Will these updates contain a set amount of chapters?
I'm aiming for at least half a chapter a week, but since I'm a slow translator and I've also got school, they might not be as long as I would like them to be. Whatever the case, I'll be uploading however much I progress on each Sunday. Just thought it'd be better to give people a day they can expect updates, just so they're not waiting aimlessly :)
Thank you for translating this! It's really rare to see a translation of this caliber (and especially for not straying far from the author's intent) for a language that's so dissimilar to English. Really, really great job so far.
thank you for translating <33
since anime usually make their original ED, i want to know the novel one~~ xDD
thank you again xD
Thanks for all the hard work that you put into translating No.6. :) Best of luck on your finals!
Thank you!! =) if you don't mind me asking, do you translate from japanese or mandarin?
thank you for the translations, your hard work is appreciated!
Thank you for the translations. Now I can go and read No.6 without stressed me out. Yes, I'm talking about that other person who translates No.6 who is a total hate machine who also loves to insult her own readers and even the characters of the novel.
I'm so happy I found this, please keep with the hard work! Thank you very much again.
Stalking this blog like no tomorrow. xD I've been reading your translations and they're really easy to understand. Anyway, keep up the great work! I look forward to your translations!
BTW, will you being translating all of the novels? Because if you are, I'm gonna love you so much. xD
May I stalk you please?
Thank you soooo much <3 You put a lot of effort into these.
@Anonymous
Haro lost interest in this and moved on to something else. The shippers were also not making her life easier. Something I hope 9ave never has to encounter in the time ahead.
Thank you 9ave for helping us non-Japanese readers out ^^!
@AnonymousI fully agree about the stress part. Though I do feel sorry for fans not making Haru's life easier, she certainly didn't have to be so incredibly harsh.
Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, Haru included. Somehow with Asano (supposedly, according to an interview) being bisexual, I think the usage of certain words wouldn't exactly make said author happy. Said used words and her 'know-it-all/I know I'm right' enforced opinion ended up getting a lot of people angry. For me it's mostly the former, it certainly left a bad aftertaste so to put it.
I'm all for freedom of speech, but if you post something hurtful and demeaning (that per definition could even be described as racist), you can expect a volatile reaction in return. That doesn't make it right, but Haru did state she was probably expecting negative attention to begin with.
Either way, I want to thank 9ave for an amazing translation! I'm a huge fan of the series and I find it such a shame the novels haven't been made available in English yet.
I certainly hope they'll be available soon, I already have a spot in my bookcase ;)
If they're never going to be translated I'll be certain to get the Japanese novels instead :)
@9ave
Testing threaded comments
Thanks so much for translating this series!!
Thank you so much for continuing with the translation! I prefer (semi-)British English to American English any day (I'm from a British colony, after all ^_^)
Hopefully the yaoi fangirls won't scare you off this series as well! If you find them too annoying, you should just ignore the comments and pretend those people don't exist; after all, their opinions don't change the content of the actual novel! Imo it's a shame to see people let random speculations by unknown teenagers about the 'BL-ness' in Nezumi and Shion's relationship kill off their enjoyment of the series *sigh*
Thank you so much for translating No.6 novel <3 can't wait to read next chapter! ^^
Thank you for your hard work on this. I really appreciate it.
You're a really great person : )
-SaKuRa-
I just want to say thank you so so much for doing these translations! I'm so excited to be able to actually read the novels.
Thank you for the new (half) chapter!
I've started to translate your chapters in my own language (italian). I'll link the first one to you when I'll post it on my lj. Is it ok? I hope so.
"See" you soon :D
Oh, I don't mind the lateness at all! Thank you for translating! ^^ *loves chapter*
Thanks for this new update. Really.
Thanks again!!
