Why.

Add another Nico and Maki probably meltdown.
>>1933565
It's early days. Perhaps they'll modify the school uniform? From the Christmas picture, they might be adding colour-coded ribbons for Uranohoshi.
The Anime may or may not come included with koneko-chan and rosaries.
Because the stereotype seems to be Catholic School=Rich, I'm expecting Uranohoshi to be owned by the Kurosawa family.

>>1935376
What was this cropped from?
QC anon, I caught your post >>1935616 before the thread fell off. Thanks again.
>>1935636
Welcome, and here's the last bit to finish it up.
>>1928915
There's no pronoun in Nico's monologue here, though in my opinion, she's talking about herself instead of Maki, especially in light of the ending pages. So it would go like thus:
"I always keep calm in observation no matter what happens.
I can't just let go of the habit.
I can't open up to anyone.
>>1928917
[cont'd] I didn't want to leave myself exposed and have you disillusioned in me."
> A young lady
"An ojou-sama younger than me"
Again, if we're going to make all the text English, then replace "ojou-sama" with something suitably conveying its connotations and adapt as needed, perhaps "proper lady" or "little miss".
>>1928917
> I'll most likely inherit this house
"I'm definitely going to carry on the family profession"
>>1928918
> social gathering parties
"social gatherings and parties"
> I was told that's the future of skillful woman doctors
"And when I attend, I'm often called 'miss future doctor'."
> That's why I couldn't tell them
"That's why I would say" / "That's why I was going to tell them"
>>1928925
> Idols have a love ban, right?
"See, idols aren't allowed to fall in love, right?"
> And recently it's been something I've been worried about
"And recently I've been worrying over that"
>>1928929
> Surprisingly, even Maki-chan's method of teaching is really good
"Maki-chan is surprisingly good at teaching me to study"
>>1928930
> I no longer saw that dream
This is a bit literal for English, I would suggest "I never had that dream again" or something similar.
>>1928941
> doing your best even when you're alone
"doing your best no matter what, even when you're alone"
>>1928942
> Leaving it at just that
Optional but I'd use the more literal "Running off when you're done talking..."

I don't know if or when I can QC chapter 3, so if any other anon would like to, feel free. After this I will link all the previous QC posts for chapter 2 in one post again, for tidiness.
QC posts, in order,
>>1929125
>>1929168
>>1929170
>>1935616
and >>1935642 (above). I'm salty the tumblrina came in and filled up the previous thread, but at least it saves this thread from clutter.
>>1935636
Also (assuming this is typesetting anon), if you do change the line highlighted at >>1929125 to "is it fine that it's me" or "is she fine with somebody like me", then please note that it is bookended by the final line at >>1928919 saying the same, which will have to be amended accordingly as well.
For the anons who are reading/re-reading, this is a little something to keep in mind as well.
>>1935624
No.1, the doujinshi by karuha some anons have been translating.
>>1935667
I know (I'm editing it!), but what's the source of that particular image/scan? It's the back cover of No1, and I'm wondering if someone out there has quality scans of it or if that's just cover art Karuha uploaded?
I poked at cleaning up the phone photos of the third chapter (no time to really try until sometime in January), but there's just no way to make them look as nice as I want. Still hoping I can get scans of it somehow.
>>1935673
Well, I guess I answered my own question.

>>1935642
>>1935647
>>1935652
Thanks for all the hard work QC anon, you're right, in the last thought panel she said watashi no, so we can very well assume it's in her point of view (playing up her insecurity), so the order can be like (with a lot of liberty in the translation):
PG49Bubble3: [I always keep calm in observation no matter what happens]
PG49Bubble4: [I can't just let go of the habit]
PG49Bubble5: [I can't open up to anyone]
PG50Bubble1: [I didn't want to leave myself exposed and have you disillusioned]
PG50Bubble2: [To such a distinguished lady that's younger than me]
PG50Bubble3: [Whose intelligence is remarkable and praised]
PG50Bubble4: [I couldn't possibly--]
Or something to that effect.
> Surprisingly, even Maki-chan's method of teaching is really good
"Maki-chan is surprisingly good at teaching me to study"
I translated it like that because of "igai ni mo" which implies that Nico she's good in teaching on top of her being smart. But I guess that could work!
> they can't even look after your health
"they can't even take care of you", alternatively, "you can't even take care of yourself"
The first one sounds good, it coincides more with the next line of her parents being busy.
That's all my input, thanks again!
>>1936043
That was fast, thanks!
Can I request a translation for this?

