of the manga is already out. I'm considering adding it in my amazon.co.jp shopping cart ... Should I, or should I not?

Next, Saki, lol have anyone of you watched the PV for it yet? It's so wtf half-way through it lol. It started out, ohh sweet, a flashback, oh school girls, panty flashes, ohhh misleading the rain scene, ohh mahjong and then WTH magical schoolgirl-like transformation scenes!?, Nanoha-like battle scenes!? and no, oh it's just a game of mahjong LOL. Go watch it if you don't believe me xD.

Alrighty, next, Sasameki Koto, *pumps fist in the air* I hope the animation will be awesome xD, go read the manga which is currently scanlated by Dynasty Scans first, for now it's kinda draggy, filter-like and 'WTHWHYDONTHEYJUSTFREAKINGCONFESSTOEACHOTHERALREADY' in a way. But yeah it's awesome lol.

Ah, Aoi Hana, I'm kinda confused by the story but it's great to see a yuri title being animated =). The relationships seem complicated compared to Sasameki Koto or Girlfriends since we know the two main leads like each other but they just won't give in =A=. In Aoi Hana, I think it's more than just that, *shrugs* I'm really just confused lol.

To speak the truth, I'm surprised that Aoi Hana got animated, I'm not sure how popular Aoi Hana is in Japan but ... compared to Hayate x Blade or Girlfriends [Or I'm just bitter lol] ... Aoi Hana has a relatively smaller fan base? Well, that's how I think anyways.

What else? Octave to to animated next!? *Squeals* I will be totally excited at the prospect of one of TS's projects being animated haha xD. I mean Hyakko was being animated already [And it's a pretty good successful I should add].

There're news that To Aru Kagaku no Choudenjibou [A Certain Scientific Railgun] will be animated.

I've read Chapter 1 and it seems rather promising with the bath scene grope lol but *shrugs* it might be action-packed in later volumes. I'm downloading the chapters right now so ... see how it goes xD.

This looks pretty interesting too, Umi Monogatari ~Anata ga Ite Kureta Koto~ [うみものがたり～あなたがいてくれたコト～].

Click here, scroll down and press play to watch the PV. The animation looks gorgeous and more info on the story here.

Whoa, this sure is a long post lol, last but not least;

Yukino and Kanade from Candy☆Boy figurines TAT I want them~~~ lol. Guess that's all I have tonight, see ya on the next update.

[ONA] Candy☆Boy Ep6

2009-03-07T13:09:00.003+08:00

[Posted @ 1:30 PM]
This was my reaction when I logged in to NicoNico expecting to watch Candy☆Boy Ep6 yesterday.

EDIT: 13 March 2009;

It's out on NicoNico xD and English subs by Frostii is already out =O Fast.

【ニコニコ動画】Candy boy episode:06 「ソノサキニアルコト」

Huh, guess we have to wait till March 13th ... NOT, HAHA Mandarin subs to the rescue!

Hmm, quite a serious episode towards the end there. 'A future that is not too far from us.'

Episode 6 continued from where Episode 5 has left off - Kanade handing up her art/sketch assignment to her teacher after re-doing it while Yukino's waiting outside the room with a cup of hot liquid. Kanade told Yukino that she was lectured by the teacher who bitterly commented that she's worried of Kanade's future. Yukino told Kanade to reflect on her action, saying that because of Kanade's silly ways that they're unable to enjoy their holiday week and in addition, Kanade almost had to repeat a grade. Kanade was like 'I've already aplogized ._.' Yukino continued telling Kanade to be careful as she often lacks planning ahead and might go the wrong way. Kanade replied that Yukino too and brought up the incident where Yukino borrowed 7000 yen from her last year lol. Speaking of which, Yukino has yet to return back the money too. Yukino looked away and said that it's because of that month was Valentine's Day ... Kanade cut in saying that it's free isn't it, courtesy of Sakuya and Yukino still looks the same even after eating all that fattening chocolate huh.

