The Catchphrase Is "Particularly" - Oneshot

[MangaDex]

 

[feha]

Either it doesnt fit the convos in jp too, or the translation doesnt particularly catch the meaning.

I don't want that mask

 

[TypoCM]

That doesn't make sense. "Particularly" isn't as *particularly* ubiquitous as that.

 

[gouder]

Is this one of those things that doesn't have an exact equivalent in English?

 

[tianpeng]

i somehow didnt get the story, anyone might give me a quick explaination? By the way how the speech balloons are positioned is also really confusing lol

 

[SightWarden]

I dunno, i thought it was like those middle schooler disease (chunni or something) and she is trying to make "particularly"- which likely has a way if saying it in Japanese that feels less like a mouthful- her catchphrase

 

[airy77]

it'll be better to translate particulary to "Not really"

Anyway the gist of the story is the boy like to say "not really" that it became like his catchphrase

On page 3 the girl tried to imitate him saying "not really"

the boy then rant about his friend said that he said "not really" too much

the boy then realized, and asked if the girl is disgusted(or more like taken aback) by his rant

then the girl said "no-not really"

whatever

@tianpeng
It's about the boy suddenly using "particularly" and then realising subconsciously got it from her

I don't know what else could be translated from 「特には」

 

[justforthelulz]

'Particularly' no longer looks like a real word to me.

 

[Hollow7F]

he fucked up, not clarifying he didnt find it particularly bad

@airy77 thanks

Five years later, but here's an alternate translation. Empty lines between panels. I'm not going to typeset this.

The guy is copying how the girl talks, like slime sleeper said (not the other way around like airy77 said).

"Not really" is reasonable for the phrase that gets used repeatedly, but I do think "not particularly" is better because it's more stiff and less casual.

Shun: Hey, Haneda... tests start next week, so isn't it bad if you're here painting?

Haneda: Not particularly...
Shun: Really? You've at least got some subjects you're bad at, right?

Haneda: ...
Haneda: ...not particularly.

Shun: Oh...
Shun: What was with that pause?

...
Shun: Ah, right.

Shun: I just realized today that it seems I caught your verbal habit... I even said it in front of my friends.
Shun: Your "not particularly..."

Shun: Crap, that gave her the ick.

Shun: Sorry, you probably hate that, right?
