    Aliens - Vol. 2 Ch. 14.6 - Side Story 1

    "Halluci" is the new Japanese term for AI hallucination, so that's fine as a translation. I found this out by reading a few Japanese AI papers and having them translated by Gemini, which for some reason couldn't figure out what the term was, so I looked up the exact word in the original Japanese...

    Anna Komnene - Vol. 3 Ch. 15

    John apparently never learned how to handle poisoned arrows properly.

    Outen no Mon - Vol. 4 Ch. 16 - Calamity befalls Ariwara no Narihira 2

    This manga is actually very good at conveying the level of sexual liberty noblewomen had in the Heian era. Japanese people of today have a mistaken view of ancient chastity because they came out of later samurai culture that was obsessed with family honor and put a lot more restrictions on...

    Nine Peaks - Vol. 16 Ch. 137 - Hello, Kenken

    Oh, so Kenken might have his dad this time around. In the original timeline Yuzuki didn't get the fight he got this time around and he also didn't disband his gang. He just left the gang without closure.

    Amateur Vigilante - Ch. 62 - Escape

    I think the funniest thing is that the police are now going to mistakenly tag Ojiro as a domestic terrorist and they'll be exactly right because that's exactly what he was.

    Wicked Spot - Ch. 10

    They weren't animal spirits. They were magically-potent girls who lived in the wild then became witches. They manifested their magic by turning into were-animals due to their origins. So it's more that witches seem to be the originator of the monster legends, rather than that the monsters are...

    Wicked Spot - Ch. 10

    No, we already know she's bad news from ch. 1. Sadako was purposely kept out of human habitats by whoever her "parent" witch was, she has zero understanding of mortality or morals, and she somehow either outlived her parent, meaning she's more immortal than or outright killed her, or she was...

    Nezumi no Hatsukoi - Ch. 90 - Practice

    These aren't his subordinates. The yakuza he used to lead are back home. These guys are literally just waiting for him to remember something important they need. After that they plan to off him.

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Ch. 218

    So, what happened in the match seems to be that Tsujii DID actually lose because the move that Kiriyama thought Tsujii could make (8-3 Uma) had accidentally been rendered out of play in Tsujii's mind by Kiriyama's move in that space (8-3 Hi) and Tsujii couldn't figure out that solution himself...

    Toru ni Taranai - Vol. 4 Ch. 24

    I think it's her landlord, not tenant. She's the tenant.

    Shishosei - Vol. 1 Ch. 4 - Yang Xi

    I just saw your comment in the previous chapter about the Chinese literary fengshui gibberish, and I think the way you've done it here is perfect. Just translate the whole thing whole hog, no need to try to make sense of it. If you read cultivation donghua, the very best of them quote these...

    Nezumi no Hatsukoi - Ch. 89 - Descent

    So, if you remember how Butama was in the yakuza's memories, he was at one point seemingly a charismatic strongman that some of the more capable yakuza characters looked up to. That's not what he has been since. I have this weird feeling that his memories of himself already being the meek pedo...

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Ch. 217

    A single session in a pro shogi game averages 100 moves, so it isn't really attrition that got Tsujii to surrender (127 moves is long but not exceptionally so). I think what happened is that Rei was just fighting on blindly so he lost track of the forward moves, but Tsujii never did, so while...

    Maid Robot ga yattekita‼️ - Oneshot

    And this, folks, is why Xpeng had to cut open the skin of their robot waifu.

    Toru ni Taranai - Vol. 3 Ch. 21

    Well, except in that one nobody ever gets anywhere, but in this manga lotsa people do. Ironic when you remember which mangaka is the pro H one.
