ok... well, i've finished *reading* volume 1 and will be going onto vol2... i'll try to have a feel if it's *easier* to translate than the TD spin-off... if i think i can do better with this, i'll probably work on it and be able to say whether i can commit to it or not... since it is only 2 books...

what i can say is that *reading* is definitely different from translating... if you were in the same country as me, i can pass you my books once i'm done with them... although i'd probably want them back once the translation is completed... just to complete my collection... :D

A project requires a translator that volunteers to take it up, and more than a chapter before it gets approved. And from what i heard, watashi tachi no tamura kun is a good novel, I would give it a try if i ever find it somewhere.

Firstly, I would say I am indeed from Singapore, but I wouldn't wanna borrow it from you~

Give a man a fish, and he would eat a day, teach him how to fish, and he can eat for life.

Similarly, where did you get them? Rather, what language is it in? I can't read Japanese, sadly... I have to rely on Chinese...
God!!
You need not forgive me.
For those I love,
The violence brought about by sinful men
Shall now be used once more.
If you were created to save this world,
If there is a single shred of hope left for the future of mankind,
I am very sorry, but, please begone!

haha... yeah, i know what you mean...

i bought them from kinokuniya... it's the japanese version... the only chinese versions i saw there were the manga, not the light novels...
i read the books on the bus to/from work... i carry a dictionary and basically read very very very very slowly... my only complain is that the words in the books are tiny, and the furiganas are even tinier...

on a side note, i saw some interesting older books recently at kino... they even have furigana for katakana!!!

It's nice to see there is some interest in continuing the translation of this cute romance (light) novel. I look forward to the next installment.
Many thanks and best of luck with the translation! :)

I've got the book in my (unread) pile of Japanese stuff to process, but I have my hands full working on Golden Time and Toradora Spinoff 2. The other guys who did the Toradora series (Kinny Riddle, Dragonst, et al) seem to have burnt themselves out on Takemiya, though to be fair, they really put forth an effort there, getting all ten of those books translated. Towards the end, though, it seemed like they needed a fair amount of encouragement...

The interest is there. The time is not. At least for me.

I've read the manga but the ending wasn't exactly satisfying so I want to read the novel to. And even if the ending is the same still the novel always has more details and it's better then any adaptation.

Sounds like how I discovered B-T in the first place. I restarted my studies of the Japanese language in early 2008, which led me to anime and manga. Something I read led me to the Toradora anime. Liking that, I looked for and found the manga adaptations, which were and remain very incomplete. Then reading the public Wiki one day in the fall of 2009, I noticed that the story had originally been published as something called a Light Novel. Searching on that led me to B-T.

Whatever media you're talking about, the original form is usually the best, though there are some people out there who are really good at embellishing a movie into a book (and a lot of people who aren't so good at it :roll: )
