Thanks for the translation. Even if I didn't mind starting over from scratch, there's also something nice about getting to see new chapters of the story as well.

@AndalindaV I'm actually pleasantly surprised at the amount of support in the comments, and I'm always open to criticism. (Usually.)

In retrospect, I understand what people are saying about the over-diversity of fonts in the chapter. In order of appearance, I used: Calibri, Action Man, laCartoonerie, Wurmics Bravo, Broken, Teko, Kalam, Medrano, Chinacat, Itim, and Set Fire to the Rain, so the complaints are justified, considering JB used 2-3 in any given chapter.

Thanks for the chapter! Your translations are a lot more coherent to me and the conversations flow better than the previous version I read (I think it was JB's?).

For what it's worth, I didn't notice the fonts. It all looked fine to me.

And the dialogue made more sense than in JB's version.

Thank you for the chapter. I thought the dialogue was much better in your translation. I am of the camp that had no issues with the various fonts, I think they are another way to set the tone of the conversation among other things.

That ending didn't make sense in the previous translation which had her ask "Did I look weird" and the girl asks "To who". In this version it's "Did he notice?" which makes the girls following similar response of "Who?" make alot more sense to me.

I noticed the different fonts but besides when the suited boyos started talking it didn't bother me in the slightest. Even so, the dialogue to me sounds a lot better. I'm just glad this translation is still up and rolling throiugh. Thanks a ton.

It's nice to see this here again. I really like this series. There are some points of word useage that I agree with more on this variant than the other, but that's me being a native speaker as well as having spec'd into literacy. XD
I will probably keep reading this on JB's site. Partly because of backlog in case I want to go over them again, partly because their translations tend to be closer to intent in Korean.
I appreciate the work they've put in to scanlating everything, and am admittedly a bit frustrated and disappointed in just how many things I started reading on MD being pulled. It sucks for those like me, who were starting to look forward to the releases here, but it's out of my hands and I don't have the emotional energy to get worked up about it when there's so many things that I need to be legitimately angry about.
@truepurple, I understand the strangeness of the last few lines. I attribute it to the layered meaning that language has. It's likely the actual word choice was a mix of the two, say, asking if they looked weird, but in a way that implied specificity towards a person and not just a general statement. This is the ever-present dilemma of translating not just a different language, but one where the syntax is both different than what we're used to and how the words are intended to fit together. ^,^

Wow, seems like the translation of certain words are better used here than the previous one. Either way, I'm still waiting for JB to continue this work... If they do continue, I will read it from their site, else I will just wait for a new translator group to pick it up here...
