Zense wa Reikoku Koutei, Konse wa Youjo - Ch. 3 - The Emperor's Smile

[Ironclad]

That was the only bad page that took me out of the story. The rest reads naturally. Well, except the missed panels of course. You improved a lot as you progressed through the chapter.

Regarding the commentary page, "finally" was in reference to Juliana assuming Michelle was Claude's "bed companion." We can assume she was dreaming about it. Sorry I can't give any advice on photoediting. I do appreciate that you're leaving notes in a commentary page to not distract from the chapter, but if you can't clean the original text or a text bubble would completely cover the panel, then it's ok to put your translation in the page bleeds (white space). That's still preferable to jumping back and forth between the commentary page and the translated panels.

Forgot about this manga's existence.

Did not know there was a page 2 lol, anyways yes I was thinking of putting a white speech bubble and then putting the text but was not sure if that would be alright

The two translations of this being barely readable in completely different ways is really funny. Reading both at the same time does help and this one is at a conveniet place with no paywall, so I'll wait for your releases.

Thank you

I want a reverse version of this story where a cute girl gets reincarnated into a super scary evil ass faced guy.

For the gray chatbox, if you use Photoshop, use the stamp tool.

re: "finally" I'm not sure if the raw you were looking at was different, but in the one I saw Julie is asking Claude if Michelle is Claude's pet (ペット), and she just repeats what is said (i.e. saying "what!?").



Also, imo, on page 5 Julie is saying that Claude got the special request, which is why he couldn't come with them (though the Japanese is vague).

Finally, following up on what Ironclad said about adding the translation to the page instead of on the TL notes (e.g. for pg18) - if you're using photoshop there's an effect called "stroke" that will add a colored outline.


Used to get results like this:


If you're using an editor other than photoshop they probably(?) have a similar tool to achieve the result. I apologize if the advice was unwarranted though! Anyway, thank you for picking the series up. Hopefully you (and all the readers) enjoy it!

Thanks for picking this up

Thank you for picking this up! I'll be looking forward to see more of this!

The translation does need a bit of work to flow right, and it’s best to translate everything, even outside of speech bubbles.

That said, glad this is back, and looking forward to how you proceed.

As someone else said, you need to translate everything, including dialogue not in bubbles, sfx, and so on. If you can't clean and redraw the original text, then put the translation next to it or in the margins. Nothing should be left untranslated, and it doesn't do much good to put it all at the bottom, since when people get to it, they've already read the chapter.
