Hello zx
I wish you a very happy new year 🙂
And same to everyone
Happy New year zxzxzx and everyone I hope that this year brings you joy and happiness ?????
High School DxD V23 Life.2 (Part 4 of 4): Translation will resume in January.
Please specify “January” which year, given recent developments, it can’t refer to 2018.
Hi zxzxzx,
I saw your post in jcafe where you have posted the scans of V21 of High school DxD. But I can’t download it as the link doesn’t work. Can you tell me what’s the alternative to get the scan?
I’m interested because I want to see if my Japanese is good enough to read my favorite light novel. If it’s satisfactory, I may decide to help in translation. 🙂
He’s using Chinese translation.
Yes. But he posted a japanese raw in jcafe. I’m talking about that one.
jCafe seems to be down for me at the moment so I’ll update the link when it’s back up. In the meantime, I’ve reuploaded the scan I posted here.
Thanks a lot!
why you ask for raw of volume 21? it’s already translated, even colume22 been translated.
maybe you should be asking for volume 23 or 24 instead. XD. if you want help translating.
He needs a volume thats been translated so he can compare what he gets, to whats translated and test his japanese. Its a good test considering DxD has some of the best tls even when its being tled from chinese.
Can we expect DxD V23 translation next year?
…anyways thanks for your work till now
I updated this post just earlier. Translation will resume in January.
Merry christmas….zxzxzx thank you for your hard work…!!!
Thank you, hope you had a lovely Christmas as well 🙂
Good luck and have fun!
I hope your exams are going well
good luck on them all and I hope that thay finish soon
Thanks Leigh, I think they should be alright. I’m actually on a road trip in NZ now with my mate as a post-exam holiday.
good for you..
have a nice relaxing trip and de-stress
Do well on your exams & have a good break. 🙂
Can we expect Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi V7 Chapter 4 soon. After your exam and trip Or at least this year?
All the best for your Exams…..
Probably not. When I come back I’ll probably try to work on DxD.
For those who are waiting for season 4 I read in one of the afterwards that the anime seasons 1 2 and 3 were more focused on rias they were a trial run don’t believe me look for yourself it is in there look thoroughly for it
I don’t know what you’re reading, but I know for sure that it’s not DxD.
It is your just not paying attention I look and saw it myself you are not reading are you come back when you read the afterwards in 13 and 14
Season 1 was released before volume 12 was released and season 2 was confirmed in the afterwords of volume 14, and season 3? It was way later than that. Who’s not paying attention? And where did it state that season 1, 2 and 3 were focused on Rias? Tell me. Only season 1 was focused on Rias because that was her volume being adapted. You read it back carefully.
In volume 3 issei doesn’t fight and rias and issei don’t hold hands he wasn’t near her and what was season 3 about all 3 seasons were focused on her the light novel isn’t if it was focused on her then why is aisa more compatible with him then her I read 13 and 14 volumes afterwards I looked more than once
Oh my god, now you’re saying stuffs outside of afterwords. I thought that we’re only focusing on afterwords though. Ln volume 3, the change was so minor and you want to count that?! That small thing?! There are a lot of more important things that they change but you focus on that?! Come on man, you gotta know when to give up. And season 3 was a fucked up by TNK. It was not the author’s fault. He got nothing to do with Issei and Rias in season 3. There’s nothing else for you to say. Just give up. You can count season 3 as does not exist since it was a clusterfuck.
Just so I don’t forget you don’t know how stubborn I am I can go on even if I am dead but I won’t so I will not give up if you are prepared for hell
You know that I can just end the conversation here. Even if you reply after this, stating your argument or whatsoever, I can just ignore it. Like seriously, why are we even having this conversation. Just because you don’t wanna give up making my life hell. Bla bla bla. Dude, this is the fucking internet. You don’t even know who I am. Even if I die tomorrow, you won’t even know. You wanna make my life hell, go on. See if I care. There are a lot more hellish problem in the real world and you wanna fight just because of this?! You think that you’re the only one who’s stubborn. Wow. That’s so great. As if there’s only a single fucking guy in the world who’s stubborn. Your parents must be proud. Wow. Guys give this guy a noble prize he deserves it. I don’t fucking care. If you don’t want to accept the truth and still want to argue, fine, go on but the truth is still out there and people know what’s right and what’s wrong.
Just wondering what is right from wrong what is the truth this world only has lies is it wrong to look for the truth is someone not supposed to believe the author sorry but it is wrong if this is the world we live in it is too dark this world only his two things truth and ideals and if I said anything to a fend you I am sorry I don’t have a dad and I have no social skills I just wanted to say that it is not tnk or the author’s fault if I can say I am wrong will you be happy I don’t want any more lies lying is worst than death for me so sorry
Can we end peacefully I just want to believe in the author if I can’t do that then what can I do if you can help me with that I can be happy with that answer
Good luck on the exams and have a nice trip sensei !
Best of luck for your exams and have a safe trip zxzxzx! 🙂
Just something I realized issei and le fay being together is going to be tough not because of her or her bother is because they’re family they have two of his weakness knight and bishop
la fay doesn;t become need to become a devil but she does for sure become his..
she is his contracted magic user… at the moment it’s a tempory 5 year pact but it can be renewed
arther has also told issei to take care of la fay as well
it’s possible that after the 5 year pact a lifetime pact can be made with her body being the price.
a child between la fay and issei does appear in HS DxD EX the only one who didn;t have a child appear is kuino (fox princess) however it may be because any child was too young also there is nothing to say he didn’t have more than 1 child with any of them either.
also there is no reason la fay can’t be made a pawn (1-8 pieses) or even a queen as issei still has use of those pieces he also has 1 rook and 1 knight
I agree with you but if you know the story of their family they won’t make it easy Arthur left for a reason and he wants her to go back home she not like him he wouldn’thave left if they were not a problem
Shinmai is getting a new ova everyone!!!
https://twitter.com/pKjd/status/923572917119488000
That’s awesome.
For the release of the 11th volume ?
Just a question how strong will issei be if ravel trained him he hasn’t mastered any of is abilities or forms
I wait for the Epilogue of Shinmai 😀 thanks!!!
Also i wait for Chinese TL for Highschool DXD 🙁
The volume 24 is near… The Shinmai volume 8, 9, 10 and 11 would be top.
Great work!!!
High school DxD season 4 is coming out 2018 and is called hero.
Hopefully,they will be followings the novel every step since the trailer indicate so .
Will u translate highschool dxd dx.3 ?
Daniel-yang is already translating Dx3.
You are a walking Wikipedia man???
Just a question to see who could get it right with all of the girls who are with issei now how many of the girls are devil, angel, fallen angel or other answer comes after who is right
7 devils 2 x pure blood
2x human rebirth
1x valkury rebirth
1x nekomata rebirth
1x fallen angel hybred
1 angel 1x human reincarnation
1 vampire 1x pure blood
that’s them all too date
I am not counting karoka or la fay as yet as there story to date has been unclear (though the future is known)
karoka has been more playful messing with ise and koneko but has made no direct moves IMO
as for la fay there is no development
I have counted how thay live now as opposed to what thay were arkino for example is a devil (lives as rias Queen) not as a fallen angel.