If the other anon wants to clean/typeset Fall, I'm not gonna say no. But I will eventually get to it myself in any case. Awesome scanner anon finished scanning the third chapter of No,1 so I'm starting on that right now, we'll see if I can finish it before the new year.
>>1936347
That's an interesting place to motorboat
>>1936543
>tfw you will never rustle Kotori's feathers
Cleaning/typesetting anon for Fall here. Hard cleaning went faster than expected. Should I wait until the translation is completely QC'd before typesetting or just go ahead and make adjustments accordingly?
>>1937028
Godspeed anon. It would probably be easier to look at after typesetting and just make adjustments accordingly. If that's alright with you.
>>1937030
Got it! Should have it mostly done tomorrow. Would it be appropriate to just post the zip or post each image separately here with a link to the zip?
>>1937049
If there is no volunteer to QC, it would probably be better to just post a zip. The thread would fill up too quickly otherwise.
>>1936546
>Kotori's feathersicwutudidther
>>1936282
I have a question, is Fall a direct continuation of No,1 or it's just a different adult NicoMaki story? It just kinda feels like it's related.
http://horriblesubs.info/shows/love-live-the-school-idol-movie
Has everybody here watched the movie?
No? Well have your movie with subs.
>>1937702
You'd probably have to ask Karuha that. I think it's probably pretty likely, though.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/40prcvt3nf9ifer/QC.zip
Editing anon here. Rough version is done, QC would be much appreciated. Feel free to nitpick at anything. I'd like to replace the 'narration' font with the one used in the second story of No1. Anyone know what it's called?
>>1937744
Well, shit. Already found a case of missing text on Page 4 right after I uploaded.
>>1937744
Awesome! I'll give it a look. The narration font is Zud Juice.
>>1937744
Looks great anon! Here's some QC.
If you want ~ that match Wild Words, you can use Tranquil Words. It has em and en dashes too (— –). I can zip up that and/or Zud Juice if you need them.
It might be too late to do anything about this now, but a lot of the pages aren't leveled quite enough -- black areas not black, lots of speckles in the white. There aren't a lot of obvious black areas since Karuha did Nico's hair mostly with a fill for this one.
The text is too low in pretty much all the bubbles. I have a habit of doing that with typesetting too, wonder why...
And page-by-page:
Page 0004
P3 B1: Change "feels" to "feel".
P6 B1: I'm no TL, so grain of salt, but "I'm not in it, am I?" or "I'm not in it, right?" is a more common way of saying that.
P6 T1: The script is missing a translation for the floating text here, as you mentioned.
Page 0005
P1 B1: Same comment about "part of it" vs. "in it".
Page 0006:
P2 B1: TL anon might need to take another look at this. Since Maki responds about avoiding caffeine, it would make more sense if Nico said something observing how she hasn't been drinking coffee/tea. What she says currently sounds like it's missing a few words.
P2 B3: Minor nitpick, but I prefer if the "..." always goes on the line with the last word.
Page 0007:
P1 B2: "How many times do I have to tell you" should probably end with a question mark.
Page 0012:
P1 B1: So even with the moderate leveling you did, the glowy outline of the bubble around "Can we talk properly?" got annihilated. If you could do just that one white area with super minor leveling, then manually clean out the areas that are supposed to be white (leaving the bubble glow) that would be cool.
Page 0013:
P5 B3: Since Nico's next line starts with a surprised-sounding "Eh--" perhaps this one is Maki saying "Put cinnamon in it, too."?
Page 0015:
P3 B1: Add a "..." to "but".
>>1937783
Page 0016:
P3 B1: Add a "..." to "but".
P3 B2: Add some kind of punctuation to "mhm".
P4 B2: Add a "..." to "altogether".
P4 B3: Add some kind of punctuation to "mhm".
Page 0017:
P1 B1: Add a comma to "drama".
P1 B2: Add a "..." to "dancing".
P1 B3: Just a nitpick, maybe have "so tirelessly" instead of just "tirelessly"?
Page 0018:
P2 B2: Add some kind of punctuation to "mm".
P4 B1: Add some kind of punctuation to "bwah".
Page 0019:
P2 B1: Add some kind of punctuation to "mm".
P3 B1: This needs a TL check. "We got down the same stage" is grammatically incorrect, and I'm not sure what the line is trying to say. "Even though we go down the same stage" (or "went down"), "Even though we're on the same stage"?
Page 0020:
P1 B1: I believe these are usually called "marriage interviews" instead of "marriage meetings".
P3 B1: Add a comma to "um".
P4 B1: Up to you, but I think "separating from you" would be more grammatically correct.
Page 0021:
P2 B1: Add a comma to "hey".
P2 B2: Probably just a hangup of mine, but I'd go with "thinking about" over "thinking of".
P3 B2: Add a period to "hahaha".
Page 0024:
P3 N1: Add a period of ellipses to "her".
Page 0026:
P2 B1: Change to "You better not!"
I didn't see any missing text besides the floating bit that was absent from the script.
>>1937784
>P3 N1: Add a period of ellipses to "her".
Meant to say add a period OR ellipses.
>>1937784
>Page 0006:
Sorry about this, it's supposed to be:
PG6Bubble3: You've just been drinking /that/ lately, Maki-chan (is that warm water?)
Maki's just been drinking some funky remedy to cut off on caffeine that's causing her most likely stomach acidity since she's talking about an upset stomach. Funny how missing a single word makes a whole world's difference.
>Page 0019
Oh about this, it's implied that she's talking about their high school days where μ's quit as school idols together, hence "going down the same stage" as a finality to their school idol-ing and moving onto their respective career choices (Nico going pro idol and Maki pursuing medicine).
>Page 0013:
This one actually confused me a lot on who's saying who, it could go either way, but you're right, thinking about it, it might be Maki saying it. Cinnamon is not really sweet and it would go against Nico since she's a sweet lover. Good catch.
The rest looks good, thanks for the QC!
>>1937744
On page 4, there is additional text not inside a bubble. But the translation probably didn't look like something that should be added on the page.
PG4Bubble8: I'm not in it, right? (look, the spoon opposite you might have been included when you took the picture) <- the ones inside the parenthesis is the part you missed
Maki is alluding to a scandal-inducing picture when she's asking that, by taking that picture and uploading it, 'you'll expose that you're eating with someone' and mentions her spoon that's most likely across the table and might have been included when Nico took the picture. I dunno if this could be worded better so it doesn't get clunky.
Then for the rest of the pages, maybe these will look better:
PG9Bubble3: You should probably...oh
PG22Bubble2: [Nico-chan is always so unfair]
>>1937816
I vaguely remember that, but archive is dead, is there a /u/ archive somewhere?

