After a lot of hard work, the next chapter of Tokimeki Tonight is finished! You can get it here!
The "find-the-prince" arc is progressing nicely, and I can't wait to find out what happens next. Also, this kept running through my head as I edited page 100 for what seemed like hours:

Struck by Black Rain, Chapter 1 is done!
The first chapter of Keiji Nakazawa's Struck by Black Rain is finished! You can download it here.
Just a warning: this series is very dark and serious, as it deals with the aftermath of the atomic bomb. There's also a fair amount of swearing and violence (corpses, skeletons, etc.) so beware. This series is nothing like Tokimeki Tonight, which I will have more of soon.
In the meantime, the earthquake in Japan has ravaged many cities, destroyed at least one nuclear power plant, and may have contaminated Tokyo's water supply. So if you have some extra cash, please consider donating to one of the charities on this page

Tokimeki Tonight, Volume 4, Chapter 3 is done!
Is finally finished!
After a long, unpleasant struggle, this chapter is complete and ready to read. You can pick it up here.
Please note that the second newspaper on pg. 69 isn't translated because I couldn't ready the headline on it. Everything else (besides sound effects) is translated, though. I don't like to leave text untranslated if at all possible.
I should be done with the first chapter of "Black Rain" soon, and then more Tokimeki Tonight. :D

Update: Tokimeki Tonight, Volume 4, Chapter 3
Just a quick update. I've been through a lot in the last couple months: Holidays, a Caribbean cruise, the flu, and working on two huge video game projects (one of which has been released.)
On a side note, here is a picture of me in the Cayman Islands.
This chapter of Tokimeki is proving quite difficult; it's very text-heavy and there are a couple of weird puns that don't work in English.
I also discovered a small translation error from the previous chapter and fixed it. The updated version of chapter 2 is here. Apparently Mori and Shira visit the King, instead of vice versa. :/
Anyway, I'm hard at work on chapter 3, and it will be out later this month. Until then, cheers, and stay warm! :)

Sneak Preview
First things first. I've removed some of the older individual releases from the MediaFire page and consolidated them into separate volumes to save space. Full volumes of the following are now available for download:
Boy Alice in Wonderland, Volume 1 link
Boy Alice in Wonderland, Volume 2 link
Tokimeki Tonight, Volume 2 link
Tokimeki Tonight, Volume 3 link
All the links in my previous posts will reflect this change.
On to the more interesting stuff. :) I'm happy to announce a new translation project in the works: "Kuroi Ame ni Utarete" ("Struck by Black Rain") by Keiji Nakazawa. It's a collection of stories set in the aftermath of the atomic bomb. Parts of it are pretty racist, and apparently it was very controversial when it was written. However, I think this manga is an important part of history, and I'm excited to work on it. Here's an interview with the author of the manga, and below is a sneak peek of chapter 1:

Tokimeki Tonight, Volume 4, Chapter 2 is done!
Yes, the next chapter of Tokimeki--Volume 4, Chapter 2--is finally finished! You can click here to get it.
This story is the exciting conclusion to the Yoshioka arc, and it looks like the next arc may center on Shira and Mori's mission to find the other prince.
I'd like to wish my US readers happy Thanksgiving (and my Canadian readers a super late happy Thanksgiving)! I'll be having lasagna, breadsticks, and Chianti, because I can't stand turkey or ham. :P
Anyway, more Tokimeki Tonight to come soon, plus a sneak peek of a new series I'll be scanlating. Stay tuned!

Boy Alice in Wonderland - FINAL Chapter
Chapter 8, the last chapter of Boy Alice in Wonderland, is finished! You can get it here.
Like I said in my previous post, this is not a "story" chapter. It contains a short comic about the author and a two-page essay about psychology and manga. (The essay was a pain to translate!) Of course, there are also some extras, like the color cover of the manga.
Also, special thanks to Lisa (Busy) for helping out with the editing for Volume 2. I couldn't have finished this series without her.
I know Boy Alice isn't for everyone, but for those who do like it, I hope you've enjoyed reading it as much as I've enjoyed translating it.
