Isekai Meikyuu no Saishinbu o Mezasou - Ch. 35.5 - Celebration for the release of volume 7 of the manga

[MangaDex]

I might change the chapter number to 36.5 when I release Ch36, tho I would like to hear your opinion on that.
Also because Ch40 is releasing, you guys should expect Ch39 alongside the batch that I promised.
If any of you know any LHtranslation folk that can edit the past chapters to add the volume numbers let me know.
That's all, have a good week!

Thanks for the TL! God, I'm glad that this manga survived the purge (even though it's licensed iirc).

It is! I'm mostly using it to practice my JP, but if Warinai herself asks me to stop I would relent immediately.

Thanks for the translation. As novel reader, I know from the next chapter it would be a train wreck. in a good way, of course.

Is the author female?

 

[Tarafdera1]

Is the author female?

It's unconfirmed but Tarisa(1st name) is a feminine name(atleast the 'Tari' part)
That +another reader(friend) saying that the author's words is structured similarly to 86's Asato(x2) makes them believe Warinai's a woman
I'm mostly using the she&hers when talking to my reader friends

The typesetting on this chapter was a bit rough

The typesetting on this chapter was a bit rough

Was it the “angled” text or maybe the fonts? Making it legible is pretty important, so I’d like to know.

If it’s the pure vertical text I could just make the letters “stack”, as for the angled text it making it less extreme or just making it more “normal” are my only option there.

Don't throw your weight around if you have none. And even if you do, probably don't.

Those two were definitely major factors. I think the font choice probably could have been better, with anything with serifs out for sure. The vertical bubblesis just an inherent issue with that, and groups where I worked as typesetter generally hated just putting letters in order but sideways text isnt't really much better. It's an issue that doesn't really have a clear cut answer.

I'd probably ease up for switching between fonts, and make sure all of the text is in caps since that's how comics are typically typeset. Capitalization in comics is usually done by making one character larger.

Also the shape of the words is important, you want to have the text form a bubble or diamond shape if possible.

I’ll probably make any ‘short’ sentences stack when it’s a vertical bubble else I’ll just write it as I have so far.

The font switching comes from the manga using 4 different fonts so I’ve been trying to see what ‘fits’ and what doesn’t
My current selection being: Ames, Kristen ITC, Banshrift/Franklin Gothic and Amarante

As for the caps it’s more of a preference thing, but I’ll atleast try it out next chapter(no guarantee the readers will see it tho)

I’ve mostly been trying to keep it in a round shape, tho I’ve also been avoiding cut-ting any words so it’s easier to read(for me and others like me)

All-in-all it’s good advice, thank you.

I knew it. Already thought about it when I saw the MC portrayed as a yandere rich talented guy with family issues in a shoujo manga. I also remember reading probably the bleakest part in the webnovel, then there is the author's note:

ここまで来るとぶっちゃけますが、心の折れたイケメンが性癖かもですね。
Koko made kuru to butcha kemasuga, kokoro no oreta ikemen ga seiheki kamodesu ne.
(I'll be honest at this point, but I think I like handsome men with broken hearts.)

Looking at 86, I see the pattern here

Spoiler: Realizing that

Kanami goes from a typical toxic ML in a Shoujo/Villainess manga(with parents that play a romantic drama on a world scale)
Into a failure of a person who’s patheticness makes him lovable, would have AO3 and Tumblr go feral

Warinai-sensei once again proving that indulging in your fetishes just makes you better.

Also if I remember right, in one of her author impressions(her re-reading the WN) she says:
｢I like beautiful boys and girls with broken hearts who move forward despite it all｣
