Semi-update?

Hey guys!

Just wanted to drop by to say hi~  I apologize for the lack of updates, but I've been checking online for chapter 5 to be released frequently, and unfortunately, it's still not out yet.  On the other hand, volume 1 of Dear Brother is going to be released on March 8th in Japan, so for those who are interested, you can probably purchase around that time at your local Japanese bookstore.  As much as I love pretty drawings, I think I'm going to hold off this time on buying, given the dubious story so far.  I wonder if this is also another reason as to why our author hasn't been featured on the monthly cover yet?  I know that each series takes turn to appear on the cover on a rotating basis, but for some reason it seems to me that Hapi Mari was featured more often as compared to other series because of its popularity.

The author never contributes shorts to the extra mini volume that comes with every month's issue (I think it's because she's a big name and was riding high on the HM wave so she didn't have to), but I hope she draws a mini chapter for the extra...because I'm not sure if Dear Brother really suffices.

Meanwhile, to hold off the wait, I just wanted to let you guys know that I update the food blog more often with my friends than on here (about once a week).  So if you're interested in reading about cakes and whatnot, feel free to visit.  In fact I just updated a short while ago here about a coffee shop that serves Red Velvet Cheesecake, Red Velvet Latte, and Pistachio Mocha.  I would also like to thank those who already visit.

I'm considering picking up where I left off for the novels...but that's just a thought right now.  If I do, updates for those will be slow because I don't have much time to translate.  If there are people interested in helping out, I can definitely send you scans of the novel and it'll be a much quicker work.  Anyhow, just a thought.  Leave me a message if you're interested!
