Nice, thanks for the translation

This is unrelated, but I enjoy that the "four excited dudes" pose is now ingrained into manga this much.

Thanks for the upload. Appreciate your hardwork.

I wonder why having long black hair is important haha

For real though, I liked some of the casting, but I hate when they feel the need to include an original character that most likely will be Miko's love interest. I would be surprised if I was wrong on that and even better if he was actually some sort of ghost, an actual good twist, but from what I watched those live action adaptations, original characters are always bad and I feel bad for the original authors agreeing with that sort of thing, because it could give the wrong impression for potential new readers that Miko might have a love interest, which isn't the point of the manga.

Thanks for the translation!!!

I bought the (still-in-stock!) Meme-chan and Lambda Rabbit plushies! Whatever issues I am likely to have with the movie and its adaptive changes, I'm thankful it exists for them. It is ending or has already ended its theater run, so I hope Netflix or Amazon Prime picks its up. That's basicly the only way I as an American am gonna be able to see it.

I hope Japan can finally move on from the overly exaggerated expressions and gestures in acting that mimics anime/2d character expressions. Time and time again I am reminded that it just does not work and makes me skinned myself or cringe.

Also a VIAO laptop!

After so many chapters, it was unusual not to see Michiru in the main cast, hehe. But in general, I like it when the author is as excited as the audience about the adaptation of his work. It's cute and wholesome.

Depends on the genre and style. Mieruko is a comedy horror, but I think it's serious enough to make the acting more realistic.

I will tell you this

The movie shares the same title, several characters with the same names, and the same ... uh... themes
I mean, if we go by MAL's tags: Comedy, Horror

and... that's pretty much it...

Honestly, this one was tough to translate 😭

My Japanese isn't great and I haven't seen the movie, so a lot of the movie related stuff (like the stage greetings and so on) might not be translated 100% correctly. Can't say for sure since I don't have any context, but I tried my best 🙏

This was super interesting, thanks for your hard work

Miko has to have long black hair

I saw the trailer... I don't want to discourage others that would like this but it pretty much had and didn't have everything I thought it would. I still have the manga so I don't really mind though.

It's been a while so I don't remember if it's either addressed in the work, but I was thinking reading Act-Age, that an actress like Yonagi, the embodiment of Method acting and the Stanislavski etho, getting really popular would be just what Japan needs to put an end to this mainstream cringy overacting.

It's often not an issue when I watch indie Japanese movies, it's truly ingrained though in those big productions, like one for a manga adaptation for instance. Where young and upcoming actors are brought in and need to follow the standards of the industry to keep getting promising work. Hell, sometimes they're chosen because their pretty face sells even if they can't even act for shit, not even this overacted standard.

It's really not there where they and directors are free to make art, they're encouraged to make profit as safely as possible, so it sucks when the status-quo is terrible.

I'm always puzzled that despite knowing how popular anime got throughout the world, Japan only cares to cater to their domestic market, so as long as Japanese will keep making them bank, they'll have no reason to raise the level.

But from our POV as fans, it feels like we're doomed to never enjoy those live adaptations because they're always made the equivalent of the CW and its recipe (hot actresses and actors, acting ability optional, singing appreciated in case of a musical episode per season, writers need to be cringy theater kids, need to be available for 9 seasons or 5 sequels, or ready for an early axe!).

Thanks for the chapter.

is that fucking tectone?

I was so confused by this comment until I looked up Tectone's mascot (that I forgot he had). Damn, uncanny now that you pointed it out.

 

[REMasher]

Ayyy, that's awesome

Thanks for the translation. Is the manga on hiatus right now?
