[Scanlation] The World Conference

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

Scanlated the 5 or so pages Himaruya has up of the Conference at the Center of the World manga. According to the site, it's unfinished, but it doesn't look like it's been updated on the site for a long time so this is probably just the "preview" of the Shiny Technicolor version in Hetalia The Book.

In any case, I find strips with a bunch of nation-tans present the most fun. Also, it seems to be a bit more based on modern times rather than WWII, so that's always interesting. |D
As usual, translated by me, edited by konkira.














To be continued (?)

Translator's Notes:
- On the first page, America's "cut out for scale" comment is the actual wording of Himaruya's script, not me just cutting out the translation. XD
- My editor was wondering if Austria's "compromise" comment really made sense over him saying something like Germany was being over-demanding. I'm pretty sure my dictionary indeed said "compromise" for that word, so I think it's meant to show that Austria is even stricter than Germany. Any other translators/Japanese speakers are welcome to put in their opinion.
- Also to any other translators, I'm always happy to offer beta/JP-proofreading/second-opinion-in-general services. It's really not a bother to me and I think QC is really important, so feel free to email any questions or scripts to takakoyaki at hotmail. :D

"Oh, you wanna go?! Bring it!!"

Best damn line. XD

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

Translating those two is always so much fun. XD

Off topic: LOL THAT ICON. ♥

[il-mare-luccica.livejournal.com]

XDDD I can imagine that it would be fun. They remind me of all the other kids at school back in Malaysia. LOL

I'm glad that you like the icon. ^_^

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

LOL yeah, they're just like kids fighting sometimes. XD

Twilight anti-fandom makes me so happy inside.

[il-mare-luccica.livejournal.com]

I know. XD It makes me even happier when a little turd picks a fight with me. =))))

I love China too. I think they're all too mean to him. ;____;

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, poor China getting kicked around and ignored. Nobody wants his food! Except for Korea if it's free.

[il-mare-luccica.livejournal.com]

XD That's more of a Chinese sentiment, though. Was that Korea, though? O_o I could have sworn it was South Italy. XD I'm a little new to Hetalia so I can't distinguish characters that well. LOL

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

It's definitely Korea. (http://community.livejournal.com/hetalia/1688.html#cutid2) Romano (Southern Italy) appears with his brother on the last page.

[il-mare-luccica.livejournal.com]

They both have the curl in their hair... -____- I guess the Italy brothers have fringes, though, and Korea's hair is kinda smoothed back. XD

[konkira.livejournal.com]

Korea's hair thing is more like a long loop - and it sometimes has his soul inside it (usually a little face). Hetalia Hair Things are srs bzns, someone needs to put together a chart or something XD

This line's up there with ''Take this! BRITANNIA SWORD!'
Oh lord XDDD

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

Those are definitely my two favorite lines. I WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW I WANTED TO TRANSLATE IT FOR DAYS. |D

Do you have the link to the comic your icon is made from? I nearly died of laughter when I read it and now I've lost the link!

[il-mare-luccica.livejournal.com]

I don't actually have the link to the picture, but I think it's somewhere on my Photobucket.

[rainy-takako.livejournal.com]

There's another page making fun of the different types of fans too, if I recall. Amazing stuff 8D

[sushigal007.livejournal.com]

YES! THANK YOU!!!
It's the second frame that cracks me up every time. "Let's frolic!" Thank you!

EDIT: Aaaand now I know the name of the comic, I've found them both on dA.
