[Official Site] Russia!

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

Himaruya's updated his blog yet again, this time with an ecstatic looking Russia. Partial translation thanks to emokoi(and her handy-dandy kanji dictionary!)

Blog Title: 遅くなってしまってすいません (Sorry I'm late)


ロシアさんがロシアさんすぎる (Russia is too Russia-like)


遅くなってしまってすいません！ (Sorry I'm late!)
早く文章まとめますね。


_{And, if anyone's interested, I made a version with no text, including without the text at the bottom for when I did the scanlation. . . .}

Aww! I wonder what he's saying~!

[chulchinmae.livejournal.com]

Damn woman, fast! Thanks for posting. <3

Ooohh, that's a fancy font that Himaruya is using in the bottom right corner. *-* I wonder what's going on~.

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

No problem! ♥ A-and it wasn't really very fast. It seems that it's been posted for an hour already. I just felt the need to check(as usual, which I do a few times a day), and that was there. I have notifs for everything that comes in on, so I knew whether or not to post it.

Ooh, it is! /wonders what font to use for scanlating it. . . . Well, since it says "Russia" I guess he's reintroducing everyone, or something? Then again, he's full of surprises.

[chulchinmae.livejournal.com]

Huh. Normally, I'm on the ball with Himaruya's updates. I guess I have other worries on my mind at the moment. Oh well, maybe it was fast for me because I was checking the last update for the umpteenth time and saw this all of a sudden. You are fast for moi. <3 Thanks again.

Oooh! I recommend WildWords, which has sort of become customary US typesetting font for Japanese inspired comics, since Viz uses it. When I had time for scanlations, that was what I used. If you are unsure how to get it, give me a pm. (:

With how vague the picture is, I'm not going to assume anything. xD;

Aaand somehow I never sent this reply. It just sat there amongst my tabs. Weird.

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't actually know if the clock on the posts is accurate, so, really, it may have been more recent, since it was only off by an hour(and I just check and saw by chance.) ♥ It's really no problem.

Ooh~ I found it, luckily. Now I have a few fonts for this sort of thing! \o/

XD; We'll see in the next volume, since that's what all of these comics and things are for, I think(besides the scrapped ones). He did say he was going to start working on it or something of that sort.

[twyxted-mind.livejournal.com]

Couldn't help but notice that his blog title is "Sorry I'm Late".

Does this mean he's apologizing for HST? *shot*

And aww, isn't Russia cute here?

[nupinoop296.livejournal.com]

"Does this mean he's apologizing for HST?"
I wish. :/ XD

[larosabelle.livejournal.com]

Russia's ecstatic? We're all going to die!

Awww, isn't he just the cutest?

so basically what he's saying is...

[emokoi.livejournal.com]

Eh? (what do you mean by) retreat?
Let's keep up the hard work till every single one of 'ems down! (ehe)

and underneath the comments is:
russia is too russia-like.

i quickly translated it in my head with the help of my handy dandy kanji dictionary into russia-speak... hope that's okay C:

Re: so basically what he's saying is...

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

Oh~ That's wonderful! Thank you! Luckily, I just finished cleaning up the picture. . . . Do you know what the bit of text on the bottom right of the picture is, though? That way I can fully scanlate it.

Re: so basically what he&#39;s saying is...

[emokoi.livejournal.com]

hm, if you mean まさにロシア then its like "as usual, russia" or something of the sort.
C:

Re: so basically what he's saying is...

[emokoi.livejournal.com]

actually, teh bit about retreating is more like "eh? let's retreat?"

Re: so basically what he's saying is...

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

So would "Typical, Russia" and "Eh? We should retreat?" work, you think? /just needs a second opinion

Also, isn't that last hiragana "ne" and not "he?"

Re: so basically what he's saying is...

[emokoi.livejournal.com]

yeah. it is "ne", i thought his typical "ehe" would work as well.

Re: so basically what he's saying is...

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. /didn't think of "ene" is laughing, for some reason. Yeah, that works better. I'll scanlate and update the post now! Thanks for your help!

Re: so basically what he's saying is...

[emokoi.livejournal.com]

well, the last "line" is the plural version of "let's give it our best" and ends with a "ne" but i always think of a small chuckle is more "englishified" than using "ne" really is the same as like, using ~san versus mr/ms.~.
it would be more correct to use "ne" at the end, "ehe" is just a translation liberty i took, you don't have to use it if you don't want to XP

Re: so basically what he's saying is...

[emokoi.livejournal.com]

/rant sorry for ranting .____.

Re: so basically what he's saying is...

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

I'm not saying it was wrong! I'm fine with it, after all, I don't know Japanese well enough to do any of this. Besides, I already did it, so there's no point in changing it, and giggling at the end is very Russia-like(and since it was a statement/exclamation, "eh"/"huh" wouldn't be right.) Thank you, again! ♥

Re: so basically what he&#39;s saying is...

[emokoi.livejournal.com]

no problem! i'm so sorry i got on a mini-rant... japanese being translated is a tad tricky sometimes X3
i'm glad i got to help <3

Re: so basically what he&#39;s saying is...

[tarafishes.livejournal.com]

I understand. Sorry if I sounded angry. And it wasn't much of a rant, just an explanation!
♥~

Re: so basically what he&amp;#39;s saying is...

[emokoi.livejournal.com]

i was afraid i sounded too angry too ;____;

[curlee1029.livejournal.com]

Russia looks pretty cute here!

[gloomykuma.livejournal.com]

D'awww, Russia, why so cute~?

[hotaru13.livejournal.com]

Oh, Russia, why so Russia-ish? <3

[mad-kitty12.livejournal.com]

Have anyone noticed Russia's bruised fingers? ;o;

[fma029812.livejournal.com]

Maybe... maybe it's blood?

[mad-kitty12.livejournal.com]

you mean blood of his enemies? /otl
IDK, just seeing the translation and the idea of Russia and his comrades working hard on something just took my mind instead of him battling :{

[fma029812.livejournal.com]

That is a very good point. I love Russia, haha gotta stop jumping to conclusions!

[maybebaby83.livejournal.com]

yay more russia! i wonder who he's talking to...

[ceylon-tae.livejournal.com]

...or about.

[ceylon-tae.livejournal.com]

Yeah!
Yours is... equally interesting and kind of unsettling. 83

[ceylon-tae.livejournal.com]

(I mean that in a good way - this game art looks amazing!)

[bei-kun.livejournal.com]

...retreat? As in, war? Troops retreating?

/IS PRAYING FOR AN ACTUAL HISTORY BASED STRIP.

I can't remember the last time there was a historic/war based strip, and I really miss them...

[chulchinmae.livejournal.com]

Volume... 3? D: But no, in all seriouness, I get what you mean. I really do miss some of the original archives like war comics... It would be nice to get another one.

[rosetteroulette.livejournal.com]

I kinda hope this too.

[nagirinara.livejournal.com]

.... GDI, Russia, what did you do now?!

[mertseguer.livejournal.com]

I don't see anyone mentioning it but this blog has been updated with a few text less tomato gang comics...

[kaiju-z.livejournal.com]

Because killing people is cute as long as you smile~

Oh Russia = u =

[gilbolove.livejournal.com]

I personally read the phrase as "Eh? You're saying we should retreat? Let's fight until the last man!" meaning Russia would rather have all of his own men go down fighting than retreat. Maybe someone else can elaborate which is correct...?

[jaunebleu.livejournal.com]

Sadly, this seems to be what happens to the Russian army...it's a good thing they've got so many men or Russia-san would be going bye-bye!
