To the Ends of the Earth!


Finally, here's chapter 91 of Usotsuki Lily with the end of volume 14, including Komura's very wordy afterword. With this, we have officially completed 15 volumes of Usolily! And although the manga is ending soon, there are still 14 main chapters left in (we assume) two more volumes, in addition to another volume for Boy's Lily. How can this manga end in only two more volumes? It feels like there's still so much more to go into, especially now that we've entered this arc. As for volume 15, it will be out in April, and we might get to it in May, but if not, probably June; we'll see.

As a side note, there is an interesting figure that appears in the afterword. Komura mentions that Usolily volumes have an initial printing below 1/10 of Kimi ni Todoke. This is actually fairly accurate, going by recent sales figures which show that Kimi ni Todoke outsold Usolily by almost a factor of 13:1 in October (Usolily is 33rd on that list).

Coming up next: the rest of Sweet Magic Syndrome volume 2, and also, Comic Rex just came out, so we'll be doing a new chapter of Himegoto soon, too.

Magic Comes in All Shapes, Sizes and Tastes!


In trying to deal with some of our backlog before we get back to the rest of Usotsuki Lily volume 14, today we are releasing chapters 12 through 17 of Sweet Magic Syndrome, which is about the first half of volume 2.

This is also a relatively timely release, since it was just announced that Kiniro Mosaic (another 4-koma published by Houbunsha) is getting a second anime season. Also, if you didn't know this already, Sakura Trick runs in the same magazine as Sweet Magic Syndrome (in fact, they both started in the magazine's debut issue). And on a related note, the anime of Kanojo ga Flag o Oraretara airs next month, and Cuteg illustrates the original light novels. So who knows, maybe we'll be seeing an anime of SMS next year or something. Hey, we can dream, can't we? The rest of SMS v02 will follow after Usolily v14 is done.
