Challenge #5

In your own space, talk about an idea you wish you had the time / talent / energy to do. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

There are so many things I could write for this, but if I had the time, energy, and resources I would love to:

• Publish a proper translation of Sugiura Shiho's Silver Diamond. The whole series. One that conveys all the humor and subtlety the TokyoPop attempt didn't. Because oh my gosh, Sugiura's writing is so good and there is just so much to sink your teeth into in it.


• And then ideally follow that up with a translation of Koori no Mamono no Monogatari because that one is great too.


• And since I might as well go for the hat trick: translate Akizuki Koh's Ocho Romanse and Yukimura-dono historical fantasy/BL novels. (These would be a lot harder, because so much of the pleasure of reading them is tied up in the language: pronouns and politeness registers that don't exist in English. But it would be a fun challenge.)

これで以上です。
