Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / Hasegawa Novels 1-13 Released
Last post by Eff Efferson - March 05, 2026, 11:45:50 AMAll of naoko hasegawas novels are now translated.
https://archive.org/details/tenchi-muyo-hasegawa-vol.-2-the-impermanence-of-all-things-part-2
The retreads of ova 1 should be read by any tenchi fan. It lets you see what elements were hers and what ideads of her were cut in the transition from ova 1 to 2. As for her canon its a mess is it fun? Yes. Is it great? No. Is it bad? No its just chaotic. Also it has a bunch if weirdness to it. For example episode 7 never happened. But washu still supposedly angel of mercied tenchi at one point off book. Sasami never meets mirei in this canon thats universes canon but according to her diary she did off book so she halucunates getting to play with her again in one big collective dead peopke come back hallucination chapter.
The girls in hassegawas canon are designer clothes obsesssssssssed. Ayeka spends a total of like 5000$ on corsets and a single dior dress over the course of only two novels.
There are ghosts and evil spirits constantly popping up to fight them as villians of the book. Kagato is one of em in her canon he was some kinda encarnated semi corporeal evil spirit and when tenchi blades him his epiphany on the nature of the tenchi swords power causes him to ascend to godhood when he "dies "which makes him benevolent somehow. So occassionally he shows up as a spirit to be freindly and not as not a villan.
Also tenchi traveled back in time to the day his mom died and begged her to let him save her but young tenchi saw him and tried to fight him with his powers and she got between them got hit n thats why she died in the first place. She used her power to seal tenchis power and make him a wet dishrag indecisive yes boy.
Over all the plot goes nowhere it resolves with aykea abandoning her royal status to be in a poly co parentship of tenchis baby mayuka instead of trying to make him chose her and jurai exclusively and tenchi resolving to tell everyone he wants to be with all of them.
Washu also gains an assistant butler for the family at a space truck stop who has a soul despite beung a robot because he was created at adam and eves robot butler and the writer injects lazy layman misundersterstanings of popular religeon into every dang facet of every book. She really loves jesus except when she really loves budha except when space chrishna or pele or some other goddess shows up. She fails to maintain any sort of real canonical integrity to her universe washu is a godess with a secret background mission to develope tenchi into the future hero of light untill she just isnt.
All in all its a crazy ride.

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / War on Geminar novelization tr...
Last post by Eff Efferson - March 02, 2026, 01:25:42 PMHey I Finally read through properly retranslated and edited the geminar novel its now a done release in the folder and on archive.
It mostly retreads stuff from episodes 1-4 and features one new clearly sub written by kajishima chapter at the end. I say that because it involves Kenshi giving speach on the astral sea and how ghosts work.
here's some generated summaries of the sections:
Prologue
Three mysterious old men—implied to be influential figures from a previous era—meet in a restricted underground facility in the Holy Land. They observe a 3D projection of Kenshi Masaki, noting his "abnormal" abilities as a Sacred Mech Master and his potential to rewrite the history of the world. They secretly modify the Holy Land's reactor systems to monitor or influence events for their own amusement.
Episode 1: Kenshi has settled into a routine as a laborer and attendant for Princess Lashara Earth XXVIII of the Shurifon Empire at the Holy Land Academy. A flashback reveals Kenshi was summoned to Geminar and manipulated by masked men into attempting to assassinate Lashara. During the attack on her ship, the Swan, Kenshi displayed incredible piloting skill but eventually collapsed from "Ahou sickness" (vibration wave exhaustion). Rather than being executed, he was taken in by Lashara as a laborer.Social Dynamics: Kenshi interacts with Chiaia Flan (Lashara's guard), Wahanly Shume (a technician), and Maria Nanadan (Lashara's rival cousin). He is tasked with attending a student council welcome party, despite his reluctance.
The King Game: At the welcome party, the students play a modified "King Game" (called the Goddess Game), where the "Goddess" gives orders to others. This leads to several embarrassing or fanservice-oriented situations, such as Yukine being ordered to crawl through others' legs and Kenshi being caught in a "Pocky game" with Chiaia.
The Twister Incident: A game of Twister results in Kenshi and Chiaia becoming physically entangled, causing further embarrassment and social tension.
The Underwear Competition: Fueled by her rivalry with Maria, Lashara orders Kenshi to use his sewing and craft skills to create "luxurious" underwear and petticoats for her that surpass Maria's. This leads to a comedic subplot where Kenshi must measure the girls for their new garments.
This is the original stuff. its pretty brief.
The Test of Courage The Event: The Student Council organizes an annual "Test of Courage" in the Academy's historic (and potentially haunted) facilities. The Prank: While Kenshi and Chiaia navigate the underground ruins, they encounter the three old men from the prologue using "Astral synchronization" to create illusions and pull pranks. Kenshi, realizing they are not ghosts, confronts them, and they eventually depart, amused by his reaction.

