My newest discovery... hentai doujinshi
Jan. 5th, 2010 12:32 am
Lolicon doujinshi at that... This is a Kenshin pairing, Aoshi Shinomori (the badass samorai archtype) with young Misao Makimachi (She is wearing Aoshi's coat obviously)
The only thing that sucks is that I can't read japanese... Some of the dcans I've seen there's actually a back story going on besides the gratuitous sex and I really wish I knew what was being said. Some of the english ones sound like 'engrish'.
Anyway, that's what I've been up to. How's the new year going for everyone so far?

You might come across another name on the last part of pg 6, the name is Megumi Takani, kanji = 高荷 恵

Some of the kanji, it's like asking a Japanese person read sloppy English handwriting... And I DO kind of wish twhere was more kanji than hiragana in some places...but the style is typical hentai doujin XD
So, Megumi Tanaki is the girl, and the guy is...?

Date: February 7th, 2010 09:01 pm (UTC)I found a kenshin/kaoru one that has a lot of back story, but it's kinda long and I feel like that's rude to ask you to translate for me, since I have no way of paying you or otherwise returning the favor. I see now what you meant about the 'engrish', I guess you have to take what's written and sorta transpose it into something you'd hear normally in english, like "It's really raining in a downpour with enthusiasm" could be, "Wow, it's really coming down out here." or "It's raining cats and dogs out there". I certainly have a greater appreciation for those who translate manga and doujinshi now. The only other language I know is german and there are no problems getting it into english, I guess because it's another european language. Hope you're feeling better I saw your post about the shower from hell.

Date: February 8th, 2010 12:24 am (UTC)If I say 'It's raining cats and dogs out there', but the kanji for 'cat' and 'dog' is nowhere in the sentence, there are some people who will say 'THAT'S TOTALLY NOT WHAT IT SAYS AND YOU DON'T KNOW JAPANESE AND YOU'RE WRONG WRONG WRONG AND TROLLING OMFG!'
You shoulda heard what happened when I translated the hell arc from 'Are you profoundly/truly sad, Sesshoumaru' to 'Are you so heartbroken?'
And when I said 'In that moment you wish to save your beloved's life, you must also feel sadness and terror'... People argued with me that Sessmom didn't call Rin Sess's 'beloved life' - BUT THEN THE OFFICIAL TRANSLATIONS ON HULU OF THE NEW ANIME HAVE HER SAY EXACTLY THAT. >_<"
XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD
I just try to be as accurate as possible though, which sometimes leads to engrish, because I got wanked so hard in the past for being 'wrong'.
I'll be done soon, as soon as my niece, who is now living with me gets off the photoshop computer and I can jump on there and spend some time putting the words in the bubbles.
Sry it's taking so long, I've just been SO BUSY.
In general though, this is kinda dub-con in nature at the start, and she whines about how much it hurts and all he says is 'be patient'... She also remarks on how rough he's being in his 'attack', and hopes that he's doing it out of romantic feelings for her.
It's not flat out rape, but it's definitely typical Japanese hentai where she's protesting in the beginning, so if that's going to squick you, let me know now.
I don't want the words to actually RUIN THE SEXY for you.
Yeah, I went out for coffee to cool down and get some 'me' time and I blew off the party. (I'm a bad, bad sister... but BY GODS I COULDN'T HANDLE IT.)
ETA: There is also a part where she says 'ATSU!' which literally translates to 'High pressure' or 'great force', but I have her say 'SO FULL!', but I made a note there.