I think Kuroka and Le Fay would technically be counted based on the question. Also, you forgot about Kunou. She’s a Youkai.
The answer is 12 koneko and her sister are youkai so that is 8 devils 2 who were human 1 valkury 1 half fallen angel 2 pure blood devils and for angel 1 former human and 1 pure blood vampire and 1 human and 1 pure youkai since the sisters are devil and youkai
Koneko and kuroka Were both youkai, but they’ve been reborn as devils, just as rossweisse Was a Valkyrie, and has been reborn as a devil.
That’s my understanding, anyway
Who is the human?
Le Fay.
Still holding out that Le Fay also has a 10,000+ year lifespan like every other harem member due to her being a magician or something along those lines. Her pendragon bloodline maybe could also have an impact. I think it would suck if she was just human and wouldn’t live as long. Guess at that point she joins the peerage for the longevity perks haha. She hasn’t gotten much development yet so I hope we see more of her in the future.
It’s confirmed that volume 25 will be Rossweisse. I expect volume 26 will be Le Fay.
That’d be nice. Although I think Ravel may also get a volume too so that could be then also. Unless they all sort of count as hers given how important she’s become haha
Indeed. Lol
I guess Cao and Crom deserve a seperate volume too….You what exactly cao did in between and that
I deliberately didn;t count Kunou as there is too little development
also no chile between them appeared in EX , that doesn;t mean thay don’t have one. concidering her age there is time for something to happen to take her away from issei however unlikely that may be
that’s the reason I didn;t include her.
also the question I took to mean presently. and those without development there is too mauh left for things to happen
To those that come to this blog, DxD Volume 24 and Slashdog Volume 1 will be released on November 24.
A big update for tomorrow on The Testament of Sister New Devil LN huh
just some trivia to kill the time for the chinise TL to upload more stuff
in V22 Ise became engaged twice in the one volume.
now the question, to whom was Ise engaged to first?
i’ll post the answer soon let see who gets it right :p
Rias of course
it was a trick question but the answer might supprise you.
Koneko was actually the first to propose to ise in which ise acknowledged her feelings and axcetped when her height and bust gets bigger.
you might think asia with her “let stay together forever” however ise at first thought of her more as someone to protect.
so from volume 1 or present ise is now engaged to 3 people 🙂
Issei has been Engaged to Rias since volume 2 though, not that he ever realized that fact.
yes but if the feelings are not known then it’s not real. same as asia.
ise thinks rias treats him like a PET in the beginning.
Correction my dear friend he got engaged to her in volume 8 when he went through the test of the gremory family… Remember Satan rangers
@anon
What do you call it when you break into an engagement party and run off with the bride to be? And then everyone starts treating you as part of her family?
again ise was not aware of the goings on all this time
the young master thing for example
ise could never have axcepted there feeling for real until he deal with his past (first girlfriend blues)
once that was done he declarsed his love to rias and thay started dateing buit not engaged as far as he was aware.
koneko was the first.
And your point is? Your question was who he got engaged to first and Rias happened first no ifs ands or buts about it. Whether or not he ever realized what his actions meant doesnt matter.
Koneko is best girl anyway.
hmm…. i see, thanks zxzxzx senpai. i will be patient until then and thank you again for answering my questions you too Read DxD senpai thank you. and sorry if there are my words that make you offended or disturbed im truly sorry
Can you translate the LNs from japanese to english?
If he could he would, hes a chinese TL.
The better question is if we can contact Code Zero and ask him to translate backwards from the afterword and see if there are any major errors in the chinese TL, but he probably stopped for a reason.
is the chinese translations late? zxzxzx senpai said “on hold as i’ve already caught up the chinese TL” what does that mean?
No, if I did, there would to too many errors. I’m only comfortable with Chinese to English at the moment. It’s already taken me years to be able to do this with Chinese, so it’ll probably be several (or many) more years before I feel like I can do the same for Japanese.
no its okay with the current chinese TL to english, but are the chinese translation late? what do you mean zxzxzx senpai by saying “on hold as i’ve already caught up to chinese TL” I’m sorry im really not good with english
Its exactly that, the Japanese-Chinese Translations are only as far as ZX right now, seems like they have a bit of an issue themselves.
Basically what ‘Read DxD’ said. I have to wait for the Japanese to Chinese translation so that I can translate to English. Previously, I would’ve had trouble keeping up with them, but lately they’ve slowed down. So I keep an eye out for their releases every few days and usually catch up within a week.
do you know why they slow down? because they slowed dow n to almost a great extent, you know? in november vol.24 is about to release, meanwhile the vol.23 chinese TL is still in life 2.
Nope, no reason given, and no reason for them to. After all, they’re just a fan-translator like me. Not being up to date with the latest Japanese volume doesn’t bother me, and it probably doesn’t bother them either.
Will you be doing Seikoku after Shinmai Maou?
Yes, I plan to do Seikoku V7 after Shinmai V7.
please continue the highschool dxd light novel ive been dying to read it more but please continue it but dont rush it too, i will appriciate if you continue, good luck zxzxzx you are the best ??
Now the wait on High School DxD to get more progress on the people who does the Chinese TL
Back again….season 4 anime ? Next slash dog ? Any updates ??
Season 4 info is coming on October 21st and Slashdog is releasing on November alongside Volume 24.
Man how do you get this inside info???? I mean when whenever I Google highschool dxd it shows coming soon..same for slash dog…
Use Ishibumi’s twitter. XD
Following the DxD reddit is a great way. The people on there find a lot of accurate information. Also, keeping up with Ishibumi’s Twitter is another way. Often times the links and updates will be on the reddit and usually at least one person will post a translation of it.
ZXZXZX, I was wondering who your favorite girl character from High school DxD and Why, if I may ask?
Well, I can’t say I have a particular girl that I would rank as first to be honest. I’ve had phases where I like one more than the other, but if I really had to choose just one at the moment, I’d say Kuroka. Can’t say no to a cat girl who adds -nya to the end of almost every line, plus I love the way she teases.
Koneko, Between Volume 11’s being the first to propose to Issei, generally being adorable and supporting Issei, and Volume 16’s body changing powers, she eventually pushed Akeno out of first despite her being there the entire series till that point.
We all know that Sairaorg is the True Best Girl though.
Correction: True best girls are Sairaorg and Vali
Rough translation
Ishige Ichiro New work for the first time in nine years (Reboot) “Dead God SLAGHDØG” 1 volume is released simultaneously with November “High School D × D” 24 volumes! Please check the feature first with the dragon magazine released this month! http://www.fujimishobo.co.jp/novel/index.php #haremking #SLASHDØG
thanks for part 2 I happily await part 3. but I won’t hurry you as I am just glad I get to read the awesome translations 🙂
What’s the meaning of ” TBA”?
It means “To Be Announced”.
Thank you for all your hard work!
When you will translate Seikoku no ryuu kishi volume 7 chapter 3 ?? Please upload soon.
