GH Manga translation snippet

And as requested by akinarei, here's the translation for a few pages from vol 7 of the manga for GH. (Most of pg 16~21 end Japanese tankoubon).



Ayako: --They're back

Mai: Wh-what's wrong?

Ayako: Thank goodness you're all right.
Another person's disappeared.

Mai or Bou-san: Again?!

Bou-san or Mai: Who has?

Ayako: Apparently Fukuda-san.

Bou-san: That'd be the young woman with Minami Psychic Investigators, huh?

*****

Bou-san: How old is she?

Ayako: Huh?!
I don't know. Twenty-five, somewhere around there maybe?

Naru: Why do you ask that?

I see...

Ayako: ......You're kidding, right?

Naru: Yasuhara-san,
Mai,
neither of you are to ever be on your own.

*****

Naru: Matsuzaki-san,
to what extent can we trust in your ability?

Ayako: ......What's that supposed to mean?

Naru: This isn't the time for word games.
Mai and Yasuhara-san are both needed. However, this place is dangerous.

To what extent can we rely on you?

Ayako: ......Warding spell level.
You can trust me on that much.

Naru: Understood.
In that case, Matsuzaki-san and Hara-san, the two of you are never to be apart from one another.

You can follow-up on one another, right?

Masako: ...I don't feel safe with Matsuzaki-san.

******

Ayako: Hey!

Naru: Hara-san.

Basically I can't trust anyone outside this group.
We don't have many people to rely on.

If you're also even a minor psychic, you can protect yourself, right?

Masako: ...Yes.

Naru: Yasuhara-san can't protect himself whatsoever.
He needs to be protected by people we can rely on a great deal.

Masako: ...Okay...

Naru: So, Bou-san and John,
The two of you guard Yasuhara-san.

Lin: Wait a moment.
Does that mean I'm to guard Taniyama-san?

******

Naru: That's right.

Lin: In that case, who's to guard you? I believe you can't use warding spells. Am I wrong?

Mai: Th-that's right. What're you gonna do?!

That's right. I'd forgotten,

but Naru's not a psychic,

he's just a paranormal researcher.

Naru: Things'll work out.

Lin: I don't think so! I'm not going to risk having something happen to you.
I will guard Naru.

Takigawa-san gets Yasuhara-san.
Brown-san, please take care of Taniyama-san.

Naru: It'd be hard for Bou-san on his own.

******

Bou-san: Oy, oy, Naru-chan.

Naru: I'm not underestimating you.
It means this place has the potential of being that dangerous.

Lin: In that case, send someone home.
I can't leave you on your own.

If anything were to happen to you, how am I to apologise to the professor?

Mai: ...Professor?

By "professor"...

Most of the anime was quite faithful to the manga except for where they obviously changed things (end of Yuasa HS case with Ubusuna Kei; Silent Christmas), so in that sense, if they dialogue's vastly different while the images are the same...

Thank you!

Thank you, thank you! Grr... stupid Del Ray. They really screwed up some major details. @_@ Why did they have to license Ghost Hunt?

Oh well, enough of my complaining.

Thanks again!

Re: Thank you!

Cheers. Dare I ask what they did? I have no idea when the bookstore will actually stock copies (or when I'll drop by there), so I can't actually flip through and see what it says. >.>

Re: Thank you!

Uh, let's see-- I'll type what I have with the guarding scene--who'll guard who, page 19 where it made no sense.

When you translated the conversation between Naru and Ayako-- that pretty much was the same thing Del Rey had. The part with Masako was pretty much the same, too. So I'll start with her medium comment.

Masako: "Since I'm a medium, I can protect myself."

Naru: "...Good point..." ::I'm assuming this next part is also Naru:: "So, Monk-san and John... You two guard Yasuhara-san. Please be diligent."

Lin: *rising from his seat* "And is it all right if I guard Taniyama-san?"

Naru: (?): "Okay...but..."

Lin: Then who'll guard you..."
And so on.

@_@ You see why I asked. I knew that from what Mai said last manga he didn't hate and could at some point see her as maybe a friend-- if that-- but I didn't think he'd just automatically start protecting Mai all of the sudden. I'm really disappointed with this volume.

Re: Thank you!

Oh yeah, did I go far enough in the translation? That place seemed like a reasonable place to cut things off in terms of who was assigned to whom, which is why I stopped there. ^^;

Re: Thank you!

Yes, thanks a lot, you've no idea how confused I was. I wasn't even sure who in the world was speaking on that page. Normally, I don't have such a hard time telling-- but even now when I look at it I'm still not sure.

Pretty sad.

...by the way, I've been wondering: who's your icon?

Re: Thank you!

Del Rey's screw ups in that scene went farther. They screwed up parts of the rest of the argument between Naru and Lin as well. One of the screw ups was downright funny. And so obvious that anyone should have noticed.

I quote:

Lin: Please at least consider your parents feelings.
Naru: Lin
Lin: Did you ... forget you said you were one of 17 children?

What makes me laugh about that mistrans is the implication that Naru being one of 17 children would somehow make it harder for his parents to lose him than if he was, say, one of two children.

I hope you don't mind if I friended your lj. vampyrichamster pointed the way here and I must admit that I love the Ghost Hunt snippets you post. (I really wish I could read the novels!)

I especially love the snippets that involve Yasuhara... he's such a character. :)

Hi

Yes I do hope you don't mind me friending you too.

I've really got a love for this series and really like the work you are doing on Saiunkoku Monogatari too.

I've watched a few other subs of both shows, but I really do find that I prefer your work.

So thank you very much for taking these shows on ^-^

Ah, question!

Bou-san's name, just out of curiousity, what does the Kanji of Houshou translate too?

The romanji name looks like it would be 'monk' or something, but I'm not sure.

Hmm... It's literally made up of two characters: law/method/way and life/live/raw. I guess it would translate to... "way of life" or "life's true meaning". Something like that. ^^;
