I've labeled this chapter as 36.5 since it occurs in between events in chapter 36, the last chapter of volume 4.

My new site seems to be shaping up quite well. Just need a few minor adjustments and to figure out how to make it work on this server. When the time comes, this is how everything is going to work;

There will be 2 separate sites, one used for announcing new releases and my scanlations in general and the other one as a blog where I receive all your comments and place where I put all the extra stuff that I work on.

There's still one more extra chapter to go for kimikiss, and then it'll be marriage royale and possibly another title which I have yet to decide.

It is quite hard to decide on a shonen romance title with little to no fan-service these days. I thought that maybe I should go for a shoujo title, but that'll be targeting an entirely different audience.

Hope to see you all again soon.

Some of you may be wondering about the lack of progress in the past few days.

The fact is, for a few weeks now, I've always wanted a better looking website then my current one, which is build from 100% recycled material. So then, I went to a bookstore and bought a really good textbook using html, xhtml and css.

I am still working on the new site as we speak and I am very exciting to show you all what I'd done with it when it gets done.

As for the next release, the Eriko Extra Chapter, it can come as early as tomorrow, but it will definitely be done by the day after. 

Until then....

Looks like this wraps it up for all of the main arcs. Onemanga, I believe that this would be the last chapter that you guys will be uploading for this series since I don't believe you guys would include extra chapters in your site (at least for this series). Left you guys a thank-you message in the actual chapter.

Having to advance in rank from the 140's to 86 at onemanga since I first started with kimikiss was truly unbelievable. 

As for everyone else, we have 2 more extras to look forward to. You should probably not expect them until sometime next week as I need to sort out other parts of my life first.

Until then.....have fun and look forward to the upcoming christmas season.

Alright everyone,

Next chapter will be the finale for this arc, so look forward to it.

You can't believe how much photo shopping it took me to get this chapter done. Take a look at page 14-15 of the chapter and compare that to the RAW of the same page. Even the colored version of it in the first chapter of this volume is easier to do than this one.

I'm glad I got this over and done with.

The next one will hopefully be out sometime tomorrow so look out for it.

Just 2 more to go until the Yuumi arc ends.

You will notice that the title for this chapter is different from that of the contents page in chapter one. This is what happens when you don't read the actual chapter before coming up with translations for the chapter titles. Although, it is the first time that I'd made a mistake after doing that, I will remember not to do it again.

I think all the other titles are correct as they are pretty much self explanatory.

Anyways, enjoy the chapter

Okay,

Uploaders of Manga Reading Sites that are not on the list below;

Mangafox
Mangahut
Mangatoshokan
Onemanga

let's clarify things one more time and I'll be sure to write up a detailed terms of use and make it available on this website and on manga helpers if possible. That will be available by the end of tomorrow.

Firstly, please DO NOT provide/create direct links to downloadable material of my releases.

Secondly, please DO ask me before you provide the read online option.

Please understand, that I do not dislike online reading sites, but you have to tell me that you exist before uploading my releases. That isn't too much to ask is it?

I was a bit upset in my previous announcement because one of my releases on otakuworks was posted under another scanlation group's name. I didn't mean to enforce anything.


minase

I had mentioned on several occasions on both the official site and the Hatsukoi-scans Manga Helpers Webpage in the past month that for those who wish to host my works must ask me for permission via email: minase.hatsukoi.scans@gmail.com found at the Hatsukoi-Scans official website: http://hatsukoi-scans.dmon.com/

The rule I should point out is found here: http://hatsukoi-scans.dmon.com/faq/1-1

Request that are to be made anywhere else are deemed to be ignored.

Despite this, otakuworks had not submitted a written request by email to host my works. I hereby request explanation for the actions of otakuworks at the earliest time possible. Depending on your response I will decide whether to allow you to continue hosting my works.

Otakuworks have 7 days to respond. If not, I will cease to provide future releases and post the reason for that decision on the hatsukoi-scans official website.

This is the list of "Online Reading Sites" that I have authorized to ... Read more »

Yeaaahh!!!

Somehow, managed to squeeze this one into my hectic schedule. But it's done. So enjoy.

From this point on, you'll see some resemblances in story to the animated version, but with other surprises too. I won't spoil it anymore than that.

Stay tuned readers. There's still quite a bit to go.

Finally, I got this one done.

It's been so hard to find time to scanlate at this period in time when I have alot of assignments coming up at university. And then comes the final exams after that. But don't worry, the releases will not be affected (at least I hope not). Just that I can't marathon, that's all.

For those ppl (if any) who do read the RAWs and wonder where I got the translations from; to answer that question, my intention is to move away from word for word translations. However, the concept is very much the same. Just that if I do it word for word, it does sound quite awkward and at most times, would fail to express the emotions that the reader should experience. If you have issues with my translations please do not post it here but email me your enquires directly. You can find my email address in the "contact us" section.

Here it is,

I know that I said that I'd try to marathon it, but it doesn't seem like it can happen yet at this stage. Looks like I'd have to wait for the opportunity once again.

For the kimikiss fans out there, I hope you are aware that for the anime, each heroine has their own character single. In it, each of them sings their own version of the anime OP and also includes a voice drama.

I am currently working on translating Mao's voice drama, which I find quite interesting and I will post it on this site when I am done. I will include all the kanji, the romanji as well the english translations. I am currently about a quarter of the way there after starting it just yesterday afternoon and it is a 5 minute clip. I'd wanted to fansub it and release it in video format but then, I wouldn't be able to post it here, would I? Please don't ask me for the reason as it is the same as to why I can't put my scanlation releases in this site.

Anyways, enjoy the chapter... Read more »