Yukino tried to make excuses and pick on each other's weaknesses, like Kanade's huge collection of toys, such a waste of money huh. Kanade replied that they're presents from the underclassmen ... A moment of silence. Kanade then admitted that she lied, she bought them herself lol. Yukino nodded and said that it's good to be honest and that she'll return Kanade the money after they get their allowances. Kanade replied that it doesn't really matter, Yukino can return the money anytime she likes. Both of them then smiled at each other xD. Since Kanade had already submitted her assignment, they'll be able to go somewhere next sunday and they had to buy a return gift for Sakuya as well. 'Anywhere else you would like to go?', Kanade asked, Yukino replied that she doesn't have any place she wants, as long as it's with Kana-chan~ Ah yes, Yukino reminded that they have to buy a new noticeboard as well and Kanade said that they could go to the supermarket and buy one tomorrow. Yukino added that then next time they could buy that an egg won't crack even if dropped from the fifth floor new ... Before Yukino could finish her sentence, Kanade pinched her cheeks lol scolding her that she hasn't learn from that huh and it'll be better if Yukino return back the money fast. Yukino was like 'Didn't you say that any time's fine~!? Why!?' Kanade told her, 'Oh that, I lied.' LOL.

The next day, Kanade and Yukino were looking at the brochure of the new dormitory and that a single's room can accommodate two persons. Yukino felt that it's a pity that there's no double-deck beds this time. Sakuya commented that there's no such thing as double-deck beds in dorms anymore and even so it must had been forcefully customised. Looking at the blueprint of the dorm and spotting a whole floor level with only a room number, Kanade questioned Sakuya ... 'Could that be ...?' Sakuya nodded and said that 'That's mine and Kanade-senpai's love nest- I mean, new home, isn't that obvious?' LoL. Sakuya started to daydream, 'Ahh, come spring, Kanade-senpai and I will be able to start a new life together~' Like 'Welcome back, Senpai~ Do you want to bath first? Or do you want me first? And, M-e?~' Kanade was like 'There's something wrong there -.-|||' Etc etc of Sakuya's daydreaming scenarios of her and Kanade 'A drunk Sakuya + King sized bed in the room'. Sakuya even added that she had prepared a single room for Yukino and if she don't mind she can move it too. Besides, Sakuya added that she doesn't mind how people see it lol, with that Sakuya brought up the dorm contract and asked Kanade to stamp her seal on it.

Kanade was like 'Why is my name doing there? I don't understand ...' Besides, Kanade dropped the bomb on Sakuya, saying that she had already submitted her application along with Yukino. Sakuya was like, 'Doesn't the application intake only start tomorrow?' Yukino answered that that's only for newly enrolled students isn't it? As they will only know about their results around this time. Kanade added that besides, they submitted their application a month ago lol. But Sakuya wasn't listening anymore but frozen like a block of ice LOL. Just then the bell rang, it's time for them to go to their classes but Sakuya was still standing there and Kanade had to drag her to her class lol. After school on the train, Yukino was telling Kanade that Sakuya was still at that frozen form [Rather than swimming, more like a floating jellyfish lol] even during their swimming class that she got worried and told Sakuya to go home early lol. Kanade felt a little sorry for Sakuya and wondered why is she feeling guilty even though she did nothing wrong lol. Yukino added that besides, Sakuya will probably be fine by tomorrow and she'll send a new Kanade photo-antidote to her. Kanade was like 'Yu----ki---chan!?' Yukino giggled nervously and said that Shii-chan mailed her, asking when are they coming back for the spring holidays.

Kanade told Yukino that the teacher is holding classes during the spring holidays and if she could, she wants to stay during the holidays and attend the classes. Yukino seemed fine with the idea but they had to tell Shii-chan about it. Kanade was like 'Uh couldn't I get mail her or something.' Yukino was like 'Ka-na-chan!' Kanade went, 'Okay okay.' Meanwhile, Shii-chan was drawing on the whiteboard, wondering when her sisters are coming back, only to get a call from Kanade that they're not coming back. Judging from Shii-chan's lack of response when Kanade called, she's definitely not happy about it. Kanade went on to explain why she has decided to go for school spring classes rather than spend even more money on Arts Lab lessons. When Shii-chan asked if they're not coming back for the whole spring holidays, Kanade hesitantly added that they might come back but ... *Squeaking noises in the background* Shii-chan cancelled whatever plans she had on the whiteboard and wrote a big 'Onee-chans are idiots!' on it instead lol. Shii-chan then offered to tell their father about it, said goodbye and hung up.

