    Oishinbo - Vol. 3 Ch. 5

    You might prepare to disagree with Oishinbo a lot then, since this is the standard line Kariya takes through the series. I don’t always know what Kariya was going for when he wrote Tomii. Half the time he’s a martinet and the other half, he’s a troll. I’m guessing since we’re still in the early...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 3 Ch. 3

    Hey everyone, just wanted to let all of you that have been keeping up with this English TL of Oishinbo know that on Saturday March 16th, I'm going on a trip and will be gone until March 30th. I probably won't have any time to work on the TL during that period, so there will be a temporary hiatus...

    Oishinbo

    I pay a monthly fee for a service called Ichigo Reader. Really, it's cheap and speedy. I could not recommend it enough, although, sometimes things do mistranslate (and you can tell when something has done so because the font I use is different to the TLs font, but Paint doesn't have the matching...

    Oishinbo

    Honestly, the decision to do this came about because I wanted to read it after liking what I’d seen of the anime. I made a Reddit post letting people know and asking if anyone wanted copies. One user directed me here to post my progress. I honestly don’t know if I would ever do another series...

    I’m a hickory or mesquite man, myself.

    Ah, okay, I was worried there lol. Who says it's too long to be fully translated? I have all the raws, a machine to do most of the heavy lifting, and all the time in the world to do it.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 2 Ch. 6 - Chapter 6

    That's how each volume counts chapters. They do have individual names, but since the machine I use never translates them, I just name them after each chapter number. If you want to read it with the chapter names translated, you should stick with Mugiwara325's translation. His translation is...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 2 Ch. 14

    To my knowledge they're not related at all (and of course I'm aware that's not his dad, since the whole conflict of the manga is between Shiro and his father), but I didn't delete it because "dad" is a (rather archaic) term that has been used by young people talking to older people. For example...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 2 Ch. 4 - Chapter 4

    Yeah, I intend to finish it. I honestly wasn't particularly happy with how this chapter came out due to the sheer amount of French dialogue in it (including one page that just wouldn't translate anything on the machine I use at all because of the mix of Japanese and French dialogue), but it...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Tofu and Water

    Yeah, we did have this discussion over on Reddit. I was originally willing to stand aside in Mugiwara325's favor, but he helpfully pointed out that because I use a machine to help me, I'll have the chapters out quickly and he can work on them at a more deliberate pace and folks can read mine in...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 2 Ch. 2 - Chapter 2

    Generally, that's how it goes (although not always).

    Oishinbo - Vol. 1 Ch. 9

    I'm afraid it is. Chickens are kept in continual dim lighting (rather than total darkness) for all but about 4 hours per day where it's completely dark to tell the chickens to sleep.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Chapter 2

    Yeah, I know. Blame the machine I'm using. Since it is the same name, I figured I wasn't going to go through the aggravation of keeping it uniform. I know I probably missed some other things as well.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 1 Ch. 8 - Chapter 8

    Just type in “Oishinbo anime” into Google and you’ll find a site that has it. Inka-Subs has been translating the anime.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 1 Ch. 8 - Chapter 8

    Yeah. It's also covered in episode 3 or 4 in the anime if I recall right.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 1 Ch. 6

    I have the whole thing. Volume one I'm fully done with. Volume two I'm currently in the checking and editing stage, and I've begun translations on Volume three. I know there's more than 100 volumes. I'll try and do all of them. The full series deserves at least a passable English translation for...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - Chapter 3

    I’ve completed the entire first volume’s translation already, so they’ll be coming quickly.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    No problem. The a’la carte style is completely insufficient in my view, with everything being jumbled and out of order. I’m sure their translations are gonna be better than mine since I’m using a machine, but at least my goal is the entire series being readable (if not perfectly translated) in...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    Thanks. I decided to do it after getting access to all the raw comics. Originally, I was just going to do it so I could read it, but I wanted to share with others if I could. A reddit user actually told me about this site... I used the Japanese. Since I don't read Japanese very well at all, I...
