Here we are! I may be really, really late, considering it's such a short chapter, but I have a good excuse! Finals. Finals is a good excuse, right? Though I guess it loses something when they ended two weeks ago... Still, then there was conventions, and Avengers, and more feelings than I knew what to do with... When you've got so many feelings for a western property, you're less inclined to do the eastern stuff, I guess.
Anyways, I have That said, it probably won't be much worse than previous...pauses in translation, really. Anyways, I might still get the odd doujinshi done here or there - I've got some stuff on the computer, after all - but anything that requires scanning is really out of the question. Wish me luck, and here's hoping I don't die in a gutter. :3 Next Up: Well, that is the question, isn't it? |

Final Fantasy! Man, this chapter. You guys know how I feel about chapters that lack Balthier, but this one was made worse by politics. My apologies if it's unclear or confusing; I'll confess I didn't do a really thorough readthrough at the end, though it was actually more that I was busy and wanted to get it on the server than anything else.
Next Up: I imagine Boku no Chopin'll be the next thing released, though I'm going to continue puttering away at this Fate doujin. |

FINALLY.
Good God this guy was difficult. Not sure whether it was the sheer amount of text, or just Yukimura's way of talking, or whether it was all the introspective stuff that doujinshi likes to have, finishing this guy was a bit like pulling teeth. But it was so short, I couldn't really justify not finishing it. I just hope that that pile of Sengoku Basara doujinshi I ordered isn't as difficult as this one was. *shudder* But all that stuff is Masamune/Kojuurou, so maybe that'll help. Anyways, all my major papers are done, but now I've got finals to worry about, so don't expect any great increase in releases. As always, however, I will continue to putter away. Next Up: FFXII should be the next thing released, but I'm gonna start on some Fate doujinshi while I'm at it. |

As (sort of) promised, Breath of Fire porn.
What can I say? I felt BoF's absence from my life. Though as porn goes, this was actually rather boring. And kind of.. akward? I suppose that's a word for it. Next Up: Still puttering away at FFXII, but I might finish this Sengoku Basara doujinshi in the interim... it's texty, but page-wise it's short. |

I really have absolutely nothing to say on this one. It was really just all exposition.
And now, papers! Next Up: I'll start on FFXII, but I imagine I'll be releasing a doujinshi (Possibly BoFIV porn) between then and now. |

Some doujinshi have this queer habit of not making a lick of sense while I'm translating them, but when I go back and re-read them, it all just falls neatly together.
This was one of those doujinshi. It's a weird one, though. I think I probably should've done a bit o' research into what's up with Michael. Ah, well. Next Up: I should have Star Ocean up by the end of the weekend, unless I get my ass in gear and start studying for the midterm or work on the two papers I have due. We'll see. |

Whoops! Forgot about this one. Just an itty-bitty FFXII BalAshe doujin I meant to release together with Boku no Chopin.
It's, like, seven pages and I snatched it off of Pixiv, but GUYS BALTHIER'S SO ATTRACTIVE IN IT I CAN'T EVEN ALSO THERE ARE FLOWERS FLOWERS! Next up: Star Ocean/Decent Length doujinshi, for reals this time. |
| 02/15/12 |

So I went with working on the new series. But the first chapters only, like, 19 pages! Kinda texty, but it's the prologue, so whatevs.
Here we are! Boku no Chopin. It's actually not based on anything And now, I swear to God, I'm going to study, damnit! And eat KFC! And watch Batman Beyond! Probably not in that order! But I seriously need to study. Sooo not ready for this midterm. Next Up: Probably Star Ocean, with a 30% chance of doujinshi. |