Kanade, as dense as ever, didn't realised Shii-chan's disappointment over the phone lol and had expected Shii-chan to whine and complain more about it. Yukino hoped Shii-chan's not forcing herself to conceal her feelings again and proposed that they should find some time go back. Kanade added that even though she's happy, Yukino don't have to stay back for the spring holidays along with her. Yukino said it's okay since she has some club activities and she's retiring from the club in May so it'll be like extra training. Besides, Yukino seemed worried about Kanade's choice of study and that it's better for Kanade to attend preparatory courses [Cram School?] or something. That way, the chances of Kanade getting into the Arts university will be higher. Kanade explained that the school and preparatory school basically teaches the same thing anyways and if she fails to get in, she'll try again next year and work part-time to get into the preparatory school.

Yukino then commented that it will be great if she and Kanade could be together forever. Kanade was like 'What are you talking about? Of course we will be together.' Yukino added that 'To proceed to another grade together. To graduate together. To work together.' But, to submit that work Kanade had on her noticeboard, [The sketch of the Chibi-Kitsune Yukino lol] Yukino can't help but worry for her lol. Kanade was like 'Mou, you're a meanie, you don't have to keep repeating it, right?' Yukino continued that it will be better for Kanade to go for preparatory courses but Kanade was worried about the financial burden they had to take if she should attend. Yukino then offered to work or something to get the money for it so that Kanade can go to preparatory school and together they'll try their best this year. Kanade was stunned by Yukino's offer and she could only say, 'What was that about?' -Cue ED-

Ahhh, guess life's not all play anymore, they have to think of the future especially now that they're graduating from high school soon and go on to University. Yukino finally shines as an Older Sister here lol. Interesting episode I guess.

Fourth Anniversary of IchigoYuri

2009-02-01T20:42:00.003+08:00

[Posted @ 9:28 PM]
Wow. It's been f-o-u-r years, I have my ups and downs but I guess this is pretty good that I lasted this long. I've made wonderful friends online and experienced cool stuff (but somehow I can't list any).

However, I have no motivation to translate, blog or even watch any anime these days ... I've been catching on Maria-sama ga Miteru Season 4 episodes but I just can't bring myself to watch them ... why I wonder. Is this ... a symptom of growing up?

Rants;

Hmm, I wonder if everything is foreordain ... I'm really moody and emo these days ... due to family matters and despite that I still have to go back and finish my studies at Australia. I won't let anything stop me from graduating there and wearing that 'Square Hat', well unless the airplane I'm on crashes or something haha (Watched too much Air Crash Investigation and Seconds from Disaster).

Anyways, I'll probably continue blogging when I'm back in Australia, somehow I've learned to let everything go, there WILL be heartache and tears at first, but I'll come out stronger than ever, I will make her proud and be a person who lives her life with no regrets. I will fight, fight and fight to keep her going, like what happened in my dream, I'll never let go and never give up until it happened. At least, she will be happy and will never see the tears and blood I suffered from holding on.

Wanted to write a little story but my tears just keep flowing down. Perhaps I'll pen it down and share next time.

-Dazed

Natsuki: Aah …

Mai: A feminine appearance with a touch of elegance and that streamline and mature figure?
--- @How nice~@

Natsuki: But …looks can be deceiving.

Youko: I casually tried making a ‘Somersault Cloud’~ (heart).
--- @It’s a prototype.@

Shizuru: @To sit on it together with Natsuki …@
--- @Haa Haa@

Natsuki: @Ooh!@
--- @It’s amazing.@
--- @How exciting.@

-Poof

Youko: Ah.
--- I’ve forgotten to mention something.

-Creak

*Purple mind*

Shizuru: --- Eh?
--- @Ara, nice view (heart).@

Shizuru: I forgot to replenish, what should I do …

Shizuru: @Ah@
--- How about this, try this out then.

-Rustle

Natsuki: What is that?

Shizuru: Mai-san gave it to me just now.
--- She said it’s a souvenir from Zipang.

Natsuki: ?
--- From Mai?

