Saying "fuck slow scanlations/translations."I'm going to actually DO some translating this summer. I have four volumes of Rozen Maiden (second series) sitting next to me in Japanese, and while I vaguely remember the scanlations I read, given the manga reading sites have been giving me viruses every time I go lately, and I remember last year that no one translated this series for EIGHT MONTHS.
Oh, and there's a fifth volume out, which, Vol 4 was the end of the scanlations I read, so I really, really want to read that.
...And Kinokuniya is telling me that there's a
novel and it's 230 pages and holy shit I need this like burning.
SO, summer goal, translate all five of the Rozen Maiden Tales volumes for my personal self. And then see if I can find some raws. Not Chinese raws. Because why were the raws for this series always in Chinese anyway?
Lolanyway. And then maybe I'll find/make a scanlation group to hang with. Because the translation of the last Pandora Hearts chapter REALLY IRKED ME and when me and my measly Japanese skills can get a more accurate translation of the last page with one kanji search and an educated guess... Well. Rozen first. Then we'll see how it goes.
