This week’s poll winner:

Absolute Witch won by far! It seems that we really need to finish that one soon XD. This week’s poll includes my section’s projects: “Slaves Division no.1″ [I'm a Bleach fan so don't judge! @.@]. Our section’s been kinda inactive, since I’ve been in exams till recently, and that’s the reason why the projects listed in the poll seemed to have gotten less love lately. I’ll do everything I can to make them active again! ^^
Now, a little about the projects that didn’t get included in the poll; the reason is:
1. They are a joint with another group and we can’t determine the speed for releasing them based on our staff alone.
2. The staff doesn’t want to concentrate on it or the title is dropped/on hiatus by the author [only Hissing and Dear my Girls are included here].

And in the end, but not unimportant:

Now…I don’t want to brag, but our server is quite expensive. Direct downloads and online reader don’t come for free and we need to pay each month 100$ for it. Ok, so why is the goal 200$? We usually spend the rest on buying manga. The titles we wanted to buy this month include: Reimei no Arcana volume 9, Perfect Girl Evolution volume 30, Limit volume 5 and 6, Torikae Fuukaden volume 1-3 and some oneshots. Last month we bought: Masca bonus volumes and the sequel, Blue Bird, Chiro star Project and Forget About Love. Hope some of you will be happy for our purchase; even though we bought only manhwas this next time we’ll buy only manga. It’s cheaper if we get them all from the same provider. Well, now raws come in my second worries as it seems this month we might be unable to pay even for our host. If that happens we could go off-line. Please don’t let this site die!!! If you can spare a dollar please help us out! We’re forever grateful to our donors!!! *bow*

And……we’re getting to the treats. This week we have a special double release campaign! XD
1. Absolute Witch v09 chapter 16C-16B [Oh...I loved the romance!!! ^^]
2. Crimson Hero v16 chapter 63-64 [And the competitions have started!]
3. Goong v24 chapter 159+extra and v25 chapter 160 [Because ch 159 ends in such a cliffhanger @.@.]
4. Hikoukigumo v02 chapter 04-05 [It's time to find out a little about the past...]
5. Sweety Gem v03 chapter 12-13A [Sweet, just like the title describes it XD.]
6. Nocturne v04 chapter 24 [Couldn't get a double release from this one, but I hope you'll enjoy this short chapter.]
7. Perfect Girl Evolution v29 chapter 118 [Same as above!]

Enjoy reading them!

I guess the majority’s happy with this. This week we’ll have another vote but now with project from my team. Slowly getting the system? Indeed, lotsa releases are awaiting you.~ Don’t forget that you can all vote up to 4 projects. It’s not a must, but if you can’t decide on one title, then feel free to choose more.

Of course releases are not possible without staff and we never can have enough of them. (Yes, now comes the part I’m whining about not having enough staff.) I’m rather missing staff on new projects which would be:

Berry Dynamite: Translator, Proofreader, Cleaner
Blue Bird: Translator, Proofreader
Brundage no Mahou no Shiro: Proofreader, Cleaner, Typesetter
Chiro Star Project: Proofreader, Cleaner, Typesetter
Chronicles of the Grim Peddler: Proofreader, Typesetter
Itsukasei no Mestubou Syndrome:  Translator
Koizora – Setsunai Koimonogatari: Translator, Proofreader
Ookami no Gohoubi: Translator, Proofreader, Cleaner

If you’re interested, please apply!

Lat said so much last time so I think I’m excused by having the minimum rant. So here are the projects, have fun and don’t forget to comment, I find lots of them amusing actually, especially the “When xy will come out?” – it always makes me grin a bit on the inside. Aaaaanyway, projects:

~ Amakusa 1637 v04 chapter 16 [It didn't won the poll, but we had this ready for some time now. And this is a very interesting story. The first volume is a little boring, but it gets really good later on. This one deserves more attention!]

~ Anata ga Megane wo Hazushitarav01 chapter 03 [A new cute oneshot for you guys to enjoy. Joint with the nice people over at HaruHime!]

~ Dream Fantasia v02 chapter 08 [Beautiful art like always and starting with volume 3 this beautiful manga will be released in high quality scans.]

~ Galism v03 chapter 13 [Joint with Transcendence. I know you've been waiting for it~

~ Yoru Cafe v02 chapter 08 [Joint with Transcendence. Should get more releases soon.]

