Real Men Wear Skirts!

For our final release of 2013, here's the other new series that started serialization in Waai this issue, Super Family Complete by Kamaboko Red. It's a continuation of the Family Complete/Compilation/Contact one-shots we previously released, later compiled into the Family Complete + volume. So please enjoy even more antics from these four cross-dressing brothers, and we'll hope to see you again for another trap-filled year in 2014!

The Road to Being Manly is Paved With...Cross-dressing?

So, for the past few days we've been working on one of the new series in Waai, and the first two chapters of Zettai Fukujuu Game by Peke are done. Kotarou Hayasaka is a new student at Oomiya High School, a prestigious boys school where the student council president is able to make a single school rule at the beginning of the year. This year, the student council president Izuki Jinguuji decides that all the students have to cross-dress during school activities, much to Kotarou's dismay.

There are two chapters because the first one is actually a one-shot that was released in the issue before this one that we simply never got around to doing. Then this issue, it started a serialization, continuing the story from the one-shot. We hope you enjoy the new series.

'Tis the Season to be Cross-dressing!

For today, we have a double release: Boku to Boku chapter 8 and Otasuke Miko Miko-chan chapter 9, the latter of which is shorter than usual. Still more from Waai to come. And to those who celebrate it, Merry Christmas! And to everyone else, Happy Holidays!

A Mid-Winter Rendezvous!

Finally, Kakukaku Shikajika chapter 14 is done with the end of volume 2. Currently, the manga is up to chapter 21 in Cocohana, with chapter 22 about to be published next week. Volume 3 will be out sometime early next year, possibly March, though we might not have it immediately after it's release. We'll make some updates as we get closer to then.

Now for a tentative schedule for what we'll be doing from now until then. First of all, at the end of this month, Waai Mahalo comes out, so starting in January we'll be releasing series from that again, such as Boku wa Senpai ni Josou o Shiirareteimasu, Hikaru to Hikari, Himegoto+, etc. At the same time, we'll be starting the new serialization of Himegoto in Comic Rex, as previously mentioned.

Also in January, we'll be doing Usolily volume 13 for sure. The next chapter of Kenjutsu Komachi will also be coming out soon. Starting in January or February, we'll probably begin Kuragehime volume 13 and Bokura no Hentai volume 4. Once both of those are done, we'll probably then do Sweet Magic Syndrome volume 2. So that's pretty much what we'll be doing for the next two months. Meanwhile, we'll be continuing to work on the current issue of Waai.

Blow Out the Candles and Make a Wish!

Now for some Himitsu no Akuma-chan, chapter 15, done in collaboration with Deus Ex Scans.

Himitsu no Akuma-chan ch. 15: Mediafire, Dropbox

Sing Along With Me!

As previously mentioned, here's chapters 13 and 14 of Himegoto. Both are pretty short, and except for the first page of each chapter, they're in a regular manga format.

Also, you may have heard that Himegoto started serialization in Comic Rex in October, and we'll be starting to work on that next month with the first three chapters.

Old Flames Never Die!

Today, we are very pleased to present the final chapter of Reversible, chapter 15. After more than 3 and a half years of serialization in Waai, and four separate scanlator groups later, Reversible has finally come to a close, though not without some surprise. Honestly, I expected this manga to continue for at least a couple of chapters more, so when I heard that this was the final chapter, I was surprised and questioned whether such a great series could conclude in just one more chapter.

This is a series that we started working on as a result of the death of Wow!scans back in mid-2011 when we originally collaborated with Maigo Scans to produce chapters 6 and 7, and then took it over fully in early 2012 from chapter 8 to now. We started working on this manga a little under a year after forming Hachimitsu Scans, so to see a manga we've been working on for so long come to an end, and to a rather abrupt end at that, is very bittersweet. However, I'll leave it to you to decide whether the ending is satisfying or not.

All Work and No Play Makes Akiko a Dull Girl!

Chapter 10 of Kakukaku Shikajika is finished, meaning...there's still much more to come.

