@pip25 I have a call out to a guy very fluent in both languages. I try to avoid bothering him, but in this case...

@pip25 - Actually, there was a huge foreshadowing as to where things are going... but I only know that because I've seen the last chapter. Only one more chapter in this volume, and then the last volume. I agree about the odd line you pointed out, but I don't have a better way of looking at it...

And now for some story-telling. The guy before Yuu sure had his nose in the air! The translation this time around was a little dicey in places. Suggestions welcome from those who have access to the raws and know Japanese.

@Purplelibraryguy - At this point, I want to get this series over and done with. I've only been plugging at the chapters for six years now... That said, once this arc is done (four more chapters), then the series takes a fun break for the remainder of volume 9 before getting serious again in...

Karigari Hiroshi is losing it. Big time. This arc is finally nearing an end.

One semi-serious mess-up by the (Japanese) artist: in the Bookworm world, the "dogeza" does not exist. In fact, on the few occasions when Myne does this, nobody has a clue what she is doing. They're like "What are you doing, Myne?"

One case, coming right up? Or is it somebody's idea of a prank?

They certainly have some wild critters on this island...

@pip25 - "Cracking", in this case, is indeed "going crazy". At least in the flavor of English we speak around here...

Nothing spurs a bunch of girls into action quite like one of them stealing a march on the others. And Yuu is starting to show cracks from the strain. For "The Queen of Anatahan Island", see these links; https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2014/05/03/books/book-reviews/homage-queen-anatahan/...

@Vaevict15 - The story does evolve. The situation does not stay the same throughout. The main couple has a good ending, sort of, but I cannot say whether it is rushed or stilted. To be able to say that I would have to read the entire series in raw Japanese with good comprehension. I will...

Poor guy winds up even more confused. And she, even more frustrated. Life got busy here, so it's been a whole 18 days since I last released anything. It didn't help that this author can be a little hard to understand at times.

@GizmoJP - The translation itself seems fine, but there are other quality issues. Most bona-fide publishers feel they must localize the title in order to appeal to a wider audience than the hard-core otakus. Sometimes they even change the cover art (think Spice and Wolf). As a scanlator...

A bit of history: it turns out that "Zipang" is a version of the name given by Marco Polo for a legendary country 1500 miles east of China known as the "Land of Gold". Japan, of course, but distorted through the lens of legend. The legends in China, as Marco Polo himself never went so far as...

@ShinTenshiro20 - Both are on Baka-Tsuki: Golden Time, and The Deep Blue Fleet. I would hesitate to call that second one a "light novel", though. I am only working on it because it got my curiosity bump to itching.

@ShinTenshiro20 - Next project? I have eight going on right now: Boku no Chi de Yokeraba, Boku no Marie, Chokotto Hime, Kanade, Masaki no Pan, Onakura no Yuurei-san, Oni ga Deru and Yuki ni Tsubasa. And that's not counting the two light novels I have been working on for many years.

@ShinTenshiro20 - "Mogusa-san" looks cute, but at this point I would have to think twice, or three times, before taking on yet another ten-volume series. Though I may order the originals for my library while it is still possible to do so.

A break from four-koma! I much prefer working on stories rather than newspaper comic strips.

@arn26 - I told everybody about this in more than one comments section, but "chapter 0" was originally scanlated from magazine raws as chapter 7. That, in fact, is why when I started working on this series I reset the chapter numbers by doing what was #36 of the magazine version as #35.5 of the...
