wtf, I came for cool ero art and ended up learning stuff, I love this.

It isn't degenerate fanservice, it's education, I swear. See how eagerly I review this material for learning.

 

[Rovold]

Yay, I feared that translation got dropped

The word “meat” is being used in this translation where, instead, “flesh” should be used.

The word “meat” is being used in this translation where, instead, “flesh” should be used.

Regarding that, Tamamon frequently uses "お肉" possessively. From back in chapter 2, where there's a joke being made about Hina's mother using "肉" to refer to actual meat, and Tamamon using "お肉" to refer to Hina's body. In chapter 3, when Komachi tells Tamamon that she's banned from making sexual art, Tamamon's response is "私からお肉を奪わないで～", or "Don't [steal/take away] my [meat/flesh]~".

The concern here is that it's a word she frequently uses to refer to her artistic inspiration -- that is, the female body. Since she uses it so much as if it's an object of inspiration, you should be able to see how "meat" is a better translation overall. "Don't take away my flesh" sounds stilted and unusual, whereas "meat" makes more sense as something you appreciate and "consume." At that point it's about consistency, and I think choosing one to stick with consistently is for the best -- and meat fits more naturally into the many uses of "お肉" in the manga.

I dont usually read stuff like this, but this manga actually manages to make it interesting rather than throwing unneeded 'fan-service' left and right

 

[KZO]

There is something special about pure childhood friends getting NTR'd.

I'm definitely on the side of fantasy outfits, almost everything I commission involves those.

Why? The vocabularies of Japanese and English don't have a homomorphism in either direction. Attempting to use the same word everywhere is simply going to result in avoidable, spurious connotations. A marginal note can be used to convey the point that a particular word was used in the original, if you think that point important.

 

[SuzuPazuzu]

Hmm... I do see your point, and I don't disagree necessarily, but I think it retains the same feeling -- in the way you might see someone reply "thank you for the food" to art they like, in the sense that it "gives sustenance." Ultimately I'll still defer to the translator's opinion on what would be best when putting the chapters together.
