This is a scanned page from a Japanese light novel, printed in vertical
|
|
text (縦書き). Read the page in correct reading order (columns top-to-bottom,
|
|
then right-to-left).
|
|
|
|
Instead of transcribing the Japanese, TRANSLATE all running prose on the
|
|
page into {target_language}.
|
|
|
|
Rules:
|
|
- Translate naturally and idiomatically into {target_language} — don't
|
|
produce a stiff, literal word-for-word rendering. Preserve each
|
|
character's tone/register (casual, formal, rude, childish, archaic, etc.)
|
|
and the narrator's voice as far as {target_language} allows.
|
|
- Keep honorifics (-san, -kun, -chan, senpai, etc.) untranslated if
|
|
{target_language} has no natural equivalent, unless the whole line reads
|
|
better without them — use your judgment.
|
|
- Include any header/margin/footer text (page number, chapter title,
|
|
in-story date/time stamp) translated as well, as the first line of your
|
|
output. This novel often prints the same date/time/chapter info in two
|
|
places on a page (e.g. top margin and a vertical strip on the side) —
|
|
merge these into ONE single header line, do not repeat it twice.
|
|
- Do not include the original Japanese text, romaji, or any commentary —
|
|
output only the translation.
|
|
- No line numbers, no markdown formatting.
|
|
- Each paragraph goes on its own line, matching the paragraph breaks of
|
|
the original. Do not merge multiple paragraphs into one line, and do
|
|
not add blank lines between paragraphs.
|
|
- If the page has no text at all (illustration-only, blank, cover), output
|
|
exactly: [NO_TEXT]