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / Tenchi in Tokyo Novel Release
Last post by Eff Efferson - February 24, 2026, 11:09:49 AMhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1JHgL9drJkXT-MqKSD7NK3XC9t66pfuWg/view?usp=drivesdk
I finally fixed this one properly.
TLDR Summary for those who want to know what's in it without reading it:
its 3 stories
Story 1: Sakuya wants to get closer to tenchi by getting something for them to have in
common to talk about. They find Washu selling a genetically altered chipmunk and
buy it. He opens up but then the chipmunk, named Okoyama becomes a miniature
human girl and then a fairy and begins cooking dinner and Sakuya gets jealous and on
a date to a shinto shrine she wishes for Okoyama to disappear. The fairy gets sick
immediately. Sakuya blames herself, but Washu calls to let them know the life span of
her creation is only a month. Okayama dies, Tenchi confesses his feelings about the
whole situation and notices Sakuya was wearing a short skirt to get his attention.
Sakuya quits calling Tenchi by only Tenchi-kun and goes back to calling him the less
informal Masaki-kun. Unhappy End.
Story 2: Sasami contemplates what love is and announces her love for tenchi to the
group, from this she realizes she doesn't really know what love is. Ryo ohki tells her
to call Tenchi and they arrange for her to meet up with Sakuya and him in Tokyo.
Sakuya decides to go to get her hair done at a famous salon and leaves them alone to
catch up but makes "a magic circle" around them and tells them not to leave it. Over
14 different groups of people come and sit on the bench with them all in love of
different styles and sasami learns the vast scope of love and finally an old woman,
grieving her long dead daughter who looked like sasami, comes and teaches her that
love is seeing a future with someone and wanting to work towards it. Sakuya shows
back up 4 hours later after dark, remarking that the hair salon was horrid. Happy End.
Story 3: Ryoko binge drinks to suppress her rage, and eventually the suppression fails
and she goes to Washu to ask her to help her kill a man. Washu asks for clarification as
to who she wants her to kill, it's a cold. Tenchi has a cold and she wants the cold virus
to suffer for hurting her man. She invents a new medicine and they give it to Tenchi.
His soul leaves his body, ryoko goes to shuibuya looking for a convenience store and
gets lost for an hour and finds a street punk tenchi beating up people and swoons.
Then she sees a pickup artist tenchi hitting on girls, then a nerdy pimple-faced
highschooler tenchi beats that tenchi up, a tenchi preaching vaguely every religion at
once comes out and makes noise on the street. She flies back to Tenchi's apartment
to find him there. Washu explains the tenchi's she met were Tenchi's soul manifesting
in ways to explore his latent desires. Washu's cold medicine was an astral projection
medicine that took the sickness with it by having the soul leave the body. Ryokoliterally goes looney tunes from hearing this. Washu concludes that the four tenchi's
must be from the medicine curing Tenchi's back pain, athlete's foot, acne, and weak
bladder.
Washu becomes thrilled at making a miracle drug. Ryoko asks her when Tenchi's souls
will go back. "Never, They won't; he's permanently half dead.".That doesn't work for
Ryoko so washu goes off to research a cure. She makes a machine to put the spirit
parts back into tenchi ryoko goes and finds them around town knocks them out and
puts them back in, the final one she puts in is tenchis violent side who she knocks out
and breaks out of jail, once she gets him in she finds there's still a part missing. The
part that loves her. She finds him in the crack of the floor boards and restores tenchi
back to who he normally is with newfound respect for all the parts of him he
represses. But restoring that part gave Tenchi a cold again so the whole ordeal was for
nothing. Unhappy End.

