• In the progress tracker table, the numbers you (the reader) will be most interested in are those for the files that lie in the page range from 010 to 302, because those pages correspond to the prologue, chapters 1-4, and the epilogue. The rest of the filenames correspond to miscellaneous things like About the Author, colophon information, and so forth.
• Note: the "Overall translation" number will be unreliable until I finish transcribing the entirety of the novel (my translation software only knows about the pages I've already typed up).

Kyoukai no Kanata translation

Kyoukai no Kanata ("Beyond the Boundary") is a light novel series written by Nagomu Torii, and published by KA Esma Bunko, i.e. Kyoto Animation's light novel division.

It's also getting an anime sometime soon (by KyoAni, of course), and there's a promotional video for it out. (Granted, the PV was for the light novel and not the anime per se, but I imagine it should look similar.)

I'm pumped.

It's been ages since KyoAni did anything resembling action - aside from a scene or two in Disappearance, a few sketches in Nichijou, and the Chuu2 battle sequences in Chuu2, KyoAni basically hasn't touched action since Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid - and that was 8 years ago! It's good to see KyoAni getting back to its roots. Not that I dislike their more recent oeuvre - Hyouka is probably my favorite anime of all time, and Nichijou and K-ON are also top-notch (and I, like most, cry to Clannad evertim).

But anyway, back to Kyoukai no Kanata. I'll be translating the light novel; the prologue is now posted on pastebin (link). Check the progress tracker for information about when I make updates.

Since I'm going to be posting incremental updates, it'd be a pain in the ass to run all of this through LaTeX as I'm translating (plus, nobody's going to want to download a new pdf everytime I update). When I'm done with this volume, though, I'll latexify it and post a final release with typographical goodies and all that.

(Yes, I'm still working on Fate/strange fake; once I'm clear of exams [in a week or two], I'll be hard at work on it.)

BRS The Game chapter 2

BRS The Game chapter 2: at LnF

Chapter 2 of Black Rock Shooter The Game is now available. Get it at LnF's blog, linked above. 

BRS The Game update

Just a quick update on the status of BRS The Game: LnF are still working on typesetting the remaining chapters of volume 1. No guarantees, but you might see another chapter this week, since they seem to have some free time on their hands.

Also, good news - we've found raws for volume 2, so you can rest assured that those will be scanlated eventually, barring acts of Angry Manjew and whatnot.

EDIT (29 Mar 2013): Volume 2 is also the last volume of BRS The Game, so the entire manga will, in fact, be scanlated. Hooray!

BRS Innocent Soul chapter 12 (END); BRS The Game chapter 1

BRS Innocent Soul chapter 12: at LnF
BRS The Game chapter 1: at LnF

The Black Rock Shooter - Innocent Soul manga had apparently been sitting at 11 out of 12 chapters scanlated for the longest time. The folks who typeset chapters 10-11 (they go by Lost and Found - visit them at their website) contacted me about translating the last chapter, and here you have it. Go to the Downloads tab on their blog to download this chapter. Universe-specific terminology is kind of inconsistent across all the scanlated chapters, so be wary of that.

We have also started working on Black Rock Shooter The Game, which had been stalled at the first chapter since forever. The script for volume 1 has been translated in its entirety. So far, chapter 1 (of 6) has been typeset; visit LnF's website to download it. They're working on the remaining chapters in the volume, and should have those out eventually.

We don't have raws for volume 2 of BRS The Game (pretty sure that nobody on the internet has actually scanned those), so we're going to be stalled at the end of volume 1 unless those raws turn up at some point. 

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica ~the different story~ - Volume 03 script (END)

Script: (mediafire - typesetter-friendly | pastebin - reader-friendly)
Manga Raw: mediafire [externally-controlled link]
Scanlated Manga: mediafire [externally-controlled link] 

Our friendly /u/ typesetter will be typesetting this volume in due time; when he does, I'll update this post with a link to the completed volume.

The pastebin version of the script has lines broken at 80 characters for improved readability; the mediafire version does not do that.

EDIT (7 Jan 2013): And volume 3 is scanlated now. Hurrah!

Fate/strange fake plans

I'm planning on translating Fate/strange fake, which is basically official fanfiction for the Nasuverse written by Ryohgo Narita. I'm aware that there is/was a translation occurring at Beast's Lair, but it seems to be stalled/dropped/dead. So there's this instead.

Anyway, a progress meter:

Section	Transcription	Translation	Editing
Front matter
Prologue
Act 1 - Archer
Act 2 - Berserker
Act 3 - Assassin
Act 4 - Caster
Act 5 - Rider
Act 6 - Lancer

Note (3 Jan 2013): I'm still working on this; I've just been on vacation with only intermittent computer/internet access for a little while, so going is slow for the moment. By next week, I'll be up and running again.

Note (13 Mar 2013): Real life has been kicking my ass lately, but I'm back to working on this. Dunno if I can give an estimated time of completion, but rest assured that it will get done. Right now, we're at ~60% translated.

Note (1 Apr 2013): Three of the six core chapters are done, and we're at 88.5% translation overall. Translation should be complete before the week is out, at which point I'll move on to editing. Once I've gotten it into reasonable shape, I'll post a draft on the Beast's Lair forums to solicit further comment from people while I continue editing. No guarantees on time frame, but I _think_ I can have the draft out by the end of the month.
