Orange Chocolate Chapter 5

Here’s “Orange Chocolate” chapter 5. Link to Orange Chocolate chapter 5 (update 3/1/2010 — Version 1: Translation correction on page 45 and minor edits from Kuma-chan) Chiro moves forward towards understanding herself more. For those of you interested in the dance mentioned in this chapter here are some links to some videos! These are video of “Fuji Musume” or “The Wisteria Maiden” starring Tamasaburo.  I was really lucky to find this videos because they include EXCELLENT commentary in English about what’s going on during the dance.  I wouldn’t have been able to appreciate the dance at all without the commentary, … Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chapter 5

Yay! There’s Chat…

Seeing as how this is an ongoing experiment with the Internet, I’ve installed a chat window in the side bar.  You have to register a username to use it.  Sorry about that, but there are some unfriendly people out there that like to abuse features like chat.  Anyhow, I’m online in some form most of the time while I’m awake, so give me holler :).  Or don’t…whatever.  Perhaps there’s no point to this, but I’ll give it a try.

New Project Survey Finished

The new project survey ended early this morning.  “Ultimate Venus” won by a large margin at the last minute.  However, two or three days ago I wrote I would not be taking on that project in this blog because parts of it are not appropriate for a general audience.  I received some excellent suggestions in the comments and as a result, I will be translating “Yoroshiku Master” for the holiday season.  As for after that, “Toshokan Sensou” and “Shitsuji-sama no Okiniiri” are the front runners.  However, given the excellent suggestions, I would like to take some time to research some … Continue reading New Project Survey Finished
