Isekai Ojisan

Those translations are from chinese, so if you want to use them, it's still recommended to have a japanese reader proofcheck. They were decent though, probably close to TL from japanese.

Translations from 27.1 onwards are by @tea-sea who tried to upload to MD but people complained about his not-so-typesetting and it got taken down (mistake IMHO).

waiting for @tea-sea before we do anything, we don't want to cause too much of a disturbance so we're hoping to hear the full story about this scanlation drama and discuss how we can settle this peacefully.

To any groups starting on this now:

Is chapter 26 by me. The only reason I  haven't posted it yet was because I was waiting on another user to complete 25, which didn't end up happening.

I still don't want to post it before 25 goes up, but please use it when you do complete 25.


@Kato_007
The drama was:

Once upon a long time ago.....
The group Striptease provided semi-regular but constant updates to this series. Disrupting this group for various reasons, the user Kontol sniped a couple of chapters.
In a huff, Striptease dropped the series with angry words.

Since then, Kontol did not continue updating the series, nor did anyone pick it up again, but several other users posted updates of variable quality (mostly based off 4chan translations). And in amongst commentary about the series, fans of Striptease continue to post ominous rumours about how Striptease will return, redoing all of the 'off-brand' translations and continuing regular updates... which discourages many groups.

And... that's it.

@Afiaki thanks for the update we will discuss about this within our group

Seeing the rude person going after Mabel is scary because Mabel is an idiot

 

[Jojeke]

@Afiaki Submitted. Cut down on quality a bit and revised my plan to do all the sfx, but I just have very little time at the moment and this is a race against the clock.
I'm content with it though.

 

[Afiaki]

@Jojeke, okay thanks man. Thanks for making the time for it.
Yours is just getting verified, so I'll upload 26 after that's done and then hopefully this other group is going to pick it up properly.

And, yeah... welcome to the world of donating loads of your own time and then being forced into a schedule, lest it be for nothing.
I'm in the same boat with limited free-time, just sailed it with this already.

 

[OnDeedolito]

Thanks to both of you (and tea-sea...).

@Afiaki

Worst part about the drama?

GigaKontol, the only guy in Kontol hasn't logged on for 5 months.
Its a sock puppet account and a sock puppet group.
They got their jollies and screwed everyone and left.

 

[LordCBoD]

Okay I'm confused it says chapter 25 is new but I could have sworn I already read that chapter.

 

[HuevoPodrido]

This series is so painful to read, I feel like crying, laughing and cringing at the same time.
Is it good? Yes
Am I having a good time? God no! But I want to know what happens next.

 

[Afiaki]

@LordCBoD
An MTL chapter was posted a month ago, but the uploader removed it for various reasons.

 

[Afiaki]

@crazybars
I don't know... maybe...
At the least, somebody with Kontol's scanlation style posts random out-of-order pages to the 4chan translation threads, like trolling, by implying "it's being worked on so why are you bothering to translate it."

Spoiler

Just the same as Striptease fans post rumours about them "still working on it," "just waiting on the new volume releases," etc.

kontol basically means

penis

in Indonesian language so it always throws me out of the loop whenever I saw that word being used as a group name....

Oi guys, I found the author's Twitter and Pixiv:

And why there's none of them on the title page?!

 

[Avengerfortress]

I feel sorry for the uncle yet I’m laughing. Even though I’m only on the chapter 6. Hope something good happens to the uncle.

 

[Misiek452]

This story was fun at first, but after a couple of chapters, its just sad, and sometimes tragic. No more laugh and giggles, more "Jesus Christ...." moments.

 

[Dreis]

@tea-sea thanks for the translations! It’s nicely done. Mangadex should’ve let it uploaded with a note

 

[Kozan]

@Jojeke and @Afiaki thank you for translating Chapters 25 and 26.

This is a truly amazing manga. You can go from insane laughter to near tears within two pages. The author dances around isekai tropes, subverting them and playing them straight to get those reactions, masterfully.
