[[Welcome to Golden Sun 4-Koma Scanslations]]

[[What]]
goldensun4koma is a journal in which intrepid adventurers (or rabid fans of the Golden Sun GBA game) can find English-language versions of the Golden Sun 4-Koma Gag Battle anthology done by cinnamonical and kiirobon. The anthology was originally in Japanese and is also extremely hard to find. (Sometimes a copy surfaces on eBay or on Yahoo!Japan.)

Golden Sun Realm is also doing a 4-koma translation project, but goldensun4koma is not affiliated with the site in any way, shape, or form.


[[Guidelines and Stuff]]
1. Thou shalt not claim as one's own.
2. Thou shalt not remove the scanning and translation credits from the comics.
3. Thou shalt not host on another site without cinnamonical's permission. E-mail her at alchymic(.)aria(@)gmail(.)com for questions.
4. Thou is able to use the comics in icons if one desirest; simply be mindful to give credit to Sora G. Silverwind or to this site. (Later, large-sized raw scans may be posted for downloading pleasure. May be posted.)


[[Miscellaneous]]
Be sure to read the comics from RIGHT to LEFT. If an entry features two or more comics, you should read the right-most comic first. (This matters for continuity of storyline in some of the 4-komas.)

Artist names are listed in the Eastern style, last name first. Comic titles in the index below are listed first with the name of the right-hand comic on the page, then the left.

Apologies if any of the text is unreadable and for possible bad image quality as a result of resizing and sharpening.


[[A Note on Translations]]
Neither myself nor kiirobon are transparent translators or word-for-word translators. We don't feel that doing an exact translation of the original Japanese into English is helpful or desirable for a general audience. Instead, we focus on making it readable and fun while still conveying the general meaning of the original Japanese. Not every little change we made is noted in the entries to follow, but some things such as kanji puns and other such jokes are explained after the relevant comics.

(This, of course, does not automatically mean that we get everything right. If there is a huge, huge mistake that we have made that drastically alters the joke in a comic, let us know and we'll get around to fixing it...eventually.)
