I am very excited to present an English translation of Kazushi Sasaki's Cutey Honey Flash manga! This is a very unique adaptation that tosses out the romance elements of the TV series to focus more on Honey and Seira's sisterly relationship. The artwork is absolutely stunning and it's quite a fun read to boot. Scanning, translating and editing were all done by me. This is an ongoing project.

You can read the first chapter here. Please enjoy!

New images and details about Cutie Honey Nova have been released. In this version, Honey Kisaragi is a performing arts student at St. Capella Academy and aspires to be an idol. She always has her "Saber Scan" which was created by her father, Dr. Kisaragi. Cutie Honey is a mysterious Warrior of Love who defeats villains with her charms and superhuman abilities.

More details about this project as well as the first chapter of the manga adaptation will be available in Girls Plasmo Style #06. The Cutie Honey Nova manga will be serialized on Hobby Japan Web beginning April 1st. Each chapter will be updated on the 1st and 15th of every month.

I have Girls Plasmo Style on pre-order and will share more details when it comes in. I'm hoping the comic is at least enjoyable because none of these other details are doing it for me...

The complete Cutie Honey TV series is now available on SD Blu-ray! I was a producer for this release and I also did the subtitles. I still can't believe I got to work on the official English release of my all time favorite anime!

You can order a copy through Crunchyroll, Amazon or Media OCD.

Please support official Cutie Honey releases!

Discotek Media is releasing the original Cutie Honey TV series on SD-BD. The release date is February 25th, 2025.

I did the subtitles (and then some) for this release, which is honestly a dream come true. I was only 14 years old when I imported the Japanese DVDs with my own allowance money. Never in a million years did I think I'd get to work on its official US release!

This Blu-ray will have a completely new and improved translation from the original DVDs. Names and terminology will be consistent with Discotek's New Cutey Honey, Re: Cutie Honey and Cutie Honey The Live releases.

My friend and magical girl enthusiast, Ayumi Shinozaki, did a lot of translation work for this release. She especially helped out with a lot of trickier dialogue, namely 90% of Danbei and Ms. Alphonne's lines. My good friend @sailorfuncomics was also a huge help by proofreading the subtitles. And of course, huge thank you to Justin Sevakis and David Miranda for making this all possible.

We all put a lot of work into this release, so I'm glad to finally see it come out! Please support more Cutie Honey in the US by pre-ordering a copy!

Honey Flash! Sully and returning guest Salvatore (@RetroSofa) sit down with VA and dub director David Wald and OG Cutie Honey dub actress Jessica Calvello to discuss their work on the recent English dub for the 2004 OVA Re: Cutie Honey from Discotek! Topics include how Go Nagai chose Jessica for the role of Honey, how dubbing has changed since Jessica first took the role in the 90s for New Cutie Honey, and what makes Honey so special all these years later. An important note: This was recorded a few months ago, prior to David’s statement on Crunchyroll opening his fan mail without his knowledge and dispersing the contents to their staff. Upon David’s request, we didn’t go back and add any additional mention of this in the episode, but we did want to state here in text that we are deeply disappointed in Crunchyroll’s behavior and we encourage anyone listening or reading this to support David and call upon Crunchyroll to do better.

I recently had the pleasure to discuss all things Cutie Honey with David Wald and Jessica Calvello on the Third Impact Anime podcast. Please give it a listen!

I've been a huge Cutie Honey fan since I was fourteen years old. Back then only New Cutey Honey was officially available in the US. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd get more Honey or that I would be lucky enough to work on these US releases!

Re: Cutie Honey is out now, which was a very exciting project to be apart of. It was my first time having involvement with an English dub and getting to write up liner notes for a Cutie Honey release.

Hopefully a Blu-ray release of the original TV series and Cutey Honey Flash are in the foreseeable future. In the meantime you can get New Cutey Honey, Re: Cutie Honey, Cutie Honey The Live and Cutie Honey Universe on Blu-ray now!
