Kagerou Vol 2 Chapter 1 Part 2

 Yo, it's been a while.

Recently, I tried watching Youjo Senki and went into a binge. I watched the anime, read the novel and the manga, and currently being anxious while waiting for the new volume and s2 to be released.

It's really good in terms of military perspective, the chain of command and the implementation of orders and laws are really good. The author clearly understand military very well. Give it a try.

Oh anyway. Here's the link.

I also made an illustration for it.

See you on the next chapter!

Kagerou Vol 2 Chapter 1 Part 1

It has been 2 years... I'm really sorry.

Done by yours truly! Follow me on my Pixiv!

Here's the link.

Now I have 2 options, translating this by staying true to the source but will take more time, or a faster release but with less accurate narration (since it'll be a second-hand translation from chinese)? Personally, I prefer the former since I will get the idea of their voice, but it's really a hard task to put it in english. Please leave your choice in the comment below.

teaser, perhaps

“If the wave damages your equipment, report it immediately!”

"I’ve been training, so don’t worry!"

“Arare, what about you?”

“I’m fine…”

"Since we are destroyers, we are pretty much all the same! You should be more worried about Nagatsuki than me."

“Oi, wait.”

“I’m not that clingy to her! I just relied on her a bit. Rather, I'm the one who's supporting her now.”

“I wonder about that~”

“That’s obvious.”

“Change of formation! Form a double line! The vanguard of the first one is me, the other one is Nagatsuki!”

"After a while, Ushio will replace Nagatsuki as the vanguard. Is that okay?"

"Y… Yes!”

"Let’s face the waves!"

I found a chinese site that translates light novels from my chinese friend, and it actually has Kagerou LN translated fully, I think I'm going to use the translation from the chinese as the base to translate it, because the japanese source I could get is pirated scans, it's kinda hard to read.

just realized something

 i just realized the text is kinda hard to read so i changed it

and also i will continue translating the second volume

stuff happened, and a bit confession

it's deleted for some reason

I'm sorry for disappearing for such a long time. This and that happened, and then it's already 2020. 

The truth is, if you already noticed, my translation is basically an MTL (Machine Translation) since I didn't have any proper japanese language studies. Some of you might notice it, but if you didn't, that's because I spent many hours of checking words by words using different translator and sometimes even changed the lines completely based on the context. 

Worse yet, I translated Kagerou LN from pirated scanlation. Yes, it exist, but by now the links probably is dead. I dived into japanese websites and looked for any Kagerou LN I could get, and fortunately, I got all of them (the last volume is blurred so much though, i doubt i can translate it). So I kinda feel guilty about it. 

But here's the problem. The scanlation (yes, it's picture, not text) is somewhat blurry. The example of it were the last part of the last chapter on the first volume. It's blurred beyond recognition so I really don't know what it was. The second volume is also blurry so when I tried to translate it, it took much more time than the first volume since it's kinda clear. 

So I thought, 'I should buy the original novel then, I mean, there's also the electronic book version so that will be easier to translate,' but sadly, I'm so poor that I can't afford to buy them. Well, at least I can get the trial version. It's only several pages of the first chapter though. 

And lately, I've got nothing to do and kinda lonely so I want to translate it again. Oh and also I probably will also translate some web novel, but into Indonesian, since it's kinda easier for me. (I'm Indonesian btw)

Oh also, I played Arknights. It's fun.

For now, that's what I want to say.

Until next time then.
