HOORAY!!
It took the slowpoke(ShadowZeroHeart, a.k.a me) more than a month just for this!
Darn I wish he works faster!
Well, blame the novels i read, the animes i watch, the manga i collect, the games i play, and the times i sleep for that!
It is not my fault! it is the sleepiness, the temptations of these entertainments that made me take so long!!
Oh yeah, add school to that too!

Anyways, it finally ended! Book 1! Worship me! The only translator for the series atm! just joking... haha
anyways, I am really happy i finally pulled through to the end of book 1! one more book until i stop for this series, unless the chinese version of the novel comes out (and at the store i visit) anyways! Hope you all enjoy the novel (and dont mind my translations)!

And I hope there will be less stalled projects from now =X

*Sigh... there is still dokuro chan...*

P.S. there is something i dont get, Kazuma is known as the first person known to have made a contract with a spirit lord... then what about the first chief of the Kannagi family? I mean, everyone seems to know that the first chief got Enraiha from the lord of fire spirits... so wont he be the first instead?

Edit: Oh and one more thing, i forgot, is the author's note a must for the novel?

whoo hoo! so I'm off to read the whole update since the 25% of chapter....6 i think it was....well, good news for you bad news for me is that after you finish volume 2, you can move onto one other project, such as dokoro, as there's nothing left for KnS..../cry.
=) me<--- looks forward to more ^_^

It is not exactly bad news, unless the publisher decides to stop KnS...
As long as i can get my hands on future novels, as long as i have the time too, i will translate them, since i am currently the only translator for it... so... Pray hard that they publish new volumes and make them available for me =X Who knows how long it will take, but at least there is (some, if any) hope. (perhaps?)

Of course, it would be best if someone translates the jap raws ^^
Just dont count on me for that, i cant understand jap.

I tried editing the first part of chapter 6 for the fun of it and might do the other three parts. You can check it out and I would appreciate the feedback.

As described in Chapter 6, there are at least several supposed Contractors, including the first chief of the Kannagi. The distinction, however, is that they are allegedly Contractors (according to legend), whereas Kazuma is a confirmed Contractor.

If the first chief of the Kannagi is only "allegedly" contractors, the Kannagis are way too arrogant and the Enraiha might be fake? Since no first chief=no fire spirit lord= no Enraiha? ^^" Isnt that a little... erm... funny?

Thanks Shadow ^_^

I finally got time to read it, and it was also touched up perfectly by that editor...Yay for whoever that was ^_^

Ah...it was so nice....

Here is my current "wish-list" if you will, in order ^_^ (sorry =))

1. Spice and Wolf (2 Chinese Translators)
2. Toradora! (No translators registered to be working)
3. Zero no Tsukaima (lots of people came and went, but it seems to have translators)
4. Kaze no Stigma (Shadow ftw ^_^)
5. Inukami (hmmm...me in the future? eh....)
6. Shakugan no Shana (Shadow ftw ^_^)
7. I don't really have another novel I'm too interested in that is "in-progress (then again Inukami isn't either...) so let's put Dokuro-chan here ^_^ (Hey, if you really want to, go for it! PS loved the Shakugan no Shana prologe in the other forum)

So for me personally, I'm all ready for more Toradora!, but no ones on it...sigh. And your busy with KnS, SnS, Dokuro, etc....how do you do it! :shock:

Yeah...anyway, whatever you decide to do, I look forward to reading it =)

WAIT A MINUTE!!!
SINCE WHEN DID TORA DORA STOP???

Anyways, currently i am working on stalled/new projects, since that lets me do it reeeeeeeeal slow...
So currently it is KnS and SnS only... and school is starting, so i am slowing down until i can get used to sch...

And, for the kind Editor that touched it up!! PLEASE SOUND OFF!!

Wolf and Spice is off my translation list for now, since i havent read it, despite me having the books at one corner
(too many novels atm)

ZnT i have only obtained till book 4, and the translation is way faster than i can translate it anyways, so i shall leave it to them...

KnS, vol 3 is almost out ^^ (good for me as i can read it, bad for me as it increases my workload)

Inukami 9 is almost out, and yes it is about Keita, will tell you about it later...

And i believe greatly that i can handle only 1/2 projects at a slow rate with sch on me, so i am doing KnS and SnS if no other translators are available... If there are, then i may move to other projects @@

Well, we don't need to worry about Inukami too much anymore ^_^

Volume 1 of Inukami is scheduled for Release in October of this year ^_^. I'll just start reading from there =).

This means one last call! if we are to start, we better finish book one before the release! I dont wanna have to have to pick up the job if they stop at book 3 or something...(like Viz with SnS!)