Natsuki: It smells really good though.

Shizuru: The people there called it ‘Nioi Sumire’ in their dialect which means fragrant flower.

Natsuki: ‘Nioi Sumire’?

Shizuru: Yes.

Shizuru: The main point is that …
--- the flowering term is ---

Shizuru: ‘Viola’.
--- The meanings are the same for both names.

-Slip

Shizuru: @It’s useless …@

Akayuki’s notes:
Baka – Stupid/Idiot.
Chu – Kiss.
“Your (You) body and heart will be dyed in the smell and (colour) of Viola, Yo!!” – A play of words in the word ‘色’ (colour), it could mean ‘色’ as in colour or ‘色’ as in lust so Shizuru’s picking on Mai saying thumbs up on Natsuki been drenched in the smell and lust of Viola (Shizuru) LOL.

Natsuki: W-wait …
--- Baka …

-Nchu--- (heart)

Natsuki: Your clothes will get wet--- …

Shizuru: It doesn’t matter~

Shizuru: By the way,
--- on Mai-san’s card.

*Your (You) body and heart will be
--- dyed in the smell and (colour) of Viola, Yo!!*

Shizuru: That’s what she wrote (heart).

Natsuki: … Looks like I’ve got to have a little chat with her on where to draw the line.
--- @For the sake of my waist.@

Natsuki: But, to use this to wash my body,
--- feels like it will really dye me in purple colour.
--- @In any meanings of ‘colour’…@

Shizuru: That sounds good …

Shizuru: But, is it no good by adding me into the equation?

-Chu

Natsuki: It’s not that … that it’s not good.
@It’s not good for you to wait for me in your drenched clothes, you will feel uncomfortable too, right.@

Shizuru: Well then, let me help you wash every single part of your body (heart).
@I will definitely dye you beautifully!!@

Natsuki: … I knew you would say that …

Akayuki’s notes:
Nekokami Yama – [Cat God Mountain] A location in Mai Otome Universe, used to be Black Valley but was renamed in Mai Otome Zwei.

Natsuki: Um …
--- I can help you wash your back too?

Natsuki: It’s been a while …

*Which reminds me*

Shizuru: @Fufu@
--- It feels like we’re back in our school days (heart).

Natsuki: …Your expression is slacking too much, Shizuru.

Shizuru: Ara, you’re not calling me ‘Onee-sama’?
--- Na-tsu-ki-sa-n.

Natsuki: Yes, yes.
--- Onee-sama, Onee-sama.

*It was said that the sense of smell
--- has a direct link with a person’s memory.*

-Clang

-Splash …

*Everything flowed as per to Mai’s expectations.*

*Honestly speaking, it’s not amusing at all.*

Natsuki: Probably…from now onwards
--- whenever I catch a whiff of this fragrance.

Shizuru: @Natsuki and I smell so good--- (heart)@

Natsuki: I will remember all of …
--- this.
--- @Like this kind of situation or the other kind.@

@In high-spirits.@

*Meanwhile at Nekokami Yama*

Mai: … If I call this ‘Viola Soap’ I wonder if I can sell it to the fans of Shizuru-san.
--- @This.@

Mai: @Maybe I should try selling it in the black market first.@

*Such strong commercial spirit!@

I don’t know what possessed me, many things happened during December and I can’t seem to accomplish anything … I have no idea why it then became this kind of book, for that, I’m sorry. The copy for Summer Comi is also not the complete version … I will think of a solution in the next year (sweats). Can’t get myself to do up a book with solid contents, it is also due to me being in the slumps … (Cries). To all who have been patiently waiting (If there are any), I’m really sorry. (Panda Crying) Uwawa …again and again. Just to let you know, I still like ShizNatsu a lot … T-then why am I sketching Yomi!? This season, I was hooked by Ga-Rei -Zero- (Bitter Laughter) ... I-I will be better in the next year!!

I wish everyone a happy new year~~~

Well, many things are on my mind right now ... but I've got to relax once in a while ... sometimes I wish I had returned back faster or in June, perhaps this matter could had been avoided or ... lessen. Oh well.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Hopefully, it will be a great and wonderful 2009 for everyone out there XD.

