Conversation with U-Mizu Scan Translator+The Future of Real Account Translation Project

~~~

So about 1-2 days ago, the translator from U-Mizu Scan (The Original Translation Team of Real Account) contacted me on Twitter. He was a pretty chill guy named James Evans. If you have free time, it would be pretty cool/nice of you to send him a message of thanks. That kind of small action means a lot to translators. Much more than you might think, as I’ve come to realize personally through HnG translation project.

So the conversation went like this:

*J=James     *G=Glsasses-Kun

J: Hey it’s Lingwe (previous Real Account translator). Thanks for picking up Real Account. I had planned to come back to it someday. But because of other projects (as well as real life job etc) it had been a bit longer than I meant to hahaha. Happy for you to keep going on it for now. I’ve got up to ch 92 so if you drop it at any point before there I can pick up again.

G: First of all, before anything, thank you very much for your hard work. I really enjoyed your translation project. Translated up to Ch92, but I’m guessing others(ex.typesetter) were busy? Just wondering.

J: No I have the volumes bought up to that many (actually to 95). I haven’t done any trans past 60.

G: So is it cool if I pick up @RealAccount with Mangazuki and continue to translate?

J:yep happy for this. If you do end up dropping it I can pick it back up, but if you stick with it that’s good too 🙂

G:I never thought I would get the chance to speak to the original translator; pretty cool experience. From your reader: Thank you very much!

J:Hey glad you liked it. Translating so others can find out what is going on feels pretty good ^_^

So yeah, as you can probably see, he’s a nice person. If you ever have time to spare, it would be nice of you to send him even a short thank you message.

And I relayed this conversation to Alaitheen (one of top admins in Mangazuki). And I will be translating this series with Mangazuki from now. That is, after he finds a skilled redrawer who is up for working on this series. It seems Mangazuki will start properly from Chapter 61, where the previous scan group left off. So yeah, you guys will have to wait a bit. I hope for your kind understanding and collaboration. If you guys want, I can translate and upload pdf files like how I’ve been doing before. But just telling you ahead that my re-drawing skill is almost non-existent. So yeah, that’s about all for Real Account from Glasses-Kun. G night~

#Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter so that you guys can know when I upload the translated version and also know more about what’s going on.

#If you guys enjoy the translation, please leave a comment/support below or on MyAnimeList(Tell me what series you are following if possible). Any support would be greatly appreciated. If you also mention where the support is coming from in the world, that would be pretty cool.
