Natural Doggy's Diary

[hisaya_him3ko]

I picked up a copy of Kotobuki Tarako's "Natural Doggy's Diary" from Kinokuniya the other day and it is a fun read.  I love her stories so this one is no exception.  The description on the back is this:

専門学校生の花咲椿は、３人兄弟の末っ子。時々長男・冬時の経営する動物病院で受付のバイトをしています。最 近、奥手の椿に気になる人が出現！それは、フレンチブルドッグの飼い主さんで高校生の妙典忠義くん。だけど、彼の気持ちは椿の兄・桜に傾いているみたい。 落ち込む椿を今度は忠義の兄・

Ooh! Sounds awesome! I didn't know she was working on a new series...

Gotta find Chinese raws, that I must B)

It's so cute. It's from the POV of a dog into the lives of his three masters lol -- hence the title. The middle brother, Sakura, is really pretty, but he becomes a bit manlier as the series progresses. I really like this series. It's being published in Hanaoto Comics, and the first book came out in February of this year. Looks like the last chapter (#7) of the book was published March of 2009 so it may be another year before I see the second book T__T. *sigh* I can't buy any more magazines though lol, I'm already buying Be X Boy & Dear+, if I add another one, it'll be overkill lol.

I don't even buy any magazines myself! It'd take too much space... my manga tankobons already take up so much space, sob ;;

Do you think anyone at aarin would have the Japanese volume at least? I wanna see ;; Kotobuki Tarako is ♥

I tried looking around, but haven't seen anything yet so I don't think it's been scanned. I would be surprised if it never gets picked up for scanlating though. There are tons of wild Kotobuki Tarako fans out there in the scanlating world so... lol

I just buy anything I can find by her 'cause I love her so much.

And yeah... my manga collection is so huge, I may need an extra bedroom someday for all of them =_=; I'm so not kidding. I think I may have a net basis of $15k USD in manga right now. Actually, might already be way more than that $20-30k USD. I wouldn't be surprised =_= I was trying to archive all my manga one day, but it was so huge I just gave up. I think I finished writing down all my Chinese books, and maybe all my English books, but my Japanese selection is quite big too. I also have collected various magazines over the years -- Chara & Chara Selection, Gush, Ciel, Be x Boy, Be x Boy Gold, Dear+, etc. So I have a ton of stuff =_=; I just am running out of space to put them.

Wow, it's good to see that sensei's continuing with this story, I must confess that I'm in love with it, even after just reading the first 2 chapters!
Man, that volume looks so good, wish I could get my hands on it! :D
Thanks for the pics!

[hisaya_him3ko]

NP, thanks for pointing it out that the first 2 chaps have been scanlated and that Aarin has it. I'll probably just start translating from Chapter 3 and onwards, unless some people want the first two scripts too.

[hisaya_him3ko]

On second thought... I'd like to try translating the whole thing by myself lol ^_^. Typing the Japanese and translating is good practice after all.

[biomath]

Lol, goodness, I won't even attempt to understand how difficult that must be, good luck with the translations! I'm certainly excited for the ones for ch3 onwards! :3
I'm managed to get the link to the Aarin thread for the manga, in case anyone'll be looking for it. :D
I myself am downloading the chapters raw, lol, I can't stand living in suspense like this!

[tatyscor]

wow! that is so nice that you would take your time to traslate it!---

for all i could see--nothing big is going on between tadayoshi and tsubaki!--but it seems that the history focuses in the hidden things-or brother complex between sakura and tsubaki!!.they're really brothers?--i think not!--ahhh i couldn't wait for see what is going to happen!

thanks in advance

[hisaya_him3ko]

I just posted translation for chapter 3 in my next entry, you can grab it there ^__^

Yeah, the romance is slow, but it's so cute *__*
