Roman definitely has the personality (I mean, she's supposed to be annoying), but Kiba just seems way too honest (except for the usual tsundere stuff)... I suspect Roman just wheedled her into doing it.I like the two new girls designs, they're cute. I don't like that they made them influencers, it makes it hard for me to like them as characters. I've always found those types of people insufferable.
Your thoroughness is always stellar and we are all grateful someone like you is working on this series 💙See, I knew Kiba was a good girl. Roman is still kinda skeezy, but less .
More TL Notes for anyone who actually cares enough to read the comments:
- Roman switched from using tons of social media slang last chapter (she still uses some) to just drawwwwwing herrrr worrrrrds ouuuuuut. If you noticed that and thought it was annoying, this was real.
- So is Kiba a mermaid or half mermaid or what? Well... it depends. She is '半魚人' which is very clearly 'half fish person' and none of the other characters have that half (半) on their genjin type. And I know I did a big comment about this for last chapter. Except... it turns out that if you go back and look at some really old youkai stuff, which I did, 半魚人 can refer to half merman or... just a merman! This is not a reading I knew about. It's listed in some dictionaries as 'merman (obscure)'. So anyhow, I'm going with just 'mermaid' for now because:
- She doesn't look any more or less human than the other genjin, so no reason to think half.
- If we put 'half-mermaid' and she's not then it is wrong.
- If we use 'mermaid' that's correct whether she's full mermaid or half mermaid.
- So for the principle of least harm I'm going with just 'mermaid' for now until we learn otherwise. Sorry for any confusion!

That's part of what bugs me about it. A hyper competitive, slightly tsundere, tomboy, fish girl should be right up my alley but the phone/social media addition just kills it even if someone else pushed it on her.Roman definitely has the personality (I mean, she's supposed to be annoying), but Kiba just seems way too honest (except for the usual tsundere stuff)...

Thank you! I am not a native speaker, but get along just fine in Japan when I'm there. TBH, speaking is much easier than learning all the freaking kanji. I do know our translations are much better than MTL just because sometimes after I've translated some bits I go 'You know I bet MTL would just choke on this' and purely for my own ego/amusement run it through and laugh at the results. It has a particularly hard time with Roman. This is why I take stuff like the mermaid/half mermaid thing super seriously - I wanna do this right, and even if nobody reading would notice, we all love Tsumiki and want you to have the best Tsumiki so I agonize about it and I super apologize for anything I was ignorant about.Your thoroughness is always stellar and we are all grateful someone like you is working on this series 💙
