Re: Rental Magica by Makoto Sanda
ordering through kino is better. You save on shipping costs. Plus, there's that 10% (20% if you can wait for the school holidays) discount for members.

Re: Rental Magica by Makoto Sanda
Take the MRT to Orchard, then head towards Takashimaya. Go to third floor, the biggest Kinokuniya store in Singapore(heard there is another one now, not sure which is bigger) is there, with a good variety.Akirina wrote: Understood.

Re: Rental Magica by Makoto Sanda
Thanks for the suggestions
Well, I'm really more of a 'shut in' person. I can safely say that I haven't been to takashimaya or kinokuniya at all. >< See how much of an introvert I am?

You must be really young. And your personality type makes the most prolific translators, so we don't really mind.Akirina wrote:Thanks for the suggestionsWell, I'm really more of a 'shut in' person.

But if you can fork out $50 at one go, you can order online and delivery will be free (and you can pay in cash if you don't have a credit card).
And SZH, is there a new Kino? There are only 3 branches here:
1. Orchard (main and largest)
2. Liang Court (if one can't find a Japanese volume in Orchard, Liang Court may have it, it's pretty well stocked in Japanese stuff since many Japanese stays in Novotel there)
3. Bugis (pathetic)

Re: Rental Magica by Makoto Sanda
Bugis is pathetic, and I frequent the Orchard one until only not too long back I heard of the one in Liang Court. Still haven't been to that one yet... Sorry, I am really more of a 'shut in' person, so Liang Court seems 'new' to me!larethian wrote:You must be really young.

But seriously, you need to aim to become a Riajuu with Otaku hobbies (do your best!)
. Kinokuniya is your friend.

Re: Rental Magica by Makoto Sanda
Yes, under 18. I'm planning to drag my friend there after exams in november. Think we'll go to Orchard. We'll see in a few years' time if I become an otaku ;P lolShadowZeroHeart wrote:Bugis is pathetic, and I frequent the Orchard one until only not too long back I heard of the one in Liang Court.

Thank you! It really means so much to me, it's the first LN I encountered and read, after having watched the anime.Akirina wrote:Volume 1 is completed. (8 years after it was released)
I already uploaded the Full text Volume 1 page, and noticed that the older chapters have the TOCyears template.
Would you rather have that or the normal one?

Re: Rental Magica: General
Is there a difference? It doesn't really matter to me so you can insert the template if you want (whatever it is for).
I have no preferences.

Re: Rental Magica: General
Is anyone able to put up the novel illustrations? Prologue for volume 2 is up. I'm aware that there might be some discrepancies in the translation I did because my terminology page is still in construction...

Re: Rental Magica: General
I'm creating a terminology page on BT wiki, is it alright? The structure is very much based on DDYD's terminology page, though (because that's the only other project I was working on that had a terminology page)... I thought it'd be easier for all editors and future translators to refer to it.Crowley Touma wrote:Not a problem here, if you want to make large scale changes to the terms, let us readers/editors help you.

Re: Rental Magica: General
It seems you need to upload the rest of the illustration yourself, since the uploaded illustrations is only this much http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index ... t=&offset=Akirina wrote:Is anyone able to put up the novel illustrations?
