Arakure Chp 46 Translation

http://omaris-sister.blogspot.com/2010/02/wild-ones-arakure-volume-9-is-out-from.htmlHere’s Arakure chapter 46. Link to Arakure Chp 46 So … I don’t want to give away what happens, but there’s significance in Japanese culture about what name you call a person by and it comes into play in this chapter.  People are called by their first name only by family and really close friends.  It is basically a sign of intimacy.   Therefore, when the person you like calls you by your first name, it’s a big deal and escalates the relationship.  In the Viz version of the manga, Sachie calls Igarashi “Rakuto” from the start, whereas in the … Continue reading Arakure Chp 46 Translation

Arakure Chp 45 Translation

Here is “Arakure” Chp 45.  This concludes the story arc about Rakuto and his father.  I think this chapter, although good,  is unnecessarily long … but I guess, the mangaka had to come up with 30-pages of something.  Anyhow, here’s the link: Link to Arakure Chp 45 The next chapter begins a new story arc.  Rakuto finally uses his “Anything” coupon and Azuma stumbles onto Rakuto’s secret connection to Sachie … look forward to it!

Arakure Chp 44 Translation

Here’s “Arakure” Chp 44.  I have to apologize now for the poor translation.  The Head Chef speaks in thick colloquialisms and uses lots of contracted words, so I had to take a guess with the words I could figure out as to what he could be saying.  I searched the Internet for clues, but ultimately, I decided that I wouldn’t find anything definitive in the amount of time I was willing to devote to the search.  Hopefully, I was able to reasonably infer his dialog.  It’ll be interested to see the Viz translation for comparison.  Anyhow, there’s a nice two … Continue reading Arakure Chp 44 Translation

Arakure Chp 43 Translation

http://omaris-sister.blogspot.com/2010/02/wild-ones-arakure-volume-9-is-out-from.htmlHere is chapter 43.  In this chapter we learn a little more about Rakuto’s past and Sachie begins to show more of her feelings towards Igarashi.  It’s an important chapter and from looking at the chapters ahead, I think this may be climax of the story.  Yep, we’re coming to the end, but it’s a drawn out ending over the next 14 chapters, so don’t get sad it’s ending yet. Link to Arakure 43 As for what’s next … well, there are a couple of Ouran side stories from Lala DX that haven’t been translated yet, so I’m thinking of … Continue reading Arakure Chp 43 Translation

Arakure chp 42 Translation

Update:  09/12/2009 — Thanks to yourojousama who noticed page 21 was missing.   I have added page 21 to the original file.  It can be downloaded via the link below.————————————— Here’s Arakure Chp 42.  We see some more progress between Sachie and Rakuto.  It seems that it’s Sachie’s turn to start figuring out how she feels.  This story arc goes for quite a few a chapters, so hang in there while I will do my best to get them out in a timely manner, since I, too, am eager to know how this will all turn out.  Haha!!  Rest assured volume … Continue reading Arakure chp 42 Translation

Arakure Chp 41 Translation

Here’s “Arakure” chapter 41. I put some notes in the back describing a couple of animals in this chapter. Consult the notes of you don’t know what these animals are. I also encourage you to Google them as they are quite strange. Anyhow, this is somewhat of a continuation of Yuzuki’s story, but this time Sachie and Rakuto are more involved. It seems that in this chapter, everyone gets their signals mixed up. The interaction between Rakuto and Azuma is quite entertaining. Link to Arakure chp 41 As usual, please do not post this to any manga aggregators without my … Continue reading Arakure Chp 41 Translation

Arakure chp 40 Translation

Here is Arakure Chp 40. This is an Azuma side story. At first I was bummed about the diversion, but it turned out to be a very cute story that greatly humanizes Azuma. Azuma really is a great guy and I hope as the story progresses he quits comparing himself to Rakuto and recognizes his own wonderfulness. Here a link to the chapter: Link to Arakure Chp 40 It will take some time before I am able to get to chp 41. I want to translate ZHD chp 12 and when that gets done, Ouran 74 should be out. In … Continue reading Arakure chp 40 Translation