~ Honey Bitter v04 chapter 17 [As one of the winners from our poll, here it is: a new chapter from the loved project!]

~ Keishichou Tokuhanka 007 v04 chapter 12A [I guess you weren't expecting this to get here today. A present from ayne's headquarters. ]

~ Pine in the Flower Garden chapter 05 [A project so suited for our wacky staff. Try this one as well. It's a very funny story!]

~ Triangle v02 chapter 08-09 [And here we have another completed project!!! Will probably make you cry, but unlike most of our titles this doesn't have a bad ending. It's sad so few have tried this manga so far. I'm hoping more will try it now that it's completed.]

~ Perfect Girl Evolution v29 chapter 116 [And our number 1 winner comes in last in today's release, I'm sure you'll enjoy it either way!]

We’re sorry we were unable to release Ciel as well, unfortunately we lost our korean translator for this title. Ironical is that we lost her now when we were able to get the HQ raws for this. If any korean translator is reading this and is interested in helping out please let us know!!! We have fast staff for this, just a dedicated translator is missing.

P.S.: Read online on our site!

Also, as you all know by now (hopefully) we have split Evil Flowers up into 4 ‘teams’ so that we can get more releases out to you wonderful people ^^ It also means that it’s easier to manage the workload And…. that also means we can work through projects faster and pick up new ones! I am totally obsessed with picking and choosing new projects and I can tell you that our teams have picked some AWESOME ones, which will hopefully come your way very soon! hehe <3 

Just so you can get to know our teams a bit better they are:

Ayne’s Headquarters  (as you may have guessed- this is ayne xD) 

Lat’s Order (yup that’s me- and yes I know I know it’s hinted at Harry Potter (Order of the Phoenix) geek… yes… I know)

Slaves Division No.1 (heheh this is Tessa)

The Boss’ Team (this is….. X5ga of course!)

But, this post is by me- so I offer you a fun and exciting poll for today ladies and gentleman! If you look on the right hand side of the website you will see this poll with ALL of my team’s current projects listed. Essentially, you are able to choose up to 4 projects from this list (you don’t have to choose 4 but this is the maximum) that you would like to see released more. Whichever THREE projects win the poll, I will get my team to concentrate on and you will see lots of releases coming your way from these projects xD Well this is the plan anyway hehe How does that sound? Nice right? xD But be warned- you only have one week to vote for my projects! 

I would also like to say thank you again to everyone who has donated! We are so close to our January target! We still have some time left to go, so fingers crossed we will reach it again! Thank you all so much! <3

Also thank you to everyone who has been leaving comments! I couldn’t believe it when I got back from my travels- so many had been left! Thank you all SO much! It’s really great to look at and read through- please keep it up! We love you for it! And it gives us motivation to continue releasing more ;D hehehe

And finally we still need more staff! Want to see more releases? Yup? Well help us! hehehe Even if you think you can’t do it- please give it a try! I was like this 5 years ago: um-ing and ah-ing about whether I could clean a manga. Then I just tried and practiced and now I’m a PRer, Editor, Scanner, QCer and now an admin/ Team Leader for the wonderful Evil Flowers! I was a complete newbie when I started- I literally repelled technology (at school I successfully destroyed 8 computers by accident) – like seriously! So please give our tests a go, practice and one day you could be helping with our releases And we are lovely I promise! *insert cackle*

For example, my team needs:

A PRer and Editor (or Cleaner & Typesetter) for Torikae Fuukaden (a new project!)

A cleaner for For The Sake of Dulcinea

Also I would really like another PR!!! I have a few projects in need of one! Please post in the recruitment section on the forum with your test and ask to be in my team ^^ so I know who you are and can grab you xD

I will also undoubtedly need some more Translators and Editors when I start to pick up new projects too ^^ And you never know, if you’re good and give lots of comments (hehe) I might just let you guys know one or two of my future projects…. ;D

Wow… 2 weeks away and I’m really rambling… eek… sorry! So… moving on to what you’ve all been waiting for I’m sure…

Our Releases! (we seem to be releasing a lot from Volumes 2 and 4 today! XD)

~ Bird of Youth Volume 2 Chapter 2  [Awww this is going back to how the 'rooster' and 'cute little bird' met! kawaii! I just love the turtle in this... you'll see what I mean ;D]

~ Honey Bitter Volume 4 Chapter 16  [I love this project but there is so much text and editing involved- it's hard work xD This chapter is fantastic! Creepy though...!] 

