2011/11 November Updates

Time flies! And changes come! After our sudden server crash (we still can't retrieve the old domain), we lost regular visitors (and commenters). Big online readers have grown while small sharing and and [SC] communities have been closing down.  We will soon be turning 6 years old and still alive for now.

Any projects that never received visitor interest (no comments in their posts) will be reviewed and those that no longer interest the staff will be removed. It takes a lot of time to maintain records of many titles (we continue tracking oneshots and completed titles for changes). So be sure to leave a comment if you like a title!
Also, some groups have changed their distribution policies and we'll have to look at those. Usually, we continue what's been shared and no longer add any other titles.

The [SC] Directory will also be undergoing it's regular monthly maintenance.

Give love: feedback, questions, requests, hello's in chatbox or update posts (like this one).

We at Manga Garden are very pleased with the progress achieved this summer. It's been a lot of work, but the site is "fully" functional again. If you visit this website, please show us some appreciation and moral support. Without it, we will wither (seriously) as can be seen with the many [sc] groups that have closed.

As a good-bye to summer, here are some new project additions (not re-additions) we are hosting. These were personally selected, so we hope you find a new favourite among them!

• New Oneshots

Kawaii Ore-sama - Seri loves cute boys - the kawaii shy, innocent, and clumsy ones are her type. One day, while pursuing a little lamb boy that she's set her eyes on, she interrupts Shin in a tryst. This naughty other boy has an inflated ego, demanding to be called "Ore-sama" and declaring that she will be his! But when she discovers a blushing side to him, he's the one tamed instead! -summary by Manga-Garden
Oneshot [SMM]


My Wonderful Sweets
Like many girls, Mizuki enjoys things that are cute, pretty, or sweet. When a boy at her school known for trouble asks to date her, she is shocked and much too scared to refuse! Surprisingly, he takes her to the nicest cafés and restaurants even though he doesn't care for any of it. He still is scary, but Mizuki no longer feels as ready to let him go.
