'''''Kokoro Connect''''' (ココロコネクト) is a Japanese light novel series written by Sadanatsu Anda, with illustrations by Shiromizakana. Anda entered the first novel in the series, originally titled ''Hito Tsunagari Te, Doko e Yuku'' (ヒトツナガリテ、ドコへユク?), into Enterbrain's 11th Entertainment Awards in 2009 and the novel won the Special Prize. As of April 2013, the series has 10 volumes (8 main volumes and 2 side-story volumes).

An ongoing manga adaptation under the same name was written by the original author and illustrated by CUTEG in October 2010. A 17-episode anime adaptation was made by Silver Link; the first 13 aired in July 2012 and the last 4 aired in December 2012. These episodes adapted the first four novels of ''Kokoro Connect''.

A Drama CD has been released in February 2011, and a second has been released in January 2012. A PSP visual novel, ''Kokoro Connect: Yochi Random'', has been released in November 2012, featuring an original story taking place after the events of the first novel, Hito Random.

Lantern: /* Volume 2 */

== General Translation Questions ==
This question will probably come up eventually, so I'll ask it now.

Is this project being translated to British English or American English? I've seen both in the translation so far. "Practice" is AE, and I've seen that used. But then there are things like "realise" which is clearly BE, as opposed to "realize" for AE. Heck, AE even uses such confusing things as "license" with an "s" at the end, yet BE would use "licence" with a "c" and um... suffice to say, I'm very confused now. [[User:Unkani|Unkani]] 16:26, 6 August 2012 (CDT)

British English for consistency. Sorry for confusing them up sometimes. Thanks for the reminder. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] 19:24, 7 August 2012 (CDT)

The use of "nope" is also very common in your translation. It's fine in some areas, but it is a very informal way to say "no". The latest case of this, from Ch. 4:
The Literature club faced a life-and-death situation... '''nope''', the existence of the club...
In this case, I think the "nope" was quite inappropriate, especially with regard to the serious setting. There's more cases, but I've generally let them slide. I just thought I'd bring this to your attention. [[User:Unkani|Unkani]] ([[User talk:Unkani|talk]]) 20:08, 9 August 2012 (CDT)

== Formatting ==

I just noticed there was just an edit by Pudding to turn an American word that I edited to the British equivalent (self-centered -> self-centred). Is this project going to be using British English? Generally, this site uses American English, unless specified by the project. I don't mind either way but I'd like to know before I make too many edits so I know which direction to take. EDIT: Just saw the above discussion. My bad! This should be added to the main Kokoro Connect page. --[[User:Zalgryth|Zalgryth]] ([[User talk:Zalgryth|talk]]) 12:17, 5 September 2012 (CDT)

Just added that we are using British English in the formatting section to prevent any further confusion. Cheers. --[[User:Zalgryth|Zalgryth]] ([[User talk:Zalgryth|talk]]) 12:25, 5 September 2012 (CDT)

== Vol. 4 chapter titles ==

Regarding [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Kokoro_Connect&diff=next&oldid=188605 this] change.

<nowiki>using the possessive ''s' seems better</nowiki>

I agree, but the titles look like a nod to the titles of the Haruhi volumes. The format ("The <X> of <full name of person>") fits perfectly, but who knows? [[User:HigherFive|HigherFive]] ([[User talk:HigherFive|talk]]) 07:56, 15 September 2012 (CDT)

Just looked up the titles in Japanese and this doesn't seem to be the case. The first chapter's title is "八重樫太一による告白", rather than "八重樫太一の告白". The rest don't match either. [[User:HigherFive|HigherFive]] ([[User talk:HigherFive|talk]]) 09:45, 15 September 2012 (CDT)

I understand the difference (slightly). Nevertheless, the representation [The <X> of <person>] is bad writing style and has the 'same' meaning as possession since this representation is reserved for possessive ancient proper names ending in 'es' or 'is', e.g. the laws of Moses, the temple of Isis. You would need another way to represent this if you do not want to make it possessive. Otherwise, you have no choice but to add 's'. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] 10:13, 15 August 2012 (CDT)

I suppose I should leave a message here for future editor's reference. Normally, I would agree that [<person>'s <X>] is better for possessive presentation. However, 5 out of 10 titles do not work out with that. Chapter 2 for example, compare version A) [Inaba Himeko's Valentine's Day] and version B) [The Valentine's Day for Inaba Himeko]. The two mean completely different things. The first merely puts the focus on somebody's 'Valentine's Day.' The notion of this version is 'What <person> did or encounter on Valentine's Day.' However, the latter puts the title in a whole different notion. It includes more about the <person> into the context. It becomes a lot more personal. This version raises the idea of 'What did Valentine's Day mean to <person>' If we used version A instead, it would completely lose that context. The same concept applies to Chapter 4, 7, 9 and Epilogue titles. Hence, the titles will stick to version B. Needless to say, the remaining 5 titles will conform to the 5 I discussed for consistency.

== Volume 2 ==

First want to see that I'm very grateful for the translations on this site so i don't want this to be misunderstood, but i was wondering that if before the translators who work hard on this series go on to further volumes if one could translate volume 2? because i have been meaning to start this series for a while now, but i didn't want to skip volume 2, it seems volume 5 is the next one that is being worked on thus my question if volume 2 could be done first instead if at all possible. [[User:‎Black Swordsman825|‎Black Swordsman825]]

Hello, currently I don't think I have the say on this... yet. The previous translator who worked on Volume 2 Kizu Random, Pudding, has retired from the project. And the other translator s07195 who was also going to be working on Kizu has been MIA since the beginning of October. I have just announced on the forum thread today that, IF nobody picked up Kizu by the time I complete Pentagon++, I will be asking for permission to take over and complete that volume so the alternate language translators who work from English translations (I know the Spanish ones do, at least) can continue translating, as well as keeping the project's continuity. Pentagon++ will be the only part of Clip Time I plan to work on at the moment. So if you can bear with me for 128 pages, hopefully, I will have permission to continue it by then.

——[[User:Lantern|Lantern]] - [[User_talk:Lantern|Talk]] - 22:11, 6 November 2012 (CDT)

As Lantern have said, I have retired from the project and will not pick it back up in a while—say, a year. As such, I will not be continuing to translate volume 2. I will leave other translators, namely Lantern, to choose whether to continue it. Anyways, thank you for your question. And also thanks to Lantern to clarify this matter. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 05:53, 7 November 2012 (CDT)

I hope translation For Pentagon++ goes smoothly. I'm also waiting to continue with this series and have not yet watched the anime (if I ever watch it, it will be after I read Kizu Random). But I can bear with a little delay.--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 16:21, 6 December 2012 (CST)

Just a quick question, I noticed that the club the protagonists are in are called the Literature Club in Vol. 2, yet in the Names and Terminology guide it is mentioned as the Cultural Research Club. Do you think we need to change it? or is it alright to leave as is? ------- [[User:MrAria|MrAria]] ([[User talk:MrAria|talk]]) 06:36, 20 April 2013 (CDT)

Please stick with the Names and Terminology guide. ——[[User:Lantern|Lantern]] - [[User_talk:Lantern|Talk]] - 8:50, 20 April 2013

== Volume 5 completion? ==

Hello, I have recently finished the anime and I was wondering what is happening with volume 5? Is it going to be continued after you finish the full volume 4.5 or just after you finish Pentagon++? Any estimation on date of completion would be Awesome thanks.

NatsuXDragneel 13:47,
19 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry to say I cannot give an estimate date. I have taken up the Chinese translation of Yume Random because of its being repeatedly abandoned by translators and quite frankly I felt the impulsive... "urge" to complete it. It's gonna be at least over a month. Pentagon++ won't be completed until I finish that. Should I ever finish Pentagon++ in the future, I'll be wrapping up Kizu first before moving on to Nise. And that's only the plan. I cannot make any promises as I'm the only one left who's really keeping track of the project on both shores.

[[User:Lantern|Lantern]] - [[User_talk:Lantern|Talk]] - 21:10, 19 February 2013 (EST)

Man.. As I really wish I could help, but as I know no languages other than highschool spanish. But as if you ever need support just ask, I am a huge fan of Kokoro, and Wish you to find another translator in the future!

[[User:NatsuXDragneel|NatsuXDragneel]] ([[User talk:NatsuXDragneel|talk]]) 18:50, 22 February 2013 (CST)

Feel free to edit if you like. I'll look over them from time to time so don't be afraid to do so. One thing though, if you want to do huge edits that changes a large, consecutive segment of a page, you might wanna leave the translator, in this case, Pudding and me, a message with your version of the edit first. Pudding is responsible for Vol.1 and whatever's available for Vol.2. While I'm responsible for Vol.3,4 and 4.5.

== Volume 7 & 8 Illustrations ==

I tried finding scanlations of both Asu Random novels but couldn't find them anywhere - if anyone has access to the illustrations can they be uploaded please? Thanks!

[[User:MCsq2|MCsq2]] - [[User_talk:MCsq2|Talk]] - 01:56, 13 April 2013 (EST)

It's hard to find if you search through Japanese sites. You can find some if you try typing ココロコネクトアスランダム. [[User:Skullheart|Skullheart]] ([[User talk:Skullheart|talk]])

== General Translation From Japanese ==

Is there some kind of way to translate the words for I depending on the person and the ending particles into english. eg. 俺、あたし、アタシ、オレ、わたし. All the members of the StuCS use a different version of I. I'm starting to find that once it's translated to english it's losing a bit of the emotion I get from reading the japanese due to the lack of those ending particles in english. eg. よ、ぞ、etc.

