Would you ever consider doing commisions on translating stuff? Like for example getting paid to translate something like Shadows Cry?

To be honest, I have been planning on translating Shadow Cry for a while. Like after Owari no kakera (Still in chapter 3, haven’t made progress in a while though. Do check out chapter 1 and 2 because I worked hard on them!), And while I’d love to get paid, I’d still feel really bad for getting paid for translating something I had already planned on working on for free

But if you’d like, I wouldn’t mind attempting to translate chapter 2 (I heard chapter 1 has already been translated somewhere) if you could send me the scans in DMs. I’d appreciate it! Also I haven’t read Shadow Cry yet, but I know I’ll be interested since I heard Shinjiro’s in it (Yes, I’m that simple. Shinjiro is in it = I’m more motivated to work on it)

finally I drew my Izumi again :'D this time in the P3RE art style

I'm not too particularly proud how it came out but I think it's close enough

Hey all!

So, Shadow Cry...

I learned about this novel that focuses on Strega and a original character named Izumi, who is one of the experimented children that disappeared a few years ago and was taken in by a nurse. In the first chapter he gets introduced and is shown to be familiar with Jin and Takaya, as they were pals back in the day.

I really adore this side of Strega, especially Jin! We get to see this story in his perspective a bit, and I really enjoy it. Unfortunately only the first chapter has been successfully translated, so I went to read the book reviews to get a better idea what happens in the end (and hoooo boy, was it something). I’m definitely considering adding this idea into my HCs in my verse, I really wish this was more well known and perhaps official (unless it is?? I can’t say for sure).

I went to design how Izumi might’ve looked like based on the descriptions they gave about him in the first chapter. Honestly I’m good with how this turned out, though I wasn’t exactly sure with the haircut I gave him, I wanted his bangs to mostly cover his eyes, but not entirely. He seems like a chill dude :’) I like it.

Metaphor ReFantazio...

LITERALLY JUST ADAPTED SHADOW CRY WITH FIDELIO, VINCA AND BASILIO. I mean, Vinca is literally just Izumi. Someone experimented on who because he couldn't get his medication began to freak out because of melancholy that ends with you having to fight him to put him out of his misery...

i know most of the main cast might not recognize me by name- that’s okay! i’m the guy that worked at hagakure ramen haha. i’d be glad to speak to any persona 3 fictive, but i’m obviously more interested in strega. jin especially. i miss him.

FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR MORE CONTEXT/DETAILS ON PERSONA 3 SHADOW CRY NOVEL:

There is a japanese Amazon page that has ppl reviewing the book!

So if you happen to have a Translator extension on your browser, that can help with translating the page automatically.

I've used both Google Translate and DeepL in separate tabs to get more accurate readings (I recommend using both since one page would translate some sentences better than the other and vice versa), and I've been learning more and more about the story, characters and even what the suppressants do (I mean they do more than internal organ damage guys!!).

The link is in the blue text, so you can check it out and see it for yourself (I wasn't sure if I should make a document of all the text [and correct them] myself but if enough ppl request it I might do it whenever I have spare time).

NOTES I feel I should add:

Izumi and Takaya tends to be called she or her in the translations, most likely because they tend to be names used by women most often. Something to keep in mind to prevent too much confusion with the translations

"Plover" is just Chidori, the translations just refer her to Plover sometimes since that's what her name Chidori means in japanese. So yeah, not a new character lol

There is an english review of the book already at LiveJournal, but it does not go in as depth as these Amazon reviews do. But it surely won't hurt to check that out too if you haven't read it yet.