~ Nocturne Volume 4 Chapter 22 [Sorry for the long wait on this project!]

~ Oboreru Knife Volume 4 Chapter 16  [Sorry again for the long wait on this one! We are working as hard as we can!]

~ Skyhigh Shinshou Volume 2 Chapter 6a  [There's something I love about this project- it's so sad as well as being creepy in places you know?]

Some more releases to chew on:

~ Ikenai Hokenshitu v01 chapter 03 [Joint with Intercross. I swear editing this took a year; this girl shakes too much! XD]

~ Absolute Witch v09 chapter 15H [The first chapter from volume 9, but the last part from chapter 15. Awesome, right?!]

~ Pine in the Flower Garden chapter 04 [So funny and relaxing. ]

Please comment! <3

It’s been a long time since I last posted here! I hope everyone had a great Xmas & New Years and have been enjoying all the releases we brought to you~ Regarding our new teams, everyone is still trying to get used to it but everything is going smoothly so hopefully we’ll be releasing frequently throughout this year! Once we’ve completed a few more projects on our list, we’ll be taking on some new ones which I’m really excited about~ Hope you guys are too~ x3

We are still recruiting! Please join us if you think you can help

I’m going to keep this short, so…here’s today’s release, enjoy:

~ Ciel v11 chapter 11d
~ Crimson Hero v15 chapter 62
~ Dear School Gang Leader v03 chapter 14.5
~ For the Sake of Dulcinea v01 chapter 3b
~ Masca v12 chapter 04
~ The Queen’s Knight v13  chapter 01

Mmmmoooooorrrrreeee:

~ Crimson Hero v15 side story
~ For the Sake of Dulcinea v01 chapter 04
~ Goong v24 chapter 157
~ Masca v12 chapter 05-09 [END!]

Added a little later:

~ Absolute Witch v08 extra

Yup, that’s the end of Masca, but don’t be sad; 2 bonus volumes are coming soon [although they are both prequels to the main story ^^]. Also [not 100% confirmed as a future project] there is Masca: the Kings. This one seems to be a sequel for Masca and we would really want to work on it. The only problem is that we were unable to find a place where we can buy the raws. If you guys have any leads please let us know!

Read our releases HERE!

We hope we’ll be more active like this and even if 1 admin is gone the rest can still release from their projects. The sad news is that this month both me and Lat are away. Lat is away in India till the end of January and I’m starting my exams next week and will keep on going till the middle of February.  So our projects might get stalled or have slower releases, please bear with us and have patience.

Also, introducing the other admins [some of them you probably know some still work from the shadows XD]: Cheesecake [Head Chinese Translator], Kirie [Head Scanner], misserybw [Head Editor], Namiumma [Head Korean Translator], Sora [Head Japanese Translator], Deus [Site Manager] and Tamashii [Server, Host, Downloads and Online Reader Manager]. Love them all as they work very hard to bring you many releases! ^^ Also, check up our staff page [still in construction since forever], but the main and active members remain there . Thank you ayne for doing such a great job with it!

Ranting a little more: you guys stopped commenting again even thought our releases increased in quantity. Do you guys dislike mass releases? If yes let me know and I’ll get back to 1-2 chapters every 2-3 days.

And before I forget: we got the raws from Canaan [I mentioned a few posts ago about our korean raws that the admin from Eclipse was supposed to provide us with]. I’m not very excited about these because we had already bought again most of them and the title I was interested in the most [Masca Bonus Volumes] was not there… Well, enlist we got Dear Waltz and Funny money rich girl so now there’s a very big possibility we’ll pick them up again in the future.

We’re getting close to 900 releases, that is very exciting for me and probably for the rest of the staff as well. I think this week we’ll reach that number ^^.

We’re still recruiting editors [cleaners and typesetters] and quality checkers! And a few proofreaders could help. But please don’t apply if you can’t do enlist 1 chapter per week. Thank you!

And here are the long awaited releases [today's list is a little more surprising ]:

~ Ghost Hunt v12 [Yes, you're reading right, we've finished and releasing the entire volume. This was a pain to QC and I'm a little disappointed in the ending, but I did read v1-11 in a rush just to be able to QC this last one so maybe I didn't get all the deeper meaning of this story. Anyway, enjoy this treat. We've been working for almost a year on this >.<.]

~ Dear School Gang Leader v03 chapter 12.5, 13 and 14.5 [Another dead one sees the light! I would like to thank our joint partner Egad! A Prima Donna Scans! for helping us release the first 2 chapters and a very special thanks to Rae, the only editor brave enough to accept to work on this. And be at ease fans, we won't take another year to release from this, Rae is a very dedicated and reliable editor and I trust she'll bring you frequent releases from this project from now on . And, we should not forget about one of the most patient translator I have ever seen: JinHea! Not only does she have patience while translating this full of text and SFX manga, but she never complained, not even once, for the past year regarding our slow progress for this title. She had translated these chapters ages ago and she's still ahead of us with 4 chapters, but we'll get there...we'll get there XD. You are amazing *hugs tight*!]

~ Toshi Densetsu v02 chapter 05 [The urban legend sees the light as well.  We decided to do our best and finish chapter 5 before the manga decides to curse us for moving so slow with it >.<.]

~ Masca v11 chapter 07 and v12 chapter 1 [So close to the ending! But be prepared people, volume 12 has 300 pages. Enough to make x5ga want to cry while QC-ing. XD]

~ Goong v24 chapter 154 [Because i know you've missed her .]

New stuff!

~ Masca v12 chapter 2 [Rea wants Caien back?]

~ Goong v24 chapter 155 [for all you Goong junkies out there. If you are nice and comment you might get ch 156 sooner than you think XD.]

~ The Queen’s Knight v13 chapter 01 [No, it's not dead X_X!]

~ Pine in the Flower Garden chapter 03 [Probably my favorite one from our new titles. It's so much fun to read this. too bad the chapters are so short .]

~ Dear Diary v02 chapter 09 [And with this chapter we're ending our joint with Eclipse. Starting with chapter 10 we're release this on our own. Hopefully it will go faster like this. Volume 3 was translated almost 2 years ago >.<.]

And today we add:

~ Masca v12 chapter 03 [Freshly QC-ed XD.]

~ Clover v06 chapter 20-22 [Wah...almost a year went without us being able to release a single chapter from this >.<. Hope this makes it up for it. Ch 20 and 21 are full of drama, but ch 22 ends nice. Let me know what you think .]

~ Goong v24 chapter 156 [And that's it for a while. Don't expect ch 157 sooner than next week @.@.]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE READ OUR RELEASES FROM OUR READER!!!! WE CAN’T STOP ALL THE ONLINE READERS OUT THERE THAT ARE GETTING RICH ON OUR BACK WHILE DISRESPECTING US, REMOVING CREDITS AND STAMPING OUR WORK, BUT WE CAN AT LEAST NOT HELP THEM GET EVEN RICHER! SO PLEASE USE OUR ONLINE READER TO READ THESE CHAPTERS!

P.S.: I think you guys misunderstood. You don’t need to read on our online reader if you prefer to download [why do you think we offer so many download mirrors?], but if you prefer reading online please do it on our site instead of going to mangafox, mangareader and the rest of them [except Batot]. Thank you! ~

Enjoy them! ^^ And don’t forget to leave a comment or 2 here and there!

This is not everything, but I couldn’t upload it all, will add more the following days . Before I get to the releases I want to wish all our staff [present and past] a wonderful new year filled with joy, happiness and health! ^^ Thank you so much for all your hard work this year. you’ve been great! *hugs tight*

Sorry for my plain message…I’m really not feeling the Christmas spirit right now so I’ll just skip to the releases:

Enjoy reading!

Getting to our other problems: we’re still in desperate need of staff for some of our projects. Most urgent are:

~ We need a Korean Translator for Evyione!

~ A Japanes or a Korean Transaltor for Crimson Hero volume 16, 19 and 20 [we have chinese raws for volume 17 and 18], but especially for v16.

~ An editor for Forget About Love.

~ A Chinese translator for Koizora.

~ A Korean translator for Masca the 2 bonus volumes.

~ A Japanese transaltor for Piece of Cake!

~ A Japanese, Korean or a Chinese transaltor for Renjou Sparkle. Really, we have all sorts of raws, just come and translate this!

