=== Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu & Dai Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu ===
Thank you for translating this. I really appreciate it.

Thank you!
Akirina you are the best! Thanks for DenyuuDen and Dai DenyuuDen

Finally someone decided to do the series about real plot and not another school-level essay about tits. Gracias, Motherland won't forget u.

Sooooo many thanks for translating Densetsu & Dai Densetsu..., i keep an eye on updates and your efforts are truly appreciated.

Densetsu! Densetsu! Hooray! Also should anyone ask for a "full text" to the 3rd volume? Or was it left like this intentionally.

Thx for DYD series "[[User:Laxarus|Laxarus]] ([[User talk:Laxarus|talk]]) 17:30, 14 April 2013 (CDT)"

Thanks for translating DDYD. I was wondering how chapter 3 and 4 of volume 7 of DDYD are coming, since I don't want to read v8 until I finish v7. --[[User:AnimeFan9001|AnimeFan9001]] ([[User talk:AnimeFan9001|talk]]) 23:38, 28 April 2014 (CDT)

Thank you for translating DYD!

=== Rental Magica ===
Thank you for contemplating and registering for a chapter of Rental Magica. Do you mean to do just this one or to complete the first volume? Anyway, I'll gladly help you if you need it. [[User:Crowley Touma|Crowley Touma]] ([[User talk:Crowley Touma|talk]]) 03:51, 9 September 2012 (CDT)

I'm planning to complete the first volume. Might plan to take on this as well, but might need some planning because I'm taking on DYD and DDYD at the same time. Going to put Chapter 7 up today.

I would like to inquire. Will you be translating the other volumes too? [[User:Spade138|Spade138]] ([[User talk:Spade138|talk]]) 14:18, 16 August 2013 (CDT)

Thank you for translating the rest of Volume 1, and its great that you've also started Volume 2. I hope you keep at it. Anyway, just a suggestion, but you ought to look at the wikipedia page to double-check the characters' names and MORE IMPORTANTLY the wikipedia page on the Goetic demons for their names (for example, it's ELIGOR not ELIGOL; if that's not you mistake, I apologize). Again, I hope to see more releases of Rental Magica in the future. Anonymous 17:20 20 August 2013 (UTC)

== Rental Magica as well ==

Quite a few years ago, I watched the Rental Magica anime. Was really, really good, and I was disappointed it ended without continuing onward. And at the time no one had translated any of the novels, and no one seemed to have any interest in it. I honestly figured I would never get to see more of the story, and finding out that someone had started translating the novels made me really happy. I really, really hope that you keep up the good work, being able to read Rental Magica is really encouraging for me. Thank you for your time on it already. :)

on the reg page it's shown that you've completed v2c1 but the page is empty!

== Kurenai ==

Who should I contact to join the Kurenai project as a translator?

--[[User:Shadowys|Shadowys]] ([[User talk:Shadowys|talk]]) 01:11, 14 January 2015 (CST)

== Dantalian no Shoka ==

Thanks very much for your great efforts to translate it so well!! Though I'm a Chinese and the original edition of the novel is Chinese as well(i mean the previous edition that you translated from), I prefer reading your works and I'm fascinated by it so much that I can't stop reading! But I found that there are many missing pages. The index is complete but those corresponding chapters can't be found.(and the word's color is red) I and my classmates who want to improve their English by reading their loving Dantalian no Shoka are really eager to read the second and third volumes! So I wonder when you will begin translating them......We are looking forward to reading your works as soon as possible! Ah~ Dalian is really really lovely and charming!!!

Hey I am Just curious is Densetsu no Yūsha no Densetsu Volume 9.10 and 11 going to be translated anytime soon? And also what about volume 10, 11, 12, 13 and so on in the sequel? If none working on them at the moment? Just curious cause great novel to read.

=== '''Questions and Answers''' ===

'''1. Are you working on the light novels or the web novels? What's the difference?'''

I'm working from the Chinese translations of the light novels. The web novels were published before the light novels, but the light novels contain more content in terms of character development and extra scenes. In addition, some lines in the web novels were toned down in the light novels. (And there's more fanservice in the light novels.)

'''2. Hey, dude, the chapters are out of order! Why did you translate Chapter Y before Chapter X?'''

Simply put, because someone signed up to do Chapter X before I did. Translators work at different speeds, so some chapters may come out ahead of the others. Everyone works at their own pace, so give them some time.

'''3. So when's your next chapter coming out?'''

If I got a dollar every time someone asked me this, I would be able to do this for a living. Click on the User Page tab on the top left corner and you will find my progression on the latest chapter as well as a ''rough'' estimate on when the chapter will be complete. And, no, it has been scientifically proven that asking me to work faster/harder does not improve translation speed. I am working off of PST in California, so do take that into account when looking for the new chapter on my update days.

'''4. Are you going to translate all the volumes?'''

Until otherwise stated, yes.

'''5. I got the chapter summaries from somewhere else, may I post them in the forums?'''

Please don't. Last I heard, the chapter summaries flying everywhere absolutely killed all motivation for the translators. So...... Please don't. Please.

'''6. I want to join the project, where do I sign up?'''

I don't have the power to actually grant that since I am not the project leader for MKnR, larenthian is. If you are interested in joining the project, drop by the Feedback Thread to let larenthian and Seitsuki know. Following that, inscribe your name onto the [[Mahouka_Koukou_no_Rettousei:Registration_Page|Registration]] page next to which chapter you would like to work on. I will '''not''' provide RAWs, so do not ask.

'''7. I have more questions that you haven't answered here!'''

Drop me a line in the comments section below. If I can't answer it, go ahead and take it to the Feedback Thread on the forums.

