Honto Yajuu vol 1 completed!  

Wow, it's been a long time!  I tried to finish this off weeks ago but things got in the way (mainly illness and school work) but my Christmas break has started now so there's nothing to get in the way of the releases for a while, yay.  So this volume's finished (featuring a different couple but it has a nice bit of fanservice so it's all good) but not to worry, there's another volume on the way.  So, not only has finishing off this volume made it a but I'm happy to say today was the first snow day in London.  It was extremely light and it didn't stick to the ground but that's only a good thing since I don't wanna freeze my arse off travelling on the Tube tomorrow.

Kafe Kara Hajimaru Love Life Completed!!  
Urrgh. I'm so tired my butt's achin' and not in the nice BL way. Even though it I managed to clean this relatively short chapter in under three hours yesterday, it still took 8 hours to typeset today, three hours longer than I'd thought it take. Still it feels very rewarding to have finished this manga off. I've had a lot of fun editing this and so a big thanks go to Blissful Sin who handed this project with the translations over to me. After the cliffhanger we were left with the last chapter, I was keen on seeing how it would end and I gotta say that the ending is very pleasing, more than I thought it'd be, so my rating for this manga has been upped quite a fair bit.   Download links below, my computer can't seem to handle megaupload at the moment so I'll upload it on there later.

Also a question to anyone who's seen the anime Ookiku Furikabutte and read the manga; is it worth downloading earlier the manga volumes if you've seen the anime because what I've done is continued with manga after finishing the anime and so I was wondering if there's anything I've been missing out on.

NEW PROJECT: Renai Zemi ch 1 by CJ Michalski.  

Hey guys, got the new project release for you! It's a shame it's a day late but that's cos I spent most of yesterday galavanting around the British Museum, taking pictures of Egyptian Mummies. This project is a really good one, I'm glad I've learnt enough to read the raw japanese and to translate it for you because I LOVE CJ MICHALSKI and I think you guys will love this one too.

I was sick on Monday so it turned out I wasn't able to go in to class to see my Jap teacher, so I want to give a really big thanks to [info]dthnix23 who was able to help with a few kanji's I couldn't read, as well as clear up a couple of key points I was confused about, without whom you'd probably have to wait a couple of weeks for the project release until I see my sensei.

It's quite a richly packed manga, so the cleaning and editing was a little harder this time compared to Honto Yajuu but just as rewarding and fun to read. So without much further ado, download below:

Renai Zemi

Shigeta Maki is stuck with the hardest lesson of his life. Being so much in love and with the object of his affections so far out of reach, he has no idea what to do. Lucky for him there's someone to show him the way...

I'll post more links if needed later, my internets acting a little funny and I wanna post these up before it completely blows up.


Thanks to all those who commented last week and gave me suggestions on what to do about missing my brother's birthday.  I went down and spoke to him that night and it seemed even he had forgotten his birthday.  I suppose he's a bit like Canada from APH in the respect.  He's coming home tomorrow from Uni for the half term break, so I think he'll be happy with his new speakers and the new tv I'm giving him.  Let's just hope I don't forget my sister's birthday next week.

Honto Yajuu ch 3 by Yamamoto Kotetsuko scanlated!  

As promised I've managed to complete this chapter by this thursday, even though there's only a half hour of thursday left where I am (At least it's still thursday elsewhere in the world. I thought I'd be strapped for time to do this, but it seems being busy is only keeping me more organised.

I've just finished translating a manga as well and so all I've got left to do is to check a few of the kanji's with my jap sensei and then I'll be able to reveal which one it is, along with it's first chapter release next thursday.

Big thanks to [info]dthnix23(the translator for this project) again who I haven't spoken to for sometime oddly.. Hope everything's good with you.

Lol, my dad thinks I'm still a child.  He used to walk me to nursury and then took me to primary school.  Through out the whole of secondary school he drove me everyday and even drove me to college, as well as to work.  Now, in my twenties, my dear old dad still insists on driving me everywhere.  I won't complain though. I get a free ride out of it.

Kafe Kara Hajimaru Love Life ch 5 Scanlated  

Hello again, time for another chapter of Kafe Kara Hajimaru Love Life. It's quite funny to see as an editor, how in this chapter especially, the mangaka seems to be getting a little tired at this point. The quality is still as brilliant as ever but there aren't as many large sound effects as there have been in the earlier chapters which in turn gives me an easier job, lol. I've finally managed to get my schedule sorted now that my courses have started again, so I'll be able to upload a release about once a week. Also, I've decided I'm gonna have a go at translating a manga myself, so all I need to do is find a good one I'll be able to handle. I was going to do Kirishima Tamaki's 'Shiba to Isho' but unfortunately it's already been liscensed as 'Ruff Love' (damn). I've got another manga in mind but I need to see if the Jap skills I've gained over these past three years are upto it first before I reveal which one.

