@YaboiYokai Dunno. I'll do it if the urge strikes me, but the amount of text in the chapters keeps growing so it keeps me busy enough. My main goal is just to translate all four volumes.
@Ira_Acedia Woah, now I'm interested in the light novel. Your example also makes me think it might be less about missing things and more of a "We don't have the budget. We'll do a flashback if we need it.".
Good point, nice knowledge drop.
@sora_L_doomsday Foreshadowing it earlier is easy if the author's thought ahead. It could be included in one of the many, many times that I believe the Paladin's prowess was hyped up during the story. Slipping it in with some other advantages/powers would make it innocuous, and honestly, I'm...
@Mindself Why do you hurt me like this? I thought I'd forgotten.
Only good thing about this chapter was the Dad making a hilarious first appearance. Everything else was suffering. 😭
@Marchimarch My point was more along the fact that it's an ability that we had no way of knowing about, and upon introducing it in literally the first page of the chapter, it's used to solve a conflict.
I get what you mean by the years of grueling training -- she actually mentions this fact...
I'm laughing for the guy who commented last chapter about the beauty of no shounen power-ups. The author couldn't help themselves apparently.
Lmao. They put it on the first page too. It's like a direct response to that comment. I was agreeing with it too!
@Uthred Thanks for mentioning that. I replaced it with a quick translation of Volume one's official description off Bookwalker. I'm not sure where the previous one came from, but at the very least, this version is shorter.
I finished the chapter then thought "Wait, that's it?". Then I thought "Wait, that's it." and broke into a smile.
10/10. Sometimes no drama is best drama.
Haha, I love this new character. She's very opinionated.
Favorite part has to be the fact she thinks he's stoned. "Junkie" "This guy's stoned." lmao, gets me every time.
Haha, so many great moments this chapter. MC teaching the trial and freaking out, the reveal of the MC's painting(pretty cool), Komae's outburst(nice font btw), and then ending it all with the "wtf is this guy talking about and god would that be a pain to TL" followed by the deadpan "I didn't...
I guffawed at the teacher just zapping her in plain sight. Was still laughing at his hastily assembled harem too.
Anyways, since we're in volume 2, when does the story start? Doesn't MC have some secret mission? I vaguely getting that vibe.
I like the characters, but it feels like the manga's lacking something right now. Idk. Some kind of pressing concern? A larger overarching plot?
Still looking forward to the next chapters though.
I discovered I had half of my original/first pass translation in source control, so I slapped it in. It's not heavily edited/typeset, but hopefully it's easier to read/understand.
You can @ me anything super jarring, and I'll fix it... if it's easy enough.
Ah, the old ice cream into -- Wait! I've never seen this technique! Amazing! Did you see the tears->ice cream-> hug combo?! This MC is the transcendental shounen protaognist! How does he do it?! Amazing!
I feel like I've committed a crime using so many exclamation points, but yeah, that was my...
The "I'd like a little praise" got me, haha. Nice build-up from tugging, glancing, to full praise me eyes. 10/10 would have given cake.
Not to mention the delicious looking ice cream cake blurb. This is one of the few series where I don't mind blocks of information because it always makes them...
