It's a new dawn, a new day, a new year, and we're feelin' good~

It's that time again! The time in which we welcome the new year by giving a brief break-down of where our projects are at the moment/where they are headed and where we have been.

It's been an overall productive year in 2012. We've had almost 100 chapters released this year and completed 6 projects. We've gained a few life-long friends and lost a few to the dreaded real life progress. But overall we've kept on target with most of our projects and I'm excited to see what we can accomplish in 2013! Just to give everyone a head's up before I head into this, there will be a pass hunt this release (we've had a lot of requests for one of late) so keep your peepers open to find it!

UPDATE TIME!!!!

Ano Ko to Issho - We've got through v05 c17 going through the qcing process but after that we are out of translations. So if there's anyone out there that loves this series and wants it to continue (and can translate from either korean OR japanese to english) please contact me via email. Even if you want to only contribute a chapter or two that's fine. Otherwise this project will be put on the back burner until one of our current translators wants to take it on.

What this project needs:
+ Korean OR Japanese to English Translator

Aoki Umi no Toraware Hime - We know that a lot of you are super-excited about this project (we are too) but we are working on it as quickly as we can. If you would like to see this project pick up speed then we could use an additional j-translator and an experienced cleaner or someone that can draw with photoshop. This project has quite a few hard re-draws so if you're proficient in that, then please join!

What this project needs:
+ Japanese to English Translator

Arcana - Not really a project that has a special schedule, especially since it's just a series of one-shots. It'll be released when it's released. ^^

Bitou Lollipop - Our joint partners for this project have decided to drop Bitou to focus on other projects. We are continuing it to a point. And that point will be after volume 03. After that we have no more raws, so unless someone is willing to donate volumes to us we will most likely either be dropping or majorly stalling this project. But on the upside it does have a translator working on it now, so you might have a release of it someday. ;)

What this project needs:
+ Japanese to English Translator
+ Scanner

Caramel Kiss - Good lord you people have been bugging me about Caramel Kiss lately. ^^;;
 Yes, I KNOW how long it's been. Yes, I KNOW how many chapters are left of it. Do you think I'm purposely holding it back just to mess with you? This one is actually completely translated BUT it's another project that is heavy on the re-drawing, and our editor that was working on it has blissfully retired (we love you and wish you the best!) So unless you can help in the editing department - please leave me alone about this. We will get to it when we can. (*≧m≦*)

Colorful Pallet - "I had to pull seku, who is the scanner/translator/cleaner for this project (yes, she is that awesome),  from her work on this to help me with another project. So as soon as we can this project will be back up and running." I know I said this 10 months ago, but it still holds true. 

Flower - We are dropping Flower, I just haven't gotten around to actually dropping it yet. I need to wrap up some chapters that our people have already worked on. Unless someone wants to pick this up, and then I have a few almost finished chapters and a whole volume (maybe two) translated. I just don't have the staff/interest to work on it anymore.

Issho ni Neyou yo - We have all of volume 05 translated, and we're working on editing. Could use an additional editor/cleaner to help speed things along.

What this project needs:
+ Editor/Cleaner

Life x 01 - Pretty much the exact same story as Aoki, so I'll just repost that here: We know that a lot of you are super-excited about this project (we are too) but we are working on it as quickly as we can. If you would like to see this project pick up speed then we could use an additional j-translator and an experienced cleaner or someone that can draw with photoshop. To get your prize I instructed you to 'keep your ___ open'. (fill in the blank) This project has quite a few hard re-draws so if you're proficient in that, then please join!

+ Japanese to English Translator
+ An experienced cleaner or someone that can draw with photoshop

Nounai Poison Berry - I'm currently working on qcing all of the final chapters of this volume. And then after that we've run into the problem of not having raws. So again if you would like to see this series continued, we'll need volume 02.

Thank you to Kuro for buying/scanning volume two!

What this project needs:
+ Scanner

Para Paru - Not much to say - we're still working on it. 

Piece - Ahhh~ Piece. I love this project so much but maybe I love it TOO much and that's why it's doomed. We have thru chapter 5 translated but again after that no translator. So if you are a j- OR k-translator please consider doing a chapter for us! Also this project needs some cleaning love~ so if you are experienced photoshopper please join.

What this project needs:
+ Korean OR Japanese to English Translator
+ Cleaner/Editor

Raspberry Field no Majo - Done!

And before I let you go completely, I'm going to eventually update our FAQ with this----

This image (look down) is from our project Cherries Fight (download here, read online here).  Please consider taking what it says to heart.
