Today we're releasing one of my favorite, favorite series ever!!! Junjou Romantica volume 2 ch 1a, 1b, and 2a by Shungiku Nakamura. We joined up with Beautiful Soup so that it wouldn't die at Volume 1. Volume 2 of the Junjou Egoist series is the best by far in my opinion, so please look forward to more Nowaki and Hiroki~~ Hop on over to #possible-soup or #kodocha @ irchighway.net to get the releases.

A Happy Birthday release for our resident editor, Sanaaki~ *huggles* The super-editing-proofing granny... XDD Wouldn't know what to do without ya! This time I owe lots of thanks to good friends Horii and Vspirit... and a short ressurection of Vieri to get this release together. Thank you guys~!! Hope you all enjoy this very cute one-shot Bukiyou na Silent by Hinako Takanaga (Dekiru Otoko mangaka). Skip on over to #kodocha @ irchighway.net to get the release and give Sanaaki some birthday kicks!! (Unlimited too!)

Trick or Treat? Find out if Sou finally gets a treat from Katsura or is alas left with a trick again. Drop by #kodocha@irchighway.net and download Rin chapter 5 Part B to find out. Oh and in case you were wondering we ARE gonna translate the Soshite novel. Blame me, Artemis has already done the first chapter... it's just been residing on my compie. Soon... soon... In the meantime, enjoy your Halloween...

Sanaaki, vie and I all love the mean, teasing senpai for some reason. What's the draw? I dunno, perhaps we find it amusing that they're unable to express their feelings for the poor, unassuming target of their interest. Who is a prime example, I'm refering to? Haruto Kousaka from G-Senjou no Neko. We have Chapter 2 of the White Arc out for you today. ^_^ And as a special bonus, we've provided Brahms Violin Sonata No. 3, as mentioned in the chapter, for your listening pleasure. Enjoy~! The music files can be downloaded here, but run to #kodocha @ irchighway.net for the new release.

I wouldn't mind having Sou on a roll actually *cough. So here we are again... hope I don't spaz out here as I did in the channel (food coma...)... Presenting.... unnecessary drum roll... Sou and Katsura dancing together nekkid dripping in yummy choco in Rin volume 2 chapter 5 part A. Right. You didn't really think that would happen did you? Well one can dream I suppose *g*. Whatever the case, the Rin boys are still cute no matter what they do and are back in volume 2 so you know the drill - #kodocha @ irchighway.net.

Also, we are having bandwidth issues again because of losing hosts so please volunteer again if you can help us out. And we can use some more staff too for that matter.

Have a nice day... =P Oh and in case I haven't said it, *huggles to vie and artemis* for making this past mochi year so cool and fun! I've had a blast... Go us!! ^_~ (that didn't come off sounding too pretentious did it? *cough*).

---

And with that, mochi*mochi is now one year old. *tosses confetti* In addition, we've reached two other milestones: 500k hits on our website and our 50th release with today's mass of releases. ^_^ Thank you all so much for your support for the past year. It's been a learning experience, but lots of fun at the same time. *huggles vie and sanaaki*

Now let's get onto the manga, shall we? We have the end of Soshite Koi ga Hajimaru capping it off at chapter 4. Then for the rabid Rin fans, we have Rin Ch 4B and Rin Vol 1 Extra to conclude the first volume. Continuing, we have G-Senjou no Neko [White] Ch1 with lots of yummy Kousaka-senpai eyecandy... *drool* This is the chapter where things really get going. Now how about some one-shots to whet your appetite? Kiss Scandal by Yukine Honami brings yaoi and... politics together. Then we have a very special dj (that Vieri and I found in Japan for a steal!) for our resident GW fanatic Oh! My Lover featuring Heero and Duo. You'll recognize the art as by the one and only Yumeka-sensei. ^_^

For those of you who've finished reading Soshite Koi ga Hajimaru. We're conducting a poll to see if readers would like to find out more about the story. The manga covers barely 1/10 of the story, so it's rather disappointing. It's a lovely and sweet story. ^^ Anyway, since translating a novel takes a lot more time than it takes to translate manga (and that time will cut into my manga translating time), I thought we'd conduct a poll to see if readers are actually interested. So make your voices heard.

Should we translate the Soshite Koi novel?
