New Release: The Carp on the Chopping Block Jumps Twice, Chapters 1 and 2

Hello all,

Thanks to everyone who waited patiently for this. Txilar and I worked very hard to get this out as quickly as possible. I’m still kind of amazed that we pulled it off in roughly two weeks! (Well, I had a rough draft that I did last year, but, still…) We plan to keeping working hard and, hopefully, minimize the wait between chapters. That said, the third chapter is 80 pages and the fourth is double that… practically a manga itself! I considered releasing in parts, but, in the end, that feels messy to me, so we’re going to do complete chapters. I’m feeling a little intimidated at the moment, but I know we can do it! I like a challenge, after all. And the more I get done, the less overwhelming it feels. (I’ve already scanned and started translating Chapter Three…)

The download page is here. Please note that what’s called “Chapter Two” is actually a four page extra that she drew for the manga edition. The file may seem small, but it’s supposed to be that way.

There’s also a cool, new “matching” Mouse cover. I’m going to buy this edition soon. I want a set. (Plus, my original copy is “loose leaf” now.) Here’s the picture from her website, in case you have trouble navigating in Japanese. Unfortunately, I couldn’t link directly to it.

ibythetide’s avatari fell in love with this series and am so happy to see more of it yayay! thank you for your hard work!

angua’s avatarThank you very much!
Love it!

amoxi’s avataroh guys you make me very, very….very happy today. I remember it wasn’t clear the second volume gets even published as tankoubon, since it was only published over handy? Still think it’s weird. Whatever, you did a great and fast job. Thank you so much.

What really astonishes me is how artists who normally do shoujo can pull such awesome and explicit! yaoi manga (it’s the same with Yuu Watase and ‘Sakura Gari’ which I absolutely love)……….I guess once in a while they need a break from shoujo as well.

Now I have breakfast with these hot bishies. Please excuse me. <3333

youn’s avatarwaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you are so awesome!!!!!!!
i love you TT TT!!!!
thank you very much for your hard work!
lots of greetings from germany!
a nice week for you!

I was waiting for this!
Thank you, you’re great!!!!!!!

Leeloo’s avatarThank you thank you thank you!! I love this manga!

Periscope’s avatarI’ve always wanted to thank you for your efforts in translating (your past, present and future projects) and I have to say “Cornered Mouse” is one of my favorites (and now there’s a sequel!!). Aside for the obvious (ahem, art) it’s the dialogue that keeps me riveted. As I know Japanese isn’t the easiest to translate, I have to say your translations keep the emotion and angst (and dare I say, passion) with the drawings. There are a lot of similar sites out there, but I find your translations wonderful - I’m looking forward for more!

Saskie-’s avatarwaaaa, thank you very much for translaiting this
I love cornered mouse very much
thank you, really thank you

2old4yaoi’s avatarThank you so much for your hard work. It is amazing that you ladies got the 1st 2 chapters done in such a short time. Your translation is superb. I definitely am very looking forward to the long ch 3 but I will be patient because I know you are doing your best. Please always remember that your work is very much appreciated by us. Have a great weekend.

Arkanta’s avatarThank you very much *___*

david_holmes’s avatarAbsolutely LOVELY. Both the mangaka for continuing with a sequel and you for making such lovely scanlations (and for doing it so fast!!).

THANK YOU! You made my weekend!

ampersand’s avatarThank you! Thank you so much! I didn’t know there was a sequel, and I’m so happy. That first chapter was amazing. The depth of emotion was so beautiful. I love how their relationship has moved forward and Kyouichi is becoming stronger. Thank you for your continuing translation. It must be so difficult, but you’ve done an amazing job.

I just died and went to heaven. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

dragon_rouge’s avatarThank you so much. I had found the 2nd title a few weeks ago on the french editor’s site but it will be published only in october. And I was kind of desperate to have to wait soooo long.
Your job is fantastic. Thanks again with much love!!!

flor’s avatarthank you for your hard work, you’re fantastic and this manga is so awesome!!! chapter 2 was so comical and cute five stars***** can’t wait for the third ch, but oh 80 pages is so long, so i wish you all the best.
muchos exitos :)

Razberry’s avatarThank you so much for scanlating this wonderful manga and doing such a magnificent job of it too!! I wish I had started reading this earlier because I can already tell this manga and mangaka would become one of my favorites. The writing is a cut above the many, many other yaoi mangas out there; my heart literally ached as I read because I was so worried about the outcome of their relationship. Actually, I’m still worried since there’s more chapters to go! If things don’t turn out well for them, I am definitely going to sob my eyes out. And the h-scenes were oh my GOD so SEXY!!! I can’t wait for the next release! Thank you thank you!!

Thanking you so much for this. Thanks

oryo’s avatarAwesome. I just saw that you released those chapters. I loved the first book, because the characters felt so down to earth. So thank you very much for your hard work.

lozzenator’s avatarOMG thank you so much for this release. I was SO looking forward to a sequel. Great job translating a manga that’s as deep as this one. All that emotion and angst!
Thanks so much for picking up this title, you guys have great taste in the manga that you choose to work on.

kothithelegu’s avatarThank you very much! This is a wonderful series. :) I enjoyed the development of the charecters in this sequel.

Laura’s avataryay! i loved the prequel1 can’t wait to read this! thanks for working on this1

OOOMMGGG….I never knew there was a sequel to The Cornered Mouse….but after reading it I was begging for one and now here it is! What a wonderful surprise I got today! Thank you PRESENCEDEAR and TXILAR for your wonderful work on this serie. I love it to pieces and can’t get enough. I’m super happy and way too excited for more. Thank you for choosing to do these two wonderful mangas! (with such weird titles by the way ^^)

thanks… this story was wonderful!

K E I’s avatarThank you!! You guys are amazing!

I enjoyed it very much.

Shekinaah’s avatarA big thank you to all the staff of presence dear, and specially to the two amazing people that have been working their asses off on this chapters to brings us more of the Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese, once again thank you and keep working hard!

Evey Shiki’s avatarThank you for your hard work, you are all amazing. I felt sad when I thought “The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese” was over.

When I heard there was going to be a sequal I jumped for joy and kept my eyes out. Do your best I am enjoying this manga and it has much more of a plot that I barly see from other yaoi manga.

Waiting for the next chapter patiently, thank you…

cam’s avatarWOW! I was just thinking Cornered Mouse really needed a sequel and here it is! Thank you guys so much for your dedication and hard work. This totally made my week!

fullname’s avatarhank you so much for your hard work! I red the prequel and i loved it … the chapter 2 (extra) of the sequel is so… funny and heart warming at the end

like many, i will wait patiently for the chapter 3… 80 pages that gonna be a lot of work… good luck!

J’s avatarlike the others, I am so surprised (and delighted) that there is a sequel! I just loved, loved, loved Cornered Mouse, and am so happy that you guys will be scanlating the sequel! Thank you so much for your hard work. I loved these two chapters (the second “chapter” was so cute. Imagase’s conniving nature is so amusing), and will be eagerly (and patiently) waiting for the third chapter. Thank you again! :)
