Thanks

Interesting! Does this contain any spoilers to the game? For example, details about what happened in the past?

No, this does not contain any spoilers. There's a bit of reference to this in both tsukihime and fate that might make you smile though. ^^

Great translations!

Still, just want to put it out there that the original Japanese text is, of course, like all literature, the best. :P (I have both volumes of Kara no Kyoukai XD)

Words can be up for interpretation sometimes, but nonetheless, the work at mirror moon is great!

Thanks! Keep it up!

If i remember correctly this is the prototype of tsukihime. It looks long i think i better print it. BTW, any rating of this book? I wanna know if its worth to read. ^^

Hai hai nasu sugoi janai!
Hmm but i better print this first. BTW, does kara no kyoukai really in the same world as tsukihime and fate/stay? I thought this was only a protype of Tusukiyohime(tsukihime) :P.

Ｉt is fun that the name 织\式(shiki) has the same pronounciation as the name 志贵＼四季　does.

shiki in Japanese can also be "始期"or"死期”, which means the "beginning/birth" or "the end/death". Obviously, Nasu has intentionally used this name to imply 式 and 志贵 's ability

Thank you Ryuusoul for the translation.

Heh... don't thank me, thank TakaJun.

Ups... I should read the FAQ before posting... Sorry for ask about when the project will be finished ^_^.

Thanks for all of you hard work

Thank you TakaJun for the translation and anyone else how helped.

Are the translatiosn going to continue?

Btw what is the format of Kara No Kyoukai? In chapter 2 Shiki kills Mikiya, but in chapter 3 Mikiya is still alive. What happened?

The order of the chapters inside the story is scrambled, meaning that the chapters don´t follow a linear storyline

Also, Shiki didn´t kill Mikiya in the end of chapter 2...

P.D.: Sorry for my bad english...
P.D.2: Thanks a lot, takajunn & all mirror moon personal!

The translation is likely to not continue. That said, I *may* do chapter 4 if I find some time in the future.

The chapter order does not follow a linear time frame.
This is the KnK timeframe:
1995: September: Chapter 2
1996: Shiki goes to hospital
1998: June: Chapter 6
July: Chapter 3
September: Chapter 1
November: Chapter 5
1999: Chapter 6

Thank you very much, I really enjoy that

So... Where can I D/L the whole thing? Or is it against a rule to ask? I read the rules, but I don't remember anything like that. But then again, I have a *REALLY* bad memory...

Come again? That link was a tad confusing...

just wondering... how many chapters does this go up to?

i noticed a smiley face is automatically made in the comment box before i type anything.
nice touch.

oh yeah.

I just registered here for one reason: to congratulate and thank TakaJun. =]

Thanks a lot for translating these first 3 chapters, I had a great time reading them. Especially during the daily 3 hours I spend to take buses for college. =]

I really would love to see the other chapters translated someday. T.T But I understand if you don't want to translate them... <:l

For anyone wondering, I will not translate any more chapters. The first four chapters were officially available on the web, so that's the only ones I will translate. Chapter 4 has been done by someone else, so I'm not going to do it.
I might go back and edit what I've done, though. Looking at the translations now, I want to delete the whole thing so nobody can see how bad it is ^^;

I'm not sure if I'm correct but wasn't there 11 chapters in total or something?

According to Wiki:
* Chapter 1 – Overlooking View (俯瞰風景, Fukan Fūkei?) Thanatos.
* Chapter 2 – A Study in Murder (Part 1) (殺人考察(前), Satsujin Kōsatsu (Zen)?) ……and nothing heart.
* Chapter 3 – Remaining Sense of Pain (痛覚残留, Tsūkaku Zanryū?) ever cry,never life.
* Chapter 4 – Void Shrine (伽藍の洞, Garan no Hora?) garan-no-dou.
* Intermission (境界式, Kyōkai Shiki?)
* Chapter 5 – Paradox Spiral (矛盾螺旋, Mujun Rasen?) Paradox Paradigm.
* Chapter 6 – Oblivion Recorder (忘却録音, Bōkyaku Rokuon?) fairy Tale.
* Intermission (境界式, Kyōkai Shiki?)
* Chapter 7 – A Study in Murder (Part 2) (殺人考察(後), Satsujin Kōsatsu (Go)?) ……not nothing heart.
* Edge of Emptiness (空の境界, Kara no Kyōkai?)

Why is this listed under complete with only 3 chapters translated? What I'm saying is...since TakaJun isn't translating anymore, isn't it more correct to put it as 'dropped' instead of completed? Sorry, I'm a bit anal on details XD.

oh going through all the sentences on this page is tiring for a Chinese..like me

I've a question.So it seems that there will not be anymore free translations for Kara no Kyoukai Novels,So my question is where can I buy it online?Can someone please tell me?

You can get it on ebay, yahoo auctions or amazon.　
There's two editions the old　one and the reprinted edition. I think the only difference between them is the cover graphic and that the old edition had 2 volumes and the reprint 3 volumes. New edition on amazon 1st volume: http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E7%A9%BA%E3%81%AE%E5%A2%83%E7%95%8C%E3%80%88%E4%B8%8A%E3%80%89-%E8%AC%9B%E8%AB%87%E7%A4%BE%E6%96%87%E5%BA%AB-%E5%A5%88%E9%A0%88-%E3%81%8D%E3%81%AE%E3%81%93/dp/406275892X/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243943907&sr=8-4
they're marked respectably 上、中、下。
And the old 1st volume:
