Really funny that this manga from 2013 that takes place in 2024 is getting translated in 2024

Why do some people write romaji words like sempai or shimbun when those words are written せんぱい and しんぶん in furigana? Are they saying ん is 'm'? I see people who are much much better than I at Japanese doing this, so I wonder what the reasoning is...

Romanizing ん as 'm' before any p-kana (the ぱ series) is an older convention, and usually these days those cases will be written like 'senpai' or 'shinbun'. I used 'shimbun' here because that's part of the official English name for newspapers like Asahi Shimbun or Tokyo Shimbun, which got their romanized titles way back when.

I knew there was a good explanation, thanks!

I don't know anything about redrawing, cleaning, or typesetting, but the English in this chapter is very well done -- word choice and flow are all good. Thanks for the great translation!
