I think that is a side-story...

I personally am not a fan of them, but the comrade who's doing the russian version, apparently is getting them from Chinese forums or something. God knows, I'm not too fussy about presentation. But it's a nice story, not without its shortcomings, but better than most.

I think it is CG... computer graphics, at least I think Photoshop work is considered to be computer work ^^

Don't worry, you where not fooled ^^

Uhm, btw. why Schwarzesmarken? - Black Marks would be "Schwarze Markierungen" (http://www.dict.cc/?s=marks) vs. (http://www.dict.cc/?s=marken) against (http://www.dict.cc/?s=Mark)

How do you spell "Schwarzesmarken" anyway? (or maybe "Schwarze Markierungen" like darklor said)

Hm, would be interesting to know what the author wanted to express... - we only know for sure that this something is black (or in German: schwarz) Is it possible to get a hint from the context? But one thing I can: say something is wrong how it is combined - maybe its the "S" in the mid or the en "at" end - so its either Schwarze Mark/ Schwarzes Mark or Schwarze Marken (or is there even a "t" missing like in "Schwarzmarkt" (black market) ?

Japanese German....simple as that.

The kana is really Schwarzesmarken. It's the 666th's unit name.

The name came about because they are black marked so to speak as they ignore any deviation from their near suicidal mission of targeting Lux class BETA. This means they do not relieve allied units from enemy pressure

Urgs, weird - and painful to read at least for a German with a little knowledge of grammar...

btw. you mean that they are death marked, right?

It is kind of a stigmatized group...so that's why black...

else it would be todt marken or whatever is the correct grammar for that...

Come on where are you Mister V?

He is rather busy with work lately, however the translation is in progress ^^

Thanks for your information, Lolidragon.

Of the existing chapters summarized at http://schwarzesmarken.jp/story22.html, how many are included in the current three collected volumes?

And how's progress coming along? Been quiet for a while.

The second chapter is translated, now it is being checked for typos and such.

It is big ... all chapters are about the same size as chapter 1, so around 60-70 pages.

Mister V is currently in the land of work... so there is little time for translating MLS, but the progress is ongoing.

Huh? Land of work? How old is he anyway? Well i am just a 16 years old highschool student so i kind of curious about how many type of otaku like young ones or old ones thoigh.However pls know that this is just me being curious, not insulting any adilts, just pure respects thats all.
