Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san - Vol. 11 Ch. 79 - What is it, Senpai?

[architeus]

I sometimes ask this in the comment section. What is the average age of mangadex reader?

 

[Tompkins275]

yoooo this manga is so good once you get past the masochist horror of the first thirty or so chapters

Yeah I already know what you are saying. But the male MC was just saying that she is not acting her usual self, which I believe is another phrase for “what’s wrong”. Her reacting that way is pretty toxic imo and kinda rich coming from the FeMC who keeps (imo) taunting/teasing the MC when he makes silly mistakes (most of the time). Btw real winners/champions does not react to loses like her, they get motivated to get better after every loss, I guess she is not much of a winner/champion after all.

What is there to hate on

 

[Cobaltius]

In my opinion the use of 'normalfag' feels out of place. I think it's primarily because to me at least it seems like an insult, while it seemed much more like they were teasing the MC instead of insulting him to his face.

PS: It's perfectly acceptable to provide constructive criticism of the translation and to provide your opinion.

PPS: It's quite telling when people defending the use of 'normalfag' only have the argument that it's 'normal' because they use it. Just because it's a word that charecters of that age would probably know doesn't make it a good/accurate translation.

 

[Notbaal]

@Cobaltius I agree, it feels out of place. I feel like 'Normie' would fit the same role & come off more naturally in the script

@Kevadu

I don't know man

Then don't write it in the first place.

one panel

"... really frustrated whenever she lost." Implies regularity.

nothing in either art or text about her being "consoled

True. I admit factually wrong and misleading wording. I tried to convey that Nagatoro kept her eye on Orihara, continued training with her, and considering Orihara's attitude that they were pals (at least from Orihara perspective).

 

[SirBernardOftheValley]

Dang, most of the people here act like teenagers don't know slurs lol.

 

[Cobaltius]

@SirBernardOftheValley as I said earlier, just because a teenager would know a slur doesn't mean that they would use it. What we are arguing is that it feels out of place and therefore is a bad translation.

Don't get yourself so worked up, kid. "Cancel culture" is the centrist/corporatist political establishments trying to weaponize the idea of a more equitable and accepting world against their political enemies. People who actually want to make the world a better place want to call in, not call out. And also generally support being more open and accepting about sexuality. Anti-porn crusades are bible-beater & TERF s**t, and those people are *reactionaries*. Wanting to censure *actual rapists* does not imply supporting that nonsense.

Opportunistic bad actors out there will use anything they can grab if it makes a convenient club. That has no bearing on whether a particular word choice is going to sound cringey (/even cringier) in 10 years.

 

[YeahChlorineYeah]

Why are you guys so upset about "normalfag"? /a/ is translating this, you should probably just get over it.

 

[Tearsax]

So it was ok while you won, but you gave up and quited after losing once?
Sounds like those thugs that only take advantage of those weaker than them and hide from the strong.
What a weak willed as fuck coward.

 

[psuedo]

Man Nagatoro's story kinda reminds me of Sasuke getting pissed that Naruto just seems to be getting stronger and stronger while he is barely getting stronger, back during OG Naruto. Kakashi tells Sasuke something along the lines of him being at lvl 50 while Naruto is at Lvl 1 and so of course Naruto will seem to be getting stronger faster. It is because Sasuke was just way stronger than Naruto to begin with, and thus it takes more training to raise his current lvl than Naruto. I kinda have a feeling that Paisen will say something along those same lines to Nagatoro.

 

[Saikonotjpn]

Oh no, f ggots are complaining. Shut the fck up u ret rds. This is their translation. They are providing us with free English translation and y'all bitching about their translation, my god just stfu. Btw translators keep y'all doing and have a nice day. Don't let these fcktards affect you.

 

[nickodicko]

@psuedo yeah it was giving me those vibes as well

 

[smoothoperator]

>y'all
N

 

[Cobaltius]

@YeahChlorineYeah Personally my problem isn't with the the use of the term, but that it feels out of place and therefore is a bad/inaccurate translation.

 

[BryanXXV]

holy fck , what happened to the comment section. Anyway, love the translation fam, KEEP IT UPPP !!!😃😃

 

[MajorAlexJackson]

@Cobaltius funny since you have zero credence on the topic yet you're spamming your reddit rambling anyway.

Feel free to leave any time

I imagine Senpai will find a somewhat kinder way to say this, but yeah, that's exactly where this should be going. Nagatoro is being exactly the kind of wimp that he used to be before Nagatoro started dragging him kicking and screaming out of his comfort zone. If she can't handle it if the shoe is on the other foot, she doesn't deserve him. The moment of truth.

Well-done cliffhanger, if nothing else.