I think it’ll be on hold for a while.
welcome back I hope you had a great trip
Thanks, it was great! Will have more about it soon 🙂
Hey are you translating DX4? Since that volume are an extension of vol 23, not side stories.
Wait till after 23, and the Chinese TLers.
Actually, the DX series is usually translated by Daniel Yang. He is in the middle of DX3 at the moment, His site is:
http://danielyang.ninja/
He translates from Korean to English so usually you have to wait a while until he gets the Korean source material.
I don’t know yet. I haven’t had a chance to discuss it with Daniel yet, nor do I know if I will have a reliable source to translate from.
It’s not like I’m monopolising on the DX translations. If anyone who wants to tl the DX series then I’d be happy to give them a go. Especially if they have done the dxd tl before like you.
When you finish school are you going to be putting more time into your transalations?
Can’t say. I don’t know what I’ll be doing, or how much free time I will have.
Are you working on chapter 3 of seikoku ?
If you are please reply, and if you aren’t could you tell me if you’re planing to.
Btw. Thanks for the awesome work.
zxzxzx is currently in Japan on a well deserved vacation.
When he comes back and resumes translating, his priority scale is usually DxD till caught up with chinese source content, followed by alternating between chapters of Shinmai and Seikoku.
Since Seikoku was the most recent chapter (released on June 15 vs May 5 for Shinmai), I would think that after he catches up with DxD it will be a Shinmai chapter.
He has also said that he has no plans to drop any of his projects, so all you have to do is be patient and he will get to Seikoku eventually.
I think I’ve started it. Still far from done from what I remember though.
Do anyone know a Novel that I can read?
It should have at least 10 vl’s and should be similar to High School DxD or Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha
Thanks
Masou Gakuen HxH
Do I have to see the anime first?
Because the story don’t have a beginning. It starts on bed.
No, you don’t need to see the anime first.
Although I will say that you will enjoy the anime more if you watch it BEFORE you read the LNs as there are significant differences between them.
Another series you may enjoy: Magika No Kenshi To Shoukan Maou. The 14th book is due out on Aug. 25th I believe.
Ok thanks
Youre out of luck dude, you’ll never be able to find something similar to DxD equally overflowing in all 5 aspects of quality: Action, Comedy, Characters, Plot, and Setting.
Is zxzxzx on vacation?
Well, on June 3 he said his exams start in about 2 weeks, which would be around June 17.
Then he leaves for a three week trip to Japan 2 days after his exams are over.
I am guessing that exams will be scheduled across a whole week for a full time student, so that would take us to roughly June 24,
So My best guess is that he is either on his way or about to be on his way to Japan.
Either way, don’t expect any updates for the next month.
Yeah, my exams are spread across 2 weeks, the last one is next Saturday.
I will be next week.
here you go guys
http://www.mediafire.com/file/3288839rxgc6b06/High+School+DxD+-+Volume+22.pdf
Hi
Zxzxzx when are you going to upload dxd vol 22 on baka-tsuki.org. We are waiting for the update.
It’ll happen when it does. If you want to read it offline or on your phone, simply save my pages as HTML files or use an ‘offline mode’.
Thanks zxzxzx that you are uploading the chapters of dxd
Not being a dick, I just haven’t seen the plans posted anywhere concerning DxD Vol 23. Are you going to do the whole thing this time, or is CodeZero doing the first half with you finishing up? I know about your trip and that you aren’t starting anything for awhile, so that’s not what I’m concerned about. Thanks for all your hard work up ’til now and in the future.
Zx is giving the chinese translator a head start to translate V23.
I haven’t been able to get in touch with Code Zero recently, but I guess I’ll be doing V23 for now. I think that’s unlikely to change.
Dxd 23on hold… So that mean zxzx still not found the chinese raw or….he already found the chinese raw…but dont have time to tl?
No offense…
i know chapter 2 of dragonar is comming up soon but will their be a point were you focuse on that exclusivly for awhile? or is dragonar your lowest priority?
thank you by the way
High School DxD remains my top priority, and I’d say Shinmai and Seikoku are an equal second. I might pool more time into Seikoku once volume seven of Shinmai is done.
Since you type so much, I want your suggestion as I am buying a keyboard. Do you think mechanical ones are good for typing? I prefer the Chiclet types, silent enough to not disturb your room mate and nice feel.
What do you use? Should I just buy a cheap one?
Sorry for posting here!
No prob, I don’t mind. I use chiclet keyboards at uni, and membranes at home and work. I’ve had a mechanical, but sold it. Mechanicals are good for typists, as it generally reduces strain on the fingers due to less effort required, and people can usually type faster on them as well. However, most of the popular switches e.g. Cherry ### tend to be rather loud and ‘clicky’, which doesn’t seem to suit your needs. There are quiet/silent mechanical keyboards around, though they are a little harder to find. I like chiclet keyboards mainly because they usually don’t require a deep depression on keys, and allow for fairly quick typing. Membranes are a personally preference on mine when it comes to desktops/workstations, simply because I prefer the feel of them – the trade-off in speed is worthwhile. I also like to have RGB lighting on keyboards as it allows me to adjust the colour and brightness to suit room lighting and eye condition. I think if I were you, I’d look into a silent mechanical keyboard (though could be pricey), otherwise go for a chiclet.
I guess I’ll buy a chiclet one and buy a mechanical one after I’ve had some hands-on experience on all of them.
Thanks!
So Zxzxzx can you tell please when you will star to translating Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha chapter 4.
Thank you for the hard work until now
If you had read his latest blog post, he says he is not going to translate anything until after his 3 week long trip to Japan near the end of June.
At that point his focus will most likely be on DxD rather than Shinmai,
So looks like it is going to be several months till you see any more Shinmai.
Ok thanks
Most likely August or later, when I get back home from my trip.
Why no vol 23 yet?
To give the Chinese TL a headstart.
So, in other words, because zxzxzx is lazy?
No, because that way the pages will be done. And he would translate them.
Fucking hell, translate yourself if you can while working or doing assignments then post it online.
Tteltrab Eciruam= Maurice Bartlett spelled backwards. Yet another alias to the annoyingly spoiled kid that needs to be blocked yet again.
zxzxzx will translate it when he has a chinese source to translate,
If you are that impatient, either pay a japanese to english translator to translate it for you or go annoy the japanese to chinese translator to be faster like you do zxzxzx, instead of bothering zxzxzx when he doesn’t have a source to translate yet.
No worries, if he decides to troll zxzxzx again. I’ll give out his location.
You can expect it within one year? That’s how long it almost took vol 22 to be completed. Volume 22 was released July 20 of 2016. So i believe like 10 months it took Zxzxz to finish translation of 22 while waiting for chinese material. It was a hard and long road to Zx to wait and translate. So you should come back within 10 months to a year or in between every month 🙂 Not trying to be rude here, it’s at least less painful than to comeback here and check everyday. Well buddy have a good day and to everyone here and thanks Zxzxzx for the work you’ve done for the readers and fans of the series.
You’re forgetting that Code Zero actually translated the first half of volume 22 and that when 22 came out, volume 21 wasn’t finished by the Chinese source yet. Lots of other factors involved as well.
