Oh my goodness, BetsuHana is turning into Taisho-central these days. Sakamoto Miku's Taisho series ended in the May issue, but Takao Shigeru started a new series set in the 1920s in the very next issue (come to think of it, this isn't her first series set in the 20s), and now Miyako Ritsu's got something that looks to be from that era as well ( ( Read more... )

I've had three visits from the UPS man in as many days. Poor UPS man! But today I got my comp copies for Uraboku 1~ Now it can join the other huge bricks of manga that make up my collection of stuff-I've-lettered ( Read more... )

The sun was very sunny today! The ground was moist from all yesterday's rain, I found new rosebuds on my miniature roses (one of the plants looks to be dying, but the others are just thrilled to be alive! i'm hoping the one will make a miraculous comeback!) and we've worked out a stake-and-netting arrangement to keep the robins out of our ( Read more... )
