In-Progress Translations &
Translation Requests
My current plan for translations is as follows:
The Fire Hunter Series 2 - Shadow of Flame
The Fire Hunter Series 3 - Fangs of Fire
The BQ Books (Kaneko Atsushi)
R: The Original
(Kaneko Atsushi)
Gatchaman Novel
(Toriumi Jinzo)
Beyond the Werefox Whistle (Uehashi Nahoko)
The Swallows Will Not Return (Sakai Eri)
Nothing to Show for it Nigorikawa (Sakai Eri)
Yatagarasu Series by Chisato Abe
Teito Monogatari Series by Hiroshi Aramata
The schedule is subject to change. My commitment is not to go slower than this. I can (and often do) go faster.
Got a translation request? No guarantees I'll honor it, but if it's anything like what I've been translating I may add it to the list. :) Put any requests in the comments below.
I hate that I have to do this, but some people either can't read or are downright rude, so here are some basic rules for translation requests:
(1) Include the title of the series and the author in your request. (Shockingly, I've had people reach out via email to translate X series with no author or context!)
(2) Request translations in this space. From now on, requests sent
solely to my translation email will be ignored. (You can email me the
request and post it here; that's fine. But I'll only reply to the
request here.)
(3) (Optional, but loved): Include the ISBN number of the book or books you're requesting to have translated. Saves me a few minutes of Googling and makes both acquisition and research much easier. Also, do a quick Google search to see if someone else has fanlated or officially translated a book already. There are quite a few people out there just like me fighting the good fight. :)
Hi I would like to request Teito Monogatari (The Tale of the Imperial Capital) by Hiroshi Aramata.
ReplyDeleteThank you

Sure thing! The series looks interesting and it's really cheap and easy for me to get, so I lose nothing by giving it a try. Thanks for the suggestion!
DeleteI've added the series to this page and will update its status as I work on it :) Don't expect immediate updates, but I should be able to start working on it in a few months.
I finally got these delivered yesterday! :) And as a bit of a bonus there are some extra short story collections by the author, including short stories set in the same world. It's like late Christmas. I should be able to do some prework on these this month.
DeleteHi, could I interest you in translating the Yatagarasu series by Chisato Abe?
ReplyDeleteThe list of ISBNs can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yatagarasu_(novel_series)#Novels
Thank you for your consideration!!
Hi there! These are a bit pricey but they definitely align with my interests (and I *can* get them where I live, which is always an important consideration!) I acquired Teito Monogatari this month and should be able to afford the first and second book (at least) of Yatagarasu next month.
DeleteIt's on my list! :)
Omg, yay! This is so exciting! Thank you!!!
DeleteYatagarasu is on my list as well, and it's on sale in digital format so I've picked up the first book that way. I'll keep an eye out for physical copies for good prices this month.
DeleteTake care!
Hello. Just stumbled onto this site, and I wanted to thank you for translating Moribito, Fire Hunter, and hopefully Yatagarasu.
ReplyDeleteAfter watching each of their anime adaptations, I really wanted to read the source novels, but wasn't sure anyone had translated them. I really appreciate all the time, effort, and love this all must take.
Thanks again!
Thanks for your thanks :) Yatagarasu should start posting consistently this month or next month. You can check this post for status, links and how close to completion projects are.
