A few rough translation notes on ashita wa docchida?’s StrikerS Nano! parodies of the first Sound Stage. AFAIK while scanlation of the main body (001-182) covering the TV series has been completed, I’ve only seen a translated version (thread) of the first comic (original) of the first Sound Stage thus far.
Hope I’m not reinventing the wheel (and doing so rather badly in the process); corrections will be greatly appreciated.

Like many other self-hosted animu bloggers, I’m seeing the ‘A new version of WordPress is available! Please update now.’ underneath the menu bar.

I’d really appreciate any input, feedback, advice from fellow anime bloggers about their 2.5 upgrade experience - especially K2 theme users.

Nagi sends Hayate out on an errand in order to prepare a surprise ‘Congratulations on your promotion to the next level of high school’ party. But not before saying some hurtful things. With her words in his mind, an elite butler courier firm attempts to headhunt Hayate, promising to pay off his debts. Hina-chan thinks about how she’d like to congratulate Hayate too.
