Haou Airen by Mayu Shinjo

[Teahouse Keeper]

Mmmmm....I don’t know how to begin to describe this beautiful, beautiful manga. This is the best and most beautiful manga I’ve ever read. Brings tears to my eyes. The only other time this has happened was when I was reading a novel whose writing was so beautiful, I actually cried.

Mayu Shinjo's Haou Airen has captured my heart totally, absolutely, completely. I think I’ll never be able to love another manga again. I read a few other works by this same author and not even they come close to this beautiful 9 volume masterpiece that I’ve just finished reading. I’m still so emotionally attached to it that tears start welling up every time I think about it.

My heart pounds with every frame, my mind swirls with all the emotions that every page stirs within me. The story is so gripping, the drawings so wonderful, the sex so hot that it turns me on every time, the characters so real that I can almost touch. Calling it a page-turner is not good enough. It is so much more. It is even funny sometimes, the humour so rare and beautiful like exquisite gems. The ending so satisfying and yet so beautifully sad that I wish it were happier because it starts up my tears all over again.

The frames are drawn the way an anime flows. Fluid, natural. The drawings clean cut and clear. At the end of every love-making scene, I feel as satisfied as if I had just experienced it myself. When Kurumi cries out during hard sex with Hakuron, I feel her pain and ecstasy as well as Hakuron’s love and brutal pleasure. I feel his fingers inside her, his cold presence of mind even as he takes her completely, mercilessly.

Yes, Hakuron is cold, merciless, brutal and even despicable when he chooses to be. Yet, he is also kind, affectionate, loving, courageous and extremely intelligent with a killer smile.

Born to a noble family in China, he has a black dragon-shaped birthmark on his left temple. After his birth, misfortune began visiting his relatives and his father brought him to see a fortune teller. Only a small boy at that time, it was prophesized that a black dragon of death resided within him and that he would eliminate the entire family. Afraid for the family, his father tried to kill him, but his mother managed to prevent it and secretly helped him escape. Before he fled, his mother gave him the family’s Jade Dragon ball which she had stolen and hoped would be a protective talisman. The famed dragon ball that was passed down from generation to generation. It’s said that whoever had it would become a conqueror.

Picked up by a wealthy-looking Hong Kong man who knew the significance of the Dragon ball, Hakuron was educated in the ways of killing but never taught love. At 18, he was already the Chief of Dragon King Society (Ryuousya), the largest Triad organization in Hong Kong headed by the man who had picked him up. He did not know love and did not fear death until he met 17-year-old Kurumi in Japan.

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Hakuron[/glow][/shadow]

His eyes, deep with the depth of his soul, are piercing, magnetic, mesmerizing. Pain, sorrow, regret, surprise, shock, anger, desire, happiness, pleasure, understanding, playfulness, determination—his eyes express them all. He is also an early riser and has tremendous sexual stamina and libido. Able to have sex countless times in 3 days and 3 nights straight. Physically attractive and sexually appealing, he has many women under his spell and makes use of them to get what he wants.

He has bedded daughters of bank managers, actresses, singers, women bosses of big corporations and even women belonging to his enemy. His love-making is addictive and having tasted it, a woman’s body will want him again and again. Used to getting what he wants, his dream is world domination. It is said that whoever catches a glimpse of the Black Dragon of Death birthmark on his temple will die. To prevent it from being seen, the birthmark is usually covered by his hair although this doesn’t completely conceal it.

He loves Kurumi very much and wants her to love him. But because he was never taught how to love, he finds that he is unable to express himself to her except through his love-making. Desperately wanting her by his side and afraid that she will leave, he resorts to
forcibly keeping her with his body and turning her into his slave, not realizing that he is in fact, driving them apart. Being very possessive of Kurumi, he gets jealous, angry and sexually aroused whenever he sees a man touching her.

[Teahouse Keeper]

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Fuuron[/glow][/shadow]

One of the 4 Kings of Heaven in the Dragon King Society, serving Hakuron. The most loyal, Fuuron is also very intelligent, second only to Hakuron. He looks like Hakuron but wears glasses, has longer hair, is handsomer and sexier He is very good with figures, business negotiations and computers.

Having met Hakuron when they were younger, Fuuron has sworn loyalty till death. His loyalty springs from admiration, awe, respect, fascination and perhaps even envy for the bearer of the Jade Dragon ball whom he believes will conquer the world.

Everything he does is for the sake of protecting Hakuron, even to the extent of going against the Society. He treasures everything that Hakuron gives him and always obeys his chief. He idolizes Hakuron.

It is perhaps more fitting to say that Fuuron is in fact, in love with the Dragon ball and its significance rather than with Hakuron. It would seem that since Hakuron is the chosen one, so Fuuron follows. Fuuron’s dream is to conquer the world together with Hakuron and he cannot understand how such a girl as Kurumi can wield such power of love over his chief.

It pains him to see Hakuron bound by something as paper thin as love and he blames Kurumi for it, feeling that his great chief has been diminished by her. Angry at Kurumi for taking Hakuron’s heart away from the Society, Fuuron attempts to get his chief back by breaking them apart.

It’s hard to fathom Fuuron’s way of thinking and his true feelings towards Kurumi. In this sense, he is even more mysterious than Hakuron who is straightforward.

He wants Hakuron to recognize his loyalty and is disappointed that his chief doesn’t seem to understand his efforts. He wants to understand everything about Hakuron to the extent that he hopes their thinking will be synchronized.

On the one hand, he hates Kurumi and wants to eliminate her. On the other hand, he confesses that he wants her because she’s Hakuron’s and that he can better understand his chief through her. Taking advantage of Kurumi’s emotional vulnerability, he slept with her. Does he in fact, have some love for her? He once tried to shoot Kurumi himself but couldn’t do it. Yet it is obvious his loyalty for Hakuron comes first when he shouts the order to have her shot.

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Huo Long[/glow][/shadow]

Another one of the 4 Kings of Heaven in the Dragon King Society, Huo Long (Fire Dragon) is the most vocal and warm-hearted among the 4. He has a feminine appearance and due to an unhappy background, dresses like a girl. He loves Kurumi very much, as much as Hakuron, and wants to give her happiness. But knowing that he is not the one she loves and feeling that he cannot give her happiness because of his background, he tries to help bring her and Hakuron together.

In the past, he used to help his father who was a talented fireworks master. But betrayed by his father’s friend, they ended up in debt and his father turned to drink. Still, Huo Long continued looking up to his father, respecting his talents and hoping that he would recover. But disappointingly, his father sent him to become a prostitute in order to pay off the debts.

With his feminine appearance, he became popular quickly. Although in misery, he would bring back the cash he had earned with his body and continued helping his father with the fireworks. He thought that once the debts were cleared, his father would return to normal. Unfortunately, this was not to be.

