My initial assumption had been that there was a magic crystal in the fox that could be used for enchantments not related to powers of it's originating monster. But now I do think it's purely about the money he can get from such an in-demand material. Unfortunately, I'm too poor of a translator...

In this episode, Yajin learns the doggy-paddle! Note: on page 4, the original text is "それなら 付与魔法を 付けられたそうだ", which I have translated to "In that case, it could be enough to imbue an enchantment". I am not 100% sure this conveys the correct meaning, so don't read too much into whether Yajin will...

The next chapter should drop in a couple of days, and in it the manga story started to move back towards where the LN is, so maybe we will still see Yajin doing despicable stuff.

Everything you said is pretty much what my assumptions are while translating (there's always a chance it's wrong, without knowing the story ahead). WRT fleeing town, one thing the LN mentions is that Emden (the jaw ripping guy) likely has the resources and motivation to send assassins after...

The Japanese is equally ambiguous to me, I didn't try to put any spin on the conversations. My assumption had been that the 'component' used for enchanting Yajin's equipment can be removed without damaging the pelt. But it does seem logical for it to be sold for the money, or to curry favour...

Hey, he's not just any noble, he's the Baron of Booze, Lord Sky-High Captain Rudi Schmitdfaced!

In this episode: Trade Negotiations! Happy Paganmas to everyone, I hope you all remembered to hang the skulls of your enemies on a post outside on the 21st, to honour Wotan and Herne.

Another episode today! This time, Yajin brutally ends the dream of a young fox family, only one mortgage down payment away from owning their first tunnel.

In this episode, Fox-Fu vs Karate! Next chapter will drop quite soon, the Brazilians already overtook me.

It even uses the very tip of its tail like a blade. If you look at the tail just after Yajin gets cut below his eye, you can see Yajin's blood dripping from the tip.

Thanks for your input. I did debate over how to translate the two mentions of this term (they are the same in the Japanese), and ended up deciding to vary them because in English repetition can become annoying in a way it sometimes isn't in other languages. I admit it's initially confusing, but...

For what is available via the raw suppliers, we're up to date. The full translation of that part says that the "November issue" is on sale from the 27th September. I'm expecting the raws for chapter 64 to go online early in November.

In this episode, Yajin get's outfoxed!

Thanks for your input, it was good advice. It's actually almost depressing how good AI is at image editing now, it feels like any effort from a human artist is a little bit wasted! I guess since AI can do it if people really want it, they can on their own, and so I'll just post the original to...

I did some testing with the next chapter. Original is top, hand painted shadows are on the bottom. What do you think? I'm not so sure about defacing the work of the original artist, but I did enjoy working on it. I currently have the full chapter translated and finished, and with the extra...

There was a long delay for this release while I travelled to Japan to understand the struggles of a mangaka with no aircon in a heatwave. In this episode, Yajin wastes all the tension he built up in the last episode, and he joins the Mormons.

Looks like tealsneal picked it up, and his translation is good, so I'm happy to pass on the baton!

I've been doing the translations since ch24, but I've not had any time since March to work on low priority stuff, so don't hold your breath waiting for the next chapter.

I have no idea if this aspect will make into the manga, but it's the primary focus of the novel, so it's hard to see how they avoid it completely. Pseudo spoiler:

I've been reading the web novel to help with accurately translating the manga, and given what happens in the novel immediately after Yajin speaks with Emden, I wonder if the manga is deliberately avoiding following that plot because it's some real dark shit that doesn't make Yajin look good at all.
