Ehhhhhh!?


We've been quiet for a while, and many of you have been wondering as to the situation.

In a word, Zefiris will be unable to devote time to this project until after the end of this year.

I apologize, both for this hiatus and for the delay in announcing it. I won't conceal that it's been a matter of contention between Zefiris and myself. (Though I must add that "contention" is essentially the normal state of our friendship, and has been for its many years.)

However, one fact not in contention is that as both translator and primary editor, this project has always been 85% Zefiris' efforts, so both you and I will simply have to await her pleasure.

Until that time, and our next release, happy holidays.

Choir, 19, 20, & 21


Time for more Choir. We apologize for the wait.

As it turns out, the cast of Choir hail from very diverse regional backgrounds, as we learn in great detail in chapter 20...

Also of note, Chapter 21 involves mahjong, which has become almost the official tabletop game of yuri, thanks to a certain other well-known series. I'm grateful to my friend Claire for having pushed me into learning to play. In addition to being enjoyable in its own right, knowing the game greatly simplified the translation of this chapter.

Although we did our best to provide helpful explanatory notes, we offer our apologies if non-players still find themselves confused; the chapter assumes at least a basic knowledge of the game.

As to the aforementioned yuri, it increases dramatically within the next seven chapters, so please look forward to it. We'll be doing our best to bring them to you soon.

Read it on dynasty.

Upcoming project: Oniyuri-san and Himeyuri-san

We are pleased to announce an uncoming new project: Oniyuri-san and Himeyuri-san, a webmanga described as a "high-tension yuri x yuri love comedy".

On campus, student council secretary Oniyuri Itsuki and student council president Himeyuri Shizuku are popular total opposites. While their respective fans are divided into factions, their actual relationship is....!!

At the moment there is just one chapter, and we don't actually know if this is just a one-shot or if it will be continued - it is titled as oneshot, but who knows. Obviously we hope the latter, but in any case, please look forward to it.

Amnesian

We're putting Amnesian on indefinite hold. This is not because it isn't yuri - it will be, we all know this. The newest chapter even has some rather suggestive sexually themed scenes. No: It's just that this is not the kind of manga I like, which is getting more and more apparent. I just dislike it.

I liked chapter 1, and I wanted to like this manga. We, Cryssoberyl and I, managed it through the horrible second chapter, past the annoying third, and even beyond the seventh. But it's enough. We're throwing the towel. I hope someone better than us picks it up - someone who really likes the Manga, can get it done quicker, with better editing, and better translations (that's the other issue I had with it: Kaishaku is so...vague! Translating obscure otaku references is far easier than Kaishaku).

We'll be better off focusing on Choir or something like that.

I'd like to apologize to those waiting for the manga (all five of you!) and to Audio Erotica specifically, who was so kind to take over scanning for us. Especially she deserves the apology, for she scanned the last chapter, which we were not even able to finish. I am sorry for this.

Maybe you'll appreciate the other things we will do. Maybe not. Either way, Amnesian is on hold, so don't expect any future chapter from us.

Choir, Chapters 15, 16, 17, and 18


We are pleased to bring you chapters 15-18 of Choir.

One thing I enjoy about Choir, and that (to me) sets it apart from being just another "moe" manga, is that the characters are all extremely genre-savvy. They may not know they're manga characters, but they are certainly aware of the clichés that come with living in one.

Chapter 16 is a positive example of this: several of the old negative stereotypes about yuri relationships are directly pointed out, just so that they can be dismissed - both by words directly after, and by action and emotion in many subsequent chapters.

However, Mayuko and Shousei aren't the only ones for whom feelings are strengthening. A new pairing is beginning to emerge as well, though stormy weather is visible in the distance...

We hope you will enjoy.
