Or 彼岸飛行少女ナエコ
This is a one-shot I found randomly. The raws are watermarked but meh. Just figured I'd dump it so I'm not the only person who knows about it. The Artist is Watari Rei (渡れい, AKA Wataru Rei. for some reason). The one shot is about planes and drawing or something?
What the fuck is this? I like the art style
>>148869827
So do I, hence the dump. Author's almost a complete unknown, only another one shot of theirs, Kurenai no Ansatsusha, has been scanlated.
So it's about..manga? Illustrations? I still can't read this for shit
>>148870189
Might be about writing or calligraphy...?
And it's over.
Here's the whole thing for download, watermarks and all:

The only thing I understand is that some magic stuff is involved, and that she beat the smug face kid or something similar

It's cool, I didn't expect to get a translator's attention, just wanted to potentially spread interest.

So a writing affects reality story? I always love these.

Thanks Anon and Bravo Nolan.
Thanks TL anon!

>>148879788
how'd I do?
this was my first crack at translating a manga
>>148880182
Didn't see any grammar or spelling errors, that's good, if that please you or want a better feedback, there's the scanlations threads when they are up at >>>/a/scanlation
>>148880182
I only skimmed the raw a bit, but it looks pretty legit for a first time anon. You might have a knack for this.
>>148880430
>>148881414
T-thanks senpais!
>>148879646
Thanks very much, TL anon!
Okay, I'll try typesetting, but know this: if you;re interested in typesetting it DO SO. I'm slow and inexperienced.
>>148881795
Good luck, anon!
>>148881795
Thanks.
>>148881795
Are you redrawing as well?
If not, you can drop a link to zipped PSDs after typesetting and I'll handle it.
It may take a week or so though; doing other manga at the moment.
>>148883176
Or if you're in GIMP, an XCF is fine too.
>>148883176
I'll see to cleaning up what I can. The first page looks like this at the moment. Actual redrawing is something I've never done.
Although for this page I screwed up the psd somewhere along the way so the final product is, like, the only one. Whoops.
>>148883535
>Although for this page I screwed up the psd somewhere along the way so the final product is, like, the only one. Whoops.
Haha, I think everyone does that at some point.
Once, I fucking resized and then closed a double-page spread (RIP undo history) after redrawing everything. It wasn't the end of the world, since it was still a reasonable size, but fuck.
>>148883535
If the thread dies before you finish, you can email it[email protected], post it in the archive, or make a new thread, and I'll find it.
>>148885352
Thanks for reminding me.
>>148885488
Aye, aye!

I'll also update this pastebin at some point for anyone who wants the PSDs and such:
