Clockwork Planet

Post by yukaras »

Hello and to all the readers of this post, I would like to suggest the translation of the light novel/manga "Clockwork Planet". Its creators are Kamiya Yuu (also known for making "No Game No Life") and Himana Tsubaki. As its title suggests, the story revolves a mechanical planet run by gears and it illustrates how that world begins to fall apart. Currently, there is a manga of "Clockwork Planet" and its up to chapter 7 which gives a proper insight of how this story begins but the light novel is on its second volume.
Since I have no idea how to properly put up an image I have provided these through the link below.

I would like to state, as a personal opinion, that the mechanical dolls part of this story seem similar to "Kikou Shoujo Wa Kizutsukanai" but the story and the world presented seem very enticing. I do hope some translator(s) will pick this up because I'd love to read how the story unfolds.
Hopefully, I wrote this well and included enough information to share my interest to another. Thank you for spending the time to read this :D

This was a novel? Damn, then yea, one of the few ecchi series being made with an interesting set of characters backing it up. By all means someone translate this. Good series.

that's the link to the manga version. If its adapted from a novel then it will probably be a monthly.... I would rate it as an 8.5/10 so far. Most ecchi series don't crack 7.5 for me so that's a pretty damn good score coming from me.

I think they're hoping for more than just a mere prologue...

Well, I'll see what I can do this week.

The project will not be hosted on BT however. It will be a heretic-exclusive project.

I've read the 7 chapters of the manga, love it so far.

Yeah, was hoping there'd be more than just the Prologue on heretic ln translations, but I guess I've got to wait a while :(

Clockwork Planet continuing translations

Post by PrismatiCore »

I've picked up Clockwork Planet recently and quite liked it. When I found that some of the Chinese RAWs that hasn't been translated yet... I was surprised. Since I can only find Vol1 and Vol2 translated, i decided to take up translating Vol3.

This is my first time translating, and i hope you senpais will be gentle. I've created a page in the teaser section for it, and i have already completed the prologue(though it is unedited). I am 3/4 of the way through the 1st chapter.

You can find Vol 1 and 2 here. I hadn't gotten permission yet from the TL to put a link onto the page yet, so i'll just leave this here for anyone who is interested in reading.

My apologies, in my last post, i said that I had Chapter 1 "3/4 done." That turned out to be a mistake. Apparently, in the raws, there's this really weird labeling system. I copied it below:
序章
第一章
第二章
间奏 起死回生
第一章 探索者
第二章 灾难
第三章 解放者
第四章 带领进步者
尾声 救世者

As you can see, there's 2 instances of chapter 1 and 2......It's really weird. So, I split up the prologue into 3 parts consisting of the prologue, and the short "chaprters" 1 and 2. Sorry about that, i got confused
