Futago Matomete "Kanojo" ni Shinai? - Vol. 5 Ch. 19.1 - During the testing period a lot happened...?

[ciera]

Thanks for the release

doesn't make them completely pointless and forgettable in volumes 2 & 3 tho. also glad to hear someone picked the series back up after hiraeth dropped it more than 1.5 years ago.

also, any idea where to read from volume 4 onwards. apparently "slimey translations" took over, but according to novel updates they don't have a website and just googling yields jackshit.

Links are on the NU book page if you sign in.

never heard of a website that completely hides the fact they even have links lol
cause i thought it was info only. normally they just say links require login or whatever.

You can read it from Esnovels and Animestuff. they have up to volume 5 translated.

I'm sure it's kept that way to prevent spiders and other bots from spotting the presence of actual hotlinking.

I was about to ask if I'm just too used to 100 Girlfriends to understand this NTR thing but yeah the original line is just "I know this is consensual, but I have to wonder how Hikari is actually feeling right now." Being a little loose with the translation is totally fine, but come on. Don't just change the meaning this drastically. Nobody's being cheated on.

Seriously, what were you guys thinking? The strongest point about scanlations is staying true to the original text and not "improving" it. The translator's changes were so obvious that reading the text was jarring. Please don't do that again.

the fack is tongue HOCKEY????

well, picture a couple hockey sticks fighting over a puck

that's approximately frenching

 

[Flame-2-Haze]

Tongue hockey are just French people fighting each other.

 

[Friendly-Sentence710]

Hii-chan is turning her sister into scandalous woman.

the fack is tongue HOCKEY????

We called it Tonsil Hockey where I was from.
There are two mouths that form the rink and two tongue-teams smashing into each other as they go all over the ice.
Also because if you aren't careful and go at it too hard, someone might end up with a chipped tooth.

We need more honest couples like these... !!

I believe you mean "Throuple"

leave it to muricans to come up with weird slangs for "anything"...sigh... if only you were half as interested in keeping your governments in check. Yes, Plural. I don't care if usa, canadian or mexican. still muricans from over the pond.

We did our best. Part of scanlating is localizing it from what we understand. Saying scanlation should be true to original text is only partly true but also wrong. A lot of things in japanese do not make sense or are worse contextually when translated to english. If. This is a fan translation at the end of the day. We failed in this part unfortunately. We will fix it when we finish 19.2 and just reupload as ch 19

Cute chapter, though did he really consider it "NTR" to kiss the sister considering he's dating both? They're in a poly relationship, if you consider kissing one of them NTR'ing the other you need to reevaluate things...
Edit* to add, he has kissed Hikari twice now behind Chikage's back (clubroom and his bedroom) and never considered that NTR'ing Chikage. Starting to think he likes one sister a lot more than the other...

This was more of a localization thing from us as we tried figuring out a better way to word it and struggled. we apologize we'll fix it

This was more of a localization failure part on us and the tl trying to make it a more "humorous"? We failed in this part unfortunately. We will fix it when we finish 19.2 and just reupload as ch 19

You are currently on an apology tour in this thread, so I would say while your heart may be kind, you are very much in the wrong. The story is not set in America and you are not Seven Seas screwing up yet another translation for agenda, normies, and profit. Scanlation is at least 30 years into its existence as a hobby, its audience is very much capable of knowing the Japanese have a different culture and to absorb stories through that lens. Use TN notes if you fear that "contextually worse" or "not making sense," we're proper fans, unlike tourists, we can figure it out.

Also, as someone who did public relations for a long time, your success in avoiding saying "I'm sorry, we made a mistake" is worthy of promotion into the ranks of corporate management.

im sorry we made a mistake. xD in no way was I trying to avoid an apology but mb if it came across that way xD. We simply messed up in the translation and we already said we'd fix it. However with you bringing up scanlation as something that should be literal translation absolutely makes no sense whatsoever. People interpret things differently sure maybe you're a hardcore fan, not others if we had used literal translations for everything you would be getting something akin to mtl slop with unreadable translations like something you would get if u simply put the text into google translate. We're not saying we weren't wrong but pls dont make it seem like we're trying to avoid responsibility nor disregard our efforts as we've put in hours of our own time into this.
