hibiya’s avatarthank you so much!

Dee’s avatarThanks for the chapters. I really loved them.

Btw, Kissing Gourami apparently refers to “Kissing gouramies”(kissing fish). Interesting, huh?

Pinta’s avatarawesome story~

i like it cuz it’s not like every manga that the one becomes gay after kissing and falls in love with…this time it’s a bit complicated and i like it ^^

nice story!

wai’s avatarthank you, love the author <3
xx

Dee’s avatarBtw, does anyone know how many chapters are out for this manga? I tried looking at Mizushiro-sensei’s homepage but since I can’t read most japanese and used Google translate, I only possibly found some info here:

http://info.setona.bitter.jp/?month=200710

Thanks! :)
Dee

ChibiHime’s avatarThis looks good <3 ^^ Can’t wait to read ^^
Thank you for all your hard work & sharing ^^

vivogram’s avatarthanks for doing the scanlations ^_^ i love mizushiro setona’s works.

i was also wondering if i was the only one who is having problems with chapter three. i downloaded chapter 3 but there is only 903.13 KB worth of content in the zip file.

Cat’s avatarvivogram ~ Chapter 3 is an extra that lasts 4 or 5 pages. Quite short! ^_^ Thanks.

Dee ~ at present, it’s one volume (as listed above, chapter 1-5).

This is my personal view: there’s chapter 6 (”Melancholy Butterfly”) that takes place six months after the events of volume 1. But, there’s no official announcement on whether to turn it into volume 2, let alone whether there would be more chapters to come. As far as I know, Mizushiro herself doesn’t know.

vivogram’s avatarthanks for answering my queries :)

i am crossing my fingers and hopefully the story will continue.

Dee’s avatarCat: Ooh thanks for the info. :)

I wonder if it’s the same couple ‘cos I really love the current guys. =)

Rock’s avatarvivogram & Dee: you’re welcome. :D

Dee, yes, it’s the same couple. :P

Hannah’s avatarThanks so much for scanlating!! I’m actually buying this manga in the original Japanese, but I’m impatient, so I wanted to see what happens. xD
Thanks!!

MightyMaeve’s avatarWoooooooaaah. Lovin’ it. Thanks for your hair-pulling-out work. It’s appreciated! Truly!

remeciel’s avatarLovely! thanks a lot for translating this one. :)

myself’s avatarI love the story and the art - thank you so much. It’s really refreshing to read something different from yaoi genre (and Mizushiro-sensei’s work are always different in a god way).
I’m really happy <3

Thank you!! This is a great read ^_^

are you going to translate the chapter six? I have the raw but I can’t read Japanese…

vivogram’s avatarare you going to translate chapter 6? I have the raw but I can’t read Japanese T_T

Reppu’s avatarThank you very much for translating this! Honestly, I didn’t even know it was Mizushiro’s work, as I had read her older stuff. I wouldn’t have taken a second glance, but someone linking it on Yaoi_Daily, and the art caught my eye. I’m very glad I read it, as it is a very beautiful and complex story. I had to pick up the Japanese version and finish reading it after I saw these scanlations. Chapter 5 will take you a while with those seventy pages, eh? :D But that chapter was really beautiful (though the Japanese tripped me up in a couple of places, but what an interesting Japanese that was). I’m happy you led me to this manga, I’ve really enjoyed it, and good luck with further scanlations!

Minelauva’s avatarThank you for scanlating this manga. I read the first chapter because I love Setona Mizushiro’s works but I didn’t think I would like it since this is yaoi, and explicit what’s more. But the art is beautiful and the storyline is great. Actually, I really like this manga, it’s highly addictive :)
I can’t wait to read the next chapters ! >___<
But I wonder why you list it as a manga and not as a oneshot. It’s only one volume long, isn’t it ?

shinhinm’s avatarOMG I’m so in love with this manga >, therefore, faster release xD) , I can be that person XD

Anyway, thanks a lot for your hard works!

Jennifer’s avatarThank you so much for this manga i really love it

thank you for sharing

mtdynamics’s avatarOOOhh~~ I just found out about this website today!! You have no idea how excited I was as a hugh Setona fan!!! Thank you so much for doing all this hard work, I’m keeping my eyes peeled for chapters 5 & 6~

iluvrose’s avatarThanks for this. I really am loving this story. Definitely original. Looking forward to more of them. :)

Jhoy’s avatarI like this story, it’s interesting and different than the others I’ve been reading lately.

