…or at least I hope so. If we were to compensate for our absence we would have to compensate for…. one, two, three… *counts* ELEVEN weeks without any releases at all. That’s a lot. And I don’t think we have so many releases in store for you now… But I think we will try to compensate our hiatus to you bit by bit every week from now on.

So, for starters:

Happy Thanksgiving!
Hatsukoi ni Oboreta ch02
Hatsukoi ni Oboreta ch03 – and this chapter ends Hatsukoi ni Oboreta hope you enjoyed this series! ^^
Hana to Akuma ch10 – we’re finally dropping Hana to Akuma with this chapter. There is really no point in wasting our time on next chapters since they have been already released. Well, at least we will have more time for our other series I am aware there is no HQ release of ch02, but I’m afraid we don’t have it anymore, so we are unable to release it. But the LQ version is not bad.

fresh from the oven:

1. next chapter of Bokura wa Itsumo is on it’s way and in HQ! We’re putting this project as priority now
2. ch01 of Amai*Suppai*Horonigai (the last one) and ch03 (final) of Strawberry Kiss are the priority now, so they will be released soon as well (and two more projects completed, whew!) After them I would like to focus on Kinkyori Renai and push the series forward as well.
3. We’re doing a very… complicated *cough* joint on Number, and after we release v02 we will hand this project over to our friends who are very interested in working on it hope it will speed up the releases for you!
4. Antique Romance is once again being worked on! We had problems with HQ raws, but now everything is back on track :3 so, more AR soon as well :3
5. We’re dropping Hana to Akuma, Shout! and Shounen AR. No one seems to be interested in working on these, so no use in blocking the projects. If any group wants to continue after us, feel free to do so! =D And if no one will be interested in Shout! or Shounen AR, we might go back to them once we’re done with other, more important stuff =)

Finally, I would like to thank to all readers and staffers, who supported OT during these long months of absence on the scanlation scene. You really are the light of my day, thank you for all the encouragement, for help offers, for simply sticking with OT even when we don’t release This really means a lot.

Hello, guys I would like to wish all of you – both our wonderful staffers and readers – happy Easter! It’s a little late, but I’ve been too busy with stuffing myself with all the delicious food, cakes, sweets and eggs, I didn’t even have time to turn on my PC

We’re still in need of MORE CLEANERS!! Experience in photoshop is needed since we usually edit all SFXs in our manga. There’s a cleaners test on the right – please send me back cleaned PSD files at osuwariteam@gmail.com. Make my day and APPLYYYYYYYYYYY…

Today we’re releasing ch09 of Hana to Akuma. Klaus makes a small appearance there~~ And he even makes a stupid face at page 114 <3 (yes, I’m a helpless case of Klaus fangirling).

Hana to Akuma v02 ch09

And to all people who were mailing/msging us – yes, we know another group has picked up Hana as well. No, they didn’t ask us if we were dropping it before releasing their chapters (and we never were – that was also one of the questions ^^’ if the group is releasing less often it doesn’t necessarily mean they are DEAD. They just may be preoccupied with more important stuff ^^’). And no, we won’t make any kind of race from Hana releases (1. they don’t edit SFXs so they would be faster anyway, 2. they use mag scans so they would be faster anyway, 3. we work on more series so they would be faster anyway =P). With this I would like to close the topic of another group releasing Hana, thank you ^^’

And here I want to thank all the fans who are sticking with us even though we’re sometimes less active You have no idea how encouraging and heartwarming it is to read comments from people who download our stuff ^^ It gives us lots of power to work more~~ (and right now we’re working at full speed :3 I have edited 3 chapters only cause I was in high spirits that people are commenting on our stuff =P)

Happy Easter~~!!

PS – the picture at the beginning of the post is from Boy x Meet x Girl by Robiko. Chapter 01 of this 1 volume manga is in editing now. We’ll be doing A LOOOOT of Robiko stuff, actually… all her stuff haha xD (which means 2 volumes of oneshots and 2 ongoing series ufufufu ]:>).

*Akamaru

More releases to come.

sidenote 1: we’re updating this post with new releases cause there will be some more and I’m too lazy to write a new post every time =P

sidenote 2: I just wanted to inform you guys that I’ve made a priority list concerning our projects. Expect more Hana to Akuma, Number, Bokura wa Itsumo, Hatsukoi ni Oboreta and Hybrid Berry soon. It doesn’t mean we won’t work on other projects, it just means that the ones mentioned above will be released more often I hope you guys are not disappointed by my picks

sidenote 3: I was going through the Margaret page today and I spotted a new addition to our future projects list xD awww man, kuinni will kill me when she comes back and sees I’ve added MORE to our future projects list but oh well… Maybe I will soothe her anger away by working more… xD Anyway, I present you our new delicious future project:
Fine! by Ootani Noriko

however, we will wait for volume scans (1. we don’t buy Margaret anymore, 2. HQ scans are nicer) so no Fine! for you yet!

