The Finestela Thread

[Verilance]

I like manga that focus on relationships a lot.

my current favourite is Saruyama! (Monkey High! in NA) by Akira Shouko next to that is Girl Friends by Morinaga Miruku (thanks for the raw btw)

I do not read any other Yuri manga except those by Morinaga-sensei and actually have no wish to do so. For me she sets the relationship between Mari and Akko so well that I just love to see them together as a couple the fact that they are two girls seems almost secondary, I don't know if that sounds strange or not.

Nope, that's not strange at all

Most of the soft-yuri such as these spends a large part of the series depicting the interactions and relationships between the two girls. When you enjoy the series, it's likely that the depiction of such is what you find the most appealing. (The same apply to soft-bara).

If you have time and are interested, you should check out the series Kashimashi: Girl meets Girl. It's also a very fun to read series

Fin, thanks for uploading Kenichi this week. You made my day

Rgr yuri and all that... I definitely wouldn't like at all that TLR ended with Rito dating Saruyama, and LaLa dating Yui. No way. This kind of defines my position, doesn't it?

lol, well, as much as I enjoy BL/GL, I wouldn't want that either

Thanks, I feel relieved knowing that ToraDora is safe. I'm trying get used to Perfect Dark, but I'm pretty much having a hard time with it. Very confusing. Btw, what happened to DeroDero? I haven't seen a Edited Manga out from Xiphias from a long time.

You'll have to talk to Xip about it
But my translations had been a bit slow the past two weeks because... a tree fell on my roof, and smashed the master bedroom pretty good

I've been struggling with the insurance claim (or, rather, getting satisfying estimates for the insurance adjuster from the contractors)

 

[Doragon]

LOL-erm, I mean that sucks. If it makes you feel any better, a tree fell on our car one time. Wait, how did that happen anyway?

Well, last week (almost 2 weeks now, actually), there was this string of nasty thunderstorms ripping through the South (in US), and when one of them passed my neighborhood, it brought down one of the trees in an empty lot next to ours (the root was somehow loosened when they were linking the lot with utility lines).

The latter sucks more than the former...
I hope you can get everything straight soon. It's nasty to have oneself's home with holes (I assume it's a hole what the tree did).
In my country most of the homes are amde from brick-and-mortar so the incident you describe is not very common, but we have the contractors mistakes to do what nature doesn't

Hi Finistela,

I want to know when are you going translate Azumanga. I'm waiting your scripts. Maybe you cannot translate it?

 

[Finestela]

Hi Finistela,

I want to know when are you going translate Azumanga. I'm waiting your scripts. Maybe you cannot translate it?

I'm only doing an internal Chinese translation for Azumanga... I'm not doing English translation for it, as it is only a 3 chapter special, and someone else is doing it already...

Sorry :/

Hi, Finestela!

A few things...

I wanted to thank you for the raws of Baka to Tesuto to Shoukanjyuu.

And it's awesome that you can do translation to Chinese! My Chinese is limited to listening/speaking only. I can't read or write Chinese and my kanji skill is mediocre. And to read something in Chinese, I must look at the character from a Japanese kanji point of view, translate it to English, translate it into Chinese, and then think about which Chinese vocab to say and how to say it. Pain in the butt. Hence, I don't bother -_-

I use an internet name Kohaku but I got my name from character in CLAMP's WISH. But I've never heard of the Kohaku in your avatar >_<

I hope you get to patch your roof + walls soon and get things straight with insurance company!

Gomenasai.

Hey

It's always nice to see someone enjoying the manga I've uploaded

And thank you for your concern ^^

Well... It's not so much I've stopped uploading... but rather the scanner hasn't upload the raw (or stopped).

If (and that's a big if) and when it becomes available, I'll be sure to upload it.

Thanks for your good work Fin, I'm sorry for any time JAC referred to you as a 'male'. I just realised you were not. -_-

Gomenasai.

(Girl powah~~~)

lol, it's all good

 

[Algorhythm]

I appreciate your posting countless mangas. I, for one, do try to read them although the mahjong terminology in "Saki" is difficult.

[mayoi]

Thanks you Finestela your the man!

 

[Doragon]

Thanks you Finestela your the man!

Is this supposed to be sarcastic?

Anyway, nice interview! Cleaners really aren't under-appreciated though. I think it's the typesetters that are not given constant thanks and respect. >.>

 

[Elanor Pam]

Finistela! I really should thank you for uploading Violinist of Hameln raws - it's my favorite manga, but pretty obscure and hard to find. I'm translating and Editing it currently, and from chapter 17 on I'll be using your raws, if you don't mind ^_^

 

[Hank]

About the chinese translating problem..- I noticed that some of the chinese characters are a bit wierd.. They are mix with both chinese styles of (Fan Ti) and (Jian Bi). Maybe you might not realise that most chinese in China use Jian Bi as their rightful style while the taiwanese use Fan Ti... So will please correct that. Oh.. and anyway thanks for the raws!

 

[Elyon A. Luna]

Finestela-nee ^^

Just wanted to greet and ask how are you doing these days!

 

[Spikey2713]

I want to say thanks to you for all the raw manga series you had provided. I was from JS Scans and our project is Zettai Karen Children. I'm doing typesetting for now, and bit translating jobs (but my poor english grammar made my translation sucks)

Anyway, thanks to you, we're able to do this series every week now, so thanks again! What is your view towards this series? I personally think that this manga series has various elements in it: Shonen, Romance, Lolicon(?), Drama, Educational, Yuri, Yaoi and much more. This series is now part of my life now, I'm planning to let this manga gets more popularity as much as possible

Until then, seeya~

P/S: I love Kohaku too, she's insane XD.
