citrinesea here. With developments in my personal life (a severe dip in mental health, the current state of the country affecting my work and finances) taking a turn for the worst, I'm taking a hiatus from posting. However, I'm well at work on my projects. I like keeping everyone posted and aware, so I've made this listo so you all can see what I'm working on (and I can keep track of all the projects I have going on).

If you need to reach out to me, feel free to send an email at citrinesea.io@gmail.com, I'll be checking that as my primary point of communication.

Ensemble Stars

• 元祖紅月 | Original AKATSUKI
• 流星隊 | RYUSEITAI
• 紅流星 | AKARYUSEI, or stories with AKATSUKI and RYUSEITAI members in it
• 維吹滝 | Ibuki Taki

Translations with Shinsei AKATSUKI (post-2025) will be labeled "新生". Otherwise, I just generally refer to them as AKATSUKI and Ibuki separately.

Translation priority tends to go to Keito, Ibuki, Shinobu and Kanata first. Feel free to reach out if you're doing a story and looking for a translator to do any of the characters above! I love collaborating. I'm also happy to proofread (to the best of my abilities) or check character voices in translations.

Interested in translating and don't know where to start? I got an ask like this once-- here are the tools I use

• ichi.moe, a translation dictionary that can dissect sentences
• Yomitan, a Chrome browser extension that's a built-in translation dictionary
• Wesley Robertson, a sociolinguist who has a robust set of free resources and textbooks for learning Japanese: https://wesleycrobertson.wordpress.com/f...
• JLect and Okinawa Hougan for uchinaaguchi https://www.jlect.com/resources.php | https://hougen.ajima.jp/
• I'm also reading this textbook. It's free, and it's written in English too, so check it out if you're interested! https://liuchiuan.com/wp-content/uploads...

• would an email newsletter be fun? i feel like technology is just zooming forward so far and so fast, there's a sort of nostalgia I have for partaking in "old forms" of communication. citrinesea is kinda like that: a website you might stumble on in the 2000s that seems divorced, yet relevant.
• I NEVER HAVE TO TAKE A CLASS AGAIN! Summer's going to be even worse when it comes to things I have to get done, BUT LET'S NOT THINK ABOUT THAT, I NEVER HAVE TO TAKE A CLASS AGAIN!
• I had to get a new laptop, so if you see any weird changes on the mashiro blog, it's because I had to rebuilt the entire site again ):
• You read this far down? Here's a collaborative jigsaw puzzle! https://jigex.com/rrNDg
