The Sakamoto author? Picked the fuck up.

 

[Crosonical]

Boy, this is way weirder than Sakamoto.

 

[goronyanpai]

I read the first volume already.
So many Sakamoto's references.
What make difference is it has creepy and mysterious vibes. But, uh, the tag says it's comedy.
Not really funny at all, though. Or is it dark comedy?
But this is really make me curious, because I don't know where this story will go.

[ghostkun]

....figured it was the Sakamoto guy just from the cover.

 

[UncleBenny]

what is this how can this be so weeeeeird I don't know how I feel about this...

 

[monkry]

Aaa from Sakamoto's author... No wonder I feel Hinamatsuri vibe ? (Yeah, I know fosho it's not from Hinamatsuri's author, just the level of... something-something is on or even more than Hinamatsuri)

 

[Nektiny]

nice funny story of twins who are beging way too paranoid. Hope they are not going to kill someone >.>

 

[thebenefactor]

This is so weird and creepy but I somehow really like it. ? Thank you for translating it!

 

[comedyxtragedy]

From Sakamoto author? I knew it!

 

[DjAlexDubCheck]

@Nektiny That's exactly their purpose

 

[Meskie]

I love this so much

 

[DRYHij843g]

The second English chapter got removed, could anyone re-upload it?
EDIT: Many thanks!

 

[goronyanpai]

Unexpectedly quite dark.
Dark comedy indeed.

 

[Senshougahara]

No wonder, its from sakamoto's author. Good one.

 

[gomichandesu]

Just curious as someone who studies Japanese and wants to know more, why is "Dali" the translation here? I know when romanizing R's and L's can become muddied, but wouldn't "Dari" be the correct use, since their names are clearly a play on "Right and Left" (Migi and (hi)Dari)? Is there something in the way the author writes it that makes his name romanized to an L, or is that just kinda a translation preference to make it sound more like a "real name" or whatever?

 

[Kiraidesu]

@gomichandesu The author has their preferred transliteration on the cover, so that's that.

In the hypothetical situation where this does not exist, the "technically correct" pronunciation is indeed "Dari," with that ambiguous Japanese "ri," but katakana transliterations of foreign words are always just approximations, so any competent translator would use their best judgment. A translator would be very justified to interpret the name ダリ in a surrealist manga as a reference to Salvador Dali, and translates accordingly.
