Line should actually read: "Some say that after Olympias came into conflict with King Philip,
she returned home and instigated her younger brother, the King of Epirus, to attack Macedonia..." |
Some of you might have seen that the group known as
Project Vinland has translated this month's release for Historie just 2 days ago. Personally, I was surprised to see this, given that Historie isn't exactly the most popular series, I've been more or less punctual with putting out translations for it since 2009 (it was the first manga I translated), and I've had difficulty finding anyone to even help out with the tankoban releases for it. Although such actions in the scanlation-community might be considered "poaching/sniping" and lead to DRAMA, I don't think this really calls for any of that. I simply contacted their translator, told him I was cool with it, especially since I've been pretty busy these days (though I plan to return to a more active status from this May). I also requested that if his group was going to pick up Historie, then they should not ignore the tankoban releases, since Iwaaki fixes up a lot of the background art and sometimes even adds a few more pages, and thankfully, they agreed to do so. This is great news since the tankoban volume 11 came out last summer and I've been too busy to get around to it.

Lines should actually read: "Aegae is alright, but..." and "In the East, our forces attacking Persia is, well...
Parmenion and Attalus are struggling considerably." |
The chapter they did put out had a few translation errors such as above but I kindly pointed out all the translation errors and they should put out a fixed version 2 soon. So to sum up, for the time being, I'm not going to work on Historie BUT I will keep an eye on the raws/translations so that I can point out any major translation errors. And if it ever comes to pass that Project Vinland doesn't work on Historie, I'll simply pick it back up.
So don't worry folks, and as I said, I plan to start putting out new chapters for all my projects from mid-May-ish. Thanks for being patient with me.
Sweet! Can't wait to see you back in action Hox, we appreciate all that you do <3
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to literally whatever you do Hox.
ReplyDeleteAlso do you know if there is a way I can get an email aler whenever you update the blog?
ReplyDeleteI set up an email subscription for the rss feed at the top right corner of my site just now. Hopefully, it works.
DeleteAwesome! Thanks!
DeleteHello. I don't think I can download the chapter. Or can I? And how?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I much preferred finding the updates on your Mega drive.
If you're talking about the latest Historie chapter, that's done by Project Vinland, not by me. I only told them to correct some translation errors and make a second version. So you'll have to contact them on their discord if you want a download link.
DeleteHi kukuzelis, I've uploaded the v2 release with Hox's translation corrections to my mega for you:

@Rilland // Thank you. Much obliged.
Delete@Hox / Well, making corrections makes it your project too [me thinks :-)] How about saving those chapters in your hard drive? [By the way, I discovered Mega drive thanks to you. A fine service. Thanks for that too.]
moronic question,but do you have any idea of why historie wasn't officially released in west?not even in france(what is weird since they have cesare and ad astra) same for yokohama.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea at all. It is baffling.
Deletei dont want to sound like a beggar, but i'd love for you to prioritize ad astra once you get back into an active state of translating
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'll try to get that series done since it only has a few volumes left.
DeleteBlessed man
ReplyDeleteman, wish you the best, will never forget updating you'r blog daily. thank you so much for all your work
ReplyDeletejust now saw this message from you. thanks so much for all the time you put into Historie - your dedication and love of history itself was very obvious!
ReplyDeleteBless anyone who does translation of Historie. Banzai!