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / Re: Pretty Sammy Novel Transla...
Last post by Eff Efferson - February 21, 2026, 01:50:34 AMsummary of pretty sammy parallel world edition:
it starts off in a space world where the kiyone people and the yosho people have both monopolized half of space using a giant space frog called the frog is cumming... or the frog has arrived/departed (gamamaimasu) and what they call fuck navigation. because you go in one hole of the frog and end up coming out another hole. weird AF setup but this novels weird. kiyoke and her mother Hatsune(not miku) are preparing for her marriage to the prince of yosho. he contacts her, he's a decrepid monster who talks and acts like crotch grabbing hehe auw shamon Michael Jackson but looks like smeagle. she storms off and refuses to marry him to unite the nations. her mom sends two german SS uniformed officers after her (wtf) (still working on it updates as I go) meanwhile her mother gets in a fight with the ambassadors from the yosho people and restarts war between them.
the two officers are kiyones personal guards who come to arrest her at the space port but they love her so she convinces them to help steal her mother's space ship and they launch a jump out of the port. her mother freaks out when mihoshi... a princess of the police planet native n planet mihoshi dances in past security singing her own made up corny theme song.she is sent to go catch kiyone...
at school washu does a dramatic pose with a gun imitating la femme nikita because she is lol so random.
she then tells the class she has found aliens and invites a few students to go with her to meet them, then she gives sasami suspicious floor dissolving solution she says is alien dissolving solution and tells her to give it to sammy, who sasami pretends not to have any relation to.
mean while in a skull shaped house in asagaya japan Space kione whips her two gaurds while lamenting how she has failed to seduce tenchi. she blames pretty sammy. tenchi meanwhile is working at dennys... this universes ryoko and ayeka have also skipped class to work with him.
a suspicious woman in a red trenchcoat and every disguise item possible comes in and is like BINGO i can tell your unhappily underemployed and need a better paying job, and hes like yeah i do and she's like I know one that pays 23$ an hour in 1990's money! meet me in the park tenchi and its yours! and he's like how do you know my name. he meets her at teh park hoping he isnt late for sasami's lunch she makes him daily space kiyone captures tenchi with a fishing rod. ayeka and ryoko come with a stun gun and akedo training to rescue tenchi but kiyone's lackies stop them. They go into space sammy follows in the ryoohki jet and kiyone shoots a weapon off and sammy hits it with her weapons and it tears a hole in space time ans they go theough it. This is sasami moeta and tenchi masaki. Not the usual sasami kawaii.

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / Pretty Sammy Novel Translation...
Last post by Eff Efferson - February 11, 2026, 11:52:47 PMHey I'm going to go ahead and process the pretty Sammy novels into decent machine translations. I have a much more advanced method now. its going to be totally readable unlike the kind your used do. it just might have a few errors here and there cause I'm not going over the output cause frankly I'm not to interested. if anyone wants to edit them up do so and send me the edits and I'll post em.
as usual there in the drive file I'll put em on archive when I'm done
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-un6_RBEzIovc5uxjmcpnW2hXxu3z8Yk?usp=sharing
So far 4 volumes are done. the last 3 and volume 2.
I will eventually get to reading them and I'll edit them into proper translations but as they are, they are petty readable it isnt like the old days.

Last post by Ryo-Okay - February 09, 2026, 05:03:06 PMQuote from: DishonorableKnight on February 09, 2026, 12:16:35 PMOoh, sounds fun. Share the names of those games and I might have a look at them myself.I've played 2 Korean ones, Five Hearts Under One Roof and Don't Fool Me, Beauties. Both are developed by the company Storytaco. Storytaco is having a sale on Steam from February 13th to the 20th, so these games should be a decent price.
The other 3 I've played are all Chinese. Love is All Around, Knowledge, Or Know Lady, and Heartbeat in Thailand.
My rankings for them are:
- Don't Fool Me, Beauties
- Knowledge, OR Know Lady
- Heartbeat in Thailand
- Five Hearts Under One Roof
- Love is All Around
