I will begin translating the light novel Madan no Ou to Vanadis (Lord Marksman and Vanadis).

Currently, Volumes 1 – 5 are only available as machine translations from Baka-Tsuki. I will be starting translating from Volume 1. I will use google translation for some sentences and jisho for tough to read kanji and meaning of some particular words. That said, the editing will be thorough so as to fit the original narration style.

While the anime adapts volumes 1 – 5, a lot of the world building had to be sacrificed in a single cour adaptation.

Human Translations for volumes 6 onwards are available through Baka-Tsuki (6,7), Setsuna Translation (8-13, and part of 14). Infinite Novel Translations has picked it up and is releasing quite regularly. Check them out! Also, see the novel-updates page for the latest updates.

I am new to translation and this is more of a hobby, so I expect to put out around 20 pages every month. Depending on my other commitments, I may have to decrease the speed. With time, I may increase the speed as well.

On a final note, you may ask why this novel? Well, I liked the anime, and have heard decent things about the novels. Seems like a good mix of politics with harem and mild ecchi. So I think it is worth a shot.

Wish me luck on this journey!
