I was just about to make a thread to ask why this girl reacted like this.

>>133781819
>Somehow, hasn’t Chinatsu’s figure changed...?
>More toned?
>How does one dance do this to you...
It's because dancing with Tatara is a passionate battle that's changed Chinatsu a lot from the wild stallion she was before. And Tatara's got that satisfied look on his face from such a dance, when she doesn't have that with Mine-san.

>>133781945
Ah that fits, thank you.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Akira is the secret main heroine?

>>133782053
How so?

>>133781797
Not him, but seriously, what is this thread for OP?

>>133781819
You should have just made the thread faggot.

>>133782374
>You should have just made the thread faggot.
OP was faster and there's no need to make another if this one came up.

>>133782374
It's a thread for the ongoing /a/ scanlation effort to finish Ballroom e Youkoso chapters 29-42, because Paragon Scans has take 85 days to do the next chapter when it's been translated for almost six months now.

>>133782833
>>133782504
That's why the OP is just scripts. There's two cleaner/typesetters who put them all together, working off of Dancefag's original TLs or the edited for English ones that don't always get used.

There are some pages on Chapter 28 that aren't stitched together, right?

>>133782181
I dunno, it kind of feels like Akira needs the most development in order to stop being a shitty person, and that Tatara's probably the best vehicle for it.

>>133783046
>Tatara's probably the best vehicle for it.
Wouldn't that be Chi-chan? The only person she has been an ass to is her.

>>133783717
Chii-chan's already moved on past Akira, especially as a partner. And they can't dance together anymore, since they're both women. Tatara seems like he'll be the inspiration to Akira to change and grow as a dancer, so that she can get on the same level as Chii-chan or even surpass her, and maybe they'll end up together as partners for a while since Tatara's going to be a dancer who draws in partners.

>>133781819
Which chapter is this?

>>133784713
28 on Batoto.

How many chapters are left?

>>133781772
Slight update to chapter 28 edited script, to incorporate some really good lines from the typeset version of chapter 28 on Batoto.
http://pastebin.com/vXqnYzhk

There are still some edits to be made though, and I'm compiling a list.

>>133784491
I don't think this story is going to be about MC getting a ton of partners and building up a harem.

>>133787199
I don't think it'll be quite a harem either. Some of the characters, like Shizuka, will probably just be rivals and friends. Chinatsu might end up that way too, if Chizuru and Sengoku are any indication. But I do think we'll see him have more partners than have been introduced, assuming the author lives long enough to make Ballroom a decade long.

>>133788217
I just want her to live long enough for Tatara to leave Japan.

It seems that the chapter 30 and 31 are already done according to the anon yesterday:

>>133771589

>>133790653
With my wast insider information, chapter 29 should be released today.

Also, just to ask, do the editorfags have the tankobon scans of volume 8? If so, may I see them?
It became apparent with volume 6 that the magazine scans are different from the tankobon release. I'd like to correct any differences.

>>133790653
Yeah, I think that editor is just using the Dancefag script with a few changes here and there. The scripts for 28-30 were ready since last weekend but chaper 28 on Batoto doesn't use it.

>>133790801
I have volume 08 but I have no idea where I got the raw. I thought there was a link in a prior Ballroom thread here.

>>133790801
An anon asked for it in the scanlation thread:

>>133683605
>>133683767
>>133683906
>>133685332

>>133790943
God... Had I known it was this easy I wouldn't have spent hours downloading sketchy .zip.rar files from the internet in hopes of lucking into the scans...

Thanks.

Jeesh, there's probably not a single matching line in the first five pages.

>>133771589
Don't do nothing yet. I need to retranslate the entire volume probably.

>>133791028
No, it just looks like the first 5 pages of chapter 33 got transferred back to chapter 32 in volume 7.

>>133791103
First chapter alone has new panels, a new page, and changes lines.
But it's not nearly as different as I initially thought. This shouldn't take more than an hour to do.

Maybe the same age as Tatara or one year older? They're in their first year of high school so that should be around 15-16.

And FYI, except for the colour page with 6 MCs, the rest of colour pages all have MC.

It's Hyoudou wearing the blanket from the plane after getting off in Japan.

In all seriousness though, if you look at the eyes and eyebrows, they do look a little more like Hyoudou's, and the hair is sort of brown rather than black.

>>133791581
>>133791665
Not to mention that was used as the MAGAZINE cover. Why would that sort of image have a side-character taking the entire page?

Same colour hair as Tatara.

Oohh... That red mantle he is wearing is Chinatsu's dress >>133791894
And then he's explaining that the flowers Tatara is holding are only found on the top of high mountains.

Take this as you will...

>>133791883
No, that was me. I thought they looked like Forget Me Nots, but the translation, courtesy of Dancefag >>133791860, is "I'm thinking of you."

WHAT

>>133792009
Ah, so it's like edelweiss here.

>>133792009
Oh yeah, thats abit weird tho.
I think Tatara will stick with Chii for the rest of serie, they have quite alot of moment compared to Mako or Shizuku in sexual terms.

>>133792048
Just realised the yellow/gold thing is from the left side of the dress.

>>133792009
It kind of feels like Chinatsu's just a stepping stone to greater things now.

>>133792124
Don't forget the purple. You see the same purple under Tatara's arm as by Chinatsu's feet in the magazine color.

>>133792149
Yeah, does the same thing happen to other female characters?