-SaKuRa-
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG YOU ARE SO AWESOME!!!!! KEEP DOING SUCH A GREAT WORK!!!!! I LOVE THIS NOVEL SO FUCKING MUCH!!! ;A; !!!! THE CHARACTERS ARE SO AMAZING AND ORIGINALS!!! AND TO SPEAK ABOUT THE PLOT OF THE HISTORY!!! TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN GURL!!!! X3
Ooooh the last chapter is thrilling! XDDD
Thank you very much for your work! It's a great privilrge for those who don't understand japanese to have you! ( > ◡ < )~❤
Ah thx so much for you're hard work! I know many many people appreciate this! I'll be looking foreward to next week!
gracias! muy agradable la traducción! suerte en tu vida diaria te seguiré hasta el final de la novela *_*!
Don't apologize! You're so full of pure win D:.
It's awesome you're planning on traslating all the volumes so we will be patient~
Also, I can't comment on ch3 entry so I'll thank you here :D THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!
PS: Navigation is a lot easier now thank you <3
many thanks for ur translation and hard work i truly appreciate it.
Thank you so much for the update! Please keep it up! You're doing a truly amazing thing here. You seem to be so devoted to this project, and you're an outstanding writer to boot :D
ah i couldn't ask on the q&a post... so here instead!
what level of japanese do you need to understand the No. 6 novels? the version with a lot of kana that is... thank you!
Muchas gracias excelente trabajo (Y)!
Thank's for the translation, I like very much this history and the only form to learn is for your page (excuseme, but my english is bad).
Your work is very important for us, your followers. Saludos desde México....
Thanks for your hard work! Now that you've uploaded the chapters in PDF, would you like to have them in other formats? I read them in my Kindle, so I have them in MOBI. I can upload them to, like, Mediafire, if you want. I can also convert them to other formats (but I can't garantee if all the chapters, links and other stuff work in formats like EPUB).
@Anonymous (Sep 8 2:28)
That would be great! If the MOBI files aren't too big (how big are they anyway?) you can send them right to my email and I can probably just upload it to Google Docs along with the PDFs. I think it's so nice when fans look out for other fans like this :) Thanks for offering!
re: MOBIs
One volume is around 200 KB. Is it okay if I send volume 1 and 2 together to your mail? Or should I send the first one (the sooner, the better)? Should I convert them to other formats? They take less than half a minute :)
I figured maybe there are some fans out there who can't/don't like to read longer texts on screen like me and since I do it anyway, why not? :)
@Anonymous (Sep 13 12:57)
Sounds dandy. I was just asking about the size because of limits with file attachments, but 200KB should be no problem. You can send however many files you like, at whatever time that's good for you, haha. I'll upload them as they come :) Thanks for doing this!
I don't like to read things on-screen either, I still print out longer stuff just so I can read it on paper lol.
I just want to express my deeply gratitude to you. Your translation is so beautiful. Reading your translation, I have a belief that you must be a talented writer. I truly hope that there will be a day when I could read your fanfic for No.6, or any other kind of writing from you.
I once thought of asking you permission for re-translating No.6 into Vietnamese. But I gave up that idea because I was afraid that my shortage of time would force me to drop No.6 half way and that would be a disrespectful action toward both No.6 itself and you, its first-hand translator. Deep inside I still could not abandon my desire to be attach myself to No.6 (as a translator). Can I say this paradox of mine is Asano sensei's and your fault?
@pdung31
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment! When people tell me they enjoy my writing, it's what really keeps me going each week (and love for No. 6, of course!).
Please do know that you (and anyone) has permission at all times to translate my script. I don't actually have the right to demand permission anyway, since I'm translating without Asano's consent as well. Don't give up! I'm pretty sure many Vietnamese fans will be thankful for your translation :)
Thank you for translating No.6! :'D A friend of mine told me to watch it but I never did.
I found your translations by chance just searching around for nothing in particular and I'm addicted! I'm printing them out to bring to school to read. XD By doing that, I got a friend of mine to read it. We're both hooked on it and can hardly wait for more!
I think just reading the novel translations will make me finally watch the anime. XD I heard it was a bittersweet ending so, I might hold out for a while.
Oh, you liked Tiger & Bunny? Me too! Plotless and childish as it was, it was a lot of fun, right?
