I'm a little BLACK butterfly.

Something special today. I'm proud to announce our first non-H translation, and the opening of it's accompanying blog, Little BLACK Butterflies! I know, I'm very original... We've chosen to translate Kami no Shizuku, which is commonly translated as The Tears of God in English. If I may quote Wikipedia’s description: Shizuku Kanzaki, is the son of a recently deceased, world renowned wine critic Yutaka Kanzaki who owns a vast wine collection. In order to take ownership of his legacy, he must find 13 wines, known as the “Twelve Apostles” and the “Les Gouttes de Dieu” that his father described in his will. He has a competitor called Issei Tomine, a renowned young wine critic, who is his father’s adopted son. Shizuku has never drunk or has any previous knowledge about wines, but with strong senses of taste and smell, plus knowledge gained from his time with his father, and with support from his friends and colleagues like sommelier trainee Miyabi Shinohara, Shizuku submerges himself in the world of wine and tries to solve the mysteries of the 13 wines and defeat Issei Tomine. It’s a thoroughly engrossing story. It’s well written with excellent artwork, and if you have even the most passing interest in wine then you’re sure to find it fascinating. It’s exceptionally popular in Japan, Korea and China but for some reason it’s never been published in English. There are currently 23 tanks, of which 20 chapters have been translated. This puts us a little into the start of tank 3, which is where I step in. I Eat Manga has translated the last 12 chapters or so, and we’ll be trading off chapters in order to get some progress on this magnificent story. Anyway, enough talk. The latest chapter that we've translated, 21, is linked to the picture above. I'll work on getting the first 20 uploaded to FAKKU ASAP, but they're available in a zip on the BLOG if you need. Please leave us lots of comments letting us know what you think of this exciting new development!

Last time I read "Kami no Shizuku" I ended with quite heavy wine drinking degustation :)

I cannot express my joy. Having seen the almost prismatic covers of the manga at my local kinokuniya, I was in anguish over the lack of translated updates. Thank you so, very much.
