Eva Efa hmmm. I wonder if the difference is less subtle to a Japanese speaker.

i enjoy the translator's notes much more than the chapter itself lol it's fun to read

The translator's notes are so fun to read!

I enjoyed the new chapter!

Just thinking if they'll ever meet Gen's crew...

 

[Sprocket]

I want to go to the translator’s family’s restaurant now 😋

 

[GearOFF]

More wholesome development for Hans!
Cannot wait for the isekai soy sauce guy to meet him.

Eva Efa hmmm. I wonder if the difference is less subtle to a Japanese speaker.

Get in the Eva, Efa

It's nice to see the knight lady and the little girl eating in a place that isn't Nobu.
It seems that local food is not totally ignored or dismissed by the novelty of Japanese food in Aitheria.

 

[Nyaako]

Seriously, thank you for picking this up and even adding your own TL Notes at the end, those are enjoyable to read and learn about various things Nobu brings up.

I bet the local food has also drastically improved when Nobu came along. Competition always breed innovation.

My sports team wins AND a new chapter of Nobu?

Best day ever!

The correct name is "Eva".

The reason she is called "Ēfa" ("エーファ") in Japanese is because they tried to follow German phonetics, where the "V" sounds closer to an "F". So "Efa" is more similar to how a German pronounces "Eva".

 

[jp-ls]

"Efa" sounds cute in my head, and it fits her character. If it were Liontine's name instead, then "Eva". Just my two cents.

Chapter full of learnings, both for Hans and TL-san. You love to see it.

 

[Pars_d]

Despite watching the anime, I somehow never caught the difference. Guess that means I'm fairly indifferent.

 

[BusWindow]

You're not wrong, the change to Efa is rather jarring. I get it though considering I don't think the letter "V" is in the Japanese alphabet, but since it's translating a non-japanese name I would prefer her name return to being Eva because both I'm used to it, and that it sounds more like a real name instead of Efa.

 

[dalnirath]

Just change it to Aoife and call it a day

 

[oclenbo]

thank for your hard work!

 

[damadicius]

I’ve seen this exact translation discrepancy twice, the one before this was from Ascendance of Bookworm.

The fan translated it as Eva but the official translation was Effa.

I’m fine with whatever.

 

[starartx]

Thanks so much for the scanlation! 🩷

proud of Hans. He’s growing

With regard to Eva/Efa:

I suspect it might be an attempt by the original mangaka to translate the Gaeltacht name Aoife, which is pronounced Eva (with a sort of soft v, since it's an f).