I hear the No.6 anime got a lot of hate from the guys for "being too homo" or something? *Wince*
Didn't watch it myself, though ~ I felt it was a waste of time / bandwidth 'cause the novel is obviously better.
Frou Frou is the duo that has Imogen Heap as the singer right? I absolutely love her music, it's so surreal and beautiful.
The anime club at my college is showing T&B this quarter, so I'm excited for that. No No.6 though, hahaha. (Although they have shown BL anime before! The guys in the club actually enjoyed it xD )
Haha, after having just listened to this song; I can totally see how it fits with No.6 and Nezumi's POV in particular. In fact, I loved it so much I decided to edit a No.6 amv with this song! I also dedicated it to you <3 because I really am loving your translations like all the other No.6 fans that have read your work, we really appreciate what your doing and look forward to your every update. So, thanks a lot ;) you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQcm3nMWzZw my Youtube account name is sasut3m3, hope you enjoy!
Thank you for the translations! I really love it! Especially on how the imagery was portrayed -I could really feel the tension!!! Thanks again <3 <3
@Anonymous / sasut3m3
Wow, holy crap!!! That's amazing!!! I went and commented directly at your video; you can see the full extent of my gushing there, lol.
Thank you! I'm flattered!!
Thank you so much for putting the translation of the novels up. It really helps add the missing the dimensions that aren't covered by the anime. Thank you so much for the trouble you have taken upon yourself. It's greatly appreciated.
the video is beautiful, i just watched it... bht, the two last lines, "i love you" "don't ever think that i don't" are from the novel or not? (i can't remember them even in the Hiriajuu's summary...)
@Annamirka
Nnnn I don't think it's from the novel, I don't remember a phrase like that either. Creative license by sasut3m3, perhaps? :)
I'm really upset about T&B and No. 6 being over, too. Now I have almost nothing to look forward to during the week, except Teahouse on Wednesdays and No. 6 novel on Sundays. So sad... T_T But I'm so glad you're translating the novel, it's really great so far! I anticipate new updates every Sunday. It really makes my day, so thank you! :D And keep it up! <3
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/season-2-no-6-studio-bones/ PLEASE! Sign this petition to ask STUDIO BONES for a second season of NO. 6. The signature goal is 5,500 signatures. If you loved this series please sign. And MILLE GRAZIE to 9Ave for the translation of the novel.
Have a really wonderful Thanksgiving! I hope you get to enjoy a nice meal with your loved ones or at least do something fun. Here in the U.S. our Thanksgiving isn't for awhile. One thing that I love about fandoms like No.6 is how it brings people together from different countries all around the world...before we had the internet we were more confined to our own worlds =P
I remember when I read some reviews on the No.6 books one of the chief complaints I kept seeing was how repetitive Asano is when explaining things (apparently it will get even worse as we get to the later books)...but it's worth it for the wonderful parts in between xD
Thanks again.
when you said thanksgiving I was like huh? did I go into the future or something like that. Then I read Canada I was like oh I didn't think they had thanksgiving so early over there.
Oh my, that song is perfect! Japanese music always seems so poetic when it's translated. This bit:
This loneliness bears down on me
It comes closer, comes closer
And haunts me in my dreams, but
Like a flower blooming in the ashes
I awake, again and again
Ahhhhh it's wonderful!! Thanks for sharing!
It's great that you are putting in some much effort in these translations :) you even pick out fonts for the notes of different characters ^^ I was thinking, could you upload a chapter list for this novel... if you know how many more chapters there are till it finishes... umm.. it's not important, it's just so I know how much more to expect :)
Your translations are beautiful-- I really can't thank you enough for doing this. Really, keep up the good work~. <3
@Anonymous (Oct 15 7:13)
Ahaha, actually I have quite a bit of fun picking the fonts, imagining how their personalities would show up in their writing! :)
As for chapters - there are 9 volumes total in the series, and each volume usually has 5 chapters. I've usually put them off until I get closer to the end of the volume to put up the next, but now that I know there's demand for it, I'll be putting up future chapter titles whenever I find time inbetween. :) Thanks!
