Manga Books: I Has Them.

EverPhoenix · Mon Dec 29, 2008 6:53 pm

i was fortunate enough to stumble upon the 2 books on ebay. they were fairly expensive, but since it was christmas i decided to treat myself. i got them today, and am still just staring at the covers trying to comprehend what is before me.

the next issue is that i have literally no idea how to do anything in japanese (except read subtitles, hehehe) so i guess its time to get one of those cheap 'learn japanese now' dvds from my local game shop.

but yeah, i has them

congrats! well since it's not about reading but having them, just read the translation in the internets and be happy about owning sth this rare!

i could only find the first chapter translated online, and that was.. well, awesome.

plus itd be so much more fulfilling if i could read it myself.

id translate them if i could but with my literally non-existent japanese i cant do a thing with them. if enough people request i can start the task of photoing every page (i refuse to use a scanner, itll damage my books). then maybe someone on here can translate them ^^

Scanning the entire second chapter in its original language would be nice in the meantime.

I'm currently translating a doujin, but the photos would have to be REALLY good for me to read any kanji and furigana associated with the text. Just so you know.

3 seems good enough for me, soon as i can get my hands on one of my parents' digital cameras ill start photoing.

from what i can see the plot is a bit different. and the art is really nice too

I'll see what I can do in terms of translations. They might take some time and they might be a little shakey, but I'll do my best.

heres the first chapter. the rest will follow in due time. i figured youd want to see the pics, since there is a translation of this chapter out there somewhere.

enjoy, peoples.

i apologise if the pics are crap quality - they are off a digicam and may have my hand in the picture. i dont want to break the spine of my books, they are worth a fair bit.

plus i like taking care of my things

im sure the quality is good enough to read and understand - and admire the art

This looks awesome! but you could try and get/borrow a scanner that is made especially for scanning books...
But if you can't find one, nvrmnd, don't break the spine of the book! It's not worth it!

Actually, the quality is decent enough for me to read it. I don't think I could scanlate it, but i can read the kanji well enough (in most instances.)
