COMMISSIONS and Updates

Another busy week, including more yuri goodness, so let’s get to it!

COMMISSION: “HaruNatsuAkiFuyu” by Eiki Eiki and Zaou Taishi

.
I worked on JoeS.’s commissions backwards. This is the 2nd of two recent commissions by JoeS, but was done 1st.

This “HaruNatsuAkiFuyu (はるなつあきふゆ)” is a yuri doujinshi of the commercially published manga, “HaruNatsuAkiFuyu (春夏秋冬) (Spring Summer Fall Winter)” Both are done by Eiki Eiki and Zaou Taishi. The doujinshi is from their circle, Kozouya (aka Eiki Eiki and Zaou Taishi).

You can find Hi-rez raws of both mangas at Sohma-heo’s blog (http://sohma-heo.livejournal.com/1323.html).

You can also find the translated version of the manga at Lililicious (http://www.lililicious.net/projectDet.php?id=136). I found out after I had translated the doujin for JoeS, that Lililicious is planning on translating the doujin as well. Please encourage them to continue with their plans. I’m sure they will have a different take on the dialog. Also, the doujinshi does contain a few pages where the characters undergo a gender-reversal (ie. non-hentai yaoi), and re-enact scenes from the manga. I’m not translating these pages. Perhaps Lillilicious will.

For some reason, I found myself… erm… “drawn” to the art of this doujinshi that I ended up: 1) cleaning up the low-rez file I initially had, including color-correcting the cover, 2) taking extra care to find similar fonts to match the Japanese version (a significant aspect of this doujinshi), 3) searching for more info on the authors and manga, 4) and finally, stumbling across Sohma-heo’s blog and finding a nice, hi-rez version, thus rendering some of my laborious clean up totally useless! *sigh*

However, thanks to Sohma-heo’s blog, besides getting the nice, hi-rez files, I ended up discovering the doujinshi’s origin, namely the manga. ^_^

COMMISSION: “Doki Doki Ayu x Cirno”

..
A Touhou Project yuri doujinshi, and the 1st of the two projects commissioned by JoeS.  Based on  Phantasmagoria of Flower View (東方花映塚 ,Tōhō Kaeizuka), to be precise.

Unfortunately, unlike “HaruNatsuAkiFuyu,” I wasn’t able to find a nice hi-rez raw file. Thankfully, the artwork was simpler than “HaruNatsu…,” so resizing a 600x848px image to 1132×1600 (not to mention the usual cleanup) wasn’t too bad to do.

Here’s the low-rez cover for comparison.

COMMISSION:  “St. Penalty Gakuen Goku” by Royal Koyanagi, Omake and cover only.

....
2Hip @ WWOEC compiled and cleaned the translations by various translators for this manga, but the omake and cover were yet to be translated. So, 2Hip commissioned me.  The postscript page was a bitch to read; but the buxom babe on the page made it worth it!  You can view all the pages, except the TOC page, above.

COMMISSION: “Bête Obscene” by Tenjiku Rounin, Chapter 1 & 2

...
In a similar situation with “Gift” by Hagashiyama Show, Nemesis commissioned me to do the script for Chapters 1 and 2. Nemesis wanted to do the editing… totally free! Although this project started out as a commission, I’ll be posting it on the sponsored projects page some time this week, in case there are those who want to help Nemesis out.

A word about the story: If you like heavy, intriguing, psychological dramas, this one’s for you! IMHO, I don’t think this one is as twisted and disturbing as Fuyunaga’s “Sekai no Donzoko…,” but it’s still heavy nonetheless.

A word from the commissioner/editor, Nemesis:
“Well, this is my first long editing work ever, so I’m technically still a noob. It was done under some unfortunate circumstances, and incredibly enough it was good therapy; it kept my mind off from the previous events, and from getting overly depressed and paranoid of the what if’s.

Anyways enough of me. Thank you again, Toni, for such superb work, my next project won’t be continuing on this for a while, so you can go back to some lighter, shorter stuff. We all need a little break from these down beats^^.”

PROJECT UPDATES AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

  • @suiton: Re: Puberty Crazies
    Puberty Crazies, Harem x Harem, and Gift Update:
    Now that I got a bunch of commissions done, I’ll be trying to tie up some “loose ends” up this week. (wish me luck!  *fingers crossed*) Primarily, the last 3 (?) chapters of “Puberty Crazies,” the last two chapters of “Harem x Harem,” and the script(s) for “Gift” chapter 3 on. This is a tall order, ‘coz Puberty Crazies and, to a lesser degree, Harem x Harem are editing challenges. Gift, because of the amount of text, and the small fonts here and there, is a script-writing challenge! All can be an eye-strain.

    Thank you for your interest in Puberty Crazies, suiton. Please keep in mind, I’m not the fastest translator (I’m still teaching myself as I go), and I’m a fussy editor (I dispatch crappy scans and I actually take the time to improve the image whenever possible!). I’ve gotten a bit faster in doing both, but it’s still a process and sometimes laborious at that!

  • @Zathael: RE: Koe de Oshigoto.
    Thanks Zathael. I wouldn’t mind the extra cash, believe me. But I’m already trying to squeeze in a script this week for Eternia for chapter 8 of “Koe De Oshigoto.” (There is my TIP JAR, y’know! ^_^;; )  If all goes well for this weekend (that is, if I don’t get called in to work), I’ll be translating/editing chapter 9 while Eternia edits chapter 8… as well as getting out the next chapters to Hana’s Holiday 2, …Muuko-san, and Muv-Luv Unlimited… Well, Muv-Luv might be kinda pushing it, but we’ll see. ^_^;;  LOL!

    Most people don’t care to realize this, but each character in Koe de Oshigoto practically has their own speaking style; I’ve been trying to flesh that out in English as best as possible. This is yet another writing/translating challenge!

  • @RealGizmo
    I thought about Sharebee, but just never got around to trying it out. Thanks for mentioning it, though. I think you gave me just enough of a nudge to try it! Thanks again!
  • @bakaneko:
    Thank you, bakaneko, for your kind words and for visiting my blog!  Azarius and I are glad you like “Gift.”  Please look forward to the next chapter! ^_^
  • @MrTeatime
    Glad you like Princess+Propose and Koe De Oshigoto. Please look forward to the next chapters! ^_^
