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)

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!!

Yesss!! I’m done with finals! I’m home! And I have a release for you guys!! Now who wants to play catch with me?! Well, nevermind… Too tired after QC-ing this latest release. I promise you guys that I’ll update the site again tomorrow with another chapter. I was supposed to have two chapters out before the end of this week, because… *cough* Akamaru is on vacation and she’ll be returning after tomorrow, and if she comes back and sees that I’ve been slacking… *cough*

Not really. I haven’t been slacking. I was busy studying, and then after that I couldn’t QC anything because I lost all of my fonts after I reformatted my laptop… Oh yeah~ So after I came home and found all of my fonts still in tact on my old beloved desktop, I transferred them and here’s your latest release! Yeah!!

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO STILL HAVE FINALS~!!

We’re still in need of Japanese Translators, Cleaners, Typesetters, and Quality Checkers! Please apply if you’re interested!

1. Hybrid Berry ch03 – Aoyagi comes to an important conclusion in this chapter… or two! Maybe three! Err, yeah!
2. Hybrid Berry ch04 – Well, of course the next release would be Hybrid Berry. Otherwise it wouldn’t match the post’s title. (o_o) In this chapter, Sugisaki gets upset?! That bird-brained baseball otaku. =O

P.S. Heeeeey Jenn!
