Nanoha Manga Discussion

[ichibaka]

I can help edit the translation since I'm pretty good with editing manga, and I do have previous experience. Are the translations available now? I can start right away, and the pages don't look that difficult to fix.

Strikers manga by itself probably would be released after the series ended or close to end, similar to Nanoha A's

Yeah i saw that too in amazon, 188 pages to be exact.It is most probably just the compilation of all 7 chapter according to that 1 guy preview and mangaoh club.The number of pages is about right, each chapter around 24-26 pages long.
They might be adding some author stuff in there.At least it is not as thin and expensive as A's

is amazon.jp the only place that has it listed I am thinking about picking it or are ther any other place that have it listed ?

You could try http://www.mangaoh.co.jp/php/data_pr...rd_code=144880
Never bought from em before myself, they are fast on delivery but has crazy shipping cost according to my friends.

Alternatively you could try asking nippon export to find one for you during release, they are slow on delivery though.

I wouldn't mind sending my translation to other people, but since we've been working on small corrections and nuances and finalizing things, I wouldn't feel right about just making another scanslation behind his back.

I guess for now, all I can say is the the translation is finished, and chapter 5 of the manga is in its final stages of scanslation, so please be patient. The final version should be on its way soon enough.

NICE!!! and thanks for the reminder about the forum rules. I'll need to keep that in mind

Alright, another question for those military-savvy members of our community. In page 12 of chapter 6, Teana mentions getting a "遺族補償", meaning a bereaved family compensation or survivor's compensation. My question is, in English, what would it be called? Should I translate it as one of those, or is there another name?

Hey KempoCatholic, since your working on chap 6, does that mean you've translated chap 5. If so can you tell me where to find it

Translation is finished, but it hasn't been turned from the text into an edited scan. In other words, the translation only exists in PMs in selkirk's mailbox and on my hard drive. Sorry this is taking so long, but I have no editing ability whatsoever, so pretty much all I can do is hand off my translations to other people and wait.

Selkirk's absence is hitting us all hard with the lack of StrikerS nano, but he'll be back eventually and everything will go back to mach speed again. If you REALLY, ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, can not wait for the translation, you caould always PM me and get a copy of the translation, I guess. I'd post it somewhere, but I'm usually not much of a forum person, so I don't have any other places to put it, and Animesuki would like to avoid lawsuits by not hosting translations, so I can't just post my translation here.

(by the way, I know that other people might be willing to scan it in selkirk's absence, but....I'd feel bad about just doing that since he's helped me a lot with proofreading my translation of chapter 5, and even made a first draft of the scanslation)

What d'you mean "sorry"? You have nothing to be sorry about. More like Thank you for taking the time to do this

[Kinny Riddle]

Just a trivial question after going through the posts here since my last post: I remember Starting Stars Phase 01 being the last chapter to be scanlated, am I missing anything new? Since there's no indication of any new scanlations being released, apart from KempoCatholic's current attempt.

Now that it has been mentioned again in Episode Discussion thread, I guess I should stop being lazy and actually do what I supposed to do a month ago.

As I don't have connection to community of scanlators/subbers myself, I suppose I start from this place, knowing that there're several other people with Japanese literacy.
These who can read transcript, please put your opinion or comment on it's accuracy. (All of them are spoiler-tagged for largeness)

Spoiler for The 2 pages in question:

Spoiler for Transcript from original book:

Page 1:
Panel 1
Box: そして　家に帰って家族と朝食
Box: 両親・兄・姉　四人の家族には魔法の事は内緒

Panel 2, 3
Box: 友人であり師匠でもあるユーノもペットの扱い
Box: しかし　一見のんびりしたこの朝食中も　実は

Panel 4
Box: 身につけたレイジングハートが　なのはの魔力に強い負荷をかけています

Page 2:
Panel 1
Box: それにより　日常の一挙一投足に魔力を消費するという
Box: いわば　「魔導師養成ギプス」的な効果を発揮します

Panel 2, 3
Box: 並の魔導師であれば立ち上がる事すら困難な負荷の中
Box: なのはは平然と日常生活を送っています

Panel 4
Box: 本人曰く「最初はちょっとつらかったけど　いまはそんなに」とのことで
Momoko: はい　お弁当
Nanoha: ありがとー

Panel 5
Nanoha: じゃ　いってきまーすっ！

Panel 6
Box: 通学や体育の時間などは　たいていこの状態です

Spoiler for My translation, partly using lines from scanlation for where it doesn't matter:

