I've eaten bugs on occasion when I was young, but they were the usual commercial stuff, with such strong flavors like sour cream and onions that it barely felt like you were eating insects. I'm only mildly curious about the subject these days. Anyway, I thought this was a nice read. I didn't particularly care for how phallic the caterpillar looked, but otherwise, looking forward to more stories.

Had some tasty (and crispy!) grilled crickets a couple years ago. Fun fact, if you're allergic to shellfish (that is, crustaceans) there's a good chance you'll be allergic to insects too.

Gotta be more open minded about eating stuff :thumbsup:

Ah yeah, I should be open minded, but I prefer to eat "normale" food. I don't even like sushi. But I love ramen.

Ain't this author a pedophile? Like, an actual one with a court case?

Yeah, he's a pedophile, unfortunately. He was sentenced to one year and two months in prison with a suspended three year sentence, a pretty lenient sentence, but that's how it goes in Japan. However I'm not interested in his personal life, I'm interested only in his manga, his art.

Getting caught importing child porn from Germany is alot more that a bit of "trouble with the law". Everytime a scanalator says something like that it makes my ear perk up it usually ends like this.

Aren't you able to appreciate the art, while despising the author? Do you want me to delete this scanlation? What do you want from me? I'm not the pedophile here.

I never said you should do anything, I just pointed out how you downplayed what he did. Do whatever you want, but doing what you did feels like you know how sick what he did was.

I knew, but I can't cancel what he did, unfortunately. I can only Hope that he won't do it again.

I just hope if another mangaka whose manga you scanalate does something this sick all I might ask you to do is just not downplay it and say what they did. Keep translating all you want, it's the downplaying I hate.
No, I didn't downplay anything. I just didn't specify what he did. But Google exists, you know.

He is right you know, the way it was explained was so vague I had the check the comments to get more details, I too feel it was downplayed to say the least

If you played it with irony (by saying something like he liked cute and funny thingies a tad too much he got jailed") the downplaying part would be less "problematic" in our eyes

What "irony"? I just said that he had trouble with justice, that basically made him quit his professional careeer as a mangaka (the publisher dumped him). In fact now he does only some illustrations and some hentai manga to make a living. I mean, he deserved that.
I, as a reader, I'm just disappointed I won't read any other Galko-chan's stories.
