Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi ~Onodera Ritsu no Baai~

‘Takano-san loves Onodera-kun a lot~’

Upload’s done! CLAMP-SENSEI RECOMMENDS SEKAI ICHI HATSUKOI: There was a rumour going on before, that Clamp would be doing an illustration comment on the release of Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi tankoubon. So, there you go~ The rumoured illustration comment from Clamp-sensei stated in Romantica Club promo pamphlet. (Ha! I always knew Clamp is a strong supporter of BL, but I wish they’d hurry up with Gohou Drug.) Next time, I should check with Kadokawa Shoten first. This tankoubon… only includes the first two chapters of Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi - the first chapter that was published in THE RUBY in November 2006 and the second chapter that was pubished in THE RUBY VOL.2 in July 2007. No chapter 3, so NO ISAKA T_T. Thank goodness Shungiku-sensei presented us with chapter 2.5, and a very pretty full-coloured illustration (gah! the Nowaki-Shinobu resemblance is still uncanny!) Seriously, Kadokawa had to be joking when they said ‘only one volume’. SIH can’t have only one volume!! With the publication of the 4th chapter, this call for another tankoubon! Grr…

I’ll put that issue aside first. By the way, we already have Suzuki-san, piyo (cute little chicks~), ahiru (rubber ducky) and pandas as the mascots for Junjou series. I think we have mascots too for SIH. This cute bunny (and a cat that only appeared in the Drama CD cover so far)~

I guess we all should have seen this coming, since SIH is still in Junjou universe. So now, before download links are posted, I’ll write some info on what SIH is all about for those who haven’t read it.

Characters: Saga/Takano Masamune, Onodera Ritsu, Yokozawa Takafumi, Hatori Yoshiyuki (reminds me of JR’s Asahina), Kisa Shouta, Mino Kanade

Background Info + Summary: Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi (SIH) is a love comedy between Onodera Ritsu and Takano Masamune, set in Nakamura Shungiku’s famous Junjou Romantica universe. The characters are employees working for Marukawa Shoten (yes, that also translates as Isaka’s employees). While Junjou gives us the novel-publishing part of the company, SIH allows us to see the manga-publishing part of Marukawa, where Takano is the editor-in-chief for a shoujo manga publication. His subordinates are constantly pressured into working extra hours, and Ritsu, who transferred to Marukawa from Onodera Shuppan (his father’s company), got himself into more than one trouble with his own decision.

That is… Takano Masamune happened to be Saga Masamune, his senpai whom he went out with 10 years ago when they were still at school. Takano and Ritsu didn’t part on good terms; Ritsu believed that he was toyed by Takano when his declaration of love was answered with a laugh. Takano, however, had no idea Ritsu thought that way, and couldn’t forget Ritsu even after 10 years. He couldn’t be with anybody else because of his memory of Ritsu, and Ritsu couldn’t be with anybody else because of Takano too. Now, as they meet each other again in a new environment, Takano firmly tells Ritsu “I’ll make you say you love me again. Prepare yourself!”. Ritsu is torn between the affection he still holds for Takano and his feelings of being hurt.

As if Ritsu is not troubled enough by having to see Takano every day at work, he later finds out that Takano is actually his next-door neighbour:

Takano: That’s fast.
Takano: Have you come to confess already?
Ritsu: Huh? What are you talking about? Speaking of which, this is…
Ritsu: … my house, but… (since about a year ago)

Takano’s is #1201 while his is #1202. This explains why he keeps feeling his heartbeat getting faster in Takano’s presence, not only because Takano is Saga-senpai, his first love and first heartbreak.

To make things worse while Takano and Ritsu play a game of hide-and-seek and hard-to-get (on Ritsu’s part, at least), Ritsu is cornered occasionally by the manager, Yokozawa Takafumi (dubbed as Marukawa Shoten’s famous violent bear), who is a close acquaintance of Takano. Can he just fall in love peacefully this time around?? Yokozawa obviously knows who Ritsu is, and of Ritsu and Takano’s past, based on this conversation:

Yokozawa: Did you come because you know Masamune is in Marukawa?
Ritsu: Huh? Excuse me, what are you talking about?
Yokozawa: Do you know that it’s your fault Masamune became all strange?
Ritsu: ‘Huh? My fault? What is? What is this person saying?’
Ritsu: Er… Excuse me. You meant to say that…
Yokozawa: … I don’t want to worry about it.