~ A Chinese translator for Renjou Sparkle.

Editors and Cleaners in general! @.@

Well, getting to the best part, here are the releases and the 2 completed projects I promised you guys in the title!

~ Angel at War v05 chapter 3-4 [Thanks to SMM for helping us finish this project! It was a nice one . ]

~ Arcana v11 chapter 23a and 23b [ We originally planned to release this in 2 parts, but then we decided to release this all together to not make you suffer too much while waiting for the last chapter. This was a great project, hard to translate and proofread at times, but still, a very good manhwa! ]

~ Crush on You v05 chapter 15 [Getting close to then ending for this one as well. Hope you are enjoying it! This one's a rather unique shounen-ai, definitely doesn't follow the recipe!]

~ Goong v23 chapter 152 [Yes, more princess power for you. 4 volumes left to go...aka a long way XD.]

~ Im Looking for the Princess v02 chapter 09 [In case the short chapter from Goong wasn't enough for you, grab this one as well. This is a light read . ]

~ Masca v11 chapter 03 [I don't even know what to say about this chapter, it's not sad, nor is it happy and something big happens. Oh, the drama! XD]

~ Renjou Sparkle v02 chapter 06 [And we're ending this release with something cute!]

Till next time, enjoy the releases!

Such an event needs to be celebrated!!! Thank you so much, everyone that donated! We’ll do our best to secure a lot of presents for our readers thanks to you guys. You have Evil Flowers’ staff eternal appreciation. Thank you for helping us go on!

A special release for you guys:

~ Amakusa 1637 v04 chapter 15 [For all you historical fans out there!]

~ Dream Fantasia v02 chapter 07 [The art is just so pretty! Definitely one of the main reasons why I usually prefer manhwa over manga. ^^]

~ I’m Looking for the Princess v03 chapter 10 [Wow, I think this is the first time in a shoujo title when the heroine finds the hero all beaten up and just leaves him there. Enlist she took the cat XD.]

~ Masca v11 chapter 04 [For a second I actually thought something good was going to happen. It's not bad either, but not really what I was expecting. ]

~ Oboreru Knife v04 chapter 15 [Did I ever mention how much I love this title and how great it is? This chapter is just breathtaking, the way the mangaka is able to describe her emotions...I'm just stunned! I'll do my best to bring you ch 16 this week. You guys deserve it after such a long wait. ]

~ Pine in the Flower Garden chapter 01 [ A new project for you guys. This one's our first webcomic. Hope you will like it. We'll have weekly releases from it ]

~ Rakuen Route v02 chapter 08+extra [Very cute project! ^^ If only we could find a dedicated translator for this one. *sigh*]

~ Renjou Sparkle v02 chapter 07 [This one's actually starting to develop pretty nice. ]

~ Sayonara no Jikan v01 chapter 04 [A new oneshot for you guys! ^^ This project is almost done also: 1 ch left to go.]

~ Shite, Okeba Yokatta Koukai v01 chapter 06 [A realistic ending. Kinda short, the chapter, but enjoyable ^^. And with this we have another completed project. Should I change the title to "3 completed projects"? XD]

@More cookies@:

~ Hockey Club v13 chapter 50+extra [A funny and refreshing chapter just for you!]

~ Happy Rush v01 chapter 04 [We're getting close to the end. 1 chapter left to go .]

~ Kiss & Never Cry v04 chapter 19 [Ah, it's been a while since we released from this one. Enjoy it! ]

~ Masca v11 chapter 05 [Moving fast towards the finish line! ]

~ I’m Looking for the Princess v03 chapter 11 [Ah...weird chapter based on the character's decision >.<.]

