Ring-a-Ding-Ding!

Moving ever closer to the end of the volume, here's chapter 32 of Usotsuki Lily, the longest chapter we've had in a while at 34 pages. As before with color title pages, you can see the color version here on the left side about halfway down.

Jellyfish Memories

Beginning with our November releases, chapter 44 of Kuragehime will be the last main chapter for a few months until the release of volume 9, which should be in January or February. We'll finish up the volume 8 extras next week, though. I wish they would go back to having 6 chapters per volume; 5 just isn't enough. The chapter title comes from the 1978 Japanese film Furimukeba Ai (If She Looks Back, It's Love).

Love and Cross-dressing is in the Air

And now for the thrilling conclusion of the previous chapter in Usotsuki Lily chapter 31.

And Then There Were Jellyfish!

As expected, here's the next chapter of Kuragehime, chapter 43. The chapter title comes from Agatha Christie's classic 1939 novel And Then There Were None, though I am unsure why.

There was one small issue with the translation of a joke on pg. 100, pg. 4 of this chapter, where Tsukimi brings up the manga Moyashimon. It makes no sense in English because the joke is lost in translation, but I thought I'd explain it here anyway. Nisha says a line about making clothes with more normal designs, and she uses the wording "dezain mon" (as she has a Kansai accent). Tsukimi gets confused about this wording, and wonders if it's similar to "Moyashimon" as they sound similar. Not coincidentally, Moyashimon and Kuragehime are both published by Kodansha.

Cross-dressing Birthdays!

Usotsuki Lily chapter 30 is done. Volume 5 is shaping out to be pretty good, it seems.
