Lol well it's pro-wrestling. Senseless violence is kind of the main appeal. They express themselves through hitting the same way people in musicals sing when their emotions are the strongest. But yeah, everything about Yu's training is toxic and abusive. It comes with the territory with older...

My headcanon is Yu is just too stupid to realize that everyone else is in on it.

Yeah every chapter I think "Man this is not how you should treat head/neck trauma."

oh totally Nakamura-sensei is incredible. I did the exact same thing before I translated it, I'm not good enough to just read something without a lot of reference and time. I also gotta say that Toki and Katsuda are apparently freakin' surgeons with liquid eyeliner!

Holy shit dude you are FAST! Thanks for reading!

I will say that the fact that Nakamura-sensei is SO good at drawing makes research more difficult, because he can draw someone with bad form which is very hard to do intentionally.

lol well I haven't watched much wrestling since the 90s, my age just lined up with this exact era of wrestling so I'm familiar with the vibes of the era. I'm afraid I am just Old. The rest is research and asking a lot of puroresu forums and discords because people LOVE to info dump about that...

yeah wrestling is a interesting translation challenge because it shares a lot of common jargon for the most part but some specific moves have very different names. Like in this chapter Yu does a (sloppy) fisherman's suplex on Yoko. But in the japanese it's called a "waterwheel drop" which in...

We have a glossary in the works once the volume is finished. Thanks again for reading!

The original japanese scans are up on archive.org I had to mute most of you horny fuckers because my feed was nothing but hentai lol.

My two cents on this is it's just not as interesting having predetermined outcomes to the matches. That's the entire reason why kayfabe exists in the first place, right? You could do a manga about the backstage politics and drama of kayfabe, but that would be a different genre. Harukanaru Ring...

Trick here, in this chapter we meet Bruiser Maki, who is based off the real wrestler Kaoru Ito. Look her up!

I have no idea what your expectations are but thanks for reading!

I know, where is Nazz gonna find another pair of sunglasses?

Hi Trick here. The manga is what I call "ight kayfabe". It's more or less a realistic depiction of how the industry works, except they pretend every match is a shoot. It's pretty common in puroresu media.

Hey I'm glad other people are working on Harukanaru Ring! I'm finishing up my translation of the first volume. I'm impressed by the hand-lettering, that's great stuff!
