While the cross-guards wouldn’t have made even a blip on my radar during the summer, I’ve been noticing them more frequently while driving, all thanks to my 12-year-old-brother, who thinks he’s Mike Shinoda with an Ibanez and keeps demanding in his sing-song voice that I wake him up “when September ends, ” while I channel Rivers Cuomo and howl back, “What’s the deal with your brain? Why are you obviously insane? Singing…oooooooh oh, Ooohhhhh oh, oh Ooohhh oohh,” until my mom who embodies all things opera contained in a 50’s cap-sleeve dress and a bad perm, tells us to “Pipe down, you idiots!”
On my drive to work (and his to be dropped off at school), he is forever pointing them out. There’s LaTeesha (because she’s black), Whysoserious? (because he’s a white man with a crew-cut), and Resident Evil (because he’s pockmarked.)
But our ultimate favorite is the middle-aged man on Pioneer Avenue, who we always spot in aviator sunglasses, shorts and a lime-green vest, embracing the crosswalk like a madman, arms extended outwards in both directions, face-palming everyone. We dubbed him “Reno 911.” *cues in Dave Grohl’s Police and Thieves*
In-between cross-guard-viewing and turkey-basting, the Heels’ staff and I have procrastinated at our jobs/in school to make room for these releases:
3 AM Dangerous Zone Volume 1, Ch.4
Sakamichi no Apollon Volume 1, Ch.1
There are several more coming next Monday, including the promised sixth chapter of Tokyo Alice. Current releases will not be added to our reader until Monday, but please be a little patient. In the meantime, have a great weekend, all!! — Edit: We’re having a few problems with contacting our host for the reader. Hope you don’t mind waiting a few more days while we sort this problem out. 🙁
glad to see you picked up Sakamichi no Apollon . i love kodama yuki’s art, and have been interested in reading more of her works. i have a random flowers magazine and wouldn’t mind scanning a chapter…i have the 2nd and i think my friend might have a few later ones.
Thank you for your hard work!:)
you should definitely put the new chapters on the heels reader!
Just read the first chapter of & and loved it! Can’t wait for more. It’s so nice to read josei and so hard to find good ones. Thanks so much for picking it up.

Thank you for these releases guys!! How long until they’re up on the reader do you think?
I will be back from vacation on Monday, Nov. 28, to update the reader. Sorry for the delay!
LOL! your life is quite exciting!! xD Thanks so much for the releases!
Yaayy for Hatsu’s rants! Oh them cross-guards… I remember one at my nephew’s school, I think he’s an ex-army or something, really tall and huge. And when he stops us, we will immediately say “Talk to the hand!!” Lol. Btw, I could easily imagine your mom. 😀 She must be as funny as you.
Anyways, many thanks for the awesome releases.. and yaaayy again for new projects! I’d read anything you guys scanlate. Stiletto Heels Team is love!
Lilly, you are brave. If I was up against a cross-guard like yours and did that, he’d probably twist my arms and make me cry, “Uncle!” 🙁
MUITO OBRIGADA, TANK YOU. I was expecting some iluminated soul take Sakamichi no Apollon for project!!! I love YOU.
Thanks! I’ve been looking forward to & for ages, and 3 AM Dangerous Zone is one of my favourites.
Thank you SO much for ch.4 of 3 AM Dangerous Zone! This manga is so unique, definitely one of my favorite ongoing reads – I was so excited when this update popped up on my dashboard! Looking forward to reading more in the future :).
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, SH staff!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR &!!! After reading Suppli from the same author, I was dying to get more of her work TT V TT.

Nice job! I’m excited now that I can show people directly why I rave about & 😀 I was eyeballing Sakamichi no Apollon too.. curious to see if it’s something I might enjoy. Great!

Oh gosh! Thanks so much for Sakamichi no Apollon! I became a fan of Kodama Yuki after reading Hagoromo Mishin and have been waiting to see more of her work, so this makes me really happy. I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!
New series! D: Thank you for all the hard work! I definitely need a good dose of Josei!