Thanks a ton. I was a bit afraid of over-leveling since this doujin is more varied in value than No,1. I tried to match the pages that were on Karuha's pixiv in levels, but I'll go through the other pages again. Definitely nothing that can't be fixed, thankfully.
>>1937783
Yes, that would be great if you could upload those fonts. I'm not hesitant about going back and changing all the font styles (or anything really), so thank you.
with love live ending after the final live, do you think they will release the solo albums for season two songs and onwards?

So anyone wants to comment on the movie? Its got plenty of shipping fodder for a lot of pairings, old and new.
Also Honoka meets a mystery adult girl highly implied to be herFuture Self, because reasons. Considering Maki can magically turn herself into a loli, I'll buy it.
>>1938035
webm, screenshot, etc of yuri scene, pls
>>1938035
>So anyone wants to comment on the movie? Its got plenty of shipping fodder for a lot of pairings, old and new.
I haven't watched its yet. I saw the raw and a horriblesub (version 00) are up, but don't know if I should watch that or wait for a version 1 sub from somebody. Anyone watch the version 00 sub, and if so would you recommend it?
>>1937992
Thank you, I found it. Pic related.
So yes, it really is referring to when they were school idols in μ's.
>>1937744
So I guess it'll be like this for page 19:
PG19Bubble1: Hey, Nico-chan
PG19Bubble2: You've become so busy, I'm worried that you're getting tired of doing this...
PG19Bubble3: Mm
PG19Bubble4: I wanted to talk about that
PG19Bubble5: Even though we went down the same stage
PG19Bubble6: We can't be together all the time. But somehow, we've come to understand that about ourselves
There are some nitpicks on other pages as well.
Page 17
PG17Bubble5: So you were watching me, thank you for that
PG17Bubble6: It if was me from a few years back, I'd probably have been envious and felt bad about it, you know?
Page 23
Probably just reverse the translation bubbles for better flow? So it'll be like
PG23Bubble1: It applies for anything
PG23Bubble2: For the things I like
PG23Bubble3: For the things I want to reach out to and grab hold of
PG23Bubble4: Even though it's tough
PG23Bubble5: I'll give it my all so I don't ever let go of these things
PG23Bubble6: So we'll be fine now
Page 24
PG24Bubble1: You don't have to worry about these things anymore
Yup, that's it from me.