One day, unable to tolerate any longer, he killed a regular customer who enjoyed abusing him. He was then approached by the head of the Dragon King Society who needed an explosives expert.

Realizing that he could no longer make fireworks that brought joy to people, he decided to join the triad.

Henceforth, he dressed as a girl because he hated being reminded of his past as a prostitute. Yet he was a man worthy of praise in triad society and was only 14 at that time.

[Teahouse Keeper]

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Di Long[/glow][/shadow]

One of the 4 Kings of Heaven, Di long (Earth Dragon) is sexually attracted to Kurumi although he is not in love with her.

Mischievous when young, he got into fights and never lost. But good at fighting, he fought so much that he was driven out of his school and became a street hooligan who was known for being the best bodyguard.

Fearless, he was not impressed upon hearing about Hakuron and remained so even after meeting the man who seemed older than him.

In Di Long’s opinion, Hakuron didn’t look capable of controlling the triad. He believed that one day, he would punch Hakuron up. But more brawn than brains, Di Long lost when they fought. In response to Hakuron’s observation that he had brawn and skills but not much brains, Di Long asked how he could become stronger. “Stay by my side and you’ll see” was Hakuron’s reply.

Henceforth, Di Long became a member of the Society and a nuisance to Fuuron who hates brainless people. Although Fuuron believes that Di Long cannot be trusted, Hakuron believes otherwise. “As long as I continue to win against Di Long, he’ll obey me. You cannot expect him to be as loyal as you.”

[Teahouse Keeper]

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Shui Long[/glow][/shadow]

Also a King of Heaven, Shui Long (Water Dragon) is a talented medical doctor who is kind, friendly and jovial. But his true feelings and thoughts towards Kurumi and Hakuron are unknown.

The second son of a family that owns a large hospital, Shui Long was often compared to his older brother. Despite being more intelligent and talented, everyone always doted on his brother who was to inherit the hospital. As a result, Shui Long developed a cautious personality. Although more promising and capable, he never showed it in front of his brother.

As a second son, he was very knowledgeable and was more into medical research than anyone else. But always treated as an assistant, he could never rise up. Although it frustrated him that he had to work under less capable people, he never gave up learning medicine nor missed any news pertaining to medical science.

The day came when the head of the Society was injured by a gunshot wound. Shocked at the sight, Shui Long’s brother froze, becoming incapable of handling the situation. Instantly, Shui Long took control, impressing the triad chief who promised to build him a hospital complete with everything, on condition that he must always help a certain man. The chief then introduced Hakuron to Shui Long. Although Shui Long saw that Hakuron was younger than him, he looked the chief straight in the eye and said, “If I can be of service....”

[Teahouse Keeper]

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Yang Yi Shan[/glow][/shadow]

The chief of White Tiger Society (Byakkokai), Yang Yi Shan and Hakuron are long-time enemies who know each other well enough to share a drink together. Yi Shan has a scar down his right eye, given to him by Hakuron in the past. Older than Hakuron, he is sexually attracted to Kurumi and uses her as a way of getting back at Hakuron whom he aims to kill.

Although his organization is smaller than Dragon King Society, Yi Shan wants to defeat Hakuron and take control of the triads. He knows Hakuron very well and was the first to suspect that Hakuron was in love with Kurumi. Unfortunately, while he knows his old enemy very well, Yi Shan still loses to Hakuron.

[Teahouse Keeper]

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Kurumi Akino[/glow][/shadow]

The girl who unwittingly falls into triad hands, Kurumi Akino’s appeal lies in her sweet innocence and sexual purity which make her naturally beautiful, radiant and very sexually desirable.

Although sexually desired by the men in the triads, Kurumi only loves Hakuron whom she rescued while returning home from work one late night. Innocently, she falls in love with him only to discover that he is the chief of the largest triad organization in Hong Kong. Torn between her love for him and her horror that she has fallen in love with the wrong man, Kurumi is devastated. But she soon realizes that she is unable to deny her love for him and is hurt when he resorts to brute force in order to keep her by his side.

With Hakuron, she becomes a woman, experiencing sexual awakening and the heartache that comes with loving him.

Still in the second year of her high-school studies in Japan, Kurumi is 17 and lives in a small house with her mother who is always ill and her twin younger brothers who are still in kindergarten. 4 years ago, her father died and she has been working to support her family. Hardworking, thrifty and optimistic, Kurumi enjoyed a safe and happy day-to-day existence until she met Hakuron.

Because Hakuron looks and behaves much older than he really is, Kurumi assumes that he is at least 25 when actually he is 18, just a year older than her. Her happiness is seeing Hakuron’s smile and having his gentle love. Her dream is to have a warm family of her own.

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Reiran[/glow][/shadow]

Beautiful and feminine, Reiran (Li Lan) is the only daughter of a businessman trader whose illegal business is helped by the Dragon King triad. She is Hakuron’s fiancée, loves him very much and is the only person who truly understands him. But Hakuron doesn’t love her and although she knows this, she cannot bear seeing Hakuron and Kurumi together. Filled with hurt, bitterness, jealousy and anger, she sets out to destroy his happiness rather than see him taken away from her.

Although Hakuron still cares for her, she cannot forgive him. When her plan against Hakuron fails and he destroys her father’s business, she takes the final step in her plan. Knowing Hakuron, she makes the ultimate sacrifice. Knowing Reiran and out of obligation and guilt towards her, Hakuron helps fulfill her desire, tragically altering his and Kurumi’s happiness.

[Teahouse Keeper]

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Caafai[/glow][/shadow]

Caafai (Jia Hui) is the young son of a restaurant owner who is his mother. A kind and gentle boy, he falls in love with Kurumi whom he meets in the streets just as she is secretly fleeing from Hakuron’s apartment. Wrapped in only a blanket, Kurumi faints in his arms and he takes her home, not knowing where she comes from or who she belongs to. Regardless of her identity, he finds he cannot turn her out into the streets and allows her to stay and help out at the restaurant.

Although it is obvious Kurumi is very troubled, Caafai doesn’t demand any explanation from her. He only wishes to protect her, to give her happiness and to stay by her side. Unfortunately, their time together is short-lived when Hakuron turns up.

Forced to watch while Hakuron rapes Kurumi, Caafai is powerless to do anything. Confident that the boy has no chance against him, Hakuron challenges Caafai to take Kurumi away from him, not knowing what this will ultimately bring.

[shadow=yellow,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Thoughts On......[/glow][/shadow]

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Hakuron and Fuuron[/glow][/shadow]

Hakuron treats Fuuron very well, giving him gifts such as an apartment complete with decoration which Fuuron treasures. Fuuron’s life centers on his chief and it seems he has nothing of his own loves. He loves whatever his chief loves. Yet I wonder whether Fuuron would treat Hakuron as well if the tables were turned.