Hey.
Hey. How much do you guys love me? I hope it's a whole lot. Because I got you the best valentine's gift in the history of ever. Not one... but TWO chapters of Breath of Fire! And not just any two chapters of Breath of Fire! The FINAL two chapters. That's right. LOVE ME. I hemmed and hawwed over whether or not to do them in one shot-it'd be a lovely treat, but the last one's so long and texty but I don't want to do SO3 right now, I'm trying to study - and then poof! They were done. Nothing like procrastinating to make me work on other things. And so, here we are. End of an era, this. Hope you all had fun, and don't hate me too much for taking so long with it. Though I averaged a little under 9 chapters a year, so... that's not that bad? Anyways, love you all for sticking with me. Not like you had a choice, but. Sort of spoilers (highlight to see): Now someone go and write me fic about the snarky adventures of Human!Fou and Human!Ryu. I need it like air. Next Up: I dunno! Shall I move onto SO3, or start my new project~? The first chapter's only 20 pages long~ |

Not gonna lie, I didn't get a word done of BoF. Still, with the amount I've been pumping out, I think you can find it in your hearts to forgive me polishing off this guy in one day. And it was nice, working on just what I felt like for the day. And in case you haven't been able to tell, I've really been in a Balthier mood lately.
Side note, this one - ohmygawsh, FEELINGS. I was NOT expecting it to be this romantic. Made me wibble a bit. I will also note some of these translations... well, I hope they made sense. I can see I've improved since Beyond the Sky, but this author, still... Well, I did my best. Next Up: BofF, probably, but I stand by my previous statement of "minute possibility of |

I wonder if it's just the lack of an other-language class this semester that's contributing to my being AWESOME, or is it something else? I know I felt like I'd reached the point where the translation comes smoothly with FFXII this chapter, but it could be lack of Political Intrigue and lots of action pages contributing. Hm.
Besides that, I'd like to say that next week is midterms, so don't expect too much of me, but I'm a procrastinator down to my bones, so we'll see how that goes. Next Up: Likely BofF, though I suppose there's a minute chance of doujinshi. I highly doubt it, though. |

It's finally~ done~ ohymgawd~
Star Ocean 3! The Final Volume. Featuring! Absolutely no Albel. I am disappoint. Ah, well. In other news, my package arrived, carrying with it some lovely Assassin's Creed doujinshi from the same circle as Diamante, so keep an eye out for that. It's pretty wonderful stuff. I'll be doing some cleaning in the forums, so those of you who frequent it (HA) check it out and make sure you look like a person, lest I delete your user. And I solemnly swear I shan't do anymore translation until Monday night - I have a paper due Monday I haven't even started on. Next Up: FFXII, though there's a possibility I'll finish this AC doujin before it. |

Here we are, as promised - my lovely little FFXII doujinshi. Full of Balthier being wonderful - I must say, the initial exchange in this guy is probably the best thing I've ever translated.
That said, I will note that this doujinshi - even more than regular manga/doujinshi, which is saying something - it gets a bit confusing as to who's talking. I did my best, but my apologies if it gets a bit... blurry. That said, enjoy! It's wonderful and gorgeous. Next Up: Star Ocean? Maybe? I'm thinking I might start puttering away at the second Tron chapter, too... |

OH WHOOPS BREATH OF FIRE'S DONE
I really didn't intend to have this done now - I was planning to do it in the morning, at a decent hour - but then it was like "OH THERE'S ONLY TWO PAGES LEFT" but I ALWAYS FORGET the time (though not effort, particularly) that goes into PUTTING THESE THINGS UP and I want to GO TO BED BAH That said, yay Breath of Fire! Next Up: That FFXII doujinshi, definitely. The translation's all done, it just needs some tweaking and some extra pages scanned BUT I'M GOING TO BED DAMNIT |

All~Done~Finally~
This was a long and fairly lacking in Balthier!Awesome (though what there was was REALLY awesome) chapter, so I'm glad it's finally done. Plus, it's the end of Volume 3! Yay~ I would say "don't expect anything anytime soon", since due dates are starting to come up (Nothing major; I've only got a couple high-level courses this semester, everything else's just for credits, haha) but there's still a fair amount, so... But anyways, the next thing is BofF, and I usually manage to crank those out fairly quickly since they're already scanned and awesome and wonderful and ACTION PAGES mmmmmm. Though I'm still puttering away at this gorgeous FFXII doujin, and I'll try to keep puttering, which will slow me down a bit but I have been a MACHINE recently and I deserve gorgeous Balthier doujinshi. Oh, also, I've been meaning to mention - I'm glad to see (now that I can track hits) that you guys are actually visiting the In Progress page fairly often. :3 I've been making an effort to update it more regularly because of that (also putting current doujinshi projects on there, not just the manga) so, yeah. Keep an eye! Next Up: I honestly can't remember how long the next BoF chapter is, but it's a fairly safe bet it'll be it. Though this doujinshi's a fairly close second... |

