Update!

Hi,

It has been a while but I have finally updated chapter 7! I'm not going to upload chapter 7 or 8 to Manga Fox, but do not worry Loyal Kiss is going to upload them. I'll update chapter 8 either on the 1st or 2nd of January. We will be uploading the rest of Crazy Girl Shin Bia to Manga Fox do not worry. I look forward to starting the new project soon, and happy New Year!

Kira

P.S. I hope you like chapter 7, I remembered a bit more about how to get rid of the gutters and it doesn't look so bad anymore ^_^ Also remember to follow the hosting policy.

Hosting Policies!!!

Well I’m a bit disappointed -_- I just uploaded the other chapters of Crazy Girl Shin Bia on Media Fire and updated the current projects. So I decide to get everything updated for all the fans out there. I went to Manga Traders, then I checked Crazy Girl Shin Bia, and to my surprised, someone had already uploaded chapter 5 and 6.1!!!(First alarm goes off in my brain) So I downloaded both of them and it is our work!! Chapter 5 still had the credit page, but chapter 6.1 DID NOT! (A huge alarm goes off in my brain) So now do you guys start to understand why I’m a bit sad, disappointed and very close to mad? So I typed Crazy Girl Shin Bia on Google and I see that quite a few sites have chapter 5 and 6.1 uploaded! (And then something in me snaps!) You might be asking yourself why am I telling you all this? Well is so you all understand why I felt the need to officially put up a hosting policy for Crazy Girl Shin Bia.

Hosting Policy:

1) We don’t have a waiting period for Manga Fox, but all other places must wait until the link has been provide for that chapter on our page.
2) We’ll update to Manga Fox
3) The chapter can be update any where else, as long as:
          A) None of the original (credit or any other page) has been moved or
              deleted from the file.
          B) You leave a comment, telling me where you have uploaded
              Crazy Girl Shin Bia and how many chapters (this is to know which one are still needed).


This hosting policy is only for Crazy Girl Shin Bia, if Rapunzel chooses to also applied this policy to Boarding House of Hunks, we’ll let you know. Now DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, delete the credit page from the file. You did not translate it or edited to called your work or do as you please with it. I ask that you follow the rules, otherwise we might not be able to continue uploading.

Kira

P.S. As of now we are the only group working on Crazy Girl Shin Bia, so if it gets uploaded as some others group work and it looks like ours, it is ours. So follow the rules.

Looking for more translators

Hi,

Right now we are keeping our group really small, but if you are a Korean translator and would like to help us on one of our future projects, please leave your email and will contact you. Thank you!

Kira

P.S. If you don't want everyone to see your email, just PM Rapunzel or me at one of our accounts on Manga Fox ^_^ Or email me at hmrpalace@yahoo.com

New poll!!!

Well everyone I just set up the new poll, which will decide our future project. Here is one more summary that Rapunzel made for you guys:

Love Like Crazy

Han Se In is an outspoken girl but her friends saw her as a chicken. One day she met Moon Ji Soo on her way home from school and slapped him to teach him a lesson for being ungrateful. To her dismay, that fateful encounter ended with her becoming a contracted slave for the gang leader. She must obey all his arrogant commands. Blackmailed into slavery is a form of punishment she have to bear but at what cost? Not knowing that Song Ha Jin and Moon Ji Soo are related, she befriended Moon Ji Soo’s number one enemy. These two hot-headed males have a history that went back since they were kids. Will knowing Han Se In tear them even further apart? Which guy will she choose?

Thanks for voting and have fun :)

Update about pretty much everything

Hi everyone,

Sorry for not updating or doing much during the last few days. I just updated CGSB chapter 6, but I only put the first part up since I was missing a page, but once I get the rest ready I'll update the other part :) As for our future project, well I might have to wait a few more days before I put up the new poll *~*, but that's only because Rapunzel might add a few more summaries for everyone :) I also wanted to take this time to thank everyone for voting and also for wanting us to continue working. One more thing, lets welcome Meilin to our group!

Kira

P.S. Can people make a really cool heading for our page? It's really bothering me how sad the whole blog is *_* maybe I'll change it a little bit...

BHOH Update #2

Sorry I haven't been updating each day. As you all know, Christmas and New Year is just around the corner and I have been very busy buying presents and getting ready for the festive season! Not to mention, I'm spending some quality time with my boyfriend and family. They have been neglected ever since I decided to translate. Please forgive me for not updating in the next two weeks. ^_^

I'm working on the last chapter of Volume 11 right now and I will get it uploaded before I go off and enjoy myself.

Wishing you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a JOYOUS NEW YEAR!!!! ^_^

New Member!

I like to introduce a new member to our HMR's Palace team. Please welcome Meilin on board as a cleaner/editor. She will be working closely with me starting from Volume 12 of BHOH. We didn't want to recruit anymore but she showed a very genuine interest and is fast. I hope our working relationship will last a very long time. Again, please make her feel welcome. Thanks Meilin for giving up a couple of hours a day to help me out. ^_^

Meilin is the last person that we are recruiting unless there are more Korean translators. If you are Korean and are interested, please contact me. It's very hard to find Korean translators but for the moment, we are very happy with this small group of ours. Thank you to those that showed an interest in editing work.

