Yes, it’s happening. The great holy pilgrimage through which one is changed forevermore. I’m going to Japan!!
A few updates about what’s going on at the moment:
– I’m swamped with assignment deadlines as the end of semester is nigh
– Exams for me start in around 2 weeks
– I jet off to Japan 2 days after my exams are over
As such, I have no intention of starting the translation of High School DxD Volume 23, even if I do get source material. I won’t be starting further translation of Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha either, I don’t have enough time to make decent progress of Chapter 4. I’ve already started a bit of Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi Volume 7 Chapter 2, and since it isn’t too long, it will probably be done before I head off.
I’ll be spending just over three weeks in Japan, broken down as approximately one week in Hokkaido, one week in Tokyo, and the other week in Osaka and Kyoto (Kansai region), as well as Hiroshima. Unfortunately, it seems like a bit of a low season for conventions and festivals, though the Gion Matsuri does seem to go on for all of July. I’ve got most of my trip planned out generally, but haven’t gotten down to a full day-by-day itinerary yet, so if you’ve got any suggestions for me, let me know in the comments below. Shoutout to Samat and /u/Venom_is_an_ace for giving me some great ideas!
Well Have a Safe and Fun Trip I’ll be Sad waiting for your Return to Translations in between School and Free Time but Enjoy it while you can and Don’t forget to Eat Lots of Melon Pan for me while you are there. I Make it myself @ home from a source of 3 Different Recipes I found for it online but don’t think it even comes close to the Taste of a Fresh Baked One. Normally it’s made with Lemon/Orange Zest to give it the flavor but I add a touch of Honeydew Melon Extract hint’s the Name. Bye.
Ps when do you plan of coming back. not an specific date just a Ballpark month.
I’ll be away almost all of July, so I’ll be back in August.
Thanks have safe and Fun Trip. Wish a Flight from the US to Japan was Cheap I would go myself but the cost of a Round Trip from here is Outrageous nearly 4k for Coach and 11k for 1st class.
enjoy your trip
don’t forget to visit the places in volume 9 (HSDXD) whilst you are in Kyoto 🙂
and remember to enjoy Rias’s Faverate place
Hi, Have fun in the trip,
Btw can u set Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha as priority after DxD?? apparently Volume 10 will have sex scene with Mio in the preview
Onegaiiiii senpai!! volume 10 havent release yet but it is releasing in 2017.
I want to read dxd and also shinmai maou…But dont push yourself 😉 I dont mind the wait. Please dont drop the translation 🙂
Thanks, but not really. I don’t want to skip anything, but Shinmai can sometimes be really tedious because of how wordy it gets which is why I dislike doing it consecutively.
Have fun be safe 😀
Wish you good Luck inn Japan. Cool of you to explore that culture.
when is high school dxd volume 22 going to be posted on baka tuski
I guess it’ll be sometime this month.
Have fun and a nice trip
Do you have the link to the chinese translation of dxd? Cause i wanna read something first during the period.
The Chinese translator hasn’t started V23 yet.
Awesome have fun in japan! Just for the record are you abandoning the translation oh shinmai maou to keiyakusha (testament) or is it just a pause?
No, I don’t think I mentioned the word ‘drop’ or ‘abandon’.
Could you at least put Volume 22 on Baka Tsuki?
It’ll probably be up before I leave.
Good luck on your trip, hope you have a lot of fun.
We will patiently wait for translations to resume when you come back. 🙂 I guess one good thing will be that the chinese DxD source will hopefully be far enough ahead that when you start after you come back that you won’t run out of source material.
Have fun man!!!
Good luck with the exams and… ENJOY JAPAN..
Until the next time.
JAPAN…how i envy you…hahaha have fun/ hope u have amazing trip

and please post some photo’s if your back.
don’t worry about the translations of the novels, and just enjoy the trip
good luck and have a great time
greetings from a nutcase in holland \\(^-^ )
Safe and happy journey my man ✌?
You have a digital camera? If not get one or borrow 1 from a family member or friend and not a cheap one. You gotta take pictures of Mount Fuji, the imperial palace, any of the famous castles and shrines. It would be cool if you posted those on this site, but they don’t have to include you in them, of course you could always do something funny where their are a whole bunch of people in the picture and you are also in it somewhere then check to see if anybody can find you, but if you don’t want us to know what you look like or anything you could be looking away from the camera or have your back to the camera or something. These are just some ideas. Good luck with the exams, mine were finished in the 2nd week of may. Enjoy the trip, have fun, god wish I could go to Japan.
Yep, I’ll be borrowing my sister’s Sony A6000, a great camera. I’m planning on sharing some photos as I go.
Be sure to try and find a maid cafe just for pure lol, I mean you never no Right?
Yeah, definitely trying a maid cafe.
Have fun :). Will you be uploading volume 22 before you leave?
It’ll probably happen.
Have fun and be careful.
While planning for your trip do add your travel time in vehicle too
Have fun on that day my man. XD
Enjoy your three weeks there and give my regards to Samat when you meet him.
