Otoyomegatari

I'm still confused as to whether or not there will be different characters in each arc. I hope not because i prefer amir as the main character. Also, is this released monthly?

We need more clarification on whether or not Scantily Clad said "no" to hosting their chapters.

Oh. Well, thank you for the clarification. I like the author's works, so I'll be sure to pick them up when I get the chance.

@desiant scantily clad IS a scanlation group, and all scanlation groups (or at least I hope all...) discourage the distribution of manga that have been licensed because that would take their scanlating and translating, what would normally be a gray areas in terms of morality, and turning it black. Basically making them outright illegal.

Um, what? I'd like some actual proof that this "Scantily Clad" licensing group exists, because searching turns up jack-crap save for a scanlation group by the same name.

About the 13-17 chapts.

Pold10, Got that fix. It's too bad that there will be no chapter 13-17 on Batoto because Otoyomegatari is licensed and Scantily Clad does not want any licensed titles to be upload.

So, I'm sorry, but i can't upload them, and i wont make a fan translation from the spanish versions.

Any news on 13-17?

ooh thank you so much pold10!!

Cool manga, definitely one of the best. Wish it'd go back on arin though

who cares as long there's free food

I was wondering if miss "praying mantis" would show up there again.. but I guess that was the last of her

Definitely one of my favorites. To think a female author can depict such cute female characters so well...

I wonder how they can tell the difference xD

@liar glad you think that way, but you are not convincing anyone with a name like that LOL

This series is classy

This is so good.Can't wait for chapter 21

amazing art!

Wow, the attention to art detail is amazing, and even more so with cultural detail. Very impressive.

I love this manga - it has some of the very best artwork and the story with all the details of the different culture is very unique and really excellent.

I don't have any translated version of the chapter 21, but i can say this:

chapter 20 was fun, in this manga they think only about marriage xD

Considering the time the story is set in, I would venture to say he was either a noble son or the son of a wealthy merchant. Otherwise, he wouldn't have access to many of the things he has nor could he have even afforded to be gone that long. Since he has at least some medical training, allowing himself to be called a doctor, he must have gone to college, which reinforces the idea. However, it's all speculation. I don't think I've seen anything that says definitively.

do you think smith is some prince or noble?

@Pold10. Sorry, I almost never look at the forum stuff below the title lists once I've made a comment on it myself, so I missed your question.

Kauro Mori's work list is not very long, really. "Emma" ran 10 volumes. It's about a Victorian era maid's romance with a rich merchant's son. "Shirley" was a single volume set in the "Emma-verse" about another maid. She also had a short called "Violet Blossoms". She also did doujinshi work under the pen name Fumio Agata.

As I said in my previous post, Kaoru Mori is one of my favorites. The rich detail put into the backgrounds, the consistently good artwork that doesn't really follow a "style" that others use, and the incredible character development are all used in stories that meld drama, humor, and mostly-innoccent romance.
