So, what exactly is this? The info states that publication started in 2004, so it's earlier than the Fate/stay night manga. Does anyone have more infos on this and is there an English translation available? I couldn't find much. Thanks.

its just an anthology - that is, an alternative story written and illustrated by other mangaka
(anthologies are not done by the original manga author themselves). think of it as a fan fiction in manga form.

edit: here is a list of some (not all) of the authors as well as a link to their published manga

オダワラハコネ (Odawara, Hakone)

内村かなめ (Uchimura, Kaname)
https://www.cmoa.jp/author/2771/

春日美歩 (Kasuka, Miayu)

神楽つな (Kagura, Tsuna)

寺本薫 (Teramoto, Isao)

双葉ますみ (Souyou, Masumi)

猫都夏椅 (manhua author, name is in Chinese i think)
https://www.manhuagui.com/author/2110/

overall, they dont seem to have that much experience. with anthologies, different mangakas will work on the anthology, each one being responsible for usually no more than one chapter.
as a general rule, dont expect the same level of quality as the original mangaka of the series.
sometimes you get lucky and an experienced mangaka is part of the team, but thats not always the case.

You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/.
The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish.
Show your support to your favorite artist if you can!
ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

Ah, that clears it up. It's very interesting, I didn't know that about the anthologies topic and that this was a thing. Thank you very much for the thorough explanation and the links, now I can take my research further.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
