Wow, thanks. I totally forgot about that. Actually I just tried changing the first 1 into a 2 in the URL and it seems like the second part is also on here! These are going straight into my Kindle.

edit: Oh, there's actually 4 parts on here. All together these are still just the 上巻?

Yeah, they're all just the first volume. You'll have to buy the second half.

Just out of curiousity Orenronen,

I've been watching the LP which has been amazing, and I've really wanted to try the game out for myself.

Problem is I don't have a PSP. Have you seen anything about any plans to release the game on other platforms? 3DS, PC, anything at all?

As much as I wish I could, I can't go throwing down money on a PSP just for these two games.

Thanks, and keep up the outstanding work on your LP!

The first game is out on the iPhone/iPad now.

The amount of sex jokes was also increased tenfold, but they were funny so I don't care. Though for the life of me I don't know how I'm going to translate the several relevant occurrences of 逝く.

This is old, but translate "go" as "come" when they're talking about cumming rather than going. Easy as that. I have a feeling the J-punk girl makes a lot of those jokes.

The character introduction suggests that the cook is a pervert, so that's another candidate.

That's not it, though - the word, with the kanji given, is a not very often used way to say "die". It just sounds like 行く.

Let's actually give you the entire scenario and see if anyone can figure out a clever way to do it without changing the entire thing. This is from memory, so it may not be exactly right, but still. The spoilers are as light as I could make them - they don't really reveal anything significant.


Discussing death by stubbing during the school trial. A girl who sometimes has a strange way with words (that is, she's most certainly not doing this on purpose for the pun) and a somewhat lecherous guy.

Girl: "I would've died too if I had something this long stuck in me.", using the archaic verb "iku", meaning "to die". Unfortunately, "iku" is also slang for "to cum", as you're probably aware.
Guy: "Would you mind repeating that?"
Girl: "I would've died too if I had something this long stuck in me."
Guy: "Just one more time, please, so I can record it."

MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR


Did you mean stabbing?

If so, you could make it about how much blood there was, only the speaker just refers to how much their body would have expelled liquid or such instead of actually referring to expelling blood directly.

That would preserve the joke, but it would make the conversation slightly tortured. There's no good, clean way of doing it in English, really.

EDIT: An alternative would be to use the word enraptured. Aside from referring to experiencing great joy, it also refers to the whole Rapture thing where you are carried up to God. Similar double connotation if you read into it, but again: it's tortured.

EDIT 2: ...I am making this too difficult. She could just say a variation of "I would be going to Heaven too". It doesn't immediately mean "orgasm", but the joke would still be instantly obvious to English speakers as soon as she mentioned the long object.

Girl: "I would've gone over the edge too, if I had something this long stuck in me."

It's a slightly stilted phrasing for both meanings, which may not necessarily be a bad thing, if the character is the sort to use archaic verbs in normal parlance. It probably enhances the 'hold it, did she just say what I think she said?' factor, if subtly.

Honestly, I think it's good as it is. Less astute readers may not get the full double entendre, but they'll still pick up on the "something this long stuck in me" in a "that's what she said" kind of way. And the whole point of the joke is the sex-tinged double-meaning anyway.

All the variations seem to be sacrificing verisimilitude for the sake of the joke.

Agreed; here I thought it was some kind of weird obscure Japanese pun that relies on one's knowledge of cherry blossom metaphors, but as it is, it sounds blatant enough.

There was a Dangan Ronpa event in Tokyo today where they announced not one but four different SDR2 manga serializations, each approaching the story from a different direction. Also, figures from the Good Smile Company, most likely Nendroids. Characters and more details to be announced at a later date (I would love a Syo/Fukawa Figma with a changeable face...)

This series is going to drain my wallet.

You might want to spoiler the Syo part of that post.

I'd love to get a Celes figure, but I don't like Figmas and Nendoroids that much. It always feels like a waste of a good character design to me.

What about going the other way? Instead of making the cum/die pun, you go with stabbing/penetration like:

"If you stuck that thing in me, I'd never be able to handle it." or something.

That's kinda what you had, but trying to keep the original pun might get awkward. Er, moreso.

Translation's kinda fun. Wish I knew a second language.

That might be a bit better. This particular one twinges me because I know there must be an elegant way to frame and that particular innuendo is right up my alley but I just can't figure it out.

In the original quote she emphasized both length and thickness, right? So maybe something like: 'Getting penetrated by something that long and thick would've finished anyone off!'. Sounds kinda stilted of course, but the way that character speaks isn't exactly grammatically correct either so....

Incidentally, that was probably one of my favourite exchanges of the game... made me chuckle quite a bit. Not easy to translate well though!

I think it's just best to leave the pun out of it, though. As others said a straight "If I had something this long and thick stuck in me I'd die too" gets the spirit of the line better than any attempt to force a pun in.

And, yeah, the silly sex jokes were great. What cracked me up the most was 男の尻尾.

I'm sort of tiptoeing around this thread (and the LP thread as well) because the game seems so fascinating to me, that I want to play it for myself. I don't really want to read too much on either thread, but is it true that there's a team that's working on getting the actual game itself translated? I'd kind of love to be able to play this for myself, just because the concept seems really cool/insane.

I just got the DR2 soundtrack, which is easily worth 3000 yen. It's on 3 CDs, has 102 tracks (though a few are the slightly remixed DR1 tracks that are in the second game), and is just fantastic.

Also, I'm glad I read the Amazon reviews or I'd have never found out (DR2 character name and music spoilers) that the back-side of the little cardboard sleeve in the case has the lyrics for Ibuki Mioda's song, which are pretty much indecipherable otherwise. Those are some lyrics!. Also, the 8- and 16-bit versions of the investigation theme are going to be on constant loop for the foreseeable future.

Good to know that Ibuki actually sings something, I wish we could see some of Yamada's or Fukawa's works in the game. Or would that be way too awkward? At least there's Maizono, she's supposed to sing, too.

I'm not entirely sure if this is a spoiler or not, but it seems to be, so I'm bringing up something from the DR2 translation discussion here from the LP thread. Continuing on what I said about keeping the style consistent with DR1, if some of the cast comes back for DR2 it would be reaaally weird if they started to talk with a different voice all of a sudden.
