Amazon Experiment

    As some of you may have noticed, I'm experimenting with Amazon.  In addition to selling my used manga, I have opened an "Associates" store to make it easy for you to purchase some of the manga series I translate, review, and recommend.  The idea here is to create a "win-win-win" situation in which you all, if you can, support the artists and publisher by purchasing the manga when it becomes available, I can get a little money from referring the sale to Amazon, and you all can have easier access to purchase the manga.  Yeah, yeah, yeah ... I can't keep doing this for free and I know the manga artists can keep providing us with wonderful stories to read for free ... so let's give this a try and see how it goes!

    Here's a link to the store.  And a permanent link is located in the right side bar menu under the name "Omari's Sister Recommends."  I will be updating the store as the manga I translate and read come out.  Currently, "Ouran High School Host Club" Volume 1 - 13, "Wild Ones" (Arakure) Volumes 1 - 8, and "The Palette of 12 Secret Colors" Volumes 1 - 6 are listed there.  There is also a running list of my recent purchases.

    Please leave comments.  Tell me if you like this idea or if you hate it.  Also, give me more suggestions on what I can do to improve on this idea.Source URL: http://aminefairy.blogspot.com/2009/

Akagami no Shirayukihime Chp 15

    Happy New Year to everyone out there!  I hope you are all having a wonderful day where ever in the world you are!

    Here's "Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chp 15.  This is the first chapter in a two-part flashback.  I will start chapter 16 ASAP because it's looks like a powerful chapter.  There are a total of 17 chapters plus an omake out so I'll get those out of the way with to catch everybody up to real time.  After that, there will be a 2-month period between chapter releases coinciding with their release in Lala DX.  It's on the same release schedule as ZHD.  Yeah, it's a bummer, but none of us have any power over it.  Anyhow here's the link:

Bleach 388 Spoilers and Predictions

    BLEACH 388 ENGLISH














    Status: PREDICTION
    by: Onayako

    Bleach 388: Purity

    Ichigo charges head on to Aizen and strikes. Aizen parries the attack. As their swords contact, they both look each other in the eye.

    Aizen: I was expecting you but not that fast, you never cease to amaze me Ryoka boy.
    Ichigo: Keep yor compliments after I beat the crap out of you, Aizen!
    Aizen: Ohooo.

    They both draw back, Hirako flash steps near Ichigo.

    Hirako: Glad to see you Ichigo. Tell me where is Orihime?
    Ichigo: She's still in Hueco Mundo, its safer there from here.
    Hirako: No way! Ichigo we need Orihime's powers. At this rate, Hiyori....She won't make it!

    Ichigo takes a look and sees Hiyori inside Hachigen's barrier. Hachigen is barely keeping Hiyori alive. From distance a figure approaches.

    Figure: Oh my, how rude of you Shinji-san, don't you belive in my capabilities?
    Hirako: Unohana-san!
    Aizen: Long time no see, Captain Unohana.

    Unohana goes to where Hachigen and Hiyori is. She gently asks Hachigen to remove barrier. She releases her zanpakuto Minazuki. This time Minazuki doesn't morph into a manta ray but the gas substance infuses with Hiyori. It starts to regenerate Hiyori's body from the waist down.

    Gin: Heeeeeeee, what's this Captain Aizen.
    Aizen: Never witnessed it myself, but it's been said that Minazuki is the best healing-type zanpakuto in Soul Society history. But now I see why. The very moment minazuki infuses with his target, it replicates targets cells, tissues and eventually organs and limbs. So this is the true power of Captain Unohana's zanpakuto! It's far more greater power than hollow high speed regeneration because hollow regeneration doesn't apply for organs.
    Ichigo: Wow, I've never thought Unohana-san's zanpakuto would be this cool.
    Hirako: We are saved, thanks to Unohana-san. Now Aizen, I can fight you with nothing to worry!
    Aizen: At this rate, even I can't afford to let this happen. Gin we're going.

