Balala the Fairies Magazine (2014 July Issue) Cover

I managed to obtain a full 2014-2015 run of the Balala the Fairies magazine. I don't fathom ever owning the full run, but I have almost the entirety of the 2014-2016 run which I never thought possible, seeing how the magazine was already out of print for years before I tried acquiring them.

There are some illustrated stories and comics I'm tempted to put out translations for.

This is the full cover. It appears that almost every issue has a wrap-around cover except for the very first issue.

Balala the Fairies Magazine (2016 March Issue) Q Version Alliance Segment

This segment was from the Balala the Fairies magazine. Unlike the illustrated story or the comic adaptation of series, this segment wasn't collected into a book.

Translation notes for the first comic:

The actual term used is “土豪” which means “Tycoon”. The first half of that term - the word “土” means “Soil” or “Earth”. So [1] Noah asks Shirley if she knows what “Tycoon” means, to which [2] Shirley replies “Someone who has money”. [3] Noah follows this up, saying Shirley is “half a tycoon”, [4] because she already achieved being “Soil”.
