Hope I'm not bothering and so happy i found this wonderfull series!

Demian Syndrome discussion [POSSIBLE SPOILERS]

2008-05-19T11:25:40Z

I don't know if this is the proper place but, I felt a strong urge to start a discussion in this community especially with the release on the full 11th chapter of Demian Syndrome which, I believe, really brought out the "oki mamiya-ness" of the story.

To start with, the last chapter was really a turning point in the manga; a lot of things were revealed about Azuma and, the plot in general. However, what struck me the most is the last part regarding the determination of Jou to "prove himself". This seems to be a spiritual growth in the part of Jou as what one of the central theme of Demain (the original novel) is (please correct me if I'm wrong). Further more this exemplifies a deep bond of the two people (it's not merely puppy love or friendship, it's something deeper).

In any case, I'd appreciate it if anyone who read the actual novel give some input/feedback/thoughts.

Demian Maiden 2

2008-04-26T13:02:36Z

Hello!
I'm looking for japanese translator for doujinshi "Demian Maiden 2" (English/Russian).
Here is a test-page: http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/451/dm2007als1.jpg

Introduction

2008-04-16T02:37:20Z

Heya! I just joined this community (which by the way I think is a wonderful idea since Mamiya is a Goddess!) so I just thought I'd say hi and introduce myself and such :)

I was first introduced to Mamiya Oki last year sometime when I was browsing various shonen-ai and came across Demian Syndrome, which I fell in love with... and then from there I guess I became obsessed with Mamiya's works. Anyway, this community seems awesome and kudos to the gal who created it!

DS Crack! >=D

2008-03-25T21:33:58Z

I must be really bored or something. xD I can't write fanfiction and my drawings pretty much suck but...
since Demian Syndrome needs more love, here's some photoshop crack!

Yes crack! We need happiness amongst all the angst! =D
Yes, I did abuse Jo, ~~yes, I do enjoy abusing him~~ and I had fun with Kurachi too! =D

(Warning: Image spoilers for volume 3-4 and bad language)

Btw, images owned by Oki Mamiya, not me.

Err....fanart?

If DS was all happy!

Don't ask. >__>

Sorry if my grammar sucks. I swear I spelt whole ton of names wrong >.>

We have another home~

2008-03-15T00:13:29Z

We now have backup community at InsaneJournal HERE

It will serve as mirror and a place to go in case LJ makes even more "improvements". I'm sure you all read the news and know what I'm talking about. Check the news if you don't.

IJ is known for sensible TOS, old-LJ-like interface and lack of censorship of any kind. Let us all hope, however, that we won't have to move any time soon.

~~Right now backup community is empty and entries are moderated while I'm still working on it.~~ Entries transferred and posting access opened.
Membership is open so feel free to join.

*crosses fingers and hopes for the best*

Edit: Things are looking rather grim. They are censoring interest searches... Yup, yaoi is censored together with fanfiction. More info here D:

Demian Syndrome Scanlation Project

Demian Syndrome Scanlation Project

We all want our beloved DS to be scanlated faster, right? Meet the team then!

Oh wait, do we have a name yet, versine? XD

versine is coordinator and cleaner for this project, our generous scanner is lufjad, translators are inga_b and ah_chan, rusalkaz is your friendly ~~bitchy~~ editor.
Let's all get along~

Here's a sample page for those wanting to help:
http://www.divshare.com/download/3514552-c3b

Do your magic: level and clean it, remove all text from speech bubbles, resize to 1200 pixel height then save as .png with settings: PNG 8, 100% dither, 17 colors, grayscale, no transparency.

As ailtaylor helpfully reminded me: what to do with SFX? You are to leave large ones alone and try to clean small ones as cleanly as possible.

Post your proud creation in comments here~ :D
As versine said in previous post, we will gladly accept any help you can offer. What we desperately, desperately need right now is more cleaners!