Awwww, I want to have a Kitsune-Yukino in my bed and sucking my finger too lol.

Episode 5 started with Kanade and Yukino snuggling to each other under the umbrella while it's snowing [Like a real couple XD]. Kanade asked Yukino if she's cold, Yukino replied not at all because she feels warm, snuggled to Kanade like that. Yukino asked Kanade back, Kanade replied that to be together with Yuki-chan like that, she feels a sense of happiness. Kanade commented that Yukino feels alright when she wears socks to bed, Yukino whined that her legs feel cold right now. Yukino reckoned that Kanade's warm because of the layers of fluffy fluffy 'meat' Kanade piled up LOL. Later the girls started discussing some senseless sound effect wordings, 'gami gami', ears and Gestalt ... which I have no idea about except Yukino made some profound sounding line about 'I am I, Kana-chan's Kana-chan. But by chance, fate made us together, what a beautiful thing, isn't it?'

Things start to go random from now on, as Yukino suddenly tripped and becomes ... a Chibi-Kitsune [Little Fox] =w=. Chibi-Kitsune Yukino exclaimed that she's hungry lol. Kanade merely commented that Yukino likes foxes, so she's a fox now huh? Chibi-Kitusune Yukino replied that even though she likes foxes but she likes Kana-chan even more! Kanade offered Chibi-Kitsune Yukino some 'ear snacks'? but she don't wanna. Kanade asked Chibi-Kitsune Yukino to buy some cake from the store near the train station. Chibi-Kitsune Yukino replied that Kana-chan had told her not to go with strangers, isn't it? Kanade was like yes, you're right, it's dangerous, so be carefuk okay? LoL. Kanade then asked what Chibi-Kitsune Yukino wants to eat. Chibi-Kitsune Yukino thinks for a while, grabbed Kanade's finger and chew-sucked it lol. Kanade smiled and asked if it's yummy? Chibi-Kitsune Yukino nodded. Chibi-Kitsune Yukino suddenly release the finger with a pop sound and asked randomly whether if Kanade studied her test properly? LOL. Kanade then woke up with a start, everything which happened above was just a dream.

But when Kanade opened her eyes and saw ... Yukino sucking her finger, she was like, I see ... lol this kinda explains that weird Chibi-Kitsune Yukino dream? XD. That morning, Kanade probably told Yukino about her dream, Yukino laughed and said it's probably because of the new PJs she bought. Kanade added that Yukino sucking her finger in real-life added on to the weird dream too. Kanade lamented that the first part of the dream was getting good too lol. Kanade thinks it's embarrassing and refused to tell Yukino about the first part. Yukino pouted and called Kana-chan stingy. Kanade changed the subject and asked Yukino why she wants to eat 'G-gamma' after she pulled her finger out of Yukino's mouth. Yukino tried to deny it but was surprised to see Kanade with the video of her whining for 'G-gamma' or something LOL. Yukino was like Ahhh, delete it delete it!!! LOL. Kanade of course refused to delete it, so Yukino threatened to give photos of Kanade's embarrassing moments to Sakuya. Kanade was like, 'Isn't that blackmail!?' lol and asked when did she snap those photos. Yukino replied that it's a secret. As the sisters were fooling around, the dorm rep [I think] opened the door to take roll call and saw them in a compromising position LOL. The dorm rep was like 'Alright, the Bakappuru are here.' Bakappuru/バカップル kinda means Idiot/Stupid couple is a Japanese slang for a couple who show their affections/love for each other in front of others.

After that, the sisters starts to do their homework and Kanade asked Yukino for help in her 2nd Language homework lol. Kanade wanted to at least be in one same class with Yukino so she took up a 2nd Language. As they were chatted, Sakuya sneaked up to them with her new cellphone and took pictures I think. Kanade was like 'I should really capture you huh ...' Sakuya got up and said that Kanade's awesome because she heard that Kanade pushed Yukino down in the middle of the night, forcefully made her to play 'Come on, lick it' game LOL and Sakuya was envious about it. Kanade was like, 'I didn't do that -.-|||' Yukino tried to run away by excusing herself to the toilet but Kanade pulled her back as she tried to deny whatever Sakuya heard. Sakuya went on to ramble that she will do it until Kanade's satisfied, to please let her do it and that it doesn't bother her what anyone thinks of it. Besides, there's a sense of 'Moe' excitement feeling if someone sees it LOL. 'Today's snack will be Kanade-senpai's ... ~'. Kanade couldn't take it anymore, got Sakuya's attention and threw the packet of strawberry milk far away. Sakuya was like, Wahhh Kanade-senpai's packet of strawberry milk and chased after it. As Sakuya went to chase after it, Kanade pinched Yukino's cheeks and asked to have a little chat with her in the toilet.

