Code Geass : A News and Fan Community

Code Geass and its many, many semi-canons----will they ever stop? Apparently not. Earlier today, the Code Geass website has announced a new light novel line, titled 朱の軌跡 (Ake no Kiseki, lit. Scarlet Tracks), with Kallen as the main character. The story will begin serializing in the August issue of The Sneaker Magazine, written by the same Iwase Mamoru who wrote Stage 0 and Stage 1. If the US Licensed Geass is to have the same dizzying-array-of-canon effect, localizers should have their hands full.

On a related subject, since it seemed to have gone under the radar when the book came out : Newtype Romance is also serializing Code Geass under the name 生徒会事件簿 (Seitokai Jikenbo, lit. The Student Council Case Files), written by 朝香 祥. I'm not sure how to read her name. At any rate, she's written a series of historical romances before and if the Romance of the Three Kingdoms books I read are any judge, she's pretty good at friendship banters. The story is about Lelouch and co. as they sleuth their way around ghost stories in the Ashford campus, and going by the first chapter, it can get pretty serious. No word on whether it'll be collected into a volume or when.

I'm also surprised nobody ripped the CD with Lulu and Rivalz cleaning the toilet.

A few days ago, jdiam posted the scans to Stage 0 : Entrance, aka Childhood Story Novel Edition. This post is therefore in much love to her! I didn't expect to do this so quickly, and originally intended to do so in printed order instead of picking excerpts from nowhere. (Besides, I'm supposed to be doing something else. Yikes)

After skimming through and finding this little thing, though, I decided to translate the part pronto. It certainly gives a whole new dimension to Lulu's seeming sister complex, his 'I'll never leave you'. He's not a siscon. He's just really, really, really scared. (And also on the whole Suzaku-Euphie-Nunnally-Himself thing; this is one fine mess, all right)

Warning : Translation is a little rough around the edges!

EDIT : Changed 'with goodwill' to 'without goodwill'. TYPOS ARE EPIC-LEVEL MONSTERS.

Poor Lulu. If the boy has one more angst topic, I swear he'll turn into a CLAMP character.
