[NanoDesu]Mayo Chiki!

Post by Mystes »

Here's a novel which I would like to see being translated:
Konoe Subaru, 17, has been serving as the butler of Suzutsuki Kanade in school, a classmate of Sakamachi Kinjirou. Due to an accident, Sakamoto discovers Konoe's secret... that he's actually a girl!? Apparently she will be removed from her position if anyone at school finds out. What will unfold from this chain of events?
(From Baka-Updates)

Original title: まよチキ!

I do not know a lot, but heard about it, so if someone has read this, please tell me your feelings about it.

I'm nearly 100% sure that it is not licensed, since it's not written on Wikipedia's list.

For the raws, well, I have some Chinese volumes .txt format fan-translated from Japanese. If there's a Japanese translator, I can try finding some scans.

Wow, sure is lacking in terms of everything...

Basically, I saw the manga, though it didnt interest me enough to get the novel.

Sakamachi basically has female phobia, and nose bleeds whenever a female touches him.(Note: the reason being he is a sandbag for his sister and mother, so nose bleeds would make them stop beating him up). And one day when he visits the loo, he meets Konoe Subaru in one cubicle, only to see that "he"is wearing a cute female panty~ Konoe tries to make him forget forcefully(with force), but fails, and Suzutsuki(An extreme S) drags Sakamachi along into their little secret. It seems that Konoe, in order to be her butler, is supposed to graduate without letting anyone know that "he" is actually a female. In return, they agree to try to help Sakamachi overcome his female phobia. As Suzutsuki is an extreme S and Konoe is an extremely obedient butler, a lot of weird fun and laughs were created. Furthermore, Sakamachi's sister was eventually charmed by Konoe(Known to be male), and a lot of other combinations occur, creating a messy relationship.

Its something like this? But personally I read more of Ladies X Butlers, so I would leave this one out from my read list.
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!

Something like that. It is not the best series, but I love the character designs.

I believe the title stands for:

迷える執事とチキンな俺。
The Wandering Butler and I, the Chicken.

Chicken is a pun of the MC's name.

Personally, I haven't read very far in the novels but I adore the manga, if only for the gorgeous characters.
Konoe is...amazingly cute.

Oh, yes, the humour is pretty good. As it stands, it cannot match Baka to Test, which I will be working on next, but I may give a thought to translating it afterward.

I think its not "wandering butler", more like "wavering" or "lost"?

And baka to test has humor that is hard to come by, not much can compare against it haha. Though personally, i would think that it is slightly above the average novels, but not that special/unique? (NOTE: I have not read the actual novels, so this is all speculations!!)

Is it? I do not know if it has an official title in English, but I translated 「迷える」 directly.
「迷える」 is the conditional form of 「迷う」, 'lose your way' (literally and figuratively), but for reasons unknown to me, when appended to a noun it means 'wandering' or 'stray'. (If I am not wrong, this applies to a few other verbs as well.)

If it is wavering, I am not ready to dispute that with my horrible Japanese. It could be that 'wavering' is a result of using 「迷う」 in its figurative sense.

At any rate, yes, the novels are hardly amazing. Perfect for moe-buta like me.

Unless the story suggests otherwise specifically, I'd side with Shadow's interpretation of "mayoeru" as "wavering" or "lost."

'Wavering' would fit Konoe better. It depends on whether you take 'wandering' as literally or figuratively, the latter being something akin to: "Wandering between two choices."

That said, I like the MC of this novel.

After having watched all the anime so far, I too, would like to see this translated sooner or later. I've already read all of CSR that's out, and am waiting on the next bits of it, lol. And this would be a great series to host on the sight, seeing as people watching the anime would like to know what happens after it ends with a cliffhanger.

The story is not great, but the character design is beyond Godlike.

I have downloaded the anime (what's released of it so far), and if it's good, I am willing to look into translating the novels since butting into projects that are already established seems to be somewhat complicated. The earliest that can happen is in December, though.


Edit: I watched two episodes and I really like the character designs and while I haven't watched enough to grasp the storyline, I think it will be to my liking. Very promising indeed.
And I really like the name Kanade... Oh how I wish Angel Beats was longer.
