Y-you too

Great, I thought the project would be dead

>>135654933
Any fan worth their shit doesn't need things scanlated, least of all shitty jobs by amateurs who would completely bomb out on the ATA exams and likely couldn't even pass 日本語能力試験2級. All you do is enable lazy retards who don't really care about the content and will never support the people who produce it in a commercially meaningful manner.

You're not a proper translator, you're some fucking pleb looking for EOPs to suck your e-peen. Fuck off namefag.

Hello there; it seems you have a lot of pent-up anger to take out on someone, and if it is directed at me, I am sorry to hear so.

I would like to assure you that I have passed my JLPT N1 exams about 2 years ago, and am currently working in Japan as a apprenticing mixologist in Bar ROSE and SAPPHIRE. I share your sentiments, and can see where they come from; over the years subbing and translating as a hobby, I have found many a sub/translation to be subpar or even downright horrendous, often due to a poor grasp in Japanese (and, at times, English). Even AKB49, prior to my induction as the main translator at around chapter 140, was fraught with horrible translations. In all humility, I do think myself as one of the better translators- if you pardon me sounding arrogant, the best, in fact, among those I've known- and I believe you will find my works satisfactory if you would give them a look, in particular on the Aidol site.

On another note, I agree to some extent that it would be ideal for fans to not require translation, possibly taking up the language out of passion. Nevertheless, I have always hoped, as a translator, to inspire such people to love a series as I do, and thus I do what I'm doing now.

I wish you a Happy New Year, dear sir.

Will you do live translations of the series, like Boku Girl or Ballroom e Youkosou? The series seems fans seems to be dead in /a/ considering this thread.

Thanks for all the work you've been doing. I've followed this series since the beginning and have enjoyed the ride. I'm sad it's ending but honestly it's been dragging way too long.

>it's ending
I'd like an alternative ending where he is turned into a real girl as an act of god.

Disaster averted

Thanks for all your work, OP! Also the rest of the group, esp. those still working on the series. Happy new year!

Here's a random one: This lineup supposedly contains parodies of Kashiwagi Yuki, Tomomi Itano, and Shinoda Mariko. Do the last two (silverhead and dark elf) look like anyone you know from AKB?

Is Okabe blonde or pink?

Is the manga worth it to read?

>>135659578
Absolutely. It's like Eyeshield 21 with idols and crossdressing. It has wonderfully hateable villains, and some emotional moments that made me genuinely shed a tear.

>>135654933
How did the manga get conceived? Did the author make a pitch to the publisher, who then approached AKB's management with the idea? Do the portrayals of real people go through a lot of vetting?

>>135654933
Is the dream of an anime dead for good?

>>135654933
>Q) Is AKB49 going to be translated?
>A) Yes. I am still working on AKB49 with some of the original gang, and as long as I have a drop of blood in my body, I will keep doing so.
Cheers, OP. You're a cool dude.

>>135654933
How likely is a harem ending for Minoru?

>>135657814
So a Needless ending?

>>135654933

Thanks for all the hard work.

I'm actually working on my translation skills as well though I'm pretty far from being skilled myself.

Happy 2016.

He only has eyes for Yoshinaga, so it seems highly unlikely.
