We're Bringing "Servamp" to Omari's Sister

As you may know we are taking a different tack with "Bakeneko's Lair."  As such we are bringing the current series we run there back to Omari's Sister.  "Bakeneko's Lair" will continue, but it will truly be targeted at readers older than age 16. 

Chapter 3 of "Servamp" is well on its way to being done.  It has just been sent to the typesetter and should be ready for release in 2 to 3 weeks.  Until then, please refresh yourselves or catch-up on the series:

"Ojousama no Untenshu" Chapter 4

Here's chapter 4 as promised! It's the older-woman-hits-on-Narutaki chapter we all expected. Get your eye-rolls over with now.  Forget the pretty older lady, what's entertaining here is Sayaka's reaction to Narutaki's and Miss Fumi's relationship.  Now that this expected chapter is over with, guess what comes next??? Geez, I wonder could Sayaka's father could have picked out a fiancee for Sayaka. Noooooo, that would never happen. That would be be way too predictable.  Hahaha! As I've said before, I don't mind cliches as long as they are done well (and there's nicely drawn eye candy...ahem...cough...cough).

Oh and some notes for some folks for whom English is a second language:
  • "Spirits" -- euphemism for alcohol and whiskey
  • "Working woman" -- euphemism for "prostitute"
And a translator note for "Sanshou Dayu":  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sansho_the_Bailiff
The Wikipedia article is about a movie, but I imagine there's an older literary source for the story.

Oh! I almost forgot! This is the debut of Kurohaineko as one of our redraw artists!  She's taken care of all the redraws up through chapter 7.  Kuronhaineko comes to us on loan from another group :). Please give thanks to her for lending us her talents so we can complete this series successfully.

Onto to the release!

"Ojousama no Untenshu" Chp 3

Watery banners are needed for August!!!! (width 1250 px, max height 350 px)

I hadn't realized that it's been more than 3 months since we last released a chapter of this series. Time does fly! Anyhow, we are accelerating this series. Our goal is to complete the series in September, which means we will be release 2 or 3 chapters per month. In fact, chapter 4 will be released tomorrow!

Let's give thanks to Amrai for her wonderful translation. This series is quite a challenge both in terms of translation and English adaptation. In light of the recently reignited honorific debate, I experimented by using English equivalents of Japanese honorifics. I'm not sure I like it and I know some of you who understand the importance of honorifics may not like it either.  I think, though, you can guess the Japanese honorific if you give it some thought. Anyhow, I'm still on the fence with respect to honorifics. I prefer to use them when the characters are Japanese in Japan and I think it's inappropriate to use them with non-Japanese characters that are not in Japan.

Onto the release!
