High School DxD

Post by greensoulreaper »

Here is a light novel that recently caught my attention. Based on the translated prologue of vol. 1 (click show spoiler below), this sounds like it might be a fun read in my opinion, but it doesn't look like it'll get any attention until the anime gets out or if the manga gets translated, so I want to do the honor of at least making people aware of this LN. Maybe it'll get enough interest worthy of a translation project.

Translation of volume 1 prologue by n0m@n at animetsuki:
Spoiler! :
Life 0

Isei Hyoudou is my name. My parents and friends call me Ise. I’m currently experiencing my time of youth. Students that I’m not familiar with would often say “Isn’t that Ise?”, and makes me wonder how they know my name. Popular you say? No, that’s not it. I’m so famous that I have been accused of peeping into the Kendo Club changing room. What kind of perverted person do people think I am? I wouldn’t do such a shameless thing such as peeping into girls changing room.......Sorry. I was at the scene. I was in the storage room next to the kendo club. There was a hole in the wall, where I was trying to peep from. Unfortunately I couldn’t have a look because Matsuda and Motohama wouldn’t get away from the hole. Seriously those guys... I was seriously getting horny and couldn’t calm myself because the two idiots were keeping on saying, “Ohhh! Murayama has serious big tits!” and “Ahhh, Katase has a nice leg”. Offcourse I wanted to have a look! But there were someone who was approaching the storage room so I ran from the scene.

But something so joyful happened to a guy like me, who would be doing all sorts of naughty stuff every day. “Please go out with me”. A confession from a girl! I felt what it was like to be a youth. For a guy like me who never had a girlfriend, that was like a dream come true. The name of my girlfriend is Yuuma Amano. She has a silky black hair, and a slender body. She is so cute that I fallen in love with her at first sight. Anyone would say yes if some beauty came up to you and say “I love you Hyoudou-kun! Please go out with me!” That would be like a dream of a dream for a guy like me who didn’t have a girlfriend since I was born. It wouldn’t be weird if someone says “What bishoujo game you got that from?”, but it seriously happened! It’s a miracle but I did get confesses from a beauty. I actually thought it was a joke played by her and her friends. That can’t be helped. Until then, I believed that I was born is a guy who was destined not to be loved by girls. But since that day I was a guy with a girlfriend. The world around me changed, and something inside me changed is well. I wanted to say “It’s my win” to every guy I walked past. I started to feel sorry for my two buddies, Matsuda and Motohama who didn’t have a girlfriend. That’s how confident I became.

On our first date, I was ready for using the plan that I made a while back. Hahahaha, I’ve been brushing my teeth’s a dozen of time since yesterday night and there is not a single place I missed. I even brought new pants because you can’t tell what’s going to happen. With an attitude of a virgin guy, I arrived at the dating spot three hours earlier. I counted up to hundred girls who were wearing glasses walked front of me. During that time I received a weird article from a suspicious looking person. It was a weird occult looking thing which had a weird magic symbols and and there was a sentence written: “Your dream will be granted!”. I wanted to throw at away, but I decided to put it in my pocket because I didn’t have a time to spare. When Yuna-chan arrived, I said “Don’t worry, I also arrived now is well”. Bullseye! I always wanted to say that. We then started to walk while holding hands. I was so moved that tears were about to drop because I was holding a hand of a beautiful girl while on a date. After that, we went to different kinds of shop and were enjoying our date. For lunch, we ate at Family restaurant where Yuma-chan was eating chocolate parfait, and I was full just by looking at her. I felt like I understand how other teenage feel when they go on a date. I felt like I was alive for the first time. Mum, thanks for giving birth to me. Dad, I was worried that our family wasn’t going to leave any descendants but looks like you don’t to have worry about that anymore. When I was think of all those sorts of thing, it was already afternoon. Kiss!? Kiss before going home!? My head was getting hyped only thinking about that! Oh maybe we will even go further......... That’s what a horny male high school student like me was thinking about the whole time.