Ohh Yes !! My bad I forgot about Code Zero, soo mmm its actually less ? i guess, but still it took almost a year adding both of them. Since Zxzxzx couldn’t finish it faster since he was waiting on source material for him to work on.
Yeah of course. At the end of the day it all just depends on the amount of available translatable source material is available and how much time the translators have and can devote to the work. Just gotta wait really. There’s no rush anyway.
Hi zxzxzx
when are you uploading DxD vol22 complete in baka-tsuki
Soon, it’ll be uploaded together or closely after Code Zero’s.
hi! Just asking but… if there already are the chinese translation it would not be faster to first catch up with shinmai since it have very few total volume?
because seikoku no ryuu kishi had a total of over 16 volume if i’m not wrong when shinmai is a lot shorter!
it would not be better? Or are you not doing it beacause there aren’t the chinese translation?
Do agree with you. What’ s even sadder that poll was done and Shinmai was chosen by people, yet…
Not sure what you mean. I picked up Shinmai of my own accord.
I think he is referring to the poll you did back in Oct. 2016 with the choices of Shinmai, Hagure, or drop both, where Shinmai won.
Evidently he apparently thinks that means Shinmai should be the primary focus after DxD.
I think most people are just happy to see some progress on their favorites. I know that I would love to see progress on several projects on BT that are currently stalled.
Opps, forgot to put in my identity for my post. Above post is me.
From what I can tell, zxzxzx will focus on DxD as long as there is chinese content for it, otherwise he swaps between his other projects every chapter. Not sure why, but I can come up with several reasons. Like preventing burnout on a single series, keeping fans of particular series happy that they won’t have to wait forever before they get some content, and variety is the spice of life.
Yeah i know that the novel number one in DxD but at the moment is on hold for missing chinese translation since vol 23 is new but the volume of shinmai, except for vol 10, are pretty old so i think they are already translated! For this reason i was asking
Quite true indeed.
That may be ‘better’ to you or some other people because it’s your preference, but that may not be the case for everyone. I have plenty of source material for both those series. I just like to alternate and work on whatever I want at whatever pace I can. Shinmai chapters are generally quite long and can be arduous to translate simply because the pace is so slow.
oh okay! By the way i was asking because i prefer shinmai since a read both of them, i was simply thinking that maybe if you first finish the shorter (in this case shinmai) now that you don’t have to translate DxD, after you would be more “mentally free” since you don’t need to choose one of them!
But it was only my thinking because this is how i always do: one thing at a time so to also have less stress! Ahah
thank you nonetheless for your translations 🙂
Is it available on baka app?
Guys????
No, not yet. It will go up to Baka-Tsuki at the same time or shortly after Code Zero’s part.
If your still waiting for the afterwords for vol. 22
cause it is on BT already.
Hallelujah, the wait ends!
Sorry if I’ve bothered you at all ZX, I just love DxD more than anything.
Oops, got too excited and forgot my name.
Afterword Baka-tsuki is also present.
Do the afterword already man, it’s just a few lines dude
Pretty sure its the Chinese translators causing the holdup, we already know ZX isnt a “Afterwords Dont matter” person, but they Chinese translators might be.
Also theyre wrong, any Ishibumi Time, is the best time.
Don’t you get tired of having to change your IP to get around the comment bans that you receive for being rude, impatient, and impersonating others?
I dunno, maybe you could try being polite and patient, just for a change of pace.
I am the real Crimson, why should I change IP?
BTW zxzxzx is slowwww
Whatever you say fraud, it’s not gonna bother Zx. He’ll ban you again.
Not siding with this maurice but it’s really been too long…also not blaming anyone
It really hasn’t. We’ve been spoiled by how fast zxzxzx is able to get his translations out. However, that is also based on if the Chinese translations are going well. When they stop, he is forced to. Many translators sometimes take months to release updates when they have the material available, but luckily zxzxzx is not one of them as he’s rather fast when he has the material.
In terms of the current wait though, it’s really not that long. Many light novels get dropped completely or translations stop and then suddenly start again after a few years go by. The month we’ve waited is nothing compared to that. Just need to be patient. The Chinese translator no doubt has their own life issues to deal with now so we just need to wait until they come back. There’s a plethora of anime, manga, and light novels out there for everyone to experience while they wait.
You gotta stop kissing ass man :p you know I’m not bashing z. I know Chinese translators are delaying it…all I’m saying is it’s been a while now.
Loll no kissing ass here and I know you’re not bashing zxzxzx. I’m just pointing out that compared to what I’ve personally seen and heard about other LN translations, we’ve been pretty lucky with the speed DxD has been translated. Don’t worry, I know you’re not one of the trolls hahaha
Cheers man
keep in mind he isnt getting paid and is doing this in his free time. he can just as easily stop permanently if people are dicks to him
Thats kind of irrelevant to whats going on here.
The issue is that there is a known faction of translators that don’t think afterwords are important and don’t translate it. And they might be right for a few authors, but not Ishibumi, hell the afterword is sometimes one of the best parts of the series like when Kiba was referred to as the heroine inspiring eternal Kiba Best Girl jokes.
Tbh, I’ve been going crazy because I cant read this till it’s done, I’ve probably checked this site several hundred times in the past month. And saying to read something else doesn’t really work when DxD is the single greatest thing on the planet.
I honestly just don’t get you…why are you pretending to be someone else…is your life that sad you have to pretend it’s not you….
HI! Great work on vol 22. Will you also translate vol 23 when there is source material?
If possible, yes.
Are there any updates for shinmai maou no keiyakusha (Testament)? Please let me know, good luck.
I’ve translated a few parts of V7C3 this month, and I’ll be adding more today.
Hi zxzxzx when are you uploading the vol 22 in baka-tsuki
Once the Afterword is done as well.
Please dont tell me the Chinese translators are “Afterwords dont matter” people.
Not to worry, I’m almost certain that it will be done in due time.
-Reading “this week”
-Insert Thor shouting YAAAASSSSSSSSS from the Ragnarok trailer.
Thank you so much!
You know I can just change my IP to remove the ban right? Instead of banning me why don’t you just get the translations faster?
No body would care on what you say.
No wonder it seems a bit lonely.
if you want the translations faster why not do them yourself? or pay him to do them full time? translators do this in their spare time for free and post for us keep being an ass and he can quit and then you get no translation would you like that?
Really thank you for giving so much attention to shinmai. Thank you
So i just found that campione ends in what another 2-3 novels (counting from vol 18 ie), will you translate it zxzxzx?
Btw i never expected that vol 19 and 20 were already released(obviously of campione).
zxzxzx primarily translates DxD. Then he also works on Shinmai and Seikoku on the side when he can. I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t want to add another series on the list considering how much work translating is and that he has to balance it with his already very busy actual life responsibilities. Besides that series was taken down from Baka Tsuki over a year ago because of DMCA threats and translations ceased. So nobody has officially taken over the project for fear of being threatened by the publisher. That being said, unofficially, well, you’ll just have to search harder on the internet.
