Wowie zowie, we’re six years old today! We’re so old! :o And in celebration we have lots of goodies for you~ Special shout outs to star_light and Nevi for all their hard QCing work to make sure all of these releases were ready on time! I have no clue what I would without these two awesome ladies~ >_< And I was really hoping to upload our new layout for everyone, but I couldn’t since I don’t know how to put the new layout up on WordPress. I tried asking a few people, but they were busy or didn’t reply…can anyone out there help me? XD; Once we get our new layout up, our website will be sponsored by My Sensory Solutions (if you’re interested, please say we referred you). Enough talking though, I did that enough in the anniversary card; onto the releases!

But the concert must go on, and once she is rescued it’s right to performing for her! However, Aria’s bad luck doesn’t seem to be over. With someone throwing ink on her head, ruining her kimono, will Aria be able to still perform? Or will the culprit have their way in preventing Aria from having an outstanding performance?

Beauty_v03ch013Beauty!! volume 3 chapter 13: A Peaceful Tomorrow. In order to have the man she loves to be the first one to have her by her own choice, Makoto has decided to give herself to Mutsu. It’s her first time, so how do you think the two of them will do? ;D And thanks to this, their love can only continue to grow~ But that doesn’t stop Kazama, the student council president, from making his latest descision: The Beauty Research Club will be demolished  and now members can’t see each other! Will Kazama’s plan succeed in bringing Makoto and Mutsu apart so soon after their very romantic evening together?

Biyaku_Cafev01c02Biyaku Cafe volume 1 chapter 2: ~Full Moon~. This is the story of one of the other male hosts, Omi, and his romance with a studious customer named Tomomi. What’s a romance without a little drama due to misunderstandings though? But surely these two are meant for each other, because it’s Omi’s first time serving a tea that is correctly named and based on a person’s personality–Waxing Moon. As their relationship travels through all of the phases of the moon, will their relationship come to a full moon?

BrandPeace02-05Brand Peace volume 2 chapter 5: His and Her Expression of Love. Mii is now dating Yashiro. Things aren’t so perfect in paradise, however. Mii wants to be more lovey-dovey in a physical sense! And yet at the same time she feels like she doesn’t understand him completely, especially since he doesn’t tell her everything like, say, getting caught by the police. Will Mii be able to take the next step with Yashiro even though Yamato is actually spending the night at her house?

FlyHigh-v01c04Fly High! volume 1 chapter 4. Ruka has betrayed Ayuzawa and his plans have been thwarted temporarily. So, Meru takes her chance to learn more about the enemy. What are his weaknesses? His strong points? Why is he such a bully? Such information is not leaked out of Ayuzawa easily, and Ayuzawa has decided that revenge is a dish best served cold. By allowing Meru and her friends to prepare for the athletic festival, just what does he have planned this time in order to ruin everything…?

Galism-v02ch06Galism~Love Supreme Sisters~ volume 2 chapter 6: The Ugajin Family Mystery. The Ugajin’s Conquering Love Techniques secret manual is rumored to have the answer to allowing the daughters of the Ugajin family to remain with their loved one forever. Will Ran and her sisters be able to find it, as they tear their house apart? Once they find it, who will keep it? Although unfortunately for Ran, the contents of the manual are a huge and embarrassing surprise…

Hadashi-de-Bara-wo-Fume-v02ch11Hadashi de Bara wo Fume volume 2 chapter 11. Souichirou has finally allowed Sumi to cook in the kitchen as she feels a proper wife should! Will Sumi be able to make the wonderful meal she’s been hoping to make while using meat for the first time? Or will a surprising accident lead to a shocking discovery of what’s hidden inside of Souichirou’s soul? Sumi goes to the beach with Komai and runs into Nozomu by chance…but what are these words of love he begins saying to Sumi!?

Koi-Hirari-v01-ch04Koi, Hirari volume 1 chapter 4: Self-Awareness. Kazuki was waiting for Sumire in the morning. Does he have something to say to her? The two begin going through some reflection on the events of the past few chapters and Sumire in particular realizes something. Could it be…that she likes Kazuki? But this means that she’ll have lost, and Kazuki’s prediction has come true. Will that stop Sumire from admitting her true feelings to him?

love_berrish_v02_ch09Love Berrish! volume 2 chapter 9. Our awesome joint project with the lovely ladies at Intercross~ The athletic festival is nearing, but Yuuya still can’t seem to master jump rope! She’s practicing and practicing, but doesn’t seem to be getting anywhere. In fact, she’s come to realize that she may very well hold her team back from winning the all-you-can-eat-at-the-cafeteria prize! But that doesn’t stop Yuuya from trying to be friends with Shimizu, the so-called “leader of the girls.” Will her attempts go through to her?

