Love Will Find a Way!

Here's the end of the Nisekoi Boyfriend lovely volume, a one-shot titled Yowamushi Kareshi to Kuroi Neko, which is a sequel to the previous one-shot Yowamushi Kareshi to Rokudenashi from the first Nisekoi Boyfriend volume. Also included is a bonus manga featuring the same characters from Yowamushi Kareshi. We had a lot of fun coming back to Nisekoi Boyfriend after nearly 3 years, and we hope that maybe Ataru Yamamoto will get to draw more of it in the future.

And now for an update to our ongoing projects. The next most-recent volumes that will be coming out will be Kami-sama no Ekohiiki v02 in late September, followed shortly by Mizutama Honey Boy v07 in October (most likely), and Shiomi-chan v03 in November (most likely). After that, we expect the last volume of Kuragehime to be released before the end of the year, since it's ending later this month in Kiss, so probably sometime between October and December.

And then the uncertainty only grows for three of our other projects. Shounen Oujo has been on hiatus since June, and there is currently no expected date for the next released chapter. Since there will probably need to be at least another 2 or 3 chapters released before v06 comes out, it's probably unlikely it will come out this year, unfortunately. The other series on hiatus is LiLy, which hasn't posted a new chapter since March due to the author's maternity leave. However, since it's likely she already gave birth by now, that series will most likely start up again in the next few months, although that still means that v03 probably won't be out until around March or April next year.

There's also been somewhat of a shakeup for Shimanami Tasogare. Not only did it take a short break in Hibana earlier this year, but that magazine is also ceasing publication in the next issue to be released on August 7. Shimanami will probably continue in another magazine by Shogakukan, or at the very least, we still expect a third volume to come out eventually with the serialized chapters we haven't done so far, but if it takes a few months to release the next chapter in another magazine, that probably means that v03 won't be out until next year sometime. We just hope Yuuki Kamatani is able to continue it in some form.

But for now, we'll still be continuing Ookami Shounen and Seito Kaichou on a monthly basis, as well as finally restarting Moyashimon with v06 up next.

Love is a Fight Worth Winning!

Here's Nisekoi Boyfriend lovely chapter 5, which is the end of the story for these characters. Also included are a couple of small bonus manga Ataru Yamamoto did for Nisekoi Boyfriend a little before she did this sequel. All that's left in the volume is the Yowamushi Kareshi sequel one-shot.

That Special Someone!

Finally, after delaying this since the volume came out back in April, we now have time to work on Nisekoi Boyfriend lovely, the sequel to Ataru Yamamoto's Nisekoi Boyfriend mini series released as a couple of chapters in a volume back in 2014, although she also released some doujins for the series, one of which we did. Nisekoi Boyfriend lovely is longer than the original series at 5 chapters this time (plus a couple of small bonus extras), which constitutes most of the content in the volume. The last 35 pages in this volume are a continuation of the Yomamushi Kareshi to Rokudenashi one-shot from the previous volume. So in this release, we have the first two chapters of Nisekoi Boyfriend lovely.

Cross-dressing Will Open the Door to Happiness!

If you thought those two chapters of Nisekoi Boyfriend were the end of the story, then you were only half right! That was it for the volume release, but surprisingly, Ataru Yamamoto drew an additional doujin as an epilogue which she released almost exactly one month ago called Henshin Shichau. It's very short, and is non-H. We first learned about it when Yamamoto posted about it on Pixiv, and she's also posted a couple other releases related to Nisekoi Boyfriend, including some color illustrations found here and here.

In addition to that, we also finally got a chance to acquire an old doujin from 2011 by Mizunomoto called Hybrid Boy Returns!, which serves as a bonus story to the two Hybrid Boy one-shots released via the Josou Shounen volumes. As with the other doujin, this is also non-H, but is somewhat ecchi. If you never read the other Hybrid Boy one-shots, you can get them here: [Chapter 1] [Chapter 2].

Come With Me If You Want to Love!

It took us a few days, but we're pleased to announce we're done with all three of the one-shots from Nisekoi Boyfriend's volume. The first is Yomamushi Kareshi to Rokudenashi (A Cowardly Boyfriend and a Good-for-nothing). Keishi is a college student fed up with his mischievous boyfriend's unhealthy attitude towards sex and wants to have a more normal love life.

The second is Kimi to Boku de Chouchou Musubi o (A Ribbon Made of You and Me). Hanao notices that a short guy in his class named Koino is often looking at him, and Hanao suspects that he likes him. Hanao decides to show Koino what he thinks about love.

The third is Usotsuki to Happy End o (A Happy End with a Liar). Keita Hirono is popular among girls for his good looks, and enjoys their attention, but after he gives some advice to Ogata, a loner who spends much of his time reading alone, Keita suddenly finds all the girls gravitating to Ogata. The description of the third one may not sound like a BL story, but there isn't much else that can be said without giving practically the whole story away, so that's essentially the setup.

So with that, we've come to the end of what Ataru Yamamoto has to offer for now. Hopefully we'll be seeing more of her work in the future. And of course, thanks for all the wonderful comments! We're always trying to bring you the very best that manga has to offer.

Honesty is the Key!

After much anticipation, and probably the most comments we've gotten on a post in months (thanks a lot, by the way!), we are pleased to present part 2 of Nisekoi Boyfriend. As mentioned before, there are three other BL one-shots in the same volume, and although they aren't gender bender-related, we are going to do them.

And what's also a very historic day for Hachimitsu Scans, Nisekoi Boyfriend has made it to the top of Baka-Updates' weekly ranking, which we believe is the first time something we've scanlated has reached the No. 1 spot, so thanks for all your support!

Full Moon Rhapsody!

Today, we are happy to present a small project we recently picked up: Nisekoi Boyfriend by up-and-coming BL author Ataru Yamamoto. The manga is actually a two-part story compiled in a volume also containing a few of Yamamoto's other, unrelated one-shots. In Nisekoi Boyfriend, Soutarou Inugami is a shy and reserved high schooler interested in anime and manga. Although content with his lot in life, Soutarou also wouldn't mind having a fateful encounter with a cute girl someday. Lucky for him, he comes home from school one day to find a girl sitting at his doorstep who he's never seen before, but who happens to have the same red earrings as Meguru Satoi, a cool and good-looking guy at his school.
