"I've been working to the bone so that every Producer out there can moe over Miki. I hope you guys enjoy this volume."

inb4 someone has to say that there's another topic on the next page

The iDOLM@STER relations is an awesome manga by Yumehito Ueda (or maybe you might recognize his wallpapers with 'Genocide Kiss' on it).  An English translation started back in the old forum (I believe???), but was never finished.

I noticed Cael the other day had a script of the whole thing translated, and messaged him about it, and asked him if I could use it and typeset (the whole) manga.  And well, here we are.

Anyways, I'll (we'll??) post updates here on the chapters, and how everything is going.  This is honestly one of the first "real" things to type set, so if you have any suggestions, please feel free to post.

-----

I pulled a sample page up and did a test of type set between two fonts that I was slightly amused by, so I'll let you guys take a look at it and see which font you find more appealing or something.

Font 1
Font 2

@Cael: I re-put in honorific(s) to kind of keep it consistent with the already English releases and I"m sorry if (at least for the test page) I changed some of the wording on the translation, I found myself absently doing this until I uploaded it....

General Rules on taking the manga:

(Obviously) Don't take it and publish it as if you did the translations and all the stuff in the manga.  There's been lots of work gone into doing all of this.
If you spot an error or like to point a few things out, just post it here or message me; I'll address the problems or anything of the sort.
Broken link?  Post here again.
And quoted from the volume 1 release post:

Updates/Progress:
Feb 20: Volume 1, get!
Feb 05: psssssst, this is still alive if you're wondering.  Vol. 1 release would have been a month ago if I wasn't so busy during winter break and then school started again...  Almost done type-setting ch. 4, have to clean at least half of it though.  The beginning of ch. 4 is about... 102 pages into the First Volume, and it has 176 pages iirc.  Chapter 5, 6, and 7 aren't too long either.  I hope for an end of Feb, beginning of March release of Vol. 1 [:  Although, I have to re-edit the first 90 pages because I changed fonts to a much more standard manga group font...

Cael K.:
Oh man. And here I wanted to go through an edit before I gave everyone the scripts, much less told them. Massive sweat, commence. ^^;

Well, whatever. As soon as I finish editing them, I'll post 'em up. I'll try before Christmas, but we'll see.

...I keep re-reading that page like "what? What's going oooon??".

My brain is so programmed to being able to flip manga pages that the fact that there's only one so far does not compute.

Thanks to Cael for the translation and Picup for typesetting :)

Font 1 looks better, imo XD

Picup:
It's okay Cael.  No one is pressuring you to get it all done XD  Or just do it in segments.

Had to pull something out that people wouldn't get as a test. XD

Cael K.:
Okay, so my plane leaves in like eight and a half hours, but here you go.