    Both Aizen and Gin charges head on to Unohana but they both stopped by Ichigo and Hirako.
    Hirako: If you want to attack Unohana-san that's fine.
    Ichigo: But don't forget we are you opponents!

    Both Ichigo and Hirako seen smiling. The real battle has just begun!

    Bleach 388:
    Renewed. The Lives and Destiny Of Those Intertwine Are About To Be Changed

    The Garganta seals shut as Unohana exits
    Ichigo – AIZEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Aizen – Seems the prodigy has returned.
    Ichigo misses as Aizen is behind him. Aizen strikes Ichigo, He manages to evade and strikes back.
    Ichigo – HAAAAA!

    (Flash Back)
    Ichigo – Captain Unohana, I feel very rejuvenated now. And I see a distant light.
    Unohana – Getting more closer, Ichigo. (Thinking) - I have barely begun to heal him fully. How is he going to be able to fight Aizen in this state.

    Ichigo – (Thinking) – Just hold on a little bit more. I hope those left in Heuco Mundo are alright. I hope Orihime is alright. Almost There.

    Hisagi – CAPTAIN!
    Komamura – CAPTAIN AIZEN!
    Ichigo – AIZEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Back To The Present Time
    Aizen – Seems like you've gotten stronger. But from what I can sense you're not that strong for me yet, Child. Gin...

    (swoosh)
    Gin – Understood. Slay Him Shinso...
    Ichigo – This again... Huuuh Hahhh! Getsuga Tenshou!

    Gin – Hmph! Shinso is thirsty. Hehehehehehehe! Fly! And Strike Him Down Shinso!
    Gin's second shikai ability, Shinso's blade separates from the hilt and duplicates into multiple swords around Gin pointed at Ichigo.

    Ichigo – Impossible!
    Gin – No Probable... Strike Him Shinso!
    Shinji - Collapse Sakanade.

    Due to the inverted world's effect Gin gets caught in it. He is under the effect and thinks he will be attacked by his own shikai. He Moves backwards thinking it will miss him but instead moves forward where the blades struck him.

    Shinji – Ichigo... Where is Orihime? Hiyori needs her help.
    Ichigo – She's back in Hueco Mundo, she will be here soon with back up. Trust me.

    read and posted only at http://bleach-spoilers.blogspot.com

    Hueco Mundo
    Kenpachi – Hey! Science Guy! Get these kids out of here. We can't fight with them here.
    Mayuri – Tsk. Insolent Man. But for a barbarian you are correct. Children pick yourselves up and follow Nemu. Nemu! Get them away from here. Fast.
    Nemu – Yes... Captain Mayuri....

    Fake Karakura Town
    Shinji – Okay. I will take care of this little insolent child. You go for his Master. Don't worry after I'm done I will take over for you.
    Ichigo – Heh, You sure about that. Alright.

    They depart from each other preparing to fight their opponents respectively with fire burning in their eyes and soul.

    Aizen vs Ichigo; Gin vs Shinji.

Passing on "I Can't Be a Bride"

    I started translating Kiyo Fujiwara's latest manga series, "I Can't be a Bride."  Here's the synopsis from Betsuhana:


    "Odagiri Madoka is a hard working career woman who is very bad at housework.  Consequently, she requests some assistance from a house cleaning service.  The service dispatches Hirose Yuuki, a high school student with cooking skills.  He also cleans perfectly ...!  However, on the other hand, he's arrogant...?

    I didn't get very far in the translation before deciding that it was a boring "Kimi wa Petto" variation.  A handsome guy name "Kuga" is the other competing male.  He's nice and calm (or so it seems).  His face is drawn with a touch of evil.

    I have read "Kimi wa Petto" several times and it's quite good, so I can't find it within myself to sully the memory with an imitator.  More than anything, though, the pages I read of this manga are so slowwwww, augh!  It's very unlike the fast pace of "Arakure."  It felt like a chore to get as far as I did.

    I'm sorry to all those looking forward to this, but getting through this first chapter will make me hate Japanese.Source URL: http://aminefairy.blogspot.com/2009/
