Pretty sure that's just the shading on his hand, just looks murky because of the awful image quality since Akita Shoten decided to downgrade their magazine digitals.

I doubt this is even a fight that's going to be shown. The whole point of the second half of the chapter is it's just "business as usual" for Baki and something he's so accustomed to he doesn't even give it enough thought to know the guy's name. Seems like this really is just what's on the tin...

Nope, that's the word for it. Original text just says hāfu though.

Honestly, the comments I put at the end of the chapters are just whatever throwaway thought I have close to the time of working on or finishing chapters, but I really appreciate them being read and responded to. It's just something I continued doing in place of our last translator on Baki...

A lot of what people are doing isn't criticism, it's just bland statements of their dislike. My other suggestion rather than dropping it is to put it on hold and let chapters pile up either until you feel like revisiting or hear about a development that interests you. It's not so much that I...

Gee, thanks, really glad to hear that's the kind of reading the work we put in is getting. I don't think it's about right or wrong. Plenty of people like Rahen, plenty don't. If someone doesn't like it, my only question is why keep reading so actively? I hardly see anyone letting chapters pile...

Feel free to stop reading at any time.

Same here, but I think at this point it's just canon to the world of Baki's anatomy. It is a very strange thing, since Itagaki is usually insanely on-point with anatomy (especially muscle groups), so maybe it's always been intentionally wrong just to make it more interesting of an attack visually.

I've heard before it's plenty painful getting kicked in the err, vulva, I'll say to sound more scientific than crass. But the way it was described to me it sounded like getting hit in an already bruised area just because it's a little more sensitive than the rest of the body. With getting hit in...

No, no! Powerscalers would just write the kind of guys they're talking about off as jobbers or inconsequential. Powerscalers have no imagination outside of their made-up logic.

As you can see from Morgan's comment, turns out I remembered wrong/misunderstood. It was actually a Gemini watermark. Not sure if that's better or worse.

Oh wait, it was Gemini? Goes to show what little I know about all this stuff besides that Daromeon's engine of choice is Nanobanana, lol.

Small piece of trivia that I'll just leave here as I forgot to include it in the credits; Morgan, the translator, noticed that the title spread still had a Grok Gemini (whoops) watermark visible in the corner. He's cleaned it off so we could help Oku save face, though I think most discerning...

Height in manga has always been more about impressionism than realism. I'm especially numb to paying it mind after how Itagaki was drawing Kozue in the second Baki series.

Really scratching my head with this one trying to figure out what the link between AAA game ugly women and moeblob Baki analysis is.

He's credited, but those kinds of credits on spinoffs really just mean the author said "sure, why not?"

Ahh, I get what you mean then. I try to keep out most slang unless it's dialectic or an exact fit (like here) for this exact reason, but I suppose "jobber" to martial arts manga fans is always going to be the king of annoying slang, especially when it's so frequently misused, too. I definitely...

This is a completely appropriate use of the term. They are talking about the martial arts manga trope where a character immediately loses to the MC in chapter 1 and how it's weird that Suedo isn't actually a jobber.

How about a second dose? https://mangadex.org/chapter/59f9ce54-2d0a-4d2d-a1fc-2a8e3d15ed6c

I thought about this again and realised that's actually some insanely violent terrorism even more evil than part 1 Yuujirou would showcase; he'd more likely get Straydum to have an airforce pilot take him into the air, then have that pilot parachute out safely as he barrels toward the ground in...