Nagatachou-Strawberry-v03ch12Nagatachou Strawberry volume 3 chapter 12. After what Eri said to Hime, things are a bit awkward. Maybe a bit more than awkward. But what are two girls supposed to do when they’re friends and like the same boy? But Eri is Hime’s precious friend, and despite Eri’s cruel words, Hime still tries to make up with her. Will the power of friendship stronger than attempting to compete over the affections of one boy?

Origami-v2ch6Origami volume 2 chapter 6: God’s Name. Wow, it’s been so long since we had a release of this, I wonder if anyone can remember what happened? lol Well, I certainly can’t! @_@ And we might not see another chapter of this for a while again, unless someone’s interested in scanning it for us? But yeah I kinda don’t know what to write about this one! Let’s see, Yuna needs to get more power so she needs to figure out her origami’s name? Or will she and the hot guy Keita get their butts kicked by the spikey haired guy named Kai?

Star-Blacks-v2ch6Star Blacks volume 2 chapters 6 and 7. Yeah, I know, it’s been FOREVER since we last released this. And I apologize for that, but we should have it finished shortly. ;D You guys probably don’t remember what happened in this story either. Kisaki is all alone in trying to stop the demons from taking over. She’s in such a weak human body; she must become stronger! And thanks to a legend some guy who’s helping her out knows, she learns that there’s a someone very close by that Kisaki and can ask for help, however it’ll require a great sacrifice. Will Kisaki give up her soul in order to save humanity?

Remember, if you guys love these releases here and think “oh boy these people rock I really wanna help them out!!” we’re always looking for more translators, Japanese-English proofreaders, and editors~ But I hope you all enjoyed the releases we have for you today.

Happy Sixth Anniversary, Starry Heaven!!

Anniversary Countdown…

June 14, 2009 at 2:37 pm (Releases) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

Hey guys!! It’s finally time! The countdown until our sixth anniversary. ;D And in celebration of that, we’ll have a release everyday until our anniversary! Thanks so much to everyone who has been working so hard to help us make our anniversary great, especially star_light for being our new editor manager! Without her, I’d be such a mess and I don’t know what I’d do without her! So everyone be sure to check back everyday for our new release!

Momo-v02ch09Day One: It’s been a while, I know you’ve all been waiting for it, the final chapter in volume 2! We’re kicking off our anniversary countdown with Momo volume 2 chapter 9: Merry Christmas On Board. The setting is now Miyuu’s birthday party, on a great ship. Aboard this ship, will Miyuu be able to bring her plans for Momo’s debut to the world into successful motion? Or will Momo, who’s been through Miyuu’s BS for so long, finally put the little brat into place? And will Yume, who cares for Momo dearly, be able to finally speak up about her wishes to be by Momo’s side?

Strobe-Edge-v03ch09Day Two: Strobe Edge volume 3 chapter 9 is our second release! Thanks so much for Nevi for her awesome dedicated and quick editing towards this series. Now hopefully we can find Kuinni, our scanner, soon. It seems she’s too busy to send me an email. I hope I hear from her soon, otherwise, I may have to find a new scanner for volume 4… Found her! ANYWAY! Ninako can be so dumb. This chapter made me laugh a lot when I was translating it. Ninako fears that Andou is dying! And she has all the facts to show that he is…but is he really?

Akatsuki_no_Aria_v01_ch05Day Three: Akatsuki no Aria volume 1 chapter 5. Now I know this project may not be everyone’s absolute favorite, heck I’m not sure if many people even read it, but I personally really like it~ Historical manga are so interesting! >< And I may not be a musician, but I love the whole musical school stuff. Who doesn’t love a series about sibling rivalry? ;D In any case, the competition begins and is over, and the results are in! Who will be the one to play in the Saturday Concert? Aria or her jealous and competitive selfish half sister, Ayako? And what’s with all the roses that Aria has been receiving recently from a mysterious stranger? Could Aria be in danger?
And yeah, I’m aware of the new group/person that decided to come out of the blue and release chapter 6. We were going to release it on our actual anniversary date, but guess you guys get a different version early? :P

Boku-no-Hatsukoi-wo-Kimi-ni-Sasagu-v05ch22Day Four: Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu volume 5 chapter 22: An Honest Heart is our fourth release! I know you’ve all been going crazy waiting for the next release of our most popular project, so I apologize! School’s been rough and everyone’s been busy. Not to mention, we now lack a translator for Bokukimi. If anyone’s interested, please apply! Got one!
We last left Mayu telling Takuma to come to the bridge where they made their promise to each other. If he doesn’t go, then Mayu will give up on him for good! Takuma reveals the location to Kou in the case that he doesn’t go. Will Takuma go, forget about Teru, and be together with Mayu once again? Or will he make one of the worst mistakes of his life?

