Flowers and the Auto-Memories Doll (unofficial translation of 花と自動手記人形)


Work in progress (placeholder):
I was going to work on this fan translation but work came in and I had to put this on hold. But there are probably fans who look forward to it, so I am putting a placeholder here and will gradually update it when I have time to work on it. When it is done, I will remove this note.
 
This is an unofficial translation of the chapter 花と自動手記人形 (Flowers and the Auto-Memories Doll) found in the compendium Violet Evergarden The Anniversary -Flower- (the compendium brings together all four volumes of the light novel series, together with two new chapters). I am sharing my translation so that fans who do not understand Japanese can read it.
 
Note: The rights to the original work belong to the author Akatsuki Kana and Kyoto Animation. While this unofficial translation is being shared under fair use, I will remove it if it comes to my knowledge that this translation is being misused or if there is any infringement of the copyright owners' rights.

(You can find all my posts related to Violet Evergarden here, including my review of Violet Evergarden the Movie that debut in 2020 after watching it 14 times, my translation of the messages from author Akatsuki Kana and illustrator Takase Akiko found in this new compendium, my Tellsis language translator in Flutter and Python, my thoughts about the portrayal of guilt in Violet Evergarden, summary of production crew events, etc.)