Fuuron may be second to Hakuron in terms of intelligence, but he is still a very intelligent man and no less scheming, cold or ruthless. If he didn’t believe that Hakuron was the chosen one, or if anyone who possessed the ball can be a conqueror, I doubt whether Fuuron would still serve Hakuron. Quite likely, he would take the ball for himself and eliminate Hakuron. What’s more, unlike Hakuron, it seems Fuuron is not the type who cares for friendship. Although he didn’t have the chance to carry it out, he did threaten to put Huo Long back into prostitution if Huo Long disobeyed him. And while he likes Huo Long because they have been friends, he also adds that he won’t hesitate to kill him if Huo Long betrayed Hakuron.

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Hakuron and Kurumi[/glow][/shadow]

Darkness and light. Kurumi is Light itself. She brightens dark hearts and gives hope to those who feel they cannot be redeemed. Her appeal lies in her purity and innocence as much as in the perfection of her body. She attracts the triad men like a rabbit attracts wolves and arouses in them a hunger for her. Hakuron wants to taint her with his darkness and consume her completely. It is a destructive, hungry force of passion which he sometimes holds back for fear of irrevocably destroying her.

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Hakuron[/glow][/shadow]

Much as I sympathize with him, it can be said that he reaped what he sowed. Yet because of his youth and background, he can’t entirely be blamed. He is a very real, complex and ultimately tragic man.

Trained to kill from young, the only thing that eluded his understanding was love. Cold and ruthless, he got whatever he wanted and killed without remorse. He had accepted his destiny as the cursed bearer of the Dragon Ball. But then he met Kurumi.

He would rather give up everything than live without her. Money and power were no longer important. Yet just when he had finally understood love and knew what happiness meant, it was all too late. Even a glimpse of his beautiful Kurumi was impossible. Despite the long way that he had come, his cruel destiny wouldn’t even allow him the little happiness that he had grasped.

With sorrow in his heart, he says, “Perhaps sweet romance and a happy ending are not suitable for me...."

In her closing commentary in the last volume, Mayu Shinjo writes, "I think henceforth, Hakuron will live in everybody’s hearts."

Indeed, he will.

[Teahouse Keeper]

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Haou Airen and Mayu Shinjo[/glow][/shadow]

Online, there’s very little information on Haou Airen with regards to English websites. I believe what I’ve put up here has the most data on the story and characters so far. Because the manga has been licensed, it’s also almost impossible to find scanlations.

According to the small commentary on the inside front cover of the last volume, the third CD Drama has an alternate ending. Hopefully, it’s a happy one On the Mayu Shinjo website www.mayutan.com, it certainly sounds exciting, although unfortunately, I don’t understand Japanese. Even if I bought the CD, it wouldn’t be much use unless there’s something English or Chinese that goes along with it. The great thing would be, of course, to hear the Japanese voice cast!

In volume 5, Mayu Shinjo talks about the seiyuus who voiced the CDs. Surprisingly, Hakuron[/color] is voiced by Tomokazu Seki[/b]!!! Mayu Shinjo mentioned that everyone was surprised by her choice because the seiyuu usually voices cute roles. But after hearing him, everyone became convinced that Tomokazu Seki was the right one. For Mayu Shinjo, she had found Hakuron and describes his voice as sexy, deep and low.

Fuuron’s[/b] seiyuu is Susumu Chiba[/b] who voiced Towa for the Kaikan Phrase anime. He is also the voice of Aki Mikage (Aya’s twin brother) in Ceres Celestial Legend.

Huo Long and Kurumi are both voiced by women.

Kurumi is voiced by Kimiko Koyama[/color]. Mayu Shinjo said she likes this seiyuu very much and that the seiyuu’s face, dressing, actions, voice, complexion and hairstyle are all very cute. So cute that Mayu Shinjo hugged her at the end of the voice recording session. Listening to a sample of her voice, her voice is really very unbelievably cute: www.sigma7.co.jp/profile/w_38.html

Huo Long is voiced by Yuu Asakawa[/color]. Mayu Shinjo said the seiyuu has a great voice and a figure that’s as good as a model’s. A real beauty, looks very cool and handsome and so perfect that she can’t think of anyone else better to play the part. The feeling is like meeting a really great guy and she got excited looking at the seiyuu.

Shui Long’s[/color] seiyuu is Nobuo Tobita[/color] who voiced Ralph in Kaikan Phrase and Akabane Kurodo in Getbackers.

For Reiran, Di Long and Yang Yi Shan, I don’t have their Japanese names unfortunately. Although Mayu Shinjo mentioned that the seiyuus for Di Long and Reiran also voiced for Kaikan Phrase, I was unable to find them.

Besides Mayu Shinjo's official website, there's also a very good fan site called "Haou Airen caught by the dragon lord". Has pics, summaries, character descriptions, wallpaper etc. But the site covers until volume 6 only and has not been updated. raygungeisha.com/haouairen/index.html

[melanie saechao]

:-[hi, My name is Melanie. I don't understand anything but english, but I do want to know where to get Haou Airen cd and books. Where do I get them? [e-mail]

[Teahouse Keeper]

Ohh...welcome to the teahouse, Melanie How did you find this place?

Mm.....it depends on where you're from. You mean you want to buy these cds and books online? For Haou Airen, there're no English versions for both cds and books. But depending on where you live, you can find Chinese versions of the manga, like those I've posted here I've only translated some pages and didn't do the whole series.

So, are you a fan of Haou Airen? It'd be great to talk to another fan. Hahahaha!!! I love the manga Hope you enjoyed reading the English translated version here. Hahaha.....

[KiWingz]

Hi! My name is Ki Wingz.

I love this little session. It's great that you include their personalities and yes, it's hard to find more about Haou Airen. I first saw Haou Airen on a computer, at my high school, in my Calculus class, while I was junior. I asked my teacher what anime it was from and she didn't know. She asked her daughter and she told me that it's manga. Her daughter and I wrote each and she gave me a website that was called Diana's Heart (no longer exist). They use to do Text translation and at first I was complete confused. I read it over and over again and got the hang of it. I remember reading when Kurumi got raped by Fuuron and how Hakuron raped Kurumi in front of Caafai. However, Diana's Heart didn't finish the end of the volumes and they closed. It was sad. But I continued to find more information and heard that it had been licensed.

I still go to Mayu Shinjo's website and so excited about her new manga. I love Love Celeb, Akuma na Eros and I have Sensual Phrase volumes 1-12. 13 comes out next month. Viz brings out a volume every two months, so immediately I go to mall and buy the volume.