=== '''Comments'''===
Hey Dreyakis! Thanks again for the awesome work. I know you do these translations for fun, but I wanted to ask: would it be okay to send you and some of the other translators/editors on this project a few gift cards or something? Without the Mahouka translators and editors many of us would simply be unable to enjoy a lot of these foreign works. You guys have worked really hard on these translations and I'd love to chance to thank you guys for the awesome job on Mahouka. [[User:D4mi3n|d4mi3n]] ([[User talk:D4mi3n|talk]])

:While I do appreciate the sentiment, we translators are ultimately just that: translators. We do not own the rights to the material and thus should not and cannot receive any profit or benefit from the translations. I am very happy to be able to work on Mahouka and bring it over to an audience that previously was unable to read this, but I will have to turn you down. In fact, the best thing you can do to thank us is to head on over to the Appreciation Thread in the Mahouka forums and tell us. [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] ([[User talk:Dreyakis#top|talk]]) 19:38, 7 December 2013 (CST)

::I figured as much, and I totally understand. I would have definitely bought Mahouka myself if it was available in English. That being said, thanks again! --[[User:D4mi3n|d4mi3n]] ([[User talk:D4mi3n|talk]]) 23:38, 7 December 2013 (CST)

:::It is always my pleasure to serve. [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] ([[User talk:Dreyakis#top|talk]]) 01:18, 8 December 2013 (CST)

do you know why these chapters seem shorter than the others?

:Format changes between volume to volume. For example, Volume 8 also had a high count of shorter chapters. [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] ([[User talk:Dreyakis#top|talk]]) 23:30, 8 December 2013 (CST)

How do you measure your progress (as in (82/96))? As it is obviously not percent, is it lines (I doubt that), paragraphs, pages or something different?

Hello, Drey! You are doing a new project what is it? Will you continue Mahouka as well? [[User:Ulrick|Ulrick]] 24/05/2014

So you're doing one of the Fate series huh? Sounds nice but I still have to ask are you going to be working on Mahouka volume 13? Because it's been out for a while. Though I do recall mention of this being the series first release of the volume as an actual book first rather than it being updated as a webseries first and how that would somehow effect the speed of the translation but still I'd like to know if you are working on it or could give a rough estimate on when you might be planning on working on it

Hi Dreyakis, I would like to inform you that I'm creating audio versions of your translated work on Mahouka for Baka-Tsuki.
If you would prefer that audio books not be created using your translated work please contact me when possible. [[User:SilentNumber|SilentNumber]] 3:23, 16 July 2014 (CDT)

Hi Dreyakis, now that Yen Press has licensed the series, do you plan on continuing the translation? Like finishing V14 and keep on going from there and posting somewhere else? If so, where can we find it?

Hey man I know you put in all this work to Translate and now Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei has been licensed. Now we won't be able to keep re-reading the light novels until they release the Volumes over the next like 5 years. Is there any site or anyway that you can send copies of the Volumes to emails so that we as the Fans of your work and of Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei. Is there anyway that we could get the PDF of them and be able to Re-Read the Volumes at anytime we want cause i love your work and this series and for US(Me especially) to have to wait 5 years for YenPress to catch up is just too long without reading it. If you can't i understand but if you could I know not just me but countless others would be grateful for that. Also i think id be a shame for all your hard work to go to waste just sitting on your computer.

=== '''Expressing Gratitude'''===

Hmm this section seems a bit lonely so thanks drey for all the good work.

thank you for all your hard work

Thanks for translating, but Please finish the last chapter of volume 5, I've been waitin for like 20 months to continue reading this series and I'm honestly starting to hate this series due to not being able to continue it
Sorry if I'm unreasonable but fuck this is horrible

Volume 5 is a compilation of short stories and is not part of the main storyline. You can skip this and proceed to volume 6.

Nope, Its Volume 5, not 4.5 or SS

Yeah, but other than the last chapter (Presidential election), its really just a bunch of side stories that have little impact on the main story line (and by little I mean virtually none). Besides all that's left is an unfinished chapter about a side charachter that hasn't been used other than an extra (like people in movies that are there just for the sake of the feel/mood) [[User:SXIII|SXIII]] ([[User talk:SXIII|talk]]) 19:11, 23 June 2014 (CDT)

== General ==
Thank you very much, this series is fantastic, so I appreciate your efforts in providing it to us.

I'd like to take a chance to thank you guys at baka-tsuki for translating all these novels I can't understand japense at all and after reading a number of your translations i've ended up going out and buying them when they are released so i wanted to say thanks for letting us all read the works when they come out, thanks again-soulwave

Just want to say thank you to [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] for translating so much of Mahouka. Because of him, this has been one of the best experiences I had with baka-tsuki. Keep up the good work, and may you never get bored. ^_^ --[[User:EZ-Jay|Tortex]] ([[User talk:EZ-Jay|talk]]) 18:20, 22 January 2013 (CST)

Guys I'm still dependent on my parents and i cant donate or know other language like japanese to translate. But I just wish to say thanks for translating this novel. I have been looking forward for it and check it every other day :D - ChiAji

Hey, so I just read the first two chapters of the anime and I found it awesome. Is there a translator for this right now? - Desodus

Whoops, sorry, I meant to say manga.--[[User:Desodus|Desodus]] 18:43, 13 February 2012 (CST)

Any update on this being updated? From what I've read of the novel and the manga, this seems like a pretty awesome series, and I need moar :D --[[User:Vaane|Vaane]] 18:33, 1 April 2012 (CDT)

Uhh seriously why do people ask? The last update was on the 19th, and from the registration page people are working on other parts. The more you ask the more people don't feel like doing it :( --[[User:Lighthalzen|Lighthalzen]] 21:39, 1 April 2012 (CDT)

The reason I asked was that some of the chapters (namely Chapter 3) have no translator registered, and I was wondering whether there was anyone who was translating and hadn't put their name down. But I can understand the feeling of being annoyed at asking for updates, so forget I asked :P --[[User:Vaane|Vaane]] 10:58, 3 April 2012 (CDT)

Actually, the latest revision was on March 31st (in terms of actually adding translations); Seitsuki added some more to chapter 6, if memory serves. I also hope people will eventually get to translating this. --[[User:CrimsonLord|CrimsonLord]] 17:17, 3 April 2012 (CDT)

When are teaser projects allowed to be moved to the main section? Could really use some more exposure to get more people on board translating. I'm sure the recent manga releases have helped drum up some excitement for the series.