That song is SO deliciously gay.
>>1937720
wow, her stuff (picture) is great!
http://www3.to/muromaki
>>1938035
I just finished watching it, and I also believe mystery girl wasfuture Honoka, because besides having the same hair and eyes, not being seen by anyone else, she also references the break up, and knows about Hokoka's puddle jump.
I'll miss Love Live School Idol Project anime. When does the new Love Live anime start again?
>>1938035
Best part was Honoka sleeping with Eli and Nico.
Something just works about a grumpy but dependable senpai and a tall, genki and somewhat clueless kouhai.
>>1938365Too bad she doesn't make implications that she's spending her life with <insert your favorite Honker ship here>. Future!Honkers looks sexy as hell you have to wonder who is tapping that.
>>1938422
Especially when Nico find out that Honkers will always be in top. I did like the mix up bedrooms for just to see what new stuff happens. The MakixNozo moment was nice too.
The last part of No,1 is done. There are some lines I think could be clarified, and general QC is welcome too.

Welp, no more NicoMaki from him I guess. I hope Karuha makes more.

I can't help but think about the cutie panther lyrics while looking at Maki's face. Nico is about to get eaten for dinner.

>>1938937
Just finished the movie, wtf was that scene about.
So despite it would make 0 sense Nico somehow feels jealous about Maki playing Piano with someone else than her? How in any way that makes sense. Nico and Maki barely get along in the series, they are most far raibus of all. And then Nozomi suddenly knows about "Maki" while there is nothing going on?
I am so confused I could even say these 30 seconds ruined the movie for me.
>>1940210
Another way of seeing it is that Nico is a massive A-RISE fan and that she's jealous that Maki gets to spend time with Tsubasa.
>>1940221
How I didn't even think about this. I feel like complete idiot.
But why Nozomi said "its about Maki" if it is about Kira? Nozomi usually knows everything.
>>1940227
Off screen Maki and Nico are pretty close though. But I'm guessing it was just pandering. They are the most popular paring afterall.
>>1940233
Guess so.
I don't think she would pull this face just because she did not get to play piano for Kira.
>>1940182
Oh silly me, only after I post it that I notice that I missed stuff. Let's do this again.

That's it!
To typesetter anon, what fonts did you use for the story if I may ask? I also noticed that some lines weren't centered.
>>1940210
If you're just talking about the anime, you're still barely right, since there have been moments between them in both seasons that wasn't about them bickering. And that's their shtick anyway, they fight a lot but they're still somehow looking out for each other. Go listen to Magnetic Today for their dynamic.
But I agree that that scene was confusing. It's the safest way to pander to both NicoMaki fans (from the conversation after that scene, there's little chance it was jealousy about Tsubasa, since Nozomi specifically mentioned Maki, but it's still vague) and the waifu crowd, I guess.
>>1940387
Thanks a ton! Gotta give one last big huge shoutout to everyone who photgraphed, scanned, translated, QC'd, etc. to get this book done.
The bubble text is Wild Words, narration (and some thought bubbles) are Zud Juice, SFX are whatever looks appropriate. Most spoken floating text is Eager Naturalist. If there are any SFX especially you were wondering about I can tell you. Mostly, Carlisle for sharp and blocky SFX, HL Fantasy (aka MouthBreather) for shaky and heavy SFX, Augie and Akbar for random floating SFX.

>>1940387
> Back when I was an only child
This seems strange, I'll have to refer to the page in question to check against the original text. But shouldn't it be "only a child"?
Also, with no offense intended, was this QC just for typesetting and grammar? Just wondering since the QC for chapters 1 and 2 picked out a number of translation errors and/or awkwardly-translated lines.
>>1940454
"When I was an only child" is a rewording of the original, which was "before my siblings were born."
>>1940454
I'm not sure for chapter 1 and 2, another anon did qc/edit. But yeah, I kind of intended this qc with grammar in mind.
People seem to have enjoyed this artist recently, so I went ahead and scanned their most recent doujin.
https://www.mediafire.com/?y5ciip9p27yh932
>>1940490
Yes, I understand that there were separate QC anons. If you're only doing it with grammar in mind, however, then there might be translation issues which were neglected. If so, then somebody should confirm the accuracy of the translation as well.
>>1940508
It was super cute! Thank you very much for taking the time to scan it and posting it. I hope we can see it translated soon.
>>1940452
I still see a bit of stuff that needs rework, if you don't mind?
In page 9, Nico's panel does say: "Ohh, I already knew about that"
And the next bubble would be where "There's no need to feel embarrassed" comes in.
In page 10, the small bubble near Nico seems to have disappeared?
In page 13, just for consistency with the later page, maybe make the "my mother" here mama as well.
In page 15, "it's said" was on both bubbles, maybe just start the first would with: "Our paths in life are decided by the gods"
>>1940210
>Nico and Maki barely get along in the series, they are most far raibus of all
I would say that scene was there just for pandering, but to say NicoMaki are not close is a little bit of a stretch. Even in the anime canon, which arguably is where they are least close, they still try to squeeze in as many ship teases for them as possible in season 2 though.
SID and SIF are just big gay fest. The Nip sure are talented for making things as obvious as possible without spelling it out.
>>1940622
Agreed. The animated series barely covers the full extent of what is shown of their relationship in the SIDs, SIF, and even the magazine articles and Q&A columns. It also has to be added that skits penned by Kimino in the livestream shows often suggest at the pairing too.
The anime has an overarching plot (saving their school/winning Love Live) while the other materials are more character-driven, which is likely the reason.
Plus, we can't forget the CVs ship it. Who could better understand Nico and Maki than Soramaru and Pile?
>>1940622
You probably shouldn't take the comments of someone who seriously said a 30 second scene ruined the whole movie for them.
Probably someone who has only seen the anime and has no intention of seeking the extra available material.
>>1940653
It's been a while since that sort has popped up in a Love Live thread, though. Anon you replied to was civil about it in the face of what is either bait or ridiculous ignorance, and we can appreciate that.
>>1940659
It's just a bit baffling since it's known that since the PV times NicoMaki were paired together, and were a fan favourite. Even in the Natsuiro PV which is Nico's center Maki shares that position with her. But you are right, we can appreciate the civilness.
>>1940622
>they still try to squeeze in as many ship teases for them as possible in season 2 though.
I think that's what people have an issue with. Those ship teases feel a bit forced and unnatural after season 1
>>1940622
>SID and SIF are just big gay fest
Don't forget about the official manga and the anthologies. Hell there's even a chapter called "Nico's Favourite, Maki-chan"
>>1940508
Thank you very much!Happy Holidays, anon.