We were at the park which was away from the town. The sky was getting dark, and there were no one besides us. Because of that, I imagined even more perverted stuff. I should have read a book which teaches you to do even more naughty stuff. Yuma-chan was already away from me, where she was standing before the fountain.
“It was fun today.”
Thats what she said while she was smiling. Damn, she’s cute. The environment around her gives of good atmosphere.
“Hey, Ise-kun.”
“What is it Yuma-chan?”
“There is something I want to do for celebrating our first date.”
Oh yes! It’s here! The moment I was waiting for! My breath smells nice, and my heart is ready for it. My heart is racing like crazy.
“Um, what is it that you want?”
Aaaah. The tone of my voice is deep. She must think that I’m thinking of naughty stuff. Did I screw it? But Yuma-chan is still smiling to me, and she said to me clearly...
“Will you die.”
........Ummm. Huh?
“Ummm? That....Huh? Sorry can you repeat that again? I think there is something wrong with my ears.”
I must have heard it wrong. That must be it. So I asked her again. But.....
“Will you die.”
She said it again, while laughing. The phrase which didn’t make any sense. I was there holding my smile and I was about to say, “That’s so funny Yuma-chan.”
Basa. A black wing appeared from her back. Her black wings were making noises and it touched to ground after a moment. What is that? I know that Yuma-chan is cute like an angel. Angel? That can’t be it. Is it some kind of acting? Her black wings make a good match with the darkness of night. It must be some kind of a illusion. But I wouldn’t believe something like that. Her eyes changed from a cute girlish eye to a cold and scary one.
“It was fun. The short time I spent with you. It was like playing a couple with a little child.”
Yuma-chan’s voice was very cold. Her tone was like an adult. Her mouth was giving a cold smile.
Buzz. There was a sound which was much heavier than the noise that game system makes. That thing was making lots of buzzing noise and it appeared in her hands. That thing looks like a spear. Is it glowing? Actually, that is a spear.
Then there was a sound of the wind followed by a nasty noise. Slash. Something felt like it pierced my stomach. Then I realized that the spear Yuma-chan had was piercing through my stomach. She threw it into me, but why? I tried to get the spear out of me, but it disappeared. The only thing left was a huge hole in my stomach and the huge amount of blood coming out from it. My head was getting dizzy, and my eyesight was getting bad. When I realized it, I was already lying on the ground. There was a footstep getting close to me. The small voice reached to me, which was from Yuma-chan.
“Sorry. You were a threat to us so we decided to get rid of you early. If you want to hold a grudge, then hate the God who put the Sacred Gear inside you.”
.....Sacred..what?
I couldn’t get my voice out and I heard her footstep getting far away from me. At the same time my head was getting blurry. The hole in my stomach must be critical, though I don’t feel any pain. But I realized that I’m in a serious bad condition because I felt that I was about to lose conscious. It must feel nice if I lose conscious. But if that happens I will certainly die. Are you serious? Am I going to die at this age? I haven’t even lived half of my life yet! How can I laugh if I die because I was stabbed by my girlfriend! Lots of things inside me are disappearing along with my conscious. What’s going to happen at school tomorrow? Will Matsuda and Motohama get shocked? Will they cry for me? Ha-ha, not in hundred year.. Mum, Dad... I haven’t done anything to please them yet. Oh crap.It’s not going to be funny if they find the porno magazine after I die. Why the heck am I only thinking of that kind of stuff when I’m dying? My hand can still move. I touched my stomach and brought it front of me. It’s red, crimson red. M whole hand is red. It’s all my blood. Then I thought of this one girl. The beautiful girl with the crimson red hair. Every time I saw her, my eyes were drawn to her crimson red hair. If I was going to die, I wished it was inside the arms of beautiful girl like that. Am I a cheating on my girlfriend Yuma-chan, if I think like that? Hold on, she was the one who killed me...If I was going to die, I wished I could have groped her tits. Oh man, I can’t stop thinking about naughty stuff even before my death. Oh crap. My eyes are getting even more blurry. Is it finally the end? Damn I had a crap life. If I was to be reborn, I want to be....
“You are the one who called me right.”
Suddenly someone appeared front of me along with her voice. I can’t tell who it is, since my eyes are blurry.
“Looks like you are dying. Your wound....Oh my looks like something interesting is happening. So it’s you.. It is seriously interesting.”
She’s laughing as if she found something interesting. What is it so funny that makes her laugh..?
“If you are dying then, I’ll take care of you. Your life will belong to me, and you will live for me.”
Before I lost my conscious, I saw a crimson red hair front of me.
I'm pretty sure this light novel has not been licensed for an English release yet, however, I only know this by using good old google and some surfing on the web.

I really hope that this gets translated. I have only been able to find the prologue and chapter 1 translated. I have been searching everywhere. I found some translations but they are machine translated and they make no sense. I have been dying to find out what happens in this story. :(

New Project: Highschool DxD

Post by Code Zero »

Hi,
I would like to start a new project baka-tsuki, Highschool DxD. It would adapted into anime soon, so I was hoping to cover the first 3 volumes. I have the raw version in Japanese up to 10, which is the latest one. I have translated the prolog and the first chapter of volume 1. I did it for fun at animesuki, but I would like to start a new project here at baka-tsuki.

Here's the translation for the prolog.

Prolog

Can any of the mod or translator check this? Also how do you make a poll?

You should create an account here on the wiki, and preferably on the forums as well (with the same name if possible).
Are you new to wiki edit? It's advisable to learn; it's not really difficult. Just click edit on the pages to see how the code looks like.
You should also read this page:
http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index ... _guideline

What you need to get started is to create a project page (just see the others for examples) and mark your page as a teaser page till it gets approved. If you need assistance, let us know.


P.S: Can a super mod merge this with this thread:

And what kind of poll do you want to make? You probably can make one once you are registered, provided its a new thread, so it depends on the topic/reason.

As for the checking of prologue, anyone has read the book before to check it?

Right at the bottom there is a quick mod tool? Or do you not have it? That, and having to find the topic is one big pain in the @ss. If there is a faster way to locate the thread to merge with, lemme know.

Larethian, how do I actually make the light novel section of "High school DxD"?
I checked the site you suggested and it seems that I need a confirmation from a wiki-supervisor, which seems like I already have.
Also there seems to be in error of making the account in this site because I'm not receiving any activation e-mail, which I already re-sended couple of times.
