More Manga Translations

[eredien]

Okay. The rest of page two is translated on the comments page for the first post about this wierd Russian manga. Here's page three.

Mom: Hold back your strength so you don't break the door...too late...

Mika: ...
I am a werewolf...

Mika:...a girl werewolf!

In box by Mika's hand: "Are you astonished at her beauty?"

Title: Werewolf Girl
Author: Minoru Ota

Translation Note: The "astonished" line might be more easily translated if I knew what word they were using for the original Japanese. I think they might have been using "kawaii" (cute) in Japanese, in which case I would have given the Russian verb its other nuance and translated it as "Are you defeated by her cuteness?"

Looking at the picture in the last frame, I think I would have opted for the "cuteness". I mean, heart and all?

(considers a cute female werewolf....)

Have I mentioned my sheer and utter amusement that you're translating something which was translated out of Japanese into Russian into English? I mean, the sheer Babel-fishness of it all!

Still, you seem to be doing a bang-up job so far. Helps to have a familiarity with Japanese/manga, then?

Just amused.

Actually, I think it was from Japanese to English to Russian. Though I still have to check the Russian Manga Translation Project main page to be sure. More pages will be forthcoming when I get time.

Yes, it does help to have a passing familiarity. And thank you. It's fun, and I am glad I am doing it.

Oh, and I've added you to my instant messager list now.
