The RAWs I used were Chinese RAWs based on Japanese ones, but from what the wiki article tells me, there are official Chinese novels available.

I'll be scouring the net for more RAWs, but for now, you can at least expect the first novel from me (the chapters are ridiculously short and easy to translate, meaning I'll be able to translate an entire chapter in one sitting, though I don't know when will I be motivated enough to do the 1st chapter lol).

If anyone manages to locate a copy of Chinese RAWs Vol 2 - 8 (where it's been translated until, hopefully from an official source), I'm all set for it. It's good to translate something simple, stupid and light-hearted for a change :P

(This however, means that I'll probably be doing even less GOTH... >.<)

For the meantime, enjoy the Prologue :3

Pipirupirupirupipirupi!

EDIT: After double checking, it seems my RAWs only run for half a volume :cry:

I'll try checking the regular places for more RAWs later.
Here's vol2,3:

I believe Dokuro-chan was a fun watch, but the story wasn't very deep at all, and it's a certain kind of comedy that I just couldn't picture reading about. So I'm going to have to say no to this project.

hmm...

not many interest in this novel, personally i think this series does better as a animation, the pure blood letting is only fully appreciated on the screen.

While this is kind of semi-related, here goes nothing:

Dokuro-chan finally got licensed as an anime. I wonder what they intend to do about all of the censoring.

I think it's better to translate KnS than this...but if you like it,you can translate anything you want.

No worries, i am currently doing KnS for now... i think i should contact HolyCow before trying Dokuro chan anyways, since HolyCow already did the prologue... and i am at a loss on what i need to do and stuff ^^"
Note: i joined this forum only yesterday, saw this web two days ago? a.k.a i know nuts about here...

Dont worry, i am still translating KnS for now, i wanted to talk with HolyCow before i even start on Dokuro, since HolyCow already did the prologue, besides, i am new to this place, VERY new... so i know nothing, so i guess i need to ask for some info before i can start anything ^^"

P.S. sorry, wasnt a double post... was more of i posted once, why didnt it appear? let me try posting again... oops, it requires someone to let it be seen >"<
and so, Dokuro-chan, to translate or not to translate? thats the question

Dokuro-chan editors and translators

Post by ShadowZeroHeart »

Excuse me to bring up this topic...
But when you edit/translate the novel, if possible, please keep the revival spell as close to the actual text as possible...
I mean, if the spell was in bold, bold the text, if the spell was chanted wrongly, please type it wrongly too ^^"
Thank you

Reason:
Spoiler! :
In one of the novel volumes(forgot the exact number) Dokuro did a failed revival despite the spell being correctly chanted, due to the fact that the spell was not in bold, indicating something wrong with Dokuro-chan at that moment in time.

If you want someone's opinion,here's mine:Stick to KnS(though I'd prefer more translators on ZnT or Toradora,but that's just me,don't take it seriously),Dokuro-chan is...meh,and probably most of the people here will agree.

Dokuro chan chapter two part zero and one are up, i shall be working on both Kns and Dokuro when i am free, for better variety hehez, less boring that way, hoping to have at least one part for each up per week.

P.S. will start on chapter two, but HolyCow seems busy, so if chapter one remains untouched after chapter two is done, i shall continue on chapter one then
