I've actually got no clue. It was literally 'Ma'(ま) in the raws, so I assumed he was stuttering to say something (in which case I could translate to the English equivalent), but there wasn't any follow-up lines where he said anything that began with ま. Maybe it's just a quirk he has? I don't know.
Was the "Ma" thing the equivalent of something like "Um/Uh," where you're starting to speak but don't have it all clear in your mind yet? I know I've heard it used that way in some Japanese interviews
Thank you @_anq for the update. I read the raw but was not too confident for my japanese though glad i was right in some point.? so tachibana is really shino’s brother’s friend, i wonder what will be his role in future chapters. 2 more raws before we catch up and wait longer for the latest. Thank you thank you.
