If the story sucks, it's probably my fault.

Hi. Back again, for what it's worth. Hopefully with a computer that I actually bought new instead of vulturing as I was previously wont to do, I won't have the same disaster I did last time and be stuck doing this all over again.

My original intention was to to just spruce up the site and update the formatting to a more readable level. I was inspired by the clean formatting of the awesome Inuyasha Sengoku O Tougi Zoushi site maintained by Chris Rijk. I've even decided to translate the sound effects. We'll see how far I get. Anyway, enough of my blathering...

The following are the comics I plan to work on as time goes by. When and how fast are different beasts altogether:
A Gust of Wind
 
Monster Collection
 
The Unicorn's Maiden
 
The Violinist of Hameln
 
There are plenty of other great manga out there, and luckily, already being translated. Follow these links!
Rurouni Kenshin

Maigo-chan's Ruroken Translations: Covers everything from the beginning to end of the Kyoto Arc.

End of Summer: Covers the Memory Arc. Bring hankies. Lots of 'em.

Serizawa Kamo's Rurouni Kenshin Translation Index: Going to have everything post-Kyoto covered, right to the end. Either it's been done or it's going to. You know, I was so happy to see the Free Talks translated (subarashii!) that I forgot to check. Go anyway!

 
Ranma 1/2
I know, I know, Viz is already releasing these, but I've seen molasses on a winter morning move faster. Not that I don't like VIZ, they just seem to have a problem releasing things in a reasonable amount of time. If you already own the tankoubons and would like to know what they say...

Ranma 1/2 FAQ: Just about everything available information and translation wise concerning landmark series. All hail Chris Rijk!

Ranma 1/2 Project: A really interesting take on the translation process. They only have a select few available, but they have actually scanned in the pages and put in the dialogue. Very neat!

 
Inuyasha
The newest and very cool series from the Ranma genius herself: Rumiko Takahashi. I know, Viz says they're releasing this concurrently with the Japanese release. Yeah, right.

Inuyasha - Sengoku O Tougi Zoushi: Has all the manga translated up to the current issue (as it comes out every week!) From the person who was kind enough to give us the Ranma 1/2 FAQ (and me the IY logo! Thanks Chris!) What a saint.

 

On this page I'm going to attempt to list all the places where you can buy manga for reasonable prices and get them in a reasonable amount of time. Definitely an ongoing process and I'll definitely take places you have bought successfully from before...
