Birdcage has quickly become a Melly-recommended series for its quirky art and interesting slice-of-lifey story.
Finally, we have one of our more anticipated new series up for download! This one’s by Takarai Rihito, based on the novel of the same name by Kabei Yukako, which, incidentally, just ended a couple of months ago at six volumes. That said, this is definitely a new one for us at Turtle Paradise for its more mature story-telling style and often bitter-sweet themes, not to mention irony. It’s difficult to put into words just how amazing this is, so go ahead and download it, then tell us what you think! (It’s a bit of a large download at almost 20 megs big, mostly due to the immense 60-page chapter. Hooooly smokes!)

this looks like a great manga! i really like this mangakas work and am happy to see a shoujo by her. thanks so much!
OMG THANK YOU!! I’ve been waiting for this because I really love this artist for her BL story Seven Days and I’m sure this one is really good as well<3 Thanks again can't wait for the next!
Thank you so much for picking up this project! I’ve been wanting to read this for ages ever since I picked up Seven Days, haha. xD
After someone mentioned Seven Days on our projects page, I had to take a look at that, too! And even though BL usually isn’t my thing, I loved it so much! I think I’m a fan of the author now =P

Thank you for picking it up! *hugs*

Whoops, a correction to my own correction:
Page 13:
“blew up the end” -> “blew up at the end”
(And for future reference, how does the system here decide whether or not I have permission to edit my comments after I post them? It’s letting me edit this one, but not my previous one.)
Thanks for the heads up, Anon! I’m working on a v2 as I type.
As for Yusei’s name, I’m actually going off the official romanized versions of the characters’ names as listed in volume one of the novels, hence, also, “Etoh” as opposed to “Etou”. Still, thanks for pointing that out. (Now go apply for QC. Do it.)
And this is why we need two QCers… Um, I guess? =/
Geeze, if you have enough time to pick apart a release, just apply or something! Also, comments can’t be edited after a certain amount of time has passed. I believe it’s five minutes.
Thank you so much for the release! The first chapter was very interesting. I love it?? The art is so beautiful!
