Zzzzzzzzz…..I have a few days off work. It is my destiny to spend them sleeping. And translating manga. And sleeping some more.

Ten Yori mo “chapter” 3

There’ll be chapters 4 and 5 too in due course, then that will be it.

Now for the second part of “chapter” 2.

Ten yori mo c2b

After the attempt on her life, Mio runs into her mysterious rescuer again. But there’s something different about him…!?

Ten Yori Mo c2a

Btw, chapter 2 isn’t really chapter 2. There are no chapter divisions in this volume so I chopped it up into arbitrary parts and labelled it anyhow. If I have the time next month I’ll do “chapter” 3 too and then call it a day.

Tony Takezaki proves he’s just as fantastic an artist in color as in black and white. Full color pages for chapter 5, enjoy!

Chapter 5

Next up I’m going to do another chapter of Ten Yori mo, Hoshi Yori mo before moving on to another series. I haven’t completely abandoned Dr. Kishiwada but I won’t be releasing it as often. Not that I release it often now, but you get the picture!

Yay, more Kishiwada! I’m still hoping some group will step in and pick up this project because as you can plainly see I’m much too busy to put it out regularly.

Kishiwada chapter 4

More Kishiwada coming soon enough. One of the perils of being a pure translator is that nobody sees what I do behind the scenes and I don’t have the time to work on my own projects. But of course I’m happy I’m so busy so I don’t see that changing any time soon.

Another chapter of everyone’s favorite mad scientist manga! Dr. Kishiwada’s sociopathic tendencies start to show!

Chapter 3

Another chapter of everyone’s favorite mad scientist. This time Dr. Kishiwada takes on a giant monster from out of nowhere in what is by far the most normal chapter of this manga (seriously).

Chapter 2

Now for some trivia. The name “Kishiwada” comes from Kishiwada city in Osaka, where author Tony Takezaki was born. The whole title “Kishiwada Hakase no Kagakuteki Aijou” comes from the Japanese title for the movie Dr. Strangelove, “Hakase no Ijou na Aijou”, lit. The Doctor’s Strange Love…yeah.

As I did with Ten Yori mo Hoshi Yori mo, I went ahead and edited chapter 1 of Dr. Kishiwada’s Scientific Affection. Each chapter is very short and very funny, not to mention easy to translate and edit, so I hope someone picks it up soon. Since it’s so short, I’m thinking of doing the first 5 chapters when I have the time. No promises, of course. And if anyone wants to pick it up before then, feel free.

Here is the second half of Ten Yori Mo chapter 1, the first and last chapter I’m doing. I’m leaning towards doing c1 of Dr. Kishiwada too, but we’ll see about that later.
