nah his nonplussed expression makes it clear that the joke here is nothing would change if they were dating because they're already used to going at it like rabbits
•refuses to ever engage with the actual central point of what the other guy is saying, instead breaking shit down line by line into semantic nonsense
•"he just has poor reading comprehension that's why I'm not responding to this"
Right.
Conflating someone briefly skimming the chapter, seeing a title used, and forgetting the context with someone not having a basic understanding of honorofics is the most bad faith argument I've seen in a while. No matter how much you try to bend over backwards to insist that nobody could possibly...
Aight, I will admit I saw him call Hayate "lord" and conflated the two in my head when I saw that other post and decided to go on my rant, but lord does make sense in that context considering the dude's position. This TL isn't as bad as I made it out to be.
I stand by what I said though, I...
Some people getting things wrong isn't a good justification to support translations that get it even more wrong as a baseline.
Honorifics aren't some super obscure thing that never ever comes up, and there's not 500 different ones to learn. Anyone who's been enough of a weeb to look up...
the expected flow of this conversation (in fictional media) is that the girl goes "iyaaa~ no way that'll fit~♥♥♥" and then they j-j-jam it in anyway
the joke is that she said his dick is huge in a seductive manner but he took it serioiusly and feels bad
Something flavored like a soda!
Like how you can talk about fruit-flavored candy without specifying the fruit.
If I had to guess, probably cola or ramune, those are the two most common soda-inspired flavors I've seen for Japanese candies.
I was being pretty hyperbolic when I said "every other," but the slave wife/slave harem trope is definitely way more common than it ought to be. I'm not sure what's worse, the ones where the girls insist on being slaves, or the ones where it's just taken for granted that they're slaves and...
Dang, that's pretty much the smoothest possible translation you could hope for too. I assume they changed it because it seems a little unnatural in english, but it's really the only way it makes sense...
I kinda liked Shield Hero for this reason too, Naofumi already had trust issues and was given a lot of good reasons to double down on them. It's not exactly a shining star amongst the already low bar of isekai, but I liked that it actually gave a believable justifcation for the whole "my closest...
Agreed.
I don't mind slow burn, but then it should be something like Horimiya slow burn, where progress is gradual but measurable and the start of the relationship is only the end of the first arc rather than the end of the whole damn thing. I'm tired of reading 200 chapters of romance where...
Of course, there's plenty of other manga where it does become a full-blown accidental confession where one person thinks they're in a relationship while the alleged confessor has no clue they said it.
Usually it's some contrived shit like they're trying to say "I love the weather today" but a...
It's not really an "accidental confession," just a momentary misunderstanding.
Basically, just keep in mind that Japanese doesn't use as many pronouns and articles and is more context dependant than English. In most cases like this (because something like this happens in just about every...
