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:

The link below has the raws for:
Tooyama Ema’s new series KamiKami Kaeshi chapter 01, Hime-chan no Ribbon chapters 09, 10 & 11, Momo chapters 22, 23 & 24 (so good), Heart no Dia Finale, Moro Orie’s new series Kamika Akumaka chapters 01, 02 & 03 (just because I like it), Arisa chapters 17, 18 & 19, Million Girl Finale, Chocolate (Chiyokoreito) Finale, and colour scans for latest Yumeiro Patissiere chapters.

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!

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:

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.

Edit: Added a password! Check the comments!

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

Nimakka has posted chapter 10 of Watashi ni XX shinasai! up on MangaFox’s forums… (make sure to thank her) I don’t know if she’ll post Million Girl too but if not I’ll post those as well at some point.

This month I’ll also be scanlating the Shugo Chara-chan special (since I did the last one and all…) And it’s 3 crossovers this time: Shugo Chara-chan x Watashi ni XX shinasai!, Shugo Chara-chan x Meruhen-chan and Shugo Chara-chan x Jigoku Shoujo R.

Hopefully I’ll have the Hatsukoi Lunch Box scanlation post up today, if anyone could help me again I would be most grateful c: And I’ll be working on Meruhen-chan this week as well, so both chapters should be released next weekend-ish, and then Jigoku Shoujo R chapter 6 should be released the week after.

Wow… it’s been a busy couple of weeks…. I’m really trying hard to catch up with things…. (be getting high as a kite this weekend debinding Pavane vol 3…) And I’ve finished the translation for Meruhen-chan chapter 4 and am now cleaning/typesetting… I think this manga will just get weirder and weirder OTL

The password for the chapters is in the comments. I’ll say it again as well; do not upload to MangaHelpers.com (Please report anyone you see doing this)

Links for Chocolate/Chiyokoreito Chapter 8 and Million Girl Chapter 6 are at MangaFox Forums, look for Nimakka’s post: http://forums.mangafox.com/showthread.php?t=130308&page=2 Make sure to thank her!

Tomorrow will be a colour scans post of previous Nakayoshi (+ 1 HanaYume) calendar / furoku scans! I can’t fnd 2004 nakayoshi calendar though :_c

I will at some point too get around to Tama-tan Chapter 10 / 11 posts too.

Watashi ni XX shinasai chapter 8 raws are up on the mangafox forums (courtesy of sukidesu)

Ribbon raws tomorrow! (Momo, Heart no Dia, Hime-chan no Ribon) As well as Nakayoshi diary pages and YumePati high res colour pages. Just to note, imangascans is working on Hiyokoi (which is why I’m not releasing raws)

Also, for anyone that wants to help again this month, Hatsukoi Lunch Box post tomorrow as well. I think… it should be finished mon – tues of the week beginning the 14th  (away next weekend so… >_<)

Meruhen-chan will follow that, and then Jigoku Shoujo R chapters 4 and 5 will be released after that. Good news this month! Jigoku Shoujo R chapter 5 story isn’t completely stupid!

Large/High Res scans of all colour pages from Nakayoshi/Ribon issue 12 and 1 will be available at the end of the month. And hi res YumePati covers 1 – 4 will be up soon too.

DO NOT POST ON MANGAHELPERS!!

If you can’t download files I will make a photobucket account. MangaHelpers is a website for scanlators to get raws, so if someone other than the scanlation group (in this case Starry Heaven) uses those raws to scanlate it’s bad for the official scanlation group and looks bad on me too.

If it happens next month I will no longer post up Momo raws.

So tired (lucky I had lots of paperwork to do today so I multi-tasked and scanned a lot this weekend =o= So tired now though…)

Well technically another year of Nakayoshi gone by! They had so many new serials this year for their 55th anniversary. The funny thing is, I’m sure it wasn’t that big a deal for their 50th… I mean there was ’50th’ furoku but it wasn’t as big as this with events and stuff (though I guess they did have naoko takeuchi that year) So I guess there will be a lot less new series next year.

As for this month’s issue… calendar was so disappoint. Usually they have a flip calendar but this year it’s just a big poster… I prefer the old calendars =o= But anyway the artwork is quite nice, though not all of it new. Have uploaded large-ish scans for anyone to use, unfortunately there are folds in it… click on pictures for larger image:

Also more Yumeiro Patissiere news/scans from Ribon (I scanned this month’s cover image too…)

As Kiseki already mentioned in her blog post, there’s going to be a cook book *o* I’ve been trying to get the ISBN to special order it but no luck so far ToT I’d really love to have it xD It looks like it it has the chocolate roll cake recipe from episode 5 in as well ^o^

And apparently, everyone in Japan must have liked the Momo cover from a few issues back as well, since Ribon used the image as a furoku postcard, so here’s the text-less version:

Hopefully Hatsukoi Lunch Box will be released next weekend, and I might post up a few psd files for anyone that wants to try cleaning them up.

As you may/may not have noticed, there is now a link to a shop at the top of the page. I will be selling furoku/merchandise there from now on *o* I’m sorry it will be kind of expensive for Americans (because of exchange rate/shipping) but I will keep posting up merch there from now on (also stuff from HanaYume/LaLa series too~)

Edit: Yeah… really not sure what happened with Million Girl Chapter 3, I’ve re-uploaded it anyway.

Raws for Issue 11 (October) Nakayoshi:

Arisa Chapter 10:

Million Girl Chapter 3:

I might scan the rest of Chocolate at a later date. Ribon raws will be out next week (maybe the week after)

Am working on scanlating Meruhen-chan chapter 1 at the moment, and I think it will be ready for Saturday/Sunday, so please check back then c:

Jigoku Shoujo R chapter 3 should then be out next weekend I think~~

This cover of this month’s Momo is really beautiful (*o*) I had to use it for this post~

So, here’s a super big manga raws post! I know I said I was going to post up Tama-tan 8 raws as well…. but I might wait for Chapter 9 summary~

As always, comment if you need a mirror download!

Hime-chan no Ribon (Hime-chan’s Ribbon) Chapter 1:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/ko0wpa

For those that don’t know, Hime-chan’s Ribbon is a remake of an early 90s manga, so it will be interesting to see how this series turns out.

Also! Scans about the new upcoming shoujo anime – Yumeiro Pâtissière – are below ^o^ Plus Momo furoku scans~ Click on images for larger pics!

For anyone that doesn’t know, both Meruhen-chan and Watashi ni XX Shinasai have a preview up at the Nakayoshi website I will try and post a translation up for the first few pages of Meruhen-chan next week. Hopefully I will have the first chapter up by mid-October c:

Ah, totally forgot to mention that I was working on this…

Basically in Nakayoshi a few issues back, they had a Shugo Chara-chan special, where manga-ka from other series (Jigoku Shoujo, Arisa, Youkai Navi Luna) did short comics featuring the Shugo Chara characters Ran, Miki and Suu.

For anyone who doesn’t know, Shugo Chara-chan is a 4-koma that runs in Nakayoshi each month, featuring mainly the Shugo Chara(s). (It isn’t drawn by Peach Pit though)

Since the crossover element was kinda cool, I scanlated the specials. The other ones are from Jigoku Shoujo and Youkai Navi Luna, which I haven’t got around to editing yet. Oh and there was one that featured the Nakayoshi mascots, but I don’t think anyone will find that interesting tbh. I’ll be posting the rest over the next week.