After school, Kanade told Yukino to go back first as she has something to buy. At first, Kanade didn't want to tell Yukino but later told Yukino that she's going to buy chocolates to give Yukino for Valentine's Day. Kanade continued that she's giving it to Yukino for her to use it as a Honmei Chocolate [Chocolates which you give to your serious love]. [=A= ... what? It's not for her!?] Kanade wanted to keep it as a surprise for Yukino ... Yukino tapped her head against Kanade and thanked her. In their rooms, Kanade asked what they're going to do about the chocolates, buy them together on Valentine's Day? Yukino suggested that they go on a date too and that she has some place in mind. Kanade was hesitant because she got an assignment to do 50 sketches to pass up next week and she has tests on the up-coming weeks. Kanade then asked Yukino to be her model because she's used to drawing Yukino so it'll be faster and she'll be able to make the date on 14th.

On the 14th, Kanade got a mail from Shii-chan, saying that she got the chocolates the twins sent her. Kanade got worried, thinking why is Shii-chan still at home, did she ... Yukino replied that Shii-chan's still having her holidays. Meanwhile, Sakuya came to school with a huge package, her gift for Kanade-senpai lol. Kanade's feeling perplexed about it, thinking that Sakuya will probably just give a small box of chocolate and asked her to go out with her. Yukino offered to help out, saying that she got a secret weapon to appease Sakuya. True to Yukino's words, Sakuya accepted the bag claimed to be a secret weapon by Yukino and left in tears telling Kanade to take care and to get well soon lol. Seemed like Yukino told Sakuya that Kanade had a high fever of 37°C from studying too hard for the tests. As a token of appreciation, Yukino gave Sakuya a box of chocolates and a gift. Kanade asked what kind of gift, Yukino replied that it's some kind of thing which benefits the earth? LOL.

The sisters went to a fancy hotel to have a place of exquisite chocolate meal, kindly sponsored by Sakuya [Remember the voucher Sakuya gave to Yukino? Yep, that's it]. Kanade pinched Yukino for exchanging photos of her to get the voucher, Yukino said that because Kanade wanted to try the chocolate here so she asked Sakuya to get the voucher. When Kanade asked where's Yukino's portion, Yukino replied that Sakuya thought that only Yukino's going to use it so she only gave one. Kanade offered to share half of it. Yukino didn't want to, saying it's for Kanade, stuck one of her fingers, scooping some of the chocolate and offered it to Kanade.

Kanade: 'Oi, hey!'
Kanade: 'Um.'
Yukino: 'Okay, come on, Kana-chan, ahh~.'
Kanade: 'W-wait, what are you trying to do, Yuki-chan?'
Yukino: 'If I do this, you will eat it, right?'
-hesitates -
-glomp-
Yukino: 'Hm~.'
Yukino: 'How is it, Kana-chan?'
Yukino: 'Is it yummy?'
Kanade: 'Hm.'
-pop-
Kanade: 'Un, very yummy.'
-giggles-
Yukino: 'That's wonderful. Do you want another mouthful?'
Kanade: 'I want.'

Yukino then suggested that they go to a chapel after their meal. Meanwhile, Sakuya's feeling a little lonely that she won't be able to spend Valentine's Day with Kanade-senpai. Seems like Yukino's 'gift' to Sakuya is Kanade's pillow? LOL but it kinda smelt sour and sweet ... lol, somehow I think it's the dirtied pillow of Yukino in Ep1 of Candy☆Boy XD, the pillow which she dropped the egg and it broke on the pillow. *Checks* lol, seems to be the same colour too ... hahaha.

