We're not dead. We've merely vanished from your world.

Thanks to the many people who've inquired anxiously as to our situation, and forgive us for not answering sooner. A variety of issues have prevented us from moving forward.

One of the most important is, Zefiris is no longer interested in continuing with Choir! beyond the next three chapters (which, as I've hinted before, contain some truly excellent yuri). After that point, there is an upswing in the amount of fanservice/nudity - particularly of pseudo-lolis Mayuko and Shirayuki - that she finds both unpalatable and an unacceptable personal risk. Zefiris lives in Germany, and Germany takes an extremely dim legal view of trafficking in what they might consider pornographic depictions of underage characters. She does not wish to be prosecuted for this, and I certainly can't blame her.

As for me, let's just say I've been having technology issues. Both my car and my computer have been consuming my attention for the past several months. It's rather amazing how enslaved we are to the upkeep of the technologies that are supposed to make our lives more convenient. It is only just now that these issues appear to be finally resolved.

In any case, the plan is to release the next three chapters of Choir! as our last of that title, and then focus on Kimi no Tame for the foreseeable future. I can't say just when our next release will be, but we are and will be working toward it as time and circumstances allow. Thanks for your patience.

  4. No probs, and thanks for your work up 'til now.

    I can completely understand Zefiris' situation since I've had similar concerns with my own country's laws.

  7. It's a shame you're dropping Choir but can't blame someone for not wanting to go to jail.
    I didn't think that Volume 2 of Kimi no Tame Nara out yet. Are you going to wait for that or are you going to use magazine raws?

  8. An update!
    Yes... thank you very much! Very very much.

    Regardless of what you guys decide, we fans will still be here to support ya'll. I truly wish the hindrances soon disappear into oblivion!

  9. Oh, you're dropping Choir? This might seem like an odd question, but would you be all right if another team picks the manga up instead?

  10. @ Kimi no Tame - Zefiris handles the raws, so I'm not completely certain, but web raws exist for a significant amount of what comes after the first volume, I believe.

    @ Decliner - After we release the next three chapters, I have no objection at all to seeing someone else continue Choir. In fact, I'd be pleased to see it go on. Despite its flaws, I'm quite fond of it.

  11. No more Choir? Completely understandable as to why. Don't want Zefiris getting into unnecessary trouble. Anyway, take your time with the 3 planned chapters and I'll await the new project patiently since I still have many years left to embrace girls love.

  12. @Volume 2 of Kimi no Tame Nara
    We still have the second half of the first volume to go. After that, there's about 150 web strips available, since every 2-3 days a new page comes out.

    @Choir: Feel free! Honestly, we couldn't prevent you if we wanted to, and I sure don't want to stop you :P
    Can't help with raws though, I have exactly 0 Choir raws right now and don't plan to get any.

  14. Wow, it's nice to hear that you're still alive, just like everyone else, after Dynasty has stated they're going to stop scanlating, it's nice to hear a 'revival' from a group thought dead. Thanks so much for your continued dedication towards yuri, both you and Zefiris!