Sorry for the wait, here's an update. Thanks to everyone who QC'd, more nitpicking would be appreciated ie text being too low in the bubbles. If you feel I over-leveled or under-leveled certain pages, feel free to tell me as all leveling is completely reversible.

>>1940880
Thanks for the hard work anon.
where did the "Erichika wants to go home!" come from?
>>1941167
I'm assuming this stems from that one SIF poll where each girl stated where they would want to go most in the world. Nozomi and Nico wanted to go to Las Vegas and Hollywood respectively, Rin wanted to go to Africa etc., but Eli simply wanted to see how her grandma was doing in Russia.
>>1941181
Damn. It sounds a bit sad.
>>1941167
>>1941181
The meme far predates the SIF poll. In the third all-member livestream special, around the time of the Wonder Zone single, Nanjolno and Shikaco already were making a gag with it.
It seems to originate from one of the stories written by Kimino which were bundled with the s1 BDs where Eli, fed up with the gossip about µ's going around school, loudly declares in her narration "Elichika's going home!" Given how much of a stiff prick early-s1 Eli was, this was an interesting departure from it and gained popularity.

I always thought that fighting is the only way Nico and Maki know to reach out for each other. They can’t be honest with their feelings (not necessary romantically speaking), so they keep fighting as a way to interact with each other. That doesn't mean that they hate each other like NicoMaki-haters always say. You may think it’s stupid, but people that dishonest/self-centered can be that way.
On the other hand, when they’re not aware (for example, episode 1 and 5), in special moments (episode 2) or at the moment of truth (episode 11), Nico and Maki are pretty close and don't mind showing they actually care for each other.
Well, that's for the anime. Nothing to add to what others said about extra material that support NicoMaki.
The whole scene in the movie was made to give NicoMaki fans something to fangirl over and something to laugh over for the rest of the public. Nozomi confirms it when she asks Nico if it’s for Maki and she gets in her tsundere mode.
Seriously, >>1940210 we’ve been talking about this for (almost) years now. It’s perfectly fine if you don’t like NicoMaki, but at this point it’s silly to keep denying it.

Thank you so much anons for the hard work! Really, you're the best. Love Live's fandom and especially NicoMaki fans are in indebted to you.
Yesterday karuha posted on Twitter a full-color page of her R-18 doujinshi, just in case you didn't see it. https://twitter.com/karuha/status/678615951378485248
>>1941244
>https://twitter.com/karuha/status/678615951378485248
Is it a separate doujin or is it from the Maki anthology?
Also, comiket is coming soon, any kind anon over there at the moment?
>>1941262
It's a separate doujinshi, a new one for C89. Probably it's a sequel to Fall.
>>1941291
Someone has got to buy it and share!!!
>>1941243
This a million times. NicoMaki was what got me watching Love Live in the first place, and by god was it worth it.
>>1940919
Just a few suggestions.
In page 4
The bubble-less text about the spoon, maybe just reword it into something like: "You should check if you took anything suspicious before uploading it."
In page 5, would probably be better to say "I'll have to send her something in return."
In page 8, "Geez, why don't you ever tell me about these things?" would just sound more specific.
Page 8 again, "You did well in the interview section, and the clothes you wore were very cute."
Page 9, "You're almost out of shampoo"
In page 13, "Eh--I'll put some in yours then." would work better.
In page 15 "You've been covering it up with make-up, haven't you?"
Everything else looks fine. Thank you for the time.
>>1941663
Thanks anon, I'll go ahead and make the changes. I'm not TL anon, but as for page 4, would it not be more accurate to include the word spoon?
>>1941673
TL anon here, that thing about the spoon is one of those things you can't really translate accurately even if you want to, which in case turned out to be really awkward when read. I honestly had trouble with it and just put out what would sound best ("look, the spoon opposite you might have been included when you took the picture"), but I think >>1941663
's suggestion still gives the same idea without making it too cluttered.
Maybe make it something like:
>You should check if you took anything that can cause suspicion (and endanger her idol career)
So the transition is better for the next few pages about the rumours.

