Manga Translations of Kimagure Orange Road
Below you'll find links to each chapter of the manga for Kimagure Orange Road. The translations were done by Craig Nishida, and I've posted every word of the translations he put together. Occasionally, you'll find comments from me as well, which are marked <like this... -CR>. But they won't come up too often, because I don't want to distract from Craig Nishida's excellent work. At the bottom of this page are the complete credits as documented by Craig. If you have any comments regarding the translations, please direct your comments to him.
Bookmark this page. The links go to text based pages, not HTML, so you may not be able to find your way back to this contents page. Even if you can with no problem, Bookmark this page anyway, because I doubt even the fastest reader (and I'm fast myself) can get through this in one sitting.
Enjoy!
This is the final word on the scripts generated by the KOR-trans project.