<3333 afterwords would be AMAZING
i-if it's not too much trouble i mean.
Regarding the afterwards: If you would be willing I would very much enjoy reading them.
Thank you for the updates. It is quite a commitment on your part updating each week and it is greatly appreciated.
Out of curiosity, are there any images from the novels? I would love to see what Nezumi and Shion looked originally. Thank you for all you've done so far! =)
@Anonymous
The novels don't have images of the characters (other than what you see on the covers).
Thank you so much for doing this!! And YES!!! I would love to be able to read the Afterwards written by the author.
I love how thoughtful your translation process is and the notes about the process. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I've posted pictures of the Novel Covers over at tumblr. Please forgive a novice's awkward posting style...
http://princessfangirl.tumblr.com/
I recently came to know of your translation of the No. 6 novel.
What can I say, I am in awe at your skill at translating this novel (I know that its not easy work translating novels) and I am also very happy to be able to read the No. 6 Novels.
Thank you so much.
thanks for the summaries, i translated that in italian as soon as you put them (by the way, i reached you with translations, damn no.6, it makes me do unthinkable things, i think i'm scared of myself XD).
About the afterwords, it's not the interview from the official guidebook, right? i would like to read it (and translate, i have to translate all that concerns no.6, it's something stronger than me... ). thanks again, you're wanderful, i think you are on my gods lists, second only to Asano-sensei. XD bye
@Annamirka
Wow, that's some dedication! I'm sure your Italian fans love you for it :)
I don't think the afterwords are in the guidebook. It's not interview-style, it's just Asano looking back on what she went through writing that volume. Looks like a lot of people want to see them, so I will find the time to upload them as I go.
oh, thanks thanks, did i already said that i'm going to build you a statue, one day? XD
I would be interested in the afterwords as well, but only if you have time (you do so much already) Judging by an interview with her that I read, Asano seems to be a thoughtful, interesting person.
I've been wanting to ask, how did you come up with the title "Nostalgia on 9th Avenue"? I love the sound of it. If it was a novel at a bookstore, I'd pick it up off the shelf ^^ Yet it doesn't seem to connect to No. 6?
Hopefully I'll have time to read the new chapter today when I get back from hiking!
@Trisha
The blog title is just completely random, haha. I like the word 'nostalgia' and all the things associated with it, and 9 is my favourite number, so... no deep meaning :) I didn't make it No. 6-related because I wanted to leave it open for future non-No. 6 projects if I ever wanted to do any after this series is finished.
Have fun hiking!
Thanks for the early update once again!!! XD
By the way I loved how you labelled this chapter - "the kissing chapter" LOL
i haven't been reading yet, but am still stalking your work all the same :) thanks for the effort.
I kind of found the light novel raw inserts on the net, and the characteristics look pretty different (in nezumi's case)^^ not in a bad way though :)
hahahs, i am totally rambling, just wanted to say thanks for all the work you do.
I finally started to post my Italian translation.
You can find it here: haidee83.livejournal.com
Thank you!!!
i bet you know how the series ends, eh? lucky :<
im gonna wait to finish the novel before continuing the anime.... it almost spoiled the story for me! its rly bad as an anime....
that being said, i look forward to your updates each week!
since i'm stalking you like a creeper, i noticed soon the blank chapter.
We love you, you know! XD
Thank you so much for these translations. And seeing the pdfs almost made me cry for joy *___*
Yes, it's cold here too!
hope you get better soon!
