This kind of sucks, but it is what it is. I wish he could write his way out of this 'hole', though. I wonder if there was complaints in the home country about those two chapters.
Also, I hope they stay up here somehow.
Just a random slightly off-topic but reading a comment like this made something really apparent to me. Let me preface this by saying this is not a criticism, just an observation.
Recently this big thing with Hideo Kojima and his studio being dropped by Sony happened. A lot of consternation ensued, and even articles about what really happened occurred are released by pundits with shaky sources.
Later a post by Kojima's studio was released in both English and Japanese denouncing those articles, basically saying only they, Sony and Xbox (which picked up their game) know what happened, and asking fans not to speculate. The subtext is also clearly aimed at those pundits trying to sound like they are in the know.
The comments under either version of the post couldn't be more different. Under Japanese, fans state the usual support for Kojima's studio going forward, while also saying here and there that they are glad they are trying to preserve the relationship with Sony and that they look forward to whatever positive might come from this.
Under English, nobody really addresses the studio directly and it devolves into conspiratorial level speculation about what the post really means, how much is boilerplate, what was not 'denied' and therefore is 'true' about the accusations. Everyone appears to want someone to 'lose', and there is also speculation about what the Japanese fans think, which is funny cuse the relevant post and replies are kind of just 'next door'.
This comment section feels a little bit like that to me. Not a lot, just a bit. But all of that just makes me wonder due to the context. Obviously nobody here addresses Kisa directly because they assume they are not reading the comments here. And even on creator socials, English speakers may act in a way where they assume Japanese creators do not read or do not understand English posts.
I wonder if in general, anime and gaming pop culture has just evolved the way it has, because of this natural disconnect. Unfortunately, if it has, I also think it results in rather negative leaning runarounds in discussion. The natural course most humans take when talking about someone else who isn't in the room is usually a spiral into pointless gossip.
