Made this account just to say thank you for translating the current event. I wasn't expecting anything to be up for at least another week... then I stumbled across your journal with everything all translate??? Thank you so much! Now I can jump in and suffer in this enstars story /dies

Re: Thanks!!

No problem! I'm always translating little tidbits for study purposes, but this time I found myself translating an entire part. Then another. Aaaaand another. Before I knew it, I had 4/20 parts done, so I kind of gave up and decided to translate all of it and upload it somewhere. Having others read my work and post comments (like you!) makes it all worthwhile, so thank you!

There's a lot of feels in this story, so yes, prepare to die. I died many, many times...

thank you so so so so so much for this translation oh my gosh

Fujimatsuri is my favorite story and I've wanted to share that love with the EN fandom... I've been translating it slowly, until I found out of this translation and I feel so blessed right now, thank you so much ;_;

[riayain]

No problem! Thank you for your sweet comment!

This story's just so sweet. You find out how dedicated Souma is to Kanata, how strong friends Souma and Adonis are, etc. You're also left wondering just what exactly's going on with Kanata's family (why all the hate?) and why does Madara seem to hate himself? It's a pretty darn good story that made me fall a bit more for Madara. TFW you keep falling in love with characters who hate themselves. (e.g. Mika, Shuu, Mitsuru, Leo, Madara...)

Since you've been translating it slowly, I assume that you must be somewhat fluent in Japanese? If you encounter any mistakes, please do let me know! I'm like, barely JLPT N1, and I never learned Japanese history, so there's a lot of stuff that didn't make sense. The amount of Googling was ridiculous, aha.

Sorry for my late reply!

I agree so much, this story introduced Madara so well and gave us subtle hints on other characters we already love ;_; ♥ Madara's already showing hints that he has his own sad backstory as do all enstar characters... Lol. And I love it :') I'm really excited for more, and I hope Kanata gets more spotlight for him! Personally it was Chiaki in this story that got me hard since I'm a Chiaki/RyuseitaiP, but in general this is just suuuuch a good story, one of my top fav!

There wasn't any mistakes at all, you've done such a great job on this translation, I have no idea how you managed it in 5-ish days, as soon as I found out about your translation I sent the link to literally all my friends LOL ;; thank you so so much. There's only the small typos of who talks and what not, which I have a few more to point out:

In Slasher riot part 6:
Madara: Eh, I can battle too? Target shooting with shuriken, huh~, kind of like the target game at a festival, sounds fun ♪

This should be Shinobu!

Flowers on the battlefield part 5
(As his predecessor, I should pointing out the right path, but...) -> forgot the "be" in should be

Madara: yup. Everyone else (...) -> Minor but missing capitalisation on Yup

That might've been it? I know I've said it so many times but seriously, thanks so much, you've done God's work :')

Edited and credited! Thank you so much for all your help. Wouldn't be able to do it without people like you.

I swear that every single one of us are secretly masochists. Otherwise there's no way we could deal with ranking, HE Japan's blunders, and all the angst in each story. ;P

I have a broken ankle right now, so there's plenty of time. I actually study Japanese full-time, so I just thought I'd strike two birds with one stone, y'know? It was difficult pushing out roughly 4~6 parts per day, yeah, but the story was just so good that I was desperate to share the love with everyone else ASAP.

Once again, thank you for all your help and the sweet comments!
