    Aliens - Vol. 2 Ch. 14.6 - Side Story 1

    Hmm, interesting. I googled it and I couldn't find any references to just "halluci". Besides the AI summary (lol) all my results used the full "ハルシネーション". Of course I knew what "halluci" was referring to anyway, but I figured it was shortened by the author and not in active use. Good to know!

    Aliens - Vol. 2 Ch. 14.5 - Digression 5

    I just realized this chapter is titled "Digresson 4" despite being the fifth digression, probably because one of the digressions was exclusive to the volume release of the manga. I've updated the title to "Digression 5" to fix the duplicate and in anticipation of it being called that in the...

    Aliens - Vol. 1 Ch. 11 - Alien Sex Friend

    By sex scenes I mean what's already appeared, them bathing together in a very sexually suggestive way. But yeah the label appears to have been attached by the publisher without any input from the author. So either they judged the author's plans for the story to be yuri-aligned (this is very...

    Aliens - Vol. 1 Ch. 11 - Alien Sex Friend

    As I've mentioned earlier, it is advertised as yuri in Japan, so it is "officially" a yuri. With that said, I think I'm about one more comment like this away from removing the GL tag from Mangadex. I would like to maintain parity with how the manga is officially advertised, but you (and others)...

    Aliens - Vol. 2 Ch. 14 - Address

    I'm not really into sports manga, so that one's probably not in the cards from me, unfortunately. I have considered TLing the mangaka's other other work, Sunny Sixteen (about a girl who gets into photography in high school), but even that is unlikely in the near future. I'm looking forward to...

    Oopsie, yeah that's a typo. I'll reupload with that fixed.

    Aliens - Vol. 2 Ch. 13 - The Masses

    As an aside that I forgot to put in the TL notes, I find it very funny that in the future cameras have continued to spread across our phones like a bad rash.

    Aliens - Vol. 2 Ch. 12 - Remind Me

    Thanks for the kind words! Don't worry, I'm all better now - if I wasn't the chapter wouldn't be out! I only work on this when I'm having fun doing so. It's an unpaid hobby, after all. I like to imagine that Aoi chugs lube every once in a while to refill her tanks.

    Aliens - Vol. 1 Ch. 11 - Alien Sex Friend

    As the author mentioned, the manga is officially marketed as yuri, and the word is used in most of the blurbs/synopses I've seen - I would assume whoever originally added the title to mangadex simply went off those.

    Aliens - Vol. 1 Ch. 7 - Fly Away

    You're very right. I think when I initially glanced at the sign I misread the kanji and was like, oh, that's the south entrance (and then when I went to Google Maps to check, it was indeed), makes sense, and then never bothered to make sure I was right. Confirmation bias is a bitch. I've gone...

    Aliens - Vol. 1 Ch. 11 - Alien Sex Friend

    As far as I'm aware (maybe I'm wrong, correct me if I am) the term "girl's love" is used pretty much interchangeably with "yuri" in Japan, without any additional romantic connotation. Really, the same is true here in the west - there's a reason MD doesn't have a separate yuri tag. (The issue...

    Aliens - Vol. 1 Ch. 11 - Alien Sex Friend

    I'm not sure what's up with the chapter titles for this series, TBH. Maybe they're references I'm not getting? They usually seem to bear little to no relation to what actually happens in the chapter. Yeah, you can tell the mangaka adores sci-fi.

    Aliens - Vol. 1 Ch. 6 - Fight!

    The word she used was "冷凍保存" (lit: frozen/cold preservation). This can mean anything from normal freezing/cold storage to cryopreservation (seemingly anyway, I'm not an expert), although it's definitely not freeze-dried. Deep-freezing is a real food preservation method which involves quickly...

    Aliens - Vol. 1 Ch. 10 - Endless

    Interesting, I never looked at her previous works. I might read through that, although knowing ahead of time it hasn't been finished properly kinda sucks. Hopefully it gets a real ending!

    Aliens - Vol. 1 Ch. 10 - Endless

    Just took a look at it (was reading that series for a while but fell off of it after the... really bad pocky game > sports festival arc, but it looks like things got back on track) and yeah I can't say I blame them considering how much redrawing that letter would entail. That's a rock and a hard...

    Aliens - Vol. 1 Ch. 10 - Endless

    TBH, after thinking on it more I'm kinda with you? I think it's a vibes-based thing and it's impossible to strictly define where it's appropriate and where it isn't. The shopping street sign from a few chapters ago? Obviously should be left in Japanese. Text messages on a phone? Obviously should...

    Aliens - Vol. 1 Ch. 8 - Fly With Me

    I'm a little confused as to why you say that, because there are several threads that it seems like the author has set up to tug on later: As far as I can tell, we're very much still in the setup phase of whatever the story is going to focus on, but it definitely seems like it's going to...

    Aliens - Vol. 1 Ch. 7 - Fly Away

    Yeah, despite what I wrote in the credits page I figured it was gonna have cheesy connotations in JP too. It screams the sort of thing you would read in a shonen manga. I think it doesn't really work as a joke in my TL because I had a hard time highlighting how absurd of a thing to say it is...
