So, the darling staff here at Aerandria were taking a well-deserved break in IRC from slaving over the new releases (and stealing bishies from each other, but that’s another story), when suddenly, out of the blue, I started handing out chocolates, cookies, bishies, and hugs.  Cautiously, for unfortunately I have a very poor, ill-deserved reputation, Lacaille and Adrift accepted each of my generous offerings, and shared them with the other staff members. I went to every lengths to help them indulge themselves, for they deserve it for all their hard work.

Alas, they should have paid more attention to those warning bells. I’d mixed sedatives into the cookies, added essence of insanity to the chocolates, and coated the bishies with caffeine extract. Those that woke up were utterly insane. We’re all mad here, you see. There was such a party, where Lacaille dressed everyone in drag, Adrift demoted and kicked people, and much blackmail material was gathered.

Eventually, through some great feat, Laca regained consciousness, and started feverishly QCing, with little memory of what had gone on. However, she wasn’t quite fast enough, since I managed to gain access and steal the releases that she had been hoarding, together with access to the site to distribute them to you.

However, if you wish to help prevent Laca from hoarding chapters, to steal bishies from Adrift, and enjoy some (undrugged) parties, then sign up to aid in the scanlation efforts! Be sure to visit the IRC channel as well!

Long, long ago four witches of great power were sealed away in a mysterious kingdom ruled by a mysterious king. To this day, the legends say that the one who finds their graves will have their wish granted – however impossible that wish may be. Daidai, a girl who escaped from the king’s treasury, believes in those legends and starts her journey through the magic kingdom, accompanied by Matsuba, a small boy-robot who loves her. What really is their destination? And what wish shall the graves of the four witches grant the unlikely companions?

Hapi Mari and Midnight Secretary has been licensed by Viz! About damn time some might say! Who wouldn’t want to spread smut to the masses? I think that makes that the 10th AE series that Viz has licensed. (Do we have a stalker on our hands? I kid, I kid!)

What were the other 8 series you might ask?
JiuJiu
Chou yo Hana yo
Sakurahime Kaden
Ningyou Kyuutei Gakudan
Kamisama Hajimemashita
Rasetsu no Hana
Honey Hunt

All right, let’s not get too sentimental reminiscing about projects past. Farewell Hapi Mari and Midnight Secretary! I hope you achieve even more success. (It’s like I’m sending them off to college or something.)

Viz’s official announcement here.

Oh! And don’t forget to think about helping Aerandria and Lacaille out! How will Lacaille ever learn how to speak like an adult again without your help?!

Speaking of bundles of love, we want to welcome the newest and youngest member of the AE family! Our staffer craxx gave birth to this bundle of love last Jan. 31st! Isn’t she cute? Anyone wanting to pinch her cheeks, please fall in line~ Craxx named her Hana, the ultimate proof of being an otaku (second only to Sakura, I guess! XD) Your inner otaku is coming out on your helpless children, craxx! >D Have some mercy!

That goes to show how reading too much Hapi Mari smut will lead you to, craxx… Pregnant, again. XD Which reminds us… when craxx’s first child, Haris, was born, we were also there… and he was a Midnight Secretary baby… does this mean all of craxx children are smut babies?! :O Does this mean if anyone wants to get pregnant, they should just read smut?! :O

And another staffer, claymaven, also gave birth to her first child, a girl named Corrine! The stork sure has been busy in AE recently, huh? *puts something in the AE water to make everyone pregnant*
