Does anyone know when Chapter 43 of Assassination Classroom is going to be translated? It feels like it’s taking a lot longer than usual…
lol and you end up getting a response from the translator herself! My mom was supposed to go to the hospital for a procedure over the weekend but got food poisoning, so… that took priority over manga translations. That being said, the...

HQ!! 60 spoilers

The color page is of Oikawa and Iwaizumi, circa junior high.
Oikawa character development, omg. There’s a recollection of when he was in the Intermiddle competitions in junior high, and how there was an ever-present wall that he couldn’t overcome. That wall was Shiratorizawa’s Ushijima Wakatoshi. So Oikawa spent his...

Just a reminder
Shounen Jump is on break for Golden Week this week (technically next week, but with early scans and whatnot, well…), which means no new chapters until next week at the earliest (issue #24 comes out May 13th).
For reference’s sake, the most recent chapters of my two weeklies (both of which have already been translated and posted on MH) are 41 for Assassination Classroom and 59 for...

Pfft. It looks like Asou-sensei (Saiki Kusuo no Sainan mangaka) has a Korosensei plushie and posted pictures of it in a couple of places while traveling around.
@BocSck99: What?! Why Korosensei? Why not Kusuo? @shu1aso: They weren’t selling any Kusuo plushies! Or, more like, there aren’t any to sell!
…why is Asou-sensei so adorable? And Furudate-sensei also writes these...

Spoilers for HQ!! 56
I’ve only skimmed the chapter, but here are some things that amused me/stood out.
[[MORE]]
Hinata and Kageyama are watching from the sidelines, and Hinata notes that Suga really heaps on the praise when someone scores (in this case, it’s Tsukishima). Ennoshita provides a bit of explanation for it, and then says that Kageyama’s making a “why do I have to suck up to the...

More AC / 47 ronin stuff
Someone in the mangahelpers’ thread about AC wondered if Shindou would be punished as a result of the events in chapter 36, so I got curious and decided to see if there was anyone named “Shindou” in the story surrounding the 47 ronin. I ended up finding more than just that.

So, it’s already been established that Class E’s students are named for the 47 ronin...

Don't mind me, just random ramblings
Man, going from translating Haikyuu to Ansatsu to Saiki in one evening is really bizarre. Especially when all three are sports-themed chapters. It’s like… “happy volleyball funtime!!” to “manipulative baseball crazytime” to “dodgeball for dummies”. And then Shiinake no Hitobito completely breaks the chain and it becomes “weird ninja...

Squee! My copies of volumes 4 and 5 arrived today! Much quicker than I expected, which is awesome.
What made me laugh the most was the sketch of Tobioni and the Kanabouyou. Just… PFFFT. So perfect. Tomorrow, I’ll see if I can post up pictures of the extra pages in chapter 40, even if it just ends up being with my cellphone.

Mostly just so people know I’m working on it (but geez, it’s like 37 pages with small print and no furigana. Cut me some slack!) The next installment is in April, so hopefully I’ll be able to finish the prologue by then (not to mention translating chapters of Haikyuu and Assassination Classroom every week)… “OTL

Some AC tankobon extras (vol 3)
Updated the Korosensei colors post with volume 3’s info on pink. New name confirmations: Okajima Taiga
And now for some volume 3 extras… (from the character intro pages) Okajima Taiga - From the looks of him, he seems to be a perv, and in actuality, he is. When it comes to the topic of girls, leave everything to him.
After that, Ryuuki-kun failed and was held back. But one year...

Spoilers for HQ!! 53
I’ve only skimmed the raw (haven’t started translating yet), but it made me giddy and thus I had to share some spoilers.
Also, Issue #17 (chapter 54) will have center color.

In chapter 53, Kageyama’s playing gets progressively worse, and everyone can see it (at one point, Yamaguchi says “Kageyama kinda doesn’t seem like his usual self…”)....

[translation] Haikyuu!! volume 1 extras
I had originally wanted to scan up the tankobon character profiles, but apparently Epson TWAIN doesn’t work with Windows 7. Which sucks. So I ended up just translating the profiles/tankobon extras instead. I post them up by volume at mangahelpers, but I figured I may as well post them here too.
Volume 1 (consisting of chapters 1-7) contains character profiles for Hinata, Kageyama, Tanaka,...

Also slightly surprised by the character rankings. Hinata’s middle school teammates ranked higher than the Nekoma guys?! And what’s with #8 & 9?
Those actually aren’t character rankings, but the list of characters for the popularity poll (voting starts this issue). They’re numbered to make it easier on voters. Oh, and #8 &...