Enjoy the releases and don’t forget to comment! ^___^

A motivational picture I made after reaching to another sad conclusion. Remember how I kept talking to you guys about us needing to receive some raws from Korea from our raw provider? They included the Masca bonus volumes, Ciel, Dear Waltz and a lot more… Well, those raws will never get to us. After the raw provider kept telling me she’ll send them since June this year, I’ve finally reached the conclusion that she never will. She told me in October that she shipped them, but they never got to Kirie, our scanner from USA. The raw provider was Canaan from Eclipse Scanlation and I invested a lot of money in those titles, another reason to be very upset regarding this turnout. Now, I don’t want to place the blame on her entirely, maybe the raws were lost, maybe something else happened that I don’t know of, but she hasn’t replied to my emails to inform me of such maters. I do thank her for all the raws she has provided us so far. Thanks to her we were able to extend our “high quality scans manhwa business”, since Korean titles are harder to find than Japanese ones. I just want you to know that we’ll never get those raws and I’ve finally decided to move on after 5 months of waiting. You guys probably gave up also >.<. So, now I need to get to the bad part, the raws that never got to us will make us drop some projects and release in medium quality others. Here is the list of updates, hope it won’t make you guys cry too much:

~ Ciel: volume 11-14 will be released in medium quality using the raws from the net as they look very decent. Volume 15-18: raising money to buy raws. [Side information: the reason why this was stalled was also because the translator had some personal problems and she'll need to be away for a while, but we were able to find a replacement so hopefully this great project will be alive again! ^^];

~ Dream Fantasia: Grumpy is providing us some medium quality raws for the rest of the volumes [volume 3-7].

~ Evyione: volume 5-6 will be released using the raws from the net. Volume 7-9: raising money to buy raws.

~ Forget About Love: volume 3-4, we still have HQ raws provided by Canaan for these 2. Volume 5-7: raising money to buy raws.

~ Funny money Rich girl: we have no one working on it right now and since resources are so limited we’ll drop this and concentrate on buying raws for our active projects. There are some chances we’ll pick this up again when we’ll finish buying raws for all our urgent projects.

~ Dear Waltz: I love this project very much, but sadly, no one is working on it right now and since I decided to concentrate on our active projects and this one has no decent raws we can use, we’re also dropping this. We’ve been keeping this project hostage for over 1 year now and I feel bad for it. If any other group has the resources to release this in good quality, feel free to take it. If by the time we’ll get back on our feet this won’t be on anyone’s list, we’ll definitely pick it back up. But for now, this is doped.

~ Masca: Volume 13 and 14 [aka the 2 bonus volumes]. since all the releases for this were HQ we’re going to buy these last 2 volumes and not use the online raws that are medium quality. So, the 2 bonus volumes: raising money to buy raws.

~ Spam Mail Hunter: volume 4-7 will be released in medium quality using the raws from the net. Volume 8-10: raising money to buy raws because the online scans are impossible to use.

Also, from our ‘future projects’ list we’ll be erasing:  Happy & Murphy, Hush, They’re Not Kissing and a Cat, Because the Forsythia Flowers are Blooming, Vitamin, Orange Bubble Gum, My Bloody School Life, Ice Kiss; all raws bought through Canaan that never got to us. If we’ll ever decide to buy these titles again I can’t tell you now, for now we’ll be concentrating on our ongoing titles and the ones we do have raws for.

As you can see, we have a lot of catching up to do with buying raws at the moment. I don’t even want to think about all the money we lost in this “business” . That brings me to only one thing I can ask you guys to do right now and I hope I’m not asking at a bad time:

I got inspired to make this picture while I was QC-ing Hockey Club chapter 48. It’s as funny as ever XD. Even though the site was down these week we weren’t slacking off!! The staff have prepared a lot of “yummy” releases for you guys. Almost a little for everyone. I wish I could have QC-ed more, but next week I have an important project to finish and present. It’s the first half of my college graduation paper or something like that ^^. So that thing has been keeping me busy also. I will still QC, just a little slower than usual. We really need experienced quality checkers to help out, even a single one will still be better than having me, lat, x and angel QC all this alone. 4 QC-ers trying to keep up with 20+ editors. And some of them are fast too!! That’s a little unfair, right? So come and help us! Plus, I’m sure you all want to read the chapters before they get released, right? *throws a cookie at the hungry mob and hopes she’ll be able to catch a QC-er with it* Well, that’s it with my boring chit-chat. I’m finally getting to the good stuff, the very delayed and awaited release! Today we have for you:

~ Absolute Witch v08 chapter 15G [This one's just getting better and better! ^^]

~ Dear my girls v08 chapter 30 [Took me forever to QC this one . My main reason is the lack of enthusiasm because I know chapter 31 will end with a cliffhanger and this manhwa seems to be on hiatus.]

~ Hockey Club v13 chapter 48 [Soooo funny!!!! I'm not even expecting romance from this one anymore. I'm just enjoying the ride XD.]

