Hi everyone, I'm stuck on something again.

なんだかんだクリスタクリクリ、とか言ってますがアニちゃんもいいですよね。

Some context: this sentence is a comment by the author. クリスタ (Christa) and アニ (Annie) are the names of two characters, and the author is pretty fond of Christa.

Now, what I'm wondering is: what is クリクリ? I searched for possible translations for it, but I didn't find any sensible translation in this context...

If it helps, the background for Christa is she's a recent academy recruit (ranked top 10 for her year) in a world where the human race is nearly extinct due to being eaten by crazy near-immortal giants that have an odd desire to stuff their stomachs full of humans (yes it's pretty horrorific, the original story)

She's essentially the smallest (or close to that)/cutest of the top 10 students (that more/less make up the cast of the story) and is the target of affection of both guys and girls (everyone wants to marry her)

I checked the jaded network and got [thejadednetwork.com] http://thejadednetwork.com/sfx/browse/kuri_kuri/
(2) *very round* (eyes)

Which kinda goes with her character depiction in the [www.mangareader.net] original story [www.mangareader.net] maybe? Most other characters have much more "normal" looking eyes in the story. Added to her small stature... her eyes stand out quite a bit

edit: but hopefully a translator will have better insight as to what's going on there ^^

Hey. Could someone help with a few lines? They're from the Mangaka's rambling on the last page of a Queen's Blade doujin, and I'm having a bit of trouble...

まさしくカトレアさんの乳は砲弾以外のナニモノでも無いじゃないですか。ああ．．．。砲弾．．．。ハルク砲
弾．．．（０点）。

He said something earlier about shell (as in bullet shells) shaped breasts, and I think this means something like "Are Cattleya's breasts really nothing like anything but bullets? Ah... Bullets.... Hulk bullets... (0 Points)." The long, double negative with a question is throwing me off... and I've no idea what ハルク砲弾 is supposed to be...


世間知らずのボンボンでした。ボンパイエー。

I get the first bit (he was just talking about not knowing some PC stuff). The ボンパイエ I'm not 100% sure of. Some googling makes me think that it's in reference to a chant used in a [en.wikipedia.org] boxing match, he's using it like a "頑張るよ！！yeah!!" type thing... but If someone else has any other ideas, that'd be helpful.

Thanks.

Now, what I'm wondering is: what is クリクリ?

Seems no clear meaning there.
But, some meanings in it.

1:
Like Slobber already mentioned, it means "cute eye with a large iris".

2:
"クリクリ" is often used for nickname of "Kuri-", "Cri-", "Chri-" or something (like "栗林", "クリステル" and so on) in Japan. Also this is often used to keep the rhythm of words like some puns.

3:
Indirect wording of "Clitoris".

I think this means something like "Are Cattleya's breasts really nothing like anything but bullets? Ah... Bullets.... Hulk bullets... (0 Points)." The long, double negative with a question is throwing me off... and I've no idea what ハルク砲弾 is supposed to be...

Like that.
But "howitzer shells" will be fit than "bullets".

And "ハルク砲弾" is pun from name of professional wrestler "ハルク・ホーガン([en.wikipedia.org] Hulk Hogan)" (also metaphor of "massive").

世間知らずのボンボンでした。ボンパイエー。

"ボンバイエー(BOM-BA-YE)" is also pun from "ボンボン" and "Yeah!", and came from "Boma ye" (means "beat him" or something) of [en.wikipedia.org] Lingála.
In Japan, this words are well known as in "[en.wikipedia.org] 炎のファイター - INOKI BOM-BA-YE", the entrance theme of professional wrestler "Antonio-Inoki".

Just trying to get a grasp of the bottom half.

Could go with: "Y- You haven't..." / "beaten me...yet..." / "Are you sure?"

That works for me. And one more from it "ラピス…私が思う以上の"

Something like her being expected to win?

Something like..."She/That girl seems to have even more potential than I thought."

ええつ
Eeh-
じゃ　じゃあ　どうすれば　いいの？
Then, how should I do it?

One more for Xration~! Is the rest of it jumbled SFX, or is that actual lines?

One more for Xration. (I really need a dedicated proofreader.)(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) And does anyone know what ぜろぴ could mean?

Not sure about the ヒキ, maybe "Eep!".

After that: "H-...", "Hold o-...!", "Mff" (?), そんなの無理無: "There's no way that's" (not sure if there's an exclamation point at the end of that or what).

And does anyone know what ぜろぴ could mean?

[www.roguard.net] Jellopy. Apparently not much of a "treasure".

"It's hot!", "Now I'll never get married!"

Thanks (again) People.

Are you sure about this one? I have no idea what "無理無" is supposed to mean, and can't find it in a dictionary... My best bet, as I discussed with Shanko via PM, is that there is a "い" at the end, making the thing "そんなの無理無い", that is to say, "むり ない" at the end, and presumably this would mean that "(whatever) is not impossible".
Could you explain how you are interpreting the thing?

Like: そんなの無理無(理) . I'm fairly sure of that, and would certainly bet on that over 無い.
