When They Translate
August 2nd, 2009, by in Translation
It appears that MangaGamer will be continuing onwards in their translation of Higurashi no Nakukoro ni without the help of Sonozaki Futago-tachi, according to the twins’ latest post on their blog. However, MangaGamer does seem to be serious about the translation, and has modified their translation workflow for Higurashi. Furthermore, it also appears that the license given to MangaGamer for creating an English translation of Higurashi happens to not be exclusive. Therefore, Sonozaki Futago-tachi will also be continuing their own translation project.
