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

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

Ah… I totally forgot I had a dentist appointment tonight =o=… So for now here’s Momo 17 and Hime-chan’s Ribbon chapter 4 raws…

Momo 17: http://www.mediafire.com/?jjjizlqgkyl
Hime-chan no Ribon 4: taken down
Heart no Dia 5, Ribon 2010 calendar scans, Nakayoshi  2010 diary scans and Hatsukoi Lunch Box post will have to come tomorrow nao…. Since I’m away again this weekend the HLB release will probably be mid-week next week.

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~)

For those of you that don’t know (it looks like) this was the last chapter of Fly High! too.

Momo Chapter 15: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4DG5QMWE
Heart no Dia Chapter 3: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XWGTTV8N
Hime-chan no Ribon Chapter 2: taken down

And, also (because it was requested) cover images and chapter covers for issues 9 – 11 of Ribon:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VVUV6J7Y

Some YumePati news too (click on images for large pictures):

I want cooking accessories (ToT)

Anyway… I have also been thinking about scans situation and it’s a little tiring at the moment ToT Since the last chapter of Jigoku Shoujo was a little dull, I might put it back slightly and release it slower, so I can work on other series more (also, it’s a little depressing ToT) Plus, I am unreasonably excited about a Nakayoshi series about bentou~ I hope it’s like Kitchen Princess with the recipes at the back (^3^)

Edit: (Because people telling you isn’t the same) Low Quality/Watermarked Fly High! Finale: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WGWVC30B
Obviously spoilers!  But I think some people will be disappointed…

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!

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:
