Kyou Kara Maou Series
Title: Kyou Kara Ma no Tsuku Jiyuugyou / 今日からマのつく自由業!
Author: Takabayashi Tomo
Illustrator: Matsumoto Temari
From MAL:
Yuri Shibuya was living a pretty normal life. That changed the day he was dunked into a toilet after an attempt to save a classmate from a gang of bullies. Instead of just getting a good soaking, he's pulled in. The next thing he knows, he's in a world that vaguely resembles medieval Europe. If that's not odd enough, he's told that he is to be the next Maoh, just because he has black hair and black eyes. The Maoh is the King of the Mazoku, who are coexisting not-so-peacefully with the humans in this world. Much to his subjects' dismay, he's totally different from the rulers they're accustomed to. He's kind, considerate, a believer in justice, and not willing to use violence to solve conflicts. Not exactly someone they want running a country on the very brink of war. Now, Yuri has to deal with trying to become a good Maoh, while at the same time attempting to adapt to this lands' customs and culture, all in a world where the tension between the humans and Mazoku is reaching its peak.
It has two anime series, a manga series and an OVA. I have no idea why it stopped though...

Maru-Ma series, I love it *-*
But well, Novel 10, Prologue:
Translated german-english. Not literally.
But well, Novel 10, Prologue:
Well, I´m trying to translate chapter 1 too, but my english isn´t very good. So, I still hesitate about giving it a try or not. And by the way, I don´t know how to make a wikipage. :/Everyday I´ve got enough to eat and a place where to sleep, it´s simple, but nice. And at the end of the month I even get some money.
Merit in the battlefield will always be properly paid. But it is not just for the money, it is also the excitement, when I move incognito into enemy territory.
My heart trambles and then I feel alive. The greater the risk, the better.
My Land is important for me. It feeds me.
For my country I know no way that´s too long. I fight and face any oponent for it. About the reasons why I don´t believe in giving up. This is not just a soldier. They pay us to fight and we have to obey our superior´s orders.
“What exactly is patriotism, right?” I asked once to an officer whom I met after a long time.
“What if you are plotting a misión that is not paying off for you?”- he asked back.
“If that´s the case I would try to reject it” I said. “But if the order comes from you, Excellency, I will certainly not hesitate in performing it.”
Not to tell, that I already have used all the chances, to disguise myself as a woman under my country´s service. What should I do? It´s fantastic how I´ve looked like a woman not just once.

Re: Kyou Kara Maou Series
Awesome. Thanks for the teaser, I really love Kyou Kara Maou as well. I would try to help translating if I could find raws, but they don't seem to be anywhere. As for your English, it doesn't matter if it's very good, that's what the editors will help with. I can create the wiki page for Kyou Kara Maou I think...unless I need a higher-ups permission first.bleedingcarnation wrote:Maru-Ma series, I love it *-*

I'm planning to translate volume 1 so that I can read along as well, if that's no problem.

Re: Kyou Kara Maou Series
One of the few LN with a German translation.... http://www.carlsen.de/web/manga/buch?tn=162007 - but too bad that this isnt really my taste.
Good luck with your project!

Re: Kyou Kara Maou Series
Sounds like a pretty generic "average kid gets sucked into an alternate world where he is awesome" with a touch of BL. Not really anything I would be interested in...

Re: Kyou Kara Maou Series
Just stating my reason for the "Not Really" vote, as the poll requests. If I waited to give it a try before voting what would the point of voting be? It doesn't sound like something I would enjoy so I voted that way...
