(*´゚д)(д゚`*)

Good evening!


Now, if you cast your mind back you will of course remember Kurayami ni Strobe, Nojiko's classic tale of photography, basketball, etc. And you'll also, no doubt, remember Juicebox and Glasses, who took a pretty marginal role in the story but then got to be the stars of their very own pair of oneshots at the end of 2013. And now, a couple years later, they're back for more!! Here's the link first of all, then a fuller sort of explanation follows.

Utsusemi ni Akari - Part 1

So yeah, Nojiko's drawing a few more chapters from the Kurayami well. There's three out so far, of which this is one (we, as ever, grovel abjectly for our slowness). Edit: I accidentally misled you all, sorry - pages 1-6 of this are a flashback which takes place immediately after Chapter 3 of Kurayami, and then the rest of the chapter comes after the two previous Glasses/Juicebox chapters. It's part 3 of the "secret room" story, basically. Whether Nojko is going for a full tankobon-sized story with the focus on Glasses and Juicebox we cannot tell: of the two other new chapters, one has the "Utsusemi ni Akari" title (and in this chapter Utsusemi is described as a "new series") but the other one has a different title and is entirely concentrated on the main Kurayami couple.* But anyway we'll release these as soon as we can and hopefully some clearer picture will emerge in due course.


Anyway if reading another chapter of Nojiko's beautiful yet strenuously chaste guys has you hungry for something a bit more explicit, you'll perhaps be happy to hear that we've also got the next Yoru to Asa no Uta ready. In this chapter the main dudes and the yakuza guy finally get to interact, and there's perhaps a man/man blowjob. For more details, please visit:

Yoru to Asa no Uta - Chapter 4

And that's all for now! Please all have a great time, until we meet again~

*This chapter actually came out in Japan before the one we're releasing here, but we didn't obtain scans of it until after we'd started working on this one. It'll be the next one to come out, and as the two chapters have no connection to each other there's no meaning lost by the order being switched around.

  5. Thanks so much for the releases! Woohoo for more Kurayami ni Strobe! I'm not as curious about the megane-kun couple, but I'm looking forward to reading more about the main couple.

    Also, there was an extra chapter released for Udagawachou de Mattete yo in Japan recently. Will you guys be working on it?

    *tried to publish my comment under Livejournal, but it never seems to work on here?

  16. Thank you so much for something new from Hayakawa-sensei!
    I'm glad there's a continuation of Hase and Sawa's story, their unteraction is always a sight to behold. Poor Sawa, that sly-eyed bastard'll troll him to death XD

    By the way, I came across the raws of the 3rd chapter of "Endou-kun no jikken note", lying there in the Internets since 2013. Are you by any chance planning to translate it anytime soon? 'Cause the pictures are pretty and all, but I'd like to know what are they talking about, too...

    1. Chapter 3 of Endou is coming very soon (really!) We'll freely admit we dropped the ball on this story for quite a while but we absolutely intend to get it finished.

    2. I'm really happy to hear that, 'cause this story is one of my all-time favourites!

      Actually, I've got one more question: does there exist a 4th chapter of the Endou story or has the author abandoned it for her other stories for the time being?

      Delete
    3. There's a few more chapters have been published in Japan (it's still being released, just not as frequently as Nojiko's other stuff). And we'll get to them all as soon as we can!

    4. Well, about Endou kun no jikken note, it has been released to chapter 7 :3 and all I have is chinese raw ( full of symbols that I swear I'll never can understand what they are about T.T ) if anyone who would like to know what happens next in the latest chapter, contact me :3 it's my pleasure to share the love for Hayakawa sensei with everyone ^~^

  17. Thank you for this new chapter! Good work and topnotch quality as always! No one minds a short (or long, lol) wait for a quality translation anyway; better than quick but subpar translations releases.

    Can I voice out my thoughts on the timeline tho? I think only the prologue (pages before the title page) happens between Kurayami's 3rd and 4th chapter, and the rest are exactly after Kurayami's timeline (seeing Arata doesn't mind being alone with Shoutarou in his club room, if they really will be alone XD)

    1. yes indeed, first pages follow the aftermath of Sawa telling them to kiss and the rest is when moving a year they happened in different classes, but the missed chapter mentioned here is a separate chapter that is titled Kurayami no shutter speed and it revolves around Kurayami pair and in timeline set before they started a year and is a thing of its own. Thought of clearing things up a bit :)
