The 10 New Titles we've added are: Boy Don Quixote;  Lilly, The Frogs, and Her Cool Little Brother;  Yellow Pop;  Datte Suki Nan Damon;  Sora no Mannaka;  Hanasaki Sentimental;  Koi Suru Piano;  Shounen Linda;  Mai Oriru Hana;  and Muteki Joshi kousei / Invincible High School Girl.

2012/05 May Featured Titles

This time we are featuring a few titles from an old & gone group called Bad Eggs.
BadEggs started with their first release on Feb 14, 2005 and closed around Aug 2007. They worked on shoujo stories published around the early 2000's and, you may notice, had similar shoujo art styles. BadEggs liked romances with a little drama, some school life settings, and some humour, too. Their choices had happy endings and had a lot of friendly "kids next dooor" friendships.

Oneshot [BE]

Lily, The Frogs, and Her Cool Little Brother
Seven-year-old Lilly is at the amusement park with her parents, but they ruin the day with their constant bickering. Her parents argue all the time these days and she wishes they'd just get a divorce if they can't get along! When she slays a theatrical serpent, Lilly is suddenly whisked into a magical land where the grateful Frog King offers to grant her that one wish. However, she must reach the wish tree with his key to make her wish come true. There are others who want the key and one more important reason that may change her mind.
This is based on an anime TV special by the same name. - summary by Manga-Garden

2012/03 Happy Anniversary!

March 14th, Manga-Garden celebrates 6 years of fandom. 

We've seen much happen and even "we" have changed. Whether you're new or old, welcome! Drop by, check out some recommendations, and say hello!

You can comment in the posts or in the chatbox and we'll reply. If you really like a title that we host, do leave a comment in that project's post, so we & everyone else will know!
This is a blog, not a forum where you have commenting rules, so "I love xx series", "Thank you!", and "How's the weather?" are all okay.

To celebrate, we have a new update every day this month.
Check our news feed for live status.
This post will also be edited every 7 days with a list all of the updates.

2011/12 December Updates

Sooo here's the monthly announcement. If you're subscribed to our news feed (please do), you already know that we're finishing annual year-end maintenance. Blehh. Real Life + tech probs + holiday celebrations + a whole load of host problems really extended the torture.

What's Year-End Maintenance? We...
-Updated the [SC] Directory
-Checked & Updated Links
-Re-UL files
-Updated Project Info Pages

It's a lot of manual work and content!
Help us by reporting problems in the comments of our updates (like this one!).

There's also a looong list of ~18 projects now under Dropped (see the news feed). We're still hosting them, but you're not gonna see any updates to them unless someone picks 'em up.

But yeah, we'll still remove any titles we don't want to host anymore + have no comments b/c there's no point if we don't want to UL and no one wants to DL. After some debate, we did remove a few w/ comments due to hosting probs, sorry!

So leave a comment in the page of projects you like or one day it may disappear.
Also, the holidays is a perfect time to visit your favourite [sc] people and leave a comment to thank them and say Happy xmas/new year. If you don't, they may disappear!

Look for Ch Updates soon (this week, promise)! There's also a little maintenance left, too.

P.S. - MF deleted Ani-com ch01 [A-M] and we can't find it anymore (*&$!). If you have this zip released by [Akatsuki] or know where, pretty please leave us a comment!
//Edit: We have it now!
