*** Violinist of Hameln Translation : Volume 11, movement 44 ***************************************************** By:Watanabe Michiaki Published by: Gan Gan Comics, Enix English Translation: Adeline Tan (invisiblizer@hotmail.com) 1999 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer : This translation was made from a chinese version of VoH so stuff might be lost in this 'double' translation. Neither is this translation direct from chinese (Ni zhai shuo she me? = You are talking what? ^_^;) but on what seems most appropriate. Also most sound effects in my manga are still in japanese, which i can't read, gomen! Pages with no speech will be skipped, okie? Credits : Without the help of these great pple, this translation would not be nearly as good! Raya-san - who helped with Slur, answered my newbie translating questions and editing. Skuld-san - who gave me the name of Mt. Phineh, signboard No. 2 and advised me on the name for Movement. 46 Sizer-san (sizer@crowsnest.aeug.org) - whose great info page at http://crowsnest.aeug.org/~sizer/ helped with spelling names (e.g. Cornet). Arigato minna! Lastly, this translation is dedicated to all the nice pple on the Hamel ML who put up with all my newbie questions - altho' they could prolly read this manga in japanese better than i ever could ^_^; ~ Note ~ *...* are significant actions, ~...~ are thoughts and (SP) or 'small-print' is for some small guy whose words are not in a speech bubble.
