Suzushiro Nagisa no Shuchou 3 - fortissimo EXS//Akkord:nächsten Phase

I found a short fan-made video on youtube, and apparently it was from nicovideo. Since it was quite easy, we decided to sub it as a way to relax once in a while. If you have played fortissimo EXA before, I think you should like it.

Ichiro Heian chapter 2

This one should have been completed several days ago, but we slacked off since our domain was expired and I needed to wait until the domain owner paid the bill for the next year (he did it yesterday). Anyway, it's complete now, so here's chapter 2 of Ichihei.



That aside, I would have been in trouble with the word puutarou if I hadn't read the book "Dirty Japanese" written by Matt Fargo. That was quite an awesome book among those I have read so far. Kudos to the writer.

Ichiro Heian chapter 1

Hello again and welcome to our brand new project! This is the fruit of many hours of working, moments of frustration and even humiliation, and we hope you'll enjoy it. To be honest, we were able to push this out today mainly thanks to our newly joined members, especially akinator, who agreed to do most of the typesetting. Without him, this project would have been delayed at least 1 month, and it may be taken over by another group by that time. Also, it was a correct choice to have 2 proofreaders for this project. Both Mignonette and Macurai have done a great job in finding out errors that I couldn't notice. Cheers!

FYI, this manga is shounen, but translating it isn't easy at all. It features Chinese text, some incomprehensible slangs and place names which can easily be mistaken for words if you don't live in Japan (and yeah, I have never been there). In order to finish my script for 3 chapters, I had to :
- Sign up on twitter (heck, I almost never use it)
- Ask for help from mymy0201 on VNS (yeah, his Chinese to Vietnamese translation was very helpful for my English translation for this manga)
- Spam over 60 vocabulary and grammar questions at a Japanese guy to the point that I pissed him off



Well, that's enough for now. Here's chapter 1 for you :
