its avg rating is being kind...
I am picking up the series, im new to the whole translation game, and this is my first series, Ch23.3 is done and im just waiting on mangadex to approveCan somebody pick this up again? It's getting an anime sometime this year.
also sorry in advance im having some issues with the translations so it may be a bit wonky for the momentI am picking up the series, im new to the whole translation game, and this is my first series, Ch23.3 is done and im just waiting on mangadex to approve
Ive found that scanning sucks so im hand transcribing all the text and then translating a best i can with the aid of DeepL and im redrawing the parts of the weird transperant speach boxes that the text covered so theres not just random white spaces so it takes a bit im going to try for 1-2 parts per week
No wonder this manga is 5 rating, the manga itself is weird.
And last, i fully agree with @IShallReadTheHeavens and @grim5000 review
Wow, i've never read something so trash and garbage like this story before. Now i could tell my grandchild that i've stumbled to some dumpster fire in my life.
This manga may be trash but im a RaccoonI've defended a number of mid and even bad stories before but I really don't think this one deserves any defending. For anyone asking how it got an anime when it's like this, the answer is that they rewrote a bunch of it. So I guess I'll be curious how much they actually kept.
Half the time it feels like the audience is being kept in the dark for no reason. My theory is the author simply forgets to explain things and then operates as though they've explained it. They very blatantly choose to not explain things at times though and it really just comes off as they couldn't be bothered. So most of this just jumps from scene to scene with each event being barely connected to the events that came before or after it. The continuity hangs on by a thread.
I think the thing that sours me most about this approach is that it keeps trying to have these serious moments that other stories spend a lot of time setting up so when they deliver it feels like a nice payoff. But without a proper buildup it's just like .... okay? If you just randomly blurt out these weighty statements in a vacuum there's not really any positive way to react to it.
In short, the biggest thing I think missing here is actual development. Everything just sort of happens arbitrarily and tries to act like it's part of some plan we just never see. It gets harder and harder to believe in the plan when the payoffs never land.