Heyo everyone! I hope that you have a Happy New Year! Time to throw out the old and start with the new. Of course, it’s not always the easiest and you may not want to do it at all, but it’s gonna take will and the resolution to see all your goals through to the end for the new year. Most of the time people fail. It’s all right though. There’s always next year. *pats*

Today, we bring to you a release that is strangely fitting for today. Err, tomorrow for some (me as well, it’s not New Year’s yet, just the eve). We’ll be releasing Hana to Akuma today, another cute chapter in this series. The theme for this chapter? Why, guess. It’s not that hard to find out what it is. *cough* I also think that the BibixHana pairing is creepy (I secretly support Ayame-san!), but it’s all up to whoever you like. Or, like Akamaru, to just ignore the age difference. (But no matter how I look at it, Hana is a little child! So immature. =_=;;) I feel so sorry for Ayame-san. =(

We also have a LOT of new staff members who Akamaru has been toooo lazy to introduce. I would like to thank everyone one of them on behalf of Osuwari Team. Thank you for joining our group Spork, pichu-kun, sekushibijin84, Jennitachi, mllesandy, Lunardrik, Harumi, shrimpcracker, Raeious, Fuyuka, Orichalcum, Jenn, Asahina, and anyone else who newly joined but I wasn’t informed of. We really appreciate all of your hard work! =D

*Edit* And also, thank you so much to all the staffers who have stayed up with us until this point! We couldn’t have made it this far without all of you! Have a great New Year everyone~ The best to you all.

1. Hana to Akuma ch06 – Happy New Year’s Bibi! Thanks also to Orichalcum for deciding to translate this series! Hopefully we can release more regularly~

* kuinni

P.S. Yay! The marathon is done! I don’t have to QC for a while! (cries from happiness)

Hi there, people~~
Today I have a few things I want to say, so READ before you download the release XD PLEASE XD

We seriously need help! Did you know that there are MANY ways in which you can help us?

1. We need an IRC bot – if there’s someone who could create a bot with our releases on our channel #osuwariteam on IrcHighway, we would be really happy. Sometimes when our more popular series are released, they get too many hits at once and our poor website crashes. So if you can help us by offering an IRC bot, contact Akamaru!
   
2. We’re in need of J-E translators!!! – seriously, we’re drastically understaffed here. Come and help us, I guess there are almost no manga permanently ‘taken’ in our projects so you could work on whatever you like
   
3. We need cleaners and typesetters. – but please, only those that know their way around photoshop. Even though I would like to, I don’t have enough time to both scanlate and train newbies. Maybe in the future that will change, but as for now, we have to stick to experienced staffers ^^’ And remember, we edit SFXs here
   
4. We’re searching for a first part of a Komura Ayumi oneshot called Triple Milky – it appeared in Margaret magazine a long time ago. The oneshot was split into two issues and unfortunately we started buying Margaret from the issue with the second part of the oneshot :/ We’re kind of into Komura Ayumi, so if anyone has that issue and could scan this one oneshot for us, PLEASE CONTACT US~~!!!

We’ve dropped some of our future projects due to… well, many reasons. But the projects that are there, will be released (or so I hope) so anticipate them in the future ^^ We’re also laying our eyes on some new goodies, so if we like them we’ll add them to our future list

And finally… Here’s what we have for you today. It’s a series that was sitting in our upcoming for a looong time, so long that the volume came out and we had to re-edit everything again XD Another group released this manga as well recently, but we decided we won’t drop it because of that. Just please, don’t throw tomatoes at me saying ‘you stole some other’s group’s project’ cause we didn’t, kay ^^’

Heart no Kuni no Alice v01 ch01 (it’s a HQ version but we put in colour magazine scans as well, since we thought that the ones in the volume didn’t look that great ^^’)

there was page 36 missing in the chapter but it’s now fixed

And now’s something for what you actually can throw tomatoes at me – Hana to Akuma.
I swear it will be released in next 2-3 days, or else I will give each one of you a golden lollipop, our dear readers. Hah, now I somehow can imagine how you all pray that it won’t be released XD If you had a golden lollipop… what would you do with it?

* Akamaru

Since everyone is already sick of waiting for us to release something, here are some chapters for you guys I’ll keep on updating this post with new releases, so check our page from time to time

Just click on the title to access DDL. *For those of you who can’t open .rar files, .zip files will also be linked so that you can read our releases.

1. Suki Nan Desu (.zip file) – a cute oneshot from a totally new mangaka, Isero Ayana We’ll be working on her other oneshot which appeared in Margaret some time ago as well, so be prepared! Spread the Isero Ayana love, whee~

2. Hybrid Berry ch01 (.zip file) – Finally. I was waiting for SO LONG for this manga to appear on OT . Here it is, all about sport, love, cool guys and one particular girl who’s a gardener turned baseball player!

3. Hana to Akuma ch01 (.zip file) – (volume version) there’s a different order of chapters in the volume than it was in the magazine, and ch01 in volume version was not in the magazine version at all. So basically, this chapter is released on Osuwari Team for the very first time (it’s not a re-edition!). Very sweet chapter of a very sweet manga :3. Oh, and it’s a .zip, not a .rar file enjoy