P.S: to versine - are we going to use magazine or tankoubon scans? Because there are differences... The very scan I offered for test cleaning here looks different in tankoubon.

demian syndrome traslation

2008-01-08T04:53:19Z

Hi:

I´m writing just to try to put in words my bothers about the traslation of Demian Syndrome manga in a popular site.
I know it is some kind of unfair to complain in this journal, but i believe if i express my discomform in the other page, the manga could be in risk to down, due to little pacient of the traslater group.
Demian syndrome is a veryyyy slow proyect, really i don´t know they do it. I understand there are other priorities, however it almost a year they don´t translate even one chapter moreeeeeeeeeeee!!!.
In the forum they said, they don´t like continue because of the constant asking for more and more translating.
I didn´t ask i paciently waited for one new chapter , soo Christsmas passed, New year celebration passed, and actually my hopes are broken.
I propose we can do an alternative translation. I know a few photoshop program but i would like to help to continue the manga. Unlucky, i´m not a japanese speaker. If anyone are interesed i would love this proposition would be to put in debate.

Just a quick request :)

2007-12-22T13:49:07Z

So, every once in a while when I remember about it, I spend a couple hours trying to find some stuff on the internet about this one novel that sounds incredibly interesting but also completely impossible to read, as no one else seems to care and it's in Japanese.

But! I will try here, for more info. =)

Ao no Kiseki (which apparently translates to Locus of Blue?) is a science fiction yaoi novel written by Kinoh Chiaki that was illustrated by Mamiya Oki. Basically all the information I have about this novel is here: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~weyrbrat/fanfic/anime/blue/

I fell in love with the drawings of the main characters, which a friend had showed me, then looked up the origins and decided that the story sounded really nifty too. Unfortunately, all the info I have about it is very... vague.

Does anyone have definitive answers to the following:

Has the novel been translated, either officially or from a fan group? (I'm assuming no. Novels are much harder to translate than manga, just based on the massive difference in text amounts.)

There's a radio drama of it that has been released. Has this been translated or transcribed?

People keep referring to Locus of Blue/Ao no Kiseki as a manga, and crediting it to Mamiya Oki. Is there a manga version of this that I somehow haven't heard of, or something?

It's not completely unpopular on english-speaking sites, and does get mention, which gives me the impression that someone, somewhere, has managed to read the story. How, and how can I do the same?

Sorry for just kinda barging in on your community to ask you questions like this, heh, but I've been trying to find out about this off and on for... (holy fuck) almost four years now, I guess, and anything you guys might know about it would be greatly appreciated. =)

Thanks in advance. (Also, it looks really cool and if it is somehow available in an English version, is definitely worth checking out.)

I'm sure everyone is aware of new ~~hate wars~~ tool released by LJ admins. If you're not, go HERE.

As I see it, we have several options:

1. to leave community as it is (without age restrictions) and risk possible flagging for mature content
2. restrict it to "Adult Concepts" so as not to be viewed by anyone under age 14
3. restrict it to "Explicit Adult Content" making it accessible only by adults

View Poll: Default setting for community

Edit: Poll is closed. Thank you everyone who participated.

I'm hoping to see your opinions here. Second option seems most sensible to me so far... What do you think?

Oh and the whole system is based on the age you stated when creating LJ account afaik, so changing it later won't count.

Demian Syndrome v03 Summary

2007-08-31T14:58:31Z

Okay, I was sitting on this, and then finished it off in rather a hurry. Summary of Volume 3, with a bit of translating here and there. (2000+ words o_O) Pardon if it is incoherent at parts - I veered from trying to make it understandable even if you weren't sitting there with the manga propped open, to going eeeeh, it's no good without the pictures anyway.

( Over here! )

[request] Demian Syndrome Characters

2007-08-28T14:13:24Z

Dumb question, but I'm not fluent in japanese, sooooo.

...Could anyone give me a list of the characters' names in their original kanji format? By characters I mainly mean Takayama and Azuma, but any of the others would be nice too (esp. for future references). Thank you! ♥