== Editor Needed? ==

I saw on facebook about an editor position needed here. I speak English (american) so if that is what you are looking for then I am currently available, as I need something to do In my free time. [[User:NatsuXDragneel|NatsuXDragneel]] ([[User talk:NatsuXDragneel|Talk]])

This project is translated to British English - do you have a general knowledge of the differences between British and American (mainly spelling differences)? If so, you are more than welcome to be an editor for Kokoro Connect :) -- [[User:MCsq2|MCsq2]] ([[User talk:MCsq2|Talk]]) - 05:24, 19 April 2013 (CST)

Do you mean like color to colour and theater to theatre? Because if that is it then I know most of it.

Hello, thanks for the translation of the chapters and the illustrations. I see you have properly registered for the translation of volume 2—which is nice. So I'm going to go ahead and translate volume 3. But alas, you've done some dialogues for volume 3 already! So, would you mind if I go on translating it? Do you want me to partially use some of your translated dialogues? [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 23:52, 3 September 2012 (CDT)

Okay, I'm fine with either volume. You can still do the prologue for V2 as the rules only states that one chapter (not volume) can only be done by one translator. Oh and btw you can still write on your own user talk and reply me to make things easier to read...but I won't get a notification if the edit is on your wall. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 00:14, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

Okay, thanks for the tip =)
I'll un-register myself from Vol.2. Speaking of prologue, I notice something that concerns me throughout the novel series: There are multiple occasions where unlike Vol.3, there are short one or two pages worth of "prologues" without titles, but prints before the actual "Chapter 1". What do you usually do with those? Do you just include them at the beginning of Chapter 1? Examples: Vol.2, 4, 6 and probably 7 if you count that one single line by Fuusenkazura. [[User:Lantern|Lantern]] - [[User_talk:Lantern|Talk]] - 00:22, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

In kino no tabi, they use frontispiece; e.g. in v2, they use Kino no Tabi:Volume2 Frontispiece. If this word doesn't appeal to you, you may want to have a look at Haganai (Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai) V7—they use "Words Lost in the Wind" and if you click into it, the whole chapter only consist of a one line of dialogue spoken by a character (which may suit that line said by Fuusenkazura) [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 00:28, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

No..forget what I said about frontispiece; use prelude instead. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 00:33, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

Sorry >"< I changed my mind back to using prologue and changed them. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 09:44, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

Not a problem, they serve the same purpose to me anyway xD [[User:Lantern|Lantern]] - [[User_talk:Lantern|Talk]] - 11:56, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

Even though I don't seem to have the time to translate now, I can still help with some minor edits. You can check 'recent changes' on the left column or the 'history' page on the chapters to see the changes I made. You may want to make some adjustments after my edit. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 05:50, 14 September 2012 (CDT)

Noted and Done. Thanks for the corrections. Oh two things I should let you know is that after careful consideration I've decided to keep Balloon Vine's name as Fuusenkazura due to the recent release of the official novel illustration: Volume 9 Asu Random's title icon are the seeds of the plants, implying that the author actually had the English name Heartseed in mind when he gave the character that name. While I want to keep the original literal meaning of Balloon Vine, I don't want to move away from the implied symbolism. So I'll be keeping the name in romanji, and annotate the name with both English translations at the first appearance of his name in each volume. The other name is Bunkenbu's translation. I'm sticking to Cultural Research as I think the club title is closer to that of studying student life and local cultures (even though they claim to be publishing whatever they like, they are still dealing with student cultures) than actual literature studies, which would have been Bungakubu. [[User:Lantern|Lantern]] - [[User_talk:Lantern|Talk]] - 07:51, 14 September 2012 (CDT)

I just have some editing issues @ KC V3 C1 - Line 749 - "You going to the toilet isn't the problem!" Notice that "your going to the toilet" here is the subject; hence, "your" is used to express possessive. This goes for the same with "the grade-schooler's walking around the campus...is..." I'll leave comments in the page for the other edits. It's good that you're paying attention to every edit. Keep it up! [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 17:23, 19 September 2012 (CDT)

I want to make a note, on the Gerand possessive issue: "your going" is certainly grammatically correct, but take it from a writer, it's fine if the dialogue between characters is colloquial. If it's the exposition/narrative, it should be grammatically correct, but you really don't have to worry about dialogue.
[[User:Skies|Skies]]

I'm gonna stick to past tense in volume 4 prologue. I also made necessary revert edits so it sounds better in English. Refer to the passage when necessary, but make it more fluent in English. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 03:56, 8 October 2012 (CDT)

Maybe I'm a bit out of topic, but I want to say: "Thank you for translating Kokoro Connect. I enjoy reading this a lot. We all appreciate your effort"--[[User:Level5|Level5]] ([[User talk:Level5|talk]]) 00:40, 26 October 2012 (CDT)

Hi! It's been some time I've hit you up. I'm not sure if you know this, but I think it would be some help to the translation. Usually, you can see some 'separators' in Kokoro Connect. But in some cases a separator is needed but only a line space is provided in the context. As such, you can use this separator:
<pre><center>—</center></pre>

For reference, you can have a look at Chapter 9 of the first volume of Kokoro Connect. You can decide whether to use the separator. The only aim is to make it natural.

Thanks for your concern and good luck in translating volume 5.
[[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 06:02, 7 November 2012 (CDT)

Kokoro Connect:Registration Page

2013-03-13T20:13:19Z

Lantern: /* Volume 2 */

To re-iterate the registration procedure:

*You are required to register which chapters you wish to work on. One portion of text per translator, please.

*Registration is on a "First Come, First Served" basis. Please register your intended chapters on the project's registration page.

*Maximum number of translators per volume is two, unless the volume is a collection of smaller stories. Another way to interpret this is no more than two translators should be working on the same "story arc".

*Translators may only register for portions of one volume at a time within each project. This is to prevent "biting off more than you can chew".

*The Registration page is not a binding contract, and translators are encouraged to negotiate between themselves which portions to register for.

*Anonymous Translated Contributions are required to inform [[User:Thelastguardian|thelastguardian]] and the designated Project Supervisor of the intend Chapters as shown on the corresponding Registration page before any major contribution.

*Portions that are not updated for a significant time may be taken over by another translator after getting permission from the Project Supervisor. The new translator is encouraged to start over to maintain consistency, but the old translation will not be deleted at least until the new translation is finished (and probably not for some time after that).

Lantern:

Chinese to English, Japanese to Chinese translator.

While I'm fairly literal, I do try my best to get the translation as smooth as possible as long as it doesn't divert too far from the image.
If you got any questions when you're unsure of the context, feel free to ask me.
And don't hesitate to correct any blunders I made >:D

Lantern: /* Volume 5 completion? */

== General Translation Questions ==
This question will probably come up eventually, so I'll ask it now.

Is this project being translated to British English or American English? I've seen both in the translation so far. "Practice" is AE, and I've seen that used. But then there are things like "realise" which is clearly BE, as opposed to "realize" for AE. Heck, AE even uses such confusing things as "license" with an "s" at the end, yet BE would use "licence" with a "c" and um... suffice to say, I'm very confused now. [[User:Unkani|Unkani]] 16:26, 6 August 2012 (CDT)

British English for consistency. Sorry for confusing them up sometimes. Thanks for the reminder. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] 19:24, 7 August 2012 (CDT)

The use of "nope" is also very common in your translation. It's fine in some areas, but it is a very informal way to say "no". The latest case of this, from Ch. 4:
The Literature club faced a life-and-death situation... '''nope''', the existence of the club...
In this case, I think the "nope" was quite inappropriate, especially with regard to the serious setting. There's more cases, but I've generally let them slide. I just thought I'd bring this to your attention. [[User:Unkani|Unkani]] ([[User talk:Unkani|talk]]) 20:08, 9 August 2012 (CDT)

== Formatting ==

I just noticed there was just an edit by Pudding to turn an American word that I edited to the British equivalent (self-centered -> self-centred). Is this project going to be using British English? Generally, this site uses American English, unless specified by the project. I don't mind either way but I'd like to know before I make too many edits so I know which direction to take. EDIT: Just saw the above discussion. My bad! This should be added to the main Kokoro Connect page. --[[User:Zalgryth|Zalgryth]] ([[User talk:Zalgryth|talk]]) 12:17, 5 September 2012 (CDT)

Just added that we are using British English in the formatting section to prevent any further confusion. Cheers. --[[User:Zalgryth|Zalgryth]] ([[User talk:Zalgryth|talk]]) 12:25, 5 September 2012 (CDT)

== Vol. 4 chapter titles ==

Regarding [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Kokoro_Connect&diff=next&oldid=188605 this] change.

