Some Thoughts on Translating Manga

K3

I’d like to extend upon a blog entry I did on manga translation way back in Nov of 2007. Link What I’d like to expand upon is this: What’s interesting about this is that I feel a very strong connection to the original text and to what I’ve written. I didn’t expect this. It feels sort of like I’m a part of the story creation process because much of how I feel about the story and the characters comes out in the words and the phrasing I choose to translate the words to and the way I describe the action … Continue reading Some Thoughts on Translating Manga

Ouran 73 – Done

7/27: I finished translating the chapter. I found some translation errors in the stuff I’ve already translated, which I’m now in the process of correcting 🙂 (Don’t worry the corrections don’t impact the story). Yay! I’m learning! Anyway, if all goes well, I will post the entire chapter tomorrow.

Still working on Ouran 71, But what’s going on so Far

(Kyouya isn’t showing any emotion either and coolly accepts that the club isn’t going to make any $$$ this day.) Haruhi is, though, affected by Tamaki’s tears and she tries to touch him to console him. So … Continue reading Still working on Ouran 71, But what’s going on so Far

Comments to My Blog

I appreciate all comments to my blog, however, I will only publish comments that are constructive. I did receive a comment about the anime series “Kiba” which I liked up to the point in which the commenter criticized me personally. I am entitled to my own opinion as is each and every person. Because I felt this person gave valuable feedback and a valid review of his or her own, I will publish their comment below sans the inappropriate off-topic and non-productive personal criticism. I, also, would invite that commenter to continue the conversation with me, but to please remember … Continue reading Comments to My Blog
