    Legend of the Galactic Heroes (FUJISAKI Ryu) - Vol. 7 Ch. 65 - Rear Admiral Yang Wen-li: Iserlohn Corridor - The Capture of Iserlohn Fortress (Part I)

    Thanks for continuing with this adaption! Some noticeable changes in approach and details here vs the old one and I'm interested to see how it plays out. But seeing the lead admirals here vs the old makes me think again the author is making a mistake with some of the character visual changes vs...

    Genkai OL-san wa Akuyaku Reijou-sama ni Tsukaetai - Vol. 3 Ch. 17.5

    This isn't to razz on you specifically or anything, but this still strikes at me in a way I didn't expect from this series. In my 20s, I was someone who "lived for work" and let that fill my whole life. I regularly did 80 hours a week, a few times even 100. Some of it was interesting serious...

    The Bugle Call: Song of War - Vol. 8 Ch. 25 - Rite of Passage

    Thank you so much for continuing with your high effort translations for this godly series, and the explanation of how the author used the original language in specific artistic ways (and how you interpreted that). The attention to detail by the author is a core part of what makes this so good...

    【Oshi no Ko】 - Vol. 16 Ch. 166 - STAR

    Eh, she can probably transition into being a serious actress. And a decade or more is honestly a pretty long time, particularly when you're that young. My perspective was radically different in my teens vs my 20s let alone 30s. People can be fragile, but overall I think people are tougher then...

    【Oshi no Ko】 - Vol. 16 Ch. 166 - STAR

    Hahaha, a fusion of "what" and "welp" and "human" for an ending. It felt like things were developing pretty organically and with solid direction until maybe 40ish chapters ago, then suddenly kinda just started dropping plot lines, characters and carefully constructed build-up completely...

    Shoukoku no Altair Gaiden - Toukoku no Subaru - Vol. 6 Ch. 31

    I definitely don't think it's remotely as good as the original. That said, I think you're being somewhat unfair to it as well. The impression I got is this is like an Iraq 2011 or Afghanistan 2020 sort of situation (less of a gap in fact). There's zero doubt that the great power could crush them...

    Shoukoku no Altair Gaiden - Toukoku no Subaru - Vol. 6 Ch. 31

    Compared to the original, I'm still not sure how I feel about this spinoff featuring magic instead of sticking to pretty hard alt history. Nevertheless the basic military back and forth on all the different levels of tactics, strategy, politics, and individuals remains solid and enjoyable...

    Ragna Crimson - Ch. 78 - Big Wave (Part 1)

    One detail I just noticed: it seems very unlikely to be coincidence that author chose nearly the exact same perspective of Earth for the world magic here as we saw a brief glimpse of in Crimson's globe's void all the way back in chapter 47. Except there (presumably reflecting the current state...

    Ragna Crimson - Ch. 78 - Big Wave (Part 1)

    Author really building up to the big battle once again! Part of what has made the fights work so well in this series has been how the various participants really get shown in a multifaceted way, and even the evil side is still pretty cool and have their own motivations. Now we get to see the...

    Rosen Garten Saga - Vol. 12 Ch. 73 - Dance Performance ~Live-Aufführung~

    Very fitting that a "Dance Performance" chapter has superb choreography! Author always lands the shots. Once again power upgrades aren't just thoughtless "more", it's pretty cool that Excalibur's "use of other possibilities" would get extended not merely to power Arthur up but to find help from...

    The Bugle Call: Song of War - Vol. 7 Ch. 20 - The Ramus who Falls from the Sky

    Another really epic fight, continuing the author's masterful art of having single specific powers used in incredibly creative and deep ways, particularly in combination with others. As with mirror, spatial manipulation from an old experienced ramus is really something, but time powers could be...

    Inherit the Stars - Vol. 3 Ch. 23 - Homeland's Soil

    Certainly not! But also no problem at all, like others I'm just very excited this fascinating and different series has translations happening again at all after so many, many years. Like traveling the stars, patience is necessary ;).

    Hosomura-san and the Cat's Snack - Vol. 2 Ch. 14 - Hosomura Family's Mixed Chicken Rice

    A wonderfully real story, "slice of life" with a true adult emphasis on life, with its ups and downs and the passing of relationships into memories even as new ones are formed. Repeated over and over for us all. Thanks to the TLs for sure. Yes, they trot at a different pace then we do, until...

    Touge Oni - Vol. 7 Ch. 30 - Three-Love: Four-Heart Lives Eternal

    Neither you, nor I, nor anyone else here has any way to prove we aren't "simulated", nor that said simulation isn't itself running in a simulation another level up and so on. And indeed that's actually one of the more relatively pleasant possible futures for humanity in an exponential tech...

    Alcohol and Ogre-girls - Ch. 45

    I'm glad the author found a way to twist the somewhat stereotypical "friendly date SO gets jealous about" here and rather then dwell on shallow lack of trust and romantic aspects, show that the real uncomfortable thing is that the whole situation really hasn't been a normal one for a regular...

    Legend of the Galactic Heroes (MICHIHARA Katsumi) - Vol. 4 Ch. 40

    And so ends what is arguably "the first act", with each man rising in their respective structure of power, and now the multi-century status quo getting disrupted on each side as well. A devastating (and as we know with cynical political maneuvering going on in the background) defeat for the...

    Touge Oni - Vol. 7 Ch. 29 - Metamorphosis

    Thanks for the release! Awesome chapter, and as always seamlessly mixing in world building with fresh new circumstances and environments. Interesting with the treasure note in the back how it said that at one point the Gods could actually do it via actually creating a synthetic reality bubble...

    Shoukoku no Altair Gaiden - Toukoku no Subaru - Vol. 5 Ch. 22

    Ah yes, the human factor. Can't just treat people as chess pieces. Granted, given what he did to the Islanders before getting beaten and how the Qin act, pretty hypocritical to then whine about getting outdone, he was the one who cheerfully used tons of his own men as total fodder and the...

    Shoukoku no Altair Gaiden - Toukoku no Subaru - Vol. 5 Ch. 21

    Glad it at least indirectly addressed the elephant in the room which is that it's a temporary tech advantage. Primitive firearms and cannons are a revolution vs those with nothing, enough to buy them a decent number of years for sure and make all the difference in this war, but there isn't...

    Legend of the Galactic Heroes (MICHIHARA Katsumi) - Vol. 4 Ch. 35

    One of the more famous quotes in military history in terms of making it into the popular consciousness, but for good reason and it really shows here. It is indeed a clever (as well as ruthless) plan on multiple levels. It's certainly aimed at inverting the Free Planet's raison d'etre and...
