After many months of unbearable wait, Flat Volume 3 is finally here!  So without further delay, download chapter 11 here!

Mangafly says: Finally, another release!  \o/

…into the new year.

It seems January has been a slow month for many groups. Most of the staffers at DRAT had been pretty occupied with real life (which I hope is a good thing), but one or two had been down with the cold. Thank you to those who sent in images for the background. Keep them coming.

Look forward to more releases in February! Fight-o!

…just by liking a map?

Welcome to DRAT! Bear with us, we’re still fixing some kinks on the site.

We thought it would be nice to wrap up the second volume of SoraMani before 2010 comes. At this rate, we’re covering 2 volumes a year, which is not bad (at least to me) considering the amount of work there is to do for each chapter. This was made possible thanks to my awesometastic editors and staff. They share the work and fill in for each other. They help out, sometimes a few pages at a time. Some staff despise colour pages, some love them; some freak out at the thought of typesetting SoraMani, some love playing with the  fonts – works out perfectly for us.

I’m not sure whether we’ll be able to carry on at the same rate. I certainly hope to get as much as possible done. My personal target – at least 3 volumes this year, (that will be at least some 20 chapters) along with Flat, Aoiro Toshokan, Wakadaishou and Inu wo Kau. Most of our SoraMani editors are getting busier in 2010. Two of them are going on some sort of hiatus for a couple of months, thus we’re left with just Tamashii to edit the majority of the bulk. If you can, please consider helping.

The map background is an homage to Sou-nii. We’re accepting suggestions for the background. If you have a fanart, a nice picture, an astronomical photograph, the sunset, sunrise… just anything that’s nice, decent and relevant (or maybe irrelevant) to share, drop us a line. Knowing me and my OCD, I might just be changing the background every so often.

tl;dr – We need more editors! We’re welcoming background picture submissions. E-mail us!

Here’s Nenashigusa [Sora no Manimani ch14]. Enjoy!