<nowiki>using the possessive ''s' seems better</nowiki>

I agree, but the titles look like a nod to the titles of the Haruhi volumes. The format ("The <X> of <full name of person>") fits perfectly, but who knows? [[User:HigherFive|HigherFive]] ([[User talk:HigherFive|talk]]) 07:56, 15 September 2012 (CDT)

Just looked up the titles in Japanese and this doesn't seem to be the case. The first chapter's title is "八重樫太一による告白", rather than "八重樫太一の告白". The rest don't match either. [[User:HigherFive|HigherFive]] ([[User talk:HigherFive|talk]]) 09:45, 15 September 2012 (CDT)

I understand the difference (slightly). Nevertheless, the representation [The <X> of <person>] is bad writing style and has the 'same' meaning as possession since this representation is reserved for possessive ancient proper names ending in 'es' or 'is', e.g. the laws of Moses, the temple of Isis. You would need another way to represent this if you do not want to make it possessive. Otherwise, you have no choice but to add 's'. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] 10:13, 15 August 2012 (CDT)

I suppose I should leave a message here for future editor's reference. Normally, I would agree that [<person>'s <X>] is better for possessive presentation. However, 5 out of 10 titles do not work out with that. Chapter 2 for example, compare version A) [Inaba Himeko's Valentine's Day] and version B) [The Valentine's Day for Inaba Himeko]. The two mean completely different things. The first merely puts the focus on somebody's 'Valentine's Day.' The notion of this version is 'What <person> did or encounter on Valentine's Day.' However, the latter puts the title in a whole different notion. It includes more about the <person> into the context. It becomes a lot more personal. This version raises the idea of 'What did Valentine's Day mean to <person>' If we used version A instead, it would completely lose that context. The same concept applies to Chapter 4, 7, 9 and Epilogue titles. Hence, the titles will stick to version B. Needless to say, the remaining 5 titles will conform to the 5 I discussed for consistency.

== Volume 2 ==

First want to see that I'm very grateful for the translations on this site so i don't want this to be misunderstood, but i was wondering that if before the translators who work hard on this series go on to further volumes if one could translate volume 2? because i have been meaning to start this series for a while now, but i didn't want to skip volume 2, it seems volume 5 is the next one that is being worked on thus my question if volume 2 could be done first instead if at all possible. [[User:‎Black Swordsman825|‎Black Swordsman825]]

Hello, currently I don't think I have the say on this... yet. The previous translator who worked on Volume 2 Kizu Random, Pudding, has retired from the project. And the other translator s07195 who was also going to be working on Kizu has been MIA since the beginning of October. I have just announced on the forum thread today that, IF nobody picked up Kizu by the time I complete Pentagon++, I will be asking for permission to take over and complete that volume so the alternate language translators who work from English translations (I know the Spanish ones do, at least) can continue translating, as well as keeping the project's continuity. Pentagon++ will be the only part of Clip Time I plan to work on at the moment. So if you can bear with me for 128 pages, hopefully, I will have permission to continue it by then.

——[[User:Lantern|Lantern]] - [[User_talk:Lantern|Talk]] - 22:11, 6 November 2012 (CDT)

As Lantern have said, I have retired from the project and will not pick it back up in a while—say, a year. As such, I will not be continuing to translate volume 2. I will leave other translators, namely Lantern, to choose whether to continue it. Anyways, thank you for your question. And also thanks to Lantern to clarify this matter. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 05:53, 7 November 2012 (CDT)

I hope translation For Pentagon++ goes smoothly. I'm also waiting to continue with this series and have not yet watched the anime (if I ever watch it, it will be after I read Kizu Random). But I can bear with a little delay.--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 16:21, 6 December 2012 (CST)

== Volume 5 completion? ==

Hello, I have recently finished the anime and I was wondering what is happening with volume 5? Is it going to be continued after you finish the full volume 4.5 or just after you finish Pentagon++? Any estimation on date of completion would be Awesome thanks.

NatsuXDragneel 13:47,
19 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry to say I cannot give an estimate date. I have taken up the Chinese translation of Yume Random because of its being repeatedly abandoned by translators and quite frankly I felt the impulsive... "urge" to complete it. It's gonna be at least over a month. Pentagon++ won't be completed until I finish that. Should I ever finish Pentagon++ in the future, I'll be wrapping up Kizu first before moving on to Nise. And that's only the plan. I cannot make any promises as I'm the only one left who's really keeping track of the project on both shores.

[[User:Lantern|Lantern]] - [[User_talk:Lantern|Talk]] - 21:10, 19 February 2013 (EST)

Man.. As I really wish I could help, but as I know no languages other than highschool spanish. But as if you ever need support just ask, I am a huge fan of Kokoro, and Wish you to find another translator in the future!

[[User:NatsuXDragneel|NatsuXDragneel]] ([[User talk:NatsuXDragneel|talk]]) 18:50, 22 February 2013 (CST)

Feel free to edit if you like. I'll look over them from time to time so don't be afraid to do so. One thing though, if you want to do huge edits that changes a large, consecutive segment of a page, you might wanna leave the translator, in this case, Pudding and me, a message with your version of the edit first. Pudding is responsible for Vol.1 and whatever's available for Vol.2. While I'm responsible for Vol.3,4 and 4.5.

Lantern: /* Chapter 5 completion? */

== General Translation Questions ==
This question will probably come up eventually, so I'll ask it now.

Is this project being translated to British English or American English? I've seen both in the translation so far. "Practice" is AE, and I've seen that used. But then there are things like "realise" which is clearly BE, as opposed to "realize" for AE. Heck, AE even uses such confusing things as "license" with an "s" at the end, yet BE would use "licence" with a "c" and um... suffice to say, I'm very confused now. [[User:Unkani|Unkani]] 16:26, 6 August 2012 (CDT)

British English for consistency. Sorry for confusing them up sometimes. Thanks for the reminder. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] 19:24, 7 August 2012 (CDT)

The use of "nope" is also very common in your translation. It's fine in some areas, but it is a very informal way to say "no". The latest case of this, from Ch. 4:
The Literature club faced a life-and-death situation... '''nope''', the existence of the club...
In this case, I think the "nope" was quite inappropriate, especially with regard to the serious setting. There's more cases, but I've generally let them slide. I just thought I'd bring this to your attention. [[User:Unkani|Unkani]] ([[User talk:Unkani|talk]]) 20:08, 9 August 2012 (CDT)

== Formatting ==

I just noticed there was just an edit by Pudding to turn an American word that I edited to the British equivalent (self-centered -> self-centred). Is this project going to be using British English? Generally, this site uses American English, unless specified by the project. I don't mind either way but I'd like to know before I make too many edits so I know which direction to take. EDIT: Just saw the above discussion. My bad! This should be added to the main Kokoro Connect page. --[[User:Zalgryth|Zalgryth]] ([[User talk:Zalgryth|talk]]) 12:17, 5 September 2012 (CDT)

Just added that we are using British English in the formatting section to prevent any further confusion. Cheers. --[[User:Zalgryth|Zalgryth]] ([[User talk:Zalgryth|talk]]) 12:25, 5 September 2012 (CDT)

== Vol. 4 chapter titles ==

Regarding [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Kokoro_Connect&diff=next&oldid=188605 this] change.

<nowiki>using the possessive ''s' seems better</nowiki>

I agree, but the titles look like a nod to the titles of the Haruhi volumes. The format ("The <X> of <full name of person>") fits perfectly, but who knows? [[User:HigherFive|HigherFive]] ([[User talk:HigherFive|talk]]) 07:56, 15 September 2012 (CDT)

Just looked up the titles in Japanese and this doesn't seem to be the case. The first chapter's title is "八重樫太一による告白", rather than "八重樫太一の告白". The rest don't match either. [[User:HigherFive|HigherFive]] ([[User talk:HigherFive|talk]]) 09:45, 15 September 2012 (CDT)

I understand the difference (slightly). Nevertheless, the representation [The <X> of <person>] is bad writing style and has the 'same' meaning as possession since this representation is reserved for possessive ancient proper names ending in 'es' or 'is', e.g. the laws of Moses, the temple of Isis. You would need another way to represent this if you do not want to make it possessive. Otherwise, you have no choice but to add 's'. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] 10:13, 15 August 2012 (CDT)

I suppose I should leave a message here for future editor's reference. Normally, I would agree that [<person>'s <X>] is better for possessive presentation. However, 5 out of 10 titles do not work out with that. Chapter 2 for example, compare version A) [Inaba Himeko's Valentine's Day] and version B) [The Valentine's Day for Inaba Himeko]. The two mean completely different things. The first merely puts the focus on somebody's 'Valentine's Day.' The notion of this version is 'What <person> did or encounter on Valentine's Day.' However, the latter puts the title in a whole different notion. It includes more about the <person> into the context. It becomes a lot more personal. This version raises the idea of 'What did Valentine's Day mean to <person>' If we used version A instead, it would completely lose that context. The same concept applies to Chapter 4, 7, 9 and Epilogue titles. Hence, the titles will stick to version B. Needless to say, the remaining 5 titles will conform to the 5 I discussed for consistency.

