Eh? Wasn’t this series called “Seiten Kickoff”? Yes, it was! It got picked up as a regular series in Hana to Yume magazine under the title “Seishun Away”. Granted I wanted chapters faster than once every quarter, but now it’s coming out twice a month! I admit to readers now that we can’t keep up with series in real-time. It’s simply too much work unless we became a “Seishun Away” only group, which we can’t do because we are dedicated to multiple series. We’ll do the best we can, but don’t be surprised if we work from the tankoubons because Hana to Yume print quality is terrible. Anyhow, we’ll do our best to release one chapter per month.

My love for this series grows as the series progresses. I can’t wait to get through the chapters that are already released in Japan. This series is so good! Hayate is so cute and the mystery surrounding Yuuto grows. Seriously, what’s with him? Is his family screwed up? I really want to know!!! He’s so intense!!!

Anyhow… now on to the release!

Next up will be “Hana ni, Kamitsuku” Chapter 2!

Oh! We need redraw help with “Hana ni, Kamitsuku”. If you love this series and can help with some high-level clone stamping and redrawing skills, please contact me via e-mail to volunteer. Even if you can only do a handful of pages, that would help us GREATLY. Also, we lost a really good proofreader/QCer, so we’d like a new one to fill in the gap. If you are interested in proofreading and QCing for Crimson Flower, please e-mail me. For more information please see our recruitment page (LINK).