As you can see, ever since I saw the picture of Kurumi and Hakuron, I became an immediate fan of Mayu Shinjo and her manga. I'm glad that Viz licensed and I will be buying that manga as well, even though, I already know what happened in the end. T.T

However, I have Love Celeb chapters 1-9, Haou Airen chapters 1-6, Akuma na Eros chapters 1-14, and her other one-shots saved on my computer. I love her manga so much that I even have Love Celeb in chinese, volumes 1-5! But this is what I noticed. When it comes to sex, I noticed that Aine loses her virginity in the 2nd volume, Miu loses hers in the third volume, Kurumi loses hers in the first volume, but in Love Celeb Kirara loses hers in the fourth volume.

But I think her new manga might disturb me just a little when it comes to sex. It's because the person with blonde hair (Mizuki) that looks like a guy is ACTUALLY A GIRL, and Akira who looks like a girl IS ACTUALLY A BOY. But the band Blaue Rosen sounds cool and they look cool! But like I said, I'm excited! ^.^ Here's a small preview of it:

And this is what disturbed me:

Thank you for letting me reply. ^.^

[Teahouse Keeper]

Ohh...Kiwingz, you're welcome to post anytime Hehehehe.... How did you stumble upon us? Nice post you got there. Hahaha....

Glad that you enjoyed this thread. It was put up in the hope that fans will love it, besides indulging my own love for everything about it. For character profiles, Mayu Shinjo interviews and CD information, I translated from the Chinese manga since that's the version I was reading. Can't read Japanese, unfortunately.

There're altogether 9 volumes...and I guess you read them all (since you know the ending)? Yeah, Haou Airen is a manga as you already know. The title means Tyrant Lover. Guess it pretty much describes Hakuron's way of wanting Kurumi.

Yeah, Shinjo's drawings for this manga is absolutely beautiful. Unique when compared to the others she's done so far (there're still a few titles I haven't read, like Kaikan/Sensual Phrase and Love Celeb).

Haou Airen comes after her pre-Haou Airen mangas which were not as beautiful. But just before Haou Airen, she did Akuma na Eros (1-4) whose characters look a lot like Hakuron and Fuuron. It inspired her to do Haou Airen, which would also explain the similarities between Satan (Akuma na Eros) and Hakuron.

Mm....unfortunately, I haven't heard of Diana's Heart. What's text translation? You mean, just read the text alone, rather than the English dialogue being in the speech bubbles in the manga?

Ahh....Kurumi was not raped by Fuuron, Kiwingz She allowed him to make love to her when Hakuron seemed not to love or want her anymore. While she was emotionally vulnerable, Fuuron seduced her and convinced her that he was the right one for her. So....that's how she ended up in bed with him.

Yeah, the manga is licensed. In a way, I feel it's too bad coz it becomes hard to find it online. For some reason(s), good information about the manga is also hard to find online. Pretty strange actually, since it seems there're lots of fans everywhere.

Yeah!! Mayu Shinjo's website is very super cool ne? She's just fabulous. Even her website is so cool. Seems she's very computer savvy. Haven't been to her site for a while but went there after reading your post. Whoa!!! The look of her site has changed again.

She's got Flash movies of some of her popular manga like Haou Airen!! Whoa!!! Way cool!! I watched Haou Airen and it's simply beautiful with great music to go with it!!!! Absolutely beautiful Too bad it's in Japanese. Hahahaha....

She's got Love Celeb flash movie too *watches the movie* Hmm...her Love Celeb guy looks like Satan (Akuma na Eros).

Whoa...Kaikan/Sensual Phrase has 17 volumes. Ahh...it's nice you can get a new volume every 2 months. Mm...Haou Airen is not out from Viz yet, is it?

You know...I somehow think English versions of manga are not as good as Chinese ones which I feel are more accurate to the Japanese. But if unable to read Chinese, then English will have to do. You have Love Celeb in Chinese?? Can you read it? I can translate for you if required....hehehehe.... *crooked look*

Oh?? You're picking out patterns in virginity losses are you? Hahahaha....but I think Kurumi lost her virginity to Hakuron some time later in book 2 when he raped her when she tried to run away. In the first book when they were in bed a few times....she still had her virginity. He hadn't taken her yet. Just enjoyed her body without taking.

As for virginity loss in the other titles, I don't know coz I haven't read them yet. Hahahaha....

Is her new manga Love Celeb volume 6?

Mm...yeah, I saw the preview link you provided. Looks good. But it doesn't look like the usual Shinjo work....her style is still there for the hair and eyes, but the guy seems not as cool or hot as guys in Haou Airen or Love Celeb. Looking at the second sample link, all the more her drawings are not as good as Love Celeb or Haou Airen. Mmm....wonder why.

So, the guy with broad shoulders and guitar is really a girl? And the girl who looks so innocent and kawaii is actually a boy? Hahahaha....wonder how such a tall big-sized guy with guitar can be hot as a girl. Hahaha....

Mmm... The 3rd link is kinda kawaii and comical with the handsome guy in bed, his bra exposed. Hahahaha!! But Akira looks more like a boy there than before.

Why does it disturb you, Kiwingz? Looks interesting Wonder how the couple is going to get over their....problem. Hahaha.....Tanoshimi finding out.

[KiWingz]

Hi Teahouse Keeper,

How I found this place was last year. I think you did a excellent job on putting the profiles on your site. ^.^ I was trying to find out more information about Haou Airen, until, I checked this out. It's very rare to find a site that has some good info about a certain manga. I would love to create a website for Mayu's fans and tell them what each volume is about. ^.^

Haou Airen isn't out, yet, but I heard rumors that Viz licensed it and it will be called Despotic Lover. It probably won't come out until Kaikan Phrase is done. I do buy Sensual and it's getting good! Geez-> At the end of volume 12, the cliffhanger is where Kiminobu shows up and tells Sakuya that he is Aine's ex-boyfriend. Now, I have to wait next month to get volume 13! ^.^ Oh... and the cover looks awesome for the volume!

I can't read Japanese nor Chinese. I haven't read Haou Airen, but I found a website that has the Spoiler to the ending. You haven't read Love Celeb? Oh! You will laugh! I started laughing at it in the beginning of the first chapter! If you want, I can send you the link and that link also has her one-shots! ^.^They are translated in english! ^.^

Oh.. It looked like Kurumi lost her virginity in volume 1. Hmm... gotta read it again.

Diana's Heart was a site that you could read just Text translation, meaning, they translated what the characters are saying and stuff and type it on Microsoft Word or any program. No pictures, just text.
For example:
akuero.taisa-labs.com/index.htm

It looked like Kurumi was raped by Fuuron. However, why did Hakuron put a gun in Kurumi's mouth?
www.geocities.jp/ucha1/mayu/04.htm
I guess I have to wait and find out when the manga comes out.