There's not much that I've regretted over this year...perhaps I regret spending so much on clothes, teasing my younger brother about his crappy hairdo, as well as having my first cigarrette (I really wish I hadn't done it even though I've already smoked a cigar years ago) but what I REALLY REALLY regret is not taking a screenprint of when the Megaupload Captcha asked me to type in 'GAY7'.  It bugs me nearly every week.

Oh well.  Even so, I do have a screenprint of when it said 'WTF4'.  - If only I knew.

Honto Yajuu ch 2 Scanlated  
Finally managed to get my Adobe CS4 suite running and so editing this chapter was a piece of cake (cake just like the Victoria Sponge I made last week) hence the slightly ambitious 1st page insert. As always, many thanks to [info]dthnix23who has also finished translating the whole of the first volume for me, so I can get started on it right away. For those of you who haven't yet read it before, you really must catch dthnix's Mainich Seiten series (scanlated under the group name of the 'Forgotten Gem Box'), it really is brilliant and I can't wait until we get to the 9th volume when it's Akinobu's turn at love. After reading dthnix's scanlations, it makes me quite eager to get ahead of my own japanese studies. So far, I can understand a fair bit of Japanese speech (at least enough to translate a couple of BLCD's roughly for [info]doxxed_up, I've got links already up for the Maruse no Otoko translation for anyone who would like them) and I've just finished reading my first couple of raw manga's that have furigana (pronunciation on the kanji) on them and so I'm looking forward to the day I can whizz through them like dthnix, haha if that day ever comes. Well then, I hope you enjoy reading this chapter of Honto Yajuu as much as I did:

Kafe Kara Hajimaru Love Life ch 4 scanlated.  
Got this chapter done for you guys. The time spent on editing this did seem to go quickly seeing as I had my lovely BLCDs on my mp3 player to keep me company but I have noticed I waste way too much time in between releases. With that in mind, feel free to give me a nudge or a push whenever you're getting anxious for the next chapter. I get distracted very easily (so easily I almost failed physics back in college) so a 'WHERE'S MAH DAMN MANGA?' every now and then would definitely get my butt moving. I'm gonna get a start on ch 2 of Honto Yajuu as well, so hopefully you guys don't have to wait long. Also I noticed some of my links have gone so I'll be replacing them soon too. So in answer to the earlier question: 'THE MANGA IS BELOW'.

Side note now, though this is more connected to manga than it usually is: but I've been wondering if anyone's else has found their view of people changing 'cos of manga they've been reading.  I'm not just talking about views of homosexuality, though that counts as well I suppose but I mean more about character types.  I found that after reading a lot of manga (and I mean a huge amount), I've come to the point where I really dislike playboy types in manga, especially when they cheat on their partners.   It happens a lot in yaoi manga,  but I always keep thinking that the uke (and I suppose the mangaka too) is always too forgiving.   A lot of the time I think it'd be great if there was a bit more revenge to strike a balance between the two characters but you hardly ever see that happen.  I think Tateno Makoto's 'Warui Yume' is the only one I've read so far that does that but it took a long time and a more skeptical outlook later before I could read it again without feeling I was being stabbed with an angst-knife lol.   A knock on effect of all this has been that I've come to really cherish the pure characters (pure not naive) but annoyingly I find, they always fall for the ones that sleep around.   Lol, let's hope someday I find my cute, pure little prince(-ss cos I am a Seme not an Uke) and then I'll no longer need manga to fill the romantic deficit in my life (pfft, that'll never happen.  Manga is forever!  Go 2D Complex!)

Got a new project started up for you from the amazing Yamamoto Kotetsuko (mangaka for such works such as 'Brothers', 'Koi to Wana' and quite a few others).  As always, thank to the translator [info]dthnix23 who came up with the idea to do this manga, excellent choice. This first chapter hold much promise that we'll be laughing all the way through the two volumes, so go ahead and download below:

The other weekend, I went to look after my little cousin Sean whilst his parents went away. Set with all the things needed to entertain a kid and keep him happy, I thought I would be the one in charge. WRONG, he soon showed me who was really the boss. Not only did he show me how to turn the oven alarm off and fix the baby gate, HE ALSO HAD TO SHOW ME HOW TO USE THE DVD PLAYER! STEP BY STEP! AND HE'S ONLY 2 YEARS OLD! As a 21 year old myself, I'm thoroughly disgraced ~buh. I get the feeling I'm not the only one with stories like this.