*kisses*
magda
uwah, it says this post is the 1st january! get well soon O:
I'm asking something totally irrelevant here >O< but how do you make the posts collapse, with a "read more" link at the end. I really don't want huge walls of text to occupy my blog, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I am using the very old template by the way... It's okay if you are busy, since it's not that important ^^
@melodic thoughts
I'm not sure if this works for all templates, but if you're using the new Blogger interface, there's a way to do it in the post editor:
https://support.google.com/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=154172&topic=1708421&ctx=topic
If you edit with raw HTML like I do, you can just use the tag <!-- more --> and all the text after that will be hidden.
oh god, i can't believe it was this easy... i should have asked you earlier >0<
seriously, thank you XD you're a livesaver. Now my translations look so much neater ^^
THANK YOU! REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY. Thank you for these high-quality translations. So very very very good. I almost cried when I saw your blog right after watching the anime. I'm totally in love with this series. Really, WAAAAAAAAAAAH! thank you so much!!!!!! SO HAPPY! XD I LOVE YOU!! ヘ(^_^ヘ)(ノ^_^)ノ
Thank You soo much for your hard work! And Happy New Year :D
By happy coincidence I stumbled upon this blog. Thank you for doing this translation!
you are our saviour hehe ^^
I finished reading no.6 volume 5 in french, sadly they stopped the publication to this volume >< (been years now, so i guess they don't plan to continue, unless someone else buy this licence again...) it's why I can't thank you enough for your hard work!
cheers,
Narumi
You are my hero!thank you so much for doing this awonderful translation.Please,update new chapter soon!i can't wait to know what's happen next
Thanks again...from Vietnam
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this or not, but since you changed 'Sion' to 'Shion', words that contain 'sion' have also been changed, e.g., 'precision' is now 'preciShion'. Just thought I'd let you know.
Sorry, can you tell me which specific chapters they were on (and were there a lot)? I did a search through all my posts and the only words that turned up other than "Shion" were "cushion" and "fashion"... I searched "precishion" just in case and that turned up nothing either.
Oh, you must mean the PDFs of the volumes, right? Those aren't made by me, but I'll be sure to pass the message on. Thanks!
ah yes, I'm on it! I'll probably be able to give the new pdf's to 9ave in an hour or two.... should be corrected tomorrow at the latest! thanks for pointing it out :)
Thanks for your hard work from Russian readers!
Tuesday, January 1, 2013?
Your post is too advanced for us here in the present.
Time to fix the screwed-up date-system on your blog.
@Anonymous
That's done on purpose to make it a sticky post, haha.
Hi sorry if this question's stupid
but where's the pdf for volume 5,6,7,8,9? ;_;
@rainbow-monster
They aren't up because I haven't translated them yet.
Is it bad I don't want No.6 novels to be licensed? Because if they are, then you are going to stop translating. Not everybody lives in USA. And, of course, not everybody can buy them in the Internet. I'm talking for other people, you know? Because even if I don't live in USA I can get them time to time if I travel there, but what about other people?
It kind of bothers me because I really love your translations. I don't mind paying for the novels, but, I don't know, I will miss your translations.
@Anonymous
I was so moved by your comment; thank you! (´；ω；｀) And of course, having been with this series for half a year now, if it does get licensed it will be hard for me to let it go too.
Although I've thrown the link up in the best interests of those who want to get it licensed, if we're talking about how likely it is to happen, I don't think it is very likely. I think for an English publisher to pick it up, it would have to be something very big -- at least Naruto or Haruhi class. Since No. 6 is pretty niche, I have doubts they'll pick it up (which is also why I picked up the series to translate myself).
Thank you for letting me know, nonetheless. :) For the time being, I'll still be translating.
I read on the web that Asano Atsuko will write a special sequel of No.6 and it's supposed to be about Nezumi's origin & true name and Shion's father identity. The release is TBD.
Do you know something about it?
@Heart Crusader - non∞
No, I don't know anything beyond the fact that she's writing it. As far as I know, Asano has no blog or Twitter either, so...
Je vous remercie...
"No, I don't know anything beyond the fact that she's writing it. As far as I know, Asano has no blog or Twitter either, so... " (about the special sequel), how much is this news reliable? I mean, i heard this news come from a person's tweet, whose friend assisted to Asano's conference i-don't-know-when/where and heard this... but it's so much a far news that it's still uncertain.
@Annamirka
Yeah, I'm not sure how reliable it is either. I don't think the anime's official site is going to be announcing stuff about the book, and Kodansha's sites probably won't say anything until they have a release date.
Hope for the best I guess. :( I really wish Asano had a blog or something.
