IT’S FINALLY HERE! Sorry for the wait, but I’m very busy and Tsucchi is deliciously hard to translate properly. Anyway: Remember what happened in the latest chapter? Our ikemen of a MC got pussyblocked by the mysterious and delivish girl she almost run over and now she can’t stop thinking about her! What’s she gonna do now?

Special thanks to: @flapjack21 for proofreading and to all the kind Japanese people who helped me (みんなさん、本当にありがとうございました！)

Amano Shuninta – Touma-kun

Hi, here I am with another manga translated & edited by yours truly. The first chapter of Liberty had an unexpected success and it convinced me to continue with the series, so stay tuned. Today I brought you a one-shot by Amano Shuninta that was published on the first issue of Galette: Touma-kun, a story about an insecure girl who becomes acquainted with the most popular girl of the school. Sounds familiar?

I want to thank all my friends for helping me with the script! They are truly my best friends.

Ten Tanka by Fujiwara no Teika (part I)

First (relevant) post! How exciting! I guess I should start with some explanations about Tanka and Fujiwara no Teika. Tanka 短歌 (Short poem) is a type of Japanese poetry composed by 31 syllables divided in a 5-7-5-7-7 pattern. One of the master of this kind of poetry was Fujiwara no Teika (or Sadaie) 藤原定家 (1162-1241) poet, critic, calligrapher and much more.

He also compiled the famous Hyakunin isshu 百人一首(one poem by a thousand poets), maybe you heard about this one thanks to anime. But enough with the history lesson, let’s take a look at two tanka.

The beginning of a new great adventure

And here we go.

I can’t believe that I started a blog, but here we are. On this page, I won’t talk about me, as I already have Twitter for that, but I will post various stuff translated by me, from English to Italian, from Italian to English and from Japanese to Italian and English, and maybe some little post about translation itself. Why this blog? Because I’m bored and sometimes I wanna try new things. I know this blog isn’t pretty enough, I’ll embellish it when I’m not busy studying, playing videogames or being miserable. Regarding the name of this place: yaku (訳) means, among other things, “translation”; there’s also a word-play on the word iyaku (意訳) which means “liberal translation”. Yes, it’s a shitty word-play, I know that.
