No, it's a manga original.

So I obviously like this series enough to translate it, but I felt this chapter leaves out all the important stuff - how the hell does Hajiro manage to resuscitate someone who's gone into cardiac arrest AND presumably safely deliver the baby at roughly the same time with little access to medical...

I do indeed. The lines I find incomprehensible are these: 天詹地梁の極樞たる北辰石に北落師門の水生石が御挨拶申し上げます and 『玉衡』の落星帰山だな To put them into context, chapter 4 begins with a flashback to Xin's childhood. Xin was an academic prodigy, and in this scene is being introduced to the King as a young boy. Xin...

My take is that Cesca hasn't actually abandoned her ambitions at all. Everything she says here is calculated to manipulate Shiki into doing what she wants while appearing to "not be a threat" (saying that she's abandoned pursuit of political power in Nankan places her "apart" from the rest of...

I think Shiki was well aware how badly things could end for the Yaguu (he says as much in chapter 2). I think Cesca is manipulating him into making an effort to change things rather than simply "accept their lot in life" - or even be complacent about his own. She's basically telling him "if...

Interesting. It's only the chapter title page, but I'll have a look later at whether it needs reuploading.

There's a reason this series is tagged "mystery". You're not supposed to understand who - or more accurately what - Selma is yet. She came to town, someone's husband died, and then she left. Note what she says to Ida - someone asked her to come to town to love Jack. What does that mean...

I cannot begin to tell you how much of a relief it is to have got the typesetting/fonts vaguely right in chapter 1 - I did a bit of a double-take when Ratoseh's dialogue font unexpectedly, and I was very relieved to note that I hadn't completely screwed up so early in the series... (I'm still...

Just a brief update - I have hit a brick wall in chapter 4 on two incomprehensible panels of dialogue that reference feng shui crystals, Chinese constellations, and possibly era names from the Han dynasty. Despite crowd-sourcing help from Reddit I am no clearer as to what is actually being...

Ugh. Fixed. I swear I'd double-checked this time.

Thank you - fixed.

Whoops, no, got distracted checking the "TV" font I used in chapter 1 and then forgot to go back and apply it to the "Home run!" dialogue box or to clean up that one. Done now and updated - thank you!

I think the series does a good job of making Yohira have as much agency as possible given where the story puts her, despite the fact that this is a romantasy and it is required for Jiu to save her and make dashing declarations about how she should never do anything for herself because He Will...

Oops - thank you, now uploaded.

There is one line of dialogue that suggests Otto made up an allegation that Emma had been mistreating Linoa, but the idea that she both lost custody and visitation rights never made any sense - particularly in Europe in the early 1990s, when generally speaking it was far more difficult for men...

Did you like Girls' Last Tour? Did you like The Color of the End? Did you like Touring After The Apocalypse? Mash 'em all together, and you get... This has a different tone, though, than those series; it's a softer kind of sci-fi and perhaps less traditionally "otaku"-ey in its style.

It runs in Morning 2. Its own publisher classifies it as seinen. That doesn't mean it can't have cross-over appeal - and I'd say that the "Morning" imprint from Kodansha in particular isn't quite so obviously mono-gendered in its content - but seinen is a marketing term, not one solely about...

I originally bought Madobe no Linoa because it looked and sounded like an Urasawa series. Loved all of those!

What for? The only thing Turk should be in trouble for is for deliberately sabotaging the original investigation when he suspected Linoa killed Otto (something that, like most things to do with the mystery here, gets almost instantly glossed over). Theo's novel is a work of fiction; no-one is...

I've looked at this in Harta before. I've got Oddspin on the go as a "con artist" story for the moment, but I'll definitely bear this one in mind. Thank you!
