Yaoi translations needed

[resonant]

Well, all right, not, strictly speaking, needed. But, you know, passionately desired.

Can any of you smart and well-connected people put me on the road to translations (or scanlations) of the following?

Nitta Youka: Haru wo deite ita series. (I have scanlations of 1 and 2. I also have a bizarre translation that goes all the way through volume 5, but it has quite literally been translated from Japanese into Polish by one person and then from Polish to English by another person, and it totally shows. A better translation would be lovely.)

Nitta Youka: Groupie and Casino Lily

Shiuki Kano: Nothing Without You

Takashi Kanzaki: Meisai Tengoku vol. 1 and 2

A million thanks to anyone who helps me out with these. (Or a smutlet, if you like.)

In other news, took the kidlet to the Halloween store today so that they could enjoy being voluptuously scared by the skeletons and such. What I want to know is: Why do so many scary gargoyle decoration creatures have clearly male chests with nipples? Far as I know, only in primates do you get nipples on the males, and these creatures really don't look like primates. But there they are: nipples. Often lovingly detailed ones. I find this baffling.

edited 2020 to retroactively correct the kidlet's gender pronouns

Aaaaugh. LJ just ate my comment.

Haru wo Daite Ita 7 and 8 are available from Nakama. Sounds like you already got 1 and 2 from essence of purity. Never seen 3-6.

ob-session has Groupie, and Sakura-Crisis has Casino Lily. Though neither series is complete, I think.

Nothing Without You isn't scanlated, as far as I know. There are a few other Shiuko scanlations at Nakama and ob-session.

Guess this means I'm going to have to figure out how to use the sites that make you download images via IRC rather than the Web.

They used to have lots of great stuff on the web at Shi-Ran, but it's been down for a month or more.

Sounds like you already got 1 and 2 from essence of purity.

From Altar of Fire, actually. I really prefer translations rather than scanlations -- I already have all these books, and I'd prefer not to saddle myself with the large files. But I'll take what I can get.

Anyhow, thank you very much. Would you like a smutlet? (http://www.livejournal.com/users/resonant8/61885.html?mode=reply&style=mine)

Nine days later... LJ comment notification, she ain't what she used to be.

Shi-Ran's down permanently. There are a couple of scanlation sites that are good about making their files available on the web -- Mochi Mochi (http://mochi.harusame.net/) and hochuuami (http://hochuuami.raygungeisha.com/) are particularly prolific. (And, as I'm sure you noticed by now, all the files I mentioned to you are available via regular download; IRC is ugly and confusing, and I'll have no truck with it.)

Anyhow, thank you very much. Would you like a smutlet?

Eeeee. Who would refuse when one of their favourite authors made an offer like that? I have a sort of... fetish... for post-war Harry/Ron schmorn, if you're amenable.

I've bookmarked both sites, and will check them out.

And I rather love Harry/Ron postwar schmorn, too, as well as the word 'schmorn,' which is, like, everything I need in life. So I will give it a try!