Oh, What a Tangled Web We Weave!

Took a little extra time because of the holiday, but here's Kakukaku Shikajika chapter 9.

And as for Waai, it'll be postponed until early next month unfortunately it'll start to be released later this month, and the next Waai Mahalo will be out by early next month, too.

The Lord of the Paints!

Here's chapter 8 of Kakukaku Shikajika with the start of volume 2.

War of the Artists!

Finally, here's chapter 7 of Kakukaku Shikajika is done with the end of volume 1. Volume 2 will begin next.

Also, the new issue of Waai comes out in a few days, so we'll be doing the various series from that soon, including a couple of new ones.

Kakukaku Shikajika ch. 7: Mediafire, Dropbox

Night on the Kanazawa Railroad!

All right, so here's chapter 6 of Kakukaku Shikajika, so we're almost done with volume 1. Good thing we already have volume 2 on hand.

Something interesting about this chapter is that of all the colleges named, Higashimura chose to partially obscure the name of one of them, Osaka Kyoiku University. Your guess is as good as mine as to why.

Kakukaku Shikajika ch. 6: Mediafire, Dropbox

Akiko on the Shore!

After some toiling, chapter 5 of Kakukaku Shikajika is finished. Something of note that we've come to realize is that while this manga's story starts in 1994 and later moves into 1995 (with this chapter), according to the facebook page, the actual events occurred the year before in 1993 and moved into 1994.

Kakukaku Shikajika ch. 5: Mediafire, Dropbox

An Artful Idea!

And so chapter 4 of Kakukaku Shikajika is finished, putting us at more than halfway through volume 1 already.

Run, Melos...er, Akiko!

And now chapter 3 of Kakukaku Shikajika is done.

What I Draw About When I Draw About Drawing!

The moment has finally come to reveal what we've been up to this past week. We decided to pick up Akiko Higashimura's autobiographical manga Kakukaku Shikajika, and the first two chapters are now finished. It tells the true story of how Higashimura, whose real name is Akiko Hayashi, started going to this art class during her third year of high school led by a very intimidating teacher named Kenzou Hidaka. This manga's great if you're a fan of Kuragehime or the author's other works and want to find out about her past, or if you're just looking for a good read about art.

Also, in the opening pages of chapter 1, Higashimura alludes to a short manga she drew when she was 11 called Crazy Detective Story (Tantei Puttsun Monogatari), which you can view yourself here. The text at the top of that page reads:

This is a collaborative work drawn by six friends. We collaborated by me assigning what everyone would be in charge of for the other stuff, telling them, "You draw this," "You draw that," and "Color this." I drew the girl in the pink dress in the center. Even when rereading it now, it somehow or other has an ending at least, but the development is surprisingly abrupt (haha). There's an apartment building drawn on the cover page, but it doesn't appear in the story at all (haha). It's a mystery why I drew it!

Also, a small update regarding Usolily v13, we unfortunately won't be restarting it until the end of this year, or possibly early January due to an issue that came up with shipping.

And in an unrelated note, as of earlier this week, we finally crossed over 2 million hits to this blog! Thanks to everyone who comes here and reads our releases!

Sword Art Offline!

Here's chapter 3 of Kejutsu Komachi, released about a week ago. The next chapter comes out in late December.

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.

Shounen Oujo ch. 18: Mediafire, Dropbox

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.

Expect the Unexpected!

And now for some more Shounen Oujo with chapter 17. This marks the halfway point in the volume.

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.

Shounen Oujo ch. 15: Mediafire, Dropbox

Ah! To Be Loved!

We're already halfway through the volume with the release of Usotsuki Lily chapter 75. Time sure flies when you're scanlating a manga you love.

Moving rather smoothly along, here's chapter 74 of Usotsuki Lily.

Just Go With It!

Next up, some more Usotsuki Lily with chapter 73. Enjoy.

Usotsuki Lily ch. 73: Mediafire, Dropbox

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.

We still plan on starting up Usotsuki Lily v12 next month as well.