The resemblance between Yokozawa and Takano is uncanny. But well, Yokozawa also looks a LOT like Isaka. I thought they were brothers at first. I was like “Ah, too bad his name isn’t Isaka.” Or maybe he’s related to Takano, because he calls Takano by his first name (Ritsu is troubled by this). Download to read it yourselves~ All of my scans for SIH are either 300dpi or 150dpi in quality, hence the size. Also, note that in SIH, chapters are called ‘No.’ (as in number, #) as opposed to ‘Act’ in JR.

Junai Romantica and Junai Egoist Novels

I’m supposed to order my copy of Junai Egoist volume 3 and Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi, but I haven’t gotten around to doing so just yet. I guess I’ll pay for my July accommodation fees first and then think about it. Anyway, here I’m sharing 3 volumes of Junai Romantica novels and 2 volumes of Junai Egoist. Everything’s in Japanese, but you’d like the Shungiku-sensei’s marvellous artwork.

For the curious: Junai Romantica and Junai Egoist are supposedly the BL novel series written by Usagi as Akikawa Yayoi. The novels are actually written by Fujisaki Miyako, and illustrated by Shungiku-sensei. I get lots of LOLs and AWWs from reading the novels, and I haven’t finished them yet! Reading and looking up unfamiliar kanji characters made my eyes go all *_* and @_@. Ahaha~

The illustrations are… um… explicit, but some are really sweet. Though I think we could do with some more illustrations. Back to the novel. Since they are novels written by Usagi, you can expect loads of smexing and of course, OOCness. I don’t know how Usagi views Nowaki, but his version of Nowaki is drool-inducing and… slightly (I lied. It should be ‘a lot’ instead of ’slightly’ XD) more perverted in the novels. You’ll need a fan at the ready~ Recommended for all JR fans with Japanese language knowledge, and for collectors who simply love Shungiku-sense’s artworks. There are manga snippets in the novel too, especially the ones dealing with Misaki’s reaction upon reading the novels. And to celebrate the decision to make direct downloads available again… here you go.

[DOWNLOAD] *see/read the previous entry for some announcement/news

LOL for Takahiro in this episode~ He looked so much dorkier than he did in the manga for this scene. And of course, the BGM and the flowery visual effects did their job perfectly.

Anybody else agree that the Kimi = Hana instrumental that played when Misaki was trying to, urm, service Usagi was a mood lifter? Last time I heard it in Egoist, I went and bawled my eyes out (T_T). Bleh, I am so easily affected by songs and music (only because I’m rarely affected to tears by real-life situations… some said that to me).

Alas, the smex in this episode is nonexistent. But we have the plot to make up for the lack of smex, and Misaki blurting out “lover” is so much love! Of course, the cute (and very flowery) “Ore?” scene is love too~

Oh, ok ok. I’ll stop rambling now. *zips mouth*

Now I shall try and figure out how to properly manage the new server. No, we haven’t moved yet. I’m using one of my unused domains for the testing purposes XD. Soon….

EDIT: Uploaded to MediaFire by Nina (<3):
Part 1 | Part 2

I am… not so satisfied with this episode. While they didn’t cut the Hiroki-freaking-out scene, they did cut the ‘1 box of tissue, please’-'2 boxes!!’ at the airport. And I was looking forward to Miyagi yelling at Shinobu to just get on the next plane and go to wherever the heck he wanted to go.

The “Speak Japanese!!” part is also missing T_T

Ahh….

Later, because I’m actually in a rush~ I’m an acting ‘tourist guide’ for my friends who’re visiting from Wellington today

[Doujinshi Scans] - “Sekai de Ichiban Lulu (Mama) ga Suki!” and “Onsen Monogatari”

Something you might see me post on my LJ and Aarinfantasy as well, but wth, this is my blog anyway XD I scanned these doujins, and hope you enjoy them! As usual, please leave a comment if you download! Image files are all 150dpi in quality.

Title: Sekai de Ichiban Lulu (Mama) ga Suki!
Fandom: Code Geass - Hangyaku no Lelouch
Pairing: Suzaku x Lelouch
Circle: HIMUKATEI
Doujinka: Himuka Tohru
A few NC-17 pages, otherwise, all cute stuff~
Download : (Megaupload) - (Direct)

｢オレは不可能を可能にする男…ですから。｣
“Because… I’m a man who can make the impossible possible.”

Married SuzaLulu for the win! LOL for Lulu being both feminine and masculine at the same time. This doujin is my cure from all the other angsty (and creepy for some) doujins that I’ve been reaing ~_~

Shirley accusing Lelouch of being a woman is one thing, Lelouch and Suzaku’s lame (and totally not creative) naming sense for their sons is another. Honestly, Little Lulu (Chibi Lulu. Reminds us of Chibi Usa in Sailor Moon, no?) and Junior?? What the hell, you guys?

