'Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo'

[X360] [JAPAN] [MAGAZINE] [2010]

"Early summer. A society which imposes special "Duties" upon everyone who breaks the law. The individuals who oversee these criminals' rehabilitation are the "Special Elite"ーa rank the protagonist, Kenichi Morita, hopes to attain. To do that, he must pass his final exam, for which he arrives at a certain country town. At the school Kenichi attends, he encounters girls bound by various “Duties.” Those obligated "to observe a 12-hour day" are forbidden from being awake for more than 12 hours per day, and those obligated "to remain in infancy" cannot grow up. It is meeting Natsumi Hinata, the girl who "cannot fall in love," that throws him out of gear. Soon, Kenichi makes a series of odd discoveries… his own grave, erected secretly on a clifftop; his patrimony, hidden deep inside a cavern. Kenichi finds that he must search for his own atonement in this dystopian society. What is the truth behind the Land of the Spinning Wheel? Discover for yourself through Kenichi's eyes!" ~Kickstarter ("Re: Sharin no Kuni Project")

Kourin no Machi, Lavender no Shoujo Fan Translation Started – looking for TLC

This is Kourin no Machi Lavender no Shoujo, not a sequel, but a story set in the same setting as Sharin no Kuni, and it’s the more light-hearted, inferior cousin. Project started in the beginning of April, and is led by shcboomer(?). Total lines is 36959. See Official Blog: [kourintranslation.wordpress]

They are looking for Translation Checkers (TLC).

About Page: “A fan of Akabei Soft2 VNs, played through Sharin no Kuni & Fandisk as well as G-Senjou no Maou. I’ve always wanted to see Kourin no Machi, Lavender no Shoujo translated as it is set in the same setting as Sharin no Kuni. Even though it was in Japanese, I took the time to read through it and enjoyed it. It isn’t on the same level as the other works, but it was still a decent VN. Since it’s been almost three years without any groups picking it up, I thought I’d start my own project to try and see it translated. My Japanese is not the best, but it should be better than machine translations.”

Personally, I would advertise for a main TL role? Because the TLers I know (including myself) usually don’t like going over other people’s work. Although I guess it could work if you translate all the lines you know, then leave only the hard ones for the main TL?

Anyways, good luck shcboomer.

You can contact the group by leaving a comment on the blog, email me (and ill pass it onto him), or message shcboomer on the forums.
