Hello! Back from seclusion. Contrary to popular belief, we're still alive and nothing's been dropped. Don't worry about raws, too. Thank you so much, but we've got them covered! I tried my best to reply to all of the messages, but if I missed any, I hope that answers your question. If not, if you could please send me another mail.

Sorry we've been gone for a long time, life's been hectic and only recently did it finally wind down. So yeah, we're back to being functional again. Have this tiny offering for now. I have the most of the next chapters finished, so we'll just wrap up 88rhapsody and move on to our other ongoing projects. I know I know they're seveeeerelyyy overdue. 😔

ALSO!!! The English translation of Our Not-So-Lonely Planet Travel Guide by Sorai Mone is out. I'll leave the Amazon link >> here << if you're interested. I only know Amazon, sorry. If you know other sites where you can purchase it, please feel free to comment it here. It's a really nice story, and much needed because of the pandemic.

Anyway, happy reading! See you again soon for the rest! c:

hello thank you for your hard work, I just want to ask if the yaoi squeeze doesn't already have tmblr account?

Hi! Squeeze has one, but she doesn't really use it anymore. c:

Hello again! Thank you for your answer! I was just confused about which one is the the latest chapter of the Old-fashioned Cupcake with Cappuccino. I have read 2 chapters from Vol 2 in english so will the final chaper be released in May, right? (I am praying for extra chapters:)) I just wanted to make sure that I haven't missed any chapter in between. And no worries about the translation, we will be waiting patiently ;) And for the record, can a publisher release it in English please?!?!

Ahh, you haven’t if that’s the case. The final chap’s already out~ The digital ver isn’t so I haven’t read it either, but a fren said it was a touching ending :’’< That’s something to look forward to, can't wait to bawl. And there will be extras when the tankobon comes out! Smut, if I have to guess xD But I think we can all agree that we just need more domestic goodness to die happy.

Also, yes, totally, get this published in English! More people need to read it :< Just under a good publisher, PLEASE. Hopefully the latest win OFC received will be enough to catch them publisher eyes.

Hello! Do you know if there is any update about Old-Fashioned Cupcake? Any new chapter release or when will etc? I try to search around but couldn't find much (in English at least) Which is why I wanted to thank you for all of your efforts for this manga, really appreciated!

Hi! Sorry, are you asking about the latest chapter release? Or our translation? Anyway I’m just gonna answer both hahaha 🐥

The final chapter (ch6) was released in the latest issue of ihr Hertz. It’s on the cover, too!! Check it out huhuhu (https://twitter.com/bs_garden/status/1372860205575282693 ) Personally I think the head tilting, propped on hand or not, is quintessential nozue-san :>>> Especially with an accompanying ‘ehehe’ like this part in ch1. I understand these women with the maternal instincts, I really do

Now, on our end however.... hhahahahahahahah A BIG SORRY FROM ME. I got unprecedentedly busy and what little free time i had, i spent on embroidery or my 2HA brainrot. Squeeze and Indie seem busy with general irl things, too. But the goal this month is to release at least two chapters of our ongoing projects, but sadly it’s not gonna be OFC :<

[nan-chatte]

Y'all are THE BEST. Seriously. I can't begin to thank you enough for your work on Old-Fashioned Cupcake, which has become my favourite manga. Like... it's art. You've done it justice in every way, from your choice of words, idioms, sfx...I'm reading two pages a day of vol 2 just to savour this sweet wholesome goodness...

I literally only came on here to revise a translation mistake so I don’t deserve such kind words huhuhu. Nevertheless, that’s still heartening to hear thank yoouo :’( Squeeze’s and indie’s work have been flawless thoo. I will relay and I’m sure they’ll be happy to hear that as well. <3

I like that method, yes savor iiiit. I would’ve told you to put off reading ch2 for a while hahaha but maybe you have already. These thoo omggg

I’m in trouble, Nozue-san :’(((((

Ooh aaand HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO THOSE WHO CELEBRATE~ 🎆

Hello, helloooo. We updated p38 and in p40 (37 and 39 if you read using drive), as Nozue-san’s monologue should be connected in these two pages and I failed to notice that. My apologies hehe pls forgive~

[nan-chatte]

Hello! We received a DMCA strike for Yoake no Uta and have taken down links for it. I can’t immediately take care of it right now, so for now I don’t know how our arrangement is going to be. Discord seems the most feasible, but we’ve yet to decide on anything. I would also like to remind everyone not to message Yuno Ichika in English, and please support them by purchasing a copy if you have the means to. Have a nice day! ✨

Hello! It might be a little too late, but... happy new year! May the coming year be kinder to all of you hehe. <3 This is our first release for the year hahaha, sorry, we've been really busy. Still are. :'( Anyway, these are the last we'd be working on from this anthology. I hope they've all made you smile! Enjoy reading and have a nice day! :)

Some update on other projects: for now, we're trying to finish Old-fashioned Cupcake with Cappuccino Chapters 1 and 2. Hopefully, we can release before February, as I would be taking a hiatus by then hehe. Yoake no Uta and 88rhapsody... we've started on the next chapters, but OFC is still priority.

