Zoku Kuusou Gendai (preliminary notes)

[wombat1138]

Managed to score a copy of the modern-AU sequel-- zoku just means "sequel/continuation". Hoping for it to show up in the mail within the next week or three. Interestingly, one summary describes it as Kiyosato/Tomoe as well as Kenshin/Kaoru, and iirc the initial set of modern-dress sketches (in Sakuragari?) did include versions of the first couple, so that'll be nice to see if they're in there. There is some brief Kiyosato/Tomoe (or in stricter parallelism, Akira/Tomoe) Bakumatsu-era smut in an earlier Yamaguchirow volume (and I think some portions of the non-smut "Violently Happy" series which I haven't seen), but I don't recall which one offhand, and (one would hope) ZKG will show them in a less tragic context.

Sounds very interesting and promising... But what should do the unlucky ones who do not have a copy? *sob-sob* Have you seen this doujinshi somewhere in the net?

Haven't seen any online scans of this yet-- or of "Ikun", for that matter. :|

Sob-sob *louder*
It's been a while when I did Kenshin translation - I miss them...

Oh! I'm so glad to see you thinking of translating this! Managed to snag a copy myself earlier this month and I think it'll be a pretty funny story. At least the first K/K part.

And if you want, I can answer the Tomoe/Kiyosato question...

Nah, I think I can stand the suspense for a few more weeks :)

Thought you might feel that way ;)

Well, the first story in Setsuen is Akira/Tomoe...and the fifth doujin in the Violently Happy series as well. That's about all, though, as far as I remember.

Ah. I remember a site that had translated everything in the Violently Happy series. It was years ago though. I wonder what happened to it.
And I would call you a 'translator' because you're actually good at it. KUDOS MADAM! YOU HAVE AWED ME! Translators are the stuff of legends. Like dragons, or something.
