Chapter 30 (End) ;_;


Here you go everyone, chapter 30! And unfortunately, it is indeed the last chapter. ;_;

Miman Renai Chapter 30 (Mirror)

With this final chapter, I went ahead and re-organized the batch files into volume-like batches. I also created a single zip file containing all volumes for the new (and future) readers:

Volume 01 [MBT]
Volume 02 [MBT]
Volume 03 [MBT-anon]
Volume 04
Volume 05

Volume 01-05 (Complete)

[SPOILER]
Well, what can I say. I really loved this manga and I'm really sad to see it end. I think I really identified with the main character (programmer, afro, just about the same age), so I'm really happy it ended exactly the way I wanted -- with Kurose waiting for Tomoe to grow up before they get married (or even kiss).

To those who wanted a Prez end, my condolences -- she was a worthy adversary. To those who wanted a pedo end, you were probably reading a different manga than I was (though Tomoe was indeed very cute).
[/SPOILER]

Feel free to drop in your opinions on the series in the comments, spoilers and all (so avoid the comments unless you've finished reading everything).

Thank you everyone for enjoying this series along with me, here's hoping the author's next series is equally as charming!

Chapter 29 & Oneshot Doujinshi


Alright, here's chapter 29 as promised! Just gonna go ahead and say this is now my favorite chapter, so I hope everyone will enjoy it as much as I did:

Miman Renai Chapter 29 (Mirror)
Miman Renai Summer Story (Oneshot Non-H Doujinshi) 

Also, after reading the chapter, I need to get  this off my chest (highlight to view):
[SPOILER]
Nooooo!! Why is it ending?!? I was so heartbroken after reading the next-chapter blurb that I seriously didn't even feel like translating. I'm gonna go cry in a corner now.

Next Chapter and... Doujinshi?!

For those wondering when each chapter comes out, a good rule of thumb is to check at the end of the month -- the magazine containing Miman Renai tends to come out between the 21st-24th or so, and raws become available 2-4 days after that (I'm just glad they show up at all). Here's the release blurb for chapter 29:


In addition, I've ordered a doujinshi that the author herself drew and sold at Comiket (don't worry, it's non-H), so I'll be scanning/translating that when it arrives.

First Post!

Alright, I wasn't really planning on starting a release site, but apparently my Miman Renai "anonymous" releases were submitted to mangaupdates. Rather than just have a dinky mediafire account as the main website, I figured I might as well do the right thing and have a proper site (well, as proper as a blog site can be).

So if you've already read the anonymous Miman Renai translations, these are exactly the same thing -- it's just no longer gonna be anonymous I guess.

With that said, here are the links to the translated batch files:

Chapters 01-08 by MorallyBankruptTranslations
Chapters 09-10 by MorallyBankruptTranslations
Chapters 11-12 by MorallyBankruptTranslations
Chapters 13-18
Chapters 19-25 

Chapters 26, 27, and 28 can be individually downloaded at http://www.mediafire.com/miman_translations
