Hey! I thought I'd come visit your thread since you came over to ours on jcafe :D Not much to say really but keep up the good work :) (I actually read your xxxHolic trans every week XD) Thanks~

To each their own I guess.. lol just kidding. I actually like that kind of stuff too. I find zero fun in translating if I won't come out of it having learned something new. Unraveling mysteries and solving puzzles is like my fix... haha at least it's cheap :l In further efforts to "help...

calling yourself heartless.. I wonder what that really says.. I'm not sure I would bother responding to such futile questions if I was a rather heartless person. omnipresent, huh? that seems like the writer's job, more than mine. He's the one that makes the world and the characters and...

Thanks for your reply. :) Maybe I should have started off with something easier like, do you like apples? Little too late for that now though. :P I've always been concerned with how it would come across to the reader, call it my personality, but I'm also never satisfied with the result. I...

Thanks both of you. I felt the same about it, but I still wanted a second opinion. Something along the lines of that he wasn't aware that there was more to the little area he was in.. or so. "Is someone there? ..hey wait, I thought this was a dead end" (put in my own words, haha) I don't think...

For some reason when I read these lines, my brain just shuts down and acts like I'm trying to feed it spaghetti through my nose ): More seriously though, the main character has just escaped from the main road to get away from all the students when he hears some singing/humming nearby and he...

Hello. My name is Nukumi. :D I'm now old enough that I don't want to admit my age anymore.. haha. I'm never satisfied by one thing for very long and am constantly moving from one thing to the next, but the one thing that's never left me is my love of manga. I also do translations, of...
