"Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chapter 25

At last!  I'm so sorry for the delay!  As you know things happens and plans fall through.  Anyhow, we got it done and chapter 26 is well on it's way to getting done.  I don't know what's going to happen when AnS moves to Lala magazine.  I suspect chapter 27 will be printed with high quality and then after that the image quality will be inconsistent and we'll have the same problem that we have with "The Ghost Apartment Manager".  If the print quality is really poor, then we will have no choice but to wait for the tankoubon.  We've taken so much care so far that it would be a shame to put out crappy looking releases because we are in a hurry.  We'll do our best and I'll will definitely announce the image quality of chapters.

This is the second to last chapter in the Tanburn arc.  It has lots of action and is in general "kick ass".  The Sorata "Japanese word salad" was worse than usual in this chapter, so I apologize now for any translation errors I've made.  Also, I'd like to announce that this is Silver Lunar's debut as a typesetter.  Good job, Silver Lunar!  And I'd also like to thank Tin for helping me pinpoint some translation errors.  Anyhow, here are the links!

Next up!

I'm about to go nuts because my copy of Aria magazine hasn't arrived yet.  I need my hit of "Magnolia" now!  I guess until it arrives, I'll be working on the extra chapters of "Ouran" and "Hana Kimi" and prepping our fall one-shots.

A reminder: Follow our releases on Twitter @OmarissisterRel

Also catch the debuts "Rex Fabula" and "Servamp" at Bakeneko's Lair! 

Kemono Kingdom: Zoo Chp 3

Lion and Eagle ...what's this I feel?  Could it be a touch of moe?

It's another wacky chapter of the cute animal civil war story!  It's hard to say who my favorite character is because I like all the characters so much for their individual quirks.  In terms of a pair, though, Lion and Eagle are easily my favorite.

This chapter ends the opening arc of the story. Next in the story, I can honestly say I haven't got a clue, but I'm sure it will adorably side-splitting.  I hope Mochi gets a cover or does a color image soon.  These cute furries deserve some special treatment.  Also, the story needs a speaking reptile of some sort...hmm...but what kind would be good?

The California Condor!

In this chapter a new character "Condor" is introduced.  The California Condor is near and dear to the hearts of some of us San Diegans who were bombarded in the 80's by the news of the California Condor's near extinction.  In 1987 the 22 known remaining California Condors were captured and put into a captive breeding program at the San Diego Wild Animal Park (now called "The Safari Park") and the LA Zoo.  It was rough going for them.  They were released back into the wild in 1991 and now there are around 400 known birds.

If you would like to know a little more about the California Condor, here's a nice web page from the San Diego Zoo about them. (Link) If you want to know more than a little something, follow the links within that web page.  The story of how the species was revived is quite interesting.  Oh, and here's a link to them on Wikipedia too. (Link)  The birds aren't much to look at close up, but they are, as Mochi-sensei points out, "The Rulers of the Sky" (They are HUGE birds and they can soar forever).

Next up is the second "The Scarecrow of Oz" one-shot to prepare us for the short 3-chapter long short series that will we present in April.
