Harlequin and Romance manga raws, anyone? (25)

First post of the year. Wish you all the best.
I’ve been busy collecting smutty mangas on this holiday season, so less time to browse the romance manga field. My remaining Harlequin comics summer purchases are still waiting in my account at some ebookstore, waiting for me to screencapture them. But I’m the queen of procrastination… That BAD!

I really need to at last copy them in my hard drive. Well, for the time being, I still manage to buy a few more romance mangas added to my list:

23. Kat Attalla & NATSUME Aiko: Royal Blue
24. HASHIMOTO Takako: Aoki Umi no Koibumi

This time around, because I was so into smut shoujos and joseis these last months, I’ve picked 4 of them to include into the romance mangas. They have Western settings or at least are toying with Western romance criteria, mixed with that exotic Japanese flair.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I wanted feel-good mangas for the holiday season. So part of this selection consists of sweet light stories and the other part of Christmas theme Harlequin comics.
These are only a few of my December acquisitions. Among them, there are the San Rimini series and the Princess Swap duet the publisher has started translating into English but hasn’t yet completed. In case they would forget about these pending series, I at least have the raws to get an idea of what’s going on for other characters.

As usual, if someone is interested in scanlating one or more stories presented in this post or listed in my Harlequin & Romance comic raws collection, you can submit a request for the raws HERE.

The first story of Jessica Hart’s Princess Swap duet is already translated and published. I still wanted the raws for both books while waiting for the publisher to release the second story in English.

Now, let’s take a peek at my acquisitions.

If someone is interested in scanlating one or more stories, you can submit a request for the raws HERE.

I’ve noticed at other places that some people were mourning over Hanamuko no Yakusoku/The Bridegroom’s Bargain which was dropped by the former scanlator.

I haven’t purchased the books and they aren’t in my priority list, but if another scanlator wants to pick up this project again yet can’t for lack of scans, I volunteer to provide them the raws.
You must know that I call raws the original version, meaning in the case of the Harlequin and Romance comic raws that the mangas are in Japanese. So if you don’t have a translator for that language, my raws will be useless to you.

 

[Hqc] Je souhaiterais voir traduit… 2

Ce n’est pas l’artistique qui motive mon souhait suivant car franchement, les illustratrices choisies pour l’adaptation des livres concernés ne m’enthousiasment pas esthétiquement parlant. Mais j’adore ces romans donc je serais curieuse de pouvoir lire ce que cela donne en manga.

Lorsque j’ai véritablement découvert les romans Harlequin bien après ma majorité, je n’étais encore intéressée que par les romances historiques. Mon éditeur préféré jusque-là demeurait J’ai lu avec l’incontournable collection Aventures & Passions (A&P), dont je considérais les parutions plus explicites et palpitantes que les quelques Harlequin qui avaient eu l’heur de passer entre mes mains.

Mais j’avais atteint une certaine lassitude des A&P à ce moment-là, la qualité déclinante des parutions contribuant à mon sentiment d’ennui — depuis cette époque, J’ai lu a su redresser la barre. En quête de nouveauté, je décidai de donner une chance à la collection Les Historiques de Harlequin, un jour où je suis tombée nez à nez avec une couverture fort jolie et plutôt discrète — en ce temps-là, J’ai lu usait et abusait des embarrassantes clinch covers sur fond rouge pétant et en comparaison, la sobriété des couvertures des Historiques Harlequin m’apparut des plus rafraîchissantes.

Quoi qu’il en soit, ce changement dans mes habitudes de lecture me fut bénéfique. Deborah Simmons n’a pas été mon premier auteur Harlequin Les Historiques, mais de tous les écrivains de cette collection, elle fut pendant très longtemps ma préférée et le reste encore. Par son humour et ses scènes sensuelles, elle présente beaucoup de similarités avec le style de Julie Garwood dans ses meilleures romances historiques.

Mais pour en revenir à mon souhait d’aujourd’hui, il s’agit de la tétralogie Trowbridge / Regency Quartet, dont les Japonais ont adapté en manga 3 des 4 livres la composant.

Titre anglais : The Vicar’s Daughter
Titre du roman en français : La Débutante
Artiste : Kakuko Shinozaki
Genre : Historique
