Hello everyone, it's a me. Yeah, this one is later than usual. I apologize for that. Next one might be even later but I will do my best not to make it late. I am hoping to have it out by Wednesday THE LATEST. So please forgive me if that does happen. I am no longer a chapter ahead and I start translating the moment I get it. Sometimes social life get's in the way so I am having to attend to that. Hope you enjoy the manga and please let me know if there are ANY problems. I will correct them right away as needed.

Yeah mate, just relax, take it easy. Your update speed is very high anyway, nobody will complain if you slow down a bit every once in a while. So cheers, thanks for another chapter.
Now I wanna know exactly which stuff he gets how much royalties from... that amount is certainly nothing to sneeze at.

your pace is definitely fine, though we can only wait I guess. Still I wanna see how the bubble economy burst will affect things.

@Thank , @Narf , @Deoxyribo9 , @Kaios , Thank you for the vote of confidence. I appreciate hearing from everyone and their feedback. So thank you for posting your thanks. They help keep me motivated and makes sure this project doesn't die. Only 444 chapters to go. *Whimper* Yay... Lol 
@Narf Considering that often times people earn millions on royalties from about 5-10 inventions, it definitely nothing to sneeze at. And thinking that he hasn't slowed down from inventing about 4 lingerie with markets that are thirsty for lingerie. I think it's 4, maybe less.
@Deoxyribo9 My guess is that the second season would be covering that aspect if memory serves. Didn't the burst occur in the 2000's?

You do good work, and no worries about being late one day or the other. Like you say, this is a marathon.
As for inventions, it would seem he's getting licensing fees or something similar when they produce his designs, so his cash flow is likely to be heavily front loaded (once they have enough stock of his products they'll only produce enough to cover sales, plus things will move out of fashion, so he gets a big amount of money when a design goes into main production and then it drops off quickly)

@Deoxyribo9 I'm now curious as to if mangaka will be including the bubble collapse. I hope it he does but I don't foresee that happening soon. I think I saw something about a lesbian woman becoming an obstacle for the MC but I could be wrong. I can't read the language but get the idea from the pictures.
@Krynh Thank you. I usually like to release in the morning so people can get the manga later on. I might be late like Wednesday late.
@Simpleton Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. I think the company is fronting a lot of the money for fees, production, and the like. Which is why he might be getting like 15% and that's being generous. Women's underwear can fall in and out of fashion but most women will latch onto cute and comfortable clothing. From what I gather, the clothing he makes is both cute, comfortable, and orgasmic. Word of mouth would be the biggest way for lingerie to spread. Well, that's my manga theory so far.

To the person who caught the translation error, THANK YOU! It's the second to last page on the top right. Here is an excerpt from the translator's email.
On page 191 (page 23 in mangadex), panel 1, I misread the character 3高 as "third year of high school",
when it was actually a connotation for "three highs", as in man who is highly educated, has a high salary and is tall; hence, three highs.
My previous translation: He may not have graduated from high school, but if even one part of him far surpasses his shortcomings...
What it should be: He may not have all three highs, but if even one of the three far surpasses the other shortcomings...
Having someone give us corrections like this really brings me joy in knowing we have fans watching out for us. Thank you!

I was curious about what 10 million yen in 1992 would be about equivalent to these days, and based on the ~15% inflation rate between then and now, at least 150 million yen. Back then the yen was worth around 100 to the US$, so his salary would have been around US$100k/year. Were we to adjust everything to current US$ equivalents, he’d be earning a million a year, and had received a 100k signing bonus.
