Arakure Chp 51 Translation

K3

Here’s Arakure Chapter 51.  This is a bittersweet chapter and Azuma fans should get out a couple of hankies.  I like manga like this in which the main character has two excellent choices for a mate.  It’s always sad when the choice is finally made, but at the same time it’s satisfying because we the reader know it’s destiny.  I think this is the way life as humans.  Love is a train.  Whether the person knows or not, there are always more than one person in love with them and when that person settles on someone, the train of other … Continue reading Arakure Chp 51 Translation

Arakure Chp 50 Translation

K3

It’s the chapter we’ve all been waiting for.  Oh, why can’t Tamaki be this brave and honest?  Anyhow, this is simply a lovely chapter, so I hope you all enjoy it. Link to Arakure Chp 50 The next chapter will cover the sad aftermath for Azuma.  I really do feel sorry for him because he’s a good guy, and he did what was best for Sachie’s happiness instead of his own. Anyhow, I’m gonna take a couple days off from translating to catch up on some housework and work on my other projects.  There are 6 chapters left in Arakure, … Continue reading Arakure Chp 50 Translation

Ouran Chp 75 Translation

Hooray for Sapphire Pyro and Narmeen!  They did the proofreading while I was asleep last night, so the scanlation is ready :)! Link to Ouran Chp 75 (Retired)(version 2.1 11/25/2009 — updated for continuity with chp 76 flashbacks) This chapter is very important, but at the same time, it’s a bummer because it ends on such a low note.  However, I believe the situation is set for a hug or a kiss in the next chapter…heheheh…I’ll write more about what clues I see in few days after enough people read the chapter. FYI:  Chp 76 will be out in Japanese … Continue reading Ouran Chp 75 Translation

Update 10/25/2009:  The Ouran Chp 75 scanlation is almost done.

I will summarize the chapter on Twitter as I go.  My twitter feed is in the right side bar of this blog, … Continue reading I have Ouran chp 75

Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen Chp 13 Scanlation

K3

Here’s chp 13 of “Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen.” After taking a second look at the Johanne’s sister name, I decided that “Maria Magdalena” was a closer fit.  In chp 13 everyone refers to her by the nickname “Magdal.”  I have gone back and changed this in chp 12 as well. Anyhow, Daniel makes a second appearance!  He’s so precious :). Here is version 2 after some great proofreading and editing from Sapphire Pyro.—————– Update 10/16/2010:   Corrected the translation of the conversation between Claspel and Joshua — more cleaning up Anna’s backstory.  (New eyes after a year of learning makes a … Continue reading Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen Chp 13 Scanlation

Arakure Chp 47 Translation

K3

Here’s Arakure Chp 47.  At the expense of his own feelings, Azuma finally “mans-up” in order to push Sachie and Rakuto together.  Unfortunately, it’s gonna take a few chapters for Sachie to sort out her feelings.  I think this chapter is okay, though, I don’t understand why the mangaka acts as though Rakuto has never told Azuma how he feels about Sachie.  It came up when Azuma found the New Years card and Rakuto told Azuma that if he confessed to Sachie, then he “wouldn’t be able to stop.”  It also seemed weird that Azuma is shocked by the appearance … Continue reading Arakure Chp 47 Translation
