I really appreciate you picking up "With her who likes my sister" and the really fast uploads! Seriously wouldn't have thought it was your first translation project if you hadn't said it, it's really impressive!

I thought the manga had ended so I'm really happy to see it hasn't, haha

So I have been self studying Japanese and I was wondering how you learned the language? There is a lot of self study material and I have access to some of it, though if you don't mind I'd appreciate your recommendation.

So I have been self studying Japanese and I was wondering how you learned the language? There is a lot of self study material and I have access to some of it, though if you don't mind I'd appreciate your recommendation.

I've found that the genki elementary japanese textbooks were pretty good to start off and build a base, but take that with a grain of salt as I didn't really try any other textbooks lol. Though aside from the textbook I think as a first step it's best to become 100% familiar with hiragana and katakana and some basic particles (は, が, と, etc).

After that I've just been consuming a ton of japanese content (preferably with subtitles) and just immersing yourself in it while actively paying attention to the structure of it. I've also been using flash
cards on an app called shirabe jisho every day to go through like ~20 kanji everyday.

It's currently been a year since I've started learning the language and I think I can understand a good chunk of spoken japanese, but I've actually been to japan to visit cousins and speaking is a whole other beast lol.

in the end it just takes a lot of time and using a variety of material (imo). It might be tedious but it feels super rewarding, especially when you can start to understand japanese without subtitles in anime and stuff like that. I might not be the best person to ask about this in the first place but there's my 2 cents if you want it - good luck!

I appreciate the well thought out response, so thank you. I'm using Rosetta Stone as of right now with a japanese workbook similar to genki suggested to me by a multilingual friend so based on the opinions I've gathered from other helpful people and yours it seems like I have the resources. You're right about it being tedious, though I am seeing some results so fingers crossed for my future!

Thanks!

I was wondering how you'd feel about translating the rest of the light novel Arioto (AKA A Yuri story about a girl who insists "It's impossible for two girls to get together" completely falling within 100 days")

Long title, I know. hence Arioto. Anyway the LN has been translated up to about volume 3, there are 5 volumes out at the moment as far as I know. There's a manga that is almost complete based on the light novel but that ends at volume 3, I do know there are quite a few people who were bummed out when the TL had to drop the translation due to difficulty at uni. It's written by the same author as Watanare.

Anyway, here's a link to the manga. https://dynasty-scans.com/series/a_...t_together_completely_falling_within_100_days

I love the translations and I appreciate your recent translations for both of the works you have done so far, thank you!! I would like to recommend a manga to you called Ayaka-chan wa Hiroko-senpai ni Koishiteru, that seems to only be officially translated up to chapter 7. Thank you for your translations up to this point!

Zeztie, thank you so much for your work! I love them all 🧡

Maybe you would love to look into Tokubetsu na Chuutohanpa. It already has 50 chapters on pixiv. Would love it if you can work on it. It has a good sweet story 🧡

Anyway, truly love your work! Thank you!
