omgwtf!? How did I never end up reading the extra chapter for Mistress Fortune. *failure* I remember that there was a special (or two) and that there was going to be an extra chapter, but I guess I somehow forgot, because I didn’t notice it was scanlated.

Why didn’t anyone tell me!? RAWR! *pushing the blame off on others*

…*ahem* Well I’ve seen it now, so I’ll do my final post on Mistress Fortune. I really do feel like a little failure for never noticing. *sulks in a corner*

Arina Tanemura! Arina-sensei! Happy birthday~!

Yup, I’m pretty sure Arina Tanemura is my top manga-ka. I’ve never not loved a single multi-chapter series, let alone disliked anything. I can’t say the same for any other manga-ka I’ve specifically followed (CLAMP and Peach-Pit coming to mind). Of course, I love and respect all the manga-ka that make wonderful series…Arina-sensei is just my favorite. And we must fill the air with fangirl love for her birthday~

And thank goodness that I put her birthday in my google calendar almost a year ago. I put it in right after I started Simplicity and saw that I wouldn’t be able to do anything for Arina-sensei’s birthday because…it already happened.

It’s the final chapter already. How sad. At least it was a really good chapter.

And in other Arina Tanemura news. The ShinKuro side story will come out on September 3. I still don’t know what it’s about, but I’ll be blogging that too. I’m sure someone will be nice and scanlate it.

But let’s get on topic with the final chapter of Mistress Fortune. Oh yeah and spoiler warning. Read the chapter released by Endless Youth & Co. before reading my post.

I’m sure a lot of you know this by now, but a VOMIC for Mistress Fortune was announced a little while ago. The site for it is now up and you can watch the first out of four parts (Chapter One was split into two it seems).

The word VOMIC apparently comes from “Voice” + “Comic” so it’s basically just a drama CD where you can follow along with the images from the comic. And in this case…it’s free! You can just watch it online at the site.

Yet another wonderful chapter of Mistress Fortune. I’m posting about it late again, but this time my fangirl excitement is still fresh. Because I just read the translation yesterday. With many thanks to chiibi for that by the way. Wonderful scanlation again~!

And just like last time, I am using Endless Youth & Co.’s raw preview scans.

But moving on…this month there was a side story for Mistress Fortune in Summer Ribon Special. It came out on the eighteenth and aside from the news here, I don’t know anything about it yet. I don’t have anywhere I can buy it right now, so I’ll have to rely on some kind soul buying it and scanning it for the rest of us. And of course, I’m almost completely useless without translations too. But…heh, I’ll blog about it if I get the chance.

As promised, I’m going to be blogging Mistress Fortune for the next 3 (or 2 really) months (even if I started out late).

Mistress Fortune is only going to be three chapters long. After that, Arina Tanemura is taking a break for a while (I’m guessing somewhere between 2-6 months). She’s worked on a manga for 47 straight months, and if you add in the next two chapters of Mistress Fortune, Arina-sensei will have been working for 49 months straight. Yikes.

This news explains why I thought the first chapter kind of felt like a one-shot. This also probably rules out any chances of an anime adaptation, so all our hopes still lie with ShinKuro.

Also, sorry that this post is so late. I totally spaced out on this until I got my issue of Ribon in the mail.
