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

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 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

Arakure Chp 51 Translation

K3

Here’s Arakure Chapter 51.  This is a bittersweet chapter and Azuma fans should get out a couple of hankies.  I like manga like this in which the main character has two excellent choices for a mate.  It’s always sad when the choice is finally made, but at the same time it’s satisfying because we the reader know it’s destiny.  I think this is the way life as humans.  Love is a train.  Whether the person knows or not, there are always more than one person in love with them and when that person settles on someone, the train of other … Continue reading Arakure Chp 51 Translation

Arakure Chp 50 Translation

K3

It’s the chapter we’ve all been waiting for.  Oh, why can’t Tamaki be this brave and honest?  Anyhow, this is simply a lovely chapter, so I hope you all enjoy it. Link to Arakure Chp 50 The next chapter will cover the sad aftermath for Azuma.  I really do feel sorry for him because he’s a good guy, and he did what was best for Sachie’s happiness instead of his own. Anyhow, I’m gonna take a couple days off from translating to catch up on some housework and work on my other projects.  There are 6 chapters left in Arakure, … Continue reading Arakure Chp 50 Translation

Ouran Chp 75 Translation

Hooray for Sapphire Pyro and Narmeen!  They did the proofreading while I was asleep last night, so the scanlation is ready :)! Link to Ouran Chp 75 (Retired)(version 2.1 11/25/2009 — updated for continuity with chp 76 flashbacks) This chapter is very important, but at the same time, it’s a bummer because it ends on such a low note.  However, I believe the situation is set for a hug or a kiss in the next chapter…heheheh…I’ll write more about what clues I see in few days after enough people read the chapter. FYI:  Chp 76 will be out in Japanese … Continue reading Ouran Chp 75 Translation
