[nihaoma11]

thanks for the chapter

 

[nihaoma11]

Oh, I knew I recognized the art. It’s from the same author as Kareshi Tokidoki Kanojo. Well, I hope things go better for the author this time. It’s a shame that Kareshi Tokidoki Kanojo got axed.

Thanks for the chapter!

It didn’t get axed though. The author wrote on twitter that she chose to end it

This reads like MTL or some form of AI TL.

Because it is. You can clearly see that, when sentences suddenly are loosing meaning by dropping some crucial words. There are multiple examples of that in here. Add to the equation amateur typesetting, no redraws and complete lack of PR/QC and you get something like this, where the only "work" put into it, was to rewrite whatever AI threw into speech bubbles. And this guy has a nerve to ask money for that
Fortunately it's ultra weak manga and I'm pretty sure I won't be forced neither to read this nor to TL this myself.

What else author is supposed to write? "My publisher decided, that my work is not popular enough, so I have to end it within x amount of chapters". After statement like that, author can look for work as cashier in 711, not as manga artist anymore. Something like this is literally career suicide. Getting your manga axed tho, it's completely natural. Even biggest names get their story axed, look at Kishimoto with his work after Naruto or Akasaka with Renai Daikou.

I got a lot more passive these days, but I did realize what they did. Just didn’t feel like writing a paragraph like I would’ve vs low-effort scanlations in the past. Especially the patreon/ko-fi first release baiters.

Yeah came here to say this. Reading it makes my brain hurt.

There is no prove it is a career suicide as authors have came out and say that their series has gotten axed and still able to serialize. Etc the author of The teacher cannot teach me love tweeted that her series gotten axed, managed serialized another work.

Some series like love bullet were able to make a come back because the author announce that their series were on the chopping board and that rallied fans to support the series.

it is likely these authors did not got into trouble because they have gotten permission from their publisher to announce/ tweet.

For Boyfriend Sometimes Girlfriend ending is most likely due it been design as a limited run but the author wrote themselves into a box due to the premise.

Some authors and their series were design to be short. Depends on the popularity, they maybe allowed to continue publication.
Etc
1) glasses with a chance of delinquent was design to be 2 volume.
2) do you still swear still love me was initially planned for 4 volumes before extending to 8.
3) Futarijime Romantic designed to be 3 volumes and was Popular enough to have 2 bonus chapters with colour covers not found in volumes because it can be considered as one shot.

"working in the nightlife or water trade is banned by the succubus association"

I get nightlife as it stops them from being forced into those jobs and from others locked out of them. (though a better regulation would be to limit how many can be employed in ratio to other races)

But what is water trade? Another name for those soap places?
Doesn't seem logical to ban them from public works so it can't be that.

Thanks for the translation,

A few comments :

- Japanese is ordered differently than english. You can't just end sentences with the part that contains the verb. Even if the alternative means shuffling the content of the bubbles around.

- "By that person, that i'm special, i want to be thought of" not only is an extreme case of the above (not putting back the sentence in the right order), but you can just translate that as "i want him to think i'm special". English doesn't use the passive form to the extent Japanese does.

- You can't just translate japanese expressions word for word. I can understand why you would feel stuck translating "the Reiwa era" (which basically just means "nowadays" in context, they don't precisely mean "the period of time that started in 2019), but you can't translate 水商売 word for word. The average reader can't understand "water trade" unless they're already familiar with the japanese language. You can call that "adult entertainment" and convey most of the meaning.

I understand that not all translators are fluent english speakers, or that even when they are, they don't want to denature the work. But if you translate the words without fluently conveying the meaning, you are doing half of the translation. I hope that those few pointers will be helpful.

Well i guess my above post doubles as a short answer.

In more detail, it's basically entertainment, performance (as in performing a dance for example), alcohol and sex based services. Bars, restaurants, theaters, brothels, cabarets, sports based entertainment, etc. More modern ones include influencers, streamers, youtubers for example.

In the context of that specific billboard truck, you can look up "Vanilla car" if you're curious.

The answers from @Barro27 are excellent, and you can read a very polite description of the "water trade" here, but if I may clarify on a point of nuance:

While an academic or modern, neutral, and forward-looking definition of mizu shōbai might include actors or influencers or politicians or other jobs where the talent or product being sold is "your personality," if you just say in everyday conversation that "she's in mizu shōbai" then the person you're talking to will probably interpret that as "they work in nightlife selling (at minimum) sexiness or emotional intimacy, and aren't THAT far removed from prostitution and organized crime." Even if that's not true, it's kinda stigmatized.

This is…a lot more banal than i expected.
