Okay, I know you all want to see the stuff with Vash in, but since Sumire only translated some of the chapters and it actually makes a hell of a lot more sense if you follow things in order, I'm going to start from the beginning. So today you get chapter one.
As I've been translating this, I've figured out at least part of the reason why TriMax 10 took so damn long to come out. It's been edited since its appearance in YKO. There are a couple of things in Sumire's translations that aren't in my tankubon, and rather more things in my version that aren't in hers. Plus, there are a couple of pages so far where the description of what's happening fits, but the words are different. Not 'our translations differ' different, but 'bear absolutely no relation' different. And some of the chapter breaks are in very different places. Since Sumire has gaps in her chapter translations, I don't know how much of that is because new stuff has been added and how much is just shuffling around the subdivisions. My chapter 3, for instance, carries on for 15 pages beyond where Sumire's stops. The only other volume that I've been able to compare Sumire's YKO stuff with the compiled manga was TriMax 8, and I saw no changes there at all.
Interesting, methinks....
Most of you here already know where this plot is going. If you don't know, and you don't want to know, it would be a really good idea NOT to click on the link. The anvils start dropping early on.
