[Ironclad]

I hope the mannequin sticks around.

Oh, a normal girl through and trough, that's rare... Yeah, I know it's not the first time, but she is so normal I've forgotten about her xD

 

[Liar]

Huh? Was there really a schedule slip? It felt like there was just a small break for a few weeks.

It's a weekly manga, after all.

I see lots of hits for "drag me to hell", but not so much for "drop". Top ten results from google when enclosed in quotes reveal one song and one book (neither of which are authoritative, much less good sources), so I'm really not sure where "several" comes from.

> phrasing in question
"Drop [someone] to hell" isn't a common turn of phrase in American or British English, and smells of a literal translation (usually 地獄に落とす, which is literally "to drop someone/something into hell"). You'll more commonly hear "send [someone] to hell" or "[someone]'s going to hell" in contexts like you see here. It's hard to explain why precisely "drop into hell" sounds awkward, but (anecdotal evidence warning) having lived here in 'Murica all my life, it just isn't something you'd typically hear a native speaker of English say. The Japanese use 落とす because Hell (with a capital H) is "that place down there" and the important bit to them is the explicit downward motion ('cause lore says that's the general direction to go if you're bound for Hell). In the English-speaking world, the downward motion's implied, as with go. "Send" has that little extra attached to it, in that someone else is dragging down the poor soul.

I'm sorry for the stupidly lengthy explanation. Words fascinate me, sometimes.

However, there is one phrase you missed.

To cast someone into Hell. Or "cast someone down to Hell", depending on translation. "Cast" has the implication of "throwing down a hole/well etc". Mostly used in Biblical context.

she just diapered in the beginning from he story that i wondered if the author just scraped what ever plans they had for her and gave up on her. was curious what was going to happen to.

@JulesMFinWinnfield
I understand where you're coming from with that. Trust me, I've considered altering it when I first got the script. I only decided to leave it be considering the context being used, as he's clearly shown to be dropping her into Hell, rather than dragging or pulling her down with him. Yes, it's still not exactly a common phrase we use, though I think it's pretty passable for this chapter.

Either way, there will be no "rapping on the wrists" for me. Heh.

Edit: @Abedeus yeah, that could have also worked had I thought of it at the time. Oh well.

@JulesMFinWinnfield
From personal observation over the months, it's mostly a specific noisy minority who do it and whine incessantly if they don't feel a given manga's release rate is fast enough of them, right up until the translator quietly gives up on the series and both of them move onto something else.

For example there's a guy whose name I won't mention whose avatar is a predator mask lit up in a dark room, all he does in the vast majority of posts he makes is trash talking the group / translator of whatever series he's reading. Even if it's a release he's not going to read, he goes out of his way to make it known how much of a piece of shit he thinks the translator is. Kind of amazing how much vitriol that one man has.

 

[JulesMFinWinnfield]

@Abedeus That would've been really good from the fortune teller, yeah. Right feel for that.

@Greg_no_Gregory Agree to disagree, then. Just sounds weird. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Could be a me thing, known to happen!

 

[kaminomikan]

lol... why are you the one dying... that would be an epic end.

Wait, who the heck died?

 

[MTerra]

[Karamru]

Oh man this was great thanks again for the chapter looking forward to the next one.

[Monky]

Getting those sweet angel densetsu vibes

 

[rRemon]

Ah shit, it's ending. Oh well it was fun while it lasted, I just hope they give us a reasonable conclusion and not some dumb af open ending.

@GriseousGrime
A man of taste I see. I hope you win this week.

 

[maximuffin2]

Is it saying "Drop me to hell" or "Send me to hell"

 

[ReaperCreeper]

@RectorCaedo For a second I was wondering if I was forgetting something weird before I realised you meant to type disappeared.
