It's Christmas time for Yukiko!

Well not really. BUT I did come home to an awesome donation list! Thank you so much guys~ I was able to purchase volumes 5 & 6 tonight. On another note, I am a huge nerd okay? So most who have followed CM from day one, know about my skull.g tattoo on my foot. For those who are FIVE addicts, you probably know that skull.g is part of Furukawa-san's product line related to the series. Yep, I have it tattooed on my foot.

See? lawl

So I had last Sunday planned out to get my latest tattoo started (capricorn) but he ended up having to cancel. I was still in the mood for one, and decided to call up my friend's shop and see if he could do a different one for me, one I'd wanted for a whiiiile. *cough* Yes, it's also from FIVE.

Murder Bear....YEP.

Today I was finally able to get the start on my capricorn tattoo however :3 Since I'm in such a good mood, I'll share it with you.

It's going to cover up my 黙示　tattoo that I got back when I was....18? Yeah, ages ago lol.

Anyway, off to work on some manga.....

Donation help?

Okay so I hate to plead, but I'm going to. I just found out tonight that HALF of my manga collection was thrown away by my friend's ex. Long story. Needless to say I no longer have Haigakura v5 or the info book that came with v4. YEEEEAH I'm pretty pissed. Cuz all I have for Haigakura right now is v1...*eye twitch*

Anyway what I'm getting to, is that the goal of donations is $32. That is v5 & 6 with expedited shipping. Without the expedition, it would take 6-14 business days....yeah.

'Kay so, my plead is to get at least $32 as soon as possible :( I want to start working on Haigakura again, and I know there are tons of people wanting us too. Believe me, I get hate mail.

One last thing; I screwed up on K!KH's most recent release, eheh ^^; MS fixed it though. Yay~

Nyar~

Well hallo~ In case you were wondering why the last post was so poorly written and whatnot, it was because I was in my car at the barn. Sooo yeah the lack of a new paragraph and ♥ can now be realized. *ahem* Anyway - I'm almost done with the next chapter of FIVE. It's all cleaned, just translating as I typeset. *sigh* This series is such a bore because it's so predictable. I won't throw any spoilers out there but...what everyone thinks is BASICALLY what happens lmao.

On another note, we need donations so I can purchase volume 6 of Haigakura pleeeease ♥ Until I get that, I will be pushing out more FIVE than anything. I have to talk with the folks at Matteiru about K!KH x_x I'm scared to see what Holanio has to say about my absence << >>

Uhhhm I think that's about all for now. OH I could use another editor, if there's one floating about interested. Poor Asami and Lohathe have been over-worked, and are also busy with their RL stuff. Hence why I've just been doing everything lol.

Kay well, that's all for now. Just for shits and giggles though, who would like me to make a forum? Just comment with a response if you feel like it. Sometimes getting work to staff and releases to readers is easier that way :/ Dunno, give me your opinions!

That is the due date for volume 6 of Haigakura to be released in Japan. $15.99 before shipping fyi. So hopefully by then we can have at least $50 (express shipping ^^)

This means I will put out more chapters of FIVE than Haigakura. We are almost in to volume 5 (1 chapter left from 4) and I don't want to rush through it, since we are down to just two series now.

Here's an idea...or two?

Some of you may know about our previous joints with HaruHime (haruhime.net) right? Well as Haru and Hime have disappeared from the world, and their projects are no longer being released, unless it was a joint with another group that scanned, I was thinking on Possibly taking over Mairunovich.

Normally I would ask to do this, but I haven't been able to contact either owners nor the staff. SO I see it as free game. The only issue now, is buying the volumes needed. Right now there are 7 volumes released in Japan. HaruHime released the entire volume 1, and 90% of volume 2. As much as I would like to save money on manga, we need to have volume 2 for the last chapter.

I checked my normal sites for free raws, and none were found. If anyone out there can either find some or knows of decent Chinese raws (and we can get a Chinese > English translator) that would be great. Otherwise, it's looking like for volumes 2-4 I would be spending roughly $60 after shipping.

So I guess our goal now is to get at least $60 worth of donations so I can buy those guys. I really don't want to see this series go on hiatus =/ I like it lol. Oh and if anyone knows of another group who plans on continuing it, lemme know - and I won't go ahead with this plan. Until I hear otherwise, we are on our way for Mairunovich!

Ah and one more thing, I will be re-releasing Urashima. It's a whopping two volumes long, and I've had people mention they want to finish reading it. Plus I have the volumes sitting here collecting dust so why not lol.