Are the translators doing it by the volumes as they come out on sale, or from online readers? Because the fifth volume just went on sale this month, but on this Japanese reading site, there are 6 volumes online.--[[User:Desodus|Desodus]] 22:04, 18 April 2012 (CDT)

There are 6 volume release online cause the web version is longer than the published one, the published one is the compilation of the web version I just can't remember how they are allocated I think its like this v1-2 of the web version is v1 of the published one, and the total number of web version that will be released is around 12 I think? --[[User:Serice|Serice]]

Interesting... very interesting... I think it would be a good idea to hurry and complete the teaser chapters and then promote this into an official project. Because of the manga version, people over at Batoto are taking an interest as well. And there are many comments mentioning Baka-Tsuki and wishing it was an official project here. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 15:40, 26 April 2012 (CDT)

This has enough content to become a project, but the problem is, no one wants to list himself as an active translator, I'll give another few weeks before I check back with suarhnir on her progress. I'm glad enough she agreed to take over the manga from me, so I don't want to give her 'pressure', if possible. --[[User:Larethian|larethian]] 20:13, 26 April 2012 (CDT)

Moreover, this project is really hard and time-consuming to translate. It seems to me that even suarhnir who is majoring in Japanese in university (not studying it as an elective mind you) is taking more time than she had expected. --[[User:Larethian|larethian]] 20:19, 26 April 2012 (CDT)

Query: Does Baka-Tsuki accept Chinese-English translations for this series?

I believe the good folk at lightnovel.cn are much farther in advance in terms of translations, but theirs is (obviously) only in Chinese and their work alone. I do not read Japanese at all, but I am confident in my own Chinese-English translations. Would Baka-Tsuki accept my possible contribution if I converted the Chinese translations into English? This is, of course, under the assumption that the translators from lightnovel.cn give the go ahead. --[[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] 22:59, 02 July 2012

I think that as long as you follow registration procedure for the chapters (to avoid overlapping), you can go ahead. People want to see the translation of this great series. If there is any mistake people that can check japanese raw can edit it after. [[User:Xenocross|Xenocross]] 01:14, 3 July 2012 (CDT)

The art really similar to aquarion evol, are they drawn by the same person?

It would be great if somebody could translate the rest of chapter 2 or at least for the time being offer some kind of summary. Iin this kind of consistent story it is almost imposible to read the rest if you don´t know what happens in the previous chapter.--[[User:KaprJarda|KaprJarda]] ([[User talk:KaprJarda|talk]]) 16:35, 10 September 2012 (CDT)

Yeah. I know the feeling. I wanted to read the whole thing but now that there is a gap in the middle I've lost the desire to read further.

== Novel illustrations ==

Umm... is it ok if i level the b&w ilustrations? i mean make the black black, and the white white. it's annoying that everything is grey. also crop them where there is a need. ..::[[User:Gradient|Gradient]]::.. 08:18, 9 November 2012 (CST)

Why not give one image a level and give a link to it? I can understand your desire to level things, but I think the gray color suits a light novel. It's a bit too different from manga which has less reliance on shading, so it may not look right if you do it improperly. Then again, I have very limited experience as an editor, and I have no idea what it is you can do, so I guess that may seem a bit condescending of me. Well, if the quality is good, I doubt people would mind it much, but give us a sample so someone doesn't decide they dislike it and re-uploads the picture and gets rid of your hard work -- [[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] - [[User_talk:EnigmaticAxiom|Talk]] - 09:40, 09 November 2012 (CST)

it looks like this with the leveling i think it's better but it's up to you ..::[[User:Gradient|Gradient]]::.. 12:35, 9 November 2012 (CST)

I personally think it looks better as well. May as well see what the others think of it. If they don't bother, you can post on the forum to get their opinion (since they might not look here), or I can bring their attention to it if you don't have a forum account. -- [[User:EnigmaticAxiom|EnigmaticAxiom]] - [[User_talk:EnigmaticAxiom|Talk]] - 13:20, 09 November 2012 (CST)

Please do bring this to the forum. If needed i can provide more leveled images. Also it's not realy that big of a work. It's like 5 minutes and a volume worth of images are croped and leveled. <Please post a link to the thread here so i can look at what's going on as well> ..::[[User:Gradient|Gradient]]::.. 13:56, 9 November 2012 (CST)

forget it i registered and made a post in the general thread. ..::[[User:Gradient|Gradient]]::.. 14:51, 9 November 2012 (CST)

well i started uploading them since arczyx in the forum said that they looked closer to the truth, and someone asked me for them to put in the pdf. so volume 1 is up, more coming. these two images have become useless so i'm deleting them. ..::[[User:Gradient|Gradient]]::.. 08:48, 16 November 2012 (CST)

i put up vol 3 and 4 leveled, the rest looks OK so i wont fiddle with them ..::[[User:Gradient|Gradient]]::.. 10:40, 10 December 2012 (CST)

== Missing Chapter ==

Isn't the "Late Great Favorite" a chapter in volume 1 missing, i mean i get why sometimes Afterwords aren't translated as they are just the authors thoughts but does the chapter missing in volume 1 have some kind of plot implication?

