I know that. Translating is pretty time-consuming.

Kira, you forgot to translate the text before chapter 1...I added the prologue there.

And to anyone else interested in this series, do note that Chinese fan translations for this have been taken down as they are licensed, so this project requires either J>E translators, or people who bought the official Chinese translations. (Taiwan or China. For Singaporean and Malaysians, Taiwan from Kinokuniya, and China from...Popular Bookstore, of all places. The China one is like 50% cheaper, or SG4.50-$5.00)

PS: I did my research on the prices and stuff. Of course, I'm using the Japanese LNs, but they only stock up 5 copies of each volume from what I can hear from the staff. This is ranked 22nd in the last Kono Sugoi, so this might break top 20 next year.

Oh dang, true. I think it was classified with the novel illustrations back then, so I didn't bother looking at it.

And BTW, Ping. I managed to...dig out some fan-trans...

Also, this series is more false-harem-like and less depressing than Book Girl. Though at the same time, Book Girl was god-tier, so I don't expect that much.

is there any chance that this series will be taken up by anyone? From the translation-bits I've read here and there in this thread, it seems fairly interesting and somewhat funnier / more lighthearted compared to bungaku shoujo.
I hope this doesn't appear as me begging, I'm just a little curious about it.

oh, and thanks for the release of the prologue
hahhh~ life's good

Actually, the characters in here are all based on the Tale of Genji. Anyone who read that Tale of Genji, start praying, because the harem exploded in volume 5.

If I do come back, this series will be first priority.

If I were a reader, I'll demand more of this too...though there may be darker undertones in this story than bungaku shoujo. Knowing the author, I'm guessing the harem will be wittled down to one...

I believe there might be an anime of this sometime down the road, because there was a drama CD of this released in June.

Read through volume 6...
Spoiler! :
THE PRESIDENT GOT CONQUERED!!!
Anyway, looking at the author notes, the series is now heading into its last phase, so I'm guessing 10 volumes for this series. The series already got darker after volume 4 (Taiwanese books are out, I checked), but the darker undertones are now becoming overtones.

Consider the English translation of this series official on BT.

From the Chinese fan translation of the afterwords volume 6 was the halfway point so 6 more volumes. I hope it is as there are enough materials from Genji Monogatari for 6 more volumes.


This is a highly addictive reading, spent 4 hours in the middle of the night to read through volume 6.

From what I read, it's actually entering the final phase, not going into the second half. I'm guessing 10 volumes of this.

Next volume is slated to be sold in March, Utsusemi.

I got the entire volume translated, but only the first 3 chapters are edited, as you can see on the BT wiki. Just started on Yugao two days ago.

(incomplete)Aoi RAW chapters:

Btw, as much as I want to see this as a project on the sidebar, it fails the conditions because there's no registration page... :lol:

Hanachirusato (花散里) will be out on August 25th (next month), and
Spoiler! :
The featured character will be the class rep.

It's me or the volume names are in the same pattern of Genji Monogatari?
Spoiler! :
For me the following names:

Aoi

Yugao

Hanachirusato

Asagao (if not wrong his cousin)

Waka Murasaki

Utsusemi

are all part of Genji Monogatari. Just asking for curiosit.
