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.

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.

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?

I was the same, until I just had to get my hands on more reading materials. So join in, open your wallet... i meant open your mind. Everyone has to start somewhere.

You must be really young. And your personality type makes the most prolific translators, so we don't really mind. :lol: But seriously, you need to aim to become a Riajuu with Otaku hobbies (do your best!) :D. Kinokuniya is your friend. :D

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)

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!

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 lol

Thank you! It really means so much to me, it's the first LN I encountered and read, after having watched the anime.
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?

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.

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...

I too was wondering about that.

Not a problem here, if you want to make large scale changes to the terms, let us readers/editors help you.

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.

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=
