Yofukashi no Uta - Ch. 158 - In The End

[DjAlexDubCheck]

I really liked the series in the beginning, but now I just want it to end lol. It just keeps dragging on for no reason. The story could have ended by now. I just don't hope they pull some kind of Twilight here lol.

The plot was simple:
Kou needs to fall in love with Nazuna-chan in one year to be able to become a vampire. Then Nazuna falls in love with Kou.

Then the plot got overly complicated with Nazuna being born as a vampire and Kou suddenly being a half vampire. Then the whole Detective stuff and now the Kiku and Kous friend situation.

Like why make the plot so...complicated for no reason? You could just had Nazuna and Kou slowly fall in love without all that complicated stuff and it would have be fine.

My feelings exactly. It didn't really need to have all that drama

I know right. I bet everything will be solved due the power of love,knowing the author. I feel like the manga will end after this arc.
Though, I don't see how: is there still a point of Nazuna turning Kou into a vampire? Since he is a half-vampire already?

It starts with one

Looool. I bet she won't even die lol. They will miraculously find a solution to save her.

Really hoping it doesn't, I'd love to see Nazuna and Kou's relationship progress

I mean what is there still to progress? It feels good like it is right now. Unless the one year is ending soon, I don't see them really changing soon.

I already made that reference

My response:

No, but I seriously expect a happy ending for everyone,without much consequences.

I am just very mixed on Kiku and her actions. She will never be my favorite person.

 

[asspussy]

Try impregnating her, maybe she won't want to die when she has a child to raise lol

I mean Tonikaku Scans(who have been doing this series for almost 4 years now)' version of the previous chapter only having like 5 comments because some rando put the chapter up a day before. So all of the discussion is happening there instead. This chapter has like 37 comments already and Tonikaku doesn't even have theirs up yet. I know some people don't care about quality or this kind of thing as long as they get the chapter ASAP, and I'm not saying these translations are bad, but when a group has been doing a series regularly and for a long time, I think it's good etiquette to not snipe them like this. Other folks have commented this as well.

Spoiler: tl;dr I'm absolutely for scanlation polypoly.

Like most people here, I have a perfunctory understanding of Japanese, and have no easy access to the raws-- which is why I am at the mercy of English scanlators to translate manga. I can only curse my inability.

English scanlators are a diverse bunch-- some people really care about what they're doing. Some people try in earnest, despite their inability.

Some people just shitpost.

Far too many shitpost, actually-- shitposting is a big issue in English localization (it's become obvious in the past few years), amateur OR "pro". Sometimes it's obvious that someone's messing around. Sometimes it's not nearly as obvious, and they get away with screwing up a translation subtly but nevertheless completely distorting the perception of a work. And I'll never even suspect anything if the only person who bothered to scanlate a work is such a shitposter, since I'm at the mercy of English scanlators to translate manga. Again, I can only curse my inability.

Clearly, Tonikaku isn't such a scanlator. And this other group (who HAS done a couple chapters in the past) probably also isn't. But generally, as someone who's in a position such as mine until he can make time to learn Japanese? I welcome multiple English scanlators for a work. It's very well possible that all given English scanlations for a work can be deficient-- either unintentionally or by malice. Still, it's more likely that having multiple translations to look at will help me triangulate what's the author meant to communicate (or, better sus out shitposting/maliciously inaccurate translations).

That, and different groups have different translation/localization methodologies that aren't necessarily or substantially more correct than the other. I reckon that's worth seeing.

Like why make the plot so...complicated for no reason? You could just had Nazuna and Kou slowly fall in love without all that complicated stuff and it would have be fine.

"You could have just made an entirely different story, and it would have been fine."

Yeah, I bet it would have been "fine".

What it wouldn't be, is "Call of the Night".

That is also true. I guess I worded it differently, what I meant is that despite it being a good story it just got kinda complicated for no reason.

But that is just my opinion. I guess you and me differ in that point of view, which is fine. That is why we discuss these things. No hard feelings at all.

I just think Kiku is a character I don't really like and she creates unnecessary drama. She doesn't care about her offsprings,destroys families, wants to be human and die & then suddenly wants to be human and have a family.

I have zero sympathy for her. She sounds like a brat who doesn't know what she wants.

I just hope we get some kind of decent conclusion for the Kou's friend.
