Yup most recent one I can think of is when they put Wakana Uehara up against freakin' Aja Kong.

I think they meant they couldn't print Yoko being so disrespectful. She's theoretically a face after all.

I haven't found a joshi manga that is anywhere near as good as HK Ring. If I find one that grabs me I'll translate it but a lot of joshi stuff is just ecchi nonsense.

Absolutely! I'm very lucky to work with Kurkku, they knock it out of the park every time!

I'm gonna pretend you didn't call Miu stupid lol. Miu is a genuinely talented idol. Yu is just doing this out of spite.

Nice! I only have Volumes one and two so far. I think they must have found some new oldstock because I've been seeing a lot of copies in perfect condition in the market lately.

I'm so excited to finally have an ojou-sama in the mix, she's super fun to write!

Give her a break, she gets hit in the head A LOT.

I mean she said pretty clearly she would commit hara-kiri. Problem solved!

It's been at least a few months since Yu's ribs healed.

Sorry, some life stuff happened! I try to keep updates on our bluesky account when there's going to be a big gap between updates. https://bsky.app/profile/hkring.bsky.social

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!
