2010 Memorabilia Interview

Huge, HUGE shout-out to ProGoddess of Mangahelpers who was so quick to translate pages 5-7 when I asked her to and to the marvellous MiniMP3 who not only translated page 2 but also went through and helped me tidy up the wording of all the other pages. You rock man, thank you so much.

By the way, if anybody happens to have a copy of this book can you get in touch? It's got another interview with Yagi in it and I think you can all guess how much I love reading those :D

Three unrelated releases in one week will never happen again, btw, unless Undeadman 3 turns out to exist after all and we get it done at the same time as the R+V interview and a chapter of Wedge.

Blessed be :)

PS. Here's the 2shared download link - it's always wise to have a personal copy of interesting stuff especially when it violates copyright ;)

Undeadman 2 by Norihiro Yagi

Read it on Batoto | 2shared to download

Ladies, gentlemen, and persons of genders not included in stock presentation phrases, I give to you, for the first time in any language other than Japanese (we beat TSS to this one!), the sequel to Norihiro Yagi's introductory work, UNDEADMAN TWO!!!

Gratitude to Rigarudo who shredded a copy of Monthly Shonen Jump 1991/4 and Utsune who spent many hours pouring over nuances just so we could all read this chapter. Thank you also to Varete and Seph for sharing their thoughts on the FX typesetting.

Love and Peace to you all!

The Warrior's Wedge Scene 5

This chapter is brought to you by Tumblr since that's where I met pretty much everybody who's worked hard to make it happen :)

Uber-thanks to tonari-kun for translation,  Seph (fuckyeahclaymore and f-f-fight) for cleaning and publicity, Varete (gamirt) for typesetting, and, of course, to MiniMP3 (not on tumblr but on DeviantArt) not just for her help with translation checking and proofreading but also for translating scenes 3 and 4 without which this project probably wouldn't have got off the ground. Follow all these people, they are The Best.

Enjoy ^_^

The Warrior's Wedge Scene 2

This is also over on MH but I figured I should upload it here for, like, completeness.

I really need to work out how to do groups of photos in a tidy and coherent fashion on blogger, this post business is getting a bit ridiculous.

Enjoy :)

The Warrior's Wedge Scene 1

This is available over on mangahelpers but I figured I'd repost it here for the benefit of anyone who doesn't know that. The fact that the first version doesn't even have anti-aliasing on the type (it was my first time typesetting! I got better, I swear!) has, of course, nothing to do with this decision.

The Warrior's Wedge Scene 4

The superb MiniMP3 - who you should all totally follow (is that what you do on that site?) on Deviantart - is on break right now and translated scene 4. Don't get too excited, though, she's a full-time student who will be very busy over the next few months. If anyone wants to help out with translation (from Chinese) please, don't be shy.

Alternatively, beg your friends to do it! That's what I do ;)

Much thanks to Seph both for helping out with cleaning this chapter and also for publicising every single one of our Claymore-related releases since Undeadman.

Enjoy!

Undeadman Commentary

Translators are like buses: nothing comes for AGES and then suddenly everything happens at once. On that note, here are the commentary pages from Undeadman which Utsune and I really should have done when we actually scanlated the manga! Oh well, better late than never ^_^

Enjoy!

The Warrior's Wedge Chapter 3

Hey! I don't know how many of you know about this but there's a Chinese Claymore fancominc called The Warrior's Wedge that has gotten some attention over the years (see here).  Well, I worked with the fantastic ProGoddes of MangaHelpers to get out 1 and 2 way back when (see here) and now, praise Teresa, can bring you chapter 3~!

The thing is though, the person who translated this, MiniMP3, did this chapter as a personal favour to yours truly because she's a wonderful, generous human being who you should totally follow on deviantart. I've not got a translator lined up for chapters 4 through 14 so if any excellent soul who speaks Chinese feels like stepping forward (or who knows such a person who they can convince to step forward) please, don't be shy. Even just one chapter would be great ^_^
