Occult Trap Mixers!

Rounding up our September releases, these are three more one shots from volume 8, Melon Group, introduced in order of decreasing page count, from 16, to 8, to merely 4 (not counting the author pages). Funnily enough, the shorter the title, the longer the work, and vice versa. The first is Okaken!! by Nariyuki Hazumi, the same author as Doppel! we released. Kurono joins a club called Okaken, thinking it's a club for people who like the occult. However, he soon finds this is not the case. If you've read Doppel!, you'll probably like Okaken!! more (I did).

The second is Doushite Kou Natta by Hiro Haraya. A boy is asked by his sister to cross-dress and come to a mixer she planned.

The third is Hajimari wa Itsumo Totsuzen..., and for such a long title you'd think it'd deserve more than 4 pages, but oh well. It's by Madoka Hoshino, and has a similar plot to Doushite Kou Natta. In this one, a boy is asked by his sister to take her place at a mixer.

To answer the anon's question about the file formatting, there is a method to our madness, even if it seems arbitrary. Saving to PNG is better for normal black and white manga pages, while JPG is better for color. That's just how it is, so we're not gonna change the formatting.

And now for a final note. Our next release probably won't come for another week, which, if all goes well, will coincide with the arrival of Kuragehime volume 8 and our other stuff. So enjoy these one-shots, and we'll see you in October!

Maids, Underwear, and Ghosts!

Here's three more one-shots from the eighth Josou Shounen volume. The first is Mezame no Ippo? by Miyuki Nakayama. When Yuki is asked by his girlfriend Chiaki to work at her maid cafe, he can't refuse.

The second is Made in Otome by Kinu Arikawa. Kazuya Otomein's mother has decided that he'll be the next president of her lingerie company Made in Otome, so he transfers into a girl's school to better understand girls and lingerie. This one's told in 4-koma format.

The third is Ore to Josou to Yuurei to!? by Shimesaba. Tooru talks to a ghost of a boy and finds out he wanted to cross-dress before he died. So, Tooru goes to his trap friend to figure out a way to let the ghost pass on.

And now for an update on the ninth Josou Shounen volume, Apple Group. There are four series that got more chapters: Zenryoku "Otome", Kasukabe Koukou Josou-bu, Kokuhaku, and Josou Debut. I am very surprised to see the latter three got more chapters, but am happy nonetheless. So look forward to more from those!

To answer the anon's question, we do not have any intention of translating H doujins.

Ducks and Marmalade

Continuing where we left off, here's two more one-shots from volume 8, Melon Group. The first is Ichinichi dake no Kanojo (Girlfriend for Just One Day) by Yuzuhi. Kaoru Asano wants to give his childhood friend Daisuke Segawa what he wants for his birthday. The thing is, Daisuke wants to go on a date with a girl.

The second one is called Marmalade Boy by Bau. An older brother is concerned about his odd behavior when around his younger trap brother. This one's very short at 8 pages.

Just as Planned: More Traps!

Today we have the second and third installments of our previously released Josou Debut one-shot by Emiri. Since it's been a little while from that release, you may want to go back and re-read the first one-shot, though it's not entirely necessary. The second one-shot, Zoku Josou Debut, was in volume 7, Plum Group. The third one-shot, Josou Debut Shita Ato, was in volume 8, Melon Group, our first release from that volume. As mentioned before, the ninth volume, Apple Group, will be out in a few days, and we're eager to see what'll be in it.

Also, as Kuragehime volume 8 is now out, we'll start on that as soon as we get the volume, which should be in early October. We can't wait to get started on it again, as it's been about 4 months since we last worked on it. As we used to, we'll be releasing it with chapters from Usotsuki Lily volume 5 back to back. It's also a funny coincidence that our restarting of those two manga will coincide with our one-year anniversary of being a scanlation group. My how the time flies when you're scanlating manga.

Hungly for More Traps!?

Today we have a couple more one-shots from the seventh Josou Shounen anthology, Plum Group. The first is Osananajimi Rival, another one-shot by Mari Manishi, the author of Henshin! we released before. Kento Hiiragi is rivals with his childhood friend Nao Fujikawa, a girl his age. When she starts becoming more like a girl, he takes this as a challenge.

The second one-shot is Dousei Chuu! by Benny's, the author of Hitomeboressu!! that we did. When Shinya's uncle and aunt go overseas, he has to take care of his two younger cousins, Tsubasa Fujisaki and his younger brother Subaru. However, he's surprised to find both cross-dressing.