It's ok, translating is an heavy task, and rash will only make damage rather than actual benefit.
Thanks so much for translating all this while! I always enjoy your translations every Sunday ^^
Good luck for your exams, and hope you get well soon!
Ah, I have a question for you! You are referring Inukashi as 'he'; why bis it? Is it because he use 'ore' or some similar phrases? Because it is said that originally Inukashi is 'she'... I'm just curious. Thank you so much! :3
And also, thank you for the translation until now! X3
@flow
Japanese pronouns have no gender, so technically there is no way of telling if he/she is a boy or a girl. I started out with "he" because the characters assume/act like he's a guy, and the narrative voice often sides with the characters.
I was thinking of changing the pronoun halfway through (around the time Shion starts to suspect), but I thought it would be too abrupt no matter where, so I decided to keep "he". I think the story leans more towards the interpretation of Inukashi being a girl, but again, the novel doesn't really say.
I just saw your blog, and, oh my god, I just want to thank you. I'm a French girl and lately I've been, yeah, a little bit obsessed by No 6. So when I learnt that the novels were published in France, I was so happy ! But I just finished the 5th tome and cried, I didn't know that they stopped to publish the books.
And I found your blog, which is awesome, and thank you, THANK YOU for ALL your work.
THANKYOU!!! i really love your translations!!! so masterly!! and its like none of the essence is lost!! and youre kind enough to give us translation notes as well!!! your awesome! and since i dont have an account on any of the profiles mentioned and i dont wanna be an 'anonymous' so ill just say from
_Sara
Maybe i'm totally hopeless with tweetter but.... i can't find you Q_Q i'm searching @9th_ave but i can't find it at all...
@Annamirka
Here you are!
http://twitter.com/#!/9th_ave
There won't be anything special on it though hahaha.
Thank you so so much for the translation! And thank you for promising a chapter every week, that's very kind of you :) and it must be hard to keep such a promise! Keep up the good work!
I just want to say thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all the wonderful work you're doing translating this amazing story. I've read the first volume so far and it has literally taken my breath away. I've read a bit of the Japanese novel but I'm not quite there yet as far as reading ability goes, so this to me was a godsend. You're doing a wonderful thing for us fans and I cant express my gratitude enough.
Oh and also i've been converting these into .mobi format so I can read on my kindle and would be happy to share them if anyone wants to use them. Okay to post the links here?
@domokun11134
Thank you for the thoughtful comment! As for the .mobi files, feel free to post them here or email them to me, and I can post them up on the blog.
My email: rayquo[at]gmail.com
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your work!!! I've discovered your blog today and I am really grateful for what you've done ^^
Also thanks to Masa Hoyi for the pdfs :D
I can't even count how many times I visit your blog during a week :) Thanks so much!!
Hello. Can someone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE send me the english pdf files of what novels you might have? I tried looking for them on this page and her blog and can't find it if it is posted! My e-mail is srs25us@yahoo.com. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
hello.i'm one of the no.6 readers and i only wanted to thank you for your efforts till now!!^-^
You are AMAZING!!! Thank you for translating No. 6 in English and sharing it.
Thank you for all your continuous work on translating this great series! You are amazing
Thank you so much, I love this novel and your translations that are very good. Again thank you and take care
Thank you very much for translating these novels. I was sick yesterday, so I sat in bed and read them all afternoon. I really appreciate your talent and hard work. When my friend first showed me the anime, I instantly fell in love with the characters and the story, and I am very grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to read these wonderful books in English.
Thanks so much for taking the time to translate this amazing series!!! <3
Thank you for translating this series. It is very wonderful what you are doing. I hope that the comments here will give you encouragement. We are all supporting you!
Oh my. I think I love you.
Thank you, you're wonderful!
You are so wonderful! Thank you again for all your hard work! I have the rest of the volumes in Mobi format if you'd like me to send them to you.
Thanks so much for such a wonderful journey. Thanks for keeping the No 6 spirit alive. Looking forward for the reunion.
