Lyrical Nanoha

Hmm...I've never talked about another manga before except OnS given that it has been quite the focus of this blog 😅 even if I barely write theories or analysis, it has been a fun ride but...the purpose of this post this time, is because I'm actually wondering if a signal, even if it's so dimn, even if it's a tiny one will actually awake something once again.

🤔 I want to fulfill a dream. A personal dream which is to translate the Original Chronicle of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha the 1st.

Long ago...I couldn't read it at all cause I didn't know how to read japanese but years passed, it was either a coincidense or perhaps it ended up coming back all together but it has been 20 years since the series came to life...and there are just 6 chapters translated...I want to make it till the end.

It might take a bit but I want to do it

Two of my absolute favorites! Ulrich Hite is an ancient Nosferat and has a finger on the pulse of every thread of information in the underground of Cincinnati. He is fair, elegant, and honest. But he is also rule abiding and prefers order over all. As they say, the only sure things in life are death and taxes, and Ulrich does not work for free. But anyone can pay for his services. Such is his way. He is a German noble from the distant past, and even in life he was known as an ugly man. In his undeath, little has improved. Though many do tell him he is fortunate, for a Nosferat. It could be so much worse, they say. But he is used to being valuable only for his uses.

Serenade is the sweet southern belle of the ball, as it were. She sings at a music club on Thursday nights under the guard of her protective older sister, Evangeline. She is a gentle woman, but she speaks from the heart and can’t be deterred once she puts her mind to something. Serenade didn’t want to go into church work like her sister, and so she earns a modest living serving during the daylight hours. She is an absolute star even there, with regulars that would lay their lives down for her, given the chance. She is turned in the course of this chronicle, and the story is absolutely one of my favorites I’ve ever written, and I might make a little novella out of it. No idea what I’d do with it lol maybe just throw it up here for people to read for free.

Yes, they get married. Yes I love them and they love each other. And he tells her ever day how beautiful and wonderful she is, and how lucky is to have her. And she tells him every day how beautiful he is and makes him almost cry when she does.

My completely historically accurate M. De Voltaire. It’s true, you don’t have to look it up lol

He isn’t all that fleshed out yet as a character, but he is a Malkavian, and I tell my players his mental illness is being French 🤭 No, but it’s more of a sociopathy geared disorder, on the obsessive side. I’ll find just the right one soon! And when I do, I’m sure I’ll also have more art of him and his mini Voltaire lol

It’s been ten years and Nanoha still has a firm standing in my life. I think about this as I scan pages for the upcoming Original Chronicle scanlation.
