FYI - the translating happens in two passes. Pass one is to do the rough translation. After a day or two, when the mind is fresh, it's time to do pass two to clean things up. Normally, this happens in private, but Mr. Dummy's system drags it out into the harsh public light.

In the future, please refrain from proofing until pass two is complete. I'll drop a note indicating when the translating has been completed.

Ok, we know now the method of Boke. Then we shall wait for your signal when the second step is completed.

I know the system for readers is public. But i have some words for readers: the system has always chance for corrections and changing texts in balloons. You may read it already, if you cannot wait for the story. But if you want read good translations, then you must wait for edited pages releases.

You're the boss

The best IMHO would be that you upload 2-3 chapters in advance, so that translation, proofreading and editing can be done simultaneously.

"aren't there any nice girls out there for me?"

I really don't like the repetition, but I can't come out with a way to avoid it. Suggestions?

p13: "there's no loose ends like before" I'm really not sure, but isn't it supposed to be "there are no loose ends"?

Except these two notes, proofreading is finished.

I've been kind of busy lately, and I last looked before Boke put up the second draft of the translation. Sorry; if these comments are too late, I understand. My comments are pretty minor, and you may not want to make the changes anyways.

Cover: Noticed some white spotting, but it may have been there in the original copy.

p017: "Hiromi, you some sort of old lady?" -> "Hiromi, are you some sort of old lady?"

Some people will omit the verb here, but I like it better with the verb.

p022: ". . . that you have both genitals like me?" -> ". . . that you have genitalia like me?"

Either is correct according to most modern English dictionaries, but I think the Latin plural sounds better here.

applied.

Quote:

IMHO genitalia is way too formal to be used here.

And finally the pages are now edited and extra pages added. It's now on the server, check your private message box.

And i have one comment:
The balloon on page 19, 'Stay still a minute':
Should not better like 'Stay still for a minute' ?

There are no more comments.
Oh yes, i should add the back of the book cover to the zip package right?
I can scan the full cover, but is not useful for online reading. I can put on the site as separated download. And i put also the mini posters in bigger format on the site. But first cleaning it better because the white line in the fold area.

No issues.

Common in spoken English.

Quote:

Grammatically correct, but I prefer the first.

Ouch... torrent is now started. But for my eyes, it looks good enough and no strange faults. No big worries.

Have checked the pages many times if the texts are good placed. I made little changes and should now be fine. I use every text from the online translated pages (copy paste) and see at some places the text must be reformatted because the some bubbles on the pages. I'm satisfied enough with the edited pages. You too?

Think about it, i forgot the DS credits on the first chapter page. That was stupid from me.
That makes rerelease possible now.

I put your optimized pictures in next rerelease.
Your edits is credited in first chapter page.
Torrent v2 is now started.

Can't see it in the download page...

did you just overwrite the old one? This should not be done, since (for example) Manganews will not advertise it.