If you checked the forum thread you would find out its just some comments from Kawahara Reki(author of Accel World/Sword Art Online) and doesn't contain anything vital to the story.--[[User:Gohankuten|Gohankuten]] ([[User talk:Gohankuten|talk]]) 20:58, 2 December 2012 (CST)

== Helping with translating ==
Hello, I really have not idea if this is the correct place or not but here goes: I would like to help, I do not read the Japanese Language very well but, I would like to try to help with the translating. English is my first language and this is my first time ever on a site like this. I enjoy reading Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei so, I want to help get it out faster for everyone. Dec. 6, 2012 username: sqyde
Thanks and if this is the wrong place to post this, sorry.

Try translating 5 pages first. You can post your translations in the Mahouka forum. --[[User:Larethian|larethian]] ([[User talk:Larethian|talk]]) 03:35, 7 December 2012 (CST)

== Volume 4 ==

Is volume 4 fully translated? I was wondering because aside from the Preamble it also doesn't have a "full text" so i was wondering if some little edits were required or if translators were waiting for Preamble to be done before the full text went up. --Black Swordsman825

It's a wiki you know, you're free to set it up when it's appropriate (I've done volume 4 now). Also, from what I understand the preamble is the blue page and the character info/glossary of term pages you can see in the illustrations, therefore it isn't really that important since it (the events/timetable of events) is explained in detail within the storyline anyways.--[[User:Drowzycow|Drowzycow]] ([[User talk:Drowzycow|talk]]) 19:57, 22 December 2012 (CST)

== Volume 5 ==
Hi guys, as I am currently trying to translate the afterwords, I found out that volume 5 does not seem to have one? Can anyone help me confirm this with the Japanese raws? From all the Chinese sites that I go to there aren't any that have include in an afterword for volume 5. Thanks!

Well I actually checked the raws myself, and have realised that there is actually an afterword for volume 5 as well. However, as it seems like the Chinese translation sites that I went to do not have them, I can only hope that some Japanese to English translator would be kind enough to help translate it for us. -- [[User:Royaloyalz|Royaloyalz]] ([[User talk:Royaloyalz|talk]]) 18:05, 14 February 2013 (CST)

Can anyone link or send me the raw for volume 5? I want to read the machine translation of the 3 middle chapters.

Hey guys. I don't know if this was already asked or not, but why are the 3 middle chapters of volume 5 not translated? Just wondering because I like to read thing in order. --[[User:Casary|Casary]] ([[User talk:Casary|talk]]) 22:28, 9 March 2013 (CST)

It completely depends upon if I translator picks up the chapter, as translators are allowed to choose single chapters. Skipping Volume 5 wouldn't affect the story as there "Side Stories" to the main plot :3. Although i would also like them translated.

Oh, I see. They aren't named chapter X or anything. Ok, thanks. A bit of OCD, I guess. --[[User:Casary|Casary]] ([[User talk:Casary|talk]]) 00:35, 12 March 2013 (CDT)

There is only one story in volume 5 that has even the slightly effect on the story, and it's already been translated. The rest can be skipped which is why their not translated. Your missing out on a damn epic story if your still hang up in Volume 5 side stories.

Chronology is the most important thing, And a series with Side Story Volumes with numbers demands that they be read, Its not Toaru where the Sidestories are Outside of the numbering and can be skipped --[[User:Godoffire|Godoffire]] ([[User talk:Godoffire|talk]]) 11:03, 29 November 2013 (CST)

You most likely will be waiting for awhile then. Most of the translators are focused on getting the main storyline caught up with the released novels.

I just had to say this, was anyone else thinking that Tatsuya made a Gundam when they kept mentioning the mobile suit he developed? That picture with the tank didn't help either.

well i was also thinking the same thing at that mobile suit that he developed, but it turns out that it was something like a fullbody armor with all kinds of resistance something. while reading the last few chapters of volume 7 it feels like something like this. IS(Infinite Stratos) vs Gundams in my imagination. [[User:James Gobilzkame|V33]] 15:21, 11 March 2013 (CDT)

arent the pictures from page 225 and 313 showing what the mobile suit look like? --[[User:Syfer|Syfer]] ([[User talk:Syfer|talk]]) 15:31, 11 March 2013 (CDT)

I would think the cover page would have shown you what to expect, as it is already there in full (black) color. If anything it just looks like a all black pilot suit...
In any case, the 'mobile' or 'mobility' suit is basically your flying armor, except since its technomagical its more logical having the 'flight capacity' CAD module as the whole suit, instead of wings or a broomstick. It does show something more practical compared to what more contemporary fiction shows.
And yes, I was also hoping for mecha to appear since the cover had a pilot suit... laughed when the pilot suit Was the whole thing.--[[User:Gabgrave|Gabgrave]] ([[User talk:Gabgrave|talk]]) 04:41, 12 March 2013 (CDT)

::Done (I accept any responsibility if I've crossed any lines); from my experience so far, no one seems to mind if 99.9% certainty spelling/grammar careless errors are discreetly corrected, even if the corrector is not formally registered for a project. (As a general mode of operation, I mark the edit as a minor edit and leave a brief description of the change(/its reasoning) in the summary.

::Edit: By the way, how did you change your signature? *curiosity* I have my time zone set to 'Asia/Tokyo', and I see 'Recent changes' and History pages with times consistent with that, but my signature is still CDT. I don't mind leaving it like that, since it presumably helps others compare my writing times to others' with litle confusion (and since I can check the History if I forget), but I don't see a way to change it in 'My preferences' and would like to learn about such a way if it exists (out of a desire to know those things I as yet do not). -[[User:Multipartite|Multipartite]] ([[User talk:Multipartite|talk]]) 06:18, 30 May 2013 (CDT)

::I am but an unregistered user here at BT, so unfortunately I don't have any signatures or anything of that sort. So yeah I really can't talk about it.

