It’s the most wonderful time of the year when ghosts and goblins come out and tiny toddlers dressed as superheroes come to neighbors’ doors asking for candy! I wonder how many little Wonder Women I’ll see this year.

Here’s our first oneshot. We’ve been working on this on and off for the past five years. It’s from Hana to Yume, so the image quality is trash. It’s pretty much taken all this time to slowly restore the pages to some degree of image legibility. As implied by “story 1”, there is at least one other Iwaku no Rose story. I have a second story, but I can’t confirm whether only two stories were crafted. We’ll translate the second story at another time. It’s longer and the image quality is just as challenging to improve, which is a shame given the pretty illustrations.

I want to give a big thanks to Jade for her wonderful translation and for doing a great job lettering. It’s was her first time lettering, so I’m especially impressed!

Onto the release!

Also, we are recruiting letterers, redraw artists/cleaners, and translators. See our recruitment post here.
