Thank you for the chapter.

The translation's fine, but the bit about the pulse cannon definitely needs editing by someone who knows how a laser works.

 

[thegoatrider]

damn that first page is definitely screensaver worthy. Thanks for the scans

 

[Beregorn]

@cryum I wonder whether the problem is the original or the translation. In any case, the description is surprisingly accurate, for a sci-fi manga...

 

[cryum]

@Beregorn if you replace singular words with more appropriate ones, it would make sense, so I'm leaning on translation.

Great moss art in the colour page.

In 20 years the colony will be submerged, what to do?
a) Search for a new place with all the time of this world.
b) Die.
What a shitty boss.... and probably he would be death by old age in that time...

 

[Simpleton]

@Akikako Just say "moving [changing stuff] would hurt the economy" and you got todays world.. (And same here - old folks in decisive positions will likely be dead before it gets horribad).

 

[Akikako]

@Simpleton er... no? It's not the same of "electric cars VS classic cars", it's not a new point of views VS old point of views, it's not the case neither that they don't have time for plan a move of the colony, they have 20 fricking years! The boss doesn't have no motive to don't try to plan something or delegate someone to do it....

 

[Simpleton]

@Akikako I hesitate to bring real world politics into the discussion, but global warming was observed as a problem for 60 years ago (when oil companies had to start altering their rig designs to accommodate for thinning icesheets), and it's just become more and more obvious for everyone ever since - yet there's still a lot of "old bosses" who prefer to ignore the problem rather than try to invest some effort into it.
(It doesn't even matter if it is man-made or not - we need to invest a lot in adapting if we want to mitigate the effects.)

As for the manga: Once the colony has only five years left, then most of those people will suddenly realize that "certain death" (of staying in the colony) suddenly looks a lot less fun than "probable death" (look for new colony), and by the time there's about six months left, those who are still alive will probably try to do something. But with twenty years left.. well, everyone willing to think that far ahead has already moved. What you have left in the colony are those who would rather look away from the truth, making up whatever excuse they can just to pretend that life goes on as normal and that there is no need to change.
