This journal is now a semi-friends journal. What does that mean? All present translation entries,  drama CD download  entries, and  volume extra entries have been friends-locked. All future translation or summary entries, volume extras, and drama CD entries will be friends-locked.

What?

That means only LJ members who I myself have added to my friends list can view those entries now and in the future.

But why?
Also, due to my set dates, new entries will not appear on your Friends' page. If you want to read the latest summaries, you'll need to come directly to the journal. 

I created this account separate from my usual account. It's a journal that contains summaries of the works by Minami Maki. So if you're looking for summaries of Special A, Seiyuu ka-!, and upcoming manga by Minami-sensei, here is the place.

~S.A Chapter summaries (chapters 94-99 + 2011 oneshots) 
~S.ATranslations (fan book extras)
~Seiyuu ka! (chapters 2-46, omitting chapters 23-26 and 40-41)
~One-shot stories

My original Sorasan blog is here~~~~~~~~~~~~~

RULES:  

-  If you post any of these summaries anywhere, please give me credit in the post unless the summaries are by another person and I just happened to post a link to them. (Yes, I have an ego problem. Who cares? I don't want to be accused of stealing my own translations and summaries...yes, it's happened before.)

- If you want to use any translations on this journal, please inform me beforehand. I'd like to update any translations if necessary, and I would like to know my translations are being used.

(Icon is relevant...RELEVANT....XD)

I shall give more information on this chapter when I see it. 

This issue of ZA HanaYume also comes with an S.A furoku. 

I don't know what to call these. "Oneshot"? "2011 oneshots"?

I am making this available for the public to read because...it's Special A.

I feel like I must repeat it, uwa. This was released back in June. This is not the 2nd oneshot that was released today.

( A bride, a groom, and a demon )

The 19th issue of Hana to Yume announced that the 2nd oneshot of Special A this year will be in the 11/1 ZA Hana to Yume issue, which will be released September 26th. It will be 34 pages long.

The first one shot was released June 26th. ...Yes, yes, I know. Where is it? I joined up with Omari's Sister's group to release the first one shot. I had the scans to translate, and they were going to clean the scans for me to typeset. The original plan was to release it by the beginning of August, but plans changed. I have not heard from them lately.

If the oneshot has already been released by someone else, by all means please post a link so I can direct people to it.

This was shot when Minami Maki went to Taiwan for a Seiyuu ka-! signing event on the 12th this month. I don't know Chinese, but all I needed was SENSEI!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Realizing I've been updating Seiyuu ka various places but here, I have updated this journal with links to summaries and translations for chapters 27-42. There are chapters missing, I know. Scanlations are catching up to those missing (like ch.23-26), so there won't be a huge wait. 

The first chapter in 2 years was published in ZA Hana to Yume's 8/1; June 25th issue. At the end of that oneshot, an announcement was made that S.A will make another appearance in the next ZA Hana to Yume issue.

The first oneshot is currently being scanlated.

 I have only one request, as stated in the rules entry, if you're going to use any translations from this journal. Please inform me beforehand. That way I can go back and update those translations. Translations from ch.17-22 are rough. And I mean really rough. No "small text here" no "though bubble here", and there are huge translation mistakes, too. At the time I first typed them up, I was only focusing on getting them up as soon as possible and didn't care if I made huge mistakes. 

Translating for scanlations is a different issue. I'd prefer them to be more accurate than my "skim jobs". 

- First, translations of chapters 18-19 have been replaced by more accurate translations. 

Provided below are the links to chapter 30 and 31 summaries of Seiyuu ka on my other journal. Senri-Hime spazzes should check 'em out.

chapter 30 and 31

The Chinese scans are up for ch.30, as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have finally received the ZA special short for Seiyuu ka. It's about Ume (and Shou). I'm planning on releasing a scanlation version of it sometime in the future

 These have already been posted to my sorasan0000  livejournal. 


( under here )

It's official now. The 2nd drama CD for Seiyuu ka has been shipped out to those who ordered it and now it's up for Yahoo auction. I'm freaking out right now!!! SOMEONE MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD!!!!!!!!



BTW, here's the cast for this one:

* Hime Kino: Yuu Asakawa (same as first)
* Mizuki Haruyama: Jun Fukuyama (new)
* Ume Ichijou: Kana Hanazawa (new)
* Senri Kudou: Tomokazu Sugita (same as first)
* Tsukino Todoroki: MAKO (same as first)
* Shou Takayanagi: Junji Majima (same as first)
* Mitchel Zaizen: Daisuke Namikawa (same as first)

Jun-Jun as Mizuki....heh heh...

This CD includes an extra omake by Minami Maki about Ume's dream while she was creating the video the 4 dropouts ended up doing a dub for. This CD includes Tsukino's character song as well. I've heard a sample of Tsukino's song. She kinda sounds like Yuko Goto when she sang S.A's first OP song.

The last chapter left on a cliffy. Everything is resumed in this chapter. Not to mention it'll be the final chapter in volume 4. When chapter 24 comes out, volume 5 will begin~! WOW, so fast...
