Well, I guess 'tis one of those times when ya read a novel and you become unable to tear yourself away because you just love the story. Doesn't happen often with me, but when it does its hard to get away xD

In one week, it will be Christmas vacations. And I'll finally be able to translate.

Looking forward to that - In case you need any particular help on this one I'd be glad to assist. I am fairly confident in my english so I could at least try and read through it to check if there is need for any minor edits.

It's fine. Now that I finally found the RAWs in Japanese, I could start translating more accuratebly.
BTW, do you guys want me to add -san, -kun, -chan, or whatever?

I dunno about other people but personally I like having keeping the honorifics in translations. It kinda feels weird to see japanese names without the usual honorifics. Guess its up to you.

I know that in the official English LNs, there aren't. I'll stick with them, but don't get angry if you see one or two missing in a chapter.

Yet only Taiwan releases get into Kino....Doraneko wrote:Well China does have official light novel localizations.Occasionally its releases are even faster than its counterpart across the strait. The ~50% cheaper price tag is another significant bonus.ShadowZeroHeart wrote:China isn't the one doing the official books, but Taiwan I believe?
Comparison of the China and Taiwan releases:

And they are thicker, more cumbersome and more ex than the originals WTF
Not that I can read them anyway....

And I'll have 3 of Nomura's books, Bungaku Shoujo, by the end of the week, if Amazon Canada is quick enough. Hope that I'll have less difficulties translating after...

Yeah. Generally, professionals translate better than us, I think.

Well, 'tis their job so I cannot argue with what you say. Though the dedication thats needed to do such a translation as a fan yields very nice results in my opinion.Kira0802 wrote:Yeah. Generally, professionals translate better than us, I think.
