LOL!!

When I first heard of "Pocket Travelers" the first thing that popped into my mind was like, What? A pocket edition of Lucky Star -- like a tiny manga book??

It's different from canon Lucky Star alright; whimsical, but faithfully enough Lucky Star to enjoy the same characters like the manga! I don't know whether the artist and writer are actual KyotoAnimation contributors, but kudos to them for a good read and I hope Chapter 2 isn't far behind!!

Thanks also to the great guys who scanlated this story for zero peso! Thanks a trillion you all! But -- you know what would be so cool? If these manga and doujinshi stories were dubbed with separate audio files -- maybe even with special sound / music effects to spice up your read! So cool!!!

Funny thay you wonder where chapter 2 is. I released it about 10 minutes ago and it should be added and approved soon.

Meanwhile the torrent is on nyaa or tokyotosho.

English trans or raw? (I'll take either tho'!)

Thanks A Trillion!

Grabbed it last night Xeperu, thanks for the good read!!

Seeing Konata standing in Yu-chan's cupped hands soo cute! I wanna Kona doll!!

The arcade game scene with Konata and Kagami acting out as Yu-chan's hands on the sly is just precious, and I dunno, but why does it ring of an (old?) anime I can't remember?

Love the scene when Patty and Hiyori catch a terminally angst Tsukasa laid out in the UFO Catcher dump chute! (and our coward queen trying to get scarce!)

Too bad Konata has to worry about getting crushed by her dad (and maybe more in the very worst way!) instead of getting help from him!

Now my peeves! (hey, I can nit-pick if I'm a fan, right??)...




All this said and done, the really cute "Behind The Scenes At S3" panel made me wonder; asides scanlation and typesetting, have your talents ever given a thought of also creating your own parallel rewrite or redraw of a scene to go with the originals but taking a more logical or sensible dialog than the original translation? For example, in the last panel of CH2_04, instead of Miyuki saying "This is very troubling," she can say; "Well, I do seem to recall Kona-chan mentioning a curse with the figures..." And in CH2_05 she continues; "Maybe there's something to that myth..." and in CH2_06 Konata comments in the last panels, "You're right. See, I was searching for the bouquet that would've completed these figures and satisfied their mystic spirits instead of incurring their wrath, but I couldn't find it." Kagami; "Gee, maybe you just never bought it, ever thought of that, Sherlock?" Miyuki: "Then the solution's obvious!" Konata: "Yea, we go shopping for another!!!' and yada yada...

Sorry for going off like that, but you've done such a great job I just had to add my two cents!

Thanks for all your hard work!

We have plans at S3 to release a manga of our own, we have a script and several talented artists (character and background) on our team. But mainly due to work pressure in the real life this doesn't seem to go anywhere.

As far as a "custom" script goes, I dunno, seems like a bit of a waste of time.

Stay tuned for chapter 3, which will be released as soon as I can get my hands on a raw >_<.

Hi!

I don't mean to make more work for you because I REALLY appreciate what you all do and if I trusted PayPal enough I'd certainly contribute! My example to fill in what felt were gaps and illogical action and dialog in PT-2 just felt that it must pass your minds while scanning and translating that you could likely do a better job of getting the story's lines across to readers (and making more sense and more exciting) than even the authors with a parallel take of your own because you already do a bang-up translation job!

Awaiting Chap 3 and keep up the great work!

We are also waiting for LSPT3 as raws are unavailable and our Japanese translator/scanner cannot be assed to get into a train to Akihabara to buy a CompAce.

So we'll have to wait -_<

I appreciate all you do!

As a favor, I'd just like to know just how much your translator would have to spend for the train round trip and for CompAce, since Konata supposedly does that on LS just to buy a manga!

Thanks and keep up the great work!
