Omari's Sister 4th Anniversary Kickoff! "Eikyuu Shoujo" ("Eternal Girl") by Akane Ogura

Our anniversary is actually on the June 26th, but I decided to expand the celebration throughout the whole month of June. Because we don't like to blow our wad all at once, we'll be releasing a new oneshot at least once every two days.  For this anniversary, I picked works that span the various magazines we pull content from.  When we started back in 2009, we were a Hakusensha focused group that mainly pulled from Hana to Yume and Lala DX.  Now we pull content from:

Hana to Yume
The Hana to Yume
Lala
Lala DX
Lala Special
Asuka
Princess
Petite Princess
Wings
Zero-Sum Ward
Avarus
Aria
Itan
Comic Gene
Kiss
Kiss Plus

Yes... I subscribe to many magazines, but it's all in search for the best shoujo and josei to read and share. I also have a nice library of materials for the group. I admit that I love curating all the works for this group. Anyhow... this month I hope to show the depth and breadth of works this group does. There's a lot more to shoujo than girl focused high school dramas.

To start things off, I've selected the latest oneshot from one of the first mangaka we started translating, Akane Ogura.  We took on "Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen" halfway through the series. Since then, we've continued to translate her oneshots and we hope to eventually release our version of all of her oneshots.  Her next work will appear in Lala DX 7, which comes out on June 10th, followed soon by another compilation of oneshots, which we will translate.  We hope to squeeze in the new oneshot during this celebration, so please look forward to it.

And now onto the release!

"Yukarism" Chapter 12 and Chapter 1 - 11 Catch-up!

After more than a year, "Yukarism" has finally resumed! If you need a refresher or are new to the series, links to past chapters will be included with this release.

As for the chapter itself, the images look more hand drawn than before the hiatus. It's nice and more more personal looking. Anyhow... part of the goods are delivered in this chapter which will make fans very happy. It's a cute chapter.

And now on to the release!

"Lily" Chapter 6 (End)

LINKS ARE NOW CORRECT

And now we come to the final chapter of "Lily", though I don't think the story is over. Rather it'll be continued in Magnolia. (Hopefully this means we'll get longer Magnolia chapters.) It's no big guess what happens here after the sudden entrance of Dr. McCreepy-Pants in last chapter. Still what Saiga has to say to this creeper is fresh (at least to me.)

So without saying much more, here's the release!

We Need You! Omari's Sister is Recruiting!

Three of our redraw artists have left the group, so if you can led us a hand redrawing and clone stamping that would be great! We are now preparing for July and August.
-----------------------------------
We are recruiting for summer break! If you don't have time while school is in session, then perhaps you can lend us a hand during school breaks.  We will be doing many oneshots and short series during the summer and the second half of 2013.  As usual we need Japanese to English translators and redraw artists. Cleaners and a new batch of proofreaders/QCers are welcomed too. For more information, please see our recruitment page HERE.
