hue i had my brother read it just to check the flow/ style in English as a stand-alone text. since he is not a Japanese speaker at all, I figured that would be ok
also I checked with my office - dont worry about getting in trouble for receiving money. It's not a sure thing so they were like "well then I couldn't play the lottery either by that logic".
I feel slightly foolish but ITSYIOU AMSYIM
going to submit it now

Nurkiras I have a question The site says you get digital receipt of the submission, but I haven't...but the way it was phrased made it unclear as to when you'd get it (like, when you submit? when the deadline arrives?) I was just wondering whether you got an email after submission, so I can decide if I need to chase up and/or resubmit mine?

Nope no word from them yet
I assume they are just stunned by the unparalleled excellence of our work and are trying to figure out how to split out prize money

I definitely overestimated how much I would be in the mood to do HONYAK in my free time after doing HONYAK all day at work.

I got pretty far into translating it.... and then like a dummy pulled my USB memory card out before hitting save and lost the entire file

Oooh

I feel like the competition for this one will be much stronger, though.

I'll probably decide after reading all of the options, but I'mma probably go with the cute dog on a pilgrimage in the Edo period.

I tried to read the manga on the site but it wasn't working and only showed the first two-page spread.
Is it working for everyone else?
Maybe I could just buy the manga I want to translate from Amazon.
(I assume these are real manga that have already been published in Japanese, is that correct?)

I worked on Flying Gramps at work, but I think opening a giant spread of manga might be pushing how much I'm obviously slacking
I'll check when I go home hue

So I bought ニューヨークニューヨーク from amazon (just 300 yen) and it'll be here tomorrow.
I already read the whole section to be translated on the site...but idk how they expect us to translate it with just that to go on and no way to download it.
A PDF of the whole thing would be best, but with that not being an option I figured having the physical manga would be better than using the flash manga reader on the site.
Cool story, Mark.
Maybe I will start this weekend. I'm really dreading having to translate all the onomatopoeia and side comments....the main dialogue seems pretty easy though.