Dang, I can’t even remember what Volume I was on when that was pulled…
Ummm @Vb I’ll give you a hint. Go to bakapervert website and go to Fanfic. You’ll find what you need. And don’t say anything about it. Read bakapervert rules about it. You can thank him there.
Thnx buddy i have been searching for its translations like forever. Thnx again
This fake thing is actually funny??? anyways yall got any updates on season 4 anime??
My guess the updates will come when Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai will starts or finish it. But what I heard its currently being made.
The fake me has changed his avatar, so lame
PS: zxzxzx get on working NOW
Your the fake one and Zx knows it’s me because he has seen my pic before.
Wow, the irony. “Fake me” “So lame” Are you insulting yourself dude? If so, I feel so sad for you. Nevertheless, I feel even worse for your family and frien- wait you don’t have one. Wow, that’s even worse. Now i feel even worse for your family. They raise you up so that you can become a usefull person but now here you are. I wonder what do they see inside of you that they would still take care of you. It’s better for them to disown you for the sake of themselves. What a stupid and ignorant parents you got. Now i feel less worse. Thanks.
In all honesty, do they still really love you?
How is this?
Yeah, you got the same dp on AS. Use the same email id from now on and you good to go.
Alright, thanks I appreciate it.
You know it’s bad when Maurice resorts to using other people’s names. How low he’s fallen. So sad. Poor guy must really have nothing else worthwhile in his life if all he values is attempting to bother people over the internet.
I recommend trying to go outside and experiencing real life Maurice. It’ll certainly help with getting rid of that spoiled brat attitude you have of thinking you should always get what you want when you want it. The real world is a lot different and you’ll be able to grow as a person once you find out that the rest of the world doesn’t live to cater to you and your childish behavior. Maybe you’ll even learn to respect and appreciate other people too.
I am Crimson. The other one is fake. Zxzxzx is slow as a grandma
I never make insults to zxzxzx so stop using my name.
@Crimson and Darkness(the real one) change your icon if you can so the fake Crimson and Darkness can’t copy you anymore. One more thing, if the fake Crimson and Darkness is really Maurice Bartlett, then I’ve got only one thing. How low have you fallen until you would do this kind of thing? It’s like the Trump’s stupidness level. Seriously, you would be like the 2nd Trump insulting and blaming people without any hard proof evidence.
Oh yeah by the way, this kind of play pretending to be someone is really really an oldschool method mate. I’ve thought of this way to humiliate you even more but I realise that if I did that I would be like a 2nd you. And I don’t want that. So have fun playing pretending shit while it last. I will wait for the day the real Maurice Bartlett that would ‘only’ insult the translator with a long ass message returns. Because lately I see that your insulting skill is getting worse and worse by the minute. So I hope the Maurice Bartlett that I know will return.
Thank you and goodbye.
@Cyclone how do you change your icon. I’m the real one.
One can use gravatar, but that can be copied too. Quite easily actually.
Like Anadi said, you can use gravatar but the only downside you need to create an account. Just click your icon it will bring you there.
@Anadi I really want to see the fake Crimson and Darkness changes his icon and being keep updated with the real Crimson and Darkness icon if he can. This would prove that he’s a useless piece of shit to the society who knows how to do small minor changes on the internet to disturb people and when it comes to the real deal his a scaredy cat.
Look at yourself and realise how much of an ungrateful piece of shit you are. A piece of shit remains a piece of shit no matter what name it has.
To be dependent on the person you have so much hate for, your life sure is shit. Go away, no one gives a shit about you and your whining. You said you were gonna quit, well, everybody is eagerly waiting for you to act on your words.
And whatever be your name, I’m gonna call you Maurice Turd-lett.
What? There is someone else using my name. I was the one who said zxzxzx is a snail, the other one is a fake. Come on zxzxzx get on with your work already damn it
You could try banging your head on the desk. That could help the Chinese Translations come faster. But sure, zxzxzx can definitely wait faster. I don’t know why he is waiting sooo slooow. Other translators wait so fast, right?
I wonder how your mom waited nine months to give birth to you… She must have been really disappointed. Maybe that’s why she didn’t teach you how to wait.
And sure you are Crimson(Not sarcasm bro, I believe you! You are a credible man). Well, the other Crimson is better.
Stop using MY NAME!
I don’t think you should use other people’s name, and zxzxzx is the best translator.
Ps, I hit my head when I was a kid.
So long. I Quit. This translator Is slower than a snail
Everyone this is not me. He’s using my name.
Maurice, is that really you? Has your name become this insignificant? Dude.
So, late again. Nice excuse, blaming the Chinese translators
If your so impatient on waiting, go read other Light Novels or watch Anime. So draw your attention to them or continue being hated.
@Anadi I mean no disrespect & I’m not trying to be rude, I was letting him know (no disrespect). This is a mistake I made & it won’t happen again. Sorry. : (
I know you were not trying to be rude or anything, just don’t get too carried away! 🙂 There are some really annoying guys who will use the info to annoy zxzxzx based on that info! You could notify it to him privately.
Maybe I was over-reacting, don’t apologise!
Like this Maurice person? I know alot of people don’t like him that much. Can you tell me why exactly? Thank you. : )
He’s been making threats to zxzxzx and harassing him.
What Crimson said. He’s an attention seeker. With some kinda problem with his mind, normal people don’t behave that way. Like a psychopath.
Wow thats really disturbing. :O
So what happened with the last translator?
Why does he not translat any more?
Who are you referring to exactly?
I meant the Chinese translator
Is he not translating any more?
They are still translating it as we speak, and that’s why I’m waiting.
The Chinese translator has put up part 7 of Life. 5. Just want to let you know thats all.
The Chinese translator has put up part 7 of Life. 5. Just want to let you know thats all.
@Dragonx He has been doing it for years, you don’t have to show your eagerness and post latest updates here and put any pressure on him. I know you weren’t trying to do so, but I don’t think he ever needed someone to tell him that the Chinese content is out.
Calm your oppai. If you really want to give him updates, don’t do it publicly, there are many annoying people here who might act like dicks. Just send him an email privately!
Just thought i would mail you as we have a guy on “a place for devils” (reddit) he has been taking Japanese for 5 years he said, he is going to have a go at the last 2 chapters that Ariel hasn’t finished yet, if you want to get in contact with him maybe leave a message on his post there:
I gave him the link for BT’s names & terminology guide as well to help him out.
So anyway i’ll let you go and hope you have a good day/night 😉
You might want to let him know that EX is already completely translated. No sense in him duplicating work already done.
True, though it seems it’s for learning purposes, so having a reference for comparison will be good.
Yeah, I saw that just earlier but I think Ariel, JeruTz and yourself have given him everything he might need to get started.
Can you tell us when the translation of DxD Part 7 will be finish?
No, he can’t. He’s waiting on another translator to translate it to a language he can work with. It all depends on the other person, so there is no way to estimate their speed. He’ll get it to us as soon as possible.
0k thanks
Don’t know mate, I’m waiting on the rest of it myself.
OK Thanks
Hi first off all thank you for everything se cond when do u plan to start translating Shinmai Maou no Testament again 🙂
In progress at the moment.
