Tatsuya Souma's KNT manga translation

[TGLucario475]

Page 52 & 53 are showing up as Page 51!

Indeed, my bad. I always quote my last list and then edit a few numbers. This time I forgot to correct the links to the images.
Whoops...

hahaha you got owned by the Numbers of DOOM!!!

[Daisensei]

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

I think translation is fine, although I haven't got what was your doubt. The really literal translation of following Okara's speech would be:

おカラ「ま-真面目に2人の話を聞いていたオラっていったい...」
Okara   “Ma-majime ni futari no hanashi wo kiite ita oratte ittai...”
"Me, who was seriously hearing their talk ["ittai": don't have an exact translation, it's an expression of interrogation or doubt]..."

Okara didn't finish her speech, but one can see her dissatisfaction about how naive is she.
I hope this has clarified all.

Sorry, I meant that I was uncertain wheter everything was translated (there was one on the right and two (combined) on the left). Also now I read your explanation of what could be meant I wonder if I interupted it correct (I assumed she was pointing out that she was acting silly because she thought they were serious).

[Daisensei]

Now I'm following you.
The rightside balloon contains "Aahh" (only an interjection, translated as "Oh my!"). The small part of leftside balloon contains "ma", followed by "majime" in the main area of the balloon, therefore Okara was stuttering. So none was missed from translation. 
The interpretation you gave to her speech is different from the original meaning in Japanese, Okara regrets for hearing Wankoo-no-kami and Otama when discovered that they were talking only to show themselves in the manga.

"To get the right answer one must ask the right question"
Anyway I will correct it with the next update as I'm now programming a prototype of a new game.

TWO PAGES

@Daisensei: I'm certain that "Shimatta" is "damn" or something. I will try to correct the other images tomorrow as I want to have some sleep right now.
@Everyone: I'm currently quite packed (as in I had too much fun programming the graphicsal userinterface for a game and I lost 4 days on it) so I'm sorry for skipping an entire week.

@Daisensei: I'm certain that "Shimatta" is "darn" or something. I will try to correct the other images tomorrow as I want to have some sleep right now.

Perhaps the best translation for "Shimatta" is "Oh no!".

[Daisensei]

It's almost end of the year and I'm very tired. However I'll never give up, so here is this weeks page. Enjoy!Page 56

[ElonNarai]

Fixed the previous one (they were already up, but photobucket had renamed them).

VACATION
Next week I will have vacaction (from 21 dec) which also means I don't have any internet (except my GSM, but that costs me). I assume I will be back a week after new years. If I'm sooner than I will announce it here.

@Daisensei: You have told me that you are a teacher in real life, but I never have heard what subject you teach. I'm looking for someone who I can bug about physics beside my own teacher. I have to fix a bouncing cube example (it's  a 3D application, I'm a programmer) for an assigment for him but it's not yet perfect. I want to point out that this is only for me if I can't get it fixed in the vacation and only if my ow teacher can't make me understand it.

Happy holidays, and don’t feed the black cat, he was an evil kitty and needs to lose weight anyway  =^_^=

[Daisensei]

I'm posting the last page that has been translated in this year. ElonNarai is going to have a vacation (me too, but later), and I have some duties that must be attended. I know we are stopping just when the story is becoming more insteresting, so I only beg for your patience for now. I'll resume my work in the early 2008's, I promise.
About this page, Pururun is showing her unexpected smartness. Who could say her only attribute was brute force?

Older board members already know that, but I'm professor of Chemistry, more specifically Inorganic Chemistry. I don't know if I could help you, but you might open a topic in Off-topic Discussion board with your questions. Page 57

[Daisensei]

I'm back, bringing one more page. I don't know if ElonNarai returned yet, but I'm waiting for his invaluable job.  [technical boring stuff]
I'm changing my Latin (roomaji) transliteration of Japanese texts from now. Normally sokuon, the sudden stop in the pronuciation of a phoneme (like holding breath before ending a syllable, represented in Japanese as っ - little tsu - character) is represented by doubling the next consonant of the word. For example, リットル (litre) is graphed as rittoru (with doubled t). The problem arises with an ending syllable, since there is no next letter to be doubled. To represent such case, I shall use doubled t (tt), such as にげろっ(nigerott).The reasoning  behind it is  t letter would be related to tsu kana.
[/technical boring stuff]
It looks like and are facing more and more troubles to stop the robot.Page 58

FX (crows flying)   "Pyuu"

[ElonNarai]

Sorry, I'm late but that was because of school. They decided to push a deathline forward which meant I had to do a lot of things.

@Daisensei: I don't think I will ever have a need Inorganic Chemistry as a programmer, but if I do I will think of you first. As for the bouncing cube, I think I already know where the problem is. Now I only need time to fix it.

@EVERYONE: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ah, another reference to the finale of the show there. The "important thing" that Yattarou needed to tell Pururun about end up being that he needed to borrow 1000 yen.

[ElonNarai]

Just a quick note before anyone asks. At the moment I'm having various tests of school.
This means I don't have much time to edit or sleep or anything else. After tomorrow I hope I will be done so sorry for the wait.
