Little Busters! - 21

"Fifty Nautical Miles Into The Sky"

An arc with a huggably adorable heroine and a focus on astronomy? Kud is officially my favorite of the Little Busters.

Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru - 9

"Promises That Come Back Are a Battlefield"

In just thirty seconds of total screentime, Masuzu managed to steal the show once again.

Chihayafuru 2 - 8

"Which Shines Over Mount Mikasa"

A storm has arrived in the form of two Karuta gods.

Maoyū Maō Yūsha - 9

"Because I Am Human"

From heretic to saint; well that escalated quickly.

Psycho-Pass - 19

"Transparent Shadow"

I'm starting to lose track of all the literary and philosophical references in this series.

Ozaki Kaori's New Series: "Kamisama ga Uso wo Tsuku"

Excuse me for a second... THANK YOU UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Ahem*

Here's the official news in Japanese: 3月25日発売 月刊アフタヌーン5月号より「神様がうそをつく。」連載開始

And the link to her site: Innocent Bad

The first issue of the manga will be out on March 25th. The series title translates to "God Tells Lies"; sounds promising for Ozaki-sensei. Tanoshimi ni shiteru ne!

Zetsuen no Tempest - 20

"Whodunit (Who Did It)"

I would say, "I TOLD YOU SO," except this episode was so epic, it didn't matter.

Kotoura-san - 8

"It's Not A Date"

And so Manabe-kun has learned a valuable lesson this week: it's no fun teasing others if they don't know you're doing it.

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo - 20

"In Order to Keep Saying 'We're Home'"

And here I was with a faint hope for some more comedy... I should have known better.

Amnesia - 8

"VIII"

How curious that the darkest arc is centered around the most cheerful love interest.

Scanlation: Kōkyōshihen Eureka Seven New Order - 1

This is what translation looks like when you only know 200 kanji; that monster is 2,000 pages long, and yes, it's a LOT more work to find what you want compared to an English dictionary.

In any case, it was long and difficult, and it is 20 minutes before 6 AM, but I finally finished the first chapter of New Order. This is the first time I have ever scanlated anything completely on my own before, though I have to apologize for the scan quality (my scanner is ancient and makes everything look more pixelated than it really is) as well as for the shoddy cleaning job. It is midterms week after all. I'm about ready to collapse, seeing as this is my fifth all-nighter all week, but I hope the translations do the manga justice regardless. Don't forget, a group scanlated version is on the way soon (I will be working as a translator for that project as well)!

Download Link: Kōkyōshihen Eureka Seven: New Order Volume 1, Chapter 1

Just a quick note, the first chapter is a bit of a situational chapter; it explains the context of what's going on and why, but all the really good stuff is actually in chapter 2 and beyond. Still, I hope you enjoy Miyama's work (he LOVES transparent speech bubbles; those things are hellishly hard to edit), if only because we get to see Renton and Eureka again!

Shinsekai Yori - 21

"Fires of the Apocalypse"

You know, it took me 21 episodes to realize I'm probably the only person who spells the title of this series with Shin and Sekai together; I think it's a hold-over from the lack of spaces when writing in kana.
