Food Court de, Mata Ashita. - Vol. 1 Ch. 13

[Duribu]

I don't get what everyone's mad about. The translation seemed fine, yeah it's sniping a chapter, but I don't see the 'the end' note everyone is yelling about.

 

[gouder]

Uh oh drama

 

[themoobz]

NUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@Duribu
A quick visit to any aggregator will show that the uploader originally put this as the last page, but updated it within the last two or three hours to the actual correct one:

That's it.
The end.
The curtain falls.
Go home, you all.

 

[PickYerPoison]

Bait nonsense aside I'm honestly just glad I can read this chapter's translation. Those last few were atrocious.

 

[CookieMonster]

Wada acting bitchy despite being wrong and Yamamoto is absolutely right about her. She forgot about Yamamoto just because some cute guy. Imagine what happens if they start dating, Wada'll ditch her friend in an instant.

40 comments, I thought it was gonna be a great chapter but it's all translator BS ..............AGAIN
You know what, I like this story, I really do but I'll just leave it be and come back some other time and pick it up from a dedicated translator like Emeliak, I can't enjoy it if It has 50% chance of trolling or low effort every time a new guy decided that it's best to snipe this from the guy who snipped from the guy who snipped... it's tiring

 

[SuperOniichan]

@Serenata I don't understand why people just can't translate this at the same time. On Russian resources titles can have only one active translator, but there are no such restrictions.

@JustForTheLulz

Well, well. I'm late aren't I? If I wasn't I wouldn't find this funny, but even while knowing that I still skipped a beat on there thinking it would really end for a second.


To hell with that troll page tho.

EDIT: Someone updated the manga's page just because of this. The message says:

No, the manga does not end at chapter 13

@SuperOniichan It's not that it can't, it's that invariably someone comes in that doesn't understand Japanese, relies entirely on machine translation, quite obviously doesn't have decent English-language skills and pushes out chapters that are barely readable and/or close to troll releases. There's a lot of people who will 1. be totally happy with this barely-readable output and also 2. bash the previous translators for being slow/holding back chapters/etc.

Unsurprisingly this discourages the people that take their time to do proper releases, frequently leading to them quitting and finding another title to translate instead. And then invariably, now that there's no one to snipe, and it turns out that pushing out troll releases with machine translation is actually kind of boring in the long run, the other person quits and then no one is translating the title at all.

For those of us that care about a title and want decent quality translations, the above is really fucking annoying to put it mildly.

I don't know if this translator's trying to troll deliberately, but the quality of their releases, that insanely troll-ish screw-up with the last page and their trollish-sounding nick kind of makes it hard to give them the benefit of the doubt. People are assuming the worst and are upset at the possibility a great manga they love is going to end up with no one translating it because of another damn troll. Would you be happy at that outcome?

 

[SuperOniichan]

@manabi I myself translate some manga into Russian and I know how difficult it is sometimes to translate even a phrase with a meaning you understand. But I thought that for trolling and/or extremely poor translation on mangadex you would simply be banned. For example, on the most popular Russian manga resource, any chapter will first be checked by a moderator and only then published. Even if you are a respected team that has been translating this work for several months or years. At least when that "daddy in the east" meme was made, when people posted Kaguya's machine translation there, the chapter was deleted after a while.

 

[JianNg]

Aaaand a fight! They're doing it right already!

 

[manabi]

@SuperOniichan It doesn't seem to happen that way with the English translations. This chapter proved that, with that last page mistake being close to a troll to the point someone had to edit the manga description to note that the manga didn't end with chapter 13. And there's other ways to troll, by changing things subtly so that a quick check won't notice, or be like that one guy who delighted in translating and releasing chapters way past the current releases that would reveal spoilers for the title. (He's the reason there's a warning about chapter gaps, and the reason you can blacklist groups.)

 

[AHunter]

Why is everyone upset at the last page? i didn't even notice the différence, it was pretty obvious it wasn't gonna end like that.

 

[AgentKuga]

damn you all

 

[SuperOniichan]

@manabi I thought this warning was an obvious feature. That is, it appeared after toxic trolling?

 

[BCS]

I would applaud if the author actually had the balls to end this on a sour note
