Thanks for an actually decent TL.

Muchas dankie.
But HOLY SHIT COMMUNICATION.

This isn't why I have said it's not exactly BL, but it's not hurting my point. 🥁

@dple Page 1 second pannel: "peak" > "peek"

Ngl, Fox doesn't look half bad.

"Real boyfriend," even though he's pretending to be his girlfriend... Now why would he say that, I wonder?? Kind of implies that Inaho's not totally thinking about this as an entirely fake relationship, as he's bringing his real gender into it.

Its possible the noun was neutral.
I'll see if I can find a raw, because I can't afford to just buy one rn.

In the raw, Inaho uses カレシ (kareshi), which typically means boyfriend.
But generally I use masculine wording when the line comes from Inaho or Mori whether it’s internal thoughts or dialogue between them. I switch to feminine wording when other characters speak.

Good policy, and if it was in katakana originally, that's an interesting wrinkle.
For it to be written with phonetics at all says something about how it was said, but katakana makes it seem like it was said awkwardly in some way. Like someone saying "boyfriend" or "boy-... friend" or something.

Having 3 writing systems gives interesting options to a writer, but translation gets weird and awkward and hard.
The way particles can change the tone of a sentence without changing the literal meaning... Novels often don't have "Subaru said". They just let the manner of speech speak for itself.

That's what the gobi is for.

oh wow, we bullied that sniper TL off the site

i feel a bit bad for em, like it was clearly a new person who didn't know that sniping is bad, and they seemed like they really wanted to improve on their TL

...that said, that TL was just bad, so for me as a reader it is better this way. hope that person doesn't get too discouraged and keeps on TLing other stuff; everyone starts somewhere, english is a lot more difficult to learn properly if you have an east asian language as your first language, but I hope that person can stick with it and take it one step at a time
