Wow, a lot happened in this thread since the last time I looked at it.

Here's the text as is appears in the manga, line breaks and all. mikkih thinks it's a standard shinto chant of some kind. I have no clue, but I am a very curious person. So if you can make sense of...

Yeah, I was able to find the phrases in the first part on the Goo Jiten, but most of the 2nd part wasn't returning anything useful because of the conjugations.

Moreover, I'm still not sure how to...

Wow, thanks. Where did you look that stuff up? Are there any online resources for this kind of thing?

皆、下の古語のような段落がつぐももと言う漫画の第７話にある。鎮守を呼び出そうとする事だ。すっごく分かりにくいので翻訳してがんばっている。しかし自分の能力の限りある。全てはひらがなで書かれてあるので少し漢字に変化してみたのだ。ちょっと手伝ってくれないか？現代の日本語に変化されるさえは十分だと思っている。ドーモ。

Folks, the text below comes from...

Below is my translation for pg 156-159 (Right half of this page and following three pages.) of Tsugumomo, chapter 05. The lines I'm especially concerned with are in bold. I also think I lost who's...

None of the other band members have been named yet. However, it is written as three lines in vertical text. You might be on to something here. っち is an affectionate suffix for names. Unfortunately,...

Context: One member of a band who had been out of sorts due to a breakup has rededicated himself to his work as a musician, vowing to leave his breakup in the past. His bandmembers are glad to have...

I'm going back through my translation of this chapter to clean up a bunch of mistakes I made the first time through, but Amazume's style can be hard to follow because thoughts and dialogue are often...

This translation has been finalized for several months now. Can someone approve it so it moves out of the pending list, please?

Infinitesimally? O_o Well, I guess even the most immeasurably small improvement is still an improvement. ;)³

Feel free to use my rendition if you like. Just make sure it fits in adequately with...

Here's how I'd word the Lackey's lines. YMMV.

Hey fellow translators, I've just posted my first draft for Happy Negative Marriage, Chapter 02, by Ryuuta Amazume (of Nana to Kaoru fame). I'm pretty confident about my translation, but I'd love to...

Here's how I'd do that page:

Ikkou: Man...what a crybaby...
Ikkou: ...I guess I was like that back then...
Ikkou: demanding everything I wanted...
Ikkou: causing my mother...so much trouble......

Thanks Amzy. And just in case it helps anyone else, I'm going to respond to a few of your comments.

Ok, for the truly brave, I need someone to look over Happy Negative Marriage, chapter 01 for both translation accuracy and proofreading. I'm more concerned about translation accuracy. Unfortunately,...

I'm not much of a gamer, so does the idea of chopping off something's tail in a multiplayer game seem plausible?...

That helps, but I'm having a hard time seeing how 尻尾を切る fits...what's おっし? It might be a colloquial "contraction" of something...

BTW, what source did you find that in? Thanks.

Can someone help me with the last phrase in the following set of lines? Words in parenthesis are added for context.

I think it's some...