This is the first time I’ve been to this site, so I’m interested to see what other manga they have here. :)

.CLaudia.’s avatarThank you very much for translating this lovely manga. It is one of my favorites, I like the story and the drawing n_n
Mizushiro-sensei has improved a lot!! I think this and After School Nightmare are her best mangas.
Thank you again.

Anita’s avatarThank you very much for scanlating this manga. I love Setona Mizushiro sensei’s work ever since 1999 Shanghai. Her stories always left a little bit tingling and painful emotion in my heart, yet at the same time, those feelings are so sweet. Thank you for letting us know such a great manga (since I do not know any other language besides English). Thank you.

and yeah, chap 05 is being revised. Does that mean it’s going to be released soon?

My school days just seem lighter and happier whenever Presencedear release one new chapter.

sarah’s avatari love after school nightmare and this series. thank you so much of puting the chapters up! XD you rock

Mio’s avatarchapter 3 is missing pages…

brooke’s avatari love this series! when are the other chapters coming out?

harukichi’s avatarhey there ^^
congrats! You did it!

I’ve been following this series and now I’m GLAD it’s finished ^^

ps: also, thx for scanlating gengetsurou kitan ^^

PresenceDear’s avatarHi Harukichi,

Thanks! I’m glad it’s finished, too. Well, almost… the main part, anyway. ^__^

Were you the person who asked about Ghost Moon in free_manga earlier this year? Your name sounds really familiar.

I’m really enjoying Ghost Moon. It’s a major research project, but very interesting. And hilarious. Sometimes, I think I’d be happy to read nothing but Ima and Kunieda/Sakai for the rest of my life. ^__^ I hope you’re liking it so far.

PD

Tina’s avatarThanks so much for this series! <3

Reppu’s avatarI’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, thank you so much for leading me to this manga. I picked it up and finished it after I saw your scanlations, and I’m so happy ch.5 is out. I personally think it’s the best chapter of the manga, and it’s great that others can see how awesome it is too. Thank you for all your hard work on this series; I know that it is very intimidating, but like you, I had to read this one. I rarely “read” Japanese manga straight through, opting to skim through the pages and read important passages to get a general feel before deciding whether it’s worth an in-depth read. But for this one, I couldn’t put the book down. The Butterfly extra is…well, I’m glad I read that too. I always check her website to see if there will be more of this series, and I keep hoping that something else will pop up one day.

Thanks again for your hard work!

joey2u’s avatarThank you so much for picking this up and scanslating this. I really appreciate your hard work.

redrosetmc’s avatarGreat job. This story kept me on pins and needles wondering how it was going to end. Otomo was such an indecisive guy. I’m glad I stayed with you to see the series to the end. Thank you for sharing your hard work releasing this story to the end. I’ve enjoyed this as well as a lot of your other releases. Mizushiro Setona has become one of my favorite mangaka.

Silent’s avatarThank you for all

XDD

Xupz’s avatarWow, at last, chapter 5! Thanks so much for translating this whole manga, I’m so fond of the end.

keyji’s avataryey!!!!!

sankyuu so much for sharing…

really appreciate it…

Mangamadness’s avatarCongratulations on the completion of ‘The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese’. Thank you for your hard work in giving us this great series. ^_^

cake’s avatarThank you! :D
I like Mizushiro Setona, she writes interesting stories.

pheecat’s avatarThanks very much for another chapter, and especially for sharing it so freely (making it easy to download.) That’s not always the case (with some groups….some require a gazillion posts to access), so the fact that you work for hours and hours and then are very generous with sharing it with everybody, is very very nice and much appreciated.

:)

skaistuminsh’s avatarsuch a great manga
it lefts this nice feeling after reading it ~ the 5th chapter was just the best
THANKS SO MUCH for spending you time and effort on it ;*

emevol’s avatarMUKYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!Been waiting for chapter 5 since forever!!!!! Me love you!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!! Thank you for your earnest work!!!!

Reddwarfer’s avatarThank you so much. I’m delighted to know you’re tackling the one-shot sequel, too.

It’s such a gorgeous work.

Thank U, loved the ending ^^

coercion88’s avatarOk, I’m going to beg here. I live in Shanghai, Mediafire and Badongo have recently been blocked by the powers that be, and pretty much only Savefile works. Is there any way this last chapter could find its way onto Savefile? It’s just such a good translation of such a good manga… I’m grateful for all the hard work, either way.