~Summaries~

Thank you SleepyK for the great summaries :)


Well here they are:

100 days of love (13 Volume) ***1/2

It's been a one whole year since Lia died and went to heaven, and the archangels are concerned about their new angel-in-training. Unlike everyone else in the afterlife, Lia can't forget her life back on Earth, especially her boyfriend Ji-Hwan. Archangel Gabriel is especially distressed, as he sees so much potential in the pure yet strong Lia. Continually failing the angel qualification tests, Lia leads an unusually unhappy afterlife in heaven. That is, until Lia finds out that Ji-Hwan's life will end within 100 days! While she desperately wants to talk to Ji-Hwan again, she definitely does not want him to have such a short life on Earth like she had. After begging and pleading, Lia is allowed to go back on Earth and possess a body of a girl who is in coma after attempting to commit suicide along with Jin as her bodyguard. Time is running out, and Lia must save Ji-Hwan from the grim reaper at every corner while resisting the temptation to let Ji-Hwan know that she is Lia.

A Tackle on My life (14 Volume) *****

Once upon a time, there were 10 beautiful little children who lived in a hell on Earth. Orchis, Plum Blossom, Chrysanthemum, Bamboo, Rose, Sunflower, Tulip, Rose of Sharon, Lily, and Pansy decided to escape one winter night, but they had to leave Rose behind - Rose was a crybaby and would have woken their Master. The nine children so ran, ran far away from their living hell and began to build what life they could piece together...

Mia is a teenage girl who leads a strange double life - she is one of the most talented and daring member of a criminal organization, while keeping up a facade of "Garam" in a local high school in order to maintain a low-profile fallback alias should something go wrong. She had so far been successful; making more money than a normal girls her age can't even dream of while maintaining her composure at the high school to the point that no one even notices that she is there. Mia is then given a new, lucrative assignment that seems a bit unusual. Mia's long-lost twin sister, also named Garam, had been killed in an accident, and Garam's boyfriend, Kang, wants Mia to get to know Mia and Garam's mother, who had left Mia with Mia's irresponsible father when she was a baby. Mia doesn't want anything to do with her mother, who she holds responsible for her nightmarish past, but agrees to spend time with Kang for the lucrative contract. What will Mia do, then, when her past finally catches up with her? The nightmare... and the guilt.

(Note: This is arguably Hwang Mi Ri's darkest work. Yes, darker and better than Love SOS)

Crab Kiss (10 volumes) ***

Although Hye-Bin was smart enough to get into a prestigious private academy, her life has been marred by the fact that her mother used to be a famous porno actress. Having led a difficult life so far, Hye-Bin refuses to just sit there and take it, and no one who knows the secret about her now-legitimate-actress mother dare say anything about it. But Hye-Bin's one true purpose of coming to this academy was to find her childhood friend and love, Ryul, who had given her first kiss when they were little. Having seen Ryul declare on TV shows after becoming a child star that he was still waiting for Hye-Bin, she had been dreaming for this reunion ever since. But something is wrong with Ryul. The warm, friendly kid she remembers had been replaced by a cold, indifferent boy who is seemingly obsessed with the beautiful president of the art club. Worse, there seems to be a more complicated situation underneath as Hye-Bin realizes that she has entangled herself into something much more complex than she could imagine. Everyone wants to use Hye-Bin as their pawn in the game, but she won't have any of it!

The Invincible Girl From Yanbian (12 Volumes) *****

After losing her entire family to a mysterious fire, Soon-Doong refuses to wallow in sadness and decides to move to South Korea from her native Yanbian to find herself a new and better life. Holding nothing but a plane ticket to Korea, a small package of clothes, and a half-burnt letter between her grandfather and a "textile factory owner" in Seoul (who were good friends), she resolves to find a job at the factory and make a decent, honest living. Only, the "textile factory owner" just happens to be the CEO of the biggest clothing brand in the country, and her grandfather wasn't just a good friend with the "textile factory owner" - he had saved the CEO's life and lent him the money to start the business that he has today! And so begins Soon-Doong's life in Korea, as she shatters everyone's bigoted prejudice against ethnic Koreans who came from Yanbian and makes everyone rethink about their own values and lifestyles.

(Note: Funniest Hwang Mi Ri work to date)

Wait, Wolf! (18 Volumes) ***1/2

Hwe-Kyung, a textbook definition of a tomboy, had three great friends since her childhood: Hwan-Sung, who is always gentle and caring; Terry, a womanizer who nevertheless never fails to make her laugh; and Sul, who would be her best friend if he quit getting drunk and passing out in front of her house every single night. With her cool and laid back stepbrother Young-Min in the mix, the five best friends can't live without each other, thick as thieves. That is, until Hwe-Kyung starts to want more than just good friends in her life and starts to look for a boyfriend. Unfortunately, the only guy around her is the arrogant and rich Suh-Rin , and Hwe-Kyung manages to owe him $7000 after a series of unfortunate events. What will happen to Hwe-Kyung, her best friends, and Suh-Rin as they try to sort out all the mess around them?


