Why "lesbian"? I'm too lazy to look up raw but wouldn't "sexless" fit much better here, judging from where the previous chapter left off?

 

[Mangamoz]

I don't think this is translated correctly, the flow of the conversation feels off.

 

[Darkshade13]

This... doesn't make sense.

I agree with the above that this might have been meant to be a discussion on sexless/distant couples instead. It maybe fell into a trap where the word for that has some old or slang definition referring to lesbians and the translation got tripped up by it.

They mistranslated レス as Lesbian, when it's the slang contraction for sexless, for those wondering.

Thank you for the update!

Thank you for the clarification.

I don't know, guys, while it may be a mistranslation, I find the idea of a guy's wife just randomly saying "by the way, lesbians exist" to be hilarious.

Everyone,

TL mistakenly thought 'les' word here is being 'lesbian' out of context, but after checking previous chapters (ch 11.1-2), it's 'sexless', which is a common societal issues within married couple stratum, especially in Japan nowadays.

Additionally, les is more frequently refer to the word lesbian compared to the word sexless

both are referred by using the same phoneme 'les'

We are now trying to fix the issue.

We're apologising for the inconvenience

I hope I'm not the only one who found this chapter borderline incomprehensible.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.