Wahey! Kafe Kara Hajimaru Love Life ch 3 and another birthday.  
Well it's one birthday onto another and this time it belongs to a very very special person. Today is the birthday of my translator, the wonderful [info]dthnix23 who translated Heart ni Goyoujin and who you may also know as the translator for Nice Pitching and her own group the Forgotten Gem Box. As a present to her I've whipped out this chapter to celebrate her birthday with a special birthday message at the end.

Kafe Kara Hajimaru Love Life ch 2 by Takami Jiro scanlated  
Well hello!  Got another scanlation though I'm a bit miffed at my bad sense of timing.  I was hoping to get this out in time for one of my favourite seiyuu's, the super-fantastic Narita Ken-san (Seiyuu for Sesshoumaru in Inuyasha, Ishida Ryuuken in Bleach and endless other anime's and drama cd's) who's turned 45 today.  I say today (18th of May) but before I started editing I thought that with Greenwich Mean Time for where I am, it would mean that there would still be half of his birthday left in Japan.  Turns out I got it the wrong way round, Japan's already well into it's Tuesday and it's no longer his birthday.  Boo, oh well, atleast in America it's still his birthday and it's still only 7:30 in Japan and as we all know THE DATE DOES NOT CHANGE UNTIL YOU WAKE UP AFTER HAVING SLEPT, so keep on sleeping Nariken:

I would do fake cuts, except I've learned after the disaster that was last time, that the more you edit the links the harder it is to read it on HTML making it too difficult to edit them further.


Lol, something hilarious happened the other week at my first Graphics Design class, I was paired up with a woman that I was supposed to get to know for the purpose of our exercise and when I asked her to describe her personality, she answered: 'Well...I don't really like friends'.  Haha, whatever face your making right now, I had to hold it in and just keep smiling.  The crazy alarm definately went off in my head that day.

'Heart ni Goyoujin' complete and 'Kafe Kara Hajimaru Love Life' ch 1  
I've missed you!!

Eh-hem. Well it's been a long time since my last post but there's a very good reason for that though it does sound a bit silly. My right hand got crushed side-ways under some fat-lady's arse on the bus about a month ago and it's taken some time to recover. I swear I even heard a crunch as my hand got squished. To make up for my long absence I've got a multiple release for you; chapter 7-8 of 'Heart ni Goyoujin' (now completed) and chapter 1 of a new project 'Kafe Kara Hajimaru Love Life' - a spin off of 'Anata ga Oshiete Kureta Koto' or 'It Is What You Taught' by Takami Jiro. So go ahead and download below:

Update: Since all sendspace links were deleted, the projects have now been updated to savefile.

'Heart ni Goyoujin' ch 6 by Uchida Kaoru Scanlated.  
Hey there, I've managed to finish this chapter which for some reason took me a lot longer than it normal would (especially the last page of the chapter; even though I only a little bit left to do, I couldn't stop my self from staring off into space for absolutely no reason.)

This is a bit of a special release for me this time, as it's a goodbye gift to an internet buddy I met on Crunchyroll almost three years ago. Unfortunately she's had to rejoin the world that is 'reality' and deleted her LJ and CR accounts before I could say goodbye, I have no idea if she'll ever read this, or the this manga but the sentiments are still there. She aint dead, so I mighta gone a bit overboard with the last-page insert lol.

Moving on from that, this chapter's a real good one. Very sweet.

Guarding My Heart

What will Iwashita, the older salary man, do when his insecurities only grow after being confronted with a love-rival.  Who should Teru really be with?

Haha, I've recently gotten into 'Hetalia: Axis Powers' (Basically the characters are countries, and we follow them during the World Wars, see Baka-Updates).  IT IS BRILLIANT!  So funny and so cute and I swear it is dripping with Shounen-Ai (though some might disagree).  I've spent the last few days sifting through almost every fic in 'Hetalia Kink Meme' and it's left me very pleased but also quite confused as this is the first time I've found History and Politics sexually exciting.  My favourite character would have to be Tsundere England (not just because his Seiyuu is Sugiyama Noriaki, though yes, that was a big factor).  It really does feel weird to say 'I ship USA/UK'.

Oh yeah, thanks to all those regulars who always comment (it's interesting to see you in other places too like on the affiliate Forgotten Gem Box's page, I'm surprised at how many of you I can recognise now) as well to all those new commenters who make my day very, very happy. KYAA KYAA~ENDNOTE.

