Girlfriend fans can rejoice. Your wait is finally over. Tonight we bring you the first chapter of the series’ latest volume. Expect to encounter new faces in familiar situations, but also interesting story twists not yet seen in the previous volumes.

To sweeten the experience, we’ll throw in two new chapters of
Hourou Musuko and another gripping chapter of
Seizon - LifE as well. Now if that ain’t a great way to start your week…

Ah… no Shigurui? Well that’s a pity. But oh well, the new chapter of Girlfriend will more then suffice! Thanks Kotonoha!

Horray for two chapters of Hourou Musuko! Shimura Takako’s work is absolutely ace.
Thanks for all your hard work! : )

Oh, cool, can’t wait for the http links of Hourou Musuko to find out what happens next! Thanks for the release! =3

In Hourou Musuko, on page 65, you guys interestingly put “The gays all agree,” in the third bubble, which was funny, but I think you meant “guys.” XD

@ki: No, that’s really what they said. The word they used was “okama,” which is a colloquial term for gay people.

Torrents don’t seem to be working, at least for me…
Huff October 16, 2006 @ 3:07 am
Worked fine for me. Each torrent has a large number of seeds, so it must be working for others too.
Nomad Soul October 16, 2006 @ 3:25 am
Hourou Musuko continues to maintain its greatness… definitely one of my favorites of yours.
Seizon and Girlfriend are nice reads, of course…

Just wanted to say I’ve -really- been enjoying Hourou Musuko… the author is an amazing storyteller. Thanks again for all your hard work!
Elae October 16, 2006 @ 7:45 am
Todays release rocked. I love you guys. Girlfriend is so great, I’ve reread the three volumes released two times, in two weeks.
Windwielder October 16, 2006 @ 7:47 am
Thanks for kind words concerning “Hourou Musuko.” I’m sure boke and the other members on the team will appreciate them, too.
Nomad Soul October 16, 2006 @ 11:10 am
It must have had something to do with Firefox, because they worked when I opened up IE (that’s a first). First time it’s ever happened, but whatever; they downloaded and more importantly Hourou Musuko continues to charm me. It’s one of those ideas that would come off either exploitative or stupid with most people, yet the author handles the story and the characters with such skill and class. Along with Sweet Blue Flowers you’ve really come across quite the find in Shimura. Is she well known amoung manga affecianados in Japan?
Huff October 16, 2006 @ 5:07 pm
boke say “yay”.
boke October 17, 2006 @ 12:48 am
Ahh!! Many thanks!!! Been waiting for this for some time now ^_^
Miaka October 17, 2006 @ 6:17 am
Love Girlfriend.. Thanks loads.. You guys have so many great titles..
dj October 17, 2006 @ 12:41 pm
The server in question is back online. All download links should be working now. ^^
@Huff: Seeing that Shimura has published works in Comic Beam and Manga Erotics F, both of which are highly regarded among Japanese manga connoisseurs, I’d say she is definitely known among them.
Nomad Soul October 17, 2006 @ 12:51 pm
Wow great release, I’ve been waiting for this to come out forever.
Thanks for the great release kotohona staff.

I’m sorry to post this here but I sent this mail to you 2 weeks ago but haven’t received any reply yet T_T I hope you can help me. Please help me, T_T
Hi Kotonoha staff,
I’m akita13416, one reporter of the magazine 4A.M (4 Anime Manga) at this address: http://4am.accvn.net. Our magazine focuses on information & reviews of manga & anime as well.
The great series Deep Love (Ayu no monogatari) that your staff had done is one of the greatest series that I’ve ever read. Actually, I adore the picture that it describes, a realistic situation of Japan nowadays.
As a reporter, I’ve decided to write a review about this story, and am trying to find as much information as possible to finish this. Unfortunately, I don’t know japanese and despite reasearching through many website relating to “Deep Love” and “Ayu no monogatari”, I have no clue for it.
Previously I remembered reading Nomad Soul’s recommendation about Deep Love in the beginning of its topic (in your forum), but at the moment it seems that you had deleted the forum. I also didn’t save your recommendation at that time, so can you give me that precious information? All of your information about Deep Love are valuable for me. It’s impossible to write a review without knowing about the story’s origin as well as its author. (I mean, Yuu Yoshii and Yoshi as well).
I hope that you won’t see this mail as a trouble.
Actually, I’m grateful to all of your help to me.
Yours sincere,
Akita13416.

Great site with great content, gutys. I for one, appreciate all of the hard work you guys do to make sure we get to discover new manga.
Ricco October 31, 2006 @ 3:23 pm
First of all evryone at Kotonoha thank you for all you do.
There seems to be a problem with the hourrou musuko torrent link as my browser is unable to open it. Does anyone else have this problem?
Yeo November 22, 2006 @ 1:28 pm
