Well sorry, I meant to say I hope that the translator will at least do parts bit by bit. The story was picking up and I'm dying to know more, sorry if I'm overly ecstatic or demanding.

You got volume 3 what's it like?

larethian · 2012-03-26, 00:33

Aaaahh, volume 3 is a satisfying read for a love comedy. Though at the rate it's coming out, it'll probably be July before I get to read volume 4.

I don't feel like doing summaries because I've forgotten most of the details of volumes 1 and 2, and don't feel like going back to them. Though I might give a spoilerish character breakdown before the manga comes out.

I would've preferred summaries than mild character spoilers. Oh well, at least I know that volume 3 would be a great read and I'm really anxious to read it.

The person doing the translations on the teaser page is slow, but, oh well, good things come to those who wait as they said.

The translator is actually learning Japanese. And he did say he could only do a page a week. You have to wait for more translators. Moreover, there are no raws available except for volume 1 AFAIK. I've said this many many times, but your best bet is actually to learn Japanese.

I'm learning, but I'm not that confident in translating. I know how to read and pronounce some Japanese characters, I'm at least at 20% in terms of understanding.

Sorry if I sound demanding but I'm trying not to come across as such. I created this thread so that people can share their thoughts and info about the series...that's all.

is it being translated in chinese? because I had better chance in it than in japanese.

It is. But so far only less than 5 chapters.

LOL It is SO totally a Oreimo + Toradora! It's got otaku/super-popular dynamics like oreimo and the love polygon relationship is practically exactly like in toradora!!

Kirito · 2012-03-26, 15:31

I think the originally of the story makes up for what the series could potentially be based off of.

I only read a bit of it, and the main dude doesn't sound like Ryuuji or Kyousuke in anyway, just his own character.

I can't say much for the main girl yet, but I'm keeping an eye on that one.

larethian · 2012-03-26, 21:10

It is like Toradora not because of the characterizations, but because of how the love relationship is apparently going to play out.

Spoiler for relationships:

Spoiler for relationships:

I kind of had a sense where the relationships were heading minus the two at the end of the character comparison list. Even if it's like Toradora in terms of relationship plotting it's still its own story with characters with their unique personalities, motivations, and agendas.

Thanks for this information Lare

Syokool · 2012-03-27, 10:09

Indeed, this novel seems to be good for a comedy-romance series. Though I only read first two chapters, I'd prefer to work in Mahouka K than this.

I mean, both have cliché and original plots, and in this case we could even make a comparison between other two series (Oreimo & Toradora). But M.K fits more in my tastes than this.

Well, I haven't read the first volume complete, so I think I could change my point of view.

Btw, thanks for that info lare

larethian · 2012-05-03, 02:32

The first chapter of the manga is really the prologue of volume 1 and only made up of 12 pages. Totally faithful so far.

Kirito · 2012-05-03, 03:02

I'm really looking forward to reading this. I wonder if it'll be monthly like most Light Novel to manga adaptations. It'll also be a great way to past the time hoping that Baka-Tsuki picks this up as a full project.

I hope the support get bigger.

larethian · 2012-05-03, 03:39

It's monthly. Next chapter will be out in May 26.

You hope 'someone' will pick up the translation, not 'Baka-Tsuki'. Baka-Tsuki is just a infrastructure for people to host their translations and to get free feedback and edits. Small correction but a very important distinction.

Right, sorry for being stupid then

larethian · 2012-05-11, 04:22

I'm planning to translate this (very very very slowly) on my (newly started) translation blog. I need to recruit 2 proofreaders (1 to do the grunt work) and the other for QC. Must be very strong in English writing. Anyone wants to volunteer?

Admittedly, this is not a mind-blowing series. But still, I like it and it's relatively easy to translate and I'm doing it for fun. The main difference from my past projects is that this will probably be the only post-retirement series I'll be translating for the next 2 years and I'm focusing on quality than speed.

I'll be glad to help with proofreading or editing. I'm studying to become a writer and this will be a great opportunity to enhance my writing skills, and work on my editing and proofreading.

I love to write/improve on my craft, and this is a series I genuinely want to be involved in. So if you're interested just let me know.

Spoiler for relationships: Kashiwada Naoki ---(a)---> Koigasaki Momo Koigasaki Momo ---(b)---> Kashiwada Naoki Kashiwada Naoki <---(c)---> Suzuki Souta Kashiwada Naoki ---(d)---> Hasegawa Midori Koigasaki Momo ---(e)---> Suzuki Souta Hasegawa Midori ---(f)---> Kashiwada Naoki Kashiwada Naoki ---(g)---> Sakurai Azuki Sakurai Azuki ---(h)---> Kashiwada Naoki Koigasaki Momo <---(i)---> Hasegawa Midori Koigasaki Momo <---(j)---> Sakurai Azuki a) In a symbiotic relationship with Momo. Helping her to become an Otaku to capture her love interest, Suzuki Souta. Initially, it was due to Momo knowing his secret that he's an Otaku (something he doesn't want people to know). Now, has developed a friendship. b) In a symbiotic relationship with Naoki. Helping him to become a Riajuu to capture his love interest, Hasegawa Midori. Starting to develop deeper feelings for Naoki unconsciously; she's still not aware of it. c) Otaku comrades. Suzuki Souta is an Ikemen Otaku interested in Lolis characters. He's not interested in 3D. d) In love with Midori after seeing her smile. She's the ideal Riajuu dream girl for him. Starting to make some progress with her thanks to Momo's help. At friendship level now. e) Like any girl, she's attracted to the Ikemen (hunk/handsome) Suzuki Souta. Found out that he's an Otaku by chance and got Naoki to help her become an Otaku and overcome her weakness against men. Managed to talk to him during a cosplay event when she cosplayed one of his favorite characters. Other than that, Suzuki (who's not into 3D), is not aware of her yet. Her progress is much slower than Naoki's. f) One of the first friends she made in high school. Currently friendship level. g) Initially hated by Azuki, and thought that for a while even when it was no longer so. Finally, the misunderstanding got resolved, and now sees her as a fellow Otaku comrade. She's also big-breasted (totally Naoki's type), though Naoki's love interest is Midori (despite that, he occasionally played with the thought of what if 'such a girl' is his girlfriend.) h) Weak against Otaku guys. Initially had an intense dislike for Naoki. But after knowing him better and seeing how he helped Momo, and the fact that some of their interests collide, she started developing a crush on him. Invited him to a Yuri anime movie. She's into both BL and Yuri. i) Friends. Momo is one of the first friends Midori made in high school. h) Good friends. Azuki found Momo to be cute and wanted her to cosplay with her. Momo was glad that she found a female Otaku friend who can teach her more about being an Otaku. Even though there are slight differences, the love triangles resemble that of Toradora in the following manner: Naoki - Ryuuji Momo - Taiga Midori - Minori Yuusaku - Souta Azuki - Ami
