Ketchup Ninja 02

Here goes the second chapter of Ketchup Ninja! I hope I can keep up this pace. An Anon suggested that I make APNG animated out of the pages where the panels pop up after another and I like the idea, but I feel like I might as well make a flash animation out of it, the way it was meant to be. Unfortunately, I don't have the time for it. So if anyone's up to it, just contact me, I'll show you how to get the sound files and timings.

And here's the niconico video:

    Oh boy, that escalated quickly, didn't it?

    Quite on time, too, what with Payday 2 releasing.

    Anyway: I know you jusst translate what the autor said, but since when can "bad" also mean "cool"? I can only think of the expression "bad boys", but even then the "cool" comes from the other part of the sentence "bitches be diggin' bad boys".

      Are you serious? When I was younger, I used to that "that was bad as hell" all the time. I still even say "that's bad ass" time to time. Did you live a sheltered life?

      Mind you, "bad ass" doesn't mean "cool ass," but simply "cool," "awesome" or whatever you use. It was a common phrase in the 80's, not that I was there but because it's common knowledge. Why do you think a BLACK Micheal Jackson is drawn on the "English Phrase of the Week" page?? You must be young.

      Dammit, too early to be posting (sorry for so many lol)... keep forgetting to elaborate properly... but the common phrase was "that's bad."

      Dunno if "bad" can mean "cool" too, but as you said, I only translate what the author writes. The only changes I make are fixing unintentional typos and add missing commas.

    This series doesn't seem too bad... It's mildly interesting because the author obviously had to of been a foreign transfer student and the school is somewhat accurate.
    I felt that using a gunman is a bit misleading, as school shootings aren't all that common (but still happens more than it should). Whatever, though.
    I like how it's "Ketchup" Ninja because ketchup is basically America's favorite condiment. This could turn out to be an interesting series. Looking forward to more.

      Wait. Thats how schools are in America? I mean the whole kissing in the hallway and throwing garbage around in the cafeteria?
      I thought he was just making fun of your culture.

      This is pretty much the same as how high school is portrayed in American media itself, though the real thing is less exuberant, it's not far off.

      With chapter 3 finished, I can finally confirm that the author seems to have been at an American high school himself/herself. So although exaggerated, he/she didn't pull all of it out of his/her ass.

How I stalked some dude with an exposed nipple and stumbled upon the Zenithian Sword

Image
Hey guys, great title for a manga, eh? This one is a Dragon Quest V doujinshi that was originally posted on Pixiv by Nikiichi Tobita (MONSTER X MONSTER), when he was still an amateur artist. In fact, you'll notice a few similarities to MONSTER X MONSTER. You could say, this manga = MONSTER X MONSTER - DQ V. It's a more or less free adaptation of the "How I stalked some dude with an exposed nipple and stumbled upon the Zenithian Swordwwww" thread that was started on 2ch by an anonymous poster with the ID YDmPhSO2. So yeah, he's the author, I suppose. If the title is too long for you, the Japanese also refer to it as Bonfire NEET (焚き火ニート). Note: You should really play Dragon Quest V before you read this one (doesn't matter if it's the original SNES, or one of its remakes on DS and PS2). It's a great game, so you should have played it anyway. Also, the author made a few minor changes to the DQ V story to make the main protagonist fit in. Enjoy! Volu...

Molester Man Original Threads

This is probably my first post that's not about a new manga chapter I translated. Sorry for getting your hopes up. I just wanted to announce that I started working on the original Molester Man 2ch threads. You can see the translated bits when you click on the "Molester Man 2ch threads" button on the top of my blog. As I hinted at in my last post, I'll be translating it post by post. What I meant is that I'll have the online page with my translations synchronized with the files on my computer. It's supposed to feel like an actual thread. New posts come in one by one as I'm translating it. That way, I don't have to wait until I've translated a whole thread or a whole batch of posts which makes things a lot more comfortable for me. Even if I'm extremely busy, I'll still find the time to translate a post or two. So check in every once in a while and see if there are any new posts in the threads. Have fun! The threads had to be moved to Fire...

Molester Man 21

Image
If you were in the thread in /a/, you probably know already, but chapter 21 is done. I saw comments about how I chose the wrong time for chapter 21, but to my defense, I wasn't finished with the chapter until 19:30 CST. That's why I'm very glad that I chose that time zone. Anyways, enjoy the final chapter of Molester Man. The last extra chapter will follow in the near future. I have to catch up on a lot of things I had put on hold until MM was finished. I hope you understand. Happy New Year!
