Yep. You read it right. If anyone has the colour scans for chapters in volume 4 of SoraMani (I know they are from the magazines published years ago. Hu hu…) HELP US!

that the stars are lovely… Romantico~~~…

Do you remember this? (from SoraMani volume 1, chapter 7)

Hello everyone! Tamashii writing…

So that you get to know: This chapter was a total riot. We started back in December ’09 and we ended up releasing it on May!
It’s part my fault.

We ran thru a lot of problems, among work, sickness, studies, computer crashes (we were able to recover), cats… Nevertheless, we fought, and completely glad we present you:

Sora no Manimani
Volume 3, Chapter 16
Illuminated Ground

Hope you enjoy it, as much as we enjoyed scanlating it. So, here’s your download link. We’ll be glad to hear from you, so please comment!

By the way, remember, we are actually recruiting! Visit our recruitment page to look at the positions we are recruiting for right now. We need your help!

I got hitted with a large trout by mangafly…

Edit: Corrected link to chapter 16.
Edit2: Changed link again for updates.

…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!
