Saiyuki: Pafu magazine interview

Any requests?

It's the return of the Cafe Rangers! Sort of. Normal guy Maki has an anime-worthy day when, in order to defeat the Emperor of Evil and his Evil Robot of Destruction, Cafe Rangers Red Taro, Yellow Toku and Professor Minagawa literally drop in on Maki from the future.

Sanzo and the others come face to face with some of Muten's illusions, but what if that isn't an illusion Goku being eaten...?

Happy Halloween! Have a Saiyuki treat (^_^)
Sanzo, Gojyo and Hakkai come face to face with Muten, the assassin who kidnapped Goku. What is his next plan to take down the Ikkou?

I wanted to post the first bit of the Pafu magazine interview with Minekura Sensei as the second half of today's postings, but alas, life got in the way. So here's the translation of first track of the Bad Company drama CD, which has been sitting in my notebook since... early September? (-_-;;) Hopefully this weekend I can start working on the Pafu Magazine interview *crosses fingers*

Summary: In a ghost town not on the map, two new assassins try their hands at dealing with the Sanzo Ikkou.

So, to celebrate my turning 22 today, and to make up for the lack of weekend posting, I bring you two updates in a row! First off, here's the last few pages in the Saiyuki Gaiden Memoirs: more fan messages, the Saiyuki Ibun promo, and the front and back covers.

Quick break from the Saiyuki translations...
It's so laaaaate... Here's the continuation of M2: THE CAFERANGER! Blue Taro, Pink Maki, Yellow Toku, and Professor Minagawa are back, but can they rescue Master from the evil clutches of Black Wrecker, aka. their former comrade Black Jun?! And who is the Cafe Rangers' new ally?! Find out below!

Sorry it's so late. I've been having computer troubles, as some of you know already, but it looks like things are finally settling down! So I can get back to my more normal posting schedule (^_^)

Here we have the end of the Gaiden Memoirs Q&A. Kenren reveals some of the secret contents of Tenpou's room, we find out who Minekura Sensei's doppelganger is, and Sensei sends messages to the guys at the end of the series.

( Read Me )

There's still the fan messages about the series itself left, plus some extra pages (Saiyuki Ibun promo!)

A bit earlier than usual, because I have no weekend (≧∪≦) In this section of the Q&A, Kenren gets his skull adornment, Minekura Sensei shares some illustration tips, and Konzen teaches us how to properly and perfectly stamp documents.

( Read Me )
There's still some more Q&A to go, then messages for Saiyuki Gaiden

Time to start the Q&A with Minekura Sensei! In this section, find out some of Sensei's Gaiden 'image songs', what kind of book Konzen borrowed from Tenpou, why Kenren's afraid of heights, and more

( Read Me )

More Q&A ... probably next weekend.

First off, thank you, Anonymous, for the Cthulhu with flowers! is very cute (≧∪≦)
Also, hee! 100th post! Of course, that includes Soto Notes and things, but that means I have almost 100 translations up here! Neat.

And now what you've been waiting for: Character pages for Goujun, Li Touten, Kanzeon, and Jiroushin

Next: Question and Answer time!

Continuing with the Character Pages: Kenren, Tenpou, and Nataku.

Next: Goujun, Li Touten, Kanzeon, and Jiroushin Character Pages

maze_of_spades was kind enough to scan the Saiyuki Gaiden Memoirs booklet that came out with the last chapter of Gaiden over here. Here's the first few pages: "Saiyuki Gaiden" Synopsis and Character Pages for Goku and Konzen. Let's see how often school work allows Soto to post! （ノД｀；；）

People

First half of the last section: Basic Knowledge. My favorite part of the Dictionary, because it has info on all the miscellaneous stuff like the Maten Sutra, Goku's diadem, and beer. X3

First part: Places and Buildings

Next part of the Dictionary: People! Sanzo people, Kougaiji people, Heaven people, Human people, even fake people like the Fake Sanzo Ikkou and the Hayabusa Brothers (the Sanzo Ikkou's fake identities)

Part of another Nouzen Kazura 39 doujinshi courtesy of sarubaby, but this was only an 8-page preview so there's not much time to get into the story before it abruptly stops. Looks like Sanzo's been living with Goku for a while, when Gojyo invites himself over for dinner. Worksafe AU. (f-locked) Downloads here

First part of the dictionary section. Minekura Kazuya defines and explains various terms, people, and places. This is the "Places and Buildings" section.

Again, (parenthesis) and 【fancy brackets】 are part of the actual text, any notes from Soto will be in [square brackets].

Returning to the Nouzenkazura 39 doujinshi sarubaby requested so very long ago (Sorry!!), here's "Cherry BonBon". I'll try to get new, working links to sarubaby's , doujin downloads but I can't promise anything. My connection doesn't like uploading things (T-T) Doujin downloads(f-locked) should work now. Let me know if not.

Warnings: AU, crossdressing!Goku and !Sanzo, non-worksafe scene near the end

Summary: Sanzo and Goku, two highschool boys raised as girls and masquerading as each other's girlfriends, enjoy the fireworks show from the comfort of Sanzo's spacious garden.

These are the short messages to Minekura Sensei from Sanzo, Goku, Gojyo and Hakkai's voice actors, and the one from former assistant Suzuki Jirou, just because his is funny.
