Kyouran Kazoku Nikki

Kyouran Kazoku Nikki (Wiki)
light novel series by Akira
illustrations by x6suke

Its about a family brought together as they have genes of a evil god that was eventually killed. so the plan is to make a happy family so those with the genes would not want to end the world.
the family consists of a mother with cat ears and tail, with the ability to send radio waves and control ppl and drive ppl insane ^^", a father who doesnt know how to love, the only one who seems logical in the family, a gay guy, and a girl who is in love with this guy, a poor cute little girl, with a lion to protect her, a robot that wanna destroy everything, a jellyfish that.... doesnt seem like a jellyfish? unless jellyfish eats sushi and floats around the air?
Well, its quite a good anime, and its a novel, not sure if its been licensed yet, but the anime got me interested... anyone thinks it should be translated?

P.S. waiting for 1 and 2 to deliver, locating 3 and 4, obtained 5 and 6 at a treasure chest in a local bookstore...

If you could, add in the synopsis, publisher, and any other relevant information about the work including an image of the cover. This helps greatly with getting a project underway. 8)

EDIT: To insert images you can either link them from another site using the Img command found just above the text box, or below you can upload it from your PC by browsing for it then clicking "Add the file".

It starts off well, but then quickly careens into the hysterical world of ineffable happenings... Er, in other words, it gets too crazy, and in a way it's quite formulaic. Trouble, links with a certain family member's past, resolution, rinse, repeat. This is just my opinion though :)

*Sips tea* Been awhile since I posted here. Anyway, I've been watching the anime, and frankly, I love it. And not just because of the electric-butterfly/terrorist-bomber girl. Though Raichou is awesome. Formulaic it might be, in a way, but I really do enjoy it. Enough that if anybody wants to get it translated, I'll be glad to do the Proofreading myself (yes, I have experience; I've worked with Baka-tsuki before, even, on Zero no Tsukaima).

Why dokuro chan at Kyouran Kazoku Nikki thread...?

Anyways, red, comparing the novel and anime, i find the anime more interesting... But i have only read volumes 1 and 2 (in chinese) so i cannot comment on the later happenings. In the novel, things seem a little more plain, and not that special. So personally I don't really enjoy it all that much.

@Shadow: I wanted one for my Signature. Anyway, I understand that not everybody might like the series, and ultimately, we all have different tastes. Never any shame in just saying you yourself don't like a particular series. I'll read basically anything that isn't shounen-ai (at least, not serious shounen-ai; it it's comedic like Aoi House...) and likely enjoy it, so I'm able to work on a lot of different things. I haven't read the Ln version of KKN myself, but I am interested in it.

@Monkey: Hey, someone I recognize! XD And yes, that works nicely. *Steals*

So many novels, so little time...

P.S. red, Dokuro-chan ended, in case u dont know

Yes, I know it ended. ~.^ I don't read shounen-ai simply because I'm a straight male, and I'm not interested in seeing two guys making out. Kyouran Kazoku Nikki itself has a rare character exception (though I think he technically has Gender Identity Disorder...), so even if Ginka is creepy when he's acting weird, I'd work on this.

And I've love to work on this character...

That looks like a good signature =X its better than that Dokuro-chan. The size of that Dokuro-chan is more suitable for an avatar =X

Kyouran Kazoku Nikki's Ginka isn't involved in shounen-ai really ^^" he is too chained up(literally) by Chika to have any shounen-ai =X

Well, the personality's there, and that's usually what I count. XD And Chika makes it completely tolerable. The entire female cast, actually, is one I find rather entertaining, including the jellyfish and Shinigami-san... Ah, well. It's a shame the anime's nearly done, though.

The female casts are all very interesting, though i don't really enjoy Kyoka that much =X

Umm, the anime was... ahm... how should I say it quite bit eccentric? :mrgreen: - but not in a bad way so I would like to see a little bit of the novels too - maybe at least a teaser ? would that be possible?
Please don't mind my bad english since I'm german.
