Unlicensed/Dropped

Just added this so nobody starts flipping out because they haven't heard...

Vol. 1-2

Please translate them!

I've half a mind to XD But it seems as if they're off limits ^^;; Wow.... I've read up to book 17 O.O What does the 'unlicensed' thing above this mean???

Isn't it like this?

I am not sure about 'licensed' thing, but isn't translating it for free considered the same as fanart and staff? As long as you dont sell it, you should be able to be able to translate just fine. It's not like all of us have the possibility of buying it anyway.

This can be licensed but...

... but due to the low market demand Viz has stopped releasing the light novels after only 2 volumes. Can't you possibly consider resuming the project?

A quick reply

As of now, it's off-limits. We're still trying to stay low-profile as of now (Now impossible considering that Hachette already sent a C&D order over regarding the other series.) Also, even if we do reinstate this series, the translation progress wasn't enough to keep it alive, unlike say Zero no Tsukaima, mostly due to the difficulty of translation. If we can get enough help (you can never have enough translators though) and progress on this series and when Big Boss declares that it's safe, you can expect this series to be reinstated.

did anyone keep/not lose their copy of volume 7

updates claim that it was fully translated, so if anyone still has a downloaded version... could they re-upload it? (assuming that we don't have to start translating it all over again for legal reasons...) --17:32, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Project Revived!

I thought I wouldn't see this day come, regardless, cheers to the revival! \(≧ロ≦)/