🙂 volume 8 is far off yet isn’t it?
Oh my God man,When the part 7. will arrive?I cant wait anymore
Currently waiting for the rest of it myself.
The blue balls of reading feel bad for sure. Thank you for your amazing work though.
Zxzxzx i want to ask!! I just got myself DxD volume 23 but i dont know japanese, but maybe you could point me in the right direction in where i can start learning so maybe in the near future I could help out with translation.
In Japanese, there are 3 scripts. Hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Hiragana and katakana you could call ‘alphabets’ of all the sounds that are used in the Japanese language. There are about 50 of them. Remembering these will let you pronounce kana, but you’d still need to learn vocabulary. There are also about 2000 commonly used kanji characters, but you shouldn’t worry about those just yet. The first step will be to memorise the kana so that you can read and pronounce the basic sounds and eventually string sentences together. After that, you’ll want to pick up the vocabulary and grammar.
Tae Kim’s guide is an excellent resource. There are also a few others, but I can’t recall them at the moment.
Thanks man !! I appreciate it. 🙂
Zxzxzx how exactly do you decide which novels you translate next?
DxD usually takes priority. As for the others, I try to alternate them.
I agree with zxzxzx
no spoilers of DxD V23 please
Thank you for hanging on to Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi. Have the novel set myself but serious doubts I’ll be able to learn enough Japanese to finish it. And there’s no guarantee the manga will continue to the end.
Just something different, i like night mode, i have come across some other sites starting to do the same thing.
It not only takes the glare away when reading but for me it makes it a little easier to read as well.
All Volume 23 Illustrations
I reckon issei is becoming more and more like detective kindaichi..
How many parts are there in this bloody LN????
7 parts. Then there’s New Life and Afterword.
I usually list the individual parts of each chapter on its page, and the chapter list can be found on the series’ page.
thanks 3zx we know you do your best with the translations we can wait.
thanks for the good work with DxD your awesome keep it up 🙂
Thanks for the fast translation
Thanks for part 5 & 6! Keep up the good work!
First Illustration of v23!
Christ Issei is ripped to fucking shreds there’s no fat on him at all.
Yeah, there’s totally nothing else worth mentioning in this illustration. 😀
Absolutely looking forward to it!
Ou la la????
Thank you zxzxzx for translating and for the update of DxD
zxzxzx do you have an YouTube channel?
Just for animes
I can’t find any good YouTuber for such stuff
Check out ‘Nux Taku’ , watch his sarcastic anime trailers ,pretty awesome .
Ok I’ll try thanks
I guess you could call this my YouTube channel. As you can see, it’s fairly empty as I don’t have much time to edit and upload videos. I might throw up a few videos of games and so on in future, but don’t expect too much.
Subscribed! I like those how to videos.
Oh, and btw, if you hit dislike by accident, seems like there’s no way it’s coming back, hit it again, and you got 2 dislikes… So, yeah, I’m gonna try to unclick the dislike button on your comment, hope it doesn’t become 2!
I guess it’s showing -1 dislikes, which technically is one like, so yeah, let’s leave it! Even the dislike button gives like for you!
Ok I’ll check it
Art cover of volume 23 is out!
http://ishibumi.exblog.jp/25476006/
I will come out in a week and a half. Let’s hope that either the chinese guy resumes translation or CodeZero lends you a hand.
*It will
Wonder why this time round it didn’t let me edit the post to fix it.
I’ve disabled that feature temporarily – might enable it again once I know it’s working the way I want it to.
We will probably have volume 23 translated by the time volume 25 comes out
We will have Volume 23 translated if you try and translate by yourse- oh no wait you can’t because you’re a useless person in this world.
Bullying is not the answer
It was not for you
Understand
hey asshole…you are not being smart by commenting like that….and zxzxzx can translate thats why we ask him to do it…
At first I am not an asshole and second you don’t know me so you have no right to offend me.
Thank you for understanding
Hey zx i dont really understand what you meant with the dxd next update, 7/3 or 8/3. Could you explain to me what u mean by that?
It means March 7th or March 8th.
It is the Country not the house number
I mean home
So Zxzxzx is from Amerika
No.
Where is he from? If not USA
Country which is currently having a test match with India
I have no interest in football. Can’t you just say which Country
That’s private to ask where he’s from.
^This.
I reckon you have the right to politely ask where he’s from (which I thought you did), but then again, he also has the right to ignore a question. So please understand if he doesn’t answer.
I wasn’t pointing you out btw. I was merely giving an explanation?
Man test match has no connection whatsoever with football
Hey z i wanted to ask….is cricket really that famous in your country?
It is one of the most well known and spoken of sports alongside rugby.
Then we are rivals man….series 1-1 and 2 more to go??
Wait, you’re from India? I didn’t watch the second match and all I see now is Ishant’s contorted face.
CN is an abbreviation for China or Chinese. zxzxzx translates from the Chinese translations of DxD so until that translator continues, he needs to wait. He’s caught up to the Chinese translator.
Ok thanks
Whats the Meaning of “CN content”?
No need to answer I find it
Thank you for the update 🙂
Really thank you for translating Shinmai
Yo zxzxzx …. Need a small help on the info about light novel oregiaru ….
Fire away…though I’m not sure why you’re asking me – I have nothing to do with Oregairu.
Just asked because since u live in the LN world thought u might know about it …
Sorry if I disturbed u ….
Hi Guys in shinmai maou no keiyakusha it seems volume 11 is the final novel is it true?
I’m afraid so.
Volume 23 : ‘Joker of the ball games’ is releasing on March 18!!
Hi zxzxzx thanks for posting the update.but you said caught up to CN content what does that mean are you taking any break or did you do not have the chinese scans.
I mean when are you resuming the translation just desperate for DxD
Caught up means he caught up. He’s translated whatever Chinese translations were available so far. CN is an abbreviation for China or Chinese btw.
If on the 23 we don’t have an update then I swear I will hack your website. Take the translator job seriously, there are plenty of people that would do it instead of you.
That is a serious threat.
This ain’t my job, it’s my hobby. That said, I take it seriously to ensure that I can deliver the best quality that I can. I’d like to see ‘plenty’ of people asking to take over this project.
zxzxzx you dont need to reply this bastard , just ignore him. he just want attention. you can translate this in your pace, we appreciate that you take your time to translate this novel
This guys been trolling the DxD translators for years, just ignore him and ban his IP if possible.
plz stfu, stop complain every time zxzxzx have a life, and we fans appreciate that he takes his time to translate this novel to get the best quality . so can you fucking stop posting those fucking comments about , “you dont keep you promises, etc… and threatens him that you will hack his website…. go fuck urself bastard or i will hack you and find where you live and make your life ****
you disgusting fucktard, i will hack you if you dont stop with this, zxzxzx have a life and we appreciate that he takes his time to translate this novel in high quality , so stop with this …
hi maurice bartlett. let me tell you something i will hack you and find where you live, so stop with this nonsense now if i see you post something like this again in this blog or disturb zxzxzx i will rip ur ass and find you
Nothing against the comment, but you should find him first, and then rip his ass.
