Qian Xin Wan Ku manga

I'm excited to post something different: a manga translation! Haha, actually I've been working on this for almost a year; scanning, editing, translating, and finishing up each page. Finally it's ready to share:



Qian Xin Wan Ku (The Tragedy of Taking a Heart)
牽心萬苦
By: aChord/Xie He Xian/謝和弦
From his 2010 photobook 地球其實沒有那麽危險 ("The Earth Is Really Not That Dangerous").

For best viewing, click the picture for full-size and then use the arrow keys to go from page to page. Also, this manga is read from right to left, so don't get confused! ^_^

As usual, translation is by me, XiaoZero; but if you notice anything wrong, please correct me! ^_^'

My Name Is Xie He Xian

No, that's not my name - it's the name of Chord's first album (though I suppose it's more of a single). Chord (also known as Xie He Xian) is my ALL TIME favorite music artist, and I've been working on translating his album since it finally arrived at my door here in the US after I preordered it. (I've preordered his next album, too!) :D




However, Chord's lyrics are often so cleverly written and include so many references to traditional Taiwanese culture that I often get hopelessly lost. That being said, these translations are by no means entirely correct, but at least they give you an idea of what he means. I'm just too excited to share his lyrics to wait any longer!
