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!

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)

Below is a download for the Yumeiro Patissiere cook book, I think it will probably be one of many, but for now it covers a few of the recipes featured in the series plus a few extra.

Ah…. it will probably take me some time to translate and edit this, so it’s just the raws for now. It should be fairly simple to follow since there are very good pictures (and use jisho.org). And, if in doubt, check a similar recipe =o=;

Edit: I just noticed I forgot to rename the files and there’s 2 copies of one page =_=; But other than that the files are in order and OK.

So as promised! Large scans of the colour pages of Yumeiro Patissiere volumes 1 – 4. I have been slowly reading through the YumePati manga, but I’m still not all the way through the first four volumes yet u_u

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:

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…
