Harten - Ch. 3 - Rest

[Statyc]

Either Nayu is a troublemaker or their older caretakers were really bad

No, Nayu is just rambunctious.

Right. Translation isn't just about purely translating words. It's also to match intent and feel as best as possible. For example, "thieving cat" gets swapped out for "homewrecker" in the appropriate context.

Fun fact: that is what is actually called "localisation". Not just blindly translation words but also "intend". Like my old Teacher once said: "You translate a Manual but localize a story." Japanese is difficult to localize for many reasons and ended up being too much for me so I dropped it. I have weak bones and shamed my ancestors.
Sadly these days a group of "localizers" dragged the term through the mud because they decided to rewrite the intend which pretty much disqualifies you from the job. I probably don't have to mention what I mean.

oh, so the new trend is playing "hide and sic", uh...
well, nothing a finely sliced "pork" ramen can't heal...

 

[Llangion]

[Nanarnia]

For reference, the official English names of the characters are “Harten” and “Auyn”. See:

Obviously, they've both undergone redesigns since then, Auyn especially, but that shouldn't necessarily change their name Romanizations. (And this explains the title from whomever made the MD and MU pages.)

So elf girl's supposed to be the heroine?

And she was originally human?

Why are there is a water falling from my eyes?

Every chapter focusing on a place it feels different and nice. Its sad that arwyn now has a hide n seek trauma but anyway. I hope this will be long without changing too much overall bc its too good.

 

[cockmeat]

aww the kids seem really nice, Nayu is super cute and Ben is grounded. I really hope Arwyn can settle in
Lets get em all Harten

 

[beneaththedirt1]

if you ever feel sad, remember that harten's arms are massive and he can punch through walls

 

[WhimsiCat]

Either Nayu is a troublemaker or their older caretakers were really bad

Or the reason she's an orphan involved her being a 'bad girl' before.

So while she's recovered enough to be playful, seeing Aywrn crying dug up some past trauma of hers.

 

[EdenMarino]

Very convincing trauma, very sad to see her have to go through that, but now she's surrounded by people who will help her heal. Also Harten looks so badass every panel he's in.

 

[Dagger]

You know it's a Japanese fantasy because they take off their shoes indoors

Europeans also do.

 

[sotokouya]

Though that boyish face on a jacked body is creepy AF.

 

[Ares19373]

Now i know why i have that dreadful feeling i cant put into words while reading this manga, This is another made in abyss where the characters are cute but the world is gonna fuck them over anytime soon

Nah, harten gonna save em. Maybe not all. But you know damn well he will save em

 

[IbnAurum]

Nooo baby, my shaylaa 😭😭 she's retching noooo fuck man ill do anything to make her happy but i cant give her her mom and home

 

[SuplexSensei]

Fck, I'm lying down and I want to sob quietly whilst hugging with this tiny Arwyn.

This seems like an orphanage. Ben & Nayu would be a perfect match as Arwyn's friends, playmates, and confidants. Clar-san is already setting herself as the kind capable sister figure but... the trauma is still fresh in her mind. Clara is probably making the right call, keeping her company. Hopefully Arwyn reaches out to the two, simply finding the courage to be a normal kid again.

p.s. Haten looks like a serial killer turned vanguard-type adventurer. He cool asf ngl

 

[Snovember]

Why does it feel like I read this exact manga before already? Did the author release a one-shot before and this is the serialisation?
