thanks for the translation!
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Also, lately I was contacted by a fellow Russian who has a good sense of humor. He suggested changing several phrases which I did.
I compiled a new text:
AKB49_chapter1_eng_new_edition.doc
http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/6zl0t9I personally like most the new phrase with Sae though there are other noticeable changes as well.
But it’s all done at the expense of the original meaning. So it’s up to you to decide which variant is better.
And I prepared some comic strips. Here’s an example of how I think a good scanlation should look like. I didn’t use any special tools. I’m sure you can do better.
Page one. Note the color text.
Page 12. Nothing special but the newspaper article now has an English heading.
And my favorite page (#15). Yuko’s trying to grab Minoru’s chest.
And it looks like I leave you with that. I have lessons in September so no more free time for me. Sorry.
