Hi,

my group, Kotonoha, is looking for an experienced redrawer/cleaner to help us with two particularly challenging pages from the upcoming short story "The Book...

捨石となる means to sacrifice yourself for something (lit. to become a sacrificed stone). 地下百尺 literally means 100 feet (shaku) underground. I'm not sure what the whole expression means, but I guess the...

Most comic lettering fonts are all caps because that's how the hand letterers did it in the pre-digital age. It's since become a natural part of the "comic book look." People simply expect the...

Aaah, Historie. Those were the days. I have faint memory of us scanlating the first four volumes. I should have known better. ;)

Chapter 8 and 9 are out. Thank you, Meriken, for the great translation.

If you haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet, you better do it now, because it only gets crazier from here on out.

Here's...

Thanks for pimping this series, Meriken. SOIL has been one of my personal favorites for years. Atsushi Kaneko is not just an accomplished artist, his story telling also has a Lynchian quality to it...

The Chicago Tribune, one of the most ardent supporters of the Republican Party, has officially endorsed Barack Obama for President. This is a historical event, for the last Democrat the Tribune...

Sarah Palin gave one speech and the Republicans already thought she's the next superstar who will help them win the White House. By that logic, Barack Obama should have locked the presidential race a...

Wow, McCain is elitist? How did you figure that out? We're talking about a guy with a private jet (owned by his wife), five houses and $500 loafers. The typical American Joe!

Miyi, you are, of course, free to bash Democrats all you want. I promise I won't be offended by anything you say. That's because I'm not a Democrat. :)

Besides, could you show me one single quote...

@Blasphemy: Bashing? Me? No way! All I'm trying to do is inject some humor into the campaign, which is, after all, what Sen. McCain has been encouraging us to do lately. If none of the above is true,...

Now that's some fundraising for you. Try to beat this, Obama!

I realize that a lot of people don't really know who John McCain is, because he has spent 90% of his campaign talking about Obama. So here's my contribution to a better understanding of the man who...

You know, I don't understand why some people are accusing John McCain of being an inflexible old fool. Below is a list of things John McCain has done which proves he is an intelligent man of great...

Whew, and I thought we might be in trouble for a second there. Let's face it, folks. Obama is just not one of us. He's elitist (he got a degree from Harvard after all!), out of touch (guy actually...

How dare he!

Quickly, go tell everybody in your family and neighborhood not to vote for Obama, because y'know, he might actually starts doing something against the economy crisis. As we all know,...

'sup, my friends!

Seeing how we all love Mr. Bush so much, I thought I should post this--admittedly a bit old--news, just to express my thanks to our great president. The Americans will literally...

Lies! Kotonoha will live FOREVAAAAR! Haha, just kidding! As long as richvh continues translating "Hyougemono" it will be scanlated. Whether or not the chapters will be released under the Kotonoha...

Hehe, yes, we were indeed interested in doing this manga (even before it was turned into an anime) but some other group snagged it before we could do anything. Effectively, it means that we're no...

Just a quick update to inform you that we have opened our IRC channel at

Drop by and say hello if you like. :)

Apparently, this series ran for a bit longer than previously announced. Anyway, it ended with chapter 7.

Finally, Boichi's second short story is here. Present is a touching love story about a man whose wife suffers from a rare and lethal heart disease. To prolong her life, her doctor puts her into...

In this chapter, Susumu goes to Sakura's house to deliver a handout. But is it really "safe" for him to be with Sakura alone in a room? ;)
...

Good question. Generally, we try to pick up projects that are outside the mainstream, that have something "special." It doesn't have to be high literature or something people would consider...

We'll release a new chapter tomorrow. :)

@Manu: I added a direct link to the first post. :)

Zindryr must be referring to "HOTEL," a cool sci-fi short story that we, Kotonoha, have worked on for a while. I'm quite proud of the result (even though I was not involved in the scanlating...

This is a mini-series. AFAIK it will only last for five chapters. The 2nd one just got out.

Japanese title: 死がふたりを分かつまで (Shi ga futari wo wakatsu made)

Don't think there is a Chinese version out yet though.

Hi Ayah,

Thanks for the welcome. It's a pleasure to be here and I hope I can contribute something to the community. I hope you enjoy reading the short stories we scanlated. :)

Cheers,
Nomad...

Hey, thanks for pimping us, zindryr! I hope you enjoy the short stories we did.

Things I recommend:
My Mysterious Girlfriend X (probably the weirdest romantic set-up you've ever seen. Expect the...

Hello there,

Some of you might have never heard of us, but we have been around for a few years, always lurking somewhere under the surface of the vast scanlation pool. Kotonoha ("word" in...