As for Kanade's assignment, the teacher returned the sketch book to Kanade and told her to re-do it LOL. Hence, the week holiday before the tests was cancelled because of the assignment. As Yukino was flipping the sketches in Kanade's book, Yukino said that the theme is 'Real-Life Sketches' isn't it?

Kanade actually went and sketched a Chibi-Kitsune Yukino as her part of her assignment LOL. The teacher even asked if Kanade's alright to do that sort of sketch LOL. Kanade didn't see anything wrong with it, saying that it's cute, it makes her feel like taking it home with her and that she had not dreamt of the Chibi-Kitsune after that. When Kanade started rambling, Yukino asked her if she wants to repeat another grade? Kanade apologized and said that she'll go clear her head LOL. - END of Candy☆Boy Ep5 -

Awww, it's such a cute episode lol, with the random dream, a Chibi-Kitsune Yukino, misleading chocolate sucking scene .... ozmg lol. I better get to bed before this goes outta hand.

Here's Part 2 of the scripts and it's the end, hope I didn't miss out any words untranslated =w=

Akayuki notes:
Nyan is basically the sound a cat makes so the title is kinda like ‘Big Kitty’.
Koneko is little kitty.
Ookini – ‘Thank you’ in Kyoto-ben.

*By Nanzaki Iku*
*Big Nyan-nyan*
*Is there-nyan?*

-Munch munch

Shizuru: This is what they call the ‘Face Only’ manga, hm?

Natsuki: Change it if you already knew about it.

Nao: You can’t expect much from a Panda.
--- Besides, the two of you are noisy.

[Panel Story]

Aoi: @Ah@
--- Nao-chan, there’s some sort of thin white fur on your hair---?

Nao: Nn?
--- Ah, thank you, Aoi.

Nao: Ah … it’s the fur from koneko behind the school building.
--- I’ve got to see it later.

-Squeeze …

-Mya~n

Aoi: As long as it’s an animal one loves dearly, even one will think that its fur looks cute too---
--- @Ahaha@

Akayuki notes:
I’m putting ‘hair/fur’ because if I put as ‘hair’ it won’t sound funny, if I put as ‘fur’ it sounds weird and besides ‘毛’ could mean fur or hair, in this case, it’s used subtly as hair and fur so read it as you please =).

Haruka: @Wait@
--- Fujino, there’s some sort of long black hair/fur on your hair---?

Shizuru: … Eh?
--- Ah, Ookini, Suzushiro-san.

Shizuru: Aah … this is the hair/fur from my house’s koneko-chan.
--- I’ve got to stroke her later …

-Iya~n

@Eh!?@

-Jyun …

Haruka: Is there even such a breed of cat with this kind of long hair/fur!?
--- Besides and what’s with that ‘Jyun’ sound!?

-For the whole of today, you will be ‘Koneko-chan’.-
-@Yaa!!@-
-Tennou Haruka-san-

Akayuki notes:
Otome-don – ‘Otome’ means young lady, ‘Don’ is a bowl of rice’ like ‘Katsudon’ and stuff so in this case, ‘Otome-don’ probably means a bowl of young lady XD.
Okome – Grains of rice.
I like to keep ‘Otome and Okome’ together so that you can see the play of words there.
Neko – Cat/kitty.
Baka – Idiot/stupid.

- Page 10 -

*Otome-don.*

--- The appearance of the dish is very appealing.

Shizuru: That’s because Natsuki’s my house’s most important and most special neko-san … (heart)
--- (The main point is the ‘sexual’ meaning.)

-Yan-

Natsuki: ?
--- Neko?

-Munch munch munch

@However I’m been referred to being a dog more often …@

LoL, the names just keeps getting longer.

その花びらにくちづけを　唇とキスで呟いて
[Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o Kuchibiru to Kisu de Tsubuyaite]

Onee-sama wa ERO-OTOME~! XD.

