In-Progress Translations & Translation Requests My current plan for translations is as follows: Shijukara (Starting at 40) Status: Complete (Volume 17) Guardian of the Dream (Uehashi Nahoko) Status: Complete Dororo (children's novel) Status: Complete (post-processing) Bambi and Her Pink Gun (Kaneko Atsushi) Status: Complete The Fire Hunter Series 1 - Fire in Spring Status: In Progress (Volume 1 Part 1) The Fire Hunter Series 2 - Shadow of FlameStatus: Planned The Fire Hunter Series 3 - Fangs of FireStatus: Planned The Sorceress' Revolt (Parts 1 and 2) (Toriumi Jinzo) Status: Planned Gatchaman Novel (Toriumi Jinzo)Status: Planned Beyond the Werefox Whistle (Uehashi Nahoko) Status: Planned Completed translations are removed from the list yearly. Translation statistics also update once a year. All translations are housed on this blog and will be unless a lawyer yells at me to take them down. Translation Requests Got a translation request? No guarantees I'll honor it, but if it's anything like what I've been translating I may add it to the list. :) Put any requests in the comments below.I hate that I have to do this, but some people either can't read or are downright rude, so here are some basic rules for translation requests:(1) Include the title of the series and the author in your request. (Shockingly, I've had people reach out via email to translate X series with no author or context!)(2) Request translations in this space. From now on, requests sent solely to my translation email will be ignored. (You can email me the request and post it here; that's fine. But I'll only reply to the request here.)(3) (Optional, but loved): Include the ISBN number of the book or books you're requesting to have translated. Saves me a few minutes of Googling and makes both acquisition and research much easier. Also, do a quick Google search to see if someone else has fanlated or officially translated a book already. There are quite a few people out there just like me fighting the good fight. :)
