The Age of Yuri is upon us!!


There was a thread on /u/ (previous post also refers to this) where I asked why people would pay to have things translated and offered to translate for free instead, and there was some discussion etc. Anyway, Sny was criticized for being slow, especially with the (too few) yuri releases. This is of course true. We have been horribly slow. And not done enough yuri. A part of the problem is that I do/did not have any good raws and that no one suggested anything. It ended up with me promising to translate a simoun doujinshi and post the translation on /u/ instead of our editors spending forever on it. I also once again requested that people send suggestions and raws.

And someone did. A kind gentleman sent the links to no less than 10 yuri doujinshi. I say we do all of them. I am sure many would like me to just post the script on 4chan and let others do the editing, instead of waiting forever on one of our editors. I however, prefer to release them in the usual way because we can then offer a finished product which I have control over, I can check for errors and make changes etc. So here is what we will do; we will try to release in the usual way, but if I have finished scripts laying around and no available editor who can edit, I promise to post the scripts here and on 4chan.

We will finish what we are already working on, but we will not start on anything else before finishing these. If anyone knows that any of them has already been done, then please tell us.
They are as follows:

Lucky Star:
Hiyorin break
Hiyorin strike
Hiyorin revenge
Lucky cho

Marimite:
Houses of the holy
If

Aria:
Aquarius
Orange plant

R.O.D - Poyopacho Desuyo

Simoun - chiisana tamanegi no ki no shita de

The one I am working on now and will post on /u/ is based on Simoun and called inori no uta.

Are you actually going to do this? Would love to see some of the Lucky Star yuri stuff translated.

If you're looking for better raws, I have all four you've listed in 1600 res HQ scans, comment here or on /u/ if you don't have them already.
