Ouran Chp 77 Translation

Merry Christmas!  I managed to eek it out by Christmas. You can thank my husband for this.  He shamed me into doing the translation.  So I accepted the challenge and the medical terms were not as bad as I thought they would be.  Also, the chapter isn’t a dreary as I thought it would be.  In fact it’s a great chapter and by the end of it, I felt like I was seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Link to Ouran 77 (Retired) (Version 1.0 — 3 Cheers for Kumachan!!!  Hopefully, through her work, most of the … Continue reading Ouran Chp 77 Translation

Akagami no Shirayukihime Chp 14 Translation

One of my proofreaders requested this one.  I guess the cliffhanger from chp 13 was unbearable :).  Anyhow, here it is: Link to Akagami Shirayukihime Chp 14 Update 12/27/2009:  Version 1 — Edits from Sapphire Pyro have been added. Hopefully, the file is now the latest 🙂 Also, here’s a link to some wonderful fan appreciation from Sapphire Pyro.  Sorata-sensei is so fortunate to have such a loving fan.  Link I’m not formally taking on this series.  Rather, this was a special request.  However, if the request is made again, I don’t mind translating this series when I have time.  It’s … Continue reading Akagami no Shirayukihime Chp 14 Translation

Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen Chp 14 Translation

Here’s “Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen” chp 14.  I like this chapter a lot because it has a good mix of humor, romance, and action.  The ending, though, is ominous.  Anyhow, I think in this chapter, Johanne’s brother, Joshua, forgot that Johanne is a “butcher” and believes in “enhanced interrogation techniques.”  Haha…silly Joshua.  So much for “talking”… Link to ZHD Chp 14 (Update:  12/17/2009 Minor edits from Kuma-chan!  Kuma-chan lives!!!) The next chapter should be out in two months, around 2/10/2010.  Next up Ouran 77.  I decided not to do the one-shot because after translating the first few pages, I didn’t like … Continue reading Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen Chp 14 Translation

"A Small World" — One Shot Translation

Yay!  Another rich granny to hate!  Haha!!!  I sorta feel like this story is a nice companion to the events happening currently in Ouran.   Anyhow … Mariko-chan suggested this one-shot.  Thank you sooo much!  It’s a great story and I loved reading and translating it!  So here it is for Mariko and whoever else wants to read it: Link to “A Small World”  I’m still waiting for a response from my second proofreader.  If there are any changes from her, there will be a version 1. Also, if there are any other one-shots you think I should check out, let … Continue reading "A Small World" — One Shot Translation

Arakure Chp 56 (The Final Chapter) Translation

At last!  Here’s the final chapter of Arakure! Link to Arakure Chp 56 I enjoyed this series a lot and I’m sad to see it end.  I will definitely miss these characters. I hope you all enjoyed it too :).  Fujiwara has a new series out running in Betsuhana (it may be more “adult” than Arakure) and there’s also a one-shot.  I’ll look into to both of these. Next up is Yoroshiku Master! Continue reading Arakure Chp 56 (The Final Chapter) Translation

Arakure Chp 55 Translation

It’s the second to last chapter of Arakure.  At last it’s revealed that Sachie is a Yakuza princess, and her best friend’s mother can’t handle it.  What’s poor Sachie going to do?  This part of the story is pretty standard, dare I even say perfunctory — well, let’s just get it over with.  There’s also some nice moments with Rakuto 🙂 Link to Arakure Chp 55 I probably won’t be able to get to the last chapter of Arakure until after the long Thanksgiving holiday.  Sorry!  I promise, though, it will be worth the wait :). For those of you … Continue reading Arakure Chp 55 Translation

Ouran Chp 76 Translation

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

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