Mayu's website looks great! I never such colors! LOL! Her flash movies are so cool as well. ^.^
As for her Love Celeb guy that looks like Akuma... are you talking the guy with glasses with black hair? That's Hanamaki. You should see the part where Gin mispronounce his name. It's funny! You know... there's a reason why it takes forever to get to make-love scene.

There is one more volume to Love Celeb and I have checked out a few websites. It's suppose to come out in two weeks. Oh--> Check out Sho-comi! Aine and Sakuya are on the cover! Oh and Sakuya and Aine appear in Love Celeb volume 7 as well. ^.^ I read it on Mayu's blog. Sakuya appears in Love Celeb volume 2. He's the producer to Kirara because she becomes a singer. Gin gets jealous! I mean jealous and you won't believe what he tells Kirara. However, he apologizes and Kirara wants to know more about him. She takes him to her house and...! You have to read it! It's a must!

Yeah-> her new manga is gender-bender. But I found out why the girl's a guy. I have a sample on my computer and it looks like she got raped. However, I have no idea why the boy is a girl.

I would like to e-mail you and send the links I have saved. I can send the Love Celeb in chinese as well. I'll send you the link. ^.^

Until next time. ^.^

Ki Wingz

[Teahouse Keeper]

Oh? You found the teahouse last year?? But I haven't seen you around ne How come suddenly appear? Hahaha...what search words were you using when you came upon the teahouse? *curious*

Arigatou Glad that the information was helpful to you Yeah, it would be great to create a site with stuff on all the volumes. Her works are really good, fun & sexy. I came upon Haou Airen by chance too, one day while browsing in the rental store. I flipped through the pages & whoa!!!!!!! Sexy!!!!!!! Love making scenes were hot Since then, I've been a fan. HAHAHA!!!

Despotic Lover? Hahahahaha!!! Think Tyrant Lover sounds nicer ne. Despotic Lover sounds nuts. Hahahaha!! Poor misunderstood Hakuron.

Mm....maybe when I can, I'll go rent Sensual/Kaikan manga. There's anime of it, you know? Have you seen it? Unfortunately, I haven't. Don't know when I can.

Ahhh....it's too bad you can't read Japanese or Chinese. The Chinese translated ones are out pretty fast. Faster than English translated. And Chinese ones are more accurate, I feel coz Chinese & Japanese language are rather close, compared to Japanese & English.

Ohh.....so you only read the spoiler to the ending. Ahhhh....that's really too bad. Mm....the ending is sad ne? It's just so touching.

It's very different seeing the pics with the words, rather than reading the text alone. The pictures are simply so beautiful & makes it all the sadder.

Oh? Link to Love Celeb & her one-shots? Sounds good Please send to my email Arigatou

Yeah, was thinking maybe one day, I might drop by the rental store to rent Love Celeb when the entire title is finished.

If you had dropped by last year, it means you've seen the Mayu Shinjo teahouse look at that time ne? The teahouse had wallpaper & pics from Haou Airen.

Yeah, at first, I thought Kurumi lost her virginity in Volume 1 too, but then when Hakuron raped her, there was virgin blood & that was in Volume 2, if I recall correctly. Hahahaha...

Thanks for link to the text. Yeah, I see what you mean. So, you read Akuma na Eros from this site?

Ohh...that scene where Hakuron threatened to shoot Kurumi in the mouth....I can't recall which volume it was, but I think it was becoz Hakuron wanted her to leave him & she wouldn't. She asked him to shoot her if that was what he wanted. And that's why he put his gun in her mouth. But he couldn't do it.

He didn't blame her for sleeping with Fuuron but he did punch Fuuron. Hahahaha....

Later, becoz of the stress of everything, Kurumi lost her memory & it made Hakuron love her even more....for a while, they had happiness but then things just became more complicated....

I think Haou Airen is simply the best love tragedy I've ever read, besides Romeo & Juliet. Hahahaha....

Yeah, the guy with black hair & glasses. So, he's Hanamaki. Hmm...why does it take long to get to lovemaking scene

Oh? There's Love Celeb 7 coming out? Hmm....wonder if that's the last.

How come Sensual characters are in Love Celeb? Crossover?

Oh so Mizuki was raped....hmm.....But he is very handsome ne....too bad he's a girl. Hahahahaha!!

Ah, yes!! Send, send!! Arigatou Mm...so, you have Love Celeb saved in your computer, not the actual manga?

Tanoshimi your email & links

Was also wondering how come you haven't registered at teahouse? Prefer to be guest?

[KiWingz]

I think I typed Haou Airen Synopsis or something like that in the search engine.

Yeah! I think the information is wonderful. ^.^

Yeah... I know there is anime for Sensual Phrase. ^.^ It's over 40 episodes long, but I don't know if they'll bring it to America. If did do, then I seriously got get a job, but I like the manga more. ^.^ I haven't seen the anime, but I have seen some screencaps.

Yeah... the ending is sad for Haou Airen, but in her Drama Cd #3, there is an alternative ending.

I'll be sure to send you the links I have. ^.^ I think tonight, I'm going to read Love Celeb volume 1, through chapter 9.

I read A.N.E. text translation on that site, but's better to read the manga. ^.^

Thanks for explaining on what's going on with Hakuron putting a gun into Kurumi's mouth.
So, Hakuron found out that Fuuron had sex with Kurumi? How did Hakuron know?
I remember seening a small sample of Kurumi asking Hakuron "who is he?" but I had no idea why she asked that, until you explained. ^.^

The reason why it's so long for Kirara to lose her virginity is because Hanamaki explains it in Volume 2, chapter 6. However, in my opinion, Kirara looks better in her Bunny outfit than the Cat outfit. Oh... Hanamaki likes Kirara as well.

Mayu said that Volume 7 is the last volume. I mean, she has been busy these last three months, because of her new manga, and then other story for Cheese! "Sex=Love2" and finishing up Love Celeb.

The reason why Sakuya appears in Love Celeb is because Kirara sings horrible in volume 2, chapter 7, and the producer tells Gin that he has pass on that one. However, Gin thinks she sings good, but not the other workers. So, after Kirara stops singing, Gin asks her a question. He asks her something about "if you could have anyone famous, even dead, who would it be?" Well, Kirara thinks of Sakuya and tells Gin. Gin yells at her and in calls Sakuya.
Not only Sakuya is in Love Celeb, but you know the movie clip to Love Celeb #6? Well if you look closely at the end, Hakuron makes an appearance.

Yeah... Mizuki does look handsome has a boy.

Actually I have Love Celeb, Volume 1, and Volume 2-chapters 6-9, translated in English, saved on my computer. I'm not sure why I haven't applied. I will. ^.^ But later today. I won't be here, but I'll probably get home after 6:00 p.m.

