joiedecombatHappy discoveries that I have made today: fan translations of (some of) the Baccano! light novels online here.
They're mostly not complete, but all of the first novel is up, and between that site and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dawnelkin's LJ here, the fourth novel, Drugs and Dominos, is almost complete (and features a moment of pure unadulterated awesome from Luck, who has become my favorite character in the whole crazy business, and I swear it's not just because he's another random Takehito Koyasu character).
Baccano!, for anyone who's forgotten, is a series about Prohibition-era gangsters, thieves and killers and some elaborate shell games involving any or all of money, drugs, explosives, a train called the "Flying Pussyfoot," and the elixir of immortality. "Crazy awesome" about sums it up. The translations from the Japanese combined with the generally twisty and not-always-linear plots make the novels a bit hard to follow, but worth it anyhow.
