Anyone know if there's a translation for ABe's Kaira book? Just bought it and I'm not very good at reading Japanese ;P.

>> No.2  

Nope, sorry.
If you feel up to scanning it someone might be generous enough to translate it.

>> No.3  

>>2 Well, if there is anyone out there that can and would be generous enough to translate it I'd love to get in contact with you. It's a full color, 255 page long comic by ABe with the unfinished 'White Rain' manga at the end, if that interests anyone ;D. Otherwise, I'd rather not deface the book to scan it properly without the incentive of it getting translated.

>> No.4  

Anyway you can scan it without damaging it? I wouldn't want you to damage it just to get a translation... not worth scanning it then.

>> No.5  

>>4 Sure, I guess you're right, I'm just a stickler for quality... if I don't remove the binding there will be that obvious edge and some of the picture would be lost/blurry/warped ;P. I'll try scanning the first 20 pages or so and see how it goes.

Here's some eye candy for everybody ;D.
If you want the full 6000x3000 18.4mb version it's in the zip file I uploaded to rapid share.

Okay, well, I scanned the first 50 pages (prologue and first 2 chapters) and it was turning out great except quite a few pages have text along the edges that ended up getting blurred out, making it illegible. Pages 15, 17, 19, 25, 31 and 47 are all like that. I tried scanning it different ways to the point that I was starting to damage the pages and just gave up. Anyways, here's the link to it if anyone wants to check it out (this is the low quality version btw, full quality was 265mbs unzipped at 2000x3000px a page xD but if anyone does want a page at full quality feel free to ask), anyway, here's the link:

Great job on the scanning, appreciate the time you took to do that. I do know a few translaters used to lurk here from time to time. Hopefully someone will help everyone out with a translation.

>> No.8  

Alright, regarding the scanning, I won't be able to get more up for the next half week or so (the usual busy life issues) but I did go through and write out all the blurred text onto a text file (uploaded to MediaFire xP I realized I said rapid share for the last post). I figured as far as I knew I was the only one with the book and had to get it to you all somehow (if I can get a translation I'd be more than happy to make make an English version - utilael@aol.com if you'd care to communicate with me). I am taking a Japanese class right now so I do know the Hirigana/Katakana, and with my tablet and http://jisho.org/kanji/radicals/ I'm pretty sure I got the Kanji right. Email me if you have questions. Here's the link to the text file:

BTW, thank you for your help Novastar

>>9 looks like I missed some pretty stupid things ;P Thanks a lot for checking that for me though, I didn't even bother to proof read it >.> Here's an updated version: http://www.mediafire.com/?0xeyhewtmhy

>>11 Thanks, I was aware there was a translation but forgot where I had gotten it.

>> No.13  

Well, some news, good for me ;P. ABe's portion of the slightly recent project with Range Murata, (a.k.a: robot), turned out to be Kaira, starting past the first two chapters I uploaded. If you don't have Kaira but have robot, it doesn't look at all like the story lines continue from what I uploaded, and as far as I can tell they don't. There's a big white page following the last one in the zip I uploaded with a title in Kanji on it and the story diverges (as far as I can tell, sorry if the explanations confusing).

But, this means there's a professional translation out there for all the volumes of robot that have been translated... which I don't own any of them so I can't say. I came across it when trying to decide what book to buy next, dl'd the robot volume 1 scan out of curiosity, and was like... hey, that's Kaira. So I've uploaded the next potion of the book, which is really just a section of the robot volume I downloaded, so credits to whoever it was who scanned it in the first place:

>>13 Eh, I'm pretty slow when it comes to looking at credits... heh, well, even though it sounded like I didn't know, I do know.... so here's the credits: Scanned at 300dpi by funny_bunny and holstein

The girls on the front cover scare me now... xD
