So I have acquired the traditional chinese version for the gray ark and I can translate it into english for the rest of you to enjoy.
I think the fire for the Gray Ark has died down and perhaps a bunch of people have already translated parts or maybe the whole book so I want to ask, which part of the book do you want me to translate the most? You can choose from any of the options below.
Translations will be slow because I'm pretty busy with projects but I should be able to spare some time to translate the book and hopefully I'll be able to translate almost the whole book by the end of this year.
1. Black Order register FILE 1 ( Exorcists, Generals, Supreme Generals)
2. Mission Reports and Black Order Database (Includes the personal reflections by the exorcists about different missions)
3. Black Order register FILE 2 (Main Branch Staff, Side Branch Staff, Central Staff, Supporters, Misc characters)
4. Guide to entering the Black Order (Important info, the organisation, Innocence, Exorcists, Anti-Akuma weapons, Map of Black Order and details about rooms)
5. Weapons and Players from History (Earl, Noah, Akuma,)
I don't think you need me to translate character relationship.
6.Black Order Opinion box (Basically fan opinions, votings, quiz, fanart... and the glossary)
7. Hoshino Katsura's Era (Black White Interview-Interview with Hoshino and her editors, Hoshino's design works, making of dgray-man, Q&A as a new artist.) Translations for Zone are out there somewhere so I won't do it.
And please tell me if there are already translations out there so I don't have to do it.
I have translated Komui's notes to the readers found in the front inner flap as well as Hoshino's thank you notes on the last page of the fanbook, just to get something started.
From Komui Lee
Greetings, I am the supervisor for the black order Komui Lee. This time, for the sake of those who are going to join the Black Order, we are making a Black Order guide book. (Just for editing this book, they locked me up for three days! Read it seriously ok? Damn it.) For the sake of our world, let's work hard together.
Thank you everyone for buying the D.Gray-man Fanbook. For me to be able to produce this sort of book is really due to the support of D.gray-man's fans. If everyone enjoys reading this, I would be happy too.
For me, the most memorable part in the production of this book is the interview with previous editor Y. Even though there is a little protest in my heart "WHY?", it's just a small one! But everyone said "I'm sure the fans look forward to seeing Hoshino vs Y" So I was mentally prepared.
So was it up to your expectations, only the readers would know but it was a wonderful memory.
Finally. I would like to thank the fans and the editorial department who were involved in the production of this book. I am sincerely grateful.
From now on, I would like to invite everyone to continue giving their support to the Noahs and Exorcists who are working very hard in the world of D.Gray-man.
Thank you.
