Keep Those You Love Closest

Today, we are happy to present chapter 19 of Shounen Oujo, the last chapter of volume 3 and as of this writing, the most recently published chapter. The most recent issue of Sylph says that Utako Yukihiro is still serializing her Uta no Prince-sama - Maji Love 2000%, so it's unknown when she'll restart Shounen Oujo. What we do know, at least going by the preview at the end of this volume, is that volume 4 is expected to be released sometime in 2014, and going by when the last three volumes came out, we can assume that it'll probably be released in either August or September, which means Yukihiro may restart Shounen Oujo no later than January or February (if there aren't any unforeseen delays). What this means for you and us, unfortunately, is that there is going to be a very long wait until we restart this series. So with that, enjoy this wonderful chapter.

And of course, Happy Halloween everybody!

Protect What is Most Precious!

Shounen Oujo chapter 18 is done, meaning there's just one chapter left in the volume, but it's a long one, so hopefully that'll make up for it.

Fate is How You Make It!

All right, here's chapter 78 of Usotsuki Lily as volume 12 draws to a close, complete with the author's usual afterword. And as fate would have it, volume 13 was just released in Japan today featuring Naota and Reina on the cover, which makes sense, looking at the preview at the end of this volume. A few days ago, chapter 93 was published in the magazine, so once we get volume 13, we shouldn't be that far behind the serialization. Regarding that, we may be getting volume 13 sometime in November, so the wait shouldn't be as long as usual.

In other news, Sweet Magic Syndrome volume 2 is being released in late November, and Bokura no Hentai volume 4 and Kuragehime volume 13 are being released in mid-December a few days apart from each other. So we'll most likely be working on those series starting in early January.

My Queendom for a Ship!

Shounen Oujo has finally returned after more than 10 months with chapter 15! Thanks to everyone who's been patient for this, since this series seems to be plagued with hiatuses. In fact, the manga is still currently on hiatus in Japan, and has been since February, so the chapters in this volume are the most recent releases until it restarts in Sylph. But with Utako Yukihiro still serializing Uta no Prince-sama - Maji Love 2000% in Sylph, it might not be until early next year that we start seeing more of Shounen Oujo in the magazine.

Put Your Trust in Cross-dressing!

After about a 100-day hiatus, Usotsuki Lily returns with chapter 72 at the start of volume 12! That's 72 chapters (not counting the one-shots from volume 0, and the various bonus chapters at the end of the volumes), a staggering number for sure (for us, at least), but with Usolily about to celebrate it's 100th chapter early next year, it seems miniscule by comparison. A few days from now will officially be our 3-year anniversary since our first release way back in October 2010. In that time, we've had over 500 releases, over 4,200 comments, and over 1.9 million page views to this blog.

We've also received $439 in donations since we started that back in mid-2011, and we are forever grateful to those who have donated. Except for our Waai and Waai Mahalo series (and a couple other small releases), we buy all our raws. To put this in perspective, that's 13 volumes of Usolily, 12 of Kuragehime, 4 of Love Allergen, 2 of Otosuki and Gisou Honey Trap, 3 of Bokura no Hentai and Shounen Oujo, 1 of Sweet Magic Syndrome, Zenryoku Otome and Kokuhaku, and 15 of Josou Shounen. The grand total brings it to 57 volumes. So thank you, whether you've donated or not, because it is you that we do this for, the fans of the manga we scanlate.

Lastly, regarding Shounen Oujo, we may be able to restart it later this month if all goes well. There was a big unexpected problem with our last order, which just happened to have volume 3 of Shounen Oujo in it, but we have contacted our seller, and so should have it later this month, we hope. Thank you to everyone who's been very patient with waiting for this series. Just know that we are in the same boat as you. We love Shounen Oujo and want to continue to scanlate it as soon as possible.
