Steins;Gate Novel Epigraph Trilogy.

Post by Haiyami »

So I know everyone is hyped about the new Steins;Gate game that's coming out, Steins;Gate 0, but I would really like to see the Epigraph Trilogy novels to be translated which are: Epigraph of the Closed Curve, Pandora of Eternal Return, and Altair at the Apoapsis of Infinity. There is a manga going on the the manga is on hiatus and I haven't seen any updates in Japanese. So what's the next source? The novels which are completed and done and have more information which I was told that only certain information will be in the novels!

Would anyone else like to see these novels translated? I sure as heck would! I know for sure there is no English license for them because I've searched as hard as I can to find an English license and it does not exist.


Here are the covers of the novels, I think. Listed from Epigraph first to Altair being the last. They will listed from top to bottom.

Sheesh, why has nobody replied yet? Steins;Gate is an awesome franchise, with even the VN to have an english release, so it's sad to see, no one is interested in the Light Novels.

I am very very interested in a translation of the epigraph trilogy light novels. The anime isn't going to be out anytime soon (sg0 I mean) and the manga is on hiatus. I am sure the Reddit steins gate community would appreciate this as well. If there's anyone out there who can do this please reply!!!

I have never done any translation work before, but I would like to test my Japanese skills on this one. If anyone can provide the raws, please do so and I'll try my best translating it! I'll also try to keep localisation as minimum as possible (but with explanatory notes if I can) to keep it as close to what the author has intended.

Ugh... I downloaded the raws but they're in PNG format and I can't read kanji that well. Due to circumstances, I can't run programs to hook the kanji in the text. Would someone be able to post a google doc file of the hooked text? Thanks! ^u^
(I've only learnt Japanese for a year >~< forgive me)

PS: I'll try and save up for my own laptop so I don't have these crappy limitations...

Just a quick note, it is against forum rules to post links to raw versions of novel (or any language for which an official version exists), as well as request those versions. Hopefully it will work out for you.