== Volume 2 ==

First want to see that I'm very grateful for the translations on this site so i don't want this to be misunderstood, but i was wondering that if before the translators who work hard on this series go on to further volumes if one could translate volume 2? because i have been meaning to start this series for a while now, but i didn't want to skip volume 2, it seems volume 5 is the next one that is being worked on thus my question if volume 2 could be done first instead if at all possible. [[User:‎Black Swordsman825|‎Black Swordsman825]]

Hello, currently I don't think I have the say on this... yet. The previous translator who worked on Volume 2 Kizu Random, Pudding, has retired from the project. And the other translator s07195 who was also going to be working on Kizu has been MIA since the beginning of October. I have just announced on the forum thread today that, IF nobody picked up Kizu by the time I complete Pentagon++, I will be asking for permission to take over and complete that volume so the alternate language translators who work from English translations (I know the Spanish ones do, at least) can continue translating, as well as keeping the project's continuity. Pentagon++ will be the only part of Clip Time I plan to work on at the moment. So if you can bear with me for 128 pages, hopefully, I will have permission to continue it by then.

——[[User:Lantern|Lantern]] - [[User_talk:Lantern|Talk]] - 22:11, 6 November 2012 (CDT)

As Lantern have said, I have retired from the project and will not pick it back up in a while—say, a year. As such, I will not be continuing to translate volume 2. I will leave other translators, namely Lantern, to choose whether to continue it. Anyways, thank you for your question. And also thanks to Lantern to clarify this matter. [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] - [[User_talk:Pudding321|Talk]] - 05:53, 7 November 2012 (CDT)

I hope translation For Pentagon++ goes smoothly. I'm also waiting to continue with this series and have not yet watched the anime (if I ever watch it, it will be after I read Kizu Random). But I can bear with a little delay.--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]]) 16:21, 6 December 2012 (CST)

== Volume 5 completion? ==

Hello, I have recently finished the anime and I was wondering what is happening with volume 5? Is it going to be continued after you finish the full volume 4.5 or just after you finish Pentagon++? Any estimation on date of completion would be Awesome thanks.

NatsuXDragneel 13:47,
19 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry to say I cannot give an estimate date. I have taken up the Chinese translation of Yume Random because of its being repeatedly abandoned by translators and quite frankly I felt the impulsive... "urge" to complete it. It's gonna be at least over a month. Pentagon++ won't be completed until I finish that. Should I ever finish Pentagon++ in the future, I'll be wrapping up Kizu first before moving on to Nise. And that's only the plan. I cannot make any promises as I'm the only one left who's really keeping track of the project on both shores.

——I failed the entrance exam of the public high school of my choice.

Even though it was supposed to be the best high school around the district, the passing rate for this mock exam was around 80%.

I didn't think that I wasn't good enough. I was just unlucky.

Speaking of which, one of the fellas in my cram class who had far worse performances in school seemed to have been admitted.

Tough luck.

In the end, I enrolled for Yamaboshi Private High School. It was a school with fairly competitive promotion rate; allegedly, its school ethos was supposed to be good as well. That being said, it was bound to be a little upsetting.

It was grey right off the start.

I thought it was quite fitting for me in a sense.

Weren't most people's lives like this too?

...As I was thinking that, a strange, conincidental coincidence coincidentally came forth.

Was it coincidental? Actually, was it predetermined?

Those people I encountered. They gleamed with a certain brightness that irritated me.

So bright it made me feel sick.

I supposed those kind of people did exist after all.

People who gleamed like a fool in this faintly corrupted world.

However, those kind of people were bound to end up like me.

In other words, they would slowly be corrupted. That was how 'normal' supposed to be.

But on rare occasions, there were those who would never be corrupted. I knew that quite well myself.

Those who were born blessed with incredible luck.

Yet I still pondered from time to time.

How would these people end up?

And... Why did I think they were gleaming?

It was unbelievable. It felt puzzling. It felt mysterious. I wanted to know more.

And then perhaps, once I grasped the answer, I could become like that too—— No, not at all.

What nonsense was I thinking?

Of course it wouldn't work out like that.

No way, impossible.

''...But I——wanted to know...''

...Yes, that was it. I merely wanted to know. Nothing more.

I was definitely not feeling envious or antyhing. Definitely not.

Yes, definitely not.

<center>□■□■□</center>

''——I've become high-schooler now. I'm going to change,'' I thought to myself.

This must be what they would call a debut in high school.

Hmm. Debut. I like the sound of that.

I wasn't exactly trying to become anyone brilliant. I knew where my limit lies after all.

However, even just a little, if there was something or someone that I could look up to, I would be really happy.

A world like those in live dramas.

A world like those in mangas.

Freeing myself from the world I knew.

I wouldn't mind even if I weren't the protagonist of that world. I just wanted to become a resident in its corner.

That being said, I only managed to keep up with such resolve for the first few days of school. Before I realised it, I had returned to the point I used to be.

The surprisingly same, exact point.

Would I stay like this forever?

It might be so. My designated role in the world had long been predetermined.

I knew that very well.

In the end, someone like me should just stay at where I should be.

The world could not change that.

The world could not be changed.

It couldn't be helped. The world is very, very huge after all.

From the world's perspective, I was but a puny, nano-sized grain.

A puny person like me would be forgotten before I even stepped on the stage.

Yet, a person like me, was still able to discover such a scene.

It was dazzling.

I had never thought I would be able to see something so dazzling.

The very thing I sought in my dreams was gleaming right there in front of me.

I was shocked. Astonished. Could it really exist? I would never have thought.

And then, I remembered the dream I was about to give up.

Perhaps I could actually achieve it now——

No no no, no way. Not with me.

I didn't have the right, nor the worth. I couldn't bring myself to destroy that world.

No no, but...

''But, if I could...''

Ah, impossible, impossible! What was I thinking?

Not with me. No way.

Sounds of tapping and chair creaking interwined rhythmically in the air.

She then picked up a manga. She was probably going to put it down again soon, but she picked it up anyway.

She quickly lifted her head, and looked at the club room door.

"Nagase... Relax."

Yaegashi Taichi said, and Nagase Iori promptly spun her head around.

Her now-long hair streamed through the air, as though each and every smooth strings of her hair were dancing. Taichi felt it would be a perfect shot for a TV advertisement.

"Mwuhat~ Taichi! You made it sound like it like I'm being all fidgety here!"

"...Aren't you? And you bit your tongue just now, didn't you."

"D—Did not."

"Nope, pretty sure you did."

"Taichi is so scary today~! Stop bullying me~!"

Nagase dropped flat on the table and buried her head in her arms.

Her trademark ponytail was no longer to be seen.

The long haired Nagase seemed a lot more mature now, both in appearance and spirit.

However, her cheerful, child-like innocent demeanour had not changed at all. This made Taichi realize once again: That was how Nagase was after all.

"We can't help it Taichi," Aoki said. "After all, we're talking about our first new club member. Not to mention, this is "free-for-all". No questions asked, anyone can come in for a tour."

Aoki, who had his arms crossed behind his head, made a stretch and completely entered relaxed state.

"W—We're still not sure if there's gonna be any new members though!"

Sitting across Aoki, Inaba Himeko responded gingerly.

It is worth mentioning that, Inaba was Taichi's '''girlfriend''', and had been going out with him for over a month.

At the end of that hectic presentation event —as well as <Heartseed>'s "Sentiment Transmission", which ended around the same time— Taichi and Inaba began their relationship as lovers.

As everyone were welcoming a brand new spring, Taichi and Inaba welcomed their own new spring as well.

"You don't want new members, Inaba-chan? Didn't you say you wanted new members yesterday?"

"Well, I did say that... But, if we get one of those loli-face, or cute looking girls, then..."

"...then?"

Aoki inquired, a curious Taichi listened in as well.

"...Wouldn't Taichi, the lolicon and siscon, go after them?!"

''She's worrying over something perculiar again.''

Ever since she and Taichi started going out, Inaba was infected by an odd disease (In Nagase's word: The Dereban Syndrome.) It had been cooling down lately, but there would still be situations like this from time to time.

"Stop worrying yourself like that. And... allow me to clarify that I am neither a lolicon nor a siscon!"

''This is important. No matter how misunderstood, never mistake me for a lolicon. And although I would do anything for my no doubt the ever so adorable sister... I am definitely not a siscon!''

"R—Really?"

Inaba stared at Taichi.

Her semi-long straight, black hair slanted. Her eyebrows pushed together nervously, along with her long eyelashes and attractive facial features, gave her a mature, beautiful aura.

And she seemed to be looking prettier by the day.

However, Taichi couldn't really bring himself to say that out loud quite yet.

"Of course. I mean... I'm starting to prefer the 'mature beauty' type lately... Whenever I see them I'd be like 'That's very cute,' and that confident smile, too, it's... In other words... Inaba is... Er..."

It was certainly an embarrassing situation. Taichi still could not bring himself to look straight at Inaba's face.

"Heya——!" "Wugh——?!"

Someone grabbed his head and forcefully spun his face leftward...

...Towards Inaba's face.

"Why~ Now~ Stop shying away like a little girl, Taichi-kun! Man up, say it in her face!"

The owner of the voice ringing from behind his head was of course, none other than Nagase.

When Taichi and Inaba first started going out, Taichi used to worry that "It might get awkward between them, even for Nagase." However, Nagase's response was "Screw that! Too much hassle!" And they had soon returned to a normal relationship.

So much had happened between them, which was why Taichi was truly grateful that Nagase was willing to remain good friends with him.

...That being said, Taichi wasn't quite sure what he should do right now.

"W—What you mean 'Man up'?! Ack lemme go!" "C'mon! Stop moving your head around. Look at her in the eyes and say it properly!"

Approximately 50 centimeters before him, Inaba was sparkling like a star.

