Hi there everyone. This winter isn't looking very busy and I'm a huge 502 fan (second only to the Misfits), so I've decided to take on the prequel manga as a typesetting project. The raws and translations, including the first page (which I'll not post) can be found here: >>11523 I'll post Chapter 00 for now, and will continue the other chapters over the winter, when I have time. Huge thanks to the translator, you did a great job!
... and that's Chapter 0. Expect Chapter 1 some time soon!
This is fantastic! Good job editing and rewording, and great choice of fonts. Looking forward to the rest. Also, feel free to let me know if you need a translation for a specific sound effect or anything I missed/didn't translate.
>>13257 Thanks! My personal policy is to keep as much of the artwork intact, including artist-drawn onomatopoeia. Generally readers know enough gana/kana to understand the sounds being made, let alone context, so I generally leave them alone.
Chapter 1.
And that's Chapter 1. A few responsibilities are piling up prior to Christmas so Chapter 2 may come slower.
Won't be able to complete Chapter 2 until after Christmas vacation. Please accept a cute old 4koma as my apology.
Chapter 2.
>Captcha: Enfields 1440
And that's Chapter 2. Is there somewhere fan translations/typesets would typically go? Translator-san: if these were to get uploaded somewhere, how would you like to be credited? I'm not experienced at this.
>>13449 I think you should drop the "only" in the second set of bubbles. "...although I confess to some surprise that you engaged the enemy in the first place." or similar would be a better fit for the feeling. She's not surprised that they took it out, but more that they fought it in the first place without checking in. >>13457 You can credit me as qwerty123qwerty or just as anonymous, I don't really mind either way. As far as where to upload these, maybe Batoto? Seemed decent last time I used it.
>>13460 Agreed! Here's the fix. I'll look into Batoto, thank you. No point in keeping this exclusive to Helma.
>>13462 Could you possibly provide a download link as well? Mediafire/Mega or whatever works best for you.
>>13465 You got it. Let me know if this works. http://www.mediafire.com/file/bcbx6zux3f0cqu1/Prequel_00.zip http://www.mediafire.com/file/yh2n9x4pn70nj7i/Prequel_01.zip http://www.mediafire.com/file/gj4ejaka7a7bpwu/Prequel_02.zip
>>13468 Awesome thanks! Everything looks good.
>>13460 >>13462 You might've seen the news too but just in case, Batoto's going down so that place is no good anymore sadly. Goddamn it.
>>13479 Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Eagle. Although I'm not as familiar with free readers (I just torrent), it really seems like Batoto was the best. The good news is that everything is being kept and the owner seems to be strongly implying that there will likely be someone taking up the mantle under a new domain? I'll finish up to what qwerty123qwerty has translated, and see if anything transpires in the mean time...
Chapter 03.
