Hello, it's me, your translator-kun.
You're probably wondering what took me so long for such a short chapter, and why I am writing this here, in the comment section, and not at the end of the chapter. The reason is very simple

SO

When I decided to translate this manga I was planning to release at least 1 chapter per month (AND I DID IT SO FAR, IT'S STILL 31/10 WHERE I AM[happy halloween btw lol]), but, you know, things happen... and I got fired from my job. Depression hit me hard, and right now I'm preoccupied with looking for a new one (job, not depression). I forced myself to do this chapter, so it may be low quality, if you find any mistakes with spelling or whatever - tell me, I'll fix them.
I have absolutely no idea if I'll manage to release a chapter in november, it's possible I'll go working abroad, and I don't have a laptop, so yeah, that's it. And I didn't wrote this in the chapter because it won't be relevant anymore for someone reading it, in like, six months.
Oh, and one last thing. Please be civil in the comments ffs, I know some people like Kiyosumi, and hate Enami, and vice versa, but no swearing at each other like under the last chapter.
That's it fellas, hope we will se each other soon.
Cheers! :*

Lol instead of acting like the average protagonist and thinking that the girl about to confess to him he thinks she about to mug him.




I don't know who made that joke page at the end of this chapter, but when Enami sang I had the exact same song in mind when Enami started singing.. How ironic, Mom spaghetti.

@Maister37
I really appreciate that you translated this chapter, I fucking love this manga, but real life is much more important than this shit. As Lazlo says don't force yourself, people can live without this manga, depressions rough man, trust me i'd know but good luck finding that job. Also, people are hating on Enami... the main protagonist? like wtf.

@Maister37 Interesting tactic, telling us off for swearing by swearing at us. Don't need to spell it out, "ffs" still counts as swearing.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, hope it works out for you.

No worries man, this is and should be just a hobby. I'll be glad to have another chapter in a month, six or twelve, as long as it takes.

Also, who hates Enami? He's a comedic, over the top character basically parodying the pretentious loner archetype.

Take your time man most of us are grateful just to even get something no need to push yourself for us.
Also why take issue with people swearing? I do it all the fucking time but it's not like a mean anything by
it it's just the way I fucking speak.

Appreciate you taking the efforts to get this chapter done, thank you.
But no manga is even remotely as important as you are
Go ahead with any reservations, and do you best!
Good luck, pal

@Maister37 Only thing I noticed was the "Pleas forgive me" in the lyrics, but it just sounded like he was singing in bad English so maybe it's intentional? Good stuff anyway.

"And I didn't wrote this in the chapter..."

Your translations are not that bad, but if you intend to continue translating in the future, then you really ought to work on improving your English language ability.

I'm quoting this part of what you wrote because it's a prime example of what you need to work on fixing.

If you use an auxiliary verb in the past simple tense, then the verb to which it's attached or modifying should stay written or spoken in the present tense.

In this case the auxiliary verb "do" has become "did", so the verb "write" should continue as "write" and not become the past tense "wrote".

And so, by applying this principle, the correct way to state the phrase would be "And I didn't write this in the chapter..."

Don't feel too bad about it. It's a very common mistake for people whose first language isn't English.

You made this same mistake in the previous chapter when you wrote, on the third page, "Did I just heard him inside saying he doesn't write novels?" In this case the mistake is "heard". To correct it, you should write, "Did I just hear him..." That is "hear", written in the present tense; Not "heard". This is because, for the past simple past tense, "did" also makes "hear" past tense.
