A gentle breeze around the knees

And we're back. Hope everyone had fun with Himeanole.


Well that was a wonderful collection of short stories. This last one was on the shorter side, like the 3rd one, but the length was perfectly fine here while with the other I feel like there was room left for more. Great endings on all of them though.

So I guess that's that and now we know Kyoko Okazaki is excellent at creating incredible oneshots, too. The thematic link between the five chapters makes you think she did them one after the other instead of over the course of almost 2 years. Hard to pick a favorite because that first one really floored me when I first read it and the fourth one was amazing, maybe it's between those two but I feel very strongly about the second one, too, some days I think it's just as good.

Can't teach an old dog new tricks

Heard you was looking for dark and depressing👀 

Won't She Speak Well, That Girl Who Woke Up From a Dream ch 03


So.. yeah. We're gonna be on a bit of a break right now, around a month... unless a typesetter magically drops from the sky. Though you might see something before that that has our paws on it👀

Kintsugi

New project time✌ 
Natsujikei Miyazaki is in my opinion one of the most interesting fresh mangaka that made their debut the previous decade along with the likes of Keigo Shinzou, Tsuchika Nishimura or Youko Komori (hope she comes back to doing manga again). I've only read News of Transformations a couple of years back and I really loved her style, it's a wonderful collection of surreal short stories. By the way, Glacier Bay Books is publishing this one in english, it's a collection of 33 eight page shorts so consider nabbing that one, it's a joy seeing this publisher continue to grow with each year.
As for the project we'll be taking on... apparently the first two chapters were scanlated into english 5 years ago😅 I had no idea because nobody updated MU about it. Well, anyway, they were commissioned so I doubt anyone was gonna finish it and I think our translation and especially our editing is better for this first one😁 so maybe wait until we finish the second one before venturing forward.
