Anyway, thanks Repulsion Scans for picking this up. Hopefully someone if not you can work on the rest of HI3 mangas. I seriously would like an English version of Kallen x Sakura story.

Well, we decided to continue it: https://mangadex.org/manga/15560/guns-girl-schooldayz-ex

We're not sure about how to organize all the Honkai related stuff for now, so I haven't sent a request to put it up on Dynasty.

Seeing these I feel guilty butchering Wendy in co-op mode earlier.

We'll probably try to translate a few more Honkai Impact related things, so we'll see how far we get. The Sakura Kallen sidestory is one of the candidates to be translated soon if we can make it happen.

can anyone explain the ending? I dont really know anything of the game :(

Basically, Seele lost her physical body and Bronya planned to give up her physical body to be with Seele but decided to go back and find a way to rescue her instead. If you're asking about the part afterwards, basically Cocolia is affiliated with a group called Anti-Entropy, a group that researches and combats the Honkai, a threat to humanity.

A Herrscher is born when a large amount of Honkai Energy focuses in one individual and Cocolia was planning to capture and research Raiden Mei, the Third Herrscher to see if that would provide a hint to saving Seele. She fails to capture Mei and Kiana, Mei and Bronya all end up joining Shicksal, one of Anti-Entropy's rival groups that are also researching and combating the Honkai and the game's main story begins after the three of them joined Shicksal.

Well, this is a very confusing read. Is the storytelling of the game also this... whatever you would describe this comic as? And is it also this dark?

On a completely unrelated note, before I actually began reading, I thought for some reason this series would be like Gamma. I very quickly learned I was completely off the mark.

The later half of chapter 2 and chapter 3 are a flashback. There's some jargon that you might not understand unless you played the game, but other than that, I think the story is straightforward enough.

Well, this kind of clears some things up. Good to know Sin has literally always been a little shit whose best use is as a bullet sponge.

I've been playing... uh, I guess it's HI2? But the English translation is... uh, spotty. So it's often fairly confusing what's actually happening. I can say for sure, though, that Kiana is such a useless lesbian. Mei's never gonna take a hint at this rate.

You mean Guns Girl/Honkai Gakuen? Yeah, it's a bit confusing what the first Honkai/Houkai game is supposed to be. Some say that FlyMe2TheMoon, the largely plotless game starring Kiana is the first game. Others say the early version of Guns Girl back when it was still called Zombiegal Kawaii is the first game in the series. It's also possible that the 3 in Honkai Impact 3 doesn't even refer to it being the third game in the series but the fact that main characters largely get involved after the Third Honkai.

The english in Honkai Impact isn't the best, but it made a lot more sense than GGZ when I tried it out.

The plot of Guns Girl and Honkai Impact is quite not the same though, but the do share much of the same cast and some storylines are pretty much identical between them. It's probably best to think of the two as Alternate Universes of each other.

A few pages were removed here and there and a whole arc (100+ pages) was removed from the "main story" most likely because China no longer wants certain historical figures being depicted as characters (around the same time F/GO got banned). For the people who thought it was a bit disjointed before the censorship, the missing arc makes it way worse since it actually directly connects the two arcs before and after it.

Sorry, do you happen to know which arc was removed? I'm trying to figure it myself, but my chinese is quite limited.

The Xuanyuan arc or whatever 圣痕之秘篇 translates to. It's the one after Theresa meets Sakura. Should be chapters 15 - 22. This site sort of has them, though some of the links don't work properly. Someone managed to find them and upload them: https://void.cat/#6cfcb3a4137d7c5d5e1315230551722c24ca63bf

Someone on Mangadex also informed me that someone on 4chan was keeping track of which pages were missing and found out how to still access the by playing around with the links. I've backed up the missing pages, so if you need them and they get removed, just leave me a message:

Can someone please explain to me why did she put snow into her mouth before shooting the witch in the First chapter?

I'm only asking that because that's like the third time I've seen an anime character doing so while trying to ambush someone in a snowfield...

A classic example was in Rurouni Kenshin when an assassin tried to kill Kenshin Himura in a snow-filled forest. Everytime he attacked him by surprise, the assassin would grab a handfull of snow and put it in his mouth before attacking again.

Why though? Is It somekind of a Lucky charm or a tatic to calm the nerves or there is actually a pratical reason behind It?

Eating snow lowers body temperature, so they do that to prevent their breath from showing in the cold and give away their location.

I don't know what source the translation is being made from, by the way, but I heard the original chinese source is censored

It was censored quite recently, about a few weeks back. The translations are being based on the state it was in before it got censored. In fact, the page with Bronya licking Seele's tears was one of the pages removed.
