My favorites as of the moment, songs, stories, the likes.

Sexy Vampires!

Due to the fact that I have done nothing but take care of my other site, I found myself endlessly jumping for joy the moment I got my hands on chapters 21 to 23 from volumes 4 and 5 of the Vampire Knight manga by Matsuri Hino. I squealed like the rabid fangirl that I am when I saw the chapter cover of Zero. *sigh* I used the image in the first avatar of Zero Kiriyuu you see below. There are also some of Kuran Kaname, Hanabusa Aidou and Akatsuki Kain. Let’s all hold hands and sigh at their gorgeousness.

Learning the Trade

More on the topic of scanlations, I’ve recently searched the web to find some resources that’ll help me get a better hang of things. I must admit that I was overwhelmed by the resources I’ve found and I had to pick the best ones. Makes me want to translate the japanese manga I bought myself. ^^ Oho, as if I could trust my japanese skills that far. ^^”

  • Idiot’s Guide to Editing Manga - a resource goldmine for newbies. It has step by step instructions on everything. ^^ I’m going to spend hours browsing through this site.
  • Japanese Sound Effects - Aha! Finally, I get to understand what all those special effects mean. I was reading manga and I couldn’t help but scratch my head when a bunck of “do” characters keep popping up.^^
  • Some japanese dictionaries, especially for those dreadful kanjis; both online and for download - Coolest.com, JWP, and Wakan (one I personally use)

So that’s about it. *rolls up sleeves*I better start practicing for this new endeavor. ^^

Dipping into Scanlations

Michan was kind enough to teach me the basics of editing scanlations and I won’t say I’m thrilled at the results (it’s a bit crooked). I just hope I can get used to it soon so I can start *shining wide eyes of excitement* If you want to see a sample of my very first edited scanlation, you can look for your self go here. It’s for the manga series Boku ni Natta Watashi. Translations for it are to follow.