Little Lulu calls his parents ‘Haha-ue’ and ‘Chichi-ue’ while Junior calls his parents ‘Otou-san’ and ‘Okaa-san’. What a difference in the degree of politeness XD

I love page 16!!

J: Okaa-san! Okaa-san! I love you!
L: I love you too, Jr.
J: I love Little Lulu too! But you’re # 2, okay. (#1 is Okaa-san, okay?)
LL: Ok!
S: Jr., what about me? (Am I #3?)
J: Hm….
J: Number 6.. (I think?)
How subtle…

Hahaha! Number 6! I wonder who’s number 3, 4 and 5. Poor Suzaku. But he’s cured on page 17, because darling Little Lulu said he loves his Chichi-ue the most~

When Jr. said he’s going to marry Little Lulu and got told not to, Little Lulu was confused. “I’m… a boy. Eh? But Haha-ue is a man too…”.  Narrator: This is the first time Little Lulu learns about how some things are better left unsaid.

I could write a lot about this doujin, but it would spoil your fun, then. Read first, and whatever you don’t understand can be asked away XD

Title: Onsen Monogatari
Fandom: D.gray-man
Pairing: Kanda x Allen
Circle: Peace-dinner
Doujinka: Rino
A few NC-17 pages, otherwise, all cute stuff~

“We’ve been going out for a month and Kanda never kissed me even once!”

Kanda and Allen had been seeing each other for a month, and the group was currently in Japan. Allen was really looking forward to going out with Kanda to the Matsuri. He even fantasised all kind of romantic things a couple can do at such festivals. Kanda was left to wonder Allen’s mental health when his boyfriend kept daydreaming and making weird expression.

I swear, Lavi, Lenalee and Reever were ganging up on Allen. They kept showing up whenever something was about to happen. And when Allen got drunk?

We get a VERY cranky Allen. Allen Walker + interruptions + UST = Very Naughty and Evil Allen XD

And there’s a very short extra at the end. Lavi dared to ask Allen if his hair ‘down there’ was also white O_o Haha~

Oh Allen… XD

Download Links
1. Direct Download
2. Megaupload

I didn’t post the link up because I was waiting for the HQ version of the video to be available, hence the delay This one is of better quality, so I guess it’s safe to share~

Looking at Shinobu’s face but seeing Kaname Kuran in his voice is a funny thing to so, and I couldn’t help but giggle helplessly in a very fangirlish manner.

Note on Episode Title for the Curious:
少年 (shounen) = Youth

大志 (taishi) = From dai/tai (big, great) and kokorozashi (will, intention) literally translated into ‘great intention’, which means ‘ambition’ in one way or another

抱け (idake) = embrace/hug

Cheers~

[Doujinshi Scans] - Julietta and Hero Complex

A bunch of stuff arrived in my mailbox today! Well, technically they arrived at the reception desk of my apartment, but well… I have my laughter-inducing Knight anthologies and my doujinshis. More to arrive soon, but I’m still happy. Too bad I’m still waiting for my JR collection T__T I knew I should have chosen EMS.

2. Megaupload

Story 1

“Lelouch is like a cat~”
｢ルルーシュってネコみたいだよねー｣

Suzaku got bullied again at school, and Lelouch was pissed off when he saw what was done to Suzaku. Suzaku was resigned to the fact that he’s still Japanese despite being an Honorary Britannian, and tried to get Lelouch to not go on a rampage on his behalf. Lelouch told him to call his name from that day onwards if he gets bullied again. Suzaku thought the way Lelouch acted resembled a cat.

The end is really cute. Suzaku asked Lelouch to try saying “Nya~”, and of course, he got told off.

Story 2

“…Fall to the bottom of irreversible sins.”
｢引き返せない罪の底へ…堕ちる｣

Lelouch was troubled by Suzaku’s role in his rebellion against Britannia as he contemplated his part as Zero. They haven’t met for a while, and Suzaku missed him~

“What was that, what was that? What just came out of the closet~
｢なになに？クローゼットから何か出た～｣

This doujin is a sweet one. Lelouch woke up to find Suzaku looming all over him on his bed, and in his room to boot. He fell asleep in the School Council room, and Suzaku darling-carried him Just before leaving the room, Suzaku hesitated and confessed that when Lelouch was asleep, he kissed him. Lelouch was shocked, but then he surprised Suzaku by saying he didn’t mind. Keep reading, and you’ll have a reason to kick C.C~

Junjou Romantica Episode 9 (RAW)

Junjou Romantica 09 - RAW
Nasake wa Hito no Tame Narazu (One Good Turn Deserves Another)
(Download)
*please comment if downloading

This episode is really cute, isnt it? Hiroki’s mom is such a fangirl And Usagi is just SO adorable. I wonder what would have happened to the main JR storyline had Usagi remained THAT adorable, and innocent O_o.

