Choir

If you're wondering where the releases are:
I actually managed to bust my HDD somehow, and lost the internet raws, among other things. Have been trying to find them again after setting up my system again, but without much success.

I apologize.

We'll probably manage to buy (and then scan) the volumes once we manage to scrape the money together if I don't find the raws until then, so please have patience until then.

Thank you.

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.

Choir Chapter 9

And here we go with Choir, Chapter 9.

Again, it's halloween, and various costumed trick-or-treaty hijinks happen. Surprisingly, Mayuko is all fired up - how come?

Well, be prepared for a "Mayuko-repulsing dirty story" as well as the usual, chest-related stuff.
Or maybe no, not really.

Read it on dynasty.

Choir, Chapter 8

Time for more Choir! It's summertime for the girls, and that means sleepovers and festivals. But, when doujin work ties up Mawata and Kyouko, will Mayuko and Shousei spend some intimate time alone together?!?!?!??!???!!?!

I'm pleased at how steadily the level of yuri is increasing. Much more is on the way, I assure you! I hope you all enjoy it as well.

Read it on dynasty.

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~