I've already pre-ordered my own copy and will be scanning it.
The doujin is released on 12/31. So I'll have it scanned roughly a week or two after that.

- The last character, "光", has a clock motif, signaling Maki's "Do you want to turn back time?" lyric in the song.

Just finished watching the Kouhaku edition of the NHK special live. They really have come a long way. In the clips from backstage before they were announced as new participants during the press conference, the members are excited but also close to tears.
It's sad that they can't field a full team on the 31st, but being able to attend is a great accomplishment in itself.
While we're talking about Kouhaku, Emitsun has stated that (the IRL) μ’s "will have [their] final one-man live at Tokyo Dome, but [they] are not disbanding".
http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2064632/full/
There were a number of news reports and headlines using the word "disband" after the news of the final live were out, though words coming from the leader herself are probably more convincing than outside speculation. So we may still see them at AniSummer or Lantis Festival and other such events featuring groups and artists aside from them.
>>1947746
I don't think I have ever been this proud about a bunch of people I don't personally know.
If you have NHK world premium, they will show a μ's special on the 31st at 3am Japan time. And they will also show the kouhaku Live on the 31st starting at 7pm Japan time.

To anyone playing SIF:
Would a code gotten from an overseas screening be good for the Japanese version?Actually is anyone interested in my spare SR movie Nozomi? The code expires on the 31st.

And if you still have that SR I can take it off your hands.

also does anyone know another website in which I can read fanfics?, i've been reading stuff from fanfiction, AO3 and wattpad, I must say that I couldn't find anything good in wattpad, most of its fanfics are crossovers or µ's x OC or even worse µ's x reader. I don't have complains about AO3 and fanfiction,
AO3 might not have a lot of fanfics like fanfiction but the quality of its fanfics is pretty good
>>1947824
To anyone who wants my movie Nozomi:
I'll be posting the code in two hours of this posting to give everyone a fair chance.
Good luck

If you can read Japanese, a number of good writers and fics can be found on Pixiv. If not, the last option would be checking out the blogs of writers you like on Tumblr.
Tumblr has very prevalent stupidity and poor understanding of characters, though, so perhaps it's easier to just identify a few writers whose work you enjoy, and see what they recommend or reblog.

Refer to >>1947707
And I kind of agree, the future Honk thing, the over focus on Honk in deciding their decision (Hanayo and NICO of all people letting the chance go?) but overall I enjoyed it and it was still pretty heartfelt in the end. I'll miss them.

It was really more about µ's though rather than being idols. It makes sense when you consider going pro would mean they would fully devote their future careers as idols. Nico and Hanayo would continue being idols because its their dream but the others have their own prospects. Kotori has dreams of going to fashion, Maki wants to be a doctor, Umi wants to inherit her dojo etc.
The only thing I really question is why they would let Honkers shoulder the ultimate decision. That is a lot of pressure to put on one high school girl.

Would you read Love Live fanfiction? I'm jealous of the Japanese fandom where fanfiction writers can collaborate with artists and even sell their works at conventions. Is this a far-fetched dream of mine, or am I just not looking in the right circles?

That's a very likely scenario actually, since according to Nico she got her height from her dad and her looks from her mom, so she is probably gonna look exactly the same even when she is 30.
>>1953065
Considering how the only differences between Soramaru looks now and the way she was when she was still in training (pre-debut) are barely immediately noticeable, it's basically a given.
Nico in her twenties probably is a shorter, less buff, less gangly Soramaru who can walk down stairs without any problem.
Here's Karuha's part of the Maki collab! The scans seem all right, hopefully so since I'm gonna be editing with them. It's a mere 8 pages so TL and all should go quickly.

