Tatsuya Souma's KNT manga translation

[felineki]

I think the "long distance arrow rule" interpretation makes sense... as in it's a "rule" that if you try and hit a target from a very long distance, you're going to miss (like Otama often does). Just my speculation.

[littlebadwolf]

Just weighing in on the title, here, if you're planning on keeping with the SPC theme, the title should be something like "The Four Evil People," or "Tetrad of Terror."

[ElonNarai]

What about a promise not to miss (to actually hit her target).

Also this time she didn't have her usual high tech gear.

[ElonNarai]

I have just left it out since it didn't make sense at all and if it does I will add it in the future.

  This page makes me laughing a lot.  Page 49
Frame 1
Ninja crows   “E!?”
EN      “What?”
Frame 2
Sukashii   “Bo-boku tachi ni kanawanai to mite hakai shitanda na...”

EN      “They're very nasty crows. Wouldn't they perverted?”
Ninja crow   “So-soko made iu ka...”
EN      “That's too much...”
Frame 3
Narrator   “Setsumei shiyou!”

EN         “This shouldn't make me giving up”
Frame 5
Somebody   “Machina sou kantan ni ikaseru wake ni wa ikanee...”
EN      “Stop! I don't let you go forward so easily...”
Yattarou   “Dare dei!”
EN      “Who are you?”

[Blackcat]

Just weighing in on the title, here, if you're planning on keeping with the SPC theme, the title should be something like "The Four Evil People," or "Tetrad of Terror."

In SPC it would be something like "Who are those four pigeons?"

Mojo Rojo: We are crows!

Speedy: Whatever you say… pigeon!

[ElonNarai]

Quick english lesson
When to use "is" and when to use "are". When you can say there is more than one of it you use "are" otherwise it is "is". So trio is one and you use "is", when you talk about trios you use "are"

Also in frame 4 you wrote: "We haven't a choice other than go to engine room to stop it!"
This is wrong because "We haven't" is the simple present negative. present because it's now, simple because it is not ongoing (continues) or completed (perfect). And negative because it has not in it.
This means the correct way is "we do not have". After some more correction you get "We don't have another choice other than to go to the engine room to stop it" (I have underlined the other corrections)

I would recommend you use word and turn on the grammar checker (it's good for most common errors) and use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_grammar#Tense to see in what format it should be written.

No, I noticed it already, but I decided to stay quiet.    By the way, 47 weeks is almost one year of work to do.  Starting from this page, Souma makes characters trying to show off more and more themselves in the manga. Sadly this is not so funny, in my opinion.  Page 51
Frame 1
Box   “Setsumei shiyou ippou kochira wa Piza Kyatto no Otama to Wankoo-no-kami soshiste Okara no san'nin”

Frame 3

EN   “Otamachan has also been suffering...”

EN         “Hey you! Why are you speaking indiscreetly such nonsenses?”
Bellow frame   “Igai to shoushinmono”

just seach on YouTube, "Accrington Stanley Milk Ad"

"Quartet of Darkness, WHO ARE THEY?" "EXACTLY"

Heh heh heh. Those poor birds...seems like no one remembers them these days. His outraged reaction to Yattaro's inquery was priceless.

Now then, we'll soon see if the Nyanki are up to fighting this deadly tag team...unless something happens in the next panel or two...

And yeah, giving all characters more air time can sometimes draw attention away from the main stars, Daisensei. It's the risk of pandering to the crowd...you don't want to overdo it.

[ElonNarai]

Oh boy now I'm two pages behind. Thank god I finished all my tests yesterday and deliverd the ray tracer, bouncing cube, and Assambly assigments also.
Otherwise it would be three, maybe four, five if feel lazy. Guess we could also make it... well you get the picture.

I will do it the first thing in the morning and after that it's some R&R time for me, myself, and whatever my name was

[ElonNarai]

Ok, I saw LonePhantom756 post as one of Daisensei, guess I was a bit tired.
Anyway the reason I have been so slow lately was because I had a lot of work todo with school. And that's know done untill the next tests.

@Daisensei: I have not translated the background (frame 3) since they were adds for pizza.

No problem, since I'm a professor in my real life, I have a duty to advise you to make your best efforts in the school works.

TWO PAGES
Ok, my laptop contained a a virus and reinstalling all the minimal requirements of my laptop has a grand total of 8 hours :S
The virus I had does not infect images so you're safe.

@Daisensei: Could you double check frame 2 of page 52? I'm not certain if everything was translated.