:::Ahh. Manual writing out? Though it won't include your chosen name, four consecutive tildes should still automatically make a signature which makes it easier to match what you say with an entry in a Discussion's History.

:::There are cases where characters have distinct/characteristic speaking styles, but there are also glaring cases where normal fallibility is far more plausible than intention (as with spelling errors).

:::I didn't know you can do that with tildes.. Thanks for the info. I was just copying whatever I could here at the discussion page since I am not really a user, so do expect me to make a few beginner-like commands.

::::So it seems! (The CDT-matching.) That's why I in turn was intrigued when it looked as though you had a way to make them give a non-CDT time zone.

:Nothing to be happy about. They will probably make another failed adaptation like SAO. Just look at previous works of the director or what Madhouse did to Kaminai.

:Sorry for the late reply. Well, how should I put it to keep it short... Let's say butchered character design was enough to completely put me off. Then we have the overall feeling (or atmosphere) and some plot points. I can say the same about Kikou Shoujo... for that matter. I'm quite enjoying the novel but anime is unwatachable for said reasons. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind minor changes but when anime feels and looks like something completely different than the original, just with the same names, something is wrong.

:I don't want to go into a lengthy discussion about quality of LN adaptations so let me just sum it up like this: I don't care about the anime as long as I can read the rest of the story.

Don't you mean "elaborate"? i'm pretty sure that's the correct word... not to be a pain, just for clarification purposes. considering that "electorate" means a collective of individuals who gather to vote for governmental purposes, like the senate and such? (Edit: author = Tintexan24)

I had trouble watching the PV on the website, but was able to view it at youtube watch?v=RiuznXhx4_Q . The art style is a little worryingly simplistic (reminiscent of Vocaloid visual quality?), but I have no complaints regarding the two main characters and look forward to seeing what is done with it.

In recent season, 'Campione!' is my freshest memory of an anime adaptation which did not adequately succeed, but it was nevertheless enjoyable to watch. No matter what, there will always be dissatisfaction with how much ends up not adapted from a novel, but I (aside from a certain incorrect error message) was thoroughly satisfied by the SAO anime adaptation.
 | 
...It would be a deep shame to not be able to keep reading new Rettousei volumes, but on the other hand most main climaxes have already taken place. Granted, I would be deeply interested in reading about Miyuki taking over the Yotsuba family, or about Miyuki and Tatsuya's super-babies, but if the translation was shut down I would hopefully be able to focus on the wonderful volumes that have been translated thus far and be happy (and grateful) that I had a chance to read them.

Horrible-quality animation comes around every once in a while, but most anime adaptations these days are quite good. An anime of a beloved series is something to be interested in, to be curious about, and definitely something to be happy about. (Though unrelated, the studio is completely different from the one behind the SAO adaptation.) If (in the worst case scenario) the visual quality in fact turns out to make it painfully unwatchable, one can always minimise the window and listen to it like an audio book. In any case, it would take some quite serious mangling for one to not be able to get happiness from this anime, and mangling of that level is rare indeed (though admittedly not unwitnessed). -[[User:Multipartite|Multipartite]] ([[User talk:Multipartite|talk]]) 18:18, 7 October 2013 (CDT)

I was referring to the fact he said failed SAO adaption. Although I will agree with you on the "Campione" adaptation.

Just have to wait and see. A lot of the adaptations don't quite work... they seem to shift the IP to target pubescent males at the expense of story. I'm just not a big fan of GRATUITOUS fan-service.

My biggest concerns are along the same lines as you Grimjakk, I worry that the darker aspects of Miyuki and Tatsuya will be glossed over. Lastly, I am worried over the character of Mayumi and Tatsuya. They may have difficultly pulling off Tatsuya's demeanor, and they seemed to have taken Mayumi in the opposite direction of the novels.

I feel like we'll be better served if someone takes the project off zwabbit's hands. He hasn't made any progress and having his name there prevents anyone else from picking it up.

:You have it the other way around, the regular translators don't seem to be interested on taking on the two very side character side stories, so we are lucky to even have zwabbit's irregular updates. If zwabbit truely has disappeared, the only translators who might be up for it are Dreyakis/Sashiko and they probably won't jump on it until after volume 12 (if volume 13 comes out before then you won't even see them jump on it until after that...)--[[Special:Contributions/31.50.26.71|31.50.26.71]] 05:12, 12 November 2013 (CST)

So now that it is over, anyone else have any thoughts about the anime? What is the general consensus here? In my opinion, they screwed it up big time. I was SOOPER stoked when I heard about the anime. I even went out of my way to tell my friends to watch it because it should be epic. In the end though, it feels like they focused too much on the important scenes but ignored the things in between that make those scenes important. I understand that they have a limited amount of time, but they managed to get enough of a following to take up a 2 month (25 episode) slot, why couldnt they break it up into using only the first 3 volumes volumes instead of forcing down the 4th? There was definitely enough content. After all was said and done, Miyuki seemed like a Sakura-gone-brocon (Original Naruto) where she stood back and cried as Tatsuya did all the heavy lifting. Tatsuya was a badass (like he should be) but the show made him too OP instead of emphasizing the leash that Miyuki has over him. And all the other characters were virtually backups/nonexistent. In my mind they wasted what should have been gold. 3/10 [[User:Bunnybacon|Bunnybacon]] ([[User talk:Bunnybacon|talk]]) 17:45, 14 October 2014 (CDT)

ɪ feel than may have been the point only focusinɡ on Tatsuya like that (i mean he is the main focus). I did enjoy the anime and felt it was rushed through it a bit; I would have liked to see more of the others in action as well I love subplots. But all in all I would give it a 6 out of 10.

