Same. Her being jealous was funny and endearing.

Girl is not ready.

She's just like me fr fr

In the JP raws, Ichi corrects the little girl when she calls him a witch (Majo), and he says "I'm Ichi the Warlock" (Madan. Madan no Ichi.) All that awkward "lady witch" dialogue towards the end is stuff the localizer made up. Because calling him a witch is a translation error, the translator has had to make more translations errors (read: made shit up) to try and get a similar meaning.

I'm going to be upset about this deliberate mistranslation until it gets fixed.

I wonder if the plot will progress and be more than just him being the only male witch.

Hopefully we get a scan group that picks this series up, cuz this isn't the first time that the "official" translations has said something different than what was said in the raws

Bits of comedy, bits of bonding and friendship, bits of adventure, the author nailed it so far.

Finally read this series just today
it's very good, I liked it

and then your comment here makes the whole thing make much more sense

the original emphasis on the difference between majo (魔女) with 女=woman and madan (魔男) with 男=man
it's a really weird choice to translate them both as witch
why not at least wizard for the men, like in Harry Potter

Now I'm gonna read the Japanese version to see what else is different as you said.

just came back from reading the Japanese
I put my overall conclusion in the page comment

 

[fight2live]

things that made me laugh in this chapter:

1. descaras' one-page recap
2. "mental readiness: not even close"
3. descaras doesn't like being left out

i love it!!! and that title drop with the "cool guy doesn't look at explosion" trope? *chef kiss

 

[Noitoart]

descaras is such a dork, you cant help but love her dispite having her nose up her ass XD

 

[testrogen]

Kumugi is just the cutest little thing

 

[pepperonimadness]

HE SAID THE THING!

The writing quality so far is in no way inferior to how she does Iruma. I really have high hopes for this one

Are… are you me? Glad to see I'm not the only one who cares. I'd go with “Wizard” over “Warlock” now because it doesn't seem like a hypernym is needed and because the “Wi” overlap is more than just the “W” overlap, but yeah I fundamentally agree.
