Well, this, the translation of Chapter Two of Ukyou Kodachi’s Macross Delta novel, The Girl of Al Shahal, took a little longer than I thought… for me, writing (and ESPECIALLY translating) is a lot like going to the gym… if I overdo it one day, it takes a few days to recover. And boy, did I ever overdo it in trying to get this done by the time the final episode aired.
So yeah, I didn’t make my self-imposed deadline, but it’s done now, and might help you to recover a bit from Post-Delta-Depression.
I literally finished the chapter about half an hour ago, so I haven’t proofread it or anything. I’m sure there are tons of typos that I’ll find as I go over it more over the next few days. They should corrected by the time I finish Chapter Three, whenever that may be (I’m guessing sometime in November).
Anyway, enjoy!

This is great! Thank you for doing this. I always felt the naked body scene was odd and your translation of the novel version makes what it was supposed to convey so much better.

Thank you for your hard work! I was really looking forward to this. These translations help soothe the void that the Anime ending has left me. I’m going to miss waking up to a new episode every Sunday. 😭

Thank you very much!! I’ve been searching for the translations of the novel manga! I’ll be patiently waiting for the other chapters 🙂
Btw, do you know where I can read the manga? I wanted to buy it but in my country its cost is pretty high :I

You’re asking the wrong guy. I’m ALWAYS going to tell you (or anyone) to actually BUY the merchandise.
I don’t think you can truthfully call yourself a fan otherwise.

Thanks for the translations so far, started to listen love halation the war and ikenai borderline as I was reading this. It reminded me of the same excitement and happiness I felt when I watched the preview/first episode.

Just recently found out about these translations! Thanks a lot for these. I’ll be the first to admit that Delta was a bit of a let down in the entire grand scheme of Macross universe… but I found myself really pulled into it anyway, probably because of the different cultures it introduced us to in the span of the entire series. So a novel that gives a peek into its world(s) is a treat to read. 🙂
Curiously, have you heard that they’re putting out a new Macross animé next year? Already??
