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!

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!

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.

Arisa Chapter 11 Raws: Taken Down!

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~)

So, for whoever asked here’s Chocolate/Chokoreito Chapters 4 & 5 Raw:

Chapter 4: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FY9I29V0
Chapter 5: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=K1KMXKSY

I was really suprised but I don’t think anyone’s actually scanlating this series? Since her other works are so popular I thought someone would be ^^;

I know I said I was going to release Jigoku Shoujo R Chapter 3 this weekend… but in the end I just didn’t have time/patience to clean all the pages. So I will be releasing it next weekend instead. Doki Doki! Tama-tan Raws/Blog post will be next weekend as well.

As for the other umpteen series people have asked me to scan…

Watashi ni XX shinasai Chapter 4: It will probably be released soon anyway guys, so it’s best just to wait for Nagareboshi ^^;

Fly High: There’s quite a few chapters between where the series is right now and how far it’s been scanlated… so it would just be confusing. Plus, since Starry Heaven release quite frequently, I don’t think you’ll have to wait that long.

Yumeiro Pâtissière: Some chapters are already up at Manga Helpers. I might scan 13 and 14 at some point. But I haven’t been reading Ribon since the series started.

As for Ribon Issue 11, because of the postal strikes in the UK I still haven’t received it, so Momo/Heart no Dia/Hime-chan’s Ribbon raws will be delayed.
