No, your logic seems fine - no argument there. Just I didn't add the original entry to MD, so I meant "If I had done, I like to think I'd have gone with something different". Though given I rely so heavily on MTL, for all I know I might well have slipped up and done the "What does Google say...

Totally understandable, yeah. I don't blame anyone for nope-ing out. I don't think it's outright misery-porn like some titles with the "tragedy" tag (which is one reason I wanted to try translating it), but I can totally see how some people would still find it too much.

1) Oh, there's absolutely a backstory. At the same time the mangaka doesn't really seem to be going for "...so that makes everything I did okay, right?", which was another thing I liked. 2) Yes, fair point, I don't think I'd have used that exact English title... if you MTL that synopsis it...

It is definitely a "...and then Everything Went To Hell" story, yes. Not non-stop mayhem or anything, but she certainly struggles to catch a break.

Okay! I'm already doing way too much of this stuff for one person, but I binged all the available raws of this in one go and, yeah. Not perfect by any means, some plot points probably fall apart if you think about them too much, not sure where the mangaka's going with the overall plot... but I...

Well... (mild spoiler for 7.2) ;)

FWIW, doing my uploads a bit earlier today as I'll be busy later on. Here you go. Hope you like melodrama! (And hopefully my shenanigans with the fonts don't feel too dumb/silly... to be absolutely clear, more or less none of that is in the original, the mangaka does use different fonts, but...

I did wonder about maybe holding this back - I can't keep a weekly pace going forever, I'm already doing way too much for one guy... but I did say I'd try and get something else up over Christmas after 3.2 finished on that cliffhanger, so - here you go. (Boy, those names are... probably going...

I wondered whether to hold this one back for a while for a bunch of reasons - it's Christmas, and I can't keep this weekly schedule going forever... but what the hell, here you go.

Okay, FWIW, working on 4.1 and re-checking the raws means I'm going to fix one small but significant mistake - as far as I can tell, 1) the country this is set in hasn't been named at this point 2) the "dungeon country" doesn't have any other actual name, or if it does, nobody's used it 3) the...

There we go. Sorry this took a while - it needed a bunch of minor redraws, I was trying out a new font for big SFX (since the one I was using before is terrible at higher sizes), I had other stuff to work on and Christmas things to think about IRL. Hopefully the chapter didn't suffer too much as...

FWIW, to clarify, for everything I've uploaded I use Lens (mostly) line by line and I edit it as I go, I don't run the whole thing through AI or whatever. I couldn't do anything without MTL but I can read kana, just about, I know a handful of kanji and I have a little bit of "anime Japanese"...

Good catch. That sure does make it sound like the real person is no longer around. Damn. When I added this to MD, when I said "the mangaka has stated it's fictional" or whatever, I was referencing that in September, she tweeted (MTL'd): I don't follow her account, though, so I didn't see the...

Let's see if anybody else had their eyes on this. Either way, hope it's okay - there's a couple of lines I struggled with a bit, but it seemed mostly on target. I would have liked to get it that little bit more polished, but god damn, I was getting very tired by the last few pages (some of...

I wouldn't say embellished, maybe - there isn't a "story" this is based on as such, just the fact the mangaka worked in hostess clubs and saw some pretty weird things while she was there, including the person who inspired Mii-chan. I didn't research this too deeply, so it's perfectly possible I...

Good question! I could see the mangaka going with an open ending, tbh; you could argue the "point" of the story is Yamada coping with the realisation that life treats people like shit who, whatever their flaws/mistakes, absolutely don't deserve it. (And then wondering if she could have done any...

Yes, unfortunately the chapter really does end at that point. Apologies. <_< I'll try and upload something else over the rest of Christmas so as not to leave it hanging for too long. (I'm a few pages into 4.1, I've just been working on other series as well.)

No, this particular thread doesn't end like you think... ...at least not yet. :eek:
