As of today, all 27 manga chapters and 43 episodes of Saint Tail have been fully retranslated from scratch! Please click here to check it out!

This project started at around the beginning of July, so I have to admit that it's quite the feeling to have finally finished all of the translation work! To be honest, I was a bit self-conscious about how the unusual release schedule and the abnormally extensive documentation would be received, but we've gotten quite a few supportive comments, so thank you so much!

(Look, it's just really hard to make a claim like "almost every page of the manga has wordplay or some kind of metaphor, meaning previous English translations lost almost a whole half of the plot and made the entire ending and epilogue come off as saying the opposite of what they're actually supposed to" unless you have sufficient evidence to make a case for it...)

It may not be exaggeration to say that this has probably been the most challenging translation I've ever tackled to date, even though the deceptively simple plot doesn't make it come off as that kind of series at first glance, so I hope all of the effort that the rest of the team and I put into it can come through and that people can enjoy it as much as possible.

In regards to future plans: I want to take a look at some more of Tachikawa's works (I made a post about this earlier, but none of her other work has been treated well in translation), as well as perhaps some other magical girl series that need translation love. But I can't make any explicit promises, especially since I'd have to juggle it with a huge backlog of other stuff...and also, I need a break after almost six months straight of this 😅 I'm off to enjoy the rest of the winter holiday, and I hope you all do too. If you do decide to check out the series with the new translation in the meantime, I'd definitely be really happy if you posted reactions 😊

why are there so many 90s shojo manga that boil down to thief stealing art in a town that clearly wants to be Europe. There might be magical girls

Kaitou Saint Tail - The Cutes Phantom Thief Ever

I am a huge fan of Phantom Thieves but sadly, there are not many animes featuring them (even less as protagonists)

I absolutely couldn't resist when I saw the ref pic of this pose. It was too beautiful not to use.

Here's the OG pic. I have absolutely no idea where it is from but she is absolutely gorgeous.

(She also kinda reminds me of Zatanna)

From left to right: Saint Tail winking with a hand by her face, Homura Akemi with one hand to her chest and a blank expression, Sailor Moon/Princess Serenity with her hands held out towards the viewer, Cure Rhythm from Suite PreCure smiling and giving a peace sign, and Princess Tutu smiling with one leg up and one arm over her head, standing en pointe. The background is light grey with white lace border, soft circles, and sparkles. End ID.]

If I had a nickel for every Early Magical Girl manga I've read where the main girl is a Catholic schoolgirl who moonlights as a good guy phantom thief, and who is hotly pursued by a wannabe cop her own age, and the Japanese author clearly wanted to lean heavily into the Christian themes despite having only a passing familiarity with Christianity ... I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's still strange that it's happened twice.

Round 1, Match 16

[Image description: a versus graphic of Saint Tail/Meimi Haneoka from Saint Tail and Blue Cat/Yuni from Star⭐️Twinkle Pretty Cure. Saint Tail has a long red ponytail and is wearing a pink dress with a wine-colored bodice and matching tights. She’s floating to the viewer’s right through space. Blue Cat has bright blue pigtail braids and is wearing a royal blue dress, top hat, gloves, and glasses. She’s angled away from the viewer, but she’s twisted to the right and is smiling and gesturing with her far hand. /End description]

Here's a pet project I've been working on for the past few months: a full retranslation of the 1994-1996 phantom thief/magical girl series Saint Tail, both the manga and the anime! This is a series that has had quite a bit of a troubled localization history: every official English release of both the manga and the anime has been full of severe story-damaging translation problems, ranging from semantic error mistranslations to destroying most of the double-meaning wordplay and foreshadowing.

If you've read/watched this series before, I would heavily recommend you try it again with the new translation, because you may be surprised to find that it is a very different series from how previous translations had presented it as! A full explanation of the problem is on the project page, but to put it simply, there's an incredible amount of depth and nuance that had gotten completely lost, and the main reason I started this project was to give this series the proper chance it deserved.

