The Translation of the Akuryou Series

[touchturnfly]

Ghost Hunt is a novel that was originally called the "Akuryou series". It was released in 1989-1994. The manga is based on the Akuryou series and the anime is in turn based on the manga. As a sequel to the Akuryou series, Ono Fuyumi wrote two additional books that are together called Akumu no Sumu ie under a different label White Hearts. This carried "Ghost Hunt" as a series title for the first time. This is the story that is currently being adapted into a manga. The manga and anime were also titled "Ghost Hunt" and this is how the series is more popularly known as abroad.

The Akuryou series is/was (partially) translated by various people on baka-tsuki.org. To my knowledge, some of it was done by using Chinese translations. Akumu no sumu ie is translated directly from Japanese to English by me.

I just find your blog and I'm dying from happiness .. I mean ghost hunt is like my most favorite anime EVER and the novel too .. I was dreaming of a complete translation of it .. you don't know what does it mean to me that I find you translating this .. I wish I could express my emotion in other way that words but I can't offer anything T^T .. anyway I want to make understand something fully .. your gonna translate Akumu no sumu ie first right ?? and after that your gonna go and translate the Akuryou series from the start and with the rewritten version from the beginning and not the version that Baka-tsuki do ... sorry for the long comment it just I'm supper happy and I want to make sure since I feel like I'm dreaming - and I still think I am -
