Welcome to Halliwell Hotel

We’ve got a fun new release for everyone today—our first freebie, and our first in-progress webcomic!

Those of you who’ve checked out our Fujoshi’s Guide to Japanese may already be somewhat familiar with the characters, but this is a comic series by our own Yusura Ai-sensei depicting moments in the lives of Shou, a butler in the Halliwell house, and his 16-year-old charge Alexis, only son of a hotel magnate and heir to the Halliwell Hotel empire.

What’re you waiting for? Check out the first page in English or Japanese!

We’ll be updating with at least one page a week (more likely a couple!), available in both languages for free on our reader. Each page is a one-shot, so no worries about getting behind or lost—just enjoy this fun BL gag manga!

We’ve got more updates coming before the end of the month, as well as new releases, so please check out this new piece and give us your thoughts! I’ll be updating here with each new release, so stay tuned!

Booth Visitors

The event hall was filled with over 300 fujoshi and fudanshi—and one of the points differentiating this event from Japanese BL-only events was definitely the percentage of boys in attendance! It’s rare to see any men at a BL event in Japan, but not so in Malaysia! Just as with last year’s Comic Fiesta 2012 event, these types of conventions really pull in the fudanshi! The OW group was keenly aware of just how much everyone was enjoying this event. Read more…