Page 1:
Panel 1
Box: Afterwards, she heads back home and eat breakfast with her family.
Box: Her four family members; parents, brother and sister do not know about her magical abilities.

Panel 2, 3
Box: Yuuno, who is both teacher and friend of Nanoha, is treated as a pet in here.
Box: While this may look like a laid-back breakfast, however
(Note: Scanlator mistakenly thought these are Yuuno's monologue, which in fact are mere 3rd-person narration.)

Panel 4
Box: The Raising Heart Nanoha wears is strongly stressing her magic power.

Page 2:
Panel 1
Box: As result, she consumes her magic power for every daily activity she takes.
Box: In a sense, it has effect described to be a sort of "Mage Training Gypsum".
(Note: As of "Training Gypsum" from Kyojin-no-Hoshi, you often find that term in Sports-Konjo manga)

Panel 2, 3
Box: Under the stress that a nomal mage would have hard time even for standing up,
Box: Nanoha spends her daily life without any problem.

Panel 4
Box: According to her, "It was a bit uncomfortable at first, but now it's not a problem".
Momoko: Here's your Obento
Nanoha: Thanks!

Panel 5
Nanoha: I'm going-!
(Note: So there's no English equvalent for "Itte kimasu"... mkay)

Panel 6
Box: She is usually in this state when she is on her way to school, in Gym classes or etc.

Points:
0.
"Pressure Mode".
I think I ought to repeat it once again.

1.
It does NOT say RH is "draining" straight-forward, rather it's wording is more of RH is "overloading" Nanoha and she consumes her magic power "as result".
I think it's somewhat similer to driving an automatic car at 1 gear as opposed to D gear which you'd normally use, and you'll use up more fuel than it supposed to be.

2.
"Training Gypsum" line has been completely dropped, making it's impression lather different.
"(Whatever) 養成ギプス" has been a popular terminology in Japanese manga history since first used in Kyojin-no-Hoshi.
For these who do not know, "Major League Ball Training Gypsum" that appeared in Kyojin-no-Hoshi was a bundle of springs and bands that covers a person's upper-half, effectively counteracting whatever action the weilder choose to take.
It was quite stressful and even harmful to these who without proper base toughness, but it's purely intended for training and it did work - the protagonist Hyuuma achieved the fastball that unsurpassed by other.

3.

通学や体育の時間などは　たいていこの状態です
She is usually in this state when she is on her way to school, in Gym classes or etc.

This line explicitly says that "the effect is not always/permanent", and can be turned on/off at will.
If "RH's draining" was a passive and permanent effect, it wouldn't say only "通学や体育の時間など (when she is on her way to school, in Gym classes or etc.)" nor "たいてい (usually)".

P.S-
If you have doubt in transcript being modified/altered, please say so.
I'll see what I can do with the book in my hand, and camera on my cell-phone.

I don't really have a comment on the drainage itself nor your translation - the automatic gears analogy helps me, thanks - I just thought that since Nanoha has a quote, "It was a bit uncomfortable at first, but now it's not a problem" that in the previous scanlator's translation that is why they thought it was Yuuno's dialogue? That would make some sense.

Thank you for the additional translation... especially the "Training Gypsum" addition.

Anyone know where to pick up this newly released Strikers The Comics Vol 1? Unsure if Amazon.co.jp will ship to the UK, can't find any resellers for this volume at present, and don't fancy trawling Yahoo Auctions Japan at the moment.

Help is appreciated.
