Koucha Ouji is a highly entertaining shoujo manga series that has been running in Hana to Yume since 1997. The story has primarily to do with your favorite drink and mine: tea. Not only tea, but Tea Princes, who grant wishes to anyone who summons them! It is surprisingly unpopular with English-speaking fans, and has little to no fan-base in Japan. With that said, I thought I would take my private project of translating its manga public, and make the translations available for all to see.
Keep in mind that these translations are an aid for readers who do not speak Japanese, not a substitution for the manga! If you do not already own Koucha Ouji and want to experience the real thing as well as support the manga-ka and Hakusensha, please purchase the manga!
Language disclaimer: my Japanese is far from perfect, and there are bound to be typos and mistakes here and there. Please keep that in mind while using these translations. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please email Taaalia.
Updates:
=26.4.04= Added tsp 12 and 13. Altered the text documents a bit, to make them smaller and easier to read. I hope to finish volume 3 by Mid-May. We'll see, what with finals. I also started a glossary and character page which will hopefully be up by summer. wOOt.
=6.4.04= Added tsp 11. Currently working on changing some names and making slight adjustments (ie, changing the thought bubble indication from "//" to "< >", which reads more easily) in all the other chapters. I'm also thinking of making a detailed character map, or just a character page that helps with all of the other minor characters (ie, the zillion or so other people running around the series that I can't even remember while I'm in the process of translating).
