Okay, you "Alien Nine" fans.

Listen up!

I have transcribed all three volumes of the manga.

[Volume 1: ISBN4-253-14607-4
 Volume 2: ISBN4-253-14608-2
 Volume 3: ISBN4-253-14609-0]

They are in iso-2022-jp format (also known as new-shift-jis).  What this means
is that you can use computer dictionary programs such as xjdic to help you
actually learn while figuring out what they're saying.  To make things even
easier for you all, I've also created accompanying files that contain most of
the words (in kanji + kana) and their meanings.

If you're a wuss and need a translation, go elsewhere.

If you're willing to spend some time to learn something while also enjoying
this wonderful manga, email me with a note promising me that you won't
distribute these files.  If someone else you know wants a copy, they can email
me, too, you know.  I have nothing but utmost respect for Tomizawa-sensei
and so do not wish to cause him grief.  Since this transcribing is probably
copyright violation, I'm trying to keep this to minimal distribution.  I
do not really believe that the transcriptions themselves have much value
without the drawings, though.  There are many pages without any dialogue,
in fact.

By the way, I bought them from www.animaxis.com, but if you are willing to
navigate through www.amazon.co.jp, you can get them from them as well.

For you windoze losers (oops, did I mean users?  nah), you can use JWPce.
Don't ask me where to find it, how to install it, or how to use it.

For you unix guys, get kterm, xjdic, EDICT files, etc. from

http://ftp.monash.edu.au/pub/

Or if you just want to read the stuff, just kterm or MULE enabled EMACS will
do fine.