Yes, I should have realised. I was just excited and expected good build up lovemaking.
>>1953241
That's the next one that's gonna be scanned so don't worry.
>>1953243
I love you anon, thank you so much!
>>1953178
Well, that definitely woke me up. Thanks a ton, anon! Looking forward to Murata and Fugace's bits as well.
Why are these two so cute together? They always felt like the de facto married couple in the series.
>>1954076
Idunno... These 2 always felt like the old married couple to me.
>>1954084
I love them.
>>1954076
Agree. Out of everyone I feel like they have the most cemented relationship.
this pleases me
>>1954076

How can Ericchi handle all that gay?

Translator here, done with the translation--well, kinda, I didn't think it'll be difficult to translate lewd ones because they just moan and stuff, but I get embarrassed and stumped over simple sfx. Feels kinda bad.
http://pastebin.com/d7FE8UTLThis is the first time I've translated nsfw content, I'm really sorry. You can tell I gave up halfway labeling all the sfx ;_;
Please have a look and maybe advice with sfx and generally how to word it better? Am I being too autistic about this?
Thanks again scanner anon for doing this!
>>1954967
Don't sweat it about the SFX, I'll just go with the generic porn SFX that are in everything if any are unsure.
Does anybody have a picture of that scene in the movie where Umi hugs Honoka?
>>1955124
This one?
>>1955126
Yes, thanks.
NicoMaki SUN Returns!

And here are some pretty awful phone photos of the other stories of interest. Hopefully they're good enough for TL'ing. I'll be scanning them at some point in the future; if anyone else is interested in editing typesetting these, please let me know!

What a fucking troll. Did he seriously have Elimarry Honoka?
>>1955872
I hate pixiv tags so much. Who knows how many great LL (and other) yuri marriage images are out there, but impossible to find amid the sea of other generically tagged uploads?
Nice, there's not anime yet, but already we have yuri of sunshine. Promising!
http://exhentai.org/g/892306/a2d49c05c1/
>>1955872
Okay, something's off... Saq Takano doesn't pair anybody but Nozomi and Eli..... I think he's trolling people to buy the book and it's going to turn out like what is expected, with Nozomi and Eli. b/c that last page was like.... WUT
>>1955872
I hope he's joking
>>1956039
It seems they are walking down the aisle. Honoka is in place of Eli's dad? You know who is suppose to give Eli away?
>>1955872
>>1955876
I love yuri wedding pics.
>>1955872
Honoka's playing the father of the bride, mainly cos noone has a clue what Eli's parents look like.
>>1956039
>>1956106
Ok, these seem likely as I would like to think that no artist would give away the ending to their own doujin, and Nozomi is wearing a ring on an earlier page.
Maybe if someone can translate what's being said here.
>>1956157
And here
>>1956152
Oh ok. No need for the translation stuff, unless someone wants to.
>>1956152
Yeah, I was thinking that was a bit off for Saq Takano's work. He's totally infatuated with NozoEli.
>>1956152
Should've used Eli's sister for that instead.
What are the best Aqours ships?
If Takano only does NozoEli here's an artist who does only HonoEli. Wonder if we'll see any of this scanned.
http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=32718
>>1956521
I think there's some of his other works scanned.... I seem to remember some HonoEli, but it's not really my thing, so I don't bother reading them. However... that picture ishot
http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv240908203
There will be a livestream event today with the Aqours cast.
http://live.bilibili.com/10112
I don't know how much of this is left.
>>1957157
An animated series was announced for this summer. Maybe now people will actually learn to spell the name of the group correctly.
>>1957318
I'm freaking amazed really.
µ's is understandable. Some people still haven't learned the alt code.
You have no excuses however for Aqours since there's no fancy alt operation you have to learn.
>>1957323
Aqours girls will also be added on SIF later this month. I am so hyped!
This artist put the whole NicoMaki part of their doujinshi (which also has some NozoEri) on pixiv. If poor TL anon wants to add this to their huge pile of stuff to do, it would be a breeze to edit.
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=45374919
And here's the book. The artist also has a Hibike book and a few others that haven't been scanned.
http://www.toranoana.jp/mailorder/article/04/0030/22/60/040030226047.html
My copy of Karuha's full-length lewd book should be here in a day or two. I'll defer to the other anon who offered to scan it because his scans are definitely better than mine.
>>1957539
Thank you, I'll work on this too!
I also got my hands on a NicoMaki doujin by senyuu (100 whopping pages book!) and intend to scan and eventually translate it. Any tips on scanning? This will be my first time doing so.
>>1957674
From an editing perspective, besides the immediately obvious (no ketchup stains, pages not at a
45 degree angle, etc.), the important things are proper black/white tones and having the pages lie flat. In lieu of debinding, it takes some manhandling to make the pages lie flat, which also helps avoid gutter shadow. I put a few heavy books (but not so heavy they'd damage the scanner) on top to make it flatter. As for the page tones, just take a look at the first few scans and make sure that no gradients are being whited out or details lost. If they are then there are some scan settings somewhere you'd need to change.
Also, save everything as PNG. Grayscale PNG is more convenient for the b/w pages, but as long as it's PNG it's fine.
Non-debound scans can only be so good. If you can make them lie reasonably flat, they'll turn out fine! Good luck and thanks for taking on that huge doujinshi!
>>1957674
I had the opportunity to read that Senyuu book when it was uploaded elsewhere, before the thread was locked from too much backlash and negativity.
It's a good book in terms of art and the author's effort. Just, please, don't be discouraged when people react badly to it. We're here in support!
It would be nice if we can have a QC anon who can check TL, too, rather than general grammar/typesetting.
The last of my NicoMaki stuff finally arrived! Murata's new book is on my to-scan list, too.
Karuha's doujinshi is pretty awesome. Basically Nico and Maki have happy sex. With some Maki crying because that's requisite in Karuha stuff.
>>1957971
Are you scanning the kuraha doujin?
Scanned the other two bits from the collab and also took photos of Murata's new one for TL purposes. Some of the pages turned out blurrier than others, so TL anon, let me know if there's anything unreadable.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/bcvvsc9x1crs8xc
>>1958027
This anon >>1946351 has already offered to scan it, and if I'm right in thinking that's the same anon as >>1940508, then we already know they provide better scans than I can.
>>1958030
Some of the pages are too blurry to make out, yes. Specifically page 13 and 18. I'm halfway through translating it though, it's super cute! I'm halfway done through the Fugace one also, which leaves me two more pixiv stuff to translate.
Haven't started scanning the senyuu doujin, but I'll get to it once I'm done with what I got.
Thanks for sharing!
>>1958515
Sorry about that. These are much more readable.
>>1957674
Good work, anon. To add onto other anon's post: for non-debound scans, I still put two sheets of dark (preferably black) paper behind the two scanned pages, to prevent previous pages bleeding through. I don't like to mess with the levels until they're put into photoshop, keeping the original scans in case a page is overleveled. If you need further help on cleaning the scans, feel free to ask for help!
Anon started another thread but didn't link it here: >>1957956
We can keep the scanlation stuff here for now, though.
>>1957971
I'm not active on /u/, but I did remember someone posting a pixiv link to the artist? I'm just curious if you went by that and had a shopping service get them for you? Or was there some doujin event that had to be bought in person? im not familiar with this artist, but I need more Nicomaki doujins in my life~
>>1959302
I usually use pixiv to stay abreast of when artists are releasing new stuff, yeah. Although sometimes they announce things on twitter, and I'm not a twitter person, so I have to rely on people on /u/ to link those announcements here.
And yep, that picture is the result of three different shopping services. One of them is from C89 (so it did have to be bought in person, by the service) and he others were Toranoana/Melonbooks orders.
>>1959333
Thank you so much!<3

