Not a release, an AMA Cover and plans for the future.

TMG_v10_CoverNot gonna play April fools, agreed with certain someone that it's kind-of a waste of time.

Two things to announce, one is that the cover for AMA (changed the short-cut I use from AA) Volume 10 has appeared, and using the opportunity there's something else I want to announce, it's something like a state of the translations and plans for the future.

Well, as for the translations schedule, I'll remind that the current schedule includes AntiMagic Academy and Only Sense Online as priority works to translate and keep up with the newest released volume, thus I'm going to finish AMA Volume 9, then this month's released Volume 10 and then I'll do Only Sense Online Volume 5 next.

After I'm caught up with these series I plan to finish Omae wo, the Volumes 2 and 3 are short so there'll be no problem.

Now to the last point, after that I'm not gonna immediately go on with translations of a new series. In fact, I'm putting VO on halt and wait to see whether Volume 4 will be last or not, there are many opinions on Japanese forums that suggest the series might be finished at 4 volumes. In that case I will probably drop it before picking up (my apologies, I want a lengthier series after 2 series that finished on 3 volumes).

I plan to go back to AntiMagic Academy earlier volumes (1-6 or 1-7) to do a thorough style/translation check and revamp to conform to the current quality and stylistics (Volume 8/9 would be good representation of the current style). My style and skills changed quite a bit with the amount of text I have written (roughly 17 volumes!), there are some translations I want to change to make the entire thing look more natural, change furigana usage to how it is currently (one furigana per chapter limit as a reminder of the double meaning), lighter use of brackets and so on. In any case, lots of stuff.

Last thing, a new release? Maybe in a few days, no promises. Next chapter is on the short side, but I haven't touched it yet and am resting. The plan is to finish this volume before next one comes out.

Best girl strikes back? (??!) (?!?)

TMG_v09_105Well, gonna keep it short. I'm busy and have no time to translate, this chapter has been translated on 25th hour of each day. Probably next chapter translation is gonna come next month or something.

What to fill this space with... uh, I'll talk about chapter length! This chapter is quite short, 30+ pages, chapter 4 is about 45 pages long... and... chapter 5... is 120 pages long, I mean, what in the nine hells... Thankfully, chapter 6 will be just 16 pages long.

That's it, chapter link here.

Edit: Only Sense Online Volume 5 release date has appeared! Yes, justice! 20th of May!

Edit2: By the by, apparently Only Sense Online Manga's Volume 1 is coming out on the same day! While I'm still not satisfied by the art, I pray for its success! (That aside, the manga tries to follow novel closely, minus detailed explanations as a matter of course.)

The dropouts multiply.

TMG_v09_CoverArtOkay, another release. Quite short chapter so it didn't take long, but the pace is getting lower.

Because there's no illustration in the chapter, I'll put this cleaned cover in. Yup, it's completely clean and doesn't have any stuff written on it. Pure eye-candy *drools*.

Well, that's about it. Not much action in the chapter, we get a 'I'm the sheriff here' moment and new characters though!

Link here.

Sloowly creeping forward, back to the world of magic~

TMG_v09_004

Well then, nothing out of ordinary. Another chapter of AA.

I'm guessing this chapter is very explanatory, it clears up a few things in the world's setting and shows certain characters' growth. There's also a confession... yes! A confession, a real 'love' one too! Evil krytyk spoils stuff to make your blood boil with curiosity as to who is the one confessing! Mwahaha!

Now, here's the link that will give you lead you on the correct path: here. Make sure not to stray from the correct path if you wish to remain sane.

Edit: The false path was sealed as it was apparently too destructive to vulnerable mortal minds.

It's back~ darkness is back~

TMG_v09_009Okay, this volume probably isn't going to be translated at any amazing pace like OSO, it's quite big and I don't have as much time. Basically, gonna drop prologue now and translate chapters when I have some free time on the side. I'm guessing this is my first attempt at catching up with AA, hopefully I'll manage :)).

I have to say, this illustration is deadly, lovely and deadly. I just love how Kippu's art evolved over the few years since he started working on 35th Platoon.

Okay, link for the Prologue.

Now to the second issue... thanks to user Galen Musbach who provided the scan from the Fujimi Fantasia Bunko's Heroine calendar, as well as my meagre photoshopping skills there's a descent of overwhelming justice. Hail the justice, spread the love. God... Toutobi, why are you so wonderful, such a sinner.

I'll translate the provided short story and announce it another post, also - I'm moving the illustration to the new post. Kai.