>>133792168
True, I remember some people saying the end game could be with Shizuku like the first chapter but who knows? Could be true or after 6 years in making manga, author decides to change focus to new female lead. I would love to see Chii-chan become new FeMC, and a bit of timeskip so Tatara can gain a bit of height.

Chinatsu just stops bleaching her hair to look like a yankee, and she'll look like that in a few years.

>>133792246
Well Chinatsu's his first permanent partner. It might just be that she'll be around for a while so she gets a color like this.

>>133792292
I did say that, right?

>>133792318
With (bi)monthly, she will be around for a few years with us. Just hope the author wont die on us.

>>133792377
With bimonthly and our recent luck, the author will last one year and wrap everything up with this Grand Prix before quitting forever. I'm still bitter about Yuichi Kumakura slowly dying since 2006.

>>133792446
This is his first manga right? Author and artist at the same time is definitely hard, research material must be a pain in the ass when you dont have professional help like in Souma.

Talk about bitter, I still miss Let lagoon, not the greatest manga or anything but I kind of like it.

>People really believe Tatara will end up with Shizuku.

Tatara will end up with Dance

Fuck you fuck everyone Tatara will end up with Chinatsu and they will eventually be husband and wife

>>133795487
Butthurt?

>>133795887
Just had to get it off my chest and tell it like it is.

>>133795487
Chii-chan is sex.

i'm confused now. Chinatsu is Chii-chan then who is Chizuru?

I can't help but fear that the Chii chan arc will end soon and he'll move on to some other girl that I'll probably end up crowning as best girl too. I thought Mako was best, then Chii chan, pretty sure I'll think his next partner will be best girl too. I don't want that to halogen..

I've read all the live threads and caught up with the raws even though I can't read moon so that's what I'm basing this on.

>>133796107
Sengoku's partner, they even mentioned having the same Chi when first met.

Its either Chiduru or Chizuru.

>>133796189
I still remember the times when people doubted me saying Chinatsu was easily the best girl, over the current favorites Mako and Shizuku, although I doubt anybody considered her the best girl.

>>133796107
You probably mean Chiduru, who is Sengoku's partner. Her correct romanization is Chidzuru, but as that's super weird for anybody not Japanese, I went with Chiduru.

>>133796235
Chizuru on the other hand would be a different name altogether, although it is sometimes used for Chidzuru as it is easier to say than Chiduru and not that far off.

>>133796302
I liked Mako a lot during her arc but she felt too innocent and young for our boy, which was why it was so easy to discard her and move on to the real heroine of the series.

>>133796189
Even when reading Mako arc, I never see her as potential FeMC, guess because of her saying "back to Oniichan" that turn me off.

Also, their personality (Tatara's and Mako's) are pretty much the same, so they would hardly become couple to me.

>>133796302
>Chizuru on the other hand would be a different name altogether

Really? I dont see much difference when Im saying those names. Probably because of my own language.

>>133795487

>>133799365
It should be perfectly fine for every language.
You've never seen a neon sign for a shop with the text going vertical?

In the West it's typically only used for single words though. Still most poeple can read no problem. Only dyslexics I've heard have problem with it but ... they kinda have a problem with all types of text.

>>133799476
Yes, it's readable.
Looks like utter shit though.

But, there's no better alternative, really.

>>133800381
>>133799476
yeah, i will go with that.

I binged this a few days ago on Batoto. Thanks for all your hard work dancefag and co. What's this stuff about the author though? Is she like D. Gray-man's author?

>>133792292
It's a red herring, I guarantee it. Chinatsu will be his long time partner, but for some reason at the event he pairs up with Shizuku as a one off.

>>133801538
Could be that the two are the most dominant dancers at their level but have different partners so for this one time and one time only, they will dance together. Hyoudou and Chinatsu will be watching in the background, being very jealous.

That will be when the questionable relationship between Chii-chan and Hyoudou begins. Full of dishonesty, sex, NTR, blackmail, etc.

>>133801801
The author probably hadn't thought of Chinatsu though.

Remember, that first chapter was a good, what, 6 years ago? It's probably there because she initially planned for Shizuku to be the main heroine, and changed her mind along the way.

>>133802652
She could still be the main heroine, just both hero and heroine won't be romantically involved with each other. The only example I have is Akame Ga Kill....

Next time, i won't do most of the SFX. It takes too much time for nothing...

>>133808567
Look at the relationships too, for some reason women tend to do it more realistically.

Holy shit there's still so much untranslated.

Unedited. Dancefag has translated everything that is out as far as I know.

>>133809977

>score 14
up in flames, Chinatsu on suicide watch

>>133814595
Didn't they leave halfway through the competition?

>>133814595
they got "Full check" what does it mean?

>>133814732
That's what the scoreboard seems to suggest, though I don't know Japanese and so haven't read 29 for myself yet.

>>133814830
It means they got a perfect score.

You should really make an editors note there.
It's the third time someone has asked itt alone.

>>133814241
I'd leave it Grandprix Standard, since it's referring to the style. Putting standard first would change meaning.

>>133815077
Alright, put it in there.

TL note: "Full Check" means that Tatara and Chinatsu got perfect scores for their waltz and tango from the judges.

>>133815142
This.

I wonder if we'll ever hear more about Kugimiya's past. It seems like there's a story there.

I won't work on chapter 32 and jump directly to chapter 33 for the next week

>>133818787
Ok.

>>133781772
Should we have a note about sweep over the dance floor? It's a pun, meaning either moving gracefully over the floor or conquering it.