~ Happy Rush v01 chapter 03 [Cute chapter, but she's a little slow ^^.]

~ Honey Bitter v04 chapter 14 [Good news for Honey Bitter fans: we're also going to do the "Deep Clear" volume. I found HQ raws for it and from the raws it seemed like a really nice story.]

~ Masca v11 chapter 01 [Gahh...depressing . ]

~ Origami v02 chapter 09 [another completed project! *throws confetti*]

~ Papillon v08 chapter 38 [Getting closer and closer to the end. It's a little predictable, but sweet. ]

~ Platinum Garden v09 chapter 37 [Funny and cute, a nice combination . ]

~ Renjou Sparkle v02 chapter 05 [For your daily doze of cliche shoujo XD. It seems like it will have some evolution.]

~ Shite, Okeba Yokatta Koukai v01 chapter 01 [No, it doesn't end like this! Chapter 6 continues the story from chapter 5. Look forward to more updates! ^^]

~ Triangle v02 chapter 06 [Sad, yet sweet. A recommended project, by me!]

Enjoy reading! And don’t forget to cheer us up with a nice comment, it always helps .

Later edit!

Well, yesterday and today was a surprise when I entered the site to see that so many donations were given in such a short amount of time. Really, you people are great!!! *gives a train of cookies to all our donors* Even thought I’m super busy with my college license I just had to prepare a few chapters in order to celebrate. Sorry I can’t release more, but besides reading tons of books about managing bank risks, writing, preparing releases and sleeping I do nothing else. Well, that’s actually a lie, I also eat and today I took a long relaxing bath [I was so sick of telling myself I only have time for a shower XD]. Thank you so much for supporting us after all this!!! *hugs everyone* Also, I want to use this opportunity to  clear some misunderstandings:
- Yes, we need donations, but that doesn’t mean that a warm comment won’t cheer us up also, so please don’t stop ^^.
- About a refund, of course I’ll ask Canaan to send me the money back, that is if she’ll ever reply. About tracking her down I don’t think it’s possible nor do I think it’s worth it for 300$. And when I gave her the money I knew the risks associated with that. Also, I trusted her because she sent us in the past raws for Masca, Absolute Witch, The Queen’s Knight, Real Purple and a lot more. I still don’t quite understand why she decided not to send us the raws. And did I mention that raws in Korea can cost even 1$ each book? That’s the main reason why I sent her such a big sum [besides trust]. I was greedy and bought a lot of manhwas. I’m very sorry! I know this must be very frustrating for you guys that donated and saw your money were wasted. *bows*
- We’re not dropping Dear my Girls, but this title is in hiatus since may. I really hope the manhwaka won’t decide to drop this because volume 8 ends exactly when the main story seems to start a new development.
- Canaan was not our only raw provider. We have others that still buy/scan raws for us. She was our main manhwa raw provider as she lived in Korea and getting them was easier for her. But hey, we have no one in Japan and we’re still able to bring you mangas so we’ll manage .
- We didn’t drop Evyione, Forget About Love and Spam Mail Hunter, thought I do admit we’re moving kind of slow with them. The only titles that we dropped are Funny money Rich girl and Dear Waltz [both only temporally dropped, we'll pick them up again if no other group will show interest in the next months.]

@LiLiana: no, no! We have the raws for Non Non Biyori volume 3. The only raws we lost are the ones mentioned above. Also, don’t worry about donating this month. I know it’s a bad month for donations since everyone needs money to buy Christmas presents. That’s the reason why I raised last month’s donation goal,  hoping this month I will need only the server costs, but as you can see my plans didn’t work as I expected . I’m definitely not going to blame anyone for not being able to donate and certainly not you! You are part of the few people that donate regular to us. Thank you so, so much! *hugs*

And, going to your favorite part, the releases:

~ Hockey Club v13 chapter 49 [Ah...Hana is so mean <.<. And Izumi matured a bit. You go Tamako! ^^]

~ I’m looking for the Princess v02 chapter 8 [Same old, same old.]

~ Honey Bitter v04 chapter 15 [Warning: the ending will leave you crying for more XD.]

~ Masca v11 chapter 02 [Oh my demon lord, how I wish I could save you!]

Like always, enjoy the releases! ^___^
