Stories of Sakuya - In the New World


Finally finished this one.  Lot's more dialogue than the last two so it took more total work time.  Also some more re-drawing.  I hope I did okay on that part...

Don't really have much to say about the chapter. I think it's funny how the author makes the Scarlet Mist incident just a screw up on Remilia's part.
Anyway, on to the next one.

*Edit*
 Just my luck, going through this chapter again I noticed a screwup on one of the redraws.  Really tiny, but really bugged me once I noticed it.  Updated the download link with the fix, probably not even noticeable at a glance but I couldn't leave it alone.

Stories of Sakuya - Queen of the Night


Keeping the momentum going, here's chapter 5 of Ichinose's Stories of Sakuya.  When I first glanced through this chapter I was a little disappointed with the pacing towards the end.  A little too quickly wrapped up with not much explanation.  But I guess it's for the best. In a series titled 'Stories of Sakuya,' you don't really want to use too much of the story focusing on the problems around the rest.  I just wish Tarou had realized that before he made that such a big part of the setup.

One translation note:  When Meiling breaks through the floor, the kanji is read in Japanese as "ha" and the meaning was akin to a type of school or discipline, yet it seems like she was just letting out a kind of battle yell.  Since they bothered to add a meaning to her yell I thought adding the Chinese reading, Pai, would not only go well with China-san but would also keep the idea that what she yelled actually meant something instead of just having her yell "Ha!"  I hope it works...

Anyway, the next chapter 'In the New World' might take a little longer.  It's a lot more dialogue heavy than the last two.  But it's coming.

Stories of Sakuya - Magic Garden




For my first attempt at a translation, I decided to start with something simple.
Ichinose’s ‘stories of sakuya’ has been floating around for a couple of years with only the first three chapters translated and the fourth was short but sweet so it seemed a perfect choice.  Apologies, but I left the author‘s ‘afterward’ untranslated.

About the chapter; it’s always nice to see a KouMaKan based story where Meiling doesn’t end up with a bunch of knives sticking out of her head. even though it makes me laugh every time ^_^; Loli 
Sakuya is cute but I still liked seeing how she and Meiling interacted in the first chapter.  I’d
like to see more of that.  In good time I suppose.