Let me e-mail you right now, that way you check out what sites I have. ^.^

[KiWingz]

I don't know your e-mail address because it's hidden, but e-mail me at [e-mail].

[KiWingz]

Check this out:

[Teahouse Keeper]

Ahhh...you've finally registered, Kiwingz I think I haven't officially welcomed you yet Hehehehe!! Welcome to the Teahouse May you enjoy your....time here.

Hmm...I tried typing what you typed in Google & got all 9 pages of results but none led to the Teahouse. It must've been something else you typed then....I'm curious

Mm...so, you like the Sensual manga more eh. Why? I didn't know the anime was more than 40 episodes long (called Kaiken Phrase). Hahaha...I just checked online & it's 44 episodes. Wow....

Why would you need to get a job if Kaiken Phrase anime came to America?

Yeah, I know there's alternative ending for Haou Airen Drama cd. Any idea what's the ending for that?

Hmm....so how was your reading of Love Celeb?

Since you're registered at Teahouse, you'll be able to see members' email addresses, including mine I forgot that you hadn't registered that time & assumed you could see my email address from my profile. Gomen Send, send!! ([e-mail])

You've got the manga for Akuma na Eros?

Yeah, Hakuron found out about Kurumi & Fuuron. Mm...I can't really remember. I think.....*tries to think* Fuuron told him. Mm....the sample "who is he?" is referring to......?

Well, glad to be of help. Mm....it would be better if I could remember more. I read Haou Airen last year & my memory ain't super...Hahahaha....

Ahh...unfortunately, I'm not sure who's who and what's what without reading Love Celeb manga. I guess they'll be making Love Celeb into anime as well.

What new manga is Mayu working on?? *excited* Hmm....I guess I should read her Blog in her site...lemme see *goes to look* Mm...there's no mention of her new manga in her Blog. And it's her old entry which I've already read last year. You got the information from somewhere else then?

Well, I know she's a busy woman. But she has this wonderful gift of drawing sexy, beautifully wicked-looking men. Hahahaha!!! *crooked smile*

Actually, I was wondering why Mayu put a character from a manga into another manga.

Yeah!!! I saw that #6 movie clip!!! Yeah, Hakuron pops up at the end. Just for a second. Hahahahaha!! Brilliant. But wonder why Mayu put him there, although it's cool

You know, after finishing Haou Airen, I missed Hakuron terribly. I missed the entire story & manga terribly. I felt nothing I read from then on will ever come close to Haou Airen.

So...on your computer, you have Love Celeb Volume 1 & 2 complete?

Mmm....did you see the Haou Airen wallpaper & pics when you visited Teahouse last year?

Mmm....I checked out the Gackoi link you provided Interesting. It's the livejournal of someone in the Philippines. You post there too?

[8unny]

Hi~!~ This is KiWingz,
When I login it says:

"Account Pending Approval"
Currently your account is waiting for approval from a staff member. Once an administrator has approved your account you will get access to this forum.

I know I searched under "Haou Airen (something)" and I just clicked page after page after page. But I didn't use google. I used Yahoo. Hmmm.......

I don't like Sensual Phrase more. I LOVE HER MANGA MORE!!! ^.^ ;D

I just would like to get a job and buy my own manga. I also would like to get Hino Matsuri's "Meru Peri" and it's only 4 volumes long. And heard that Viz licensed her new manga that is currently running in Japan "Vampire Knight".

As for the ending to Haou Airen Drama CD #3, Hakuron doesn't die, in the manga he does.

I love Love Celeb. It full of fun! But there is this character that looks older, and has long, jet black hair that I don't like. He reminds me of Mizuki from Sensual Phrase vol. 7, because the guy drugs Kirara by sending a servant and the servant bringing in two drinks. Kirara takes a sip, and all of sudden black outs.
Well, he takes her clothes off and takes pictures.

In Sensual Phrase vol. 7, Mizuki goes to Sakuya's apartment and we see Aine folding clothes. Mizuki tells a lie to Aine and Aine believes her. Mizuki goes up to Sakuya's apartment and she looks around. Aine asks Mizuki if she wants some coffee, and all of sudden the fax machine is printing out something. Mizuki goes to check it out and Aine turns and gets mad. Mizuki finds out who Yukihiko Aine (Whenever Aine writes lyrics for Lucifer, she has to write her name in a man's name) is, Aine snatches the paper away from Mizuki. Mizuki punches Aine in the stomach and Aine falls unconscious. And Mizuki tells Aine her secret about D=Element.

Then the next scene is Sakuya and Mizuki are talking. However, Sakuya says something about "Shouldn't your whole band be here?" And Mizuki is deep shit. Then Sakuya mentions about the mole on Mizuki and the voice. Well, Sakuya isn't talking to Mizuki, but to Mizuki's twin! At first I thought they were Twin Brothers, because Mizuki looks like a guy. Mizuki's twin brother is Kazuki. Kazuki tells Sakuya a quick lie, and Kazuki tells him that he thinks he should call "him". Kazuki calls Mizuki and we Mizuki is finished taking pictures of naked Aine.

I'll be sure to send you the manga scanlations websites that I have. Lately, I decided to check your website everyday, just in case you reply. ^.^

I LOVE SATAN IN AKUMA NA EROS! I mean, they way he tells Kurumi that he will always protect her and be there for her. ^.^ ;D

Fuuron tells Hakuron that he made love to Kurumi??? O.O

I believe the name of Mayu's new manga is called "Ai wo Utauyori Ore ni Oborero!" However, in english, I think it's called "Rather than Singing Love, We be Drowned!"?? It's something like that.

I don't know why Hakuron pops up in Love Celeb, either. On my computer I have Love Celeb volume 1 complete. As for Volume 2, I only have chapters 6-9. Shoujo Magic is the scanlation group that translate Love Celeb and her other works as well. The only story they didn't translate by Mayu Shinjo is "Summer Days 17" and you can read it on this site:
gportal.hu/portal/moon-starlight/
You will notice that Mai looks like an older version of Miu (And not only that, Look at the girls' names. Mai and Miu <-- Three letter word, Both start with the letter "M", They have the letter "I"). And the guy with black hair, looks like Satan.

No, I don't post on that site Gackoi. I'm thinking about it. But I don't want to.
As for the manga you scanned, I saw that, but not the wallpaper. I do have one wallpaper that a lot of people don't know about. I think you might know. ^.^ It was her very first wallpaper for Haou Airen, and I have saved on my computer. I'll be sure to send it to you. ^.^

Well I'll talk to you later. ^.^

[8UNNY]

HAKURON IS ON LOVE CELEB VOLUME 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
www.sho-comi.com/fc/20060324/shinjo3/index.html

[Teahouse Keeper]

AHhhh....gomen, gomen. I didn't know I had to approve new members' accounts because previously, it was automatic. Ever since the upgrade, things have been nuts. Well, I've approved. Hahahahaha....

