[m6n]

I used to do it in the past for stuff like Shangri-La Frontier, Records of Ragnarock, and Black clover but stopped do I'm a little rusty, any recommendations for font or stuff is appreciated

I was actually working on translating this but I was too slow dangit...
Just finished getting all the raws yesterday too
Are you gonna do the rest of the chapters or is this just a one off thing?

I like that her personality hasn't changed but people are like she's pretty.

It really shows how appearance and gender can affect a person's impression of you.

Maybe I was just so excited to read another chapter of this, but I don't think I noticed anything too bad for an MTL. Was wondering what your process is like! Any particular interpretations or research or anything, or DeepL with proofreading, or something else?

Anyhow, thanks for the TL 🙏

 

[MTFish90]

yoooooooooooo, second chapter

 

[Stevenwu143]

Please chapter 3

 

[Kyuketsuki]

As the mom I could expect some complex feelings. As now her son become her spitting image daughter. Yet she has not been tempted to do things she likely has not had the opportunity to as a mother/daughter.

 

[Vaudevillian]

The mother is at least very accepting, or just aloof.

Schizo headcanon time!

”It’s random chance” is just a convenient lie told to subjects who haven’t yet realized/won’t admit that the sex change is due to their own desires. The truth is, Richou was always a maiden at heart, she just hadn’t realized it yet, and the lie told here is a way of delicately handling trans people who may not yet have discovered it or are hiding it. Good for her, hope she comes to terms with her own feminity soon!

Anyways I’m headcanoning this solely because the “random chance” thing is way too handwavey. At least make a supernatural event like this a themes and such thing rather than having essentially the equivalent of the author stepping in and saying they just didn’t give thought to it and wanted to skip to writing the story.

It's a twist of fate. It just so happens that fate is a mind reader.

It's like how the type of animal is based on the manner of the crashout. It just wouldn't really make sense for the sex change to just have nothing to do with it.

I think it'd be a total copout if the reason is just that Richou was upset they couldn't write female characters, and on a whim wished they were a girl so they could, what, write better heroines?

Nah, I diagnose you with girly heart, Richou

Nothing wild, I get the images, send them to gemini, give some names and prompts and it translates the images, I clean the text, add the new text and edit it to feel better. Nothing wild

 

[PfortnerLehrer]

Thank for the warm reception everyone and I'll be getting the third chapter done tonight and uploaded, since they verified I'm not a bot the 3rd chapter shouldn't take 2 days like the 2nd chapter did.

 

[PfortnerLehrer]

w levi i love you

I love you too random citizen

 

[Travisun]

Muchos Gracias for the translation . I'm just happy that I can at least read another chapter of this series in English.

 

[PfortnerLehrer]

So not sure if it's on my side but chapter 1 disappeared, do you guys want me to do that before or after chapter 3?

Chapter 1 is still available elsewhere, I wouldn’t bother translating it.

Thanks for picking it up btw. I personally had trouble differentiating who was talking at times, particularly when Richou ends up on top Kouji.

Should I color the text from person to person to help with that? Or any ideas because I'd like to make it as fluent to read as possible

I would guess to make the dialogue fit the character, but I can’t really advise on that since I don’t understand Japanese and therefore can’t get a gauge on what the characters are actually saying.

Alternatively, you could use different fonts to indicate different characters (or just the tone). For example, chapter 2, page 9, the shaky speech bubble could use a different font or just use italics to indicate that (what I assume is Kouji) is speaking in a meeker, subtler tone.

I think you should avoid colouring the dialogue because it could look gaudy, but who knows.
