A better, readable version of page (Take Me On) & Take Me on. (sorry, i used song lyrics at the wrong time. as always 🤦 my timings are all terrible.)
Extra Part: I’ve been receiving feedback, that the english translation got worse over time. while I believe it got better; mainly because i’m not native english. To keep this section short and clean, I’ve put the whole thing behind spoilers.
You can give feedback and ask questions under any chapter; not only under this. I write this out, in case you didn’t know. I can never be too sure.

Now, please tell me, when the translation got worse and when it was done well (like structure, the way they talked, etc.). If it’s fixable, I’ll try to change. If it’s not fixable, I can’t change anything. If it’s about the visuals & softwares, please check out the forum conversation from chapter 48. This chunkers is for the language part only.
I was given the translation guidance on mangadex by a reader already. In order to not butt heads with japanese copyright law (bc idiots have made my translations aware on their social medias; some said where they read it), I prefer to make my translations amateur-like (going against what the guide said) and different (like slapping text on the actual letter). it has a nice flair for me personally as well.
I’ve tried to write the information as neutral as possible. But pathy can occur, so please be aware. I don’t notice it, when I lead a conversation to a specific direction myself. P.S. i lost the souce and structure here. i apologize for the bizarre structure and repeated lines.
Plot 1) Was my english maybe not that bad after all?
From chapter 10 - 29ish. I translated the chapters into english. I used google translator, japanese -> german. at roughly chapter 28+ (conversation got lost), I was informed, that google converts everything into english. meaning my strategy to understand what’s going on in the first place, and then translating the meaning; got doubled english (eng -> eng). My first proofreader informed me, that my english had better structure, thanks to the change (jap -> eng). [Subjective opinion: i thank everyone again, who made me aware of it 🫰.]
Plot 2)
I kept the translations of chapters 34, 36, 37, 38, 44, 45, 46 and 47 very close to their original; as they felt like farewell gifts of my said proofreader. Contrary to previously. I wasn’t “adjusting” (even although I have no idea, if it was more right) their english to what I believed was better.
I have no idea what native language my previous proofreader spoke. I have no contact to them, nor can they return to work on the chapters with me either. Work consumed their time; compared to their university studies (i thought both are straining on similar bases, ngl).
Plot 3) Is it due to a proofreader/translator difference?
Due to my first, previous proofreader’s real life, I had to change proofreaders. My current translator started out as my new proofreader. Since chapter 20 I felt a burn out from translating. It got worse and worse. The only part I was and still interested in, is the art of redrawing (and typesetting). One day I got sick physically, and I asked my new proofreader to just translate for me. They agreed and I had less of a burden. [shameless plug in: I’m not searching for a new translator nor typesetter/redrawer due to that. I want myterrible work done by myself.]
My new proofreader is also the current, full, english translator. They have been translating since the 31st chapter constantly. [subjective opinion: Which I really appreciate their work.]
Since they’re native(, american) english, I didn’t felt the need to “adjust” (I only sandpaper rough ends and tongue twisters. but don’t fully translate them.) the english (bc i’m lazy). There are times where I still do it, but it’s usually just sfx. As my brain is pre-programmed to have bad grammar and is bound for misspelling. I haven’t been “adjusting” their english, since a long time. So I’ll try it out again.
Plottwist - Chapter 54 was uploaded on April 1, as an April Fools Joke with Rick Astley.
At the end, it heavily depends, what I’ve done well and what I didn’t do well. Maybe what I think is good, is actually bad and vice versa. So please, write out what you think. It doesn’t need to be criticism/feedback - but if you want me to change for the better, then it needs to be feedback (maybe with solutions, since I don’t know why it got worse). You can ask questions as well, but I can’t promise the answer you seek. I can only answer with what I understand and know.
Thank you for reading through my mess.

Ooooh his letters are going to make them turn into jelly when they read them!! Awww!!
Thanks for the tl!
I believe it becomes a bl once he's grown up. I remember someone mentioning this during the earlier chapters.

yes, the romance is suppose to happen once he grows up.