Here's the next chapter of 'Heart ni Goyoujin':

lol last year, as me and some of my friends were single on Valentines day, we decided to have a girls night out at the local nightclub. However me and one friend of mine happened to turn up early so we thought we'd go and grab something to eat - not realising of course, that on this most romantic of days, we looked like a lesbian couple. It was only afterwards I realised why all the couples around us were staring at us.

What did you guys do?

(lol I knew there'd be loads of yaoi releases today, lucky lucky!)

'Daddy! Arisawa Family' ch 3 by Kurekoshi Sakuya Scanlated & Completed  
I cant believe how long this has taken me to scanlate. It's been almost a month since my last release and I wish I could have gotten it out a couple of days ago but with the sheer number of pages, I think my hand would fall off from over use (and no I am not talking about...you know..) but I am glad that with this being such a large chapter, you guys can relax and read for a good while. (I love it when I can read whole volumes in one go).

This release celebrates my first completed multi-chapter project, which has filled me with pretty mixed feelings. It's a relief to get this project out of the way but it's also making me feel pretty lonely too which makes me wonder what the actual mangaka feels when she says goodbye to her characters. I hope the scanlation actually makes sense to you guys seeing as there were a lot of discrepencies along the way (meaning that I had to translate a few bits myself or try to make sense out of the translations sent to me). Most of all I'd like to apologise for the quality of the first chapter due to the awful scans I had, which only highlights how thankful I am to [info]meo1980 for sending me the cleaner scans.

The end of this project also means the beginning of a new one. After the next couple of 'Heart ni Goyoujin' releases, I'm starting 'Kafe Kara Hajimaru Love Life' the spin off to 'Anata ga Oshiete Kureta Koto' (It Is What You Taught), so look forward to that.

lol, well moving on from all that, here's what you really want:

Enjoy!!

To those who can actually see my profile page, have you noticed that rather than looking like a waste paper basket, the design at the top of the page looks more like a bin of men's used tissues after they...you know what..(again). Rather appropriate I suppose considering what I use this journal for.

Teal Torment & Pink Pride Bleach Fanfiction  
Title: Teal Torment & Pink Pride
Author: [info]sofeenalee
Characters: Grimmjow, Szayel
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Blatant OOC and bad humour.
Disclaimer: The characters belong to Kubo Tite, not me.
Summary: Grimmjow's in a spot of bother and there's only one person he can turn to.
Notes: I know this is gonna be a pretty awful read but I couldn't resist writing something for my favourite espada. This fic seems pretty Grimmjow-centric but Szayel does prove that he is the star of the show.

'Heart ni Goyoujin' chapter 4 by Uchida Kaoru scanlated  
I got a bit bored last night and so I decided that it would be fair to make you wait ages for another chap from this magnificent Mangaka and so I've completed it as fast as I could. Hopefully the quality of my editing is still the same as ever, though I can't be completely sure as I'm a little bit tired (I'm so tired, I almost wrote 'sure' as 'shore' and didn't think twice about it just now haha).

After doing the last chapter, I decided to have a little go at translating myself and it only made me realise a) how my reading level is worse than 6 year old japanese kid and b) how much of a genius [info]dthnix23 must be, to be able to read Kanji like it's nothing. I had actually spent about 2 hours translating just 1 line of a speech bubble (sifting through thousands of tiny kanji to find the right one lol). I won't give up completely but I dont think that I'll ever be great as dthnix23. I mean, dthnix23, not only translates every single thing on the page but also has it make sense. I won't say who but one scanlating group recently released a chapter but it did not make any sense to me at all. It only makes me realise how lucky I was to have picked dthnix23 to be my translator.

Anyhoo..this chapter is a real goodie, a continuation of the previous chapter (Yay! This couple is the best!) and so download below (you guys tend to like Mediafire more than Sendspace I've noticed, though I would agree with you) :

After The Talking

'In this chapter we join the doting Takeuchi and cute Iida again to see how they fare now that they are finally together. As happy as Takeuchi is, it seems all is not going well as he hoped when Iida starts to avoid him.'

SIDENOTE: The other night, I had a fantastic dream, so much so, I put in an insert about it into this chapter. I am now obsessed with Ishida from Bleach (well both the Ishidas if I must be honest), even though I never used to be and last night I was blessed have him grace my dreams, if only you could have seen what I saw - oh boy! By the way, I like him the way a Seme likes an Uke and the other way around for Ryuuken, that's why they are my ultimate fantasy pair, though this has got nothing to do with anything, as always lol.

