Man, every group wants to translate a piece of this pie. Meanwhile, I just know the author from their doujins.

 

[Bayaya]

bitches and whore: the manga

 

[Mhmmdalfaridzi]

wtf🤣

 

[animepig]

Bruh everyone is gunning for this series. Scan groups know what brings in the clicks

 

[Rinji]

Thanks! Glancing at all the releases, this TL is the most coherent and sensible. Please keep up the good work!

 

[Wubd]

This will be my third time reading the same chapter but this TL makes the most sense out of the three. Please keep on the good work!

 

[DarknessAssassin]

Thanks Brother @Wubd @Rinji Were still improving as a group 😁

@DarknessAssassin
Comparing the tl's, this one wins, just curious though, both other group uses ko-chan and nagi-chan. Why making it reverse, is it something like paisen? I haven't check the raw so I'm not sure.

@DarknessAssassin

Wow lots to compare.

I like the attempt to gal the character names when said by the gyaru bitch.

I have no idea if the magazine is going 18+ or she is being "graduated", as in fired/resigning/retired from the magazine. This tl and Slayer Scans say 18+ but Squiggles coalition says graduating.

Mistress fits better than lovers imo. Lovers people generally think of a single couple. With mistresses, it's usually associated with kept women who are not a legal wife.

Concubine would be an even more accurate term for a member of a harem but most people would think of king's and emperor's concubines.

Instead of "prostitute", "bitch" fits better, or "whore".

I think in Japanese, "bitch" is used in place of "slut", as in "a bitch in heat". "Prostitute" is normally used to describe the sex worker, not as a deragotary term, "whore" or "slut" fit better.

"She's just a cheap prostitute."

"She's just a cheap bitch."

"She's just a cheap slut."

"She's just a cheap whore."

 

[Siegna]

this TL clicks better in my head.

thanks for the chapter

 

[DarknessAssassin]

Thanks Brother @ak0ztik We will keep improving as a group and Brother @SunSun Thanks I'll take notes about it because I'm a not big fan to steal people lines like that like that 😁

 

[Typhoon-_]

This one by far is the best TL that makes sense and not confusing. Thanks for the TL!

 

[DarknessAssassin]

No Problem Brother @Typhoon Were still improving it 😁

 

[Laxius]

This'll be one hell of a journey.

 

[ShionSinX]

Since when is Akatsuki scans doing Alcafus (credits page)? There were 3 different groups working on it, none is doing right now (completed manga but no chapter released in the past 7 months) and none of them was Akatsuki.

 

[DarknessAssassin]

Because Sundome Milky Way was License by Seven Seas (basically force dropped) Brother @ShionSinX so this is a replacement 😁

 

[ShionSinX]

@DarknessAssassin I mean, if Akatsuki never released even a single chapter for it and "dropped", why its on the credits page? Gave me false hopes

 

[DarknessAssassin]

Because we dont have much typesetters and translators so our fault is advanced Brother @ShionSinX 😅

 

[Arin-san]

Ok so the MC isn't completely stupid. Good to know. But if he was this slick then he should've acted like that in the first place. Why did he get so flustered like a loser and then suddenly do a 180?
