Why did the giant gain an extra chromosome from page 13 onwards, but was speaking normally in the pages prior?

I love chapters that could be cut out completely and nothing would be different.

Unless you're someone who automatically skips all intro pages, you'll read it and therefore it affects you. It shouldn't, it's not a translator's place to tell readers how they should feel about a translated work. It's disrespectful to the original work and towards readers for a translator to...

It's bad when a translator tries to influence how people should interpret a chapter. You are not the author, keep your own world views to yourself. Just translate it and let people read and interpret it how they normally would have, without coaching them beforehand to think of certain things...

The slight upgrade in art quality is not worth the loss of soul and the increased censorship.

Least abusive lesbian relationship

That's the etymology of the word, so where it originally came from, but not the meaning when used in Japanese. That meaning is provided under the sub-sections for nouns and verbs just underneath that part. In context of the chapter text I believe "genderswap yuri", for example, would be more...

Please don't translate "TS" (Roman characters are used in the raws) as "trans" (page 2, first panel), it's wrong in almost all cases, but especially here. It's most commonly used to refer to genderbent characters in fiction such as manga and doujinshi (see also the Japanese section of the...

I see what you're saying, but to me overly modern language juxtaposed with a historical setting feels out of place in a negative way by itself, even if it's spoken by a narrator, doubly so when it's a somewhat contentious term. I would feel the same if the narrator had said 'disabled' in the...

It took 500 chapters, but Ippo is finally going to get in the robot ring.

"people of color" in the translation feels out of place, as that's a very modern Americanized construction. The raw text is yūshoku jinshu (有色人種), which is commonly translated as "colored race" (you can google that and see examples of that translation). That fits the speaker and historical...

"bruh" in translations 🤮

The translation uses "n-word" on page 14, what is the original Japanese for this? Edit: found it: "差別用語連発の楽曲... この高校は失格だな..." or "A song with a series of discriminatory terms... This high school is disqualified...". I thought it sounded very localized, so I was just curious what the original said.

It reads pretty awkwardly to have him go "their attacks" when it's a 1-on-1, especially when he already called her "she" multiple times last chapter.

"Waist of space" in an official translation

raped

I am Dutch myself, I still disagree completely. Zwarte Piet also punishes and abducts children, but that one similarity is not enough to make him a version of the Krampus character. He also does not wear a Santa suit, he never has. He has his own distinct outfit.

Completely wrong.

In earlier chapters the narrative felt very disjointed, jumping all over the place between chapters. These last few chapters have been much better.

The way people talked about the first chapter, I was expecting 5 full-page spreads of overly cruel rape or something, but it's literally just 1 panel that also serves a purpose by heightening the guy's motivation for revenge. Grow some skin, jeez.
