1,2,4,7 are 'single story' volumes while 3,5,6 are 'short story' volumes.
"Heavy" plotlines happen in 1,4,7 though very important plotlines happen in the short story volumes as well and they build a lot of the character development. 2 is a lighter plot.

To add to that, the recently released volume 8 is also a short-story volume (well, 2 medium length short stories. Both are compiliations from The Sneaker's serializations. So there are no original stories written for this volume).
But I don't care, the SOS-dan member's novels were super fun to read. Especially that "Fantasy Horror" piece Yuki wrote. ^^ Maybe I'll add a review sometime. ^^; |

Sushi-Y: Given your pretty big interest here, would you want to help with the novel translation project? You'd be more than qualified, and there's a lot of discussion allowing more translators to work on a volume at a time under certain circumstances (e.g., short story novels vs. single story novels).

Incidentally Sushi-Y, how goes the translation of Reshuffle, the Shakugan no Shana short story you said (last month) you were translating?

I already replied to velocity7 about the offer, and as I mentioned in the reply, novel translation simply isn't my cup of tea. Because I'm an incredibly anal translator, I'd rather spend 30 minutes trying to think of a way to write a paragraph that remains the most faithful to the original text's tone and meaning, rather than spend 5 minutes and take liberties by using my own interpretations. To put it bluntly, my translations sound like Japanese people speaking English, rather than English people speaking English. Whether that's a good thing or not is up to the reader. Either way, I'm slow as a cow when translating novels, nor do I have the energy to burn on them (kudos to the people working on this, it looks like you guys are actually advancing quite nicely, I'm impressed), so for the moment, I'm sitting this one out.

But yes, and this season has a lot of hard-hitters, not to mention this is Exam Term/Semester for students worldwide - certainly a novel translation project should be put behind for now ^_^ Incidentally, around where in the timeline (relative to major chara development events) does that sidestory occur?
