[Falsien]

Cant get it up with Chako
Instantly gets inside Sensei.

Going from suicidal to homicidal really fixed Reiji eh?

 

[monchi]

i'm really okay with this development. mao deserves the worst

 

[sunafururu]

I'm kinda curious what the original Japanese said on page 2, because both scanlations have super different translations for Nagi's line in the bottom of the page.

 

[Camillionaire]

Thanks for the translation!

I think this one is wrong. Here she said she was desperate to "never" let Reini say he wants to die with her. This doesn't make sense. She was desperate to make him say that, not to "never" make him say that.

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

I think this one is wrong. Here she said she was desperate to "never" let Reini say he wants to die with her. This doesn't make sense. She was desperate to make him say that, not to "never" make him say that.

Maybe by that she meant "I was desperate to say it first so you didn't have to."
With overall context, either could make sense, although I do see the other TL being more accurate.

Yuri's first fear nut, reiji on demon time. Clapping cheeks outside the door making Nagi listen is a whole nother level of darkness. Full on literal hate boner

 

[Lustrist]

bro he died in 1976

 

[Anon94]

The maledom nut

I think you're right, yeah. I noticed her line about the uncle is slightly off as well; this version of the translation, what she says doesn't really flow together logically, unless she's trying to imply she thinks Mao is at least living a shitty life ("the life he deserves"), but that doesn't seem likely.

We should ask the TLs in the other abyss server on discord why that choice of words.

The things that annoy me with this chapter are actually 2: that "Take me to the sea" line.
It sounds a lot more selfish than the og and more inclusive"Let's go into the sea" (海に行こう/Umi ni ikou). Also, Yuri's rant was all about her going to confess and being rejected, not about her dumping Reiji, that's some MemeTL level of mistranslation.

The "You're next" line kinda makes sense if we consider AW, when they were BCS, translated a line from one of the chapts from vol. 5 where Reiji, in the RAWs (and the official spanish TL, had to check and verify that was the case) threatened Yuri to expose her grooming with the school authorities, but they adapted it to Reiji going to kill her for what she has done to Chako. Anyway, it sounds like Reiji has her as her 2nd target on his list of people to be murdered (Mao being the top priority).

Gotta have to go to ask them. Because the wait for the spanish releases is gonna be quite long, they are releasing the volumes on a bimonthly schedule.

I really just thought "ooo new chapter" but I was like wait I read this a while ago nvm

 

[hsun]

Yay for motivation.

Hunt for Mao begin.

I actually had this thought in the beginning, he needs a violent urge to understand life. He was never violent ever, just empty. I mean all humans live through consumption and he was just endlessly consumed. Nagi is the same way. But I felt it was wrong to say such a thing. Good thing Ryo isn't afraid.