Each time Inaba sparkled, Taichi's heart too, would spike a little.

"What am I suppose to... No, I mean..."

''Why am I still hesitating? Quit running away,'' Taichi prompted himself.

He knew very well what he wanted to say.

"It's alright. I... think Inaba is the prettiest."

Comments like "——Whistle~ Nobody asked you to be that straightforward you know..." followed in the background.

Inaba, on the other hand, seemed surprised. Her eyes widened briefly, and then Inaba beamed innocently as if a little girl who had received lots and lots of sweets.

"......Mnh ❤"

''——Dokun''

Taichi was not sure of why, but he felt his heart started racing uncontrollably.

"Gwah?! This is the destructive power of witnessing 'Dereban' at point-blank...! I can feel the advent of Renaissance within me, wishing Fujishima-san doing all kinds of things to me....!"

Nagase had completely lost it.

"Umm, can you let go of my head now?"

"We'll worry about that later! Comrade Aoki! Is it done?!"

"Yes it is, Comrade Iori-chan! I have recorded the entire scene just now on my phone!"

"Wha— Didn't I say not to do that again before?!"

Taichi protested, but the voice behind him replied:

"Shut up~ Taichi! We've been watching you two being all lovey dovey and going all mushy and cuddly every single day! Where are we going to vent our frustration if you don't let us tease you!"

"It's alright Taichi. After a bit of editing, we'll make it into you two's personal 'Love Diary' and send it to you for present~"

"It is NOT alright, Aoki! Lemme go already Nagase! Ack, Inaba say something!"

"Oh~ Stop it already~ Lovey-dovey~ And love diary too~ It's not like that~"

''Gah, it's no use! Inaba is completely fired up!''

Taichi lamented. There wasn't another sane person left in the room.

"K—Kiriyama! Where is she?! The one who said she'd bring us a new member!"

Taichi called out for his last shred of hope.

Then, amongst the light, Aoki nodded fondly and went "Mmm."

"What's wrong, Aoki?"

"Hm? Oh, I was just thinking 'Taichi has finally gotten into form——' in my head."

"Gotten into form?"

"Well, isn't that because Taichi's been really stubborn today~? Or should I say, the most stubborn one?"

''Stubborn? Me?''

As Taichi was still trying to comprehend their statements, the club room door swung open.

''They're finally here,'' Taichi thought and looked.

At that same moment, Taichi recalled how all of this started yesterday.

However, Taichi couldn't really bring himself to say that out loud quite yet.

"Of course. I mean... I'm starting to prefer the 'mature beauty' type lately... Whenever I see them I'd be like 'That's very cute,' and that confident smile, too, it's... In other words... Inaba is... Er..."

It was certainly an embarrassing situation. Taichi still could not bring himself to look straight at Inaba's face.

"Heya——!" "Wugh——?!"

Someone grabbed his head and forcefully spun his face leftward...

...Towards Inaba's face.

"Why~ Now~ Stop shying away like a little girl, Taichi-kun! Man up, say it in her face!"

The owner of the voice ringing from behind his head was of course, none other than Nagase.

When Taichi and Inaba first started going out, Taichi used to worry that "It might get awkward between them, even for Nagase." However, Nagase's response was "Screw that! Too much hassle!" And they had soon returned to a normal relationship.

So much had happened between them, which was why Taichi was truly grateful that Nagase was willing to remain good friends with him.

...That being said, Taichi wasn't quite sure what he should do right now.

"W—What you mean 'Man up'?! Ack lemme go!" "C'mon! Stop moving your head around. Look at her in the eyes and say it properly!"

Approximately 50 centimeters before him, Inaba was sparkling like a star.

Each time Inaba sparkled, Taichi's heart too, would spike a little.

"What am I suppose to... No, I mean..."

''Why am I still hesitating? Quit running away,'' Taichi prompted himself.

He knew very well what he wanted to say.

"It's alright. I... think Inaba is the prettiest."

Comments like "——Whistle~ Nobody asked you to be that straightforward you know..." followed in the background.

Inaba, on the other hand, seemed surprised. Her eyes widened briefly, and then Inaba beamed innocently as if a little girl who had received lots and lots of sweets.

"......Mnh ❤"

''——Dokun''

Taichi was not sure of why, but he felt his heart started racing uncontrollably.

"Gwah?! This is the destructive power of witnessing 'Dereban' at point-blank...! I can feel the advent of Renaissance within me, wishing Fujishima-san doing all kinds of things to me....!"

Nagase had completely lost it.

"Umm, can you let go of my head now?"

"We'll worry about that later! Comrade Aoki! Is it done?!"

"Yes it is, Comrade Iori-chan! I have completely recorded the scene just now on my phone!"

"Wha— Didn't I say don't do that again before?!"

Taichi protested, and the voice behind him replied:

"Shut up~ Taichi! We've been watching you two being all lovey dovey and going all mushy and cuddly every single day! Where are we going to vent our frustration if you don't let us tease you!"

"It's alright Taichi. After a bit of editing, we'll make it into you two's 'Love Diary' and send it to you for present~"

"It is NOT alright, Aoki! Lemme go already Nagase! Ack, Inaba say something!"

"Oh~ Stop it already~ Lovey-dovey~ And love diary too~ It's not like that~"

''Gah, it's no use! Inaba is completely fired up!''

Taichi lamented. There wasn't another sane person left in the room.

"K—Kiriyama! Where is she?! The one who said she'd bring us a new member!"

Taichi called out for his last shred of hope.

Then, amongst the light, Aoki nodded fondly and went "Mmm."

"What's wrong, Aoki?"

"Hm? Oh, I was just thinking 'Taichi has finally gotten into form——' in my head."

"Gotten into form?"

"Well, isn't that because Taichi's been really stubborn today~? Or should I say, the most stubborn one?"

''Stubborn? Me?''

As Taichi was still trying to comprehend their statements, the club room door swung open.

''They're finally here,'' Taichi though and looked.

At that same moment, Taichi recalled how all of this started yesterday.

Kokoro Connect:Volume 5 Pentagon++

2013-02-12T01:16:16Z

Lantern:

== Pentagon ++ ==

[[Image:Koko_5_00195.jpg|thumb]]

——I failed the entrance exam of the public high school of my choice.

Even though it was supposed to be the best high school around the district, the passing rate for this mock exam was around 80%.

I didn't think that I wasn't good enough. I was just unlucky.

Speaking of which, one of the fellas in my cram class who had far worse performances in school seemed to have been admitted.

Tough luck.

In the end, I enrolled for Yamaboshi Private High School. It was a school with fairly competitive promotion rate; allegedly, its school ethos was supposed to be good as well. That being said, it was bound to be a little upsetting.

It was grey right off the start.

I thought it was quite fitting for me in a sense.

Weren't most people's lives like this too?

...As I was thinking that, a strange, conincidental coincidence coincidentally came forth.

Was it coincidental? Actually, was it predetermined?

Those people I encountered. They gleamed with a certain brightness that irritated me.

So bright it made me feel sick.

I supposed those kind of people did exist after all.

People who gleamed like a fool in this faintly corrupted world.

However, those kind of people were bound to end up like me.

In other words, they would slowly be corrupted. That was how 'normal' supposed to be.

But on rare occasions, there were those who would never be corrupted. I knew that quite well myself.

Those who were born blessed with incredible luck.

Yet I still pondered from time to time.

How would these people end up?

And... Why did I think they were gleaming?

It was unbelievable. It felt puzzling. It felt mysterious. I wanted to know more.

And then perhaps, once I grasped the answer, I could become like that too—— No, not at all.

What nonsense was I thinking?

Of course it wouldn't work out like that.

No way, impossible.

''...But I——wanted to know...''

...Yes, that was it. I merely wanted to know. Nothing more.

I was definitely not feeling envious or antyhing. Definitely not.

Yes, definitely not.

<center>□■□■□</center>

''——I've become high-schooler now. I'm going to change,'' I thought to myself.

This must be what they would call a debut in high school.

Hmm. Debut. I like the sound of that.

I wasn't exactly trying to become anyone brilliant. I knew where my limit lies after all.

However, even just a little, if there was something or someone that I could look up to, I would be really happy.

A world like those in live dramas.

A world like those in mangas.

Freeing myself from the world I knew.

I wouldn't mind even if I weren't the protagonist of that world. I just wanted to become a resident in its corner.

That being said, I only managed to keep up with such resolve for the first few days of school. Before I realised it, I had returned to the point I used to be.

The surprisingly same, exact point.

Would I stay like this forever?

It might be so. My designated role in the world had long been predetermined.

I knew that very well.

In the end, someone like me should just stay at where I should be.

The world could not change that.

The world could not be changed.

It couldn't be helped. The world is very, very huge after all.

From the world's perspective, I was but a puny, nano-sized grain.

A puny person like me would be forgotten before I even stepped on the stage.

Yet, a person like me, was still able to discover such a scene.

It was dazzling.

I had never thought I would be able to see something so dazzling.

The very thing I sought in my dreams was gleaming right there in front of me.

I was shocked. Astonished. Could it really exist? I would never have thought.

And then, I remembered the dream I was about to give up.

Perhaps I could actually achieve it now——

No no no, no way. Not with me.

I didn't have the right, nor the worth. I couldn't bring myself to destroy that world.

