Musunde Hiraite – Chapter 3

kayquat — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 21:57:01 +0000

Wow, it’s been forever, hasn’t it?

Here’s Chapter 3 – enjoy! This story if about Akechi’s childhood friend, Natsu. After doing this chapter, I can’t decide whether I like Akechi/Makihara better, or Akechi/Natsu better. What’s your opinion?

Men’s Figure Skating – Conclusion

No, Plushenko lost to Lysacek! D: The world has gone mad.
But still, I’d watch Plushenko skate over Lysacek any day.

Musunde Hiraite – Chapter 2

Wow, two posts in one day. I’m on a roll.

This is the story I’ve been looking forward to most, actually – I just really liked Akechi’s character from the beginning. You won’t be disappointed in his story, and if you are, then I will be sad. Because Akechi is adorable.

On a side note, I laughed my ass off when the Olympic cauldron screwed up – GG, Canada. And did you know that the singer who sang “Hallelujah”, k.d. lang, is actually a woman? Completely blew my mind.

2010 Winter Olympics – START!

kayquat — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 01:34:59 +0000

Eek, I’m so excited.

I’ve been waiting for years, seriously. I remember watching the Canada Line and Richmond Oval being built, and I remember wondering what the heck our Olympic mascots are (I still wonder, but I’ve learned to accept it now).

The opening ceremony’s going to start in 25 minutes – who’s watching?

Good luck to all the athletes, but of course, I’m rootin’ for Canada (and HK!)… with exception of Plushenko, who just HAS to win gold (sorry, Patrick).

Let’s go, Olympics! ♠

Hibiki’s Magic – Chapter 2

New update – Hibiki somehow winds up at the Kamisaid, a prestigious magic school, doing what? Teaching magic, of all things!

3 more days until the Winter Olympics! Since the host city’s my home city, seeing the Olympic-ness all over the streets is getting me pretty hyped up. Going to go watch the torchbearers later – should be fun!

Musunde Hiraite – Chapter 1

kayquat — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 08:09:23 +0000

I just really liked the drawings in this story. It’s pretty cute and funny – a guy in first year named Furuya Hiro is hopelessly in love with his seemingly perfect senpai, but he later finds out that she’s not as perfect as she seems.

I’m crummy at writing summaries, but whatever. Download link is below:

I find that I translate a lot faster at exciting parts for some reason – it’s probably because I’m interested in what happens next, so I work quicker as a result. Oh, and what does “Musunde Hiraite” mean? Good question: I think it means “Close Hands, Open Hands”, but I could be wrong. If anyone has another translation for the title, let me know.

Hey guys, I’m back. Christmas holidays are the best.

Here’s a new project: Hibiki’s Magic. The main character, Hibiki, is adorable. Check it out!

Happy 2010, folks!

Bye, bye, Teppei.

Faster Than a Kiss is going to be scanlated, but not by me anymore; White Lotus Translations is going to continue it as soon as they get raws. Now that FTK is getting the love it deserves, I feel as if I’m Maa-kun kicking Teppei’s little keister out the door and yelling “GOOD RIDDANCE, YOU @#$%^!”

I’m kidding (as if that would ever happen). It’s been fun, but at the same time, I’m happy to let it go.

So anyways, that’s just an update for you folks – I’ll be scanlating more in the future when I get some more time on my hands. If you want to suggest any series, oneshots, etc., feel free to let me know… but I’ll only really consider it if there are good quality raws to go with it.

… As if we aren’t all governed by our laziness.

Faster Than a Kiss – Chapter 14

kayquat — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 06:25:48 +0000

Had some extra time this week, so I was able to get the chapter done. Hip hip hooray!

I saw from the comments that someone else has already translated this chapter, but I’m like ‘Eh, I’ll just upload anyways since I’m almost done’. Depending on whether the other person is going to start scanlating this series or not, I might drop FTaK and scanlate another series; I’m cool with either scenario.

Anyways, enjoy the chapter.

EDIT: Since lots of people were saying that Medafire won’t let them download, I re-uploaded it to Sendspace. I know people have complained about Sendspace before, but, well, Rapidshare pisses me off. And Megaupload too. So bibbity-bobbity-boo! *transforms into a pumpkin*

It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

kayquat — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 19:16:20 +0000

Chapter 14′s in progress (about 70% done), but I’ve been really busy with homework and other extracurricular stuff lately ever since school started. I’ll post the chapter as soon as it’s finished – yeah, I know it’s vague.

Anyways, just thought I’d give you folks a brief report, in case some of you thought I had crawled off into a corner and died.

Have a nice day!
