Amnesian

We're putting Amnesian on indefinite hold. This is not because it isn't yuri - it will be, we all know this. The newest chapter even has some rather suggestive sexually themed scenes. No: It's just that this is not the kind of manga I like, which is getting more and more apparent. I just dislike it.

I liked chapter 1, and I wanted to like this manga. We, Cryssoberyl and I, managed it through the horrible second chapter, past the annoying third, and even beyond the seventh. But it's enough. We're throwing the towel. I hope someone better than us picks it up - someone who really likes the Manga, can get it done quicker, with better editing, and better translations (that's the other issue I had with it: Kaishaku is so...vague! Translating obscure otaku references is far easier than Kaishaku).

We'll be better off focusing on Choir or something like that.

I'd like to apologize to those waiting for the manga (all five of you!) and to Audio Erotica specifically, who was so kind to take over scanning for us. Especially she deserves the apology, for she scanned the last chapter, which we were not even able to finish. I am sorry for this.

Maybe you'll appreciate the other things we will do. Maybe not. Either way, Amnesian is on hold, so don't expect any future chapter from us.

Zettai Shoujo Seiiki Amnesian Chapter 7

Here we are again, with another Chapter of Amnesian.

There is no particular need for translation notes this time - except the box on the 'title' page, which is really not about anything anyone will care about. Unless you can fly to Japan and plan to poke Kaishaku :P

As for the contents, you probably know what to expect by now. School hijinks, Chikane trying to be seductive, and random trouble, this time resembling Ranma tropes quite a bit. Kaishaku really seem to like old mangas.

Regardless, I hope you can enjoy it. I actually did, in parts, which makes a nice change. It's pretty good this time, actually. ^_^

Oh, and thanks again to Audio Erotica for providing the scans so nicely.

Zettai Shoujo Seiiki Amnesian Chapter 6

Well, it has been a while since the last release. We were, alas, somewhat busy. And swamped. And ill.

Still, here you have it, the sixth Chapter of Amnesian. Thanks to Audio Erotica, who provided the scans this time <3
By now you can probably guess the contents. Some plot, some yuri, and the usual annoying Kaishaku trolling, this time involving some scenes we all remember from Kannazuki no Miko's earier episodes.

A small translation note: The "Satori" bits are completely unclear to me. A Satori is a kind of mythological creature if written that way (they're uncommon but sometimes appear in games and manga, and usually have three eyes). I put it as refering to the item in question. Could also be about consulting a Satori about it. I wouldn't know, and I certainly can only guess. Chances are it's probably they're really going to consult a "Satori" that, naturally, hasn't been shown or mentioned so far. It's Kaishaku's writing, after all. Sometimes, even guessing won't do :D
[At times like this, I wish I was doing Yuri Hime mangas. Those are at least clear and don't throw around stuff like this all the damn time!]

And yeah, they really made a reference to Indian astrology there. And to jewish kabbalah.

Either way, have fun!

Zettai Shoujo Seiiki Amnesian, Chapter 5

Time again for Amnesian, but before turning to chapter 5, we need to bring your attention to some errors that we apparently made in chapter 4 involving Shizuku's dialogue.

At the time, we took those incredibly vague statements in the most logical way we could, but in light of chapter 5, it seems our interpretations were mistaken, or at least overly specific.

So, this chapter 5 release also includes two updated pages (27-28 and 29) of chapter 4. The release files of chapter 4 will also be updated with these new pages soon. Please replace the old pages. We hope that these are more true to what was actually meant, although as always, trying to read Kaishaku's conjoined minds is a matter of dead reckoning...in other words, please blame them and not us. :P

So, chapter 5. The mystery of Shizuku is in one sense solved, although only one...it'll be interesting to see what role this character plays in the story further on.

Finally, we are trying a new, lower impact approach with regard to sound-effects. This new method, which is something of a compromise, will save us work, preserve more of the original artwork, and will hopefully allow us to bring you chapters more quickly.

That's about it. As always, we hope you will enjoy. Comments are greatly appreciated.

Zettai Shoujo Seiiki Amnesian, Chapter 4

And here we are again, with Amnesian Chapter 4 for your reading pleasure. It undoubtedly marks a huge improvement over chapter 3, that's for sure.

We have several new characters, including friends of Himeko, as well as various villains.

There's even a shocking revelation that actually seems to be quite a bit confusing for at least one character. Yeah, the translation really doesn't seem to be able to go another way. Make of it what you will, it interested me quite a bit - just like the dream image Himeko has of herself...take a careful look there~

Translation notes, there's some. First, the color page has an untranslated part in the upper right, cause, you know, I can't be bothered to put in the effort to edit "And it has a color page OMG" onto the COLOR PAGE. Just redundant.

