Gantz 284

Thank you Hisshou...
I love the german/english parts in page 4/5 - pretty authentic.

Thanks a lot Hisshou
By the way, kalialev translated the German part : here, maybe you want to complete your trans :amuse

Hissou page 4 and 5 are right. In page 4 (right page in the magazine) the "white strip" (hope you'll understand what I mean ò_o) is on the left size (like in page 2); in page 5 (left page in the magazine) it's on the right side (like page 1 and 3). In plus, on the last panel of page 5 you can see Sebastian and Kikuchi in the car (they're in the car in page 6).

Sorry for my very bad English, really hope you'll understand =(

By the way, thanks a lot! ^^

Thanks

If you say so, it seemed weird that they'd do introductions and THEN the gift thing, but I suppose it could work the other way around...

I am from Austria, so I guess I can lend you a helping hand! :)

Showtime finally for me too! <3

Bottom: What is the secret of this factory?! The next issue will be in the 11/19 volume of YJ!


P.S.

I hope there will be more german in Gantz in the future...I kinda like translating german! :O

Meh, what the heck...you mustn't paste the whole thing.
Also, just for your information, Hisshou asked me to translate this
like yesterday already, when he just released the translation. (And I pm'ed it to him...)

But obviously he decided to not translate the German part. Come to think of
it, it makes sense (Jap People don't get the German bubbles either). Please respect that.

Yeah, in the end I realized that a) It would be weird to have the german parts in english, because b) Sebastian's either repeating what Kikuchi said in German or what the German people are saying in Japanese. I asked zidane to translate as soon as I saw there was German (before I actually read the page) and then calmed down and realized it wasn't really necessary.
