Benkyou no Kamisama wa Hitomishiri

It’s me (makenai89) and my sister zakii’s first publicized translation project. Please note that we do not own this novel. Plus, as I haven’t mastered Japanese, most of the translation are done with the help of GT-san, Jisho-jiji, and Rikaikun. On the other hand, my sister’s good at Japanese, but not so much at English. Fair warning: We are not native at both languages. Thus, the translation’s quality might not be high, although we will do our best to make it readable, so enjoy! ^^

Translated as: Benkyou no Kamisama wa Hitomishiri
Also known as: The God of Study Is Shy of Strangers (Thank you Loliquent for raising this up a long time ago, and thank you canaria23 for referring this novel in NUF)
Description (taken from canaria23 recommendation): Madoka Kisaragi was someone who was better at sports than at her studies, a sparkling high school student, and belonged to the track and field team. She had a dream she wanted to achieve no matter what…but what should she do to achieve her dream despite her bad grades?

Then came Makoto Ichiyanagi. A classmate of hers who, though good in studying, had poor social disposition. She dubbed him as the “God of Study”

She requested him to help her in her studies. As a result, Madoka’s grades improved from the study method Makoto taught. Meanwhile, Makoto’s shyness gradually cured through his contact with Madoka.

This is a subtle love story of two dull youth in their spring.

Translator Notes

Feb 19, 2016 – After scanned ahead a bit, I realized that it’s quite awkward to call each section of the story as “chapter”, because it was so short and will only reach culmination after several sections under a sub-title passed. Thus, it was likely that the author wrote each chapter in several parts instead, effectively meant: a sub-title headed a chapter, and a chapter consisted of several parts (there was no fixed amount of parts in each chapter). Continuing forward, we will be keeping this in mind.

Feb 25, 2016 – At some points, there were places where “God” seemed insufficient to replace “Kamisama”. So, although “Kamisama” is “God” and “God” is “Kamisama”, I considered the use of “Kamisama” instead of “God” on all references to Makoto the God of Study within the story. I’m sorry for the inconsistency that may arise.