Hi thank you for all the hardwork! Just wanna ask if there's a discord for Kedama? :) Is there a public discord for kedama? I love your projects and would like to join if there is

Hello! We don’t have one. I do acknowledge the convenience and security of having a discord server, but right now we’re not inclined to make one since our Mangadex and Wordpress does the job (plus, indie and I decided that we’re too introverted for a server lol). 

And, small flex: I fixed the projects menu on our WP ehehuheue. Yes, freaking finally, it should be more accessible now. Note: the titles I previously announced that we will pick up (e.g. Koi ka Hakai ka, Psychedelic Baby) are still on our list, plus a few more. The ones listed on our WP are just the ones I can say for absolute certainty we will release because we’ve started working on them. :>

[nan-chatte]

thank you so much for your hard work on translating! I just read Bokura no Tsuzuki and it is the cutest thing ever ;;_;; I bought a physical copy too!

Yay I’m glad you did!!! And thank you for supporting Amamiya-sensei hehe. <3 Now go enjoy reading that baby :D

Although my expectations for official releases from Tokyopop plummeted after reading Kimi ni Ienai Koto ga aru. It was reallyyy.... no.

27star (88rhapsody Ch.1)

Title: 27star (from 88rhapsody)

Author: Sorai Mone

Synopsis: Yodaka, a highschool student with burn marks around his right eye, stays cooped up in his school's infirmary to avoid others. One day, while lying on the infirmary bed, he meets a boy named Anji by chance...

Hello!! Back again! The first chapter is sort of like (I mean, it is, I guess?) a one shot of the side couple's story. Will update the summary/synopsis when we start with Ch2. :> You might be familiar... this manga was done by the same author as Utakata no Uroko. Similarly, the theme is music (I'm starting to think Sorai Mone likes music xD). I think the Seki here is the same Seki in UnU. I'm just not sure. Also, the musicians who died by 27 might be referring to the 27 Club, with names like Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, etc...  So anyway, as usual, enjoy reading and have a nice day!

Hi there, thank you for all that you do!! I've been especially loving Yoake no Uta. The art is beautiful and the plot delicious. I was wondering if you know the age gap between Alto and Elva and if that scene in the first part of chapter 1 is Elva's past? I can't stop thinking about these!! I have theory that it may be linked to Alto somehow that's why he's unaffected by the monsters.. Thank you for your time!

Hello! I’m glad you liked it! Dayum you already have a theory. Smart people at work hahhaha. I’d be interested to hear that theory, though. I think about it too... but mostly this scene:

I mean, look at Elva going wtf and Altoooo... such a bean :’(((

Anyway, they have an 8-year age gap. As for that scene in the first part, I’m not sure how much I can tell you without spoiling ch2... although there’s really not much to tell. But let’s leave it at: it’s a dream.

[nan-chatte]

hello! thank you for the latest release! it's fantastic so far and i can't wait for the rest. i wanted to ask too, you previously announced you were picking up atsuko yusen's psychedelic baby and may i ask when can we expect it? im a big fan since dekoboko so it's got me excited. tysm! i'm sorry in advance if it sounds nagging, but feel free to ignore it. more power to your group! 💕

Hi! You’re welcome! I agree, Yoake’s so fantastic!! Along with other stories from fromRed actually! And about Psychedelic Baby... oh my gooosh I’m so sorry. I wish I could tell you we’d be starting it soon, but... :’( I honestly don’t have a concrete answer for you huhu.

[nan-chatte]

hello! i enjoy reading your releases sm its just my kind of bl stories thank you so much for your work! i checked your wordpress but if you guys need an extra hand id be willing to help typeset. have a good day/night<3

Hi! Thank you for offering! This sounds contradictory, but having extra help is its own kind of stress for me, so I would rather do them myself. It stresses me out when I feel like I have to give something to work on, but because I translate at a snail’s pace, I have nothing. But the offer is truly, truly appreciated! You have a nice day/night too! I hope you get to eat a lot of good food. :>