Ariadne’s avatarYou’re the best! I can’t wait to read the end. Thanks for scanlating. :)

thankyou’s avatarthank you

nixy’s avatarThank you so much for all your work on this project. I am always very happy to come across manga (yaoi or otherwise) that have real emotional depth, and your translation style is very well suited to bringing out the nuances of such stories. Not only did I enjoy this story immensely (and am looking forward to the sequel), but as Kuneida and Ichiko are favorites of mine, I’m pleased that someone whose skills are obviously up to the task has taken on so much of their work.

traz’s avatarI agree with Pinta and Myself: I enjoyed this manga because it strayed off from the usual yaoi formula.

Instead of instant love, the feelings of the main guy change over time in a natural way. It took time and the guy wasn’t overly conscious of every little thing.

Unlike in the standard run of the mill yaoi manga, where the lead often gets flustered right from the start when he’s with the love interest and starts to act and think like a sappy girl, even if he actually is suppoed to be straight at first. At least in this manga the straight guy feels like one^.

It is nice to see natural development, without it being in your face. It also feels fairly realistic. At least compared to other BL’s I read ^_^
The pacing is good as well. And I very much appreciate that the uke isn’t forced into anything, just for the sake of fast and early smex for the readers. And both leads don’t act stereotypical to their respective top and bottom roles.

So thank you very much for scanlating and translating one of the better yaoi manga’s out there :)

Thankyou for the wonderful completion of this manga… absolutely loved it. Your scanlation quality is just fantastic and I’m loving the layout of this site as well. Hope to see more yummilicious eccentric projects from you guys! ^^

thanks so much for translating, editing and sharing it :D

angua’s avatarThank you very much !

thanks so much for all your hard work! this is super cute.

thankyou kindly ^^

veggieg’s avatarThank you sooooooo much for this manga, I really love it.

Na’s avatarYou forgot to change “Melancholy Butterfly” chapter on the web page (chapter 5, not 6) ^^

thank You *-*

.CLaudia.’s avatarI loved this manga!! *.*
Thank you very much for all your hard work on it!! ^w^

Rapu’s avatarI love this manka! Thank you so much for translating it!!

Liria’s avatarSuch a cute story. Thank you for your hard work on it!

habelie’s avatarOh, wow. I wasn’t expecting this to be that good when I was only into the first few chapters. Thank you very much for all the work.

Andrea’s avatarAfter reading After School Nightmare yesterday. I was keen in her works, so today I search for all her works and I found this “The Cornered Mouse Dream of Cheese” I am currently still reading and that is how i found out about this website; I would not have known about this website if I never read this manga. I’m so glad that I found out another YAOI website. I will Save this website…

Thank you very much!! ^^

Whitney’s avatarHello,

I found an extra chapter/one shot in relation to these two. I don’t know if you would be interested in/had the time to translate it. Let me know.

caramelxf’s avatarThank you so much for scanslating this manga. Through this manga I was able to like Mizushiro setona sensei’s works more.
I can’t wait till next month, the publisher is going to release a sequel to this series<3 It was going to only to be limited to cellphone website, but according to mizushiro sensei’s blog it’s going to be released as a book next month!!

mindy’s avatarsa-wad-dee-kaa

I’m thailand your work so fun! next work I want yuri!

Thank you for your hard work - bow.
It is one my favorites. Unique plot, very sensual art, characters who are belivable. Image of Imagases profile…its haunting.
Do you plan translate this sequel too? If ye then it is dream come true!
Once again - thank you!

vivogram’s avatarI came here after reading on Mizushiro sensei’s webpage that the sequel has been published as a book! I am so excited about that! Do you think you will be scanlating the book? It would be so awesome if you do because you did such an incredible job with “Cornered Mouse”.

Thank you once again for the great work you have done.

Kiwi Bird’s avatarIt’s odd, in a way, that I like these characters so much because both the main characters have fidelity issues, and we never really get to see why Imagase fell so hard for Ootomo. I mean, I can understand love at first sight, but why would an attraction based on looks alone persist for ten years or more? *shrug* Such are the wayward ways of the human heart, perhaps. In any case, these two are oddly well-suited, and their unconventional path to love is truly captivating.

This is one of the more complex (and believable) manga I’ve read. So, I’m definitely eager to read any future chapters, once they become available. Thanks so much for scanlating and sharing!

ravie’s avatarI want to read more!!!!

Thanks for working on this. Mizushiro-sensei’s works are awesome ?

mantou’s avatarI finally read mouse(which i downloaded but forgotten to read) after found that carp released. It’s really interesting and I love how the characters developed. Thank you for translating and scanlating this title. I’m your biggest fan, I love your translation! I don’t mind if you work in your own pace.

choc’s avatarthank u!!!