Beauty-v03ch12Day Five: Beauty!! volume 3 chapter 12: Please Don’t Leave Me is our fifth release. Whoa it sure has been a while, huh? Hopefully we’ll be able to keep bringing you chapters in a decent amount of time! We last left Makoto in the clutches of the student council president, Kazama. Makoto, without telling anyone, went to go return his umbrella, but it seems he’s not going to settle for giving her only a “thank you”! Will Mucchan come to her rescue? Will he be furious that she’s been tainted by another man? Although I personally think that if he had actually blamed her for Kazama taking advantage of her then Makoto should dump him!! Because that kind of fear and blame is a load of BS… =.= But anyway, hope you all enjoy the chapter more than I did!

Anta-Nanka-Daikirai-Story-1Day Six: And now for something new–Anta Nanka Daikirai story 1: I Can’t Stand You. This is the first story in a book of four oneshots by Sakurayama Kazumi. Rena likes Miyake. They’re both on the basketball team, and he’s just so cool! It all seems to be going very well between them, until the boys basketball team gets a new manager, Mariko. Mariko just seems to be a mean girl! She’s going out of her way to separate and purposely hurt Rena so she looks like she’s in the wrong. Will Miyake be able to see through Mariko’s horrible manipulations, or does he truly have feelings for Rena and be strong enough not to fall for them?

MaxLovely! Vol04 Chap06Day Seven: Max Lovely! volume 4 chapter 6 is our second to last release in the countdown. Finally, we’ve finished volume 4! Only 6 more chapters to go, and MAX Lovely! will be finished. We last left Airi and Taki in the middle of the cultural festival (I think?). Airi and someone hired by F participated in the cross-dressing contest, while Airi and Taki performed in a rendition of Romeo and Juliet. So does Airi have what it really takes to beat a real boy? And just why is Gorou revealing his true colors when it could possibly be the end of him? What will F do next in their attempt to unseat Airi and Taki?

Momoiro_Heaven_v01_ch02Day Seven: And the very last release in our countdown is one we haven’t released in a VERY long while, our other joint with ShoujoLove: Momoiro Heaven volume 1 chapter 2: “Escape From the Outside!?”. Momoko, the secret author of erotica novels, is now the slave of Ranmaru, the most desirable man of Japan! But being an author and a slave at the same time can be a bit tough, especially when you’re the sole caretaker of a little brother as well. What will happen in the crazy life of the non-sexy Momoko today?
Since I’m moving, I don’t have access to my manga for a while. If anyone has Momoiro Heaven and a scanner and is willing to scan their book us, please send me (Cheebs) an email, or else it could be a very long time again before we see more Momoiro Heaven! j00lz.style at gmail dot com is the place to find me. :) The amazing jojodacrow has offered her to scan this for us, so looks like this project will be all set!

And remember guys, we’re still looking for new recruits! Lots of projects are open, so please check out our recruitment threads in Starry Heaven’s forum.

Release: Cappuccino

June 11, 2009 at 1:33 pm (Releases) (, )

Oops, meant to release yesterday, but I got absorbed into Persona 4 again. I’m almost done though…but I don’t want it to end!! :’( I’m already in November though and I know it’ll end soon… :(

Cappuccino-v01c02So for today we have one that was held back due to magazines missing in the mail and our editor editing it and then losing her edits: Cappuccino volume 1 chapter 2. Ari and Sousuke now live a happy life together…or is it? Of course living with someone can be troublesome, especially for many women in modern-day Japan. Not only are they expected to hold jobs, but they’re expected to do all the chores as well! That’s just Ari’s troubles, however. Sousuke is getting himself into a whole other world of trouble…

Speaking of which, we actually need an editor for this project. We could also use more cleaners and translators for several of our projects! C’mon guys, you know you wanna help us bring more of our awesome projects out to you~ ;D