No no, but...

''But, if I could...''

Ah, impossible, impossible! What was I thinking?

Not with me. No way.

<center>□■□■□</center>

Sounds of tapping and chair creaking interwined rhythmically in the air.

She then picked up a manga. She was probably going to put it down again soon, but she picked it up anyway.

She quickly lifted her head, and looked at the club room door.

"Nagase... Relax."

Yaegashi Taichi said, and Nagase Iori promptly spun her head around.

Her now-long hair streamed through the air, as though each and every smooth strings of her hair were dancing. Taichi felt it would be a perfect shot for a TV advertisement.

"Mwuhat~ Taichi! You made it sound like it like I'm being all fidgety here!"

"...Aren't you? And you bit your tongue just now, didn't you."

"D—Did not."

"Nope, pretty sure you did."

"Taichi is so scary today~! Stop bullying me~!"

Nagase dropped flat on the table and buried her head in her arms.

Her trademark ponytail was no longer to be seen.

The long haired Nagase seemed a lot more mature now, both in appearance and spirit.

However, her cheerful, child-like innocent demeanour had not changed at all. This made Taichi realize once again: That was how Nagase was after all.

"We can't help it Taichi," Aoki said. "After all, we're talking about our first new club member. Not to mention, this is "free-for-all". No questions asked, anyone can come in for a tour."

Aoki, who had his arms crossed behind his head, made a stretch and completely entered relaxed state.

"W—We're still not sure if there's gonna be any new members though!"

Sitting across Aoki, Inaba Himeko responded gingerly.

It is worth mentioning that, Inaba was Taichi's '''girlfriend''', and had been going out with him for over a month.

At the end of that hectic presentation event —as well as <Heartseed>'s "Sentiment Transmission", which ended around the same time— Taichi and Inaba began their relationship as lovers.

As everyone were welcoming a brand new spring, Taichi and Inaba welcomed their own new spring as well.

"You don't want new members, Inaba-chan? Didn't you say you wanted new members yesterday?"

"Well, I did say that... But, if we get one of those loli-face, or cute looking girls, then..."

"...then?"

Aoki inquired, a curious Taichi listened in as well.

"...Wouldn't Taichi, the lolicon and siscon, go after them?!"

''She's worrying over something perculiar again.''

Ever since she and Taichi started going out, Inaba was infected by an odd disease (In Nagase's word: The Dereban Syndrome.) It had been cooling down lately, but there would still be situations like this from time to time.

"Stop worrying yourself like that. And... allow me to clarify that I am neither a lolicon nor a siscon!"

''This is important. No matter how misunderstood, never mistake me for a lolicon. And although I would do anything for my no doubt the ever so adorable sister... I am definitely not a siscon!''

"R—Really?"

Inaba stared at Taichi.

Her semi-long straight, black hair slanted. Her eyebrows pushed together nervously, along with her long eyelashes and attractive facial features, gave her a mature, beautiful aura.

And she seemed to be looking prettier by the day.

However, Taichi couldn't really bring himself to say that out loud quite yet.

"Of course. I mean... I'm starting to prefer the 'mature beauty' type lately... Whenever I see them I'd be like 'That's very cute,' and that confident smile, too, it's... In other words... Inaba is... Er..."

It was certainly an embarrassing situation. Taichi still could not bring himself to look straight at Inaba's face.

"Heya——!" "Wugh——?!"

Someone grabbed his head and forcefully spun his face leftward...

...Towards Inaba's face.

"Why~ Now~ Stop shying away like a little girl, Taichi-kun! Man up, say it in her face!"

The owner of the voice ringing from behind his head was of course, none other than Nagase.

When Taichi and Inaba first started going out, Taichi used to worry that "It might get awkward between them, even for Nagase." However, Nagase's response was "Screw that! Too much hassle!" And they had soon returned to a normal relationship.

So much had happened between them, which was why Taichi was truly grateful that Nagase was willing to remain good friends with him.

...That being said, Taichi wasn't quite sure what he should do right now.

"W—What you mean 'Man up'?! Ack lemme go!" "C'mon! Stop moving your head around. Look at her in the eyes and say it properly!"

Approximately 50 centimeters before him, Inaba was sparkling like a star.

Each time Inaba sparkled, Taichi's heart too, would spike a little.

"What am I suppose to... No, I mean..."

''Why am I still hesitating? Quit running away,'' Taichi prompted himself.

He knew very well what he wanted to say.

"It's alright. I... think Inaba is the prettiest."

Comments like "——Whistle~ Nobody asked you to be that straightforward you know..." followed in the background.

Inaba, on the other hand, seemed surprised. Her eyes widened briefly, and then Inaba beamed innocently as if a little girl who had received lots and lots of sweets.

"......Mnh ❤"

''——Dokun''

Taichi was not sure of why, but he felt his heart started racing uncontrollably.

"Gwah?! This is the destructive power of witnessing 'Dereban' at point-blank...! I can feel the advent of Renaissance within me, wishing Fujishima-san doing all kinds of things to me....!"

Nagase had completely lost it.

"Umm, can you let go of my head now?"

"We'll worry about that later! Comrade Aoki! Is it done?!"

"Yes it is, Comrade Iori-chan! I have completely recorded the scene just now on my phone!"

"Wha— Didn't I say don't do that again before?!"

Taichi protested, and the voice behind him replied:

"Shut up~ Taichi! We've been watching you two being all lovey dovey and going all mushy and cuddly every single day! Where are we going to vent our frustration if you don't let us tease you!"

"It's alright Taichi. After a bit of editing, we'll make it into you two's 'Love Diary' and send it to you for present~"

"It is NOT alright, Aoki! Lemme go already Nagase! Ack, Inaba say something!"

"Oh~ Stop it already~ Lovey-dovey~ And love diary too~ It's not like that~"

''Gah, it's no use! Inaba is completely fired up!''

Taichi lamented. There wasn't another sane person left in the room.

"K—Kiriyama! Where is she?! The one who said she'd bring us a new member!"

Taichi called out for his last shred of hope.

Then, amongst the light, Aoki nodded fondly and went "Mmm."

"What's wrong, Aoki?"

"Hm? Oh, I was just thinking 'Taichi has finally gotten into form——' in my head."

"Gotten into form?"

"Well, isn't that because Taichi's been really stubborn today~? Or should I say, the most stubborn one?"

''Stubborn? Me?''

As Taichi was still trying to comprehend their statements, the club room door swung open.

''They're finally here,'' Taichi though and looked.

At that same moment, Taichi recalled how all of this started yesterday.

Kokoro Connect:Registration Page

2013-01-09T00:36:26Z

Lantern:

To re-iterate the registration procedure:

*You are required to register which chapters you wish to work on. One portion of text per translator, please.

*Registration is on a "First Come, First Served" basis. Please register your intended chapters on the project's registration page.

*Maximum number of translators per volume is two, unless the volume is a collection of smaller stories. Another way to interpret this is no more than two translators should be working on the same "story arc".

*Translators may only register for portions of one volume at a time within each project. This is to prevent "biting off more than you can chew".

*The Registration page is not a binding contract, and translators are encouraged to negotiate between themselves which portions to register for.

*Anonymous Translated Contributions are required to inform [[User:Thelastguardian|thelastguardian]] and the designated Project Supervisor of the intend Chapters as shown on the corresponding Registration page before any major contribution.

*Portions that are not updated for a significant time may be taken over by another translator after getting permission from the Project Supervisor. The new translator is encouraged to start over to maintain consistency, but the old translation will not be deleted at least until the new translation is finished (and probably not for some time after that).

Lantern: /* Kokoro Connect */

Code-Zero won't be back for a few days due to personal reasons. Also, let Akuma know that you're taking over. Just to be sure, your translating from Japanese, right? I'll see if I can reach Code-Zero, so just standby for now. --[[User:Hiro Hayase|Hiro Hayase]] 12:41, 7 April 2012 (CDT)

Alright, I can wait. And yes, I'm translating from Japanese. I'll contact Akuma now and tell him to see what he thinks. --[[User:Eternal Dreamer|Eternal Dreamer]] 12:44, 7 April 2012 (CDT)

== Greetings ==

Hi there E-D =P im glad that you will be picking up HSDxD, and i wanted to let you know that because you picked up after akuma you made happy more than 4000 people =P.
I do not know how to read japanese but i know its hard to translate things, so i wanted to thank you for doing it.

PD: and as you can guess we all can hardly wait for vol 4 of HSDxd :)

----------------------------
Thanks! Hey there, i wanted to thank you for helping out in HighSchool DxD novel! i was really sad since akuma decided to stop translating it, thank you so much for picking it up!! and im sure that there are thousands of fans that are happy because of this, i get to know about you since i asked akuma if someone was taking over.
You should go to and register the vol 4 to follow the policy of the web.

