Shaman King official fan book Mankin book translations
Darn. I wish I had this when I was writing mankin fics. It'd have made things a lot more accurate. And detailed.
I tried to scan a few of the pages, but my scanner is so slow! So, I'm only including some translations of a few parts. Have other people scanned or translated any of the fanbook? If so, please point me there~ (And I can give up trying to translate it myself)
First are the character interviews. Bleh, I wish I bought the Japanese version. I don't know why I bought the Chinese version. It makes translations less accurate. And the names don't make sense. But let's see how much of it I can translate. Wish I could find my manjiten to at least get the names right. =x
pg.20
Interview of Yoh
Q: Who gave you the name 'Yoh?'
A: My grandpa named me. I don't quite know why he gave me that name. It's easy to say and it's sort of like a greeting. Kind of cool, isn't it?
Q: In addition to Bob's music, what music do you listen to?
A: Recently I like listening to Steve Wonder's songs. It makes you feel peaceful. Dad has a lot of his records in his room, so it's very convenient.
Q: Why do you always wear sandals?
A: I don't always wear them, but then, I guess I do wear them for a long time. I know how to protect my things. Maybe some spirit will merge with my sandals in the future.
Q: What's your reason for liking Curry Udon? Is regular udon not good enough?
A: Actually, I like eating normal udon too. But I just can't resist that smooth taste of curry udon. Although, it's kind of hard to eat.
Q: Please tell me what type of girl you like!
A: I like gentle girls. Even though she doesn't seem like it, Anna's actually really gentle. Tamao and Jun too. Everyone's so kind, so I'm very blessed.
Q: What's the hardest part of Anna's training?
A: Anna's training isn't easy. Even though it's still bearable...the part where Anna uses poo is still a bit too much to the spirit. (? Um, did I translate this right? XD;; )
Q: The battle outfit that Anna made, do you think it fits you?
A: If I say it doesn't fit, I'd get killed for sure...but, it's not that bad actually. It feels very warm/soft when I wear it, and it doesn't affect my movements!
Q: Hao and Anna, who do you think you can't win against?
A: They're powerful in different ways that can't compare. Just thinking of them makes me scared to death...
Q: What do you like about Anna:
A: Because it was love at first sight, so it's her face. And when she wears a kimono, that makes my heart flutter too. No matter when, I like Anna's beautiful eyes and her shiny forehead too!
Q: Will you always be together with Anna?
A: (...no comment)
pg. 105
The secret conversation between Hao and Yoh at Dachi's Cafe
(In ch.251 of the manga, a part of the conversation between the two was cut out. Here, the conversation is reconstructed with the help of Talim(?) ) <---I don't remember the patch guy at the cafe. What's his name? I try sounding it out in Chinese...
"You like curry too?"
"Hmph, of course..."
(This takes place after the first preliminaries, on the day before the last battle. The time is 2:40 in the afternoon. First, Hao comes into the store and then Yoh.)
Hao: Let's sit next to the window.
Yoh: Uh, okay.
(Looking at the menu placed on the table, Hao orders a cup of espresso. He suggests for Yoh, who can't decide, to order cappuccino.)
Hao: ...eh? I'm a little hungry. Why not order some curry?
Yoh: Hehehe, you order curry without thinking. Seems like you like curry too.
Hao: Hmph, of course. Ever since I've had this body, I've liked eating curry.
it goes on, but I'm stumped with the names...
Darn it. Such an interesting conversation...but it's hard to translate because I don't remember much of mankin anymore. The names are stumping me. -_-;; What's the name of the creator of the X-Laws? (the guy that deserts the X-Laws) And the name of the lego like guy who raises Hao?

I wish I bought the Japanese version!
My interest in mankin comes and goes. I've forgotten most of the stuff already, but seeing that fanbook...I just had to buy it to learn more about the characters...and how much of the details I got wrong when I was writing mankin fanfics. -_-;;

Ah! Yes those interviews are miraculously still there. XD; Do you want them? I have the profiles too. (Just Ren and Pirika's though... lol.)
no subject
Hehe, yes please. :DD

Sorry for the late reply. D: I'll just... copy & paste it all here? XD;;

Dream: For Horohoro to become Shaman King. Actually, Horhoro's dream of restoring nature is also Pirika's dream, which is why she wants Horohoro to become Shaman King.
Q: Are you clumsy?
A: Of course not! I even make my brothers clothes myself! Besides... (looks around) I'm probably more skillful then Anna!
Q: Do you want to be a Shaman too?
A: I'm a Shaman too, you know. If I wasn't, I wouldn't be able to train my brother, would I? And don't you think it'd be more of a beautiful picture if I used ice attacks?
Q: Why didn't you come to America, too?
A: English scares me, and I'm not use to foreigners...
Q: What would you do if your brother gets a girlfriend?
A: I really want him to find a real proper girlfriend soon who would look after him. I'd be relieved if he got a person like Anna as a girlfriend...

Dream: At first, his dream was to become Shaman King and purify the world of humans. However, after meeting Yoh his dream changed to making a world free of hatred.
Q: What do you think of your teammates?
A: They're annoying, but I can count on them. Although as a team, they're only extra people!
Q: Don't you have to go to school?
A: ...? Hmm, no ones said anything before, for some strange reason. Also, there seem to be a lot of misunderstanding people, but that blazer is just my regular clothes.
Q: Are you an exhibitionist?
A: I'm just confident!
Q: I thought you drink 3 bottles of milk everyday. Why aren't you getting taller?
A: It'll come later! It WILL come later! It'll come at once! Now come!
Q: What kind of girl is your type?
A: Hmph, I haven't thought about it much but at the very least she should always be out of my way and not be a bother! ...and I like smaller type of girls better.
Q: Was Shamash your 'first?'
A: THAT DOESN'T COUNT!
Q: Yoh has a fiance, but do you have one too?
A: I think I've heard before that my father has a whole list of fiance candidates. Of course it can't be one of the kyonshis... I think... I hope.
Q: What's the difference between Chukkazanmai and Golden Chuukazanmai?
A: Just determination.
Q: What sport are you good at?
A: Sports? Those are silly absurd activities! I'm not interested in false fighting or games! However that doesn't mean I'm not good at them...
Q: Do you like your sister?
A: SHUT UP! Don't you make fun of me!

Hehe, I don't think milk makes people grow taller. I drink milk...and I'm not tall at all. But I do think that Ren's right in that milk makes our bones stronger~ Hehehe.
