Free Talk: Fourteenth Anniversary Greetings ^^ + Blog Stuff

It’s another thank you day again ^^ It’s now 14 years of blogging/summarizing from the former pitas blog to this site. Thank God for all the blessing that He had sent over. Thanks to my parents for providing my needs and some wants. Thanks to the Chinese scanlators who had been providing me material to write the summaries. And as always, thanks to my readers for still waiting and reading the summaries ^-^
  
As you’ve noticed, summaries for this month had been slower than usual. Well, I’ve gotten a bit busier in real life. My parents are getting old so they are giving me more tasks at the family business. Before, I can still get away with typing up some summaries at work during a slow day but now, there is almost none. ^^; Not sure if busy-ness is temporary or not but will see then make adjustments.

Anyway, it is most likely that I won’t pick up any new series until I’ve catch up with the pending summaries and have more free time. Even if I wanted to keep on summarizing Skip Beat if the Chinese is out first but I’ll have to limit myself to writing comments for it instead.

Rere Hello and Suki-tte Il na yo are definitely dropped. The last three chapters of the former are so-so. It seems like someone just pressed the forward button just to get it over with. ^^; The former is due to lack of interest again. ^^;; I’m not interested in finishing Miseinen Dakedo Kodomo Janai either. Sorry, to those who read these series.

Kanojo wa Uso wo Aishisugiteru is no longer Chinese scanlated so that is temporarily/permanently dropped. Tsubasa to Hotaru’s continuation will depend if the new arc is interesting. Also, regarding Nijiiro Days, sorry, I’m not continuing it. Browsing over the new chapters, it is basically about what they’ll do when they graduate. That is somewhat like Kimi ni Todoke all over again. So, pass on that one.

So, for now, the ones I’ll continue working on are:  
  • Ookami-heika no Hanayome, 
  • Kono Oto Tomare, 
  • Blue Glass, 
  • Kasane, Hatsu Haru, 
  • Futsuu no Koiko-chan, 
  • Kimi ni Todoke, 
  • From Five to Nine, 
  • Kurosaki-kun no Iinari ni Nante Naranai, 
  • Namaikizakari and 
  • Zekkyou Gakkyu Tensei [if the chapter is good].

And finally, thank you again for reading and the support, my readers ^-^

  9. Congrats for 14 years completion of blogging.. Wow that's wonderful! :) :)

    If you get some time from your busy schedule, will you kindly take on Amano shinobu's new manga please? I really am looking forward to the translation of hopefully another new masterpiece from her pen...

    1. Thank you, leather stick (‘∀’●)♡

      Most likely not since I have so many pending summaries to do. Sorry.

      Delete
    2. Alright, I hope you get them completed soon, and if the new series seems promising, and demanding to be translated from many, like the previous one, I hope you would take it on soon :), Best wishes :)

    3. But please can you just tell what's the theme of story? I'm curious..

      Delete
    4. Maybe, leather stick, thanks ^^ Since the mangaka is popular, others might pick it up.

      The story is about a short girl who seems to long for a boyfriend. She bumped her head and it got wounded. She has to go to the infirmary. The underclassman boy there is strange and seems attracted to her. He confessed that he is a vampire and finds her blood yummy. He says that it is love at first sight and asks her to become his food.

      She freaks out and he is stalking her. By the way, he isn't good at human interactions and he has a talking 'pet' black cat. It seems that he wants her consent to become food. She got fed up and snapped at him when he 'shooed' away another guy.

      One day, girl gets in a bit of trouble with some drunk man. He saves her. She is about to change her mind about him until he licked her tears and finds it yummy. She took back her words of apology earlier and for saving her. Then, he is checking up on her again that it's great that the important food isn't injured. She tells herself that she absolutely won't become his food.

      His personality reminds me of Kujou's. The girl is kind of like Yanagi in some way when he is being girlie ^^; That's the first chapter so the theme is pretty much that.

      Go here for the chapter 1 Chinese scans:

    5. Wow.. Seems like kind of strange fantasy type series by Amano..
      Yea I hope you or somebody else picks it up soon.. Fingers crossed :) :)

      Thank you so much for the detailed synopsis of the first episode, you're the best :) :)

      Yup the roles seem reversed, but the guy looks like kind of eeriely scary lol..

      Btw what's the translation of the title of the manga? And what are the names of male and female protagonists?

    6. =)

      No problem ^^

      Hehe, he should...he's a stalker vampire =P

      In Chinese, it is Infirmary/Clinic's Kageyama. That is if his name is based on the kanji is 影山. Literally means shadow mountain. The girl is 日和. There are many ways to call that name. ^^; It might be Hiyori, Hinata, Koyori, Hiwa, etc. =P That literally means 'clear/perfect day' in Japanese.

  10. Congratulations on 14 years, Kat!! Wow! Thanks so much for continuing your blog despite having less free time. Your summaries are always wonderful to read!! :)