==High School DxD==

Use Chaos Brigade instead of Khaos Brigade. That is the standardized name to use for this project for now. --[[User:Hiro Hayase|Hiro Hayase]] 20:13, 12 April 2012 (CDT)

Understood. I wasn't sure since the chapter title spelled it that way, but it makes sense, since it's probably just a misspell on the author's part. --[[User:Eternal Dreamer|Eternal Dreamer]] 21:09, 12 April 2012 (CDT)

Greetings Eternal Dreamer-san.About the last sentence in this paragraph (High School DxD volume 5 life 2 part 2): 
"Within my field of vision, a table still safely remained in a corner of the hall and elegant-looking family servant devils could be seen. In the center of these gentle-looking male devils…were people covered in weird-looking food." 
I think it's "''In the center of these gentle-looking male devils...was a person eating a weird-looking food.''"But as food can be interpreted either as something that is eaten or drunk,the last part of the sentence can also changed to "''...was a person drinking tea.''" (omitting the ''weird-looking'' part to be consistent with part 3 where Diodora Astaroth introduce himself.) Does this sounds better? 
Also,about Hyoudo Issei's internal monologue:"''—! Seriously!? Number 1!? As in the strongest!>=?''" Does the '''>=''' part intentional? Or can I change it to "''—! Seriously!? Number 1!? As in the strongest!?''" ? 
In part 3 there were "''What’s more, everyone was a distinguished-looking devil on the level above that.''." Imo,shouldn't it changed to "''What’s more,there were distinguished-looking devils on the level above that.''"? 
For the second one,there's "''Saji was also proudly listening to Buchou’s dream.''",can it be changed to "''Saji was also proudly listening to Kaichou’s dream.''"? 
And lastly there is "''Rias, Sona, would you not like to fight each other?''" to "''Rias, Sona, won't you like to fight each other?''". 
If it's okay with you,I'll go with the change.Sorry for my lengthy questions.--[[User:User753|User753]]-[[User talk:User753|Talk]]- 11:11, 28 May 2012 (CDT)

For the first thing, please change it if you think so. I was really unsure and stuck with that section with the food, and I honestly think your interpretation makes more sense, so go ahead

Second part is just a mistype on my part, please feel free to change it. (Sadly, I'm told that I type too fast sometimes.)

Third part, I think either one makes sense, but yours sounds better as a sentence, so please change it if you want.

Last part, I think the original is better. (The more formal phrasing of "would you not" just seems more grammatically correct and sounds better in this context.

Anyway, thank you very much for asking me about this. I appreciate that you took the time to ask me, unlike others, who simply make significant changes as they wish. If you ever feel that other corrections are necessary, please feel free to contact me again like this. --[[User:Eternal Dreamer|Eternal Dreamer]] 13:17, 28 May 2012 (CDT)

Copy that.Thank you for your permission.Well,this is a community,and it will be rude if I made a change that will change the meaning without asking the translator(learnt my lesson when I tries to edit AW vol 1 chapter 5 pv without asking,he he,silly me.).Until next time then.--[[User:User753|User753]]-[[User talk:User753|Talk]]- 17:26, 28 May 2012 (CDT)

Umm...Sorry to intrude again(missing your note on part 3,as the rest are correct,imho.).This time it's a discussion about this one "''The Leviathan-sama in question was in a refreshingly pissed off mood.''" Refreshingly can also mean "pleasantly new/different" (remembering that in Life 1 Serafall Leviathan is acting like a magical girl and such),compared to "surprisingly" I think it's way better.Well,in case you are wondering.--[[User:User753|User753]]-[[User talk:User753|Talk]]- 18:10, 28 May 2012 (CDT)

Ah, that part. Actually, I was pretty much guessing on the word "refreshingly", since I only half-understood the Japanese word used there プンスカ. I also think surprisingly would work better here, though, so change it if you wish. At the very least, the sentence would make more sense. --[[User:Eternal Dreamer|Eternal Dreamer]] 18:17, 28 May 2012 (CDT)

Just a quick question.....whenever you, or if its even you, is finished translating Volume 5, will there be a PDF Direct Link like the first 4 volumes? Thanks for all the hard work. -Adamkombat

Yes, I'm the one translating, and yes, it will naturally be put in PDF format when the entire volume is done. The project members do that automatically, regardless.

Hey sorry if I came across rude it wasn't my intention. I really appreciate the hardwork you put into this.-Adamkombat

== THAAAAAAAAAAANKS!!! ==

WOOOO, thank you so much for translating HSDXD!!! i was waiting for life 5 for a some time now!! thanks again!!

(Bjosx) Thank you so much I'm obsessed with highschool dxd and was starting to suffer from withdrawal symptoms and then you came ty ty ty!!!

I just read DxD volume 4 and had a good laugh. I can't wait to read volume 5. Thanks a lot for translating it. --[[User:MaerisCrisis|MaerisCrisis]] 13:12, 28 April 2012 (CDT)

Nice work translating the lasts chapters of Vol. 4. I hope see you in another project. I suggest you check the Teaser Projects or just pick one of your list (ej. Accel World). Anyways keep your translating skills on shape and check the editors corrections/suggestions on your translations in order to improve. --[[User:Braiam|Braiam]] 14:08, 28 April 2012 (CDT)

Thanks. I'm actually working on Vol 5 of Highschool DxD now (I've already uploaded a redone version of Life 0), though I definitely intend to branch out to other projects like Accel World. (That one especially, since the translation seems to be slow-going and the anime already started.) And of course, I'll continue to try and improve my translating skills with the help of the people on this site. --[[User:Eternal Dreamer|Eternal Dreamer]] 14:21, 28 April 2012 (CDT)

== Thanks, and you have a website? ==

Hi there eternal dreamer, thanks for translating HSDXD. I wanted ask you if you have any website or blog were you upload your translations, or do you translate and upload them directly to bakatsuki??

THanks again!

I upload them directly, since I don't really see a need to upload them anywhere else. This is the most widely-known site for light novel translations, after all. --[[User:Eternal Dreamer|Eternal Dreamer]] 20:11, 24 April 2012 (CDT)

(Bjosx) I personally quite a few hours looking for good highschool DxD light novel translations and as far as i can tell this is the only place on the internet

thanks for the hard work translating DxD for all the people who can't read japanese/chinese! you're awesome and keep up the good work.

(Bjosx) Eternal Dreamer do you know how many pages were in the first Highschool DxD light novel?

About 298 pages in total. Why? --[[User:Eternal Dreamer|Eternal Dreamer]] 07:32, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

(Bjosx) because i'm doing a reading assignment and that is one of the books so I needed to know that.

Do you have an account on the forums? --[[User:Pryun|Pryun]] - [[User_talk:Pryun|Talk]] 09:20, 20 October 2012 (CDT)

== Thank you ==

I know (and can see) that I'm not the first conveying my gratitude to you for picking up these untranslated early volumes of HSDxD, but I feel obligued to thank you for that, so, thank you very much. --[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] 11:28, 4 July 2012 (CDT)

== Estimated time for completion ==

Hi. First of all, thanks a lot for your awesome work. Thanks to you I can appreciate this wonderful series. I have a question: do you have an estimated date for finishing the translation of volume 5? Please, don't take this as trying to make you translate faster or anything, it's just curiosity (and the fact that i am going on vacations and need to know if i am going to need my broadband wireless modem or not XD). Again, thanks for your awesome work, and keep it up ;)

Thank you for your appreciation. As for when Vol 5 will be completed, that's still a bit hard to gauge. Right now, 50 percent of the entire volume has been completed, but the way I translate is slow compared to others. I'm trying to finish it within two weeks at the very latest and am aiming to finish it by next week, but it all depends on how much free time I have. I hope this answers your question. --[[User:Eternal Dreamer|Eternal Dreamer]] 12:17, 5 July 2012 (CDT)

Thanks for your response. It does answer all my questions, thank you. By the way, don't worry in finishing the translation fast, because I really enjoy the quality and fluency of your translations (some translations have sentences whose phrasing I can't even understand), and I prefer to wait a month for just a chapter with the quality of your translations than have a whole volume translated in just 2-3 days with a lukewarm-quality translation (I'm not criticizing Code-Zero, because i really like his translations too). Best regards, and keep up the good work.

== Thanks ==

Thanks for picking up Volume five on high school DxD I had finished volume four and after seeing volume five was not done was resign to not being able to finish it. I had tried to figure out how to translate myself but couldn't find any sources.

Sorry, I was busy in real life for the past two weeks, so I couldn't translate. However, now that I'm free again, I intend to quickly translate the rest of volume 5. I should finish uploading everything by next Monday at the latest. --[[User:Eternal Dreamer|Eternal Dreamer]] ([[User talk:Eternal Dreamer#top|talk]]) 06:57, 15 August 2012 (CDT)

==Accel World==

I really hope you decide to translate some Accel World Volumes after translations of DxD.