@Maurice Bartlett So you think if Highschool DxD gets a different translator they would do a better job than 3zx? Are you so confident that they would regularly update without any delay? This a hobby not a job. You must be one hell of a child sucking your parents money off doing nothing good but staring at the computer 24 hours jerking off to shit. Nevertheless, if you are a student currently studying or even working , then damn you have one hell of a ego. Saying all shit like hacking or stuff like you know shit. If you are still kid then act like a fucking kid. If this keep on going, you’re definitely gonna have trouble with your relationship.
Funny bro…see I’m not gonna bother with yu…but if yu have friends who can also translate then why bother coming here and cause a outburst?
He has no friends. Duhhh . Who wants to be friend with this guy. I bet he acts all shy and timid at school but at home with his internet he acts all mighty and shit like his the king of the internet.
Just shut the fuck up and let zxzxzx do his ‘job’. your not his boss.
The quotes are out.
https://mobile.twitter.com/ishibumi_ddd/status/833678956180037633
can anyone get the quotes translated please ???
You can copy/paste the entire page using Google Translate. That should give you a rough idea of the contents.
hey zx!
I just tried out your night mode it is pretty fantastic
but lines from your next update go missing when I turned on my night mode.
like the text in black turns white during night mode but the text in the black in next updates remains black and can not be seen
I see, thanks for letting me know!
The first part of Life 5 part 1 that you’ve translated so far sure is interesting zxzxzx. (I don’t think people realize it’s there as its not visible unless you go search for it). Either way, thanks for the translations so far. I know the Chinese source translator is busy so it’ll be a while for the rest. Even though it’s clear that things will really be picking up in Volume 23 hahaha.
Anyway, as far as the big question for life 5 goes, I don’t think Bina’s identity will be revealed yet, but there’s certainly a lot of speculation as to who she is. Given certain impossible candidates that people bring up, (its not possible for Grayfia to be her as she’d need to be traded by Sirzechs and wouldn’t abandon his peerage anyway and nor would anyone ask her too, it would seem like a betrayal to Sirzechs from both her and Issei honestly), I’m still hoping it’s Tiamat haha.
My money is on Tiamat already being a devil thanks to Ajuka who would clearly be someone that could turn her and she seems to be a servant of his in some form given that she seems to owe him a debt (Tanin, a former great dragon king, is also a devil Queen piece, so it’s very possible) and her considering to permanently join Issei is another hint going all the way back to her earliest reference as the strongest familiar. Plus, the history she has with Ddraig. It’s honestly about time her character became more important given the foreshadowing.
Then again, it could be someone entirely new as well which could also work well too. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
My money is also on Tiamat being Bina.
Nahh….i think she is one of the remaining longinus user. Now i know she didn’t use any longinus ability but you never know..
Ahh yes that’s another possibility as well. Honestly, I completely forgot about the remaining few longinus users haha. Granted, that would be another new character, but it would also make sense because she’s observing Issei to see if he’s worthy of being her King and thereby worthy of her power. So yeah, I’d say that’s another very likely outcome. One I’d also accept. Still, I’d like Tiamat’s character to become more important regardless haha.
Since in the spoilers I’ve read it said that Bina is “auditioning” Issei to be her King, that would seem to rule out Grayfia. But in the part of Part 1 that is translated, Issei says that she isn’t in his peerage, and is only a team member for the tournament, so that means it could still be Grayfia. This situation could change with more info gained once more of Life 5 is translated, so don’t rule anybody out just yet.
Exactly she’s auditioning to be in his peerage, but that still means it’s not Grayfia simply because she cannot be traded (not that she’d join anyway given obvious reasons). As her King, Sirzechs would have to perform the trade with Issei, like Rias and Issei did for Rosseweisse. Since he is going to be fighting Trihexa indefinitely in another dimension for years to come, he certainly won’t be available to trade Grayfia to Issei lol.
Actually, according to Nom@n’s spoilers, she’s not auditioning for him, he’s auditioning for her. But according to the draft of Life 5 Part 1 that’s already translated, her joining Issei’s peerage isn’t even on the table, she’s just a team member for the tournament. That doesn’t mean things can’t change farther into Life 5, though.
Yes that’s what I meant (I mentioned that in an earlier comment). She basically wants to see if Issei is worthy of her power essentially and I have no doubt that she will join his peerage eventually. I’m aware she’s not his Queen piece yet, only the Queen position in the tournament (like Irina is a knight, but she’s not a devil). I was just saying that because she’s considering joining Issei’s peerage, she cannot be Grayfia so you can rule Grayfia out as the identity of Bina.
Hey y’all,
I wanted to know. What website do y’all go to to order the DxD light novels or pre-order the new ones in Japanese?
I was able to buy volume 22 on ebay. Usually, there’s multiple sellers on there. I don’t know if you can preorder them there though.
I personally use the Japanese Amazon site for the digital versions. For the hardcopy, I buy them at a bookstore.
Like Nightmode a lot more then Day mode makes blog look and seem Darker.
hey man do you do this for fun or as a hobby?….it seems to me that you are not interested in the projects that you have been working on(no offence)…….i m visiting your page for past 4-5 months for shinmai but it changed from ‘on progress’ to ‘on hold’—————–………..can you tell tell me how much you have completed shinmai’s chapter 3??………
He just does not care I wish we could get another translator who actually cares and gets the work done
dude there is a translator who translates an entire volume in 3-5 days …..but he is not enough motivated to translate shinmai yet although he is currently reading it now …..
Indeed, I’m sure that might be the case for some translators…but that would be well over a full working week dedicated to translation, at least for me, and I’m afraid I can’t do that at the moment.
None taken. This is my hobby whenever I have time for it. Although I’m still on my break from studies at the moment, work has been really flat-out for me the past few months so I’ve had less time to translate than I normally would. I’m committed to working on my projects, I just wish I had more time…
You’re awesome but you already know that.
Night mode seems to work fine only problem I see is the box that shows your posts the comments in the box can’t be seen due to the color of the words is white instead of black. Hope this helps you out.
I see, thanks for spotting that! I’ll see what I can do.
Night mode works great, at least for the chapters texts. Many thanks for accepting and realising my suggestion Zx-san \o/
yooo check it out volume 10 cover for new testament!!
[spoiler title='New Testament volume 10 cover']Check it out volume 10, so dark![/spoiler]
What is the difference between “On hold because there is no new chinese material” and “In progress, pending availability of new material”?
It means he Is lazy and cannot fulfill promises
It means he is very busy, so show some respect for that. And zxzxzx does fulfilled his promises like he does, so wait patiently.
I’ve got a short part that has been released by the Chinese translator, which I’ve yet to translate myself, but after completing that part, I would still be waiting on the Chinese translation to progress first so that I can follow it.
Do you have the link of chinese TL?
You’ll find it in this thread.
Hey z…..what’s new for slash dog?
No news afaik yet, but I’ve heard that Ishibumi will be returning to it soon. The generous people over at the wiki may have more info, or may have already posted info about it on the wiki.
