Heart Cocktail Vol 6

Heart Cocktail, based on a manga series by Watase Seizou, is a joint project between DarkWispers (Darkonius), Lonely Chaser (MartyMcflies), and Orphan. Here is the last volume, volume 6. It's basically just like the other five: a series of vignettes, three minutes or less, each telling a short story of love found or lost, or sometimes both.

This volume has perhaps a slightly more optimistic tinge than some of the previous ones. There are more stories of love started or ongoing than ending or gone. But one of the best, in my view, is about an ending: My Former Aunt. It's told from the point of view of her nephew, who discovers during the breakup of his uncle's marriage, that he likes his soon-to-be former aunt a lot more than his blood relative:

The male and female leads, and the music composer, are unchanged from volume 5. Staff credits are also unchanged. Darkonius translated the show and did initial timing. Yume translation checked. ninjacloud fine timed. I edited and typeset. Nemesis and Rezo QCed. MartyMcflies provided overall coordination of the front-end work; I coordinated the back end. Special thanks, again, to 6/10 for his initial translation work. There wasn't room to include him in the credits this time.

This concludes our work on Heart Cocktail. There are several sequels, Heart Cocktail Again and Heart Cocktail Colorful, as well as OVAs that appear stylistically related, such as Chalk Colored People. Perhaps we'll get to them in the future. Meanwhile, you can download this episode from the usual torrent site or from IRC bot Orphan|Arutha in channels #nibl or #news on irc.rizon.net.
