…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.

Pheeeew~~! It’s been a long time without releases AGAIN ^^’ To mollify you a little we bring you a new chapter of Hana to Akuma today ^^ We’re still in need of experienced cleaners! So if you want to try and apply, finish the test posted on the right-hand side of the website and send the PSD files back to osuwariteam@gmail.com!

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!

Hello, people!
Are you all stuffed with delicious food by now? I bet you are! Well, I certainly am, and I’m happy about it! I don’t know about your countries, but in my country we have this tradition that during the christmas eve’s dinner twelve dishes have to be served. I think there were MORE dishes on my table though. XD

I wanted to wish Merry Christmas to all our readers – may your next year be filled with joy, love and many, MANY great releases! xD

On this special day I wanted also to squeeze and hug all my staffers really hard – I’m really thankful for all the hard work you put into creating what is Osuwari Team! You’re all amazing, and always remember about that! This group seriously wouldn’t be where it is if it wasn’t for you. I love to work, chat and laugh with you

…as while we’re talking about laughing, I have a small episode for you, our dear readers, from our usual day at Osuwari. xD

I was talking with kuinni today, and she used a phrase ‘OTL’ while responding to my words.
I asked her what OTL means. And here’s what I got for an answer:

me: coughs …what OTL means? xD
kuinni: lol
so many people ask me that
it’s a man on the floor in despair
at the lowest of the lowest pit of life
the greatest of all depression ever!!

…and she gave me a picture…

…after which I caught a huge, dramatic fit of laughter.

So! Now, that you all know two things for certain:

1. OTL is a phrase describing a man in the lowest pit of his life
2. kuinni has ABSOLUTELY NO talent for drawing

We can turn our attention to the releases

Since Christmas is my favorite event ever, I’ve decided that we will prolong it! Why not, I’m the almighty power here, after all! xD So, starting today’s evening (since gifts are given in my country in the evening) we’ll release one chapter per day until the New Year’s Eve! Isn’t that great

First goes the oneshot on which two crazy girls – kurenai and kuinni – worked THE WHOLE NIGHT to have it done by today. So basically, it’s a Christmas oneshot, very cute and sweet and Osuwarish, brought to you by the Crazy K Team. Give them some applause~!

• 25.12.2008: Kimi ga Hajimete ver.2 (oneshot) – a special thanks to Kurenai who got dragged into helping kuinni! This oneshot is actually ONLY okay-cute?! Why is that?! Read and find out the answer!
• 26.12.2008: Kinkyori Renai ch04 – more Kinkyori to feed your manga addiction this chapter finishes volume 1!
• 27.12.2008: Hybrid Berry ch05 – let’s play baseball~~! This chapter finishes the main story in volume 1 (there’s an extra story left). Just one more volume left!
• 28.12.2008: Another from our daily OTL related talks:
  * !Akamaru eyes the ongoing&future projects lists….
  * !Akamaru OTL
  !Akamaru: yes
  !Akamaru: the lowest pit of my life
  @kuinni: lol
  !Akamaru: fits here quite well
  and so, because I like to feel happy all the time, another series jumps from ongoing to the completed section today! Bye bye, cute Yamada Daisy compilation of oneshots~~ – Innocent World ch04
• 29.12.2008: Number ch04 – we’re back on track with this one it should have been released yesterday, but I wasn’t around on time to make the update so… sorry ^^’ well, whatever, it’s availiable today later today someone will update with today’s chapter. Now, I’m going to sleep~~
• 30.12.2008: Hatsukoi ni Oboreta ch01a – if you’ve seen Hina Sakurada’s older works, you’d be amazed at how much her artwork’s improved and how original it is. Here’s our newest project!

Merry Christmas!!
