いいわけ (Excuses) by カント

[zzztranslate]

Pointless rambling about minor details no one else cares about (SFX):

I try to translate most of the Japanese onomatopoeia SFX into a rough English equivalent. Sometimes I erase the Japanese and write the English in its place, sometimes I write the English beside it, sometimes I write it over in an outlined font - I don't really have a consistent method.

I noticed in some of the ~official, professionally-translated~ manga I read, they usually include a direct transliteration of the sound and then the rough English meaning in parenthesis below it. Maybe I should do that... I think I have a couple times. (So inconsistent.)

Also, it seems like different publishing companies have different SFX translation policies (my sample size is just like a couple volumes from each company so this is definitely not conclusive but whatever):

Yen Press: original Japanese text, transliteration of sound in English letters, English meaning below in parenthesis.  

Del Rey: original Japanese, English meaning only written nearby.  

Dark Horse: same as Del Rey  

Tokyopop (lol): original Japanese, SFX completely ignored in translation  

Viz: Holy shit, they edit out the original Japanese and replace it with the English equivalent for everything, even if they have to redraw some of the manga to make the words fit! Hardcore.  

Vertical: Same as Viz.  

Drawn and Quarterly: Same as Vertical and Viz.

Uh... I'm not really sure where I'm going with this...

SOUND EFFECTS! WOOOSH!

『昔に比べて』（Compared to the Old Days）by ズィ（Zi）

Translated with 8-bitsoundwavedance! Translating DAT ASS jokes: a team effort.（ゝ。∂）♥

I haven't seen this show (yet), but I translated the artist's comment too and it seemed like a bit of a spoiler, so I'll put it under a read more just in case:

"He was so much more angular in his "Frontier" era, wasn't he!"

So this Magnum Ace dude was originally known as "Silver Frontier" and he used to be an Iron Soldier. This means nothing to me!

Anyway, seems like a cute show, so I might check it out eventually.

Please feel free to delete my comments if you reblog something from me!

My art, translations, screenshots, whatever. Just as long as you don’t delete the source when I’m posting someone else’s stuff, it’s cool. I don’t care. In fact, what I say is usually pretty stupid, so I encourage you to delete my comments.

The Internet needs more appreciation for the Victory! By the way, what’s the typical font for English comics?

[zzztranslate]

It really does!

And I use Anime Ace. It seems to be a popular font, although some people complain that it's used too much.

This site also has a good guide for English comic book grammar/fonts.

Sorry, I've been on a hiatus of sorts. Just haven't been feeling well, both physically and mentally, for a while now. I hope to get back into translating again soon, though.

Oh, hello there! Thank you for your submission.

Glad to see another Victory fan too.
