please forgive the broken links after 2004. i’ve moved to just having one file for the updates for all of the manga pages and just forcing SSI so they conform to the specific pages’ layouts. all of the 9/1 updates links are good… we’ll see what kind of a need there is for updating the rest. 
i don’t know if it’s as painfully obvious to anyone else as it is to me, but 2 years have passed by since i last logged into here. XD of all of the pages listed under my manga stuff, this is the last one to go up. (for some reason, the updates page is always one of the last ones to go live whenever i do a total overhaul). i know that the pages have fallen into disuse over the last year or so due to the inherent bustle of school life and scrounging for a job… not to mention the really tiring worse-than-blah layouts.. hopefully, these are better, and i’ll be good enough to plug in an update or two every so often. i still welcome contributions [properly-credited] and comments. the layout to playing with words was updated late in 2003. the layout to hana to yume collective was updated late august 2004. ohoshisama ni onegai! went back up after a long downtime when i decided that i wasn’t going to do a layout overhaul for it… because there was no need. the ohoshi page will remain where it is for informational purposes, and maybe someday i’ll start “updating” it again. the depths of loneliness also went back up without changes, because i didn’t find it necessary. the messageboard is once again manned by me. the actual page updates are as follows:
the depths of loneliness
tankubon info
playing with words:
tenshi no sumu heya translation
hana to yume collective
title update of running series for hana to yume and its sister magazines
skip beat! synopsis
demon seiten (sacred) synopsis
oniichan to issho synopsis
rakuen RUUTO synopsis
finally! i sat down to do the layout change so that the hana to yume collective could go back up. info is not up to date as of 2 years… but i’ll rectify that soon.
Long time, no update. Sorry about that. I really hadn’t meant to, but the last month has been hell on earth. And it doesn’t look like I’m gonna have more free time over summer. I’m hoping to keep this up, though. Anywayz, to kick off summer, there’s new synopses for Kedamono Damono, Smile!, M to N no Shouzou, and Osero..
Sorry not as many updates lately. I’ve got lots and lots of work to do… Anywayz, I updated the ISBN information page last weekend… I just have to update the Hakusensha and Shogakukan manga I have now… ^^ (Can you believe I have even more manga? ^^; )… I’ve also started an online journal… ^^; Find me rambling about random topics there… ^^; Anyway, wanted to tell you that Parfait Tic Step 24 has been translated and is now up….
Finally added synopses to Tsuki no Ko (Moon Child) by Shimizu Reiko and Dear Mine by Shigeru Takao to core list as well as pics to some of the series…
Just realized that I’ve linked my “a short thought and isbn info” links in the hana to yume collective wrong.. Anywayz, Kiss now has a preview pic.. Currently working on various translations, but being delayed by 48-hour drama series that I can’t understand a word of (huan zhu ge ge)…. ^^;
Checked horoscope today.. Said “Get back to a writing project that you started a while ago. Perhaps you were inspired to start a travel journal, a poem, a song, or a web page. Pick up where you left off and follow through with your initial goals. At first you may think that what you are doing isn’t that interesting or exciting, but after the project is completed, you will find that other people are incredibly inspired by what you have created. Gird up your loins and go to it!” Pretty good indication, huh? ^^ Anywayz, put up synopsis for Kiss last night. Updated ISBN information for Hana to Yume titles. Just realized I’d gotten a lot of manga since my last update.. ^^; (I’ve got about 400 total now.. ^^; )
Finally put up synopsis for Power!!. To add to that, I also put in the Chapter 1 summary for aforementioned story.
Forgot to mention it, but about a third to a half of the synopsis/review pages are finished reformatting. All synopses are up, but the remaining work is mostly pictures and changing the color to the ISBN page. I’ve decided to put in summaries to some stories that I’d love to do but have no time to translate at the moment in playing with words. Parfait Tic Step 15 summary is now up.