Ahahaha, two in one day~ Look at me go~
This marks the end of Volume 6, so in my usual fashion, I'll leave the singles up for about a week or so. Also, I could not for the life of my find the dust cover for this guy, so you don't get a scan of the back cover. I'm sure you can find it in your hearts to forgive me. It'll turn up, and when it does, maybe I'll remember to add it to the .zip. Next Up: FFXII! Though I wouldn't put it past me to maybe release a new doujinshi in the meantime. They are all rather shiny... |

POSSIBLY LITTLE KNOWN FACT: I am an absolutely hopeless romantic.
So even though this one is super-short, AUGH IT'S SO CUTE I CAN'T TAKE IT. It's from my package which arrived yesterday - which also includes a wonderful FFXII doujinshi I might start on. Or possibly that F/SN one...? Or that Xenosaga one would be a nice change of pace... Next Up: I should have the new SO3 release up by tonight or early tomorrow - I've only got a couple pages left, but I must go to work. |

This whole chapter:
....Yeah, that about sums it up. SO MANY FEELINGS. SO many things I want to say but I WON'T because I don't want to SPOIL things but it was BRILLIANT and my translation didn't do it JUSTICE AND IT WAS INCONSISTANT AND LKSNDGLKDNGH I really didn't expect to have it out this soon, but I just couldn't stop. Too. Much. AWESOME. And a cliffhanger! Mwahahahha I wouldn't expect the next one anytime soon, either - the next SO3 chapter is an extra, entirely about Sophia/Ameena, so it'll be like PULLING TEETH Next up: SO3's next on the project list, but I wouldn't be surprised if I got distracted. |

Clearly, I am amazing when I have no class to worry about and few days off work.
Nothing much to say, besides the fact that this one was ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. I had been waiting to translate this chapter, it's so absurd. Totally worth the wait. Oh! And I just ordered the most fantastic looking doujinshi. I'm sure you'll be seeing them at some point in the near future~ Oh! And, since I doubt I'll get anything done before Christmas - work, then off to my parents for the weekend - I hope you all have a very merry Christma-Hanu-Rama-Ka-Dona-Kwanzaa. :3 Next Up: Breath of Fire! The translation on those usually goes super-smoothly, so I doubt I'll have time enough to release anything in between, though you never know. |

Can't say a whole lot today, because I'm just about late for work here, but I really wanted to get this up, on the site at least - I'll get it up on the LJ during my break or something.
Anyways, can't say I've ever gotten a Star Ocean chapter out this fast before - it may have something to do with a certain character that makes a reappearance, but have you even known me to be biased to a character before? No, never! That doesn't sound like me at all. Next Up: Final Fantasy, though there's the possibility of a doujinshi release before that. |

You are in the right place. Behold, the new layout! For my third anniversary~ It's pretty similar - most of the differences are purely aesthetic, I just wanted something new to look at - though I can now track hits on pages/downloads, which is lovely but means nothing to you, but there is also: A TWITTER. Basically, I figured the "next up" bar was redundant when I put it on the latest update, and it didn't work since it was so thin compared to the others, so a twitter! It'll be where I post all my inane comments on current translations, such as the ones you see above. Hm... What else? I updated the in progress/planned pages... added a Tumblr link... Assassin's Creed and Fate/Stay Night have their own sections now... I think that's about it! Let me know what you think at ANY ONE OF THE NUMEROUS OPTIONS. I'd love some feedback! And, of course, in celebration of my third anniversary Anyways, as usual, thanks for sticking with me all this time. We're in the home stretch for Breath of Fire! Next Up: Star Ocean's in the cards, but I imagine I'll finish up that doujin-that-was-intented-to-be-anniversary-release-number-3 first. |