I liked the anime, inasmuch as it was nice to see everything animated, but I think they tried to pack too much story into a 26 episode season. They ended up skimping on the character development of the others, making for a more boring experience overall. Case in pointː Mayumi. Mayumi is a delightful contrast to Tatsuya and the others, but in the anime, they cut out most of her character, leaving her as a cool beauty. Basically Miyuki without the Bro-con.̴ I wouldn't have minded if they spent more time in the 9 schools arc, giving the other characters more chances to shine instead of this being the Tatsuya-show.

== Pupils ==

Not to nitpick the translations, but pupils are always black, while iris' are the part of the eye that has different coloring. I do not speak or read any language other than English fluently. As such I just wish to point this out to the translators.
:It's a common mistranslation as the japanese word "hitomi" can mean either of the two or the two of them at once, but most dictionaries list "pupil" as the first meaning (this is why you shouldn't take the first definition on a dictionary and instead look for the one best suited)--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 06:56, 6 July 2014 (CDT)

== Volume 8 nitpick ==

In chapter 9 it is stated that lieutenant isn't an air force rank. Perhaps a footnote should be added to indicate this as the case in 2092, as Lieutenant IS, and has been since the inception of Japanese military aviation, an existing rank (in all branches of service -- JDF, JIA, or JIN).

== Volume 2 ==

I'm that guy who made the post regarding chapter 8 of Volume 2 on the Facebook group.
To repeat what I said there, I feel that the way a part of this chapter (namely, the below part) was translated gave me a different impression to the original text, and would like to ask some questions on how it was done.

[For example, in our dojo, the earliest we would teach any techniques to the students would be at least 6 months after enrollment." ~Those that cannot learn from the people around them and solely rely on being taught, are utterly delusional."]

== Can someone please make PDF files for this light novel? ==

I tried but I really suck at those kinds on things. I don't mind reading online but I prefer PDF files.

I managed to make really crappy PDF files with the "Web 2 PDF" add on but reading online is way better than those. I'm gonna copy and paste this same exact message for all my fave light novels.

Why there aren't the volume covers by the volumes like in other project pages? I think they were there before, but what's happened? non∞ 11:53, 10 November 2014 (CST)

== Volume 14, chapter 1 editing questions ==

Towards the beginning of the chapter there is a sentence that reads

What was added was not only overhead tracks where small-scale compact train-type public transportation facilities [Cabinets] run through. Apart from that new stuff, traditional stuff and various facilities large and small were added to the town scenery. A [large temple on top of a small hill], Kyuuchouji, was one of them.

My question is what exactly is the "stuff" that is being referred to? My initial thought on editing this sentence is to change it to read;

What was added was not only overhead tracks with small-scale compact train-type public transportation [Cabinets] running through. In addition to that new infrastructure, traditional infrastructure and buildings large and small were added to the town scenery. A [large temple on top of a small hill], Kyuuchouji, was one of them.

I am hesitant to make changes such as these because while I may think it is better, I am not familiar with the original language intent and do not want to change something that would change the meaning of the original text. I'm also very new to wiki editing and so will be learning much as time passes.

Thanks for you patience. Beachbum426, 10:22 am Est, December 7 2014

== Licensed ==

Oh Yen Press, how I hate having to end a story so early. Good thing I didn't start reading volume 14. I learned my lesson with NGNL. Anywho, I wish the author the best of luck with his sales. And I guess I'll buy the books in 8 years once Yen press catches up, or when I finish learning Japanese. 14/18 of my current reading list has gotten licensed. :(. I'm still waiting on Hidan no Aria and Spice and Wolf. [[User:All Nighter94|All Night]] ([[User talk:All Nighter94|talk]]) 20:10, 9 March 2015 (CDT)

Just to let you know- the translators wrote on the forum a few days ago that they finished translating 70%-90% of volume 14 and have already started working on 3 chapters from volume 15 (3 translators - 1 per chapter) , well, I think that according to the policy we should let them finish these volumes.--[[User:Yoyoyo5678|Yoyoyo5678]] ([[User talk:Yoyoyo5678|talk]])20:27, 9 March 2015 (CDT)

That should be fine according to policy. The first English-language volume is scheduled to be released by Yen Press in October of 2015 afterall. http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/03/09-1/yen-press-to-publish-the-irregular-at-magic-high-school-light-novels --20:38, 9 March 2015 (CDT)

So the question here is, who will pick this up outside of Baka Tsuki? Because let's be serious, a series like this will get pick up really fast.
As for the licensed version, I doubt they would get very far with it considering the LN is pro-Japan, has incest undertone, and a semi-harem to booth, which are not receive well in the US. The worse that could happen is that Yen Press let it slowly die like it did with Hidan no Aria. [[User:Takatathien|Takatathien]] ([[User talk:Takatathien|talk]])

@taka it was dmg which licensed hidan. and can i have a suggestion for the admins, can we take out recommendation bar since i feel like it contributed to mahouka licensing. the random one can stay but please take away recommendation.

Can someone please Translate Volume 15 just to at least finish so we dont have that massive cliff hanger!!!!!!!???????????? Please!!!!!!

Is there anyway to upload like the last 4 Volumes just so US as readers can go back and reread it? I know i can't wait 5 years for them to catch up and i always enjoy going back and re-reading whenever i have the time and Its just sad to see it get licensed and also a very good thing for it as well, especially for the author. I know its selfish of me but i would really like to just have the PDF again to download it and just copy and paste all the words or something. But I may just be complaining. but anyways best of luck.

