FWIW, I appreciate the thought, and I don't want to imply what I've been doing on the site so far isn't worth anything - if I say "I use MTL", I don't mean I just run a script and call it a day. Hopefully it should be obvious, but I spend quite a lot of time on these - this chapter took me an...

I'll back off, then. I hadn't started 2 yet, so no worries. EDIT: And I'll delete this once you've got yours up.

So sorry about this (EDIT: I accidentally uploaded it incomplete first try) - my finger slipped uploading this (I was getting tired doing this on a crappy internet connection, went to do something else, came back and clicked on the wrong button). I'll try and get the rest done as quick as I can...

Bah, if anyone sees the incomplete upload, my finger slipped. That'll teach me to try and do other stuff at the same time, while I'm ill IRL. Sorry about this - I'm going to keep adding the missing pages rather than wipe it entirely, since it's taking me forever on my crappy internet connection.

It's a hard one to comment on because I'm not an expert on anything related to this, and I'm guessing the author didn't want to go too far into spelling stuff out because she is at least partly talking about a real person, and drawing on real stuff that happened to her or around her, even if the...

Okay, I've just about got this done. If anyone else is about to upload it, then by all means ignore the rest of this and go about your day. ...otherwise, I'm just running some final QA and tweaking things here and there, but my main problem is I haven't read the books (I'd have to do it with...

Totally fair point, and I admit I did "Um..." and "Ah..." over that specific line a bit - it could maybe be "fair" at least. I suppose I partly went with that since while I can't really "read" Japanese - as in, I don't really have a proper idea what the style of language the author is using is...

It's very weird seeing something I started on a whim lead to this much discussion, I swear. (I know these aren't giant forum threads or anything but it's more than I expected.) For all I'm "not a proper translator", I'm still pretty confident I haven't mistranslated anything to the extent that...

Ha, you didn't think you were getting a fight scene just yet, did you? Nope, it's mostly, and lots of 'em. (Also Hana really does just say "A, sou da" or whatever at the very end, and I thought I can't simply translate that as "Yes, that is true" or whatever... hopefully it doesn't come...

It gets a fair bit grimmer in the second half, just to warn you. (This is where the "One snowy day" comes from, as well.) Anyone reading this might notice I started to do some of the bigger SFX (which I do not normally do), but some minor RL health problems meant I was kinda going slower with...

Dumbass error: Hana's sidekick is Hachi, not Hatsu (somehow I missed that the first time this comes up it makes it very clear it's the kanji, not the hiragana). A small thing (he's only named a few times in this first chapter), but I figured if there's a mistake I know for certain is there, I...

Thought I might as well get this out of the way. Sorry for the brief glitch where I didn't include the volume number, if anyone noticed. Being ill IRL right now is screwing with my concentration.

Nope, Chapter 1 is definitely the original oneshot. The chapters that the other two groups have done are exactly the same as what they uploaded here, they've just got the titles and Ponta's age at the time added to the first page, and some of them have an... intertitle? with the series logo...

Is this the first chapter/forum thread you've read? I did try and make this stuff clear, so... sorry if it wasn't enough, I guess? But short answer: the mangaka worked in hostess bars, drinking places etc. when she was in college, and "Mii-chan" is inspired by an actual young woman she met who...

Trying to do a shonen/seinen series, take two (since I stepped on somebody's toes with the last one I attempted). Was anyone waiting to do this? Hopefully I didn't make any horrible/shameful mistakes with the kanji readings and the specific translations and whatnot, but feel free to laugh - I...

Okay, an explanation for this; I'm going by the collected volumes, so if anyone cares: Volume 1 is: Chapter 1 (MD 0 - it starts with the original one-shot), 2 (I've just added this), 3, 4 (MD 11), 5 (MD 3), 6 (MD 14), 7 (MD 9), 8 (MD 6), 9, 10 (MD 21), 11 (MD 7), 12 (MD 12), 13 (MD 4), 14 (MD...

I can do some of this, if anyone wants. Dunno how much or how often, but I'd be happy to translate a few at least. If kleoclie's still planning to do it or if someone else was about to pick it up, fair enough, just let me know. Or alternatively, I'd be going by the collected volumes, so they'd...

Zero hard feelings if you want this one. Happy to back away. I cannot do SFX like that/I don't have the time and this mangaka does a lot of them, plus I have plenty of other series to be getting on with (as in I've been considering/working on a bunch of other series as well as the things I've...

That's the effect I was hoping for - I'm a Creative Writing grad, so in theory I know how to wurds gud in English and I have some understanding of how language and translation work in general. I couldn't do anything without MTL, and I cannot properly speak or read Japanese by any stretch of the...

On the one hand, but on the other hand, so far in the raws this absolutely does not get "happy", and things do not get "fixed". It's not shock/edgelord stuff at any point (...yet! Fingers crossed she doesn't cross that line), but it remains relatively grim. I absolutely don't blame anyone for...
