I was wondering if you'd allow a scanlation to be done of it. I wouldn't mind editing in the text (though I'd probably do it quickly and not redraw stuff in because it takes so long... and I'm lazy).

[anndor]

Hahaha. Man I was 5 minutes slower than you XD

[cavechan]

We can collab or something xD You do first half, I do the second or something.

We had some reservations about making scanslations, mostly legal, but as long as you guys have maiki's permission to use the scans then that's okay with us. Just remember to stop them when/if the official US version is released~ ♥

We'd like to be credited on the scans (Kay and Libek) and maybe a link to the community. Link the scanslations to us when you're done, and we'll post a link here!

We can also host on Libek's webserver if you need.

Yaaaaay! Thank you!

I asked this before a while ago but maybe it got lost somewhere.

Would it be ok if I used these translations to for a scanlation? I'd credit however you guys want to be credited (individually, to this community, etc).

Please let me know. :D

Here for our previous comment, but the gist is that you two should go for it! Collaborating or otherwise. ^_~

[anndor]

Woo!

Haha, just minutes or so after you posted this, I posted my attempt at a translation. XD; So, I was checking mine against yours to see how I did, haha.

I hear you on the passive voice. Ugh. He seriously had no motivation. I also hear you soo much on Seifer's line about ローマンチック. No wonder it was making funky sense to me.

[jen_kat]

Oh, and also, if people ask you for permission to use your trans, don't forget to remind them to ask maiki for permission to use the scans.

[anndor]

*has already done so. :D*

I think it's very appropriate for him, but at the same time it's kind of painful. ;_;

(That line is both horrible to translate and awesome to read. XD Is he threatening them with romanticism?!)

;__; Couldn't have said it better myself. (Except by adding a second underscore!)

Thanks for the trans X3

You know, I really like the pacing Shiro Amano has so far with KHII. KHI was okay, CoM was far too short (lacked a chunk of Riku's story?!) and fight scenes are not his strongest point... but here it seems more evenly paced. And that page of Roxas and Axel fighting? V. v. nice.

Horrah for more characterization. ♥

[libekory]

You are so welcome!

I know what you mean; especially about the fight scenes. I think part of it is helped because he's learned to skip or shorten them artistically! (The panel where Roxas wins here reminds me a lot of Riku's victory over Ansem in CoM, only...cooler, for lack of a better term.)

Y, yes. ;_; Hurrah for characterization.

Great, great, GREAT translations. Thank you so much.

You're welcome! We try. ♥