Hmm, tried listening to the conversations at the beginning about our two main characters, Nanami and Yuuna having a raburabu pinic in their school backyard. Nanami's worried about being seen looking chummy with Yuuna and (random) Yuuna wondered if it's because of her groping that Nanami's breasts got bigger in size ahaha. It seems that Yuuna's as ero as ever lol. Hmm then they were having the cake Yuuna made (if I'm not wrong), resulting in the scene as shown below;

After that Nanami kept thinking about her Onee-sama and dreaming of Yuuna suggesting that they do ecchi stuff hahaha. *Rapid clicking* LoL, it's amusing to see Yuuna suddenly turn into this whiny and clingy Onee-sama once everyone's gone. Whoa, then they did it in the classroom on the desk ... *not surprising there* haha. After that, they went back to Yuuna's house and did it again =A= LOL.

(Selects 'Embrace Me' option.) Ah, it's good to be young.

*Rapid clicking* LoL, Nanami's off to dreamland again ... a date with Onee-sama~!

LoL, Nanami has quite a few of her own ecchi dreams of Yuuna, hahaa, looks who's the ero otome this time XD. Well there're many more ecchi scenes and I'm lazy to screenshoot all of them.

There's a bit of angst in the end, a little misunderstanding between Nanami and Yuuna, it's pretty cute lol XD. Not forgetting the make-up sex in the end LOL.

I've uploaded the CG set on MF, so yeah, enjoy it. The PNG files are not named according to the scenes order though, (I didn't make it o_o, don't blame me) XD.

Hmmm, some parts are nice, some parts I don't understand, some parts I'm not into it o_o so I can't comment much, lol as usual, I was merely rapidly clicking my way through the game to the end.

YanZi's performing on the World AIDS Day Concert at Fort Canning Park~ Went early to 'queue' up but found out that only there YanZi Unlimited Fanclub people were queuing up and me lol! I wasn't even with them =A=, arrived there at around 2.30-45 PM, and they were just 1-2 hours earlier than me haha. Waited there for 4-5 hours and of course I spent those time fruitfully by reading manga LOL.

I'm happy that I went early cos we managed to see YanZi doing a rehearsal before walking out of the compound, resulting in this snapshot~;

YanZi never fails to amaze me with her awesome vocals and live performance and of course seductive looks casted at us LOL.

She sung a combi of 'Zhi Lai Zhi Wang + Shen Qi + Lu Guang' and then 'Ni Guang'~

YanZi's awesome smile and wave to fans~;

YanZi opening the Ending Group Song which brings us to the finale of the concert, awwww~ She even gave us a flying kiss at the end LOL XD \o/.

Did nothing but slack at home reading manga, playing with my parrots, eating and stickam-ing with TS mates lol.

1st December 2008

Hmmmm, same as what I did on Sunday lol, oh went to the studyroom with the air-con on and watched Mendoru ~Ikemen Idol~ Ep7 XD.

Oh yes, Tranquil Spring has picked up Mendol (Mendoru / ﾋｧﾄﾐﾅｼﾏ) ~Ikemen Idol~ as our maiden softsub project. It wasn't until Episode 4 or 5 was aired before I started translating the scripts, it was a totally fun experience, very different from translating manga. I really admire those Mandarin subbers who can translate merely by listening to the conversations [Sometimes when the actors don't pronounce the words properly, it's hard to grasp the meaning].

We have released the softsub of Episode 1 and Episode 2 already, check it out at TS site or D-addicts Forums. As for Episode 3, it is still in the PR-QC stage, we're trying our very best to catch up with at least just 2-3 episodes behind, as there are currently 8 aired episodes with Episode 9 coming up this week. I would like to take this chance to thank Amaya, Chiri, Hayashi, Hayate, Jo and Kai who are with me in Project M. Thank you all for triggering my 'fighting spirit' with your enthusiasm in Skype XD.

Subbing is not an easy job, especially when you have to double check the translated meanings over and over again so that we release the most accurate and quality enjoyment to fans of the series out there. You know, I just dislike subbers who vaguely translate the lines, yes, it might be smooth reading but it just destroys the beauty and meaning of the Japanese Language. Not like I'm profound in Japanese or what but have you ever wondered about the few words subtitle and yet the actor kept rambling a while on leaving you feeling like you're missing out some meanings? Well, that's how I feel so nothing beats learning the language and making the translations yourself XD.

Anyways, that's the end of my random rants, hope you enjoyed it or something lol.