And since I've been meaning to do these...
On the official Haikyuu!! website, they post up sketches from Furudate-sensei every so often, and they’re all incredibly adorable/amusing. I’ve been meaning to translate them for a while, so now that I’ve caught up with the actual chapters, I can work on some omake things!
Evidently at least one new one is going to be posted on the official site soonish, to celebrate the...

Not really spoilery at all (AC 30)
PFFFFT. Shiro’s reading a volume of PSI Kusuo Saiki. I guess that means Matsui-sensei’s a fan?

That feeling when you start reading an amazing series and then the next time you look at the clock, it’s already 2:30 AM.
On that note, read Urasawa Naoki’s “Pluto” if you haven’t already. I swear, with every one of his works I read, I fall more in love with his style and storytelling and just, EVERYTHING.

Korosensei colors
I only JUST noticed that the under-cover (for lack of a better term) of each volume of AC explains what that volume’s particular Korosensei color/pattern means… I guess I’ll add more as the volumes come out?
Volume 1: Yellow is his face’s normal state. While his complexion changes frequently, it’s the color that appears the most.
Volume 2: Yellow and green stripes...

I love how all these Japanese Haikyuu!! blog posts/threads also have no idea what Kageyama’s saying in 43 when he goes “……….んぬん…” in teeny tiny font so Tsukishima can’t hear him.

Learning stuff from translating manga: 頭一つ抜けてる...
This edition of LFTM comes from a chapter of Haikyuu!! (and for those waiting on that post about 女の賞味期限は短い, it’s coming soon - I promise!).
So what does 頭一つ抜けてる (atama hitotsu nuketeru) mean?
Answer 1:
I did some investigating and it ended up as a real mental workout, but… basically, it means that one out of a number of group heads becomes the sole leader.
Answer 2:
It means to...

About the Nisekyuu!! oneshot collab...
Ow. Bad translations are BAD. And horribly inaccurate… well, Imperial Scans DID work on the release, but I honestly would have expected better from Mangastream?
I’m hoping that Casanova Scans releases a version using my translation, if only because the Imperial/Mangastream version really made me go “wait, WHAT? That’s not what they said at all…” a lot of the...

Really rude international scanlation groups
Apparently Dragon Scanlators and M4all Scans don’t feel the need to credit me as the original Japanese to English translator in their Portuguese Haikyuu!! releases. So I wrote a comment about it on Dragon Scanlators’ last release post, only for them to delete the comment and ignore it, as well as the crediting notice written at the top of all of my translations. I commented on the...

Okay, so, I can’t make any guarantees, but I’m going to try and catch up to the most current chapter by the end of the year. Try being the key word, because Haikyuu!! is pretty high up there on the wordiness scale, but I would honestly love to try and make this series my second weekly (right now, Assassination Classroom is the only series I translate weekly). The good thing is that...

some AC extras
These are character profiles from the first volume, for Korosensei, Nagisa and Karasuma. There are a few other extras in the volume, but I’ll get to translating/editing those later. Anyway! Enjoy.

Just a quick note
You might have noticed that I’ve been MIA for the past week. The reason for that is Hurricane Sandy, which knocked out our power last Monday. So yeah, I haven’t been able to translate anything (or even use the computer/internet) - and we aren’t expected to get power back until this coming Monday (11/5) at the earliest.
I’ve been poking around online periodically using my...

Dear International Scanlation Community,
If you are going to use one of my translations to make a scanlation in your own language, you still need to credit me as the original Japanese to English translator. I shouldn’t have to say this, but it’s been happening much too often recently. Not crediting me and using my translations anyway is the same as spitting on my hard work.
Seriously, the more groups that do this, the more...

This may get some people riled up, but I think it...
People might have noticed that I translated Nisekoi chapter 47 this week, and that there are some stark differences between my translation and the one from Imperial Scans. Now, I know lots of readers generally don’t care if there are inaccuracies because they can’t read the original Japanese… but the problem here is that Imperial’s Nisekoi releases are filled with plain-out...

Just a quick note to the scanlation groups I work with (primarily Mangatopia, since they’re waiting on a chapter from me ATM): my laptop’s AC adapter just died, so I have to wait for a new one to arrive. Basically, that means the chapter of Assassination Classroom that I’m working on will be delayed a bit. Same goes for any other chapters I’m working on for people.
