Her t-shirts tend to be ironic. So I wonder if her t-shirt is referring to the Microsoft tablet-style computer called Surface. In other words, "flat." (I'm pretty sure "flat" was what "horizon" was supposed to mean in the last chapter.)

I probably would have gone with: I'm in love. Then in the next balloon: With soda flavor. It's a little awkward, but at least it gets the Japanese intent across.

And here you go. Japanese hardly ever uses pronouns (or at least nowhere near to the extent that English does). You understand who or what they're talking about from context. So "I love it," and, "I love you," is the exact same phrase.

A Downer Gal is not "gloomy." It's a fashion style with the name taken from the drugs "downers" rather than the "debbie downer"-type of personality that brings down the mood. In other words, someone who does downer style wears more mellow clothing, accessories and makeup rather than going for...

Well, hell. There's a lot more story in the web novel, so it looks like it was canceled by the manga publisher. And if the manga gets canceled, I doubt they'll make it an anime unless the sales of the light novels somehow take off.

When you do machine translation, please doubt every pronoun the MT gives you. Japan is famous for subjectless sentences, so the program attaches a pronoun since English requires it. But the pronouns are decided almost at random. On the top of page 29, the text says, "And yet he is talentless...

Knights. Putting their lives on the line while putting their laundry on the line.

One thing I find really interesting is that in the afterword of LN Vol. 4, the original author said that Vol. 4 was basically a response to how the manga artist change in the adaptation of Alicia's personality. So we have the manga artist going in a different direction from the original author...

"Sensei" isn't just "teacher." Doctors, politicians, artists, authors and craftsmen can also be called "sensei." In this case, I'd probably change it to, "Master Smith" or some other title of honor.

FYI: Karamareru isn't two words, it's one. A verb. It means to get mixed up in someone's or something's business.

Fuck you back. If you're going to change it, at least change it to chicken soup. At least that has the cultural nuance of something you eat when you're sick. There's also souper rice, a western dish that combines soup and rice, and would look similar to the image (with the advantage of being...

Chill dude. It won't become a harem. One of the themes of the story is a criticism of harems.

The help wasn't pointless. He just lied when he said he was going to make sure Tojoin doesn't interfere. In reality, he went to make sure Tojoin doesn't interfere too early in the date or stop the date altogether. His involvement had messed up a few plot elements from the source material he had...

Dudes chill. I've read the web novel,

Glad you're doing the continuation! I forgot it completely until it showed up in my updates page. What a cute series!
