Blood Hound (the Betsu Hana vampire story)

[tenjou_sama]

It's not really Risu-chan's fault that it says 'sick house' instead of hospital. It says in the translations notes that it's what a friend told her.

And if it's causing such a problem I'll just edit the translation note page and replace sick house with hospital and upload it, so it can replace the old one.

That way everyone's happy [img]cool.gif[/img]

Edit: Crisis, I uploaded the edited page for you.

^^;;;;;;;;; (I took Doug's word for it... he'd had 5 years of German, I figured that was good... anyhow, yeah, lots of people have been mailing me too! Sorry about that, guys....)

Pronunciations...
ermmm... (sweatdrop) the only way I can think of to give Japanese pronunciations is in relation to Latin because Latin vowels more reliably map to Japanese vowels than American/British vowels do, particularly when trying to come up with words that won't sound different in different accents. Um. Let me see...

and Japanese doesn't have built-in stresses either... ummm...

I think Tsukiyama's got the best description of how to say Rion -- like Leon only with Japanese r/l instead of a definite L...

Kanou is, um... ka - no with a longer o sound... and the a is more like the o in long than most American concepts of the letter a. ^^;;; If you've sung church Latin, it's like that...

I don't know how to read how Jadey's using ow - it's not supposed to be "ow" like "ouch". It's more like the word "owe" - long O sound, both in Kanou and in Suou...

^^;;; I don't know if I'm helping or making it worse...

Oh yeah -- there are 2 color images, the cover and the poster that someone linked to... I don't remember for sure what's printed on the back side of the poster, I seem to think it's a color ad for a bunch of Yuki Kaori stuff...

If folks want, I can scan the cover and the poster, but be warned that the ones in the magazine are highly typed-upon for advertising purposes... ^^;;

Ah the story is getting more and more interesting. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[Lady Elanor]

Yeah please some big scans for me! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hey, stuffs happening!

I cant help but think, that if krankenhaus had set up in my neighbourhood, the only thing I'd be complaining about would be my swift financial ruin...

[tenjou_sama]

I'm with you tsukiyama! I wish there was one of those clubs around where I live....expecially with 'hosts' like that [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

[Lady Elanor]

Great story! Wow, this is so good! There has to be more!

Yuki-sensei has shown us again that she draws and writes the best Manga stories ever! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Now that the rest of the story has been posted, I can talk about it without worrying about spoilers ^^

I've seen lots of ways to portray vampires, and Kaori Yuki's idea is very interesting. Instead of being scared of the crosses (as in Buffy the Vampire Slayer), or having no real effect on them (Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles), the crosses act like a seal, controling their power and bloodlust. That bit of the story surprised me. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

There are so many directions Kaori can take this story, that I'll be surprised if she doesn't continue. Each vampire has their own backstory, and plus there's the mystery of Ellone. Are her and Rion relly the same person? Who is Ellone, really, and what happened between her and Suou? Why do the vampires have to drink all her blood? Where did Suou and the others go? What

Obviously this story has left me with many questions, and I want answers!! XD
