Watashi no Musuko ga Isekai Tensei Shitappoi - Full ver. - Vol. 5 Ch. 37 - I'll Be Back.

[Orenoname]

I know it would've been a pain to clean and typeset but I really enjoyed the first page of Taiga learning to write his name, both as a passage of time, and him growing "Big and Strong" like his namesake.

Thank you for the new chapter.

Talking about isekai genre... I hope people watch the Magic Knight Rayearth remake (Episode 01 to be released on October-07) to compare the old isekai core idea ("we will fight to return to our own world because that's were the people we love is") vs the core of "modern" isekai ("we are glad we died because our own world was shitt and all people there hate us/we hate everyone")

Now that I think about it, the only recent "isekai" that I remember the MC wants to return to his own world is LOST END .

The strongest job is an appraiser has the MC want to go home

The whole time i thought Taiga was this kid that was anti social and recluse or something, but he's actually a good kid that wants to do something for his future, inspired by hismom. Mio is also a very supportive mom, no wonder she's so crushed by Taiga's death.

This manga hits so hard.

That lost potential of who they could be, what they could've become, what they would've said to you...what they loved and hated..

God this author knows how to pinch you right in the gut with it.

In some ways this series feels like the inverted perspective of a series like Ikoku Nikki, which is an absurdly beautiful, tender, thoughtful and devastating story of a 15 yo girl witnessing the deaths of both of her parents, to them being adopted by her author aunt she never knew who hated her mother.

And the acknowledgement that her wounds are her own, and we live and die, in our internal worlds alone, but it doesn't mean we have to BE alone.

She had similar thoughts to Mio, of this tangled web of who they were intersecting into who she was, if she would be the same as her parents, if her dad'sack of interest in the world would carry down into her. Though she had the upside of much much more loving support in her life in comparison to Mio.

Mio, like I still I need to read the rest of this story, but I'm grateful to the author for giving her someone who is kind in their support of her. Even when he's telling her what she can't face on her own, even when he's physically stopping her from going through with the worst outcome possible.

He's kind and thoughtful in the ways a grieving person needs, and importantly he's treating her respectfully and, though I didn't see the way her husband treated her, it seems that respect in a relationship with another adult has been absent from her life for a very long time.

Thank you for the tl, I really enjoy reading your thoughts at the end.

Nanahoshi is not MC (nor MC) but she does want to get back.

About contributing to piracy, if amazon allowed me to buy japanese mangá I would already have the complete collection.

Maybe the real reincarnation was the tears we shed along the way

 

[McGayveR80]

But I can at least say I take this very serously.

@occu and be sure we really love you for that

 

[yarrayora]

"mom you go home by yourself" also made me go "oh. fuck" so you did a good job with the translation

 

[Ditte]

I wonder if it would've been good to be translated as "I'm off" coz.. eep, well he wasn't coming back. But maybe that's too much artistic license..

Oh, man. If you watch Makoto Shinkai's Suzume, the "Ittekimasu" scene is my most favorite's scene. And when I know that ittekimasu's meaning is more closer to "I'm off, and I'll be back", than just a casual "I'm going out", that particular scene is engraved forever to my heart.

And it's really heart breaking, because it shows how fragile our world is. We thought that we'll go out (itte) for a bit, and SURELY we'll be back (kimasu). Back to home, to where mom is, to talk about the future plan, to read next chapter of the isekai novel, to talk about it with online friends.

Rather than a back-shadowing farewell with "I'm off", the "I'll be back" conveys a more painful story. It was a broken "promise", a broken "future". So, I really like the choice occu took here.
