What are you guy's doing...? You should delete the first body of text and keep the second body of text since its much more clearer. And shouldn't this be 13% or 3% complete instead of 33%? -[[User:Hiro Hayase|Hiro Hayase]] 13:35, 25 February 2012 (CST)

There are a few questions that I have.

1. I saw that Akuma was removed from the list from this chapter. Does s/he know that?
2. Was Code-Zero contacted? Since he only wants Japanese direct translations...

I'm trying to find out as well. Since all new translators should contact him first. I'll tell you if I get a reply back. -[[User:Hiro Hayase|Hiro Hayase]] 14:08, 25 February 2012 (CST)

I did the editing only on the first text since I don't have the original work and I can't read Japanese so I worked with what I had. I only edited it to be gramaticaly correct. I agree that the second version is a more clear

I don't know anything about Thai, but this is clearly adapted from the English summaries at Animesuki.
Which is a useful source, but when you keep exact sentences from a summary, it means details are lost and it's not a full translation. -- 25 February 2012

That's completely irrelevant, the case is, that if you want to translate a chapter for a certain project, you have to follow few rules, such as contacting a person in charge of project, namely in this case - Code-Zero, for guidance and stuff, i know that Code-Zero asked any translator on this project, to take WHOLE volume on himself, if one wants to start translating this project. Contact Code-Zero, ask for his permission and pick one ENTIRE volume for yourself to translate, this one was picked up by Akuma, so... You can leave tls, akuma might use those as a reference. --[[User:Krytyk|Krytyk]] 16:18, 25 February 2012 (CST)

Alright who tf is doing this without any permission? First for life 1 now for life 2? If it's a summary then link it to the forums not on the translation page( I am interested in the summary myself). To answer a few questions, Code-Zero contacted me just now; I am still working on volume 4, possibly Code-Zero may pitch in someday if things are way too slow. But that's it, no one else. I have seen the TLs of this life that were posted before, dunno how that was 33% but that doesn't deserve to be here. -[[User:Akuma|Akuma]] 26 February 2012, at 02:33.

(T/N: The closest term would be paper mache but it means something made of paper and clay and glue. The exact meaning is unknown but that's what I got from googling.)

Made of paper and clay and glue? Is it something like 纸粘土?
I don't think you can split the kanji literally.
Besides, paper mache is way too messy and not something that can be "kneaded" or casually handed out as an "object."
I would propose plasticine or modeling clay as an alternative. -- 3 March 2012
