Hi all
For those who don’t know, Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan has been licensed (now it has an official translation in English) and to avoid any issues, I decided to delete all the content and I won’t continue translating the series.
You can find the official release >>here<<
I’ll be looking for another series to translate, my main focus is harem/action series. Do you want to submit one? Go to my discord and suggest one following what’s required there.
Great, so now we just have to wait 5 or so years for the official translation to catch up to where we left off.
Still, better getting licensed than DMCA’d altogether (like DxD).
Any chance of taking up “Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha”? Last I checked, the guy who took it over did one single chapter and I’ve been dying to see what happens after the anime.
Or perhaps “Absolute Duo”? That hasn’t been touched in a long time.

Shinmai is already being translated by a team though I think they only release chapters for their subscribers (pay wall) and a volume to public once it’s completed.
About Absolute Duo, that series is on permanent hiatus (I believe 3 years by now) and no news if it will be resumed :c and I don’t translate series on hiatus unfortunately.

In regards to Absolute Duo, according to what I had heard, it seems that its 12th volume will be released on 3/25/2020. The source for this news is the series 12th volume’s Amazon page which I provided a link below. Therefore, it would be great if you choose to translate the series because it is an excellent light novel and one of the best in its genre.

Otherwise, perhaps you can consider translating Machine Doll Wa Kizutsukanai? It is also a great light novel as well so you might want to consider translating it.

Thank you for your translation of Rakudai for as long as it lasted. It managed to progress to the series beyond what most have already read.
My only regret is that it was Sol Press, and with their small team ansc schedule, I feel it will be 2027 before we reach the same chapters (the cynic that I am).
But though this series ends as a translation, thank you for your continued work of Hundred (nearly there!!) and World Break (which I am really beginning to love now that it is past the anime.”

What an entitled opinion from what’s probably a leecher on the Internet. No one has forced Taekan to translate this, and you could even say they have gotten remuneration for them doing it. You are probably just salty because you can’t read it for free anymore. But oh well, you are just going to pirate it anyway so there’s nothing gained or lost for the publisher.

think what you want, you have a right to it. I know that nobody forced him to do it and that it did not have to translate and that it was as a reward.I just regret that he spends his free time doing anything else. thats all.If your intention is just to attack people with words over the Internet, you’re really pathetic loser

I think I probably know what killed your enthusiasm but I think it’s difficoult to find a translator for a so old series š New translators only want new series and nobody pick abandoned ones. So for this reason…I suggest Unbrakable machine doll, i suggest Madan no ou to vanadis too (only 4 volumes left but I don’t know if setsuna86 it’s working on it or not…only a part of a volume in an year it’s proving my patience š ).
LikeLike
The contenders are all interesting, it will be hard to decide to be honest D::

Madan would be nice to see finished. Don’t wanna say anything negative about setsuna because of all the translations that did get done for a while there (and no, not accusing of saying anything wrong). But definitely feelin ya about the current wait time. The suggestion above for Asobi Ni is good too.
Anyway, if I was gonna suggest a title it would probably be Kenshin no Keishousha. It’s complete with 12 volumes, but translator quit after vol 2 and it hasn’t been touched in 4 years. It’s haremy, got action with some comedy…not sure I’d say lewd, but ecchi. Gotta laugh at what gets these girls heated up and how they show it.
Nnnn…if I was really gonna hope for a series to show up somewhere (and no, no wayyy do I think it could be here) it would be Papa no Iu Koto o Kikinasai! (Listen To Me, Girls. I am Your Father!). Complete with 18 volumes, but we got 3 (incomplete at that) before it was dumped and then DMCA’d a couple years later (UUGGHHAAAAH!!) Doubt anyone will even try to touch it nowadays.
Ahh well, I said my piece, gave my little rant, so time to quit boring everyone hehe. Major mondo thanks for all you’ve given us Taekan, and all that you’ll still be giving us in the future

First of all, thanks for all the hard work translating Rakudai. It wasn’t for long but it was great reading your translation of it. Will still be around for Seiken and the last few chapter of Hundred and seeing what new series you bring to the table
Sad this translation will stop, although is better knowing that it was licensed instead of DMCA
I always prefer fan translations because they don’t fully convert the work to another language.
those little things like using suffix (chan, kun, san, sama, etc) or how they end their phrases (su, gozaru, nano, desu, etc) that help visualize who is talking and showing a bit of their personality and relationship with other when speaking are erased in most official translations.
It’s also a sad thing for all the work the fan translators did disappears like it was never done
Now to wait for the official ones to catch up and continue Rakudai series!
