Hello! I set up a donation pool for the people who want to commission translations from me for the Osomatsu-san light novels. You can either use the GoFundMe link at the top, or use my Paypal donation button. This one is currently for the first novel only.

For people who use Paypal, I will keep a list at the GoFundMe site.

People who donate, please provide me with your email (this will not be shared). The final translation will eventually be shared to the public on my webpage, but donators get to read it first.

Summaries for the first book are as follows:

Story 1: “Youngest Brother, Osomatsu”

“It’s time to put a period on the eldest’s shitty reign!” Built-up resentments explode and the younger brothers rebel. With one word from Matsuyo, the brothers switch around! Osomatsu becomes the youngest brother!! Also, what does Todomatsu do now that he has a younger brother for the first time…?

Story 2: “Acting Troupe Karamatsu”

Choromatsu wants to give a present to Nyaa-chan. “Leave that to me, former member of the drama club, Matsuno Karamatsu!” Karamatsu immediately drags the rest of his brothers into starting a rehearsal, but then…?

Story 3: “Choromatu’s Late Night Adventure”

Choromatsu abruptly wakes up in the middle of the night. “Why did I have to be born a sextuplet? This sucks.” Even when he’s feeling horny, there’s no place where he can be alone. It is one of the Matsuno household’s biggest problems.

Story 4: “White or Black?”

The sextuplets break up into teams of three to play Othello. Ichimatsu makes a serious declaration of “If I lose at this, I’ll die,” so he cannot afford to lose. A battle with life and death on the line begins now…!!

Story 6: “Summer Vacation”

The sextuplets arrive at the beach. “Yay, it’s vacation!” “Time for us to let go of stress and relax!” “Every day for us is pretty much summer vacation though.” They split the watermelon, swim in the ocean, and fool around, but then there appears their greatest enemy…
