The Sohma Riku Thread

[Sohma Riku]

Hi everyone, as I'm somewhat bored right now, I decided to drop down a little message here as well. I'm usually not the person to keeps things short, but I'll try.

So, I'm Riku... last year I graduated from university with a bachelor degree in Japan studies. I can't really say I'm fluent in Japanese (my conversation skills are pretty basic), but I'm pretty good in anything that allows me to use a dictionary. (usually to check if I'm right in my thinking) So, translating things is going pretty well...

I doubt anyone here actually knows me, but if you do it's probably not because of the little manga translations I did. (right now that's only some Naruto chapters to Dutch) You'll probably know me for creating English subtitles for quite some Prince of Tennis musicals (as Amaris).
That being said, I probably started translating when I was only in my first year of university (that's 2008). My skills were probably non existent then, while I thought I wasn't doing that bad. But as years passed by I actually improved quite a lot and I'm quite confident in 99% of the cases that my translations are correct. After all, I didn't graduate from university doing nothing.
So, even though my target language on MH is Dutch, I also translate to English.

Also, I can be picky as to what I translate when I do it for free, but when I get paid I'm willing to translate about anything. ^-^

Right, if there's anything else you want to know, please ask. I'll try to answer as soon as I can.

Nice to meet you Sohma Riku. I'm wondering if you could help in translating a few preview manga pages. Sadly I'm broke and can't pay X.X
Thanks in advance
One of them look like this:

[Sohma Riku]

Depends on the amount of pages if I'm able to help you. A few pages would be fine, but I don't think I have time to do full chapters right now.

 

[trunkschan90]

It's actually just those four pages that need translating. I just noticed you translated them in another thread so thanks for your help

I'm kinda scared to ask but I know you'll give an honest reply so here I go...
Please please please please help me translate the last 5 chapters of a bunko! The manga is really old though so I'm not sure if you'll like it ^^' I cleaned the chapters already, just looking for a Japanese translator to help translate.

The project is called Ouke no Monshou, I wanted help with ch 86-90 (I have the japanese and chinese raws available.)

Thank you for reading my request. I'm sorry if I bothered you in any way.

Hi Riku,
I as hoping you could translate Biyaku Cafe for me, Its a manga I've been wishing for years to be finished translating. Doesn't look like that will happen anytime soon.
So here I am. I'm willing to pay, (im desperate) lol - If it could be done as soon as you can have it complete. There are 4 volume left 0 about 5 or 6 chapters each volume. It hasn't been tranlated since chapter 12.

Hey!

I'm Raine for Summer Rain scans. I was just wondering if you by any chance are still translating Japanese manga? We urgently require a Japanese translator who can translate one chapter of a Josei manga called Soshite, Hare ni Naru by August 2 (at latest). It's really urgent as I'll be leaving a few days later and because we won't be releasing anything while I'm away, I'd really like to release it before I leave - although this all depends on whether we could find a fast JP translator willing to help.

I'm really sorry but I can't pay you. The holiday I'm taking has already burnt away my funds.

Thanks for your time and I understand if this is something you rather not take part of. It's all up to you.

Hi, I would've loved to help you, but the chapters are quite long, have quite a lot of text and (since it's a josei) no furigana. (I know a lot of kanji, but certainly not everything... so the lack of furigana means it'll take longer to translate, as I'll have to look up the kanji.)... Anyway, I really don't have time to translate it right now. I would probably be able to get it done before the 2nd, but to do so, I would have to delay other translations and I don't think that would be fair towards the other people...

Well, I hope you can find someone to translate this for you. And have a nice day.

Hello

I'm sennarose from asdf Edited Mangas. I'm here to ask if you can translate Love Riron http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=79319. And although it's embarrassing to say, we don't have the money to pay. We're a pretty chill group so you can translate it leisurely whenever you have a time.
We already have the raws for it. We already release 2 chapters already but the TL for it went MIA, so we just need someone to translate it to continue.Thank you for reading and Good day.

Hi, I've taken a look at the manga, but I'm afraid I don't like it too much. Besides that I'm pretty busy, so... I'm afraid I have to decline.
I hope you'll be able to find someone else to translate this for you.

Hi,
as much as I would love to help you, I'm afraid I don't have time at this moment to accept any more requests at this moment. I'll have to finish up a few other series first, before I take up any more work. Feel free to contact me at a later point of time if you like.
