BEATLESS - Lacia Concept -

[Phryll]

Series is licensed:
Satoshi Hase, redjuice's Beatless Novel to Be Serialized in English Online

==Original Post==
Could some one please translate the series of light novels named "Beatless" ?

I would very much appreciate it, thanks.

[Doraneko]

Please also include other necessary information as required by the Project Petition Guidelines.

Btw as a fan of Beatless, I am quite interested in how you learnt about the series. The last time I checked Hase Sensei is not on the radar of most English LN readers. The series is also almost unheard of in the English community. The few who know about it have probably read it in Japanese already.

Again...is the artist the guy who did Guilty Crown's artwork or what....

Well I love Circlet Girl to bits so this would most likely be good too....Who's the publisher and what genre?

I am very interested in getting the whole series of Circlet Girl too but quite a few volumes are already out-of-print...

Who's the publisher and what genre?

It is being serialized in Newtype and has not yet been published as standalone paperbacks. The setting is futuristic with andriods and whatnot so it is vanilla SF. Unlike Circlet Girl there is no magic involved in the story. As a whole the story is also more reader-friendly.

Yea Redjuice is doing the art.

Epic shit...good cyberpunk SF. I LIKE

Eh really? My Kino has every Circlet Girl volume here and the only person buying them off at leisure is me....

What...serialized in Newtype? You subscribe to that thing?

Damn...can't wait for novelization to come out....


Redjuice art is win as ever

Lucky you...

If the corporate guys in Kadokawa are not retarded they should take advantage of the latest Konorano ranking and publish the series again. There is a strong demand as shown by the surging prices of the second-hand copies.

What...serialized in Newtype? You subscribe to that thing?

Nah ~780yen+shipping for 10 pages (roughly equal to 30-40 bunko pages) is simply too much. My friend used to buy it regularly and I just borrowed the new issues from him each month. However he terminated his subscription recently so I am stuck at chapter 5.

Damn...can't wait for novelization to come out....

Me too.

It's precisely that reason why I'm surprised there's such a thing as "out of print" for this....

[reADilice]

Maybe someone should make a teaser

So, uh Doraneko, do I need to start a new post to create a poll? I'm new to this, and would like some pointers, thanks very much
EDIT: nvm, I've created one.

Btw, as an answer to your question, I learnt of this series while sifting through Redjuice's art in deviant art, as some one above may have pointed out.

Now I just need to verify that it's not licensed and get a willing translator as well as a raw copy, right?

Do you have raw copy and would you be willing to do it?

[Phryll]

uh....

I don't know japanese, so I can't really translate it myself..

as for the raw copy, PDFs of it can be downloaded of here:
http://beatless.jp/download.html

Is there a willing translator out there who could help?

[Cosmic Eagle]

Err...holy shit...the downloads are official? Pirating this stuff is actually legal for once wwww


Thanks for them links BTW

[Phryll]

So, as a final question, how DO I get a willing translator to help with translating the novels?

Btw, I can't read japanese, so I would really appreciate it if someone could help, because I've been wanting to read beatless but can't, due to the language barrier

pray hard someone is interested to work on it. We do not have free translators most of the time, and even if we do, it is up to the translator whether he/she is interested in the project. So it is really up to the individual whether a series is translated or not.

WOW, the artwork provided by DoraNeko is simply superb. A cyberpunk SF light novel making me drool already O,O !
