Hello guys, new member here. I hope I'm doing this right. D:Synopsis (from animesuki):
The romantic comedy story revolves around an antisocial high school student named Hachiman Hikigaya with a distorted view on life and no friends or girlfriend. When he see his classmates talking excitedly about living their adolescent lives, he mutters, "They're a bunch of liars." When he is asked about his future dreams, he responds, "Not working." A teacher gets Hachiman to join the volunteer "service club," which happens to have the school's prettiest girl, Yukino Yukinoshita.
A little background, I guess. I've been translating in the scanlation community for quite some time (a little over 2 years, I believe), and felt that I needed some kind of level-up in terms of translation projects, so I took the plunge towards light novels. I'm actually clueless regarding this title, in particular, but after a cousin handed me a copy of the first volume and I flipped through it, I was kinda impressed. Lo and behold, it's actually one of the top rated LN for the year - and it's got an anime coming up in April 2013, to boot.
So yeah, I felt like I wanted to take this on. I asked a friend to advise me on how to go about this and he pointed me to baka-tsuki, so… here I am. Included here are the first few pages of the first chapter (I'm still working on it).
