Given how poorly the mystery component of the series was handled, I shouldn't be surprised at the rushed and unsatisfying way it ends; there's been no time for investigating it at all, and for the story to slightly trivially toss off child abuse like this is quite jarring. I did tear up a...

So going forward I should refer to "The King of Zhuan" rather than the Emperor? Okay, will do. Thank you!

Apologies for any errors in Chinese naming or transcriptions; absolutely not my area of expertise at all (this is hard work better left to professionals I fear, and why it's taken me a long time to get around to chapter 3!). I think I've tied myself in knots over whether the character I am...

Just to lessen disappointment, please note that chapter 11 is the final chapter. It's a bumper one at 60 pages, but still.

I'm well aware. I'm also well aware of the current push by many manga editors/publishers to encourage women to publish in shounen/seinen magazines for a broader audience, particularly since men won't read shoujo/josei magazines. Gessan does have a wider range of styles and titles than many...

Chapters are published every other month in Harta. However, I don't read manga in magazines, I only buy the collected volumes, so I'm afraid you'll be waiting the best part of a year before I do any more - if someone else decides to do chapters as they come out they're more than welcome to take...

The series is only due to be two volumes long; I don't know what the original plan was, but the mangaka has marketed the second volume as being due to the success of the first chapters (which is almost impossible to measure given that it's a web manga). Perhaps we would never have had a present...

Spoilers:

Totally shounen. Runs in Gessan (Monthly Shounen Sunday). Gay content is obviously something that should be able to run successfully in shounen/seinen magazines, since they're primarily targeted at male audiences - indeed, another series I'm working on at the moment, the excellent Katasumi no...

I don't know if I'll work on more of this series. The Kansai-ben is one thing; the irritating number of SFX (my least favourite thing to deal with) is another. It's a weird little manga, though. It's a cooking manga where the cooking is "what can I put in the microwave or get on discount"...

Sorry it took a while for this chapter to come out, but to be honest I was quite disappointed in it so didn't want to work on it much (lovely art, as ever, aside). Nothing about the cold case investigation makes sense in terms of the amount of evidence that has been previously missed - three...

So my understanding: - an alien ship malfunctions, and its crew escape in escape pods (which later become known as amafune, celebrated in the festival at Kusudo in chapter 2). - when the crew awaken and emerge into Earth's atmosphere - something which happens on a staggered schedule, hence the...

I'd agree with both your labels of "anthropological sci-fi" and "speculative fiction". "What if festivals were created by aliens" is a fun premise, with its melding of past and future, but at the same time you could almost strip all the sci-fi away from it and each chapter would work...

Japanese libraries, like most around the world, have fairly long lists of rules about what they'll accept as donations - which doesn't include books they already own, books in dodgy condition etc. It's unlikely much of the kind of inventory that is being disposed of would be acceptable...

In case people haven't seen the news (and read this comment), Egnaro's cancellation was announced a couple of days ago (late August). Hopefully the final remaining chapters will be collected in tankoubon form - there's three more chapters, albeit still all from the flashback arc. If not, I'll...

Thanks - fixed.

Thanks - fixed, apologies.

Another one fixed - somehow failed to export the PNG of page 109 when I translated it originally (thank you for using the original page numbers, which makes it much faster for me to find mistakes). Thanks!

Just a quick note to say thank you very much for translating Silver Wheat Field! I bought the whole series based on the covers but didn't end up liking the first chapter very much (irritating female lead...) so didn't push on - but it's much more accessible when I don't need to look words up...

Whoops! Added back in. Thanks!
