Mathematical Girls Volume 1

And volume 1 of Mathematical Girls is complete! Touching on sequences, series, factorization, rotation matrix, imaginary numbers, trigonomeyry, complex planes, de Moivre's Theorem, it's certainly proved to be quite an interesting read (hopefully for you as well). But the thing I'm most enjoying about this manga isn't the math but how its terms are used it to convey the romance. Nerdy? Yes, but highly entertaining.

For once, I actually translated the afterword since the author Yuuki Hiroshi talks about how this whole Mathematical Girls story started. I actually wasn't even aware that this manga was an adaptation, much less an adaptation of stories originally posted on a website. Speaking of his website, I looked through the Mathematical Girls section and found confirmation that the name "Miruka" is officially to be spelled as "Milka" so I've fixed the name for the batch volume (though not in EdMx's chapters 1 and 2). Other than the name Milka, I've fixed minor typos here and there, me mistakenly using the term "series" when I actually meant "sequence," and one typo that the mangaka made on p139 (thanks to the anon who pointed this out).

Also, as Yuuki has pointed out in the afterword, I actually did find the fan-made songs on niconico he was talking about (a Miku song, of course. What else could it possibly have been?). Since not everyone has a niconico account, here's one I found on youtube instead.

P.S. Don't expect v2 to be done as quickly as I did v1.

    Thanks for the scanlation!

    I had some serious censorship misadventures at mangaupdates.com - just a little bit more confirmation that we now live in a totally fascist world, but knowledge is power so I encourage you to check it out!

    Hi. First post here. Thanks for your hard work and doing some old golden age manga. I was wondering... I saw that you have Cobra Raws on your profile. Have you considered giving it a try? I think it's very popular and it might increase this site's traffic lol joking. I hope you don't find my question offending or something. Thanks again.

    I actually uploaded those cobra raws for another scanlation group. I myself don't have any plans to do it, however.

    Btw i just realised that you did Strongest Man Kurosawa. Thanks a lot!

    So does this group have any plans to start working on Cobra? Did they mention when?

    I'm not sure if this manga is trying to appeal to maths enthusiasts or novices. Half the time it explains basic mathematical concepts that are interesting frankly quite educational and interesting, then it spends the other half completely alienating the previous audience with advanced mathematics they have no hope of understanding.

    Hi, all. Please pardon the somewhat commercial comment, but you might be interested in hearing that we will be releasing a translation of the Math Girls novel in a very short time. Barring unfortunate incidents, we should have a sample (the first 2 chapters) up on our web site some time next week, and the book should be available for purchase within a month.
    Check out our announcement here: http://bentobooks.com/2011/09/math-girls-publication-announcement/

    Just thought I might tell you that the Mathematical Girls MediaFire folder is empty. (To my complete dismay...)
    Thank you for all of your work... *runs away crying hysterically*
