Sweet Freebie in Hana to Yume 11

Do you want a sweet "Gakuen Alice" stationary set?  Then you better get Hana to Yume Issue 11!  I bought my copy from Sanseido Books (they will mail it to you if live too far away to pick it up.).  It should also be available from Akadot in about 2 - 4-weeks.

"Scarecrow of Oz" and "Furou Kyoudai" Update

The "Scarecrow of Oz" compilation book is scheduled to go on sale on June 20th.  There's no listing yet, but since "Furou Kyoudai" came out after, then the compilation should go on sale sometime in July.  This means we can start "The Scarecrow of Oz" in July and then "Furou Kyoudai" will start in August.  I'm very happy about this!  It means we can deliver a high quality version of these short series with out killing ourselves.  When the books do come out, I will, of course, post links so you can purchase your own copies :).

Please Do Not Upload Omari's Sister's Projects

Do not force me to do something draconian!

I can't believe I have to say this again x2.  Please do not upload our projects to ANY of the manga aggregation websites.  Do not strip the credits pages from our work and upload them.  Do not claim that the work comes from another group and upload them.

It is not fair to have a manga aggregation website profit from work they didn't do.  They don't share their profits with the original artist or the group that did the translation.

Ouran High School Host Club Volume 18 Extras

First of all, let me encourage you to buy this volume in Japanese, whether you can read it or not (you should have the translation already), in order to directly support Hatori-sensei.  Here are some links to online stores:

• Amazon Japan
• Yes Asia ($7.99 + $3.99 shipping!)

And now onto the good stuff.  Like somebody else commented in the teaser post, these extras should give most everyone a satisfying end to the "Ouran High School Host Club" series.  I still want more Kyouya...but I'll live, I suppose.  Also...I shouldn't complain too much since I did get this (as written in the chatbox while I was struggling with the Barcelona extra chapter):

I would gladly give up this 60-page monstrosity for 6-page short of TamaXHaru snuggling on a couch on Friday night watching Netflix...as a needed rest after a good performance on midterms...

Wahahaha!!!!  I enjoyed EVERY pixel of the couch snuggling omake *wide grinz*.  And for that moment of joy, I humbly thank Hatori-sensei.
