Reverse V1 Translation

[rii-namuras.livejournal.com]

(I remember a few weeks [or months? My vacation threw off my sense of time...] ago, someone was talking about how no one had translated the Reverse novels. I just picked up the first volume yesterday, and am planning on translating it. Are people interested in me posting this? I have no idea how fast or slow it'll be, since I have a few other translation projects to work on and my Japanese isn't terrific anyways, but it will be done.)

(I wasn't sure how to tag this, and if this isn't allowed feel free to delete.)

That'd be awesome if you did! It'd still be nice to at least have an idea of what's going on.

(Haha, yeah. From the illusts I have a bit of an idea, but it's not a ton. I really want to read the one about Bak and Komui which involves a machine gun..)

Actually, I think Timcampi.org has translated most of vol 1, and a user posting on dgrayman and dgray_man has done vol 2, if I'm not mistaken :)

It never hurts to have more than one interpretation, though! Reading more than one version of a work in another language can help us understand the original version better, or so my lit teachers always said, lol. I'm sure people would love to see your version.

(I tried checking on timcampi.org, but it wouldn't load, so I have no idea... I couldn't find anything on this comm, though.)

(Hehe, yeah, as a lit nut, I can understand. I have a particularly terse writing style when it comes to fiction, so I think it'll suit the light novel style.)

....I misspelled the url. *fails at life* It's timcanpi.org, with an N. CURSE YOU FANDOM OF 1000 NAME SPELLINGS. XD;

[rii-namuras.livejournal.com]

(Oh, I see. I've always spelled it with two Ms XD. Yeah, it looks like they have the first two chapters.)

Oh yes please!

[hiroki92.livejournal.com]

That would be greatly appreciated! :D

[hikari-sukuru.livejournal.com]

I would LOVE it if you did! <3 You have seriously no idea how much I'd love you to death. @.@

[rii-namuras.livejournal.com]

( <3 I've been wanting to read them a ton myself.)

[hikari-sukuru.livejournal.com]

I know! There is so much information in there I NEED to know about! xDDD And since I'm not skilled like some people, I can't read Japanese in the least.

[rii-namuras.livejournal.com]

(XDDDD I can't read Japanese much myself, but I'm learning, so I figure this is a good way to figure it out.)

[hikari-sukuru.livejournal.com]

Then you're already ahead of me. xD And dude, who wouldn't want to learn Japanese through D.Gray-Man? I mean really. xD!

[rii-namuras.livejournal.com]

(Inorite? D.Gray Man is <3 )

[hikari-sukuru.livejournal.com]

Srsly. xD D.Gray-Man is UBER <3

Well, Timcanpi.org had done the translations on the Kanda and Allen part of the story and no more. If you wanted to continue from there (Lavi's story and so on if there's any more) or start from scratch, it'll be interesting.

[rii-namuras.livejournal.com]

(I'm going to start from scratch at any rate, if only for personal use. I just have volume one, so the only thing left that Timcanpi.org doesn't have is the Komui and Bak story. So far my response has been post them all anyways, just for a different translation take, but I can post the last story first if people'd rather.)

I translated the Earl's and Rabi's stories from the Reverse 2 novel. The final part, with links to the others, is here. And someone at Timcanpi did translate parts of Allen and Kanda's stories from the Reverse novels, although I haven't read them and don't have a link handy. There's an obscure translation of the third story from Reverse 2 in the journal entries here (http://dgraychara.deviantart.com/journal/?offset=5), although the English is kind of questionable.

As far as I know, nobody has translated Bak's story from Reverse 1.

Also, there are no signs of the Reverse novels being licensed.

There's everything I know about fan translations of the D. Gray-man novels. XD Good luck if you decide to translate one of the stories! (http://community.livejournal.com/dgrayman/91995.html#cutid1) ()

(I'm at the very least translating them all for personal use, so I'm going to post them all anyways since people are interested. Thanks for the links, though!)

[kkamagwi.livejournal.com]

Cool. Have fun!

[royul-thyme.livejournal.com]

Um. Did you end up translating this? 'Cause I can't find the post anywhere . . . I'd really love to read it! And apparently I'm waaaay late to the party, 'cause timcanpi.org no longer exists. lolsob

I really, really love Doug, and Lavi is love. So. Umyeah.

[rii-namuras.livejournal.com]

Woah hey this is an old post. I never actually did - basically, school imploded, and I never got to do anything Japanese related. But I am starting back on various learning/translating projects, so once I do get some stuff translated I'll let you know~

[royul-thyme.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool! YAY! :D I had forgotten about my comment here oops Yeah, that's school's favorite thing, imploding. It's doing that right now, actually . . . I swear it gets off on it.

Thanks! I'll be waiting~
