Manga Synopses
Just the Gist Translations
|
|
Here is a listing of the episodes in each volume (tankouban) of the manga with
a short blurb on what each episode is about. This is to help those of you who are considering buying the manga but who don't know which to acquire. In future, I hope to have longer synopses and translations for each chapter. Currently, I have only translated a few chapters from volumes 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10. I'm averaging one per 3 months. *sweats*
Since it's going to take me the rest of my life to translate two or three more
episodes, I'm coordinating with with Joppo of @nime Asylum, Jaysen of dorm212 and Umi of [boy's dorm] to try to bring you more translations. Any other interested translators are welcome to join the fun! Drop me an email if you want to play too!
Episodes available at the Greenwood Homepage are labeled in green.
Episodes available at [boy's dorm] are labeled in red.
Episodes available at @nime Asylum are labeled in blue.
Episodes available at dorm212 are labeled in orange.
Links to these sites are also available at the bottom of the page.
Links to translations here are in purple.
Please keep in mind that I don't speak Japanese very well, so there are likely
quite a few errors. (Corrections are always welcome!) Most of these synopses are what I can glean from looking at the pictures, and are just here to give you a better idea of what each tankoubon contains. The manga translations are fairly loose, unlike my lyric translations, which are more literal. |
