It's back, baby.
About "Hell is other people": It's a very misunderstood quote and it's easy to think that it just means having to interact with people will invariably being misanthrope. Satre's original intention with the quote is actually what the chapter is about: hell is judgment from other people.
"Hell is other people" — because of how we are unable to escape the watchful gaze of everyone around us. "
. . .“hell is other people” has always been misunderstood. It has been thought that what I meant by that was that our relations with other people are always poisoned, that they are invariably hellish relations. But what I really mean is something totally different. I mean that if relations with someone else are twisted, vitiated, then that other person can only be hell. Why? Because. . . when we think about ourselves, when we try to know ourselves, . . . we use the knowledge of us which other people already have. We judge ourselves with the means other people have and have given us for judging ourselves. Into whatever I say about myself someone else’s judgment always enters. Into whatever I feel within myself someone else’s judgment enters. . . . But that does not at all mean that one cannot have relations with other people. It simply brings out the capital importance of all other people for each one of us. "
TL;DR: pretty much this chapter about judging others

Really excited for this, thanks for translating. Keep up the good work, and don't push yourself.

I missed this so much. It's been so long that I forgot what voice I gave Takayanagi in my head.
His new batch of students is already proving to be quite the rowdy bunch. Hopefully none of them gets nearly molested by some sort of crime lord this time around, though.
