The good old AE site is back and you find me lounging on a pile of bearskins and supervising my slightly disoriented, bruised and half-drowned penguins working double-time on new releases.

But maybe you wonder why the bearskin on top is with a pirate’s hat and an eye-patch?

Then let me tell you the story of a fearless, but undignified one-eyed bear pirate with bad drinking manners who invaded the sacred home of the cute, harmless and always busy AE penguins. This bad, bad bear overtook their site, enslaved some of them and forced the rest to walk the plank, usurped their fans and even stole their manga… But that wasn’t enough for him, oh, no. Drunk with power and non-alcoholic beer, he made one fatal mistake – instead of hoarding his gains and leaving, he stayed and dug deeply and greedily into the dark, mysterious underground mazes of Aerandria, hoping to find even more manga goodness, not heeding the rumors of a dark, all-powerful ancient evil sleeping somewhere in the depths, one that terrifies even its own people, the penguins. And thus, he stumbled upon… ME.

Imagine my heart-felt dejection upon awakening when I crawled out of the depths to find my penguins hanging from the coconut trees, tied up like squishy salami, their cute capital Penguinville brought down to smoking ruins! I thought I had taught them better. I thought I had trained them to withstand even rabid smut fangirls and yet… *sadly shakes head*

The skies darkened with my fury and thunder rolled over the heads of the doomed bear pirates, while I stretched out my giant black wings, together with my endless arsenal of curses, voodoo, instruments of torture, poison princesses and rock-heavy Japanese dictionaries…

But let us skip the gory details, much as I like them. Suffice it to say, my penguins were reminded of my wrath, hence the amazing speed of the new releases, the enemy was defeated and the website back to its normal white cuteness and proper grammar!

Also, because of the damage to the ship and goods that the One-Eyed Bear inflicted on our unsuspecting penguin crew, repair funds are needed so please consider helping us out with our dilemma! Every bit counts! Our cute penguins will do a dance number for you with joy! XD

Before anything else, here are a few shoutouts for everyone:

• Looking for Japanese to English translators for some of our shoujo romance series and also our shounen ai series. Apply~
• Looking for Editors: experienced and even those willing to be trained~ Apply~

You can enjoy a cup of delicately brewed tea and proper literary grammar with me while flipping through these series:

So, my conclusion is… those pounds don’t exist, I tell ya! They don’t! *puts on an invisibility cloak over them* There’s more room in this invisibility cloak if anyone wants to join me in this pounds denial.

Part 2:
RIGHT. So, I bet some of you are wondering where the rest of the week’s releases went. My fault – I went and got myself sick. The conversation between Lacaille and me went something like:
L: You should sleep.
M: NEVAR!
L: No, really… get some rest.
M: Can’t you read what I just typed? NEV- zzz

So I got my rest, and now you get your releases. Funny how it all works out, huh? I guess those things that are connected to other things was actually a valid theme for this update >_>;

And… once again, I’ve got a message from our fearless leader:

“tell the fangirls they can storm the forum [click here] for the new mature stuff and crazy roleplays… wreak havoc… cause pandemonium… we don’t care XD
and congratulate the ones who were able to find me in FB XDDD”

So there you have it. Onwards we go!

1. Shinyaku Ookami ga Kuru Chapter 11 – ^_^ Read it! You know you want to!
2. Purple Eyes Volume 02 – I haven’t picked this up yet… Can anyone tell me if it’s really good?
3. Oneichan to Issho Volume 02 Chapter 08 – hm… Enjoy!
4. Papa to Arukou Volume 01 – 100th Completed Project! Whoot! It’s REALLY cute by the way~ definitely worth reading.
5. Gakkou no Sensei Volume 01 Chapter 02 – And a little bit of cute “cosplay” fluff to celebrate!
6. Venus ni Arazu Volume 01 Chapter 03 – And of course some smut because we all know that’s what you’re really here for…
7. Kamisama Hajimemashita Volume 03 Chapter 13 – And some good-ish news to start off your week! Kamisama has been licensed by Viz Media. All downloads links have been removed, so check out our channel on mIRC (#aerandria) to see this chapter!

Now for some serious stuff. We know we’ve always been fun and crazy here in Aerandria but I’d like to ask for your attention for the moment. Last Saturday some of our staffers here (including me) were devastated by the typhoon Ondoy which caused non-stop heavy rains in the capital regions of the Philippines for a more than a day. This caused massive flooding and devastation of lives, loss of homes and a lot of people still missing. Some flooded areas reached up to 3 stories high in flooded waters (my aunt’s home). Though, and we give huge thanks for it, the staffers escaped the worse of the situation. Some of us experienced long power and phone blackouts, some were forced to spend the night on a school floor because the roads have become impassable, and others had their home flooded and precious belongings damaged. Even with that, we are extremely thankful that we still have our homes and our loved ones. We already sent out some basic necessities like dry clothing, clean drinking water, rice, coffee, sugar: things that we so easily take for granted.

So we ask those of you who are capable, or have the means to, please consider helping out the victims of Ondoy. Google even dedicated a whole page for information, and where and how to send help. We at Aerandria will get nothing from this. This is not for us. We are not associated with any organization that provide the help to the victims so we ask you to only send help to the accredited associations (listed in the Google page). DO NOT send us anything. If you can’t send help, please inform those who can. Anything you can do will be appreciated by those who need help.

Thus, all releases for this week will be dedicated to the people who have been affected by the tropical storm Ondoy. We hope, in some way, the manga chapters we release here will give you a ray of hope and look forward to a rebuilding of a more promising future.

1. Sakurahime Kaden chapters 9 and 10 – If these chapters don’t make you smile… I don’t know what will XD
2. Billion Princess chapter 12 – Another one to bring out more smiles~
3. Purple Eyes volume 1 – An entire volume release. This series is not for the faint-hearted.
4. Koizora – Setsunai Koimonogatari Chapter 17 – Wow! She’s been through a lot!
5. Kimi wa Boku no Toriko Nare Chapter 5 – Maybe our favorite mop-sword maid can help with the mess Ondoy left behind~
6. Himitsu no Himegimi Uwasa no Ouji Chapter 5 – Hmm… Interesting…
7. Ningyou Kyuutei Gakudan Chapter 8 – Kaori Yuki Goodness <3
