ばか！バカ！　馬鹿ー月！

This is the feedback thread for http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index ... Keishousha

Let us know what you think of the project.

First reaction was "'Swordies' is 'terribad'.". But given the 'Swordia' and similar terminology it doesn't look like you can actually make it sound something a little more elegant in English like 'Wielders'.

Other then that, looks interesting, especially given the genre tags on baka-updates.

Omg I love this series dearly but I hate the terms so much ("dirty little Swordies"), makes me want to quit translating but Sefi is so cute <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Omg I think im pulling a Seitsuki here but over Sefi.

Swordie is the furigana given. I know it's super bad and awkward but there's nothing we can do about it except shake our fists at the author for coming up with a terrible, terrible name.

Yeah, I figured that was the case.

I can see how it could be formed, since it's a diminutive and sounds 'cute'. Which means it might cause problems whenever there's 'dramatic' text involving it.

I wonder if it's worth using "translator's fiat" and 'fixing' it. What Kanji is it highlighting? Maybe just using the romaji of that (or even an English translation) instead will fulfil the 'exoticness' quota that the 'swordies' term was supposed to represent in the original Japanese.

It's not as if this situation is a unique case here. Kadi (if I remember correctly) is still planning on going on a rampage and fixing where Campione! uses 'miko' to reference western-witches for instance.

ok,i like that main heroine blond BUT there is just one thing i'd like to ask..............
[WHYYYY!!!...fk everything......in any case,there is one thing i can say with absolute confidence....the Harem+Ecchiness here is EXTREMELY similar to campione's.....yea..............................................................................................................-sobs- damnit....well,i like campione a lot so i might like this but as u people know...my drive for main heroines are exceptional...and..and....damnit color illustrations!!!!!that **** with the wing hairclip who seems to be the main love rival...her name's rinne..theres that sakurai hinako maid-chan..and...Sefi my looove <3 sooo damn adorable..i just wanna kidnap her and abuse her.....
p.s.-->i am into busty blondes]

You should change "Sefi" to "Sefie" in accordance to the rest of the novel.

Having now actually looked at the Japanese version I see what you mean.

Maybe just drop the 'e' for 'Swordi'? It looks less like it's trying to be English then so doesn't (well to me at least) come off as ugly.

hahahaha read the manga and cracked up on "swordies". well it supposed to be a demeaning name to the people of swordia and i think it serves its purpose. Keep up the translation because i like the mc and it has potential for now :3

I think it's for the best since 'swordie' sounds cute and would be out-of-place in dramatic situations.
For me, 'swordian' sounds better.

Totally agree with you on that point.

I'm really looking forward to this one the manga really stimulated my interest.

Try refreshing the teaser list now. I at least have found it not long ago. And just in case it still doesn't appear, for whatever reason, you can still manually add it. Just put "Kenshin_no_Keishousha" in the page section and write "Kenshin no Keishousha" as the title.