Second, on page 8, there's the name of the secret underwater hideout of our villains, Ruruie. We didn't bother to translate it, due to space reasons. Ruruie means, kanji-wise, something roughly like splendor of the dragons, with ie also sounding like home, so there's an implication of "Glorious home of the Dragons". Similar dragon kanji than the one in "Dragon's Cry", those sanctuaries the villains are trying to destroy. A connection? We don't know, but since it's Kaishaku, it might very well be, hence the note.

Finally, those of you who disliked the "Black/White" levels in Chapter 1 and 2, do you like it better this way? It'd be nice to know if the editing is finally done properly, in your eyes!

Zettai Shoujo Seiiki Amnesian, Chapter 3

Amnesian Chapter 3 is here.

Ahh, Chikane...how far you've come from the bashful girl we once knew. That outfit, really? I can only wonder how Himeko might have reacted in better circumstances.

Also, two new characters appear, one of which conducts the latest in what some would claim to be a series of escalating attempts by Kaishaku to troll their yuri fanbase.

Not I, though it's an odd feeling. If I had been simply reading this, I might have been as enraeged as anyone, but having actually worked on it myself has rendered me curiously stoic. In any case, Chikane's chicanery (Chikanery!) is more than up to the task. Just keep repeating to yourself, "The only reason he's not dead is because Himeko said so!" and you should be fine. Just, uh, try not to notice where his right hand was just before offering a conciliatory shake on page 39...

Tons of new jargon this time, a fair amount of which we probably got wrong. I never truly appreciated the vagueness of the Japanese language until I started trying to turn it into English, and Kaishaku's love for non sequiturs doesn't help. Regarding the "Falcon's Eye", it was impossible to tell if Sanada was referring to herself, or a seperate person/organization/etc. She seemed to be using it in the sense of another entity, so we treated it as such.

As to Sanada's special technique, the "Kouketsu Cloth", Zefiris' research says Kouketsu is "A brocade bag containing various kinds of medicines and perfumes, tied with iris or wormwood, with five long strings of different colours hanging from it. May also refer to the cloth-dyeing technique with which these strings were colored, similar to Shibori." Look to Kaishaku for all your lessons in Japanese textiles.

Please enjoy.

Amnesian Chapter 2

And here we are, with chapter 2 of Amnesian.
A lot of things happen, as usual. We learn where - and how - Chikane prefers to sleep, see her being her teasing self, and see the two investigating whatever the villains are up to.

The villain this time is really unpleasant, so I have to add a Trigger Warning for pages 16-19 for sexual assault.

Let's hope this takes care of Kaishaku's usual problems...and let's hope you can still enjoy the chapter(especially the first 13 pages, which have some adorable content!) despite that.

A few notes. First, some of the textbubbles were horribly small. I apologize for the small text there, I just couldn't fit it otherwise. Second, on the villains. They are called Kuyou, with the kanji for nine and for weekday. We translated it as "Nine days". Let's hope Kaishaku doesn't pull something tricky. ^^
On the JPG thing some people messaged me about: I can't see any difference, and PNGs are a lot bigger as well. I scan in PSD, so no, at least no jpg->jpg conversions ;)

Finally, on page 21, there is one of the usual special attacks. We translated the kanji meaning, because it's more understandable to the average english reader: The furigana read "raizando" in katakana, which appears to be both the reading of some of the letters, as well as Katakana for "Reizend" a german word that usually means cute (in fact, the villain, while smiling nicely, could be considered reizend), but can also mean irritant. A small pun, it seems. Yay Kanji.

If you got any criticism otherwise, feel free to have at me. Comments welcome - and remember to thank Cryssoberyl as well, for a lot of help and spotting a ton of artifacts and other errors~

Zettai Shoujo Seiiki Amnesian, Chapter 1

And so begins a new tale of the famous lovers. Will the Fate they choose to struggle against smile upon them in the end?

In order to forestall any questions, I must explain that the "antagonist" of this chapter disappears abruptly and without explanation or reference after page 53. From the artwork, it could be supposed that they teleported away, but there is really no way to be sure. I blame Kaishaku for this confusion, and so should you.

Please enjoy. Comments are greatly appreciated. In particular thank Zefiris, who worked herself to exhaustion and, with her last ounce of strength, passed me the download links before collapsing into bed. Her hero(ine)ism will be remembered forever.