Note on chapter title:
情けは人の為ならず　(nasake wa hito no tame narazu) literally refer to the belief that when you show compassion to others, others will treat you with the same compassion. Frankly, it’s saying that mercy does not only benefit others

I would write more, but I’m quite busy for the time being. One more assignment to hand in on June 11, and then I can fly~ Only 1 paper for finals, and that’s not until the 28th. Yes, Winter Break! Time to do lots of productive thingies~

Junjou Romantica Episode 8 + Sub (SoftSub) and Something Like A Rambling

Junjou Romantica 08 - Tabi no Haji wa Kaki Sute
(Leave Your Senses At Home)
(DOWNLOAD VIDEO FILE) - (DOWNLOAD SUBTITLE FILE)

If I happen to disappear from JI or JF, you might want to check out my LJ for my whereabout (at least I could post to LJ with my phone…)

I also know that I’m putting the SoftSubs on hold, but that shouldn’t be much of a problem because I know many of you usually download from Aarin and that many of you understand Japanese. My SoftSubs, like I said, is like my practice sheet. I’ll catch up later when I have time. For the next couple of weeks, I’ll be VERY busy.

Anyway, I think I should post the following. It’s intended for certain people for only come here looking for download links and never bother to actually read what I wrote. In other words, below are for some leechers.

Things You Shouldn’t Bother

Sometimes, when you’re being really nice, you get taken advantage of. Sometimes, when you want to pretend you don’t care, you can’t because then people would start pointing fingers at you.

1. Wooa, nice uploads. What’s RAW stand for?

Oh, I don’t know. Meat that hasn’t been cooked, maybe? I’d like to assume that you’d at least know what RAW means if you download mangas online.

2. Why can’t I download the sub file?

If you actually bothered to actually READ what I wrote on the whole entry, then maybe you’d know why.

3. Why haven’t you translate them all yet?

Maybe because unlike what you think, I actually have other things to do as well.

4. You didn’t update for long. I’ve been checking every week and there’s nothing new.

And which page do you check, if I may ask?

5. Your page is boring.

I’m so sorry for that. There’s nothing I could have done to make it ‘not boring’. Thank you for looking, anyway.

6. Can you guys translate them faster?

First of all, I am an individual so please just address me as ‘you’ instead of ‘you guys’. Second, this is a blog. Please understand.

One more thing… If you guys are commenting on my uploads, please comment on that entry, not in other sections of the site such as ‘About’, etc. Unless you’re commenting directly about what I wrote in those sections (yes, thank you to those who actually do comment on what was written there. No thanks to those who left unrelated comments.)

And I get a little bit annoyed to find Junjou.info listed as ‘Fansub’ or ‘Scanlation Group’ in sites like Myanimelist. I wonder how I should emphasise that JI is a BLOG and not a GROUP.

I’m so sorry if you happen to read this and think I’m bitchy or anything, but sometimes, I just need to speak out. I’m not well, and my mood is not very good to start with. Junjou.info is a place made out of love, interest, and time to spare. It’s easy to set up a site where there are only download links, but it’s not easy to write blog entries that can entertain your readers. Maybe I really fail in that department.

So, yeah. Since my rambling probably doesn’t concern you, please enjoy the download as per usual.

Junjou Romantica Episode 7 + Sub (SoftSub)

Junjou Romantica 07 - Kawaii Ko ni wa Tabi wo Saseyo
(Spare the Rod and Spoil the Child)*
[DOWNLOAD LQ VIDEO] - [DOWNLOAD HQ VIDEO] - [DOWNLOAD SUBTITLE FILE]

*please comment if downloading, as usual

Literally, the title translates to:
If you love your child, send him away (let him go), or
Send your beloved child on a journey

So, yeah, I’m going to disappear for a while to catch some sleep. And then fix the previously uncooperating subbing program which delayed and ruined all my plans. And then I’m going to sub. Which means I’ll be releasing episode 7 before episode 6. Boo to me~

While I’m not around, feel free to visit the forum. But you’ll have to register to see the whole thing. We currently have more than 300 posts in over 60 topics, so come join the fun~ There are interesting discussions where you can chip in your opinion.

This post will be updated later Until then!
