The iDOLM@STER: relations (Volume 1, Get!)

<< < (2/3) > >>

Picup:
Thanks Cael 8D, have fun on your vacation.  I'll get these done...

... when I'm not cramming for my Japanese exam tomorrow and sleeping!

Picup:
the moment you may have been waiting for?

Volume 1 of Relations released!

Probably countless of nights staying up really late, and I can now say that Volume 1 of Yumehito's The iDOLM@STER Relations can now be downloaded and read!  It's been what, two months since I started this?

Lots and lots of thanks goes to Cael for letting me use his translations!  You should thank him too!

The font that was eventually used in the end was somewhat of a "standard" group one.  I met someone in my recent JPN class, and he is the head of his own scanlation group, so he pointed some things out to me and showed me the fonts his group used.  I realized Manga Temple was a bit of a hard read on the eyes, and painfully went back and edited 50+ pages to the correct font (by the time I changed fonts, I was already halfway through chapter 2).

I would sit here and lecture you on general rules, but I'm sure you already know them.  (i'll post them up on the front post anyway, please read them if you get a chance).

I just have one thing to point out though.  Please do not put this up on manga stream sites (mangafox etc.), it's not quite polished up that I feel comfortable with releasing it on there.  If you do want to (maybe?) please just ask, and I'll take sometime to go through the scans again and fix a few things. (ie. maybe put in half of the SFXs that are missing because I got really lazy.../get cael to translate them)

Now.  enjoy reading relations, and I hope you do enjoy it as much as I did! [:

oh, and regards to volume 2...

BT2:
Good job, also don't worry about the quality, it looks fine imo.
Sure the formatting's bit  awkward at times with panels with less wide panels but otherwise you're doing a great job.

Also, it looks and reads a lot better than this other group's release.



--- Quote from: irc 2/16/2011 ---[05:15] <BT2> liek whats with the increase of imas scanlations
[05:16] <BT2> theres this unknown group thats scanlating relations now
[05:16] <Hibikin> D:
[05:17] <BT2> oh hey
[05:18] <BT2> theyre making fun of old project-imas scanlations
[05:18] <Ritsuko-Akizuki> really?
[05:18] <BT2> "While TL quality of these 1st 2 chapter of this other group is at times horrendous and with English so broken that you’d thought that it’s from a machine translation" ... "it does get better in the latter chapter that they did (well, to my knowledge they only did 2 chapter more so…)"
[05:19] <Ritsuko-Akizuki> I can't wait for people to make fun of our fansubs
[05:20] <BT2> mediocre cleaning of the scans
[05:20] <BT2> I have the same raws as they do and I could make the pages look better
[05:21] <BT2> also even though caelk uses western naming conventions, I like his translation better

Cael K.:
Oh hey, you took this thing all the way. Quite impressive.

Reading through some of it, I sometimes thought, "Did I really write that?" Then I looked and I did. Well, there's still room for improvement on my end of the scale... ^_^;;;

Fair bit of warning if you're gonna finish Volume 2:

Iori: Yeah, well I'd feel sorry for the tadpole. > Iori: Yeah, well don't we all wish.

That was the single, worst line I have ever translated in that entire thing, and it came unsurprisingly around nine hours or so before my flight left for vacation. Did I mention I hadn't packed yet by that time, or had any sleep? Gech...

Well, whatever. Bonus points to whoever can pick out any references. I think I may've tried too hard on some of them, sorry. ^^;

EDIT: I apologize profusely, page 53. The name of the prefecture is Hyougo, not Hyougou (with the extra u).

Mind M@ster:
Are you guys considering sharing/adding The iDOLM@STER: relations on any manga websites?

EDIT
Never mind someone has it on mangafox now...
