Doujinshi I translated

[AnoHito]

A few days ago I translated an online doujinshi for fun, but tonight I thought you guys might like to look at it, and if anyone is super good at Japanese they can help me perfect it. Anyway, the gag is pretty dumb, but I spent awhile translating this, so I thought I might as well get some recognition. Also, I like it because it's Legolas bashing in a way.

By the way, this was drawn by an amazingly talented artist known as theninefingers. Very talented. Anyhow...

Translation notes: I'm putting in the romanji so any Japanese speaking folks can edit, but on the kanji I forgot which reading I used, so I automatically put down the kun reading because I wrote down the actual accurate romanizing on another sheet of paper I can't find now...
Also, the fan with the red dot...it's the equivelant of an american flag swishing behind someone making a passionate but corny speech.

I told you it wasn't very funny...but anyhow, enjoy. This concludes Ano Hito's translating project number 1.

*twitch* Thats kinda, odd. It doesn't really make sense. Is Legolas sticking up for Aragorn, or dissing him?

Read your sig, and I agree. lol

[AnoHito]

Failiure Jailer is sticking up for Aragorn I think, but is instead embarassing him by revealing personal information (ie. the fact he's still a virgin)

[kaoru1215]

Its starting to come together now, but just one or two questions. My knowledge on Lord of the Rings is very small, so Failer Jailer is Legolas, right? Also, the word chastity also stands for virginity? I've been away from school too long.

[AnoHito]

Yep, pretty much.

I call Legolas the Failiure Jailer because it's implied he's not only responsible for the escape of 12 dwarves and a hobbit, but Gollum too. He isn't a warrior prince really because Thranduil keeps him sheltered. It's like those gen Xers who spank their kids because their hippie parents were too leniant. Ha ha.

[kaoru1215]

Oh, ok that makes sense. lol You are making me actually want to read Lord of the Rings just so I can understand who all these people are you are talking about. lol.

Heh, the smiley above looks like your avatar!

[AnoHito]

Yeah.

Another scary thing is that nearly everyone in the lord of the rings is related in some way.

You can connect Aragorn to Legolas, for example, or Aragorn to Boromir, and if you really want to do something crazy, try to link Eowyn with Legolas.

I've been told it can be done.

Oh, my goodness. Please tell me it isn't making the dirty joke that I am thinkin that it does.

[AnoHito]

The can't you see my hand part isn't really dirty. Have you seen the doujinshi itself?

As for the other parts...hmmm, I'll let you reach your own conclusions.

[RedElectra]

WOOOOOOW!

[AnoHito]

Is that a good "wow"?