Thank you very much for translating No. 6 until now^^!I am french and thanks to you I was able to read volume 6, 7, 8 and 9 on your blog. Before I was in despair because the french publisher answered that he wouldn't edit the following of no 6. So thanks a lot ( sorry for my bad english )^^!
Hi I hope you are reading this but anyway I just wanted to ask and inform you if you gave the consent for someone to post the translated novel on fanfiction.net or if you know something about it if so please inform to the person you allowed to post there that fanfiction.net is for fanficts not for the translations of the novels if not then you got a big problem
Hi. Can you upload the mobi version of vol. 7-9 please? thanks :)
Hello! One of my readers made the mobi files and e-mailed them to me, so I'm not sure how to make them myself. Sorry!
No, I did not give consent to anyone to repost outside this blog. Do you happen to have a link to the fanfiction.net story? I've tried looking on the site myself and haven't been able to find it. Thank you!
you are the best <3
by reunion... do you mean Shion will get to see Nezumi again? :D
Also, will you be translating No. 6 Beyond?
Its fine... just when i posted this here people went there and reported the case so it was taken out which is why you could not find it. You have very loyal readers here :D soo its fine now.
Whoa!! And I had no idea this was happening. What would I do without readers like you (and everyone who reported to ff.net -- thanks if you're reading this!), haha. Thank you for letting me know. :)
It seems like I have a slightly different opinion about this chapter than other ^^. To me, it's not like Shion is being corrupted yet, this is just a natural process that will happen for ones who stay on top and hold the power to control. Being cold, forceful, manipulate, etc, all of these are parts of characteristic of a leader. Just think about the ones who are leading our lives right now, they are just the same. A specific level of control is needed to maintain the stability and progress in everything. This chapter is quite realistic and I don't find anything wrong with the act of Shion.
But once one gets power, he can be controlled by the power itself. That's why this process is terrifying and it's possible for Shion to lose himself and fail for the same mistake of No.6's previous rulers. Shion has way too much capacity of a leader than he ever imaged before (and it's not like he did think about his leadership before he becomes the head of rebuild council), so he is afraid of himself for what he is being right now and what he may become later (without Nezumi).
I know we will not have reunion scene from Asano, so I can just image it by myself :((((((((((((
WOOOOW I can't believe you finished translating everything!!!! AHHH 1000000....000 thank yous!!!!! i'll always be grateful to you for what had you done!!!!
awwww but I really hope that you will continue translating other japanese novels! It's very difficult to find translations and I believe that the Japanese writing is VERY good! what a shame there are not a lot of translations and/or translators willing to provide all these thoughts transformed in words to the rest of the world :(
I wish you the best and i'll come around and visit your blog whenever I can :)... hopefully you'll find another awesome novel and will translate it 8D
I love you *-* I really love you. In this way even people who can't afford to buy the manga can enjoy No. 6! You can't immagine how grateful I am!!! ^-^
thank you so much for translating no.6! i can't wait to read the short story of no.6 and the new "Flowers for beautiful days". you're the best!
If you have Calibre or anything like is quite easy to make a mobi from a epub. Especially if you don't care that much about formatting and editing.
Thank you very much for your translations. I've waited for the main story complete translation to start reading, even if I already know the plot by the anime and now I've discovered that there is another volume o.o. May I ask if also the last volume ( Bayond ) is completed or if there are still other chapters? I'm a bit lost ^^. Thanks Shizuka
I've read quite a lot of Narise Konohara novels ( almost all the ones already translated in english). I like her works even if they are sometimes emotionally "stressfull" I.e. All the "Cold" serie. So I'm really looking forward for your translation!! Thanks Shizuka
Thanks for the comment! Beyond is complete now, and at this point this blog is up to date with all the extras Asano has written as well. If she writes more in the future, I will most likely translate them too. :)
Oh man I agree, her "COLD" series was painful. I did a search to see if anyone has translated Hako no naka yet and no one has seemed to... I hope some group hasn't picked it up already? Thanks for the comment, my first post for "Hako" should be coming soon :)
