Fushigiboshi no ☆ Futagohime Gyu! 15, “Thoma’s Conspiracy ☆ The Stage’s Sweet Trap!” was released. In fact, this file had been ready to release since July, but unfortunately release was delayed by two months, largely because of IRL reasons.
January 14, 2024
Idol Angel Yōkoso Yōko 08, “A Wonderful Handmade Loft” was released. Actually this file was created in November, 2023; final-checking took a long time.
November 11, 2023
It is planned that we will release Fushigiboshi no ☆ Futagohime Gyu! 14, “Mysterious Tour ☆ Beyond the Sealed Door” this weekend (November 11 or 12, 2023). This is such a fun episode. Mō chotto matte ne!
PS (Nov 12): It’s out! Released today.
August 26, 2023
Idol Angel Yōkoso Yōko 07, “The Lonely God of the Town” was released. Currently, though, the file is only available from EdK and from the XDCC bot in our channel.
PS (Aug 28): The file is now available on TT/Nyaa. Enjoy!
July 15, 2023
Fushigiboashi no ☆ Futagohime Gyu! 13 is out. Kind of. It’s listed on EdK, and to be added to TT/Nyaa later. [PS (July 16): It’s now there.]
June 25, 2023
The script for Fushigiboashi no ☆ Futagohime Gyu! 13 has been almost finalized. If everything goes well, Episode 13 is expected to be released in late June or early July. Episode 14 might be released (relatively) soon after that. The next release after Gyu 13 will be Idol Angel Yōkoso Yōko 07, though, since it is near final.

The bit character in this last picture is a cameo of Matsuda-sensei from Eriko. The high-rise building depicted in this episode is Tōhō Seimei Building (now renamed to Shibuya Cross Tower); it had been the tallest building in Shibuya until 2012, when the Shibuya Hikarie was completed. The fancy (French) restaurant Kyōko visits was on the highest (32nd) floor. It was named La Rochelle, and closed on September 30, 2011.

This is a fun episode. Enjoy! Maybe we’ll add some info here about the mystic “song” (not right now, to avoid spoilers).
It was released around 1:00 UTC on November 12, 2023. The official release date for reference (the topic update in #honobono on IRC): 2023-11-12T19:45 UTC.
Released via honobono.edwardk.info and on irc.aniverse.com on August 26, 2023; via TT/Nyaa on August 28, 2023. The official release date: August 30, 2023 (11:16 UTC)
The park depicted in this episode is based on Nabeshima Shōtō Kōen, Shibuya, Tōkyō.
Note: While the sign in the picture above reads “Shibuya City,” Shibuya is technically a ward (ku) rather than a city (shi), meaning it is one of the 23 special districts of central Tokyo. Tokyo also has quite a few cities in its suburbs, though. For example, Kazetachi City (fictional) from Hime-chan’s Ribbon is based on Kunitachi City, Tokyo (really existing).
Official release date: July 16, 2023. (The file was already available on July 15, but only on EdK.)
Note: In the preview at the end of Episode 12, it is said that the title of the next episode will be: Arguing with the Angel ☆ Pyupyu Runs Away. But we have changed that to: Arguing with an Angel ☆ Pyupyu Runs Away.
REPARD (Le[o]pard), a classical music café depicted in this episode, is based on a real such café, Lion (RAION), existing in Shibuya since 1926. Ja.wikipedia has an article about Meikyoku Kissa Lion. The following picture shows REPARD (left) and Lion (photo by 遡雨祈胡).
The café is only referred to as mise (“shop”) in this episode, not actually called kissa (“café”), let alone meikyoku kissa (lit. “music masterpiece café” i.e. “classical music café”). Nevertheless, we let the Master say “my classical music café” in our translation when originally he just says kono mise (“this shop”), since this fact is rather obvious for the original audience. Similarly, we paraphrased the lines related to jiage-ya (“land shark”) to clarify the original implication. If you want to see the exact original lines, you can switch subtitle tracks to Japanese.

Additional Info:
Karasawa in Eriko (above) and Katsuragi in Yōko
(Katsuragi in Eriko was Karasawa’s co-worker; maybe they got married and Karasawa’s surname changed?)
We’ve been unable to update our proper home page honobono.cc since around the end of May, due to a technical reason. The server for honobono.cc is up, but the page shown there now is an old version from May 26, as we can’t update anything on that server currently. [PS: The problem was fixed on June 18.]
By the way, many of our web pages do not support HTTPS. When you visit our pages, your browser may say that the connection is not secure. Such a warning is very relevant when you’ll have to send sensitive information like passwords or credit card details. Since our web pages are read-only (where you can read about the current status of our projects) and have no edit boxes etc. where you can input information, HTTPS is less relevant here.
(If you are asked to input anything when viewing our website, something is wrong. We have no reason to ask your private info.)
If you are using the HTTPS-Only Mode, your browser may show an Alert because of the above reason, saying something like: “HTTPS version of this page is not available. If you decide to visit the website, you should not enter any sensitive information.”
Anyway, we are actively working on Fushigiboshi no ☆ Futagohime 13, which is almost ready to release but final-checking is necessary before that. Fushigiboshi no ☆ Futagohime 14, a surprisingly fun episode, was also test-encoded and currently being QCed. Yōkoso Yōko 06 has been ready to release since like two weeks ago; unfortunately, the person in charge of actual release process is simply being busy IRL. Yōkoso Yōko 07 is near ready too!
