Which one? I can go back and correct it.

So despite scanlating this chapter, I'll be honest - I didn't really like this very much. I feel like the melodrama around the self-harming and the backstory gave me whiplash after all the fairly standard tone of the rest of it; I realise this chapter was originally a one-shot that's been...

Just some crappy typesetting from me I'm afraid!

Well, I regret my demonic speech font choice at this point...

Incidentally, a note on the main character's name. カンカン in katakana is technically just "Kankan". However, it's also an adjective in hiragana, meaning something like "raging", "blazing with anger", that kind of thing. Given that the other names in the story don't have the same levels of double...

AMAZING! Thank you, I'll add these in moving forward.

I can see a title for the most recent chapter but not on the older ones - am I being blind? Love that the damn title is Romanised differently on their web viewer than on the published version... (and despite the surprising amount of available supplementary material for the series there's no...

Chapter 1 tells us that the Boss buys holy water online - after initially buying two bottles in a "buy one get one free" sale, it's revealed he's bought more in Chapter 2. They get the purification salt from the Exorcism Society, but not the water (although the Exorcism Society extols the...

Tonight's translation notes: ugh, a whole load of stuff about Kemonotsukai being like his name because his name has the word "beast" in it, explaining his poor behaviour. If only I'd localised his name, I could have used "Beast by name, beast by nature" when Samson is trying to smooth over...

Aaaah, sorry! Can't believe I missed that one (and the spelling mistake). I'll fix it now, thank you.

In which Nao Iwamoto is a bit weird about her characterisation of gay men, much less weird about intersexuality, makes some dick jokes, and gives me yet another naming issue to work my way around (not to mention calling a giant cenote "Green Hole", which is a terrible name, although apparently...

That'll be my fault if I've not been consistent a) with the scanlation of the first chapter b) with myself. Let me know where I've done this from chapter 2 onwards and I'll get around to fixing it.

The history is genuinely interesting, but the downside of not doing a Japanese degree is that I don't have a grounding in this stuff, and lots of it is buried in Japanese-only websites (not even Wikipedia has everything). While I have a bunch of Japanese history books on the shelf, most of them...

Oh thank you! It took so bloody long to do this that I got sloppy double-checking. It's not just the Classical Japanese, there's something about the way Saitou's dialogue flows across speech bubbles that makes it funny to type set. I'll go back in and correct those pages ASAP - thanks again...

Really glad you're enjoying Marronnier - it's great! Thanks for the suggestion - I've heard of it before. I'll take a look at what's been translated so far to see if it's up my street. Is it fantastical, or just set in a made-up world?

It's a pleasure. This is not a "historical comedy", as its tags suggest here on Mangadex; it's funny at times, yes, but it's really a stonking fantasy story with plenty of intrigue and mystery, fun characters, sweet romance, and Iwamoto's typically excellent artwork. It's hugely fun to read.
