Yotaka Futatabi - Ch. 9 - Enemies

[Mandobard]

Feels like she’s gonna wind up getting them to poison each other

 

[morganstedmanms]

I'm ngl while I'm not able to read JP myself, people calling the 'cock' part as mistranslation is giving off that one Kill La Kill 'date' guy meme vibes

She has such a way with words

 

[FeralFunicular]

Nah those bluds gon end up carrying all of nighthawk's debt, bet

 

[Doomroar]

Why would you waste our time drawing a bunch of pages with 7 no name jobbers, instead of giving us more girl failure fanservice, author do you want to get your series canceled by driving your readers away?

 

[desuzarasu]

I'm imagining a scenario where the group comradery is just a front, and they all end up taking each other out thinking it was the nighthawk.

the 7 dose of poison foreshadows this IMO, guess we'll know how this team will end up.

 

[Skater901]

Surprised the assassins aren't betraying each other for the kill. I guess there's still time.

 

[Cordonblue]

Since they're talking horse racing, 1-20 odds at least one of them gets the poison trying to drug Nighthawk.

I took it as cocktails as we know she loves beers and strongs are cheap as fuck over there. I don't have raw scans so we can only believe that the translators wrote it like this on purpose.

TLs, let us know lmfao

yeah it was cutoff so i also assumed it was meant to be cocktails

...Guys, the manga was written in Japanese. She's not being cut off saying "Cockfighting" or "Cocktails" or "Coca-Cola".

Here's the JP raw, where you can see she says ちんぽ (chinpo = penis) before changing it to さんぽ (sanpo = walk).

it's a nice coincidence that the rhyme can be preserved in English!

 

[goodknife]

you know what would be interesting?

they seen yotaka wiped one or two then flee for a new plan

or so i hope they're not brainless or have stupid pride :v

 

[pachingching]

weird. I think mr bear joined the hunt only to have round 2 match and then become friend.

bet he's still alive.

That the poison was weak or he has a tolerance and faked dying?
Good odds, especially since it allows him to fuck up their plan for his round 2.

that'd be boring shonen tropes, i hope he stays dead..

 

[huntercheco]

7 ambulances, got it

 

[flame_phantasm]

I can forgive the serial contract killing, I can’t believe my hot hag is promiscuous and not just a repressed gooner. Totally ruined

 

[Eighty-six]

Out for cock-? maybe Coca cola or Coke instead? because kinda wild to say that out of the blue, specially considering she would need to pay them

Yeah, i think she was talking about getting a drink too, something about her lifestyle tells me she doesn't think about these types of things, too much trouble and she's a lazy slob.

she was already drinking a Dr. Pepper-- also, even if she was trying to say "Coca-Cola" in a Japanese way, every casual word for "penis" in Japanese starts with the phoneme "chi", not "ko"
it's time to face reality-- our (your (our?)) girlfailure waifu was randomly trawling the benighted streets for d i c k

tokuryû kids

gotta love the new google search. cause clearly that's what you're talking about /s

You never betray someone until AFTER their part is done. Don't want to be left holding the bag for their part and yours.

 

[KimKowabunga]

I went and bough the raws because the "I went out for some cock" thing seemed fishy to me.

Turns out the whole "I was out for some cock" part is weirdly translated, she just replies "CHINPO" (PENIS) to him asking if she's ok, likely as a non-sequitor. Or am I missing some context here?
She also doesn't talk about "acting skills" but about her full-body-and-soul dogeza (that we've seen in the last chapter).
Dunno if the implication here is that she fucked her landlord, but I kinda dont think that's the case.
