What, no. Taiyo ni Hoero! (Roar at the Sun!) was a huge detective drama, one of the most popular Japanese television shows of all time. Not niche at all, just old.
The OST is also a banger, so it's no surprise it's being used as a ring tone. Also pretty sure this isn't the first time it's come up in the manga.
Taiyo ni Hoero! OP

Hah! Funnily me and my best friend started like that.... sometimes when you're very nearly alike, or very nearly completely different, it's like that. Thank you, brave friend deers, for so many translations now and ahead o777

Thank you for the hard work translating, but man, your translation QC really needs to step up. There's misplaced pronouns again.

First page: "If there's a guy that you can't stand" (Narrator isn't talking about himself, so it shouldn't say "I". Narrator usually starts the chapter talking to the readers.)
Page 2: "Koshimura-kun, you guys match". (the old guy is commenting on the two other guests wearing matching clothes, he is not including himself in this sentence because his clothes has a slightly different pattern)

I'm confused how this is constantly happening, guys. Like, isn't the translator working directly off the manga raw pages? Surely the context cues would be visible just by looking at the panels? I don't have the raws myself, I'm just correcting based on what is visible on the page.

Even after the QC pass I think the biggest factor as to why this mistake keeps happening is because of assumed context. My interpretation of the words, especially considering your previous feedback, was to always stay faithful to the original pronouns of the raw text unless it's obvious who he's referring to.

Still, you were on the mark since the original line is "なんとなくムシの好かない奴がいて", and I should've paid more attention to 奴がい if anything. Thanks a lot for the feedback, and I've already updated the chapter to revise the problems.

Yeah, I did to translation for a while, so I get that people sometimes slips up. Especially if there's a big workload and you just get tired and read things wrong. I don't want to be harsh since this is a volunteer effort. I just... don't understand why this is happening because it had looked so obvious to me.

Like let's say the translator stumbled and didn't notice the mistake, is your QC actually looking at the actual pages while checking? If they're only checking text-only dialogue in some kind of Word Doc, then that explains a lot. Errors like this feels more like the product of someone working off text-only script and not being able to see the pictures. It's not about what the original Japanese text says. I identified the incorrect pronouns just by looking at this scanlation and visual cues from the page.

Another example of this is in the gyoza chapter. The fan asked the actor something, but the one responding to him is the manager. Yet the dialogue says "I will be starring in a movie soon" or something to that effect. The dialogue should be saying "He" and not "I", because the manager isn't the one going to be in the movie. If you look at the page it's clear that the one talking here is the manager and not the actor, but if you only look at the text, it would be missed.