Glad your safely back from your trip and thank you for the DXD work. Great job.
Ir Is February now. Where Is Life.5? Oh right, gay Zero gave you his laziness
Please.. Don´t give him reasons to hate DxD.. You want some spoilers of the Life 5? Is in chinese… The user leaf27sky put all about the things of this volume:
http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4788674025?pn=30
With a bad translate I understand that:
-The team talk about his Queen. Ravel thinks that Bina is a good member for the team and about a secret under his mask.
-Another teams are mentioned in the rating game(nothing important of these teams)
-The Rias team has a high rating
-The new members of Rias team are mentioned for Issei team.. Valerie healing power. The Rias Knight(Lint Sellzen) use the same battle costume of Irina and Xenovia(Irina is mentioned here, nothing wrong) and one sword and Gun(like freed) as weapons.. Mr. Black is mentioned..
-Ophis and Lilith appear(the last thing for now)
We should wait a little longer, maybe he translates the volume in that place.
Assuming the kind of attitude Maurice Bartlett gives, I would be much surprise if he didn’t knew the spoiler beforehand. Because it’s him. Like literally everyone knows him. Not just here but at Code-Zero website’s, daniel Yang website’s and even Ariel_Saeba website’s. Heck he he’s even famous at animesuki for his attitude.
I was refreshing this page to see if you showed up
Well… It’s like everyone was expecting for this guy to show up. If he suddenly to keep quiet and do nothing about it, then it won’t be the ‘Maurice Bartlett’ that we all know and come to love to his comment about.
Thanks for the work you have done till now and most excited to read your next works. I do mean it.
Volume 23 has been announced for march 2017 🙂
just want to say this thx zxzxzx for translating this aswum novel
Night mode is ok and don’t affect readability. We will not have anything until next month huh? Well that’s ok i guess, we’ll just have to wait, i’m curious about what will happen though. Oh btw i am brazillian and i appreciate your work.
zxzxzx I just want to say thanks for all this
Triple-Zxzxzx gets the chinese version from this website. http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4788674025?pn=29
Humph. I didn’t understand a single thing from that website. Nevertheless, thanks for the link. Much oblige.
Your Welcome. 🙂
I saw Life 5 in the 26th page, but it’s very short.
zxzxzx I’ve been meaning to ask this for a long time. You said that you translate DxD from a Chinese translation to japanese right? Is it a website? And if it is, may I know what’s the website? I’ve always wanted to take a visit at the website that your translating from.
He gets his sources quite well.
And also are u planning to help transition of
Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica in your free time
Not at the moment. I’d rather try to finish off some of my current projects.
I hate to complain but the impression that I got from zxzxzx was that they were going to finish dxd vol 22 before changing novels So what happened
Thought I already made it clear why I’m translating something else at the moment, did I not?
Somebody, somewhere translates the Japanese to Chinese, zxzxzx then translates the Chinese to English. The Chinese translator is stalled on Life 5, so zxzxzx has no source material to translate from. Therefore he is working on something else while he has the time to do so waiting on the J>C translator. Understand now?
Sorry I missed that
What a surprise, another excuse
And here’s our first hater. I know your are dumb, probably a result of you landing on your heard while you were still a baby, so, I’ll try to explain it once again so that your empty head can finally understand. Unless, you pay them to translate translaters like zxzxzx don’t owe us anything. They are translating for free and they do have a life. Sometimes, it gets in the way and other times situations like not getting the raws will come up. Be glad you were at least able to read rest of the chapters till now. If you still don’t like his speed then I have a simple suggestion for you; never visit this site again. Do you have any idea about how hard it is to translate?!
On a side note, thank you zxzxzx for your hard work. Looking forward to the next chapter of SMNK.
Please ignore him next time because he’s clearly trolling. If people keep replying then he will do it again and again.
He ain’t first….he comes and drops a comment once in a while, don’t bother with it
Thanks for the hard work, i used to read DXD in spanish but the translations were so awful that i decided to switch to english, and its because of you that i can keep up to date with the history, one more time thank you very much, and sorry for the english(in case of any mistake)
No worries mate. Any reason in particular why the Spanish translations are bad?
its because they use google translate i guess, their sentences don’t make sense at all, well some of them make sense but, that’s not what is bad, they are bad because, when i read them in spanish and then in english i noticed that the situation described doesn’t matched, of course i couldn’t expected it to be a literal translation but the things were like yellow an golden, your translation being the golden one of course.
Can i use your work to translate to Spanish?
I see. Of course, you’re welcome to use my translation to translate into any language.
I was actually planning to re-read DxD from the beginning in Spanish, mainly for practice, so I guess I’ll see for myself.

Thanks, think that’s the one I also came across a while ago to download the PDFs from. Will give them a go when I feel up to it.
Found this on animesuki. Spoiler/teaser for next Hagure Yuusha?
While it doesn’t confirm anything, I think it at least shows that it isn’t completely scrapped. On hiatus yes. Though at the same time I also think when (/if?) it continues there will be only 2 or 3 more volumes.
Been a while zxzxzx. A little late but I hope you had a Happy New Year.
It can’t be help if the source doesn’t exist
If this case, can you priorize to translate Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha?
I insist because the anime version essentially adapts till volume 7, and I want to know what exactly happen after this?
Pd: Just a side question, so if you can’t respond, it doesn’t matter
I remember that you said that DxD side stories are low priority because sooner or later will be formally published. Have you read them?
Do you know if in some story the main characters find a formal human unwilly transformed in devil or vampire and the characters try to help him or her?
Yep, plan to do so in the next few weeks.
The Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi update I’ve listed has been done for a while actually…just haven’t had time to upload.
As for your side question, I haven’t read all of them. Maybe just one or two more than what has been translated so far. I haven’t come across any short story with a plot like what you’ve described.
Oki
I ask because I consider weird
For the seen setting till now, Rias Gremory has her sense of honor and certainly she wouln’t transform someone against his/her will if know that hey wouldn’t cooperate, and the dead/almost dead people, they at last would feel indebed with her
But it is implied, specially for Azazel’s speech in volume 10 and 12, that some times the devils [and vampires too, no details] convert some people just because they want their powers or just for fun, all against their will
With the seen settings till now I can see 4 possibilities
a. Just put the evil piece before the person and this is instantly transformed [improvable, but not impossible with the seen material]
b. Devils lying to the people, and then turned in slaves [the most provable with the seen material]
c. They want a person, and this refuse, just kill him/her and use the piece with the corpse
d. They want a person, and this refuse and s/he is too strong to force and/or kill, just threat to kill the family if not cooperate
The b. I think that is people’s fault to accept before to know all the details. but c. and d. would be completely inmoral and dishonest, so I can’t believe that they are acceptable specially if all factions try to cooperate
Any chance Hagure Yuusha going to get picked up? Raws can be found on Jcafe, I found this is site when i was looking for tl’s so I was wondering whether you dropped it or was only a passing comment. Don’t mean to be a bother.
It’s been on my plans for a while, but I’ve been busy with other projects so haven’t actually had time to make a start on it.