Yes i am too curious if you will bring the Volumes to another site cause i enjoy re-reading the novels but since they have been taken down i dont know where to find them. YenPress will take like 5 years to catch up and I'm not trying to wait that long. If anyone knows where to find them on the Web PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW>

== Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei ==

honestly thank you for translating Mahouka, you have no idea how much happiness it brings me. And totally selfish question are you still going to continue translating even if it's been licensed, and if so where will you be posting it?( I will follow you to the deepest depths of the internet if I must) >_< (03/10/2015)

Outstanding work on the skillful translation - it is a very enjoyable read. Many, many thanks (2015/03/04).

My question is: Are you the only translator left to translate Mahouka? It seems Seitsuki pops in once in a while to do Miyuki scenes and that we lost Dreyakis to another project. Is there anything concrete on that or just mere speculation? P.S. Thanks for keeping up on Mahouka. --[[User:Popocatepetl|popocatepetl]] ([[User talk:Popocatepetl|talk]]) 17:53, 29 June 2014 (CDT)
Please note, I don't know them personally, this is based on what the have said on the forums and on their pages.

Dreyakis is waiting for translations that he feels can use to do a good translation (familiarity with the habits of the original translator makes translation easier, doing a secondary translation based on the work of a translator he is unfamiliar with can prevent him from doing a decent translation). Also, his life is probably preventing him from completing the last translation he volunteered for, it has happened before.

Seitsuki will complete what he has volunteered for when he has a chance.

I am currently working on chapter 2 and will register for it when I pass the point that I believe anyone else can complete it. After that I will decide what to do next, if I have time (Summer is a bad time for me to find free time).

However, we still have at least another month before the next volume so, we are still on track and are not falling behind [[User:Sashiko|Sashiko]] ([[User talk:Sashiko#top|talk]]) 21:37, 29 June 2014 (CDT)

Thank you for begin translations on the Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei LN. I appreciate it.

Best of Luck in your Mahouka volume 5 translations, they are much appreciated!

Thank you for helping with the translations. Great seeing new faces thank you so much.

Yeah! You should also add yourself to the translator list.

Thank you so much for coming to translate this.

Good luck with helping translate Mahouka!! Thank you SOOO much!

If you upload just the text in other language then chrome can translate it so if you have the text then upload it please

I am unsure whether I understand the last sentence but if you mean that I should upload the book unto my computer and use a program to do the bulk of the translation, aside from the fact that I believe uploading copyrighted material is illegal, I do not have the technological capacity to do that, so I'm afraid that my process will remain read phrase, doublecheck words I'm unsure of, translate into english and then type my rough translation(and it is rough, the complexity of the task really eats away at my punctuation skills and for speed's sake I often can't spend the time to get a sentence just right, so if you want to help please edit). The process is slow but, with practice I will get faster. -Sashiko

Don't worry too much about punctuation. We can cover that for you based on the context of the text, as long as we can tell where the sentences start and end. I try to avoid changing the actual words as much as possible. You should also ignore the person telling you to have the browser translate it -- pretty sure BT staff does not like that just off the legal issues alone.

Thanks for part 3, enjoyed reading it.

Good job with chapter 3 of Presidential election and the queen. I didn't expect that development, but I like where it's heading. And I agree with the way you do it, not using computer-aided translation. It certainly is a bit slower, but results are something nobody using software assist - even those professional programs out there - can match. And should you ever wish to deploy your skills to translating stuff like serious dissertations for some publisher, computer aids can only get you in trouble. --[[User:Wa-totem|Wa-totem]]

Thanks for completing Presidential election and the queen. Do you have plans to translate the rest of the volume? --[[User:Bilagaana|Bilagaana]] ([[User talk:Bilagaana|talk]]) 23:19, 28 January 2013 (CST)

I realy hope that the rest of the volume is translated not 100% sure if its canon but i am really enjoying the content

Sashiko-san, were you also the one who translate Vol08-Ch07 and Vol08-Ch08? Please fill the one who tranlated it in the registration page. I'm a little confused. [[User:Mada|Mada]] ([[User talk:Mada|talk]]) 08:50, 28 February 2013 (CST)

No, I was not. I have only translated the chapters I have registered for.[[User:Sashiko|Sashiko]] ([[User talk:Sashiko#top|talk]]) 12:20, 28 February 2013 (CST)

Is chapter 4 complete or not?

Excuse me, it is about the last part of Mahouka Kouka no Rettosei Vol.8 Chapter 4. Isn't page 61 and page 62 supposed there? Thank you and my apologies before.
[[User:Mada|Mada]] ([[User talk:Mada|talk]]) 08:16, 21 March 2013 (CDT)

Hi, Thank you for your Translations. I was curious as to who is translation Chapters 15 and 16 of Volume 8. The Registration page doesn't show anyone as having registered for those 2 chapters and you have 17,18 ready and waiting for us (which i am desperately eager to read). Thanks again for all your hard work.

I am working on Chapter 15 however, when Seitsuki has the time to translate he can easily translate faster than I can so I believe that we are both not registering for the chapters in case the other translator finishes first, Once Dreyakis starts on the next volume I will do a partial if neither of us has finished chapter 15 since it is a prologue to the next volume. [[User:Sashiko|Sashiko]] ([[User talk:Sashiko#top|talk]]) 15:13, 28 March 2013 (CDT)

Sashiko just a quick question is the untouchable 2062 a separate Sstory of the past?

