Guess who’s back? I’m not sure if anyone still visits or remembers us, but we are working on some things, and I’m just posting that message here so I can’t back out of it ><!. Apologies to my staff in advance for what I’m about to say, but I think a small part of me didn’t want to come back when I wasn’t my usual self. If I couldn’t laugh at my own misery, couldn’t find the humor in it, then all was lost. And I guess I was pretty lost for a while.
SwirlyOwl sent messages to me throughout the year, and I sat and read through them the other day, half-laughing, half-crying. Even Lilanar and Avelys peeked in to say hello. My editors, my friends, do you know? You all have the most beautiful hearts ever, and I wish you all only happiness.
For now, to our readers, if there are any left, thank you for the heartwarming messages that were left in our chatbox. You don’t know how much they’ve meant to me when I was going through some really difficult times.
We have one release for you today. Think of it as a small welcome back present, which we hope you’ll enjoy. We’ll have another chapter to you shortly, as well as other Heels’ projects that you’ve come to know and love.
Chapter 04: READ ONLINE
Sending Hearts,
Hats & Stiletto Heels Team
I saw this late, but welcome back!!! So many happy memories reading scans you all put out. I love all your selections — let us know if there’s anything we can do to support you. So happy to see you all posting — whether it’s on a blog post only and a scan. I get curious on what people are up to, haha.
We are trying to restart this group. Since it’s just me and Hats, so we are taking a chapter at a time (I’m trying to push Hats to get moving a bit). We are not giving up on this group and we will finish what we started. Hopefully you will hear from us sooner than later.
This is awesome to hear!! I was better at Japanese but I stopped keeping my skills up (not a native speaker). I wanted to practice by translating the one shot ‘Ichinichi Nikai’ (https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=156322) by Ikuemi Ryou since the raw is available online from the publisher and I love her work. I don’t wanna drag your guy’s quality down but if it turns out ok and not agonizing to get through after years of brain rust, would love offer to help!
I love Ikuemi Ryou too! Feel free to send the raws of that oneshot to me or direct me to one. And the translations also. I’ll get Hats to take a look at the translations and if Hats thinks it’s good then we would love to have your help. Even I’ll clean and typeset that oneshot. Mags, contact me (kcdx73@gmail.com) to discuss the details and your oneshot translations/files.
I’m pretty late to this party, but OMG you’re back!
I checked in off and on (and to reread Sekine ❤️) and wondered if you were alright. I’m glad you’re doing okay ( as well as we all can be).
Wishing you health and happiness since I’m writing this during the holiday season. Take care!
Welcome back, you darn beautiful creatures! (ಥ﹏ಥ) I feel like it’s been so long since the last post and I have been clicking now and then to see if you are back… with no luck until now! Really, each new release here is a blessing, knowing that you are handing in there somehow somewhere makes it even better. So hope you would be able to find your footing and stand strong. ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ For now I will take a gorgeous Omi-sensei and wish you all the best <3
Ah, I’m really glad to see the site back up! Have always enjoyed your eye for projects and am glad you’re still around. Sorry to hear you’ve been going through a difficult time but wishing you all the best. No need to rush with scanlations but just know you definitely have readers who are happy to hear from you again!
Man, ive just known you recently but you guys are really leaving alot of people behind praying that you will guys continue translating your manga ( especially &). Please continue translating it im begging youuuuuu and tbh sorry if i sounded rude but im left handed out
We will be continuing with & albeit at our own pace. We’re missing a lot of staff, but we’ll do our best until we can find more volunteers
I would really be happy in helping you guys translating and cleaning and publishing those chapters, if you want to contact me to help you guys you can contact me on my gmail: avvxxia@gmail.com
SKREEEE ｷﾀ━ヽ(∀ﾟ )人(ﾟ∀ﾟ)人( ﾟ∀)人(∀ﾟ )人(ﾟ∀ﾟ)人( ﾟ∀)ノ━!! leik omg+etc!! Hyahoooo!! へ(゜∇、°)へ I always held out hope, but after your anniversary came and went I thought for sure it was the end, forever… FOREVER. (Or maybe for a few years.)
‘Lo, I did in fact say “HOLY SHIT!!” aloud when I got the good word via Baka-Updates, though I was somewhat fearfully expecting it to be a FINAL RELEASE, GOODBYE FOREVER.wmv post… And I was going to post a comment promptly but then I was having ~browser issues~ and now I have them resolved (probably) and so here I am, commenting. Anyway, welcome back and good tidings, and thanks for the fresh update!!!!
Also I totally didn’t know you were having hard times; I usually expect when someone disappears from the internet/scanlation it’s some sort of life issues but I also expect it’s just busyness or summat. (Though if I know the person PERSONALLY then I usually expect something terrible has happened, because how could you not contact ME daily?? But I digress)
I’m sorry to hear it and I’m also sorry I didn’t know because I totally would have sent some annoying but well-meaning messages!! But I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better ԅ(,,´﹃`,,*ԅ)
And now that I’ve finally got that out I will surely be able to sleep well, good night ☆ﾐ(o*･ω･)ﾉ
Btw did you ever read Sekine’s Love like I asked you to? *wags finger*
(／ρ＼) Wow, you remembered such a thing!! I actually did happen to do so a few months ago. I liked it a lot! Though the ending felt kind of rushed to me… but it is hard for me to be pleased by most endings, so it might just be me （￣□￣；）
As an aside, I also cringe at the way I used to talk, sometimes even as soon as the day after… ( ´_ゝ`)
Yeah the ending was a bit rushed because the magazine it ran on ended up closing business 🙁
Yessssss!! Welcome baaaack!!! I visit your wonderful website and appreciate the amazing and priceless job you guys doooo!! I had a heart attack sometime ago when the website was not working T___T so I’m super happy you’re all baaaaack!!! Thank you sooooooooooo much!!! \(^________^)/
I get embarrassed by my old posts here. Like, I want to read some of them, but the way I used to talk makes me cringe so hard that I give up halfway through some of them. But I’m glad my embarrassing moments are perserved here, along with the precious works that the staff labored on with so much love. Thanks for your kind words, Mina
welcome back! You were missed!!! Omg y’all dominated the josei scene back in the day. Then when y’all left, I was so sad. nice to see you guys again 🙂
We’re glad to be back
Welcome back Hats! I hope SH will stay with us for years to come. I loved the site, the project and the concept from day one. The name of the group is so sexy, yet so fitty for the projects you are working on.
Best of luck :*
The chapter link isn’t working.
It’s working now. Thanks 🙂
