Juza Unno
When you have a free moment, could you please heck if the original Japanese titles of this classic author's works are readily available? TIA! Ahasuerus 13:13, 4 October 2018 (EDT)
- I've done what I can for now. There are at least 176 works under Unno Jūza, 5 under Kyūjūrō Oka, and 9 under his real name, Shōichi Sano. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:17, 8 October 2018 (EDT)
- Thanks! He sure was prolific... Ahasuerus 18:36, 8 October 2018 (EDT)
- Indeed. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 15:05, 9 October 2018 (EDT)
Uncompromising Honor
I added a scan for your verified (one hour before me) Uncompromising Honor. Bob 16:59, 8 October 2018 (EDT)

Superintendant vs. Superintendent
Would you mind double checking the "superintendant" spelling in The Hawk's Cherry Wine and Superintendant Perrault's Purple Bra? Is this a database typo? Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 19:42, 11 October 2018 (EDT)
- Fixed. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 00:10, 12 October 2018 (EDT)
The Ancient Magus' Bride
Fixer has added the forthcoming English translation of the first prose anthology based on the manga The Ancient Magus' Bride, but I am afraid I have been unable to find the original title/date. When you have a free moment, could you please take a look? The Japanese Wikipedia has an article about the manga, but I was unable to find anything relevant using Google Translate. Ahasuerus 17:31, 21 October 2018 (EDT)
- Done. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 02:52, 23 October 2018 (EDT)
- Thanks! Is it safe to assume that the stories are set in the same universe as Macmillan claims? Ahasuerus 15:54, 23 October 2018 (EDT)
- Yes, it appears they are all set in the same world, though not necessarily related to each other. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 16:49, 23 October 2018 (EDT)
- Updated, thanks! Ahasuerus 19:49, 23 October 2018 (EDT)
Kenji Kuroda
Would you happen to know Kenji Kuroda's Japanese name and the titles of the "Ao Oni" game-based horror books that he has penned? (They include manga inserts, but otherwise they are regular novels.) TIA! Ahasuerus 10:28, 7 November 2018 (EST)
- Done. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 12:56, 7 November 2018 (EST)
- Yes. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 13:08, 7 November 2018 (EST)
"Otaku de Neet"
Could you please check the Japanese name of Otaku de Neet? I was able to get the Japanese titles and the original publication dates from Amazon.jp, but "Otaku de Neet" appears to be a translation of the author's nom de plume rather than a transliteration, so I am afraid that I will mess it up. TIA! Ahasuerus 17:00, 7 November 2018 (EST)
- Done. It's definitely a nom de plume, but I have no idea what their legal name is. The English one is a transliteration with an unusual spelling. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 17:15, 7 November 2018 (EST)
- Looks much better, thanks! Ahasuerus 18:22, 7 November 2018 (EST)
Japanese help
Hello,
Need your help deciphering something :) I am working on translators for this one and Ameqlist is useful as always. However this is a format I had never seen before (the two translators not identified story by story). How do you read this? Is the translator of the bolded story the translator of all the stories below it or are the ones without individual translator unclear (so it can be either of the two)? Any idea? Annie 12:30, 15 November 2018 (EST)
- I read it as 山口守 translating the first set and 三木直大 translating the second set. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 14:37, 15 November 2018 (EST)
- I read it the same way so I will act based on that. Thanks for taking a look :) Annie 14:54, 15 November 2018 (EST)

MAGA 2020
I put an anthology like this on the same level as Jerry Pournelle's anthologies like There Will Be War which mixed far right propaganda with its fiction. Can't knock them too much, after all, I bought them brand new when they were issued. All of the contents were listed, so don't you think that the non-fiction in MAGA should have been listed. I was going to clone yours for the ebook version (which has a different cover) and thought I would ask first.
In case you're wondering, I'm always looking for the unusual and the weird when it comes to published fiction. MLB 17:57, 25 November 2018 (EST)
- It would seem logical to include the essays. Most of them were written by genre authors and at least one appears to be slightly fictionalized ("Assessing the Legacy of Trump".) The whole thing seems similar to the Destinies/New Destinies series of anthologies which included a fair number of essays on public policy issues. Granted, the essays in Destinies tended to be at least peripherally related to SF (the space program etc) while this bunch seems to be further removed from the genre. Ahasuerus 19:15, 25 November 2018 (EST)
- Well, I won't tinker with Nihonjoe's contribution until he chimes in. MLB 06:35, 26 November 2018 (EST)
- Oh, sure. No rush. Ahasuerus 10:45, 26 November 2018 (EST)
- Sure, feel free to tweak away. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 13:21, 26 November 2018 (EST)
