Ahhhh… I know I said that I would get another chapter of Meruhen-chan out but I just haven’t had time >_< Who would have thought moving countries was so time consuming lol. However I will start releasing more Meruhen-chan, Hatsukoi Lunch Box and Jigoku Shoujo R when things gets settled. I think Hatsukoi Lunch Box will only run for a couple of volumes (but maybe 5 who knows!?) so I think that will be wrapped up soon. Heart’s Knight will have to wait (Don’t like starting something new when I have such a backlog >_>) but Hatsukoi Lunch Box and Meruhen-chan is my priority. And recently Meruhen-chan has been so good *w*

I do have some raws for you though, this was originally going to be two parts, but in the end I did it all at once~

~~~NOT FOR SCANLATION USE~~~

Yumeiro Patissiere raws, volumes 1 – 3:

No password this time!

Let me address some repeatedly asked questions as well:

- Will you be adding more Clover no Kuni no Alice raws?

Maybe. Probably. But not in any hurry.

- When will you add the next part of the Yumeiro Patissiere cookbook?
I don’t know… at the moment I can’t look/plan that far ahead. But I definitely will finish it.

- I can’t find the password!

Look in the comments THOROUGHLY. The password may have been added on at a later date.

So this is the last ever raw post on cookie.Dough. It’s been a fun year and a bit providing raws for the public, but I think it’s time to step down. I will still be scanlating though! But I think after the series I am working on have finished I won’t pick up anymore (She says….)

I will also be setting up a new blog for manga news (nakayoshi, ribon, probably a few more… really want to try Aria!), summaries, probably scanlated previews, deco-den, cute things and general life in Japan c: Please keep checking this blog for the address!

Since I have hardly any time left, I’m working on scanning in manga since I won’t have a scanner for awhile.  However, I do hope to release the following:

July Updates:

- Raws for issues 6, 7 and 8 of Nakayoshi/Ribbon. These are the last Nakayoshi/Ribon raws I will be posting publicly! Though I will be doing summaries/images after this.

- Yumeiro Patissiere raws volumes 1 – 3

- Meruhen-chan chapter 7 scanlated

I’m moving to Japan in August c: So I’ve had to get all kinds of stuff together and this initial preparation period is crazily busy. I will start releasing again soon, but I just need to get all these medical forms and visa stuff out the way first.

Also, in order to raise money for the trip, I’ve changed the shop a bit – check it out here

Thank you for your understanding ☆ヽ(∇⌒ヽ)(ﾉ⌒∇)ﾉ☆

So…. (for anyone who hasn’t visited before) Below are some zip files each containing 5ish pages of Hatsukoi Lunch Box, since some people were interested, I’ve posted them up for anyone that wants to try have a go at cleaning!

Some things:
☆ All pages have been rotated and cropped, so you don’t need to do that.
☆ Files are all psd, so you must re-save it as psd.
☆ You don’t need to resize them, I’ll do it after I’ve typeset them c:
☆ Please try and get them back to me by the 1st/2nd May
☆ Post which pages you want to claim in the comments, but remember to check them first in case someone has already claimed them!
☆ If you have never posted before, your comment won’t show until it’s been moderated (this is to prevent spam bots)
☆ Once you’re done, upload it to any file sharing site, and re-post in the comments c:

Thank you to anyone that can help!

Also, since Peach Butts announced their starting on scanlating Clover no Kuni no Alice, I won’t be working on it anymore once Heart’s Knight is finished >.<  (though I may do the Anniversary volume depending upon timescale lol)  But (as I promised) I’ll still be releasing all the raws. Next will be Rose Petit Coeurs (Blood’s volume),  Tokeiya (Julius’s volume) and Cheshire Neko to Waltz 2.

However! Hopefully soon I’ll have an exciting new joint project kinda thing to announce c:

Oh yes, and Hatsukoi Lunch Box post up tomorrow I swear!

Edit: Added a password! (Meant to do it anyway but was busy!) Check the comments!

So, this months Nakayoshi/Ribon raws include:

Arisa, Million Girl, Chocolate/Chiyokoreito, Momo, Heart no Dia and Hime-chan no Ribbon, you can download them from this folder:

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=424e3de44f40f16207258ee67c679e4add6f130646ff24c10ac99885da44e881

Because of some super stressful RL stuff (it will give me a stomach ulcer I swear) Heart’s Knight and Meruhen-chan will be delayed, but I will try and finish them ASAP. Hatsukoi Lunch Box should still be up soon, but they deadline this time will be longer.

Even though I have read it through so many times, the transcript for this first part is over 6000 words long, so if you spot any typos please tell me!  It ended up taking a lot longer than I thought as I was away in London for a lot of weekends this month =u=

Some Notes!

- I have tried making a couple of recipes out of this now, and they all work, but I had some failures (so try not to repeat my mistakes)

For the 2-tier Strawberry shortcake:

- Don’t add too much honey (it will make it rubbery and dumpling like)

- Don’t over beat the flour when folding it in – it really only needs to be stirred in a little.

- DO whisk the egg whites and yolks separately. It says optional but I don’t think you can get enough air into it otherwise. The whites need to be like peaks, and should probably be added last.

The second part will cover up to the Custard Pudding, and should be ready in May September sometime.

This month’s Nakayoshi/Ribon raws will be a little bit sporadic and all over the place, as I’m trying to scan some tankouban at the same time.

Also, this month was the last chapter of Doki Doki! Tama-tan; volume 3 (the last volume) will come out at the end of the month. So I’ll probably do a post finishing up volume 2, and then a whole volume 3 post.

Hatsukoi Lunch box Post should be up by the end of the week, and if anyone is interested in cleaning (please ;_;) there will be a two week deadline this time~

Meruhen-chan chapter 7 should be out within the next two weeks, and I’m working on Heart’s Knight this week (in between scanning orz) And next month Meruhen-chan is taking a break in Nakayoshi~

So, to celebrate, some Yumeiro Patissiere colour scans (including high quality volume 5 scans)

Some thoughts below….

1) I guess Rabiko really is a girl (even Sakyou’s mother thought she was a boy xD )

2) I can’t really tell if the president really does like Date, or if he’s just messing with her. It’s a fail!romance either way, considering Date hasn’t actually said anything to him yet :’D

Also I wonder if because the President was hit on the head, maybe he’ll lose his Sight? o_o;

Gah, my computer crashed as I scanned the very last page of Hiyokoi (Really not impressed)

Anyway!
