On some occasion she had a dream she wants to achieve no matter what….. But what should she do to achieve her dream despite her bad grades? Then came Makoto Ichiyanagi. A classmate of hers who is taciturn with glasses, though good in studying, he has a poor social disposition. He is always by the window, scarcely giving of his presence, She dubbed him as the “God of Study” She requested him to help her in her studies. And as a result, Madoka’s grades improved from the study method Makoto taught. Meanwhile, on the other direction, Makoto’s shyness gradually gets cured through his contact with Madoka. This is a subtle love story of two dull youth in their spring.
This seems interesting, and the prologue was easy to translate MTL+guesslate. Why I haven't found this before... I've translated the prologue here...dunno if it's good. ------------------------ Prologue The God By The Window The national language class after lunch is the most sleepy period. Most of the students fell asleep, and the teacher too has given up reading the textbooks. Alone amid all that, he was sitting straight. However, it was a beautiful attitude, or rather a natural posture; one that didn’t seem forced With calm and delightful expression, looking at the textbook, writing on the textbook. His line of sight is very focused, somewhat gentle. Sunlight from the windows wrapped around him. Like that, dazzling and warm. Like shouldering a halo, under the eye of affection, like the figure of Maria. Somewhat divine, a tranquil love. For some reason or another, he seemed like a god. I wonder if he likes studying. Or else, I wonder if there is anything good. For some reason or another, watching him from here, I seem to feel happy. I want to ask. What you are looking at, is it different from what I see? Also, I want you to tell me…. ------------------------ I wanted to pick this up though with meager amount of Japanese, but need to ask first, @canaria23 what do you mean by "loliquent translated it up chapter 9 before he disappeared and taking the translation along with him"? Is the translation up to chapter nine has disappeared at all? I noticed, loliquent's wordpress has gone too...
Okay then...I'll start again from the beginning. Hopefully some chapter will up by this weekend. Thanks for the info ^^