Untouchable- takes place over a decade before the high school student characters during the World war three era mentioned in Miyuki's history book. As a prequel, it provides background material for some aspects of the Yokohama Arc and explains this comment- "You dared to touch that which cannot be touched. You dared to sully my scales. For that alone you all deserve to perish!" .(for those who don't know, the scales part refers to the fact that 'Tatsu' and 'Ryuu' can be spelled as dragon.) There is also another tidbit that will play into the Visitor Arc [[User:Sashiko|Sashiko]] ([[User talk:Sashiko#top|talk]]) 19:42, 21 April 2013 (CDT)

泉州-Quanzhou, a prefecture-level city in southern Fujian province

大漢-Dahan, possibly in Taiwan since the results include Dahan Creek and Dahan Institute of Technology, both in Taiwan

対馬-Tsushima, probably the island or the base (I don't remember if the base was already built up by the time of Untouchable)--Vampirecat--

Thanks for keep giving us your translations, makes me happy to see the project advancing, even if you don't care :< (jk)

Don't care about What????
:About me being happy xd

hello. thanks for your work. i think you forgot add something in vol.12 chapter 9. the talk about fumiya and ayako admission to 4°high, and abou minami being the new guardian of miyuki. also, they mention yokohama but i think the should say Hanamatsu. i had read the chinese translation. may be i'm wrong.

No, i checked it is the kanji for Hamamatsu not Yokohama, I just recognized the kanji they both shared and didn't do a doublecheck [[User:Sashiko|Sashiko]] ([[User talk:Sashiko#top|talk]])

Thank you for all of your translations!

Thank you for the translations! I really enjoyed the last two chapters you did of Volume 13 and hope you continue!

Is there any reason for going straight from chapter 1 to 3? Is someone else translating chapters 2 and 4 (in that case, why didn't they register it)? Thanks for your work.--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 09:35, 6 June 2014 (CDT)

:Kemm, Since Sashiko is a direct Japanese to English Translator, and Dreyakis is a Chinese to English Translator for this title, when he was finished with ch1, and the chinese translations hadn't yet reached ch3, he continued to translate starting with ch3 to allow dreyakis to jump in when ready. [[User:TheAEmix|TheAEmix]] ([[User talk:TheAEmix|talk]]) 17:50, 6 June 2014 (CDT)

Thank you for the translations! I appreciate all of your hard work :)

Hi! Came to say, thank you for all the work you've done for Mahouka thus far! It's been a really amazing read. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

== Registration for Mahouka Kouka ==

Editing the page is easy. Anyone who's involved can do so. But you should first talk to Dreyakis. And you should already be familiar with the content that comes before v8. --[[User:Larethian|larethian]] ([[User talk:Larethian|talk]]) 00:10, 31 January 2013 (CST)

== Volume 5 ==

Thanks for translating, but Please finish the last chapter of volume 5, I've been waitin for like 20 months to continue reading this series and I'm honestly starting to hate this series due to not being able to continue it Sorry if I'm unreasonable but fuck this is horrible

Volume 5 is pure filler and has no bearing on the main storyline... while I agree it should be finished whenever someone has the time, nothing is preventing you from continuing to read the series.

After much thought on how to respond to the introduction of this thread, I have come to one conclusion: Even with the ''''please'''', having some stranger arbitrarily request that I do 40 hours of work for their personal enjoyment is a real motivation killer.

Please do not put motivation killers on this page. [[User:Sashiko|Sashiko]] ([[User talk:Sashiko#top|talk]])

I'm sorry to say this, but I dont even care if this makes you stop translating at this point
I love you for going to the trouble to let people read it, but I'm strong believer in do it right or dont do it all
I want to say thank you but its almost impossible when I cant continue this series
You cant skip a Numbered volume, if it was 4.5 or used a misc title like MM, could totally skip it but its insulting to skip a main volume

Frankly, the above comment is so "insulting" that I almost deleted it in disgust, but then again, we are all entitled to express our opinions. I'd just like to say that I personally (and I'm sure many others feel the same as well) am really grateful to you and other translators for taking the time and effort to translate so that everyone else can enjoy the novel. Thanks so much and I hope you won't let those motivation killers get to you.

First, I would like thank the person who defended me. Second, let me put it clearly, I am not upset that someone wants a particular part translated, I am upset over the the fact that someone feels they have the right to demand that I translate something (and despite the 'please' it felt like a demand). Especially when the phrasing of their request implied that they had not read the General Format/Style Guideline which someone who had considered contributing to the project as either an editor or translator would have done.[[User:Sashiko|Sashiko]] ([[User talk:Sashiko#top|talk]])

First I would like to thank you for translating this LN. Second, I really Hope you're not affected by the above comments. Because I for sure is grateful to you for translating this LN (and because of that i can read it hahaha!!!!).

== Concerning Mahouka Vol 14 ==

Hi Sashiko,

Thanks for your continued work on Mahouka. I saw on the registration page that you wrote that Chap 5 of vol 14 was "Ready". Assuming that means that you have finished TLing the chapter, would you be willing to post it? It's just my personal suggestion and I can totally understand if you don't want to spoil the ending. But in case you were neutral about the matter, I just wanted to let you know that some people (or at least me lol) would be interested in reading it.

Me too. we already have the summarize of volume 14. for example, it's ending up with mayumi's arrival for meeting tatsuya as a member of saegusa. Just let people read who want to read chapter 5. it won't be spoiler or something plus, there are only several days of release of volume 15.

Color me on edge. So looking forward to the rest of the volume! Maybe I can help localize some more chemistry terms. Always funny to realize when things are literally like anti-oxidation as opposed to being separate words as they are in English( e.g. oxidation and reduction). Love the series. Your translations communicate coherent thoughts and are super understandable. I'm glad I'm in a position to garner so much enjoyment from your efforts ( esp. Considering we all have lives and jobs)

== Russian translators ==

Hello Sashiko!

I am Elberet. I am russian translator of Mahouka. At first: thanks for translate this epic novel. Because of you, Dreyakis and anothers translators we can read it and translate it in russian. I write it, because (if it possible) i want to speak with you. In chat or by email (but chat-skype(juric8899) would be better). I want to write to you on forum, but it down now.
