Hehehehe the stuff that was in the last box ^^

[rachel_riecheru]

Hi guys I finally received my final box and now i have some saiyuki goodies to share with you.

These are images from some random manga magazines i got (somehow related to Zerosum) that i got because they had a picture from saiyuki on them.

1. Of them had some sketches of the ikkoku and gaiden boys i had never seen before.

2. On of them had two comic strips that i had also never seen. (I am almost 100% sure they are not drawn by Minekura-sensie but they are funny.)

3. A chapter that i've never seen before about Homura and Goku.

Finally if anyone is able to let me know how to put in a request to get the sketches/strips or manga chapter please let me know. Id love to know what they say ^^


P.S i applogies for the shitty scans my scanner is terrible and one of the books got damaged in the post --**

Wow, thanks for sharing these! They're very cool--it's a thrill to see them! ♥

[yaminokaitou.livejournal.com]

Nice. If they were a little bigger I might be able to tell what's going on, but it's great to see them, nonetheless. Thanks for sharing!

[rachel-reicheru.livejournal.com]

here is a link to the file sizes without scalling. (they were too big otherwise) :P

If your able to translate it that would be beyond wonderful! :D

semi-translations

[yaminokaitou.livejournal.com]

Here's my effort. Some of the translations are really choppy sounding and I couldn't translate all of it because some of the kanji got smudged in the scanning process, but here goes. Hopefully you can find a better translations of it soon...

-------I was loved by the light
Who named me?
But all I know of that love is that it was burned to pieces
By Homura's hands
I just
wanted to receive that last bit of hope.

image 114
Show me that proud man
That brightness only lasting for an instance
What is he pursuing,
What was he loved by---------
Minekura Kazuya draws out
Homura's story.

image 116
----I don't need such a thing as a god.

Shien: ....Smoking is prohibited on the Lord's grounds,
Zenon.

Zenon: ...Haha.
The army general I know would be be calmly taking a puff here.
...Moreover

image 117
Zenon: (cant read first line)
Just who do you think is going to threaten us now? ----Right,
Homura?

Homura: Yeah. Just don't throw it in the remains of the fire.
It would be a regrettable for it all to get burnt.

Shien: ...What do you plan on doing now?

image 118

Homura: ...I'm going to the lower world.

Zenon: The lower world?

Homura: My plan is to reveal how incompetent the proud, haughty gods are.
And then
build a godless utopia.
...I have heard that I have brethren in the lower world now.
500 hundred years ago, the gods were killed and sealed just like now.
They had heretic souls just like mine....
Son Goku
I want to try meeting him.

Zenon: ....If that's what you want to do
then it might not be so bad to tag along.

This meeting would changed everything.

Goku: Who the hell are you!!?

image 119
Homura: I'm Homura,
A man who has abandoned God.

Goku: Homura...?

Homura: [thoughts] He wears the same golden eyes as me.
That light which has just become stained and powerful
----this is
jealousy.
Was I the one being haughty?
I wanted to tell those clinging to God that there is no god
But people had realized it long ago.
They believe that there is nothing to lose.
So then, Shien, Zenon---- What is this feeling of loss when I lost you?

image 20
Homura: ---Yes
I see
Everything was here, wasn't it.

sorry that was so long...

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!! thats was awesome!!! :D you ROCK!!!

:) really very much appricate that even with my dodgy scan hehe XD

again thanks!!! ^^

Re: semi-translations

[yaminokaitou.livejournal.com]

No problem. I need the practice. ^_^

Re: semi-translations

[rachel-reicheru.livejournal.com]

lol in that case any idea what the others say, the sketches and the comics?

Re: semi-translations

[kispexi2.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that's fascinating. Thanks very much.

I'm seeing strong Homura/Ukoku parallels now ...

Re: semi-translations

[yaminokaitou.livejournal.com]

Urgh. Sorry. Messed up on the first line. Should be "yearning for the light" instead of "loved by the light". Saiyuki is too confusing.

Also....
What was he pursuing, What was he yearning for

[ibr-remote.livejournal.com]

wow that's a pile of loot all right ! Heheh !

Enjoy

[rachel-reicheru.livejournal.com]

so has anyone actually read that chapter/ known it exsisted? (cause i certainly didnt before i found it)

[inque.livejournal.com]

I remember a looooong time ago it was on a site that had saiyuki scans, but I haven't seen that site for years. It was nice to see the homura chapter again! :) I dont think it's ever been published though :o


Thank you so much for the scans!

[rachel-reicheru.livejournal.com]

well its definatly been published in japan :P Cause i brought it but i haven't seen it in any of the mangas and apart from the newly released Blast 1 there isn't any i dont have.

If you see the scanlation please let me know ^^

[yaminokaitou.livejournal.com]

It might have been published in the magazine that Saiyuki runs in, but it's doubtful that it would have been published in book form, unless they added it in as an extra in one of the normal volumes.

[rachel-reicheru.livejournal.com]

hmmm your right, however remember that little preview for the Saiyuki Premium OVAs that was in one of the gensomiaden Manga.

It's weird thou, i brought about hmmm 5 of these books right, one just had an add for saiyuki on the back and nothing else, another one had a picture of tenpou and kenren in very causal clothing. :P Tenpous in a hawaiin shirt hehe XD and then the other 3 (above) i still wonder what they are.

[zvaize.livejournal.com]

Scanlated version can be found here (http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/f106/t41590-saiyuki-homura-shien-zenon.html) on Aarinfantasy. ^^
Thank you for sharing all this nice stuff! ^o^

[veronicacode.livejournal.com]

Thank you for sharing!^^
About the "Homura's story" it was published twice.
The first time, long time ago, in the magazine called "G-Fantasy". This magazine (by Enix) was the first magazine in which Saiyuki was serialized before ZeroSum. In G-Fantasy the first three pages were coloured. Then it has been published on the first "KozeroSum", the black one with Yamazaki (from Honey Comb) on the cover.

[clarisajeane.livejournal.com]

thanks for sharing the, here's the scanlated version of the Homura (http://www.mangafox.com/manga/saiyuki_gaiden/v02/c000/) thing if you havent found it yet...

[jinxaire.livejournal.com]

Really cool, thanks for sharing! I especially like the images where they're holding up signs. Are those supposed to be signatures or are they phrases?

[rachel-reicheru.livejournal.com]

im honestly not sure :< im trying to see if anyone knows at the moment, :P will post further news when i have it :P i like the one with tenpou who he looks so naturally devious hiding behind his sign.

[pandawolf.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[kispexi2.livejournal.com]

Thanks for sharing these. I've been wondering what the manga canon Homura was like.

[arcticcross.livejournal.com]

Ah, those are cool! I'd really like to know what's written on the signs they're holding up, too.

[rachel-reicheru.livejournal.com]

hmmm me too but im not sure :<

if i find out thou ill let you know :>

[attiqah-gensui.livejournal.com]

Hi, my friend helped me sort of translate the signs one.

hakkai: ??? *she can't read/understand*
gojyo: returning back in the morning
goku: i'm hungryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
sanzo: sleepy

tenpou: *something like 'i won a case'* legal-ish thing. *she said it is something lawyers put up after winning a legal battle*
konzen: hope.

I squeed in sadness at Konzen's sign. :(

[rachel-reicheru.livejournal.com]

AH! Thanks so much for getting it translated! :D i really appricate it. It is really sad that Konzen is saying hope :'< but i love those sketches. :P Pity your friend didn't know what hakkai was saying. But i casn take an accurate guess based off the other ones. :)

Thanks Agaian!
