Isekai Kimagure Burari Tabi ~Dorei Harem wo Soete~ - Ch. 1

[shrike]

At least the art is good

 

[rafin016]

I stopped reading it when I couldn’t make sense out of the words

Well, it's MTL kek. And also kinda none or low proofreading I think, considering the guy didn't even fix the pronouns. We can clearly see who is male or who is female at least

 

[fasontales]

fake translation garbage

 

[Remy88Lebeau]

If there are FemaleGoblins then why the need for a captured FemaleHuman?

 

[Mr_Detective]

Sir, this is a Japanese manga.

If there are FemaleGoblins then why the need for a captured FemaleHuman?

I guess it's like sometimes, you wanna eat pho, instead of ramen, for a change of pace.

 

[Demenster]

That page 41 lady, new fetish acquired.

New?

 

[definitionofinsanity]

Broheim... Just because it's MTL doesn't mean you have to leave it as fucking word salad. Have an editor or a proofreader and just make the English comprehensible and keep it consistent (so we're not flipping around gender every 2 seconds like someone on Tumblr or something).

 

[Galder]

you know a manga is great when it starts off with gorialla neanderthals going "gofuu" and "gyafuu"

thanks for the machine translation btw

 

[JACGohu]

Credits say art is by Jouji Manabe? As in, Outlanders, and Lum...?

Guess the man got bored with doing nothing. Like previous comments said though, it's disheartening to read for very long when the translation is of this level.

 

[jagfanbb]

Fuck... not this shitty translator again 😭

I wonder if lonely shut-in recluse losers are the main demographic for comics and anime in Japan, because they really love using them as a protagonist in their work. It's more perplexing, because they rarely have the character really confront what it was that made them that way, or they just play it up as a joke; why not inspire these people to do better with their lives rather than just indulging in fantasies?

Heck, even many of the characters who are not shut-in recluses seem to show many tells that they were made for such a demographic of people to still associate with (being too focused on games, having no friends, hating their life, general depression, perpetual virgins, etc).

 

[RobDog]

Page 40, there's titties, page 41, there's no titties.
Make up your mind....

 

[Touyue]

Dang another MC shamelessly enjoying slavery and objectifying woman as tools for lust. Interestingly, not one of these slaves look sad. They are all complacent. I wonder why.

 

[TophatKiyaki]

The art for this has no right being as good as it is. LIke, damn, infinitely more interesting stories are drawn with half of this effort.

 

[raze2012]

People complaining about a slave harem in a manga who's title has "Accompanied by a Slave Harem" in it. Meanwhile I want that 4 booby woman on pg. 41 to get her own manga.

New?

suprisingly underutilized fetish, especially if you never watched total recall.

Funnily enough a very old mobile game (2015 I think) that never left Japan also had a 4 boobed woman go viral back in 2021.

Page 40, there's titties, page 41, there's no titties.

Same way in the raws. Tankobon comes out August 12th so I'm guessing it'll be uncensored there

If the audience is actual incel shut-in losers then they don't want characters confronting their problems because the whole point of the story is wish fulfillment. They want the audience to imagine their crap lives becoming better by the universe basically conspiring to hand them the chance to be a hero in the other world or gather a harem of sexy slave women that will devote themselves to the lead.

If you try and make these people confront their issues and better themselves then they have to actually accept and address the fact that their lives suck and the only person who has the power to do something about it is themselves and that's a problem that they'd rather avoid than address.

It's the same deal for slightly older series where the protagonist is a broken black company wage slave salaryman or or a painfully generic "nice guy" that acts entitled to have someone love them or whatever. Shallow wish-fulfillment requires not treating the disease, just the symptoms. And shallow wish-fulfillment is what the publishers want because if the audience betters themselves and stops being shut-in losers with no friends who believe that the world is conspiring against them, who's gonna by lazy horny isekai series about magic cheat powers and slave harems (at least the ones that aren't entertainingly crafted.)

The only thing that makes this series stand out is that it has the balls to pretend that it can portray the protagonist as at least somewhat of a decent person while also making no excuses for the fact that his stated goal is simply to buy slaves because they'll be forced to have sex with him since he's such a spineless loser that he won't even try to get a girl normally when he can just compel them to let him jam it in instead.

I think that's possible even with wish-fulfillment; have a reclusive loser get isekaied, but now they're thrust into having to have a job, having to interact with people, having to explore the world around - much of this is essentially already what isekais do anyway, but actually ruminate on why their life is better and how enjoyable the adventure of life is. Of course, I'm playing softly with the idea, and if you were to go harder on it would illustrate the point better (what if it's a reverse isekai with a recluse, and now he's enjoying the adventure of life in our world?), but so many of these do nothing in regards to the MC's loser origins besides bringing it up in shallow glimpses such as what we've seen here.
Why did he shut himself away to just play games? Is that no longer a problem now that he's in a different world?
I don't think you have to be heavy handed or make the reader confront the problems, you can do it in a very light hearted way that can just make them reassess, or view things differently.

I'm not really conspiracy brained, but with how Japan shills their idols (particularly to lonely men), I wouldn't be surprised if this is unfortunately the case and they're happy to perpetuate the cycle. I wonder if they're even trying to normalise and destigmatize it so that people will remain doing nothing but consuming their stuff.

All this though, and it still remains a mystery if they're really that big a part of the readership?

 

[Milkspacebar]

Our Mc is a genuine terrible person and the story has the depth of an oily street puddle.


See you guys here next chapter

I think I should've reworded what I wrote because I realize now it didn't quite come off how I intended mostly because I was kind of flippant to make a joke out of it. I didn't literally mean that the manga industry is trying with purpose and intent to encourage the issues in the reader base or that it's malicious or predatory in any way. Rather what I think the issue actually is would be more along the lines of Japan's extremely conflict-averse social nature. Japan is big on simply ignoring or not confronting problems if it's at all possible to put up with them, or if the issue doesn't concern you, or if addressing it would bring shameful attention to you or people around you. That mentality is a reason that "it can't be helped" is such a big part of how they deal with (or don't deal with) problems.

There are lots of stories of people who end up is hikkikomori for whatever reason (bullying, failing exams/getting fired, being abandoned/betrayed by friends or significant others, or just anxiety piling up until the person breaks) and the apparent usual response from the average Japanese family is to just sort of ignore/enable it. Make the person meals, do their laundry, let them sit in their room and never go out but in exchange also almost pretend like the person doesn't exist and never bring them up with others or talk about that person in anyone's presence. So I think what the people that write these stories do and think is less "we need to make some positive encouragement to show the healthy way of dealing with these problems that is transferable to the real world" and more "we need to give them a story that lets them escape from the issue into the shoes of the MC who has all these positives handed to them without the need to confront the underlying causes of their unhappiness/limitations."

basically the "it can't be helped" attitude that permeates Japanese culture (and to be fair, it does have its benefits in that it means they can ignore little annoyances that don't really deserve to be made a big deal of) has the side effect of them not wanting to confront the problem when they can instead just jingle their metaphorical keys and provide a distraction and if perpetuating the cycle means that they keep their audience hooked in, then that can't be helped either.
