Baka-Tsuki Translation Community

About Us

Baka-Tsuki (BT) is a fan translation community that hosts translations for light novels in the Wiki format. Founded in 2006 by Thelastguardian (初代 - 2006-2016), Baka-Tsuki has since expanded to become the largest fan-based English light novel agglomerate on the Internet. Apart from physically hosting 261 projects in 29 different languages, Baka-Tsuki aims to promote the popularity of light novels and serve as a hub to connect readers with fan translations of East Asian light novels on the Internet. Baka-Tsuki is not a translation group. Independent translators come to Baka-Tsuki and voluntarily upload their translations to the Wiki for public sharing. Baka-Tsuki does not control what translators choose to translate or how fast they translate. Do not ask when the next chapter will be updated. Read More

News & Announcements

23 January 2015 'Forum issues. All site tracks returns positive, forum login issues' Raise your hands. We need the spirit bomb. To keep this issue short, the two most important figures of Baka-Tsuki have gone AWOL, one to Destiny, and another to a world beyond tomorrow. The site tracker returns positive for every single email address, including gmail. Thus, changing of passwords and surfing the forums is a non-option at this point. Unfortunately, TLG hasn't been around, and we're still trying to contact him. --Teh Ping (talk) 19:12, 22 January 2015 (CST)

12 June 2014 Baka-Tsuki Sidebar Revamp

Well, now for a series of controversial changes

Currently, I have removed most of the series on the sidebar to avoid overstacking on the 114 main series we have on the wiki. All of the top 30 are based on my personal opinion, and the list may be updated according to the shown popularity of the series
For all the remaining series on the sidebar, click on the 'Main Projects' function and search accordingly
Note that there are some series in the completed section, series like Oreimo and ToraDora.
We also added a random English project function, so any bored soul who has no idea on what to read can click on the random tag under the 'network' tab to randomly choose a series.
Keep calm and keep reading.

1 April 2014 Commencing deletion of entire SAO project.

(Note, despite the date, this is not a joke.)
The first SAO English volume by Yen Press will be released this month, so the deletion for the project will commence within 24 hours. First 6 volumes have been neutralized, so all remaining content (including Progressive) will be taken off this wiki.

31 March 2014 1st Patriotic National Baka-Tsuki Elite Oligarchy Comrade Congress of the Common People (PNB-TEOCCCP) was held on the 30th of March, 2014!

To arrest, execute and promote fellow Party Members and perhaps resolve issues with dissidents and bugs on the wiki and forum for the improvement of our glorious wiki-communist state.

You may read the transcript of OUR BIG BOSS, THE DEAR LEADER, Thelastguardian and insignificant attending comrade B-T elite members on the current topics and issues discussed:

1st Patriotic National Baka-Tsuki Elite Oligarchy Comrade Congress of the Common People

16 September 2013 Hidan no Aria has been officially released as a digital Light Novel by DMG, therefore HnA Project has been officially abandoned.

I wish to thank all the B-T staff and contributors for helping to bringing this fantastic light novel series to the English speaking, western hemisphere! Alternative Language Projects of HnA will continue to be supported until an official release of HnA within their alternative language specific countries or region.
