Volume 3, Chapter 4 of Tokimeki Tonight is finally done. It's available here.
This chapter is very text-heavy, but there are a lot of great moments in it. I love Mori's heart-to-heart talk with Ranze, and when Ranze says Youko's eyebrows make her look like Brooke Shields.
I know releases of Tokimeki have been rather sporadic, and that's because 1) each of the 4 chapters per volume is is 40-50 pages, and 2) I've been focusing on Boy Alice in Wonderland because there's only a few chapters of it left. It's finite, whereas Tokimeki is endless.
Starting with Volume 4, I'll be releasing Tokimeki in smaller chapters. There will be 8 chapters instead of 4, with about 20-30 pages apiece. This will mean smaller but more frequent releases of the series, and also that I won't feel as rushed.

Boy Alice in Wonderland, Volume 2, Chapter 5
The latest chapter of Boy Alice in Wonderland is finally finished! This chapter finds Arisu really getting in touch with his feminine side and confiding more in the Prince.
You can pick it up here.
Plot-wise, this is the most surreal series I've ever translated. Some of the chapters seem to take place in an alternate universe, and it's hard to tell the different between this other universe (or universes) and the "real" world within Boy Alice.
This does make for a much more interesting read, though. ;)

Boy Alice in Wonderland - Help Wanted
To the person who sent me a PM offering to help with Boy Alice--
I would be delighted to have some help with this project. I didn't see your email address in the PM, so I don't know how else to get ahold of you, though.
Please email me at eiennihen@me.com if you're still interested in helping out, and we can go over the details. :D

Boy Alice in Wonderland, Volume 2, Chapter 2
The next chapter of Boy Alice in Wonderland is finally finished! You can pick it up here.
One thing I did want to mention about this series is the use of Arisu vs. Alice. Arisu (亜利州) and Alice (アリス) are essentially two forms of the same name in Japanese. It may seem a little strange for the Prince to call the main character "Alice," whereas everyone else calls him/her "Arisu," but there are two reasons that I decided to translate it this way:
1) The difference between the two names does not translate well into English.
2) The Prince constantly refers to Arisu as a girl without any of the other main characters noticing, and refuses to acknowledge that Arisu is male. This is apparent in the original as well as the translation. So it would make sense for him to use the female version of Arisu's name, Alice.
This was a short but interesting chapter. I hope you guys enjoy it. =)

Still Alive!
Wow, it's been two months already! The next chapter of Boy Alice in Wonderland is still forthcoming. Here's what I've been spending most of my time on lately:
Dark Half
Tear Ring Saga
For the Frog the Bell Tolls
I hope to have the next chapter of Boy Alice out in September. Then I'll start working on more Tokimeki Tonight, which takes much much longer.
Cheers!
