The word she used was "冷凍保存" (lit: frozen/cold preservation). This can mean anything from normal freezing/cold storage to cryopreservation (seemingly anyway, I'm not an expert), although it's definitely not freeze-dried. Deep-freezing is a real food preservation method which involves quickly...

Interesting, I never looked at her previous works. I might read through that, although knowing ahead of time it hasn't been finished properly kinda sucks. Hopefully it gets a real ending!

Just took a look at it (was reading that series for a while but fell off of it after the... really bad pocky game > sports festival arc, but it looks like things got back on track) and yeah I can't say I blame them considering how much redrawing that letter would entail. That's a rock and a hard...

TBH, after thinking on it more I'm kinda with you? I think it's a vibes-based thing and it's impossible to strictly define where it's appropriate and where it isn't. The shopping street sign from a few chapters ago? Obviously should be left in Japanese. Text messages on a phone? Obviously should...

I'm a little confused as to why you say that, because there are several threads that it seems like the author has set up to tug on later: As far as I can tell, we're very much still in the setup phase of whatever the story is going to focus on, but it definitely seems like it's going to...

Yeah, despite what I wrote in the credits page I figured it was gonna have cheesy connotations in JP too. It screams the sort of thing you would read in a shonen manga. I think it doesn't really work as a joke in my TL because I had a hard time highlighting how absurd of a thing to say it is...

It is explained later that (mild spoilers for the next couple chapters)

Nice catch! I'm not big into fighting games so I just thought they were playing some generic fighter, but you're right, the UI looks like an exact match and the moves seem to line up decently. Pretty cool!

I'm actually happy you brought it up, because I find these little nuances in translation very interesting. I don't see it as an argument where one side is wrong and one side is right, I think almost all interpretations are equally valid. Also, these discussions basically perfectly mirror what...

Yeah, this is exactly why I prefer "them". "It" is generally a pronoun used for inanimate objects in English, and tends to come off rather derogatory when used for anything people ascribe personhood to, including pets and humanoid robots like Aoi. For reference, Arkady is only referred to by...

Quite possibly. Either one is fairly likely I would say.

The old guy isn't Aoi's owner (who is also a freak), he's just a random client at the tech's shop.

Just a heads up, chapter 5 is almost complete and should be out sometime next week. However, my main monitor just died on me, leaving me with only my small secondary monitor. I can still do work using it, but it's kinda painful, so the timing of chapter 6+ is up in the air for now. If I can get...

The mat was there in chapter 1 too! Isaku was in fact a huge pervert (I mean, come on, he got a sexbot modelled after the idol he was stanning)

Added extra pages from the volume version. Might do chapter 3 in the near future if I can find time.