Currently, we've finished the full manga (24 main chapters plus 3 extra chapters) and the 24 anime episodes that were adapted directly from the manga. I'll be continuing to put out the 19 remaining anime filler episodes one by one, so be sure to follow the project progress for updates if this series interests you!

Well, it took way longer than it probably should have, but H.C. has finally finished her rewritten version of the Saint Tail manga analysis (both first and second halves)! The analysis has been completely reworked from the ground up -- only about 5% of the text is directly from the old versions -- and is much more thorough and cohesive than before, using the recently retranslated version as a base and prioritizing analysis over recap. (Although it may repeat itself a little too much. I apologize about that -H.C.)

A version more geared towards the anime is still in the works, since H.C. wants to give it the treatment it properly deserves, but that one will be a little while longer. But she would still like to finish it before the end of the year, and until then, please enjoy the new and improved manga analysis (and we're very, very sorry for the wait!)

Mini Mahou March Year 4 Week 1

Hey everyone and welcome to the third week of Mini Mahou March! You can find the main post for the event here X.

The Prompt for the week of March 2nd-8th is…

Hime Lolita Phantom Thief/Kaitou!

The sub-genre of magical girls that needs more love, the phantom thief has a long history of non-magical girl entries such as Lupin and Magic Kaitou. MGs include Shadow Lady, Saint Tail, Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, and the recent Phantomirage.

Magical girl Kaitou often steal with good purpose- returning stolen goods like Saint Tail, or exorcising demons like Jeanne. With a much smaller pool of inspiration to draw from, there is very little consistency in designs for these characters, although they always have a way to make a quick escape. They often leave behind a calling card, sometimes as a form of cheeky flirting with their officer rival.

Hime Lolita, or Princess Lolita. If you know magical girls you probably know Lolita fashion- Rococo inspired, distinct silhouette, frilly and feminine. Hime lolita is extra frilly and a bit more mature with a lighter color pallet.

I’m only looking for a visual character design, something as simple as a single fullish-body picture, but you are more than welcome to go as wild as you want with trinkets, backstory, information, alt outfits, all that good stuff. Also I say girl but girl boy nb other as long as it’s a magical humanoid gender be damned, thumbs up. (Also nothing 18+ please. Your characters can be, just not your art for this)

Make your post and tag me before end of day March 8th (11.59EST) and I will be re-blogging participants here next Sunday/early Monday, with everything tagged Mini Mahou March.

Saint Tail uses stage magic to distract while stealing stolen goods and returning them to their proper owner while leaving calling cards for her crush who is the detective trying to catch her. Shadow Lady uses a magic eye shadow pallet to transform into different forms depending on the color, and steals, well, for fun until the plot happens, while the local cop is in love with her thief form. Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne transforms with assistance from her mascot to remove demons from pieces of art which makes the art disappears, and her rival is transformed boy who wants to stop her (and her best friend is the obligatory cop) D.N.Angel is the long accept magical boy, and he transforms into his older alter ego to steal magical artifacts made by the ancestor of the obligatory cop who has his own magical alter ego and there’s a love square.

So uh. Complicated romances & police enemies with possible overlap in those categories, transformations range from ‘new dress’ to ‘new body’, stealing is good sometimes. It’s not my fault there aren’t more Kaitou MGs we deserve this sub-genre c’mon Toei. Pierrot? Anyway there’s always non magical girl kaitou like Skye from Harvest Moon or whatever is happening in Persona 5. Masks are generally not a magical girl thing beyond proto-senshi and a couple of weirder male-target series, but it is a thief thing so your call.

Robin Hood Lolita? Scarlet Pimpernel but Frilly? How many weird thief tools is she hiding under her big skirt? Are the ribbons removable to use as getaway ropes? How fancy is that kaitou mask? Maybe some wings- with bows?
