Some lines I'm having trouble with.

10代の輝くガラスの人魚姫を愛しいあの方に見ていただくの。。。
For this mermaid princess and her shining glass of ten generations to be looked upon by her beloved... (???)


青年誌編
Seinen shihen? What is this?


でもあれからコルネット。。。
But since then Cornet has...
嘘みたいに人が変わって。。。
turned into a completely different(unreal?) person...


警戒警報避難勧告をー!!
Turn on the siren for the evacuation drill!!


なんかエロトホホな感じだわ。。。
It's just got an eroticomedy feel... (What's erotohoho?)


「亭主元気で留守がいい」!!
"Husband outside is peace inside"!! (shoddy attempt at kotowaza translating, is there an actual equivalent?)


女王らしい風格見せてみろよ!
Show some of your queenly charisma!

I'm doing this on the fly and without any clue about the context, so my comments may be rather off. Anyway...:p

Probably, 10代 means that the mermaid princess is a teenager. Not sure about the glass thing, perhaps it's referring to the glassy (fragile?) aspect of the princess?

There are so many different interpretations possible for this passage that it is difficult to grasp the exact meaning without knowing what's going on.


青年誌編
Seinen shihen? What is this?
Isn't it Seinenshi-hen 青年誌 編? :amuse

でもあれからコルネット。。。
But since then Cornet has...
嘘みたいに人が変わって。。。

Both may be possible, it depends on the context. Usually, you translate as "different", "unrecognizable", but unreal may be a possibility, if appropriate for the passage.


警戒警報避難勧告をー!!
Turn on the siren for the evacuation drill!!
Is it really a drill or is it for real? ;)

なんかエロトホホな感じだわ。。。
It's just got an eroticomedy feel... (What's erotohoho?)
Probably, エロトホホ = エロ + トホホ, that is, erotic + disappointing/vexing/regrettable.


「亭主元気で留守がいい」!!
"Husband outside is peace inside"!! (shoddy attempt at kotowaza translating, is there an actual equivalent?)
I don't know if there is an equivalent. But this line is from a CM ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Sk88hpvGGw ), so I think your translation is quite good.

女王らしい風格見せてみろよ!

Perhaps something like "act/behave like a queen"? :)

Here is the context for the first line - third pannel. And my new attempt: "For this delicate, teenage mermaid princess to be looked upon by her beloved..."

Isn't it Seinenshi-hen 青年誌 編?
Still doesn't help me with the meaning. :(

Probably, エロトホホ = エロ + トホホ, that is, erotic + disappointing/vexing/regrettable.
Context:



Somehow, "shamefully erotic" doesn't roll out of the tongue. XD;;

A new line I'd forgotten to add. It's part of a character creation extra, and it refers to a picture of the character in question in a seifuku.

制服姿
これで学校に女の子が何人かはいることがわかりましたね。

Her uniformed look
She knew how many girls wore this kind of uniform. (??????)
I'm just scratching my head at this one. At the same time, I have a feeling the answer is simple enough that it'll leave me face-palming at myself...

Thanks for the help, by the way, I'm more confident about the other lines now. :D

Yes, I guess that's much closer to the meaning of that line :)

青年誌 編 => a version (or an arc, it depends) for seinen magazine :) (that is, for a slightly more mature audience, which usually translates to more gore and/or ecchiness :p)


Context:

Actually, it would be more along the lines of "erotically disappointing" :)

"Now you know that there are at least a few girls in the (that? this?) school" :)

Hope this helps! :)