Ohh...so you used Yahoo. Hmm....interesting that you found the Teahouse this way Glad you did Looks like you really love Haou Airen very much to search so many pages of results

Mmm.... But if you haven't seen the Kaiken Phrase anime, how to be sure you love her manga more?

Oh....I see. So, you're still in school then? What about a part-time job?

Hmm...Vampire Knight....*checks online* Ohhh...I see. Vampire Knight sounds interesting. About a girl named Yuuki who's rescued by a vampire & then becomes adopted by a school's principal. Only thing is that the school is different. Interesting. But the drawing...is very different from Mayu Shinjo....
www.hazydaze.net/manga/trans/vampire_knight.shtml

*checks online* Ah. MeruPeri is about a prince & his wicked brother & a girl. Hahaha...it's a comedy.

You like Hino Matsuri's manga?

Yeah, I guessed the alternative ending in her Drama CD was like that. Hakuron didn't die. I wonder which story is better then. The manga or the CD. Are the stories very different? Wish I could hear & understand the CD.

Ohh....so Mayu does that in her manga too eh? Drugging girls like that. Hahahaha!!! Why does the guy only take pictures?

Ahhh.....Mizuki, Aine & Sakuya sound complex

Ah yes I've received the emails. Thanks very much Lots of links. I'll check them out properly Where did you get so many? I also saw the Teahouse link there Do you send the links to other people too?

Hahahaha!! Check the Teahouse everyday eh? Hahahaha!! That's really nice, KiWingz I'll try to reply everyday then

Yeah!! *crooked smile* Satan is just gorgeous there. Hehehehe!!! Very sexy. Love the way he's so determined. Kurumi? But the girl was.....Miu.

Satan looks so much like Hakuron that after finishing Haou Airen, Akuma na Eros helped to ease some of that Haou Airen longing in me.

Mmm...yeah, I think so, if I remember correctly. Fuuron said that he had slept with Kurumi, becoz Hakuron was wondering why Kurumi was avoiding him. I really need to confirm that by reading the manga again....hahahaha!!

Whoa....Such a long Japanese title? Mm...Wonder what Mayu's new manga is about.

So, for Volume 2 of Love Celeb, chapters 6 to 9 continues from volume 1 which ends at chapter...?

Ah yes! I checked out the Summer Days 17 link you gave. Thanks Very nice. I read some pages. But I think the couple looks a lot like Kurumi & Hakuron.....even the artwork is identical to Haou Airen. When did Mayu Shinjo do this? It must be close to the making of Haou Airen.

How come you don't want to post in that Gackoi site?

The Haou Airen manga scans at Teahouse are in Chinese Ahh....a pity you didn't see the wallpaper & all the nice Haou Airen pics I put up that time.

Yeah, I got your wallpaper! Thanks So, it was Mayu's very first wallpaper eh. Hmm....it looks familiar. I think I saw it inside the manga just before the pages started. *checks* Ah yes. It's at the beginning of the manga just before it starts but in black & white. No colour. The color one which you sent me....I don't have it in my computer.

The pics I have in my computer are from the scans of her manga & manga covers. Plus, a few pics I got online here & there. You want?

Did you manage to read the scans & translation here? I guess it's difficult to read with the forum space being so small.

Hahahaha!! Thanks also for the link to Love Celeb 7 Hakuron....I thought he was dead? Hahahaha!!

I stared at the pics, not sure if it was really him. Then I compared with the Hakuron scans in my computer. Yeah....it is him *eyes big* But where's his black dragon mark on his temple?? And how come it seems like a replay of the manga, only in a different way with some other guy (not Fuuron) after them? Who is the guy after them anyway??? And why is the whole thing inside Love Celeb 7???

[KiWingz]

Hi Hi~!~ ^.^

Sorry! I keep staring at Love Celeb vol. 7's front cover!
-Squeals- Plus, the manga comes out this Friday, and I hope Mayu puts a clip for it. ^.^

Hey~!~ Don't be sorry. ^.^

I LOVE ALL MAYU SHINJO'S MANGA! SO OBSESSED THAT I WANT TO MAKE A *SPOILER* WEBSITE! THERE ISN'T ONE DECENT WEBSITE FOR HER. T.T

As for Kaikan Phrase, I'm on volume 7.

Oh-> I graduated back in 2004. I'm looking for a job. >.>

I have been to website that you sent me about Vampire Knight. But Hino Matsuri isn't my favorite author. Mayu Shinjo is. ^.^ Always will! ^.^ I like Hino's manga, but not as much as Mayu.
I have chapters 1-15 of Vampire Knight on my burned cd.

It's very hard to find information about Haou Airen. I mean, extremely hard. The best site is that I found was the one that has all Haou Airen's volumes 1-9, but the site is in japanese.

I've noticed about "drugging" girls. However, Aine doesn't drug, but I noticed that in volume 1, this guy punches her in the stomach, in volume 5, this girl slaps her, then in volume 7, Mizuki punches her in the stomach, and oh-> get this> Aine punches Mizuki back in the stomach in volume 8, then in Volume 12, Aine gets beat up by Sakura and her "gang of girls". Aine sure does get attack a lot. >.>; Poor Aine! I feel sorry for Aine. Then I read in that Kaikan Phrase website, that some businessman --->brutally<-- attacks Aine.

As for finding some many links, that what I do on my spare time. And yes, I will be looking forward to reading your replies. ^.^ Please, take your time. ^.^

Yes, I do send links to other Mayu Shinjo's fans out there. ^.^

My bad. Sorry, I meant Miu.

I still have no idea what Mayu's manga is about. No clue, what-so-ever. But I will be doing some more searching.

Volume 1 of Love Celeb are from chapters 1-5. In Volume 2, the people are translating the manga (ShoujoMagic) take their time, on working on it.

I think the girl looks like Miu from Summer Days 17. Just an older version of Miu.

Sorry for not posting the site. I will do so. ^.^ I just need to take my time is all.

I did read the scans and translations on your website and it wasn't hard to read. You want to read something difficult? Try reading Text Translation Manga. Now that's hard, but I have gotten used to read it.

You know what, I after your last post, I went back to the samples for volume 7 of L.C. and I didn't see Hakuron's Dragon on his temple.

Talk to you later. ^.^

[Teahouse Keeper]

Mm... Been stuck doing a few things these 2 days, but free again to reply

Yeah, Love Celeb's front covers are really nice. Haou Airen's covers are nice too Mm? Love Celeb...comes out on Friday? You mean the Japanese one?

