Arakure Chp 55 Translation

K3

It’s the second to last chapter of Arakure.  At last it’s revealed that Sachie is a Yakuza princess, and her best friend’s mother can’t handle it.  What’s poor Sachie going to do?  This part of the story is pretty standard, dare I even say perfunctory — well, let’s just get it over with.  There’s also some nice moments with Rakuto 🙂 Link to Arakure Chp 55 I probably won’t be able to get to the last chapter of Arakure until after the long Thanksgiving holiday.  Sorry!  I promise, though, it will be worth the wait :). For those of you … Continue reading Arakure Chp 55 Translation

Ouran Chp 76 Translation

K3

Update (11/29/2009):  Prompted by a comment on Mangafox, I took another look at the original Japanese on pg 27.   I originally translated Tamaki’s intent as him wanting to understand his grandmother.  However, after consulting a grammar reference, I see it’s the other way around.  He wants to be acknowledged by his grandmother so she can understand his point of view.  Consequently, I have re-translated page 27 and updated the file to version 1.  Sorry for the error, but I’m grateful to have had it pointed out :).  It helps a lot to improves my skills.—————————————————— I’m sorry to report the … Continue reading Ouran Chp 76 Translation

Arakure Chp 54 Translation

K3

Here’s Arakure Chp 54.  This marks the beginning of the end of the series and contains the moment we’ve all been waiting for.  In the next chapter, Sachie is forced to come clean about her “family” which causes some difficulties with her best friend’s mother.  The last chapter, nicely wraps things up with Sachie’s graduation.  I’m very pleased with the thoughtful way this manga series ends. Link to Arakure Chp 54 I should get chapter 55 done before Ouran 76 is released.  I doubt, though, that I will be able to squeeze out the last chapter before Ouran.  I have … Continue reading Arakure Chp 54 Translation

New Manga Trial: Morie Satoshi’s "Love Sick"

K3

Here’s the first chapter of Morie Satoshi’s “Love Sick.”  This manga didn’t hook me, but since I completely translated the chapter, I figured I should go ahead and scanlate it so you all can read it too and give some feedback.  Please, forgive me for any typos because I only did one quick proofread myself since this is just a trial.  I will not be scanlating this series because it’s not very interesting to me.  However, if you are interested, perhaps having the first chapter already translated will help you petition another scanlation group.Link to Morie Satoshi’s “Love Sick” Sick … Continue reading New Manga Trial: Morie Satoshi’s "Love Sick"

Arakure Chp 53 Translation

K3

Here’s Arakure Chp 53.  And with this chapter we come to the end of the very short Kyoto arc.  In this chapter Sachie shows her resolve.  I like this chapter a lot because it shows when two people are in love, they will do whatever it takes to be together.  Love doesn’t always have to be a sacrifice or painful. Link to Chp 53 (11/13/2009 version 2) I’m going to take a little break to take a look at some of the options for my next project.  I figured the best thing to do is to translate and post the … Continue reading Arakure Chp 53 Translation

Arakure Volume 7 (Chp 34 – 38) — Words Can’t do Justice

K3

Words can’t do Arakure volume 7 justice, so I’m not even going to try to write a summary in detail.  It really is a volume you should buy. Chapter 34 Kazuya likes Miho and intends to confess to her, but Miho likes Rakuto.  Kazuya now hates Rakuto.  Meanwhile the teachers are pressuring Rakuto and Sachie to choose a career path. Back to Kazuya:  he decides to find Rakuto’s weakness and expose it.  In passing, Rakuto congratulates Takaya (Sachie’s class president and the son of the police detective) for winning the  election and becoming the next Student Body President.  Kazuya hears … Continue reading Arakure Volume 7 (Chp 34 – 38) — Words Can’t do Justice

Arakure Volume 6 (Chp 30 – 33) Summaries

K3

Chapter 30  The chapter begins with Azuma complaining to himself about what Sachie told Rakuto (“I guess it’s not so bad if it means you’ll always be around”) and thinks Sachie, in so many words, has confessed to Rakuto.  Meanwhile a pudgy guy name Tataki Yoichi and his son show up and ask the gang for money to help save their restaurant.  Apparently, in his younger years, the pudgy guy used to be a skinny and very skilled burglar.  He left the gang to buy a house and open a restaurant with his wife.  Anyhow, Tataki’s wife died a few … Continue reading Arakure Volume 6 (Chp 30 – 33) Summaries