Done with this.

I'll add the afterword in today, along with the shorter R18 Murata. Thanks again for sharing!
>>1960026
Thanks anon! I lucked out and the scans of Murata's book turned out better than the ones from the collab (might have something to do with print quality), so editing shouldn't take too long.
What would be a good title for this one? Something like "Look Here, Honey"?
>>1960026
Here's the afterword for that story.
Afterword
Hello. This is Murata bringing you a lewd Christmas manga. Despite this somehow being my third lewd manga, I try to stray away from creating R18 books as much as I can.
I apologize to everyone who was surprised seeing the contents of this book.
Because I've always done non-lewd themes, I was worried about how this turned out.
I always had difficulty putting romantically intimate themes surrounding Yazawa Nico-chan. I love the reliable big sister Nico-chan as well the Nico-chan Kimino-sensei wrote, so every time I think about how to portray her reaction to such a situation it always turns out badly.
This is supposed to be where I should thank all of you for reading this, but I don't know why I suddenly ended up talking about this. I will stop here...I don't know if I will be doing lewd manga again in the future, so back I go to the world of wholesomeness.
I guess there are artists like this too, Murata is 3pure5me.
Here's the shorter R18 Murata doujin.
http://pastebin.com/VaBw7vN0
If anyone wants to QC, please go right ahead. I guess it would be better if they were already on the scans itself though, huh?
>>1960807
Title sounds good, I went with "Look this way, Honey" when I named the folder for as well as the pastebin, but that works better.
Looking forward to the final product! Thanks for the hard work!
>>1961004
Oh whoops, I didn't notice the title on the pastebin.
Should be done tomorrow, hopefully!
Or tonight, apparently.
