translating Aqua
Aqua *looks* like it would be easy to translate, but it actually has lots of fun SF terminology that has made me realize that my J/E dictionary isn't nearly big enough.
However, there are some things I can tell without actually having to read. Like Akari actually has been up to the floating island where the salamanders do their weather control thing. Also, that Akatsuki's nickname for Akari is actually "momiko" = "little sideburns", not "pigtails" (benpatsu). 
I still say that he likes her though. 
I was surprised that Akari was so quickly promoted from trainee to apprentice - by the end of the first volume of Aqua. But I really want to make her winter uniform.
