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
Online Japanese Dictionaries
Are you finding that your paper dictionaries don’t have half of the words you are looking for when you are translating manga? Well, here are some suggestions for you. In the course of struggling through translating, I have found some online resources that have been a great help to me. The most helpful I’ve found so far is a website called “Tangorin.” It’s by far the deepest online dictionary resource I’ve found so far. It even has many of the idiomatic words in its database. This dictionary contains several examples of word usage (20+), breakdowns of the kanji, a list … Continue reading Online Japanese Dictionaries
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

Ouran 74 is out in Lala 10
08/25/2009 Update: I have only 7 more pages to edit and then proofing. I also have a couple of bubbles with iffy translations that I want to ruminate on some more. Anyhow, the editing is taking longer than usual because there are a lot of sounds, especially the dogs!!! OMG!!! I’m getting a real Photoshop workout! On almost every page I had to repair the artwork around some hiragana/katana that I replaced with English! Anyhow, it should be out tomorrow afternoon (PST — Los Angeles Time), barring no surprises…—————————————————- I have Lala 10 and have completed scanning Ouran 74. There … Continue reading Ouran 74 is out in Lala 10
Ouran Wallpaper Feature The Accidental Kiss
Here’s is a wallpaper I made of Tamaki and Haruhi’s accidental Kiss. I decide to go with the feel of ice-cream. I don’t really know why — perhaps because it’s summer and ice-cream would be great right now. Download:1920×12001600×1600 Continue reading Ouran Wallpaper Feature The Accidental Kiss
Starting Wallpaper
I started some Ouran wallpaper today. I’m feeling very inspired yet, though. When I started looking for images, I found that none of the drawings really called out. Not even the bump-kiss. I pulled the bump kiss and some other images together in a collage so far, so see if I could squeeze any inspiration out of them. Still nothing. Anyhow, I cleaned the images down to a nice line drawings and I’ll have to ruminate on how to put some life into the drawings. The bump kiss it’s self was unremarkably drawn to me. Rather I like the reactions … Continue reading Starting Wallpaper
Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen Chp 12 Translation
Here’s “Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen” chapter 12. I worked hard this time to smooth out the English without losing too much meaning from the original Japanese. This is a really cute chapter, which is a nice break from the recent drama. Sigh … and now another 2-month wait for the next issue of Lala DX … Link to ZHD Chp 12 (updated 8/17 — page 1 fixed) As always, please do not upload this to the manga aggregators sites. I will do it myself. You may, of course, link to this blog entry. Also, if you see any translation errors, please … Continue reading Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen Chp 12 Translation
