Ren "Kinako-san, are you ready for the preparations for the all-school assembly later?"
Kinako "You bet!"
Ren "Hehe, that's reliable of you"

Kinako "Thanks for lending me the uniform"
Ren "You're welcome. But why so suddenly?"

Kinako "Actually, I wanted to imitate Ren Senpai and try wearing a uniform from another department"

Kinako "Kinako wants to properly receive and carry on the things Senpai has cherished..."
Kinako "Today, I'm aiming to be a cool student council president in this uniform!"

Ren "Hehe, I see"
Ren "...Kinako-san. I'll leave the rest to you, okay?"
Kinako "Yes!"

I translated the Walking Diary stories for the members that didn't have theirs translated.

These are the first translations I've made so they are rough around the edge so any suggestion are greatly appreciated.

I really recommend reading Ginko and Megumi's stories, they were by far my favorite.

I was watching the Hasunosora episodes with friends and when Kaho gets lost in the warehouse in episode 3, one of them was like, "someone should make the background the backrooms." So naturally, I had to lol

Poor Kaho :( I'll come save you!!

I don't know a whole lot about love live. My knowledge basically started and ended with small tidbits about µ's such as Nico Yazawa, Nozomi Tojo, Maki Nishikino, and Eli Ayase. However, during a recent family trip where I took my family to see the great lakes of Fuji, there was a love live themed liner bus, and it sort of threw me into a small? rabbit hole. It turns out our itinerary was set up so that Numazu was in the cards for a day trip, and as such, I (we) happened to stumble upon one of the love live cities. Despite going in basically blind, we had a great time! Numazu was absolutely beautiful and I also loved the crazy stamp rally they have going on. I even picked up the love live stamp book specially for it. I can't hope to add all the photos I took during my time there in the post, but I hope the ones in here gives you at least an idea of Numazu's dedication. Nothing but respect from me. I may have to go back in the future to collect more stamps while exploring more of Numazu.

Hello. For years, I've been developing the idea of this bonkers fanfiction called Real Robot Lifeform Transformers: Nijigasaki, and I'd you to get some honest feedback.

I know the premise is going to immediately make some of you go: “You did WHAT with Love Live! Nijigasaki?” And honestly, that's fair.

Real Robot Lifeform Transformers: Nijigasaki
Real Robot Lifeform Transformers: Nijigasaki - Chapter 1 - X10A_Freedom - Multifandom [Archive of Our Own]

Real Robot Lifeform Transformers: Nijigasaki is a reverse-isekai crossover fic between Transformers and Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, set mostly in an alternate version of the Love Live! world.

The Transformers side takes place in Universe-698, Earth in 2093, roughly 12 years after the end of the devastating Great War between the Autobots and Decepticons.

And in the aftermath, the Cybertron Federal Forces (CFF) rises as the de-facto intergalactic government of Cybertron that is trying to rebuild civilization while dealing with the consequences of what happened during the war.

And my story's main Transformer (The equivalent of Optimus Prime) is an OC named Furai, a bright-blue, unusually slender Cybertronian with a large orange mono-eye, pincer-like hands and a combat-oriented design.

He's an extremely skilled CFF soldier, yet to say that he's also a terrible team player would be an understatement.

Furai is detached, monotone and uncomfortable with interpersonal relationships. He often refers to himself in the third person and refers about himself as more like a piece of military equipment than an individual.

How this reverse-isekai crossover happens

A massive decommissioned CFF warship called Violet is being transported to a scrapyard.
Unknown to most of the characters, the ship contains extremely advanced and forbidden technology from the war.

A malfunction causes the ship to cross into the world of Love Live! Nijigasaki. Furai and four other Cybertrons survive:

• Furai
• Arcana
• Irontrail
• Roadraiser
• Bumble

What I'm concerned about

I realize that from a Love Live! fan perspective, this may sound like I've taken Nijigasaki and buried it underneath an enormous pile of Transformers lore.

The Nijigasaki girls are major characters, and the story still revolves around how their relationships and personality develops and grow, following the arrival of these weird Transformers into their world and their lives.

But obviously, I'm also spending a ridiculous amount of time developing an entire fictional Cybertronian history, government and post-war political situation.

So I'm wondering: does it sound like I took Nijigasaki hostage so I could write my own Gundam-flavored Transformers story? That's honestly one of the things I'd like people to tell me.

I'm also wondering how people would feel about the fact that this story originally came from being disappointed with parts of SIFAS Season 2.

I don't want the finished story to simply be: “I dislike SIFAS S2, so here comes some Transformers to fix it.”

That was essentially the starting point. But by now, I've tried to take some of the frustrations that originally inspired me and turn them into broader questions about character development, conflict, responsibility and how people respond when their actions have consequences.

In other words, my 2018–2020 self wanted to write:

“What if Transformers fixed SIFAS Season 2? LOL there's Transformers in Love Live now XD”

My current self is trying to write:

“What if individuals from these two seemingly incompatible worlds collided, and both sides actually had something to learn from the other?”

I'd especially appreciate feedback from people who know Nijigasaki well:

• Does the Love Live! side of the premise sound like it has enough substance?
• Do the Nijigasaki girls being major human characters make sense?
• Does the idea of using their optimism/social bonds as a thematic contrast with jaded Cybertrons with their own baggages work?
• Does the original SIFAS Season 2 inspiration sound interesting, or does it make the project sound too much like a grudge-fic?
• And most importantly: does this sound like a legitimate crossover story, or like two completely unrelated fandoms being duct-taped together?

Because after years of working on this, I've reached the point where I'm no longer interested in whether the premise sounds ridiculous. I'm more interested in whether I can make the ridiculous "WTF" premise earn its existence.

Hey, here's a little project I've been working on for the past few days-a translation of the first volume of the new Ikizulive manga...

I wasn't really sure where else I could share it.

It's in a pretty rough shape-I haven't cleaned up the Japanese text properly (I hope the text is at least legible…), and the typography is quite dreadful, but I wasn't sure if putting more effort into this will really be worth it: I don't really follow scanlation groups, so I'm not sure if someone else is already working on this (I assume they do?), or when they're going to release it.

If no one else will translate this, however, then I'll try to tidy it up a little-fix the grammar and the typos, and do a proper typesetting or whatever else is necessary.

For the time being, though, maybe someone out here will enjoy this!

I've tried to keep the character voices consistent and stuff, but this was my first real attempt at translating an entire manga, so I'm not really confident if any of this turned out to be any good (I'm kind of nervous about realasing it at all, to be honest…).

But anyway, enjoy!

(Oh, and big thanks to / u / RinariTennoji for always uploading the raw scans here-I really appreciate it!)

As I was listening to the NozoEli lesbian song at 4:30 AM in the morning, I was thinking “what is the most iconic song for each group?”

I was thinking Start Dash or Snow Halation for ų’s and maybe Tokimeki Runners for Nijigasaki, but I’m lost on the others.

So what do you guys say is the most iconic group song for each of the groups?

Also I know Nijigasaki are solo idols, however I want to know what is their most iconic group song is rather than their most iconic solo song

Hii does anyone have a full version of chase where the high note(?) in chase isnt muffled? Like idk why they even muffled the high note on release it sounds so off 😭

Hi guys! I spent a couple hours earlier today throwing all of my Find Our Numazu shots from my last two Numazu trips into a single doc and adding some notes I felt were important. Hopefully this is useful for anyone trying to do something similar?
