Heyo everyone! I’m so sorry for the long delay with our releases! This was honestly supposed to have been released last week but I was just so busy with school and midterms that I haven’t had the chance to QC it. But don’t fear, it’s released now! Akamaru has also been busy with her own tests, so it’s been a double whammy for this group, I suppose. But we will have more releases coming to you guys soon! =D Yay~

So enjoy this latest release! xD And how come no one likes our releases? T.T We don’t get any feedbacks at all. Sorry, it’s something very silly. xD

1. Strawberry Kiss ch02 – Will Nashiro tell Mitsuki how he really feels about her in this chapter?! Is it hate or love? =o

*edit* For the first 24 hours of Strawberry Kiss ch02, we got 755 hits, according to mediafire’s stat counters. I’ll be putting up http links now for the release. We don’t force people to comment, but it’s important for us to hear back from you guys about what you think of our releases. When I go to other sites (like MangaFox) people comment on every single release of ours, and yet we hear nothing on our site. (We usually get around 6~14 comments average.) Are we doing something wrong? Do you guys think we should change something? Add something? Maybe online viewing? Are we THAT UNFRIENDLY? It’s just somewhat depressing that no one thinks that we do want to hear back about our progress and the manga that we’re choosing to do. Again, as every other group in the world would say, we really do this for fun but it IS nice to hear back from everyone. This is the only time I’ll ever rant to you guys, so rest assured that I won’t be going on a campaign. Thank you to the people who responded to me in this post, you guys are great! ^_^

“A long time ago, when the earth was green,
There were more kinds of animals than you’ve ever seen.
They’d run around free while the earth was being born,
But the loveliest of all was the unicorn.”

“(…)The first mention of a unicorn in literature appears four centuries before the birth of Christ, in a ‘mess of a book’ called Indica by the Greek orientalist Ctesias of Cnidus. Ctesias reported that in India there existed ‘certain wild asses’ of inexampled speed and ferocity, sporting horns on their foreheads. The horns were briliant white at the base, black half way up, and bright red at the sharp end; and if you made them into drinking vessels they would neutralise the effects of poison, and give you immunity to epilepsy.(…)”

What the hell is that, you will ask.

This is the part of my final exam from english-polish translation. A text about unicorns. Seriously. It even had a tiny picture of the unicorn in the top-left corner.

So to sum it up, my final grade will be based on how well I translated a few paragraphs about certain donkeys running wild somewhere in the deep nowhere of ancient India. Oh, and let’s not forget – they had horns sprouting from their heads. If you chopped them off, you had a powerful mug from which you could drink even my grandma’s soup (which is the strongest poison I’ve ever heard of) and you will survive.

World is a funny place, isn’t it?

And because it is, today Osuwari brings you a new chapter of Shout!. It is funny. It is sweet. It is long. And it makes you want more.

Shout! v01 ch02

Enjoy~~

PS – We seriously need more J-E translators. Please, don’t make me beg you, just apply… T_T

*Akamaru

Today we’re bringing you a cute oneshot by Sato Zakuri, who you may already be familiar with as the mangaka of Otona Pink (an Esthetique project). Uhh, I really have to go soon, because the bookstore closes in 40 minutes and I need to return my textbooks because it’s just sooo much cheaper to buy used textbooks from online websites like Amazon. A used textbook from the campus bookstore is practically a new textbook, so it’s a waste when you spend $80 on a worthless piece of History textbook that isn’t even as difficult to read as your high school History textbook. Yeah.

So, Osuwari Team is still recruiting for JAPANESE TRANSLATORS and J-E PROOFREADERS for both our projects and oneshots! Please apply if you like our group, any of our projects, or if you just feel like helping out! Anything is appreciated! For more information, please go HERE and HERE to our recruit threads!!

1. Hanbun wa Ai de Dekitemasu – What happens when the person you love is the Super S of your school and you’re always teased by him?! Well, the heroine of this story knows that feeling well!

Peace out.

With today’s sidestory from Bokura wa Itsumo, we’re finishing first volume of this manga. I’m happy to say that Himitsu no H-kun (the sidestory’s title) is the only other than Bokura and Shuu7 Fujimiya Ayu work (at least I believe so). So, we’re covering all her oneshots/series now nice!

Bokura wa Itsumo sidestory

Yeah, I know. With us resting after the new year’s it got boring. So, to break the silence from our side, here are chapters of Antique Romance, a joint with Esthetique. Five of them, folks!

Enjoy this little batch, and what would you say for a little more of Bokura or Hatsukoi next time?

• Antique Romance chapter 14
• Antique Romance chapter 15
• Antique Romance chapter 16
