Remember to Follow Your Heart...and Your Stomach!

Finally, after a week of toiling away, we're done with the last bit of Full Dozer. The bonus content consists of three small chapters revolving around Nina, which also offers a bit of an epilogue to the story, and there's also a few pages of Ayumi Komura's afterword.

In the end, this series probably didn't have everything we were hoping it would have after having done Usolily, but Ayumi Komura is still a very unique author, and Full Dozer was a short but sweet series we enjoyed working on over the past year, in which had quite a few of our series end. This also marks the first time we've completed three series by a single author. We look forward to continuing to work on Mori no Takuma-san when the first volume comes out early next year (chapter 4 is about to be published in Margaret in a few days).

But for now, our next release will be chapter 1 of Norio Tsukudani's new series Heroine Voice, but it is a very long chapter, so it'll take a little while for it to get it out, but please look forward to it.

The Road to Happiness is a Rocky One!

 All right, so after a bit of more work, here are Full Dozer chapter 15, 16 and 17, the last three chapters in the series. The only thing left to do is the bonus content, which takes up 53 pages, about a quarter of the volume. It's length, content, and the fact that Thanksgiving is almost here means it might be about a week before we finish the volume.

However, right after we finish Full Dozer, we'll be starting on the first chapter of Norio Tsukudani's new series Heroine Voice, which we should have by early next week. The next chapter of Yuri na Watashi also comes out next week, so we'll also be doing that shortly thereafter. Once those two chapters are done, then we'll get to Shounen Oujo and Bokura no Hentai. We will be getting to other projects (Ookami Shounen, Sakura no Sono) as soon as we can.

Tough Love is Never Easy!

We're back after about a week of silent toiling to release Full Dozer chapters 13 and 14 from the third and last volume in the series. There are still three main chapters left to go, and then some bonus extras at the end of the volume.

On an unrelated note, Comic Ryu just announced that the next issue will contain the last chapter of Bokura no Hentai, so volume 10 will be the final volume, and it will probably be released in January. As we said, we'll be working on v09 soon.

Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures!

With the release of Full Dozer chapters 11 and 12, volume 2 comes to a close, and we managed to get it done right before the last chapter is released in Margaret in a couple of days. The third and last volume comes out in late October, so we'll be finishing up the series later this year and we'll be eagerly awaiting Ayumi Komura's next series to begin serialization on October 20.

In Love and War, Take No Prisoners!

Now we come to Full Dozer chapters 9 and 10, marking more than halfway through the volume and two chapters left until we wait for volume 3. Hopefully, we'll be done with volume 2 by sometime next week. Quite a bit of work actually goes into this series (well, anything by Ayumi Komura, really), so we hope you all enjoy it.

If You've Got It, Flaunt It!

It's only been a couple of months, but Full Dozer returns with chapters 7 and 8 at the start of volume 2. As we mentioned before, Full Dozer ends in about a week, so we're pretty close to halfway through the series already, as odd as that may sound since not that much has happened in the story thus far. That said, it'll make the series a pretty quick read when we finish it up later this year.

About that Taiyou/Ten one-shot Komura mentioned at the end of Usolily v17, we still periodically look for it on the Margaret Bookstore app, but it either never appeared, or was posted for a very short time and then taken down before we got a chance to see it. Either way, it's been about 9 months since she announced it, and although we are still hopeful that it will eventually show up, since it's been so long already, there's also the possibility that someone from the editing department or even Komura herself simply decided not to put it on the app for whatever reason, and unless Komura talks about it again someday, we may never know.

When All Else Fails, Try Something New!

Finally, after a ton of work, we're done with Full Dozer volume 1 with the release of chapters 6 and 6.5, which contains a short bonus chapter and a few pages of afterword. The next volume comes out on July 24th.

You Learn Something New Every Day!

Here's chapter 5 of Full Dozer, which didn't take us quite as long as previous chapters thankfully. This leaves one main chapter left in the volume and then a bonus chapter and afterword.

So Close, Yet So Far!

And now for chapter 4 of Full Dozer, which coincidentally also took a week from the last chapter to release. Also, Himegoto has been delayed until early next week.

A Journey of a Thousand Miles!

Today we have chapter 3 of Full Dozer, bringing us about halfway through the volume.

A Star is Born!

Finally, after a five month wait, Full Dozer returns with an updated version of chapter 1 and the brand-new chapter 2. The updates in chapter 1 include the volume covers, the extra pages that precede chapter 1 in the first volume, and Ayumi Komura's usual bonus page at the end of every chapter with her comments (readers of Usolily will know these as the Whatever Lily pages).

Also, regarding the Taiyou/Ten BL one-shot Komura said she was going to release, we have periodically checked the Margaret Bookstore iOS app for it, but as of now, it has not appeared on the app. Komura said it wouldn't be free, so we've been searching for it through her author listing on the app, and although most of her manga are there, there is no BL one-shot. So we'll keep looking out for it when/if it appears, assuming Komura wasn't forced to nix the idea for whatever reason after she made that announcement. It would help if Komura had a blog or a Twitter account where she might make some further announcement, but alas, this is not the case.

Like a Bulldozer to the Heart!

The end of one series marks the beginning of another. We just couldn't wait to work on this, so we decided to release chapter 1 of Ayumi Komura's new series, Full Dozer! And it even came with a large color title page. However, even though we've released the first chapter from Margaret, we will not be working from the magazine raws from here on out for a number of reasons (one of the biggest being the money issue, but working from the volumes is simply easier on us). So consider this a sneak peak into the series while we wait for the first volume to be released next April.

In Full Dozer, Mao Manaka is a 15-year-old girl in junior high school who appears to be a refined beauty on the outside, but she's actually an impulsive girl who is very persistent once she has made up her mind to do something, which her childhood friend Ryouma likens to a bulldozer. This personality causes others her age to tend to stay away from her, and Ryouma enjoys the fact that he's basically the only person who can hang around her because he secretly has feelings for Mao.

Ryouma's daily interactions with Mao change one day when she meets Hayato Honjou, a fledgling actor who has had trouble making a name for himself in the entertainment industry. Ryouma quickly notices a change in Mao's demeanor when she starts showing a lot of interest in Hayato's up-and-coming career. Mao soon tells Ryouma that she has feelings for Hayato, and she shows Ryouma how determined she is to get closer to Hayato.
