the face of the moon

So, this is a new project as part of my ongoing endeavor to become functionally literate in Japanese. Translation!



I downloaded this book from aarinfantasy and, tbh, I don't even know what it's about. The cover leads me to believe it's some kind of high fantasy adventure, and getting it off of aarinfantasy leads me to believe there's going to be BL in here somewhere. Other than that, idk. So, we'll see. Might be fun :D?

( The Corruption of the Sun and Moon by Takaoka Mizumi, illustrations by Minase Masara )

Notes: So, it turns out my approach to name transliteration is pretty haphazard. I mainly just played around with different letter combinations until I came up with things I found aesthetically pleasing. :X Eh, whatev, katakana representations of made-up faux-Western-sounding fantasy names are kind of a lost cause to begin with IMO.

Reading back over this, lol wow, my translations suck. Really stilted, and I'm having all sorts of tense problems. And I feel like there's an overabundance of random capitalization. Well, I guess that's the point right? You can't improve at anything without practice.

Naturally, if anyone reading this speaks better Japanese than I do, then by all means feel free to comment on my doubtlessly legion mistakes.
