I suppose I have been quite closemouthed on the manga that Jasmine and I purchased together last December. I’m still waddling my way through translating them, though, so don’t expect a great deal of summaries and plot lines. I’m translating at a slower pace than a snail as it is. >.<

The first two mangas, Osuteki Da- Rin are mine, while the last two, Renri no Eda and Kagakushitsu no Ouji, are Jasmine’s. We’re translating these separately and hope to proofread for the other. Hope, being the operative word. XD

In the eve of the launch of the scanlation site I will be working on with Michan, we were talking about the staff page and what my responsibilities would be. I can just imagine the chaos. XD

me: O___O i’ve been promoted to translator? O_O
michan: i thought you were translating too?_?
michan: weren’t you? for osuteki da rin?
me: hai…
michan: daarin* XD;
me: demou…
me: is it alright to put the title on me?
me: *shuffles feet*
me: *points to self*
me: newbie
michan: why not? you’re translating O_o
me: baka desu
me: at a snail’s pace
michan: XD but translating nonetheless
michan: if it makes you feel better, you can put that in the profile thingy
michan: ooh… we also have to make that pretty.. the profile
me: what? “baka desu”?
michan: no
michan: just the “*points to self* newbie.. translating at a snail’s pace* or something. XD
me: XDDD
me: oh, oh!
me: *holds up a sign*
michan: no matter how many times kachou-sama tries to post the word baka (about herself) in h0rg, michan will find it and erase it. >3 muhaha
me: *will translate manga* … *as long as someone else will cover the shipping fees* XDD
michan: *tries to read what the sign says* : o
michan: XDDDDDDDDDD
me: XDDDDDDDDDD
me: ehehehehe.. maybe i can scribble something with a sign that says that… XDD
michan: that works! XD
me: *inclines head* what?
michan: scribbling ‘will translate for free shipping’ XD
michan: i’ll figure something out
michan: sides it’s my turn to do the buying
me: michan will buy manga!
me: *can’t wait to know tht titles*
michan: *hasn’t thought that far yet.. >.>*
michan: *still stuck in how to rob a bank*
me: well.. let’s see… i’ll look into “Robbing banks for dummies” book.. *nods*
michan: *nod*nod*
me: i’ll also find “idiot’s guide for Threatening shops to drop shipping fees ” book.. *nods*
michan: oooo that’s even better
michan: i’ve also got “world domination in a nutshell”
michan: and “monopoly: the quickstep guide”
me: XDDD

A while back I asked Michan if she could make a chibi mascot for the forum here. Just a little one for the forum banner. We talked about the details, a blond samurai.. and chibi. That was as far as we talked about it. And it was amazing the things she same up with.

So this page is for Michan’s amazing talent for creating Samu-chan (taken from the fact that he’s a samurai. ^^) The images are for the exclusive use of Swordian.

I promised to use them on the next layout of Swordian. I just have to find the right inspiration so as to not murder the artworks. ^^