World, Bring It On! (16 Volumes) ***1/2

Hyo-Yi is leading an incredibly difficult life - her mother abandoned her and her little brother Hyo-Je after their father's death, and she has been working tirelessly to make a living any way she can while keeping her grades up so that she won't lose her scholarship. Her life is filled with cruel ridiculing eyes, struggling against poverty, and expending what little energy she has left on taking care of her mentally challenged brother. Luckily for her, Hyo-Yi is the type to never give up and not take any crap from anyone. Her high school life, however, becomes a mess when she mistakenly punches Min-ha, the school jjang, for making her best (and only) friend cry.

BHOH Update #1

It's overwhelming! According to the current votes from HMR fans, I am continuing my translation and my updates for you all. ^_^ THANK YOU for all your support. Seeing there are so many fans of the author out there, it is an incentive for me to keep going.

Unless there is a change in votes in the next few days, the next BHOH chapter will be released next week. While I'm waiting for the poll to close, I'm going to have a little break to do some christmas shopping!

Peace out,
RAPUNZEL

Crazy Girl Shin Bia chapter 5!

Hi,

Okay so some of you might be wondering why Crazy Girl Shin Bia hasn't been updated.  I am very sorry, but I was hoping to get chapter 5 uploaded by Friday, but the person I was putting my hopes on didn't come through :( So I have been rushing and trying to get the next few chapters done and trying to make them a little bit more HQ, but now I am facing tech problems. :( I wasn't counting on that either, so for everybody out there don't worry I'll try to fix it and have them done at the latest by Wednesday. If I can get it done earlier that's great, if not don't worry I'll get it done okay.

Kira
P.S. I'm very sorry for the wait I now you guys depend on us.

I WAS WRONG!

WOW! I only just got home from my summer job and imagine my surprise when I saw all the anonymous comments! First of all, I just want to thank everyone for visiting our website and also for voting for our next project. :)

Now, down to the serious business of addressing the mangahut issue. It was them that posted my scans and they assumed that Esthetique was behind it, even though, it clearly stated on mangafox that it's not. Before you go attacking me, I only contacted manghut late last night and bear in mind that I have work this morning. I didn't have time to sit there and wait all night for them to fix the issue or reply to me. Like I said, I only just got home. I would have apologized earlier if I didn't have to go to work.

So, I sincerely apologize for my assumption and for defaming Esthetique. Remember, we didn't have a great start to begin with. I am new to this whole business of scanlating. I only started doing this because I know how frustrating it is to wait for updates.

My boyfriend pointed something out to me. He said, since Esthetique has been around longer than we have. Surely, they would have known about Mangahut and contacted them way before I even found out. They should have contacted Mangahut and told them that the scans are not their work. Anyway, I'm not going to open that can of worms so don't go abusing me because I mentioned it.

I never even want to compete with Esthetique on the quality of my scans. I know my scans are not HQ and I never claimed them to be. I translated and uploaded purely for HMR fans. Just as long as they are satisfied with my scans, then that's enough for me. I'm giving up a tremendous amount of my free time so that the fans can enjoy HMR's work. If they so desired HQ pictures, then they should support HMR and buy her manhwas when they become available in their country.

Will I continue with my updates? That's up to HMR fans. I'm going to ask Kira to set up another poll and all you have to do is click "yes" or "no". After all, I'm not going to lose anything if I stop translating. I will gain a lot of my free time back.

Again, I SINCERELY apologize for my public outburst. It should have remained a private affair between all involved.

I'm going to take my sorry ass to shower, have dinner and relax over a romantic movie. After such an eventful night of my own making and eventful day at work, this will be all I'm doing tonight. Hopefully, I won't get abused too much for apologizing this late.

Cheers,
RAPUNZEL

Esthetique

So I recently found out that Esthetique has been uploading my BHOH scans on mangahut and took the credit page out and used it as their own piece of work. I wasn't going to reveal what they wrote to me when I first continue to upload BHOH but since they stooped so low and used my scans without even asking me, I will reveal to everyone. They asked me to stop translating BHOH from Volume 4 because it was their so called "project" but I ignored them and continued on for the fans.

Why are they stooping so low? I really don't understand it but you know what? I don't care now, just as long as there are more fans out there reading HMR's work. I just want everyone to know that Esthetique is doing this.

Crazy Girl Shin Bia - Chapter 4

After chopping and changing the files, I've re-uploaded for Kira and it works! Chapter 4 is now on mangafox for those that want to read online. ^_^

Though I don't know if the other group will like us doing that. They look like they are going to continue to upload Crazy Girl Shin Bia. Maybe I'll get an email from them later. *_*

We are just getting started so if you have any ideas or questions just leave a post and I will try my best to answer. Once again thank you for visiting :)
