Howdy y'all, Kiwi here

I had TL'd this some months ago, not long after finishing the previous chapter. Unfortunately, we all got really busy, and I'm not exactly qualified to really TS this series up to standard. I ended up doing it in the end, but don't love it.

Oh! Right, so about the character at the end of the chapter I didn't translate...
the 三 and 八 gags were pretty self explanatory even across languages. 肉 however, is a bit different. According to Osis, 肉 on the forehead is typically meant to be used as an insult in a sort of "meat for brains" way.
I didn't know how to translate it in one word that felt right so I decided not to do it at all.

really?
I thought it was just a reference to kinnikuman
I don't think it has that specific meaning

 

[Pajil]

Kinnukuman mantaro?

That’s what Osis told me, he also told me it was probably a reference but that was 3 months ago so I forgot

Never really thought about how much of a nuisance translating a series like this would be. Appreciate your hard work!

have you stopped translating the meanings of the kanji on the face?
I get not translating the ミ and the 八, but I felt like I was missing out by not knowing what the other on-cheek kanji in this chapter meant

I got the meat joke and the other stuff, but what about the other kanji you missed? Like the actual ones on her cheek

Yeah, it probably originated there. And then spread across japanese culture. I myself saw it in Sexy Commando Gaiden. And I saw a lot of it there

Nope, just missed them in the typeset. I translated them, just wasn’t looking for them. I’ll make those fixes later today.

Mea culpa

Ah how lovely, ty for the TL. While it is low stakes I really enjoy the art and character design. The misunderstanding are fun

 

[AnelaceFan]

Maybe some variant of "hyperfocus"? Birdbrain or something can have that derogatory meaning, but I guess that's a perk of localisation...