Yeah. There isn't a single great website except her own. Hahahaha!!! Strange ne? That there aren't more websites around....

So...are you going to get one of those free websites which will limit the things you can do, or get a paid one? And how big is your...urge....to make this website?

Ohh...graduated from where? What level? I see. So, you're job hunting. Mm...*nods* Well, have fun. Hahaha...what do you have in mind?

Ohh...yeah....Shinjo rules ne? Nobody comes close. And what's in chapters 1-15 of Vampire Knight?

Ahh...yeah, I know it's extremely hard to find information about Haou Airen online. Wish I had scanned more of Haou Airen to translate & put up here....

Ahh...lots of punching here & there in Kaiken/Sensual Phrase then?

Mm...spare time is nice.

Mmm.....still wondering how come you didn't post at Teahouse last year when you first discovered it. And how come you suddenly decided to post now?

So, since you send the links to other Shinjo fans out there...it means, you send out the Teahouse link too? How come we're not having more fans here?

Well, once you discover what Shinjo's new manga is about, I'll be glad to know..... *sideways smile*

Ohh...I see. ShoujoMagic. Hmm.....

Well, that livejournal site.....it doesn't interest you as much as pure Shinjo sites ne?

Ahh....Glad to know you could read the scans & translations fine. Yeah, I suppose text translation is undoubtedly hard mainly because there're no pics to go with the translations. It's hard to read & try to imagine what's going on ne?

Yeah, Hakuron's dragon is not there ne? Usually, it can be seen quite clearly when his hair is like that. Perhaps, Shinjo forgot to draw it?? *eyes big*

[KiWingz]

Hi~!~
I downloaded Love Celeb volume 6 (chinese) today. ^.^ ;D ;D
I saw the end of the volume where we first see Hakuron and his followers, yes, Fuuron and the other men are there. I can't believe he takes Kirara! He's married! Well, I saw the ring that Gin is going to give Kirara as well, but they don't get married in volume 6. This happens before Kirara gets kidnapped.

Yes, I want to see what happens in volume 7, since it is the last volume to Love Celeb. Mayu's covers are beautiful and I so is Haou Airen. ^.^

No, another website to check out that is okay, is: raygungeisha.com/haouairen/
But they don't update anymore.

I'm thinking of getting a free website. I don't have a job. I graduated in 2004 and passed the 12th grade.

Well, in chapters 1-4 of Vampire Knight, I would send it to you that way you can read. They are in english and the rest of the chapters are in... well, some of the chapters are in chinese and the some of them are in japanese. But I heard that Vampire Knight got licensed by Viz. The author is Hino Matsuri and Viz finished one of her series, Meru Peri. It's only 4 volumes long. I'm thinking of getting the manga.

Yes, there is lots of punching in Kaikan Phrase. I finished reading volume 12 last night, now I'm back to volume 1.

As for posting, I wanted to, but I didn't. Sorry, I don't know why.

I hope tomorrow, Mayu Shinjo has a clip for Love Celeb volume 7 and clip to her new manga. Oh, and yes, Love Celeb volume 7 comes out in Japan.

It's hard to imagine what is going on when you read the text translation. ~.~;;

Maybe Mayu did forget to draw Hakuron's dragon.

[Teahouse Keeper]

You downloaded Love Celeb 6 in Chinese?? Hahahaha!!! So, it means you can only see the pictures & not read the words?

Ah?? *can't believe what I'm hearing* Hakuron takes Kirara??? I think this must be some kind of alternate version Haou Airen thing......why did shinjo do that? I gotta read it to find out what's going on.

AHhh...I have been missing Fuuron too....good he's back with the rest of the gang....

Mmm....hearing your description of Love Celeb, it seems I gotta find some way of renting it....you're tempting me....

Yeah, I know about that website. I posted it here as one of the Haou Airen links. It's one of the first websites I found when searching for Haou Airen. Yeah, unfortunately, the site is pretty much dead except for its lovely sections & pics. It is still good though & perhaps the best site besides Shinjo's official one.

Ohh...12th grade. Mm....not furthering your studies then?

Yeah, good thing about free website is that it's free. Hahahaha...but they don't allow you to do much, especially the site design. It's also quite impossible to get a free site that's ad-free. But then, if you get those msn groups thing, there's more flexibility to put up stuff.

Yeah! Please send the Vampire chapters Would love to read them to see what they're about. How did you manage to read the chapters in Chinese? Text translation?

So you haven't read Meru Peri then?

How come you're back to volume 1 of Kaiken Phrase?

Where do you catch Shinjo's clip of Love Celeb 7 & new manga? At her website?

Mm...it's pretty unlikely Mayu Shinjo would forget something as important as her character's trademark sign......wonder what's up.

[KiWingz]

Yeah, I sure did download Love Celeb vol. 6. By the way, have you checked out Mayu's site. She has a clip for Love Celeb vol 7. ^.^

That is something I don't understand. It just so happens that Hakuron and his henchmen are on the same boat as Kirara and Gin. Kirara gets naked and jumps in the pool. Gin shows her a box, and automatically runs when Kirara calls out to him. When he turns. Hakuron has Kirara in his arms (bridal style) and she's naked! However, I noticed something in Love Celeb vol. 6 clip. Remember when I mentioned that Gin is holding a gun to Kirara. Guess what? It's Hakuron's henchmen shooting at Gin since he wanted to get Kirara back.

Yeah, they are back. However, I wonder if Kurumi will be coming out in it as well.

Did you want to download Love Celeb vols. 1-6 in chinese? I can send you the site. ^.^

Yeah, I agree with the site. It's probably the most decent one that I know of for Haou Airen. And then for Kaikan Phrase, it's this site that is nice and pretty good:
www.niko-niko.net/kaikan/

No, I'm not further my studies. I just want to work.

Yeah, that's the only problem. The only site that I know you can free is freewebs.

I'll be sure to send the vampire chapters. ^.^
As for the other chapters to it (guess what, one of the chapters of Vampire Knight, as a picture of Gin), I was looking for more Vampire Knight scanlations and I found a site that had them. I started downloading them that I can see the pictures and the art, but the girl had to take them down. She also had Meru Peri up, but Volume 4 was in Chinese or Japanese... can't remember.

The reason why I'm back to volume 1 of Kaikan Phrase is because Volume 13 hasn't came out on bookshelves. It comes out next month.

You know Mayu's website:
www.mayutan.com
That's where I find her stuff. Oh she has a two new wallpapers for Sex=Love2. One is on that site, and the other is on Cheese!.
Cheese! also revamped their website.
cheese.shogakukan.co.jp/kabegami.html
Sex=Love2 is on the cover again. ^.^

As for Hakuron's temple, I hope she did remember to put it on him. I need to look at Haou Airen site again, and get it translated.