'Heart ni Goyoujin' chapter 3 by Uchida Kaoru scanlated  
Here we go then, another chapter of Heart ni Goyoujin. Not much to say this time apart from I've noticed it's actually getting easier to edit most likely because I'm getting used to doing it in a more robot-like fashion. Big thanks to [info]dthnix23 again for sending three chapter translations all in one go, so hopefully it wont be too long before the next chapter comes out. I gotta say, the pair in this chapter is by far the cutest so far.


Let's Talk Till We're Sick Of It

'Takeuchi is the most popular guy in school and for some reason can't seem to draw his eyes away from the strange and small, food-loving Iida.'

On a side note, my sister's got a wedding interview (it's exactly like an omiai, she's not too keen on it) and I'm really not kidding when I say this but the prospective marriage dude's name is 'BIPLOB'. HAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!! I swear, you couldn't make it up!

Oh yeah, and sorry for the last 2 pages. I wanted to round the number of pages to 40 and then couldn't resist making those inserts.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! & HAPPY BIRTHDAY NR!!!  
Hey there, wish you guys a very happy new year and a new beginning. Especially to my good friend NR who happens to be exactly a half year younger than me (dammit! I'm getting old!) with her birthday today. I asked her what the very first thing she'd be doing on her 21st Birthday and she said: 'Taking a dump'.

Well moving on from my coarse friend's bowel movements I hope you guys take note of the first dream of the year (let me know if you actually dream of Mount Fuji, an eagle and an aubergine/eggplant), perhaps (if you are still able to) view the first sunrise, as well as maybe visiting the local shrine (if there's not one available maybe you could make your own and chuck a coin in.)

All in all let's hope that we all have a great year with lots to look forward to on Livejournal, Crunchyroll, Bakaupdates and everything else that japanese culture can offer.

'Daddy! Arisawa Family' chapter 2 by Kurekoshi Sakuya scanlated  
So after some trials & tribulations (well not so much trials & tribulations as burps & hiccups seeing as the scans I got from [info]meo1980 were so good, I did the editing at a really lazy pace) I've managed to get chapter 2 done before the festive season starts. I've had a look through chapter 3 and it's so flipping long (seriously, over a 100 pages!)that I'll probably release it in parts unless you guys would rather I did it in one go. Editing this project is a real delight as you rarely come across such pure and romantic guys like Tomoki, so let's find out shall we; What's going to happen now that Tomoki's run away!

On a slightly disconnected topic (lol I've noticed that I tend to add on unrelated crap at the end of my posts, thus proving my Rambles are indeed Random.) I'm not particularly fond of my real name and had been hoping to actually change it to Sofeena Lee seeing as I use it all the time when I go out HOWEVER I realised the other day that if I were to type in this pseudonym into google, tons and tons of things related to YAOI would come up and so now I can't legally change my name to Sofeena Lee unless I want my family and friends to find out that I am infact a Boy's Love manga fangirl and and a severe Anime otaku (dammit, who would want that!) Lol, It's harder than I thought to lead a double life.

'Heart ni Goyoujin' chapter 2 by Uchida Kaoru scanlated  
HAHAAHHAAAHAAA (Sorry, I'm feeling a bit manic right now). Hello to all those from Baka Updates (as well those who befriended me here on livejournal)

So, we've got another chapter of Uchida's work to enjoy. I gotta say that this release was particularly fun to work on as you find yourself thinking things like 'I wonder which Font an orgasm is?' (I settled on Big Fish Ensemble) and so on. The biggest thanks for this has to go to [info]dthnix23 for translating this project, who so kindly helped me (after I sent a rather desperate message to get this project finished) and sent the translation to me super fast the other night.

I hope you enjoy this one, I know I did (and I think that this was the reason I randomly decided to watch Ookiku Furikabutte again). I think I'll take a little break before doing more editing but don't worry, the second chapter of 'Daddy! Arisawa Family' will be released soon as well as more chapters of 'Heart ni Goyoujin'. So then here you go:

Story 2 - Only Under The Sun

'Hoshino Ryouji, a high school baseball player finds himself to be in a year long low, with his interest in baseball waning but what could the reason be? Could it actually be because of his older brother?'

(Just as a little side thing, the other day, because I'm the type of person whose up for most things, I decided that I'd try a bit of Hentai anime to see what it's like. I thought it'd be ok but I was absolutely HORRIFIED. Not so much because of the content but because the English dubbing of the woman sounded exactly like my patronising Aunt - who happens to sound just like Nicky Hambleton-Jones from '10 Years Younger' though only peeps in England will know who she is. I can tell you I won't be going near Hentai for a long time. Urgh!)
