Hey.

 

[PredatorDuck]

Despite what two people might've suggested in the last chapter's comments, please do not actually use Comic Sans. Despite its name, comic sans was NOT designed to be a comic font but rather draws inspiration from the cartoonish tone of speech bubbles but was intended for software, specifically on very low resolutions during the Windows 95 era. Especially since one of those comments also suggested Arial which is definitely not a suitable font for manga typesetting.

While it's true it's a very legible font (especially for people with dyslexia), it comes across as if a child scribbled the letters on a page. If you take a look at official manga publications, there's a very good reason why none of these use the font because it also comes across as incredibly unprofessional. There are plenty of fonts specifically designed for manga to be perfectly readable that do not look like an invitation to a children's birthday party.

If you want actual fonts suitable for a manga, here's a image I still had saved of a random assortment of Jump series and the fonts that their official English publications use, and most of them can be found easily by googling the font name plus "CC" (Comicraft):

I was more thinking about the fact their teacher was snape, hadn't even noticed the comic sans

Well its easier to read, as a fan translation. But if a person knows how to typeset, then use what they suggest. Some people do obsess over this stuff but I think its okay as long as its legible.

I haven't typeset a comic since the 90's 😅.

Thank you for the translation

Thank you! But where did ch. 1 go?

Thank you for the scan

Hello Snape. You're kind of in the wrong school, but at least you're not black.

 

[monkey123]

That teacher is definitely Snape. Who is Potter, who is Ron and who is Hermine?

 

[PfortnerLehrer]

Thank you! But where did ch. 1 go?

Regarding Chapter 1, I have no clue what happened to it, I wasn't the one that uploaded it so not sure if they removed it or what, and for the debate on what font, I'm just going to use Anime ace for all text moving forward and I don't want to hear any complaints on the font because I've changed it three times and it feels like people and constantly not happy about it; and Chapter 3.5 will be uploaded tomorrow. If there is anyone other changes people want say it before tomorrow.

 

[hahano]

oh no she heard it! also where did ch.1 go?

 

[VampireLord1024]

oh no she heard it! also where did ch.1 go?

The Snape like teacher in this chapter hid it from what I'm told, (joking).

Oh god, I forgot the person who won the prize is in their class.

And now everyone knows the change is caused by pain, stress, trauma, etc.

First of all, Funabashi-san might start to blame herself for Richou becoming like this.

Secondly, the literature club members might make fun of Richou for crashing out so hard.

Third, other people might start to blame Funabashi-san. Rumors, gossip, all sorts of mean shit, spreads like crazy in high school.

And fourth, it might prompt some other kind of retaliation from the literature club, pre-emptive or otherwise, trying to rationalize kicking him/her out, all the critiques they had of his/her writing when (s)he tried to join, his/her terrible behavior.

And I imagine Richou just wants to live an undisturbed, simple life, making as little waves as possible. Go to school, go home, write his/her story, sleep, repeat.

You do what you think is right, its impossible to please everyone

Thank you for putting in the effort to translate, I hope you continue this series because its sad its been unloved for so long.

Thanks for the tl, little question tho, did everyone actually switched pronoun and called "her" she, or it is one of the many case where in japanese it is not really specified and left to context and it is a localisation choice to immediately switch to fem pronoun as we have no real indication on which one they use?

As previously stated in my chapter 2 credits, I'm using A.I. to translate so I'm not sure, if someone that does know the original language would be able to help than we might have answer but sadly, I don't know, sorry man.

Sorry to burst some bubbles on spoilers but, I'm going to give you a good Ole nope on alot of these, I don't say what does happen but not those, it's a pretty wholesome manga, nothing really like bullying or that, maybe a few idiots like those who baboons but that's about it.