Yes, I do intend to head over to Accel World section once I'm finished High School DxD, considering how slowed down the translation of it has become. However, I'll be entering university in less than a month, so what translation pace I can keep up after that is still up in the air. --[[User:Eternal Dreamer|Eternal Dreamer]] ([[User talk:Eternal Dreamer#top|talk]]) 07:19, 16 August 2012 (CDT)

Sorry, I have been busy lately and haven't had time to check on stuff. Welcome, if you can help finish volume 1, that would be great. [[User:Xplorer30|Xplorer30]] - [[User_talk:Xplorer30|Talk]] 14:33, 22 August 2012 (CDT)

Feel free to do any improvements you can for volume 1. I was going to get back to it eventually after volume 4, but life caught up to me. [[User:Xplorer30|Xplorer30]] - [[User_talk:Xplorer30|Talk]] 15:11, 22 August 2012 (CDT)

If you can, a full revamp of volume 1 chapter 5 and 6 would be appreciated. We make do with whatever help we can get, but if possible, we would like to have it as close to the Japanese source as we can help it. [[User:Xplorer30|Xplorer30]] - [[User_talk:Xplorer30|Talk]] 20:12, 22 August 2012 (CDT)

I haven't thought of it, but that might be a good idea about adding yourself to the chapter translation credit since you are going to change the meaning a lot. Normally changing meaning of a translation require some explanation, and this will probably stop anyone from wondering what you were doing. [[User:Xplorer30|Xplorer30]] - [[User_talk:Xplorer30|Talk]] 21:40, 22 August 2012 (CDT)

Everything in Accel World should be 3rd person in Haruyuki's Point of View. When "I" is used, those are direct thoughts that I usually just put in single quotes, which Zero2001 will later change to italics if he want. Normally, the author preceed direct thoughts with dashes --, but sometimes he doesn't. [[User:Xplorer30|Xplorer30]] - [[User_talk:Xplorer30|Talk]] 16:19, 23 August 2012 (CDT)

Hi E-D, I tried to look at your chapter and I think I saw you used some terms differently like <対戦> but since it is a fighting game, Xplorer has been using "Duel" for it and anything else follows. We can have editors change it but you can see some of it [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Accel_World:Names_and_Terminology_Guideline here] for future reference. Also, if you want to discuss changes, we can make a thread for it on the forums. --[[User:Lan013|Lan013]] ([[User talk:Lan013|talk]]) 02:16, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

It's up to you if you're not bothered with it. (In my case, I put page numbers to not lose track since I translate slow.) The problem is... we somehow don't have editors who can check raws. lol. --[[User:Lan013|Lan013]] ([[User talk:Lan013|talk]]) 07:36, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

Uhmm my post above was about your question "''Also, just for future reference, would you prefer if I put chapters pages in chapter text like Xplorer does, to make it easier for editors?''". :) --[[User:Lan013|Lan013]] ([[User talk:Lan013|talk]]) 09:34, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

Thank you for finishing volume 1 so quickly. About the page numbers, they are just in case of rare translator/editor that want to do edits, and partly for myself to keep track when questions come up. It is your choice whether to put them in or not. [[User:Xplorer30|Xplorer30]] - [[User_talk:Xplorer30|Talk]] 20:39, 5 September 2012 (CDT)

All I can say for advice is try to use the same [[Accel_World:Names_and_Terminology_Guideline|terms]] if we can. We can also talk about the ones that need changing. As for those ' use by the author, they are emphasis, which I used to put in italics. But since Zero2001 changed Haruyuki's thought speeches to italics, I now use '''bold''' for those words. Just place three single quotes surrounding those words will do. [[User:Xplorer30|Xplorer30]] - [[User_talk:Xplorer30|Talk]] 15:31, 8 September 2012 (CDT)

As I put in the terms page, I used 心意 by itself as Mind Power. If you can find something better maybe we can switch. When the whole thing is spelled out I use Incarnate System as usual. [[User:Xplorer30|Xplorer30]] - [[User_talk:Xplorer30|Talk]] 14:28, 11 September 2012 (CDT)

Hmm, you are right about it not being too clear in the terms page, so I fixed it. Maybe I had put my usage explanation for it in the chapter instead. [[User:Xplorer30|Xplorer30]] - [[User_talk:Xplorer30|Talk]] 15:11, 11 September 2012 (CDT)

This is just an anon posting, but could you perhaps translate the author's notes of volume 3? It's not very long (I think) and there are many people that enjoy reading Reki's comments.

I'll have to ask Xplorer30 first, since he registered for that. If he agrees, I don't mind doing it. --[[User:Eternal Dreamer|Eternal Dreamer]] ([[User talk:Eternal Dreamer#top|talk]]) 19:36, 16 September 2012 (CDT)

I was holding off doing the volume 3 author notes till someone edit my vol 3 ch 13. But that doesn't seem too likely, so I will probably just finish it soonish. [[User:Xplorer30|Xplorer30]] - [[User_talk:Xplorer30|Talk]] 15:30, 17 September 2012 (CDT)

Hmm, I find Incarnate way more awkward to use when it does not have a System attached to it. I do admit that Mind Power is a bit simple, but it was all I could think of at that time. If you can suggest a better word that is not Incarnate, I will be willing to consider it. [[User:Xplorer30|Xplorer30]] - [[User_talk:Xplorer30|Talk]] 16:30, 11 October 2012 (CDT)

Do you know how many places 心意 is used? Sticking Incarnate in those places will make those sentences a total mess. Re-read Sky Raker's explanation before the Incarnate System spelling is used. It is also the author's term there too, non-English version. [[User:Xplorer30|Xplorer30]] - [[User_talk:Xplorer30|Talk]] 00:47, 12 October 2012 (CDT)

If Incarnate can fit in the sentence without people mistaking it, go ahead and use it. 射程距離拡張 (Range Expansion) - this one I might perfer if you add Attack Range Expansion. The rest seem ok, add them to the terms page if they get used a lot. [[User:Xplorer30|Xplorer30]] - [[User_talk:Xplorer30|Talk]] 07:24, 12 October 2012 (CDT)

Thank you for continuing to translate Accel World! -Toble007 4:52, 12 October 2012 (CDT)

Do you plan to continue translating AW after volume 4? My translation pace is slow and random. So to avoid blocking your progress, I want to check with your plans first. [[User:Xplorer30|Xplorer30]] - [[User_talk:Xplorer30|Talk]] 19:32, 31 October 2012 (CDT)

That's fine with me if you are willing to translate vol 5 later. Your speed is a lot faster than mine. I will just keep reading and maybe head to vol 6.

== Kokoro Connect ==
No worries, my translation is far from perfect. Personally, I prefer minimal edits, and as you're not an editor in the project, I'd hope you wouldn't make much major edits. If you want to, you could add a note beside the sentence for a better version, which will be reviewed, either by the editor or the translator. Once again, thank you for helping with the project. To be honest, I'm quite loyal to my own translations, so if it's really a big change or one that will alter the meaning, I'll be doing edit reverts and the like. I'm not that sensitive to grammar, especially with tenses, so grammar corrections are more than pleasing. Most spelling mistakes derive from my typing or laggy computer though. - Pudding321

I just noticed the 'feint' thing, so I guess I should make a remark on that too. The passage vaguely puts something like Taichi depended on his 'will and spirit' to achieve it; however, it is clearly said before that Taichi forced his will and spirit out. It is totally unconvincing as why the writer would tell the readers all Taichi did before in volume 1 (the first arc) was all fake, but that's how Taichi thinks of it. His spirit and determination was not what he really thinks, it's just what he tried to pretend in front of those girls to make himself and of course those girls feel better. Now that they are having another problem, Taichi knew well that he needed to do something else to solve the problem. That's why in the sentence Taichi have to think up of a more creative way. - Pudding321

It's fine. I understand what you're trying to point out. As a matter of fact, I'm a bit skeptical of my own usage of words too, as you can see I'm trying to experiment with new words and expressions to hone my craft and skills in writing. I hope this doesn't stop you from helping with the editing work in the project. It would be deplorable if it was of my cause. Anyway, it is better not to be too blunt to most translators, as they do tend to have fragile egos. - Pudding321

Oh. I've messed them up too many times already I've lost count. I'm still confused with those Japanese names. Basically, Nagase is used in description and Iori in dialogue. The same goes for Kiriyama and Yui, but Yui is only referred in dialogue sometimes by the girls. Inaba is always Inaba, save Inaban which is only referred by Nagase. I'm going with 'Surname - Name'. That is, Inaba Himeko, Yaegashi Taichi, Kiriyama Yui, Nagase Iori, and Aoki Yoshifumi. There may be exceptions, but that's basically it. - Pudding321

- I'd also like to add that character names　(especially for Nagase/Iori and Kiriyama/Yui) in narrative is dependant on whose perspective it is. Since you guys are talking about early chapters of Kizu Random here, most of the narratives are done through Taichi's perspective, but some parts of the later chapters have snips of Inaba's point of view narratives. Just a heads up. - [[User:Lantern|Lantern]] ([[User_Talk:Lantern|Talk]])

Hi!
I don´t know how I can do it, but I started translating Utsuro no Hako from english to an alternative language - my language - slovak.
I don´t know how to publish it here, though. So it´s just translation for myself for now. Maybe I´ll give it up in no time, because I´m lazy. :P

==Alternate Language Project==
To get the approval for the project you have to create the project page (a the translation of the original project page into your language), a registration page, and add at least one translated chapter. Also you'll need a discusssion thread in the alternate language section in the forum for your project. --[[User:Darklor|Darklor]] 05:36, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello hello.

Sorry I been occupied and slow. Sorting out RL. I cannot give any promise on an exact date, but the rest of the volumes will be translated. This is a long term project and I have absolutely no intention of dropping out.

Clip Time will be translated although only the main event short story aka Pentagon++ is planned atm (I don't plan on translating the other short stories as they have very minor significance to the main plot, until we catch up with the main story that is available in Chinese translation as we are all Chinese to English translators with a bit of Japanese to help.) After Pentagon, it's either Kizu depending on how far Pudding has gotten or me continuing with Nise.
