Thanks for picking back up the translation even if....you don't really expect people to go sideways everytime there is a thin tall panel do you?

Also hope you got these from the volume release for higher resolution and in case they are less censored.

It always amazes me how … unoptimized people can be fine with having their works leave their hands despite access and exposition to overwhelming amounts of reference material that one would think should be enough to infuse how it's done. It's not like these people are members of uncontacted tribes or something who never saw a manga, book, paper, written language, anything run on electricity, let alone modern information technology devices, mechanical devices more complicated than a monjolo, let alone a printing press.

No. These people read manga, even own copies, and like this medium so much they get up one day and say to themselves, "I want to do that, too," … and then proceed to disgorge something so garishly unlike what they've been used to. And I don't mean genuine mistakes like typos, duplicate words across a line break, inserting a word one place too early or late … you know, slip-ups that can happen when you divide your attention between too many aspects at once, try to cover too many bases yourself. I mean things which have rules and guidelines. Which are formally taught and/or can be looked up or easily derived. Things which in side-by-side comparison with existing material would stick out so much they'd slap you in the face. Like not capitalizing names, breaking words at the next best letter, not using hyphens at those breaks, not using centered text alignment … even if you typeset in Paint, which has existed since before the universe even came to be and has only ever known left-aligned text, you could nudge lines with spaces.

How does this work? How does a human of reasonably expectable disposition and familiarity with a form of works consciously decide to engage in producing more of such works and then be perfectly content with said works to be so measurably inadequate? "Yes, this is the quality I want to be known for. This is the best I can be bothered to do." Is this really how you want to be understood?

Man, has that route ever happened before?
The author to "don't toy with me miss nagatoro" went through a similar path, tho not with that series, the guy was a firm hentai writer before making that series that's the only difference

One became chilled downed while the other was just not hentai

Also chained soldier got an anime, non censored

Come on man, it's still better than some stuff we once saw decades ago on the internet: rough MTL and raw scans straight out of the scanner machine, for instance.
At least folks who can't understand a single bit of moonrunes (a.k.a me), will be able to read the thing.

The real problem occurs when series with weak translations, like this one, don't get a "second take" scanlation by more talented people... or even worse, when low-effort sniping happens!!! Then it's a tragedy!!

But considering this manga got an anime adaptation really fast, I think it's a matter of time before it gets officially licensed in the west.
