A (slightly edited) preview of chapter 9!

I totally missed the volume 2 being released on February 14. It was even on auto-purchase. It'll be out soon.

@blackLuna My accusation was that Heidegger was an enthusiastic Nazi. It's borne out by the fact he was in fact a Nazi and that he espoused the very same doctrine, especially anti-Semitic ones, the National Socialist did. And you are completely wrong that most Germans had at one point joined...

@blackLuna How convenient for you to set the bar of Nazism at the truly monstrous level and marvel at how handily Heidegger passes under it. I assume you've read his private letters enthusiastically parroting the National Socialist doctrines? When a person had the stage, the audience, and, dare...

@blackLuna Heidegger was a Nazi, as in an actual card carrying member of the Nazi party. He espoused the same anti-Semitic views, quite forcefully in fact, and never made any apology for them. Many people can be afforded the luxury of silence even on controversial issues. But not Heidegger. He...

@Wolvenworks Lol, that's an incomplete thought in the source also. It says "...Wu-nya-san mo Sephate ga...?" And it is more or less what it says. You can add stuff and complete the thought, or you can leave it as is and let people figure it out by context. And if you can't tell by context...

@WhimsiCat Ah yeah. I don't really read the captions in the margin though. Maybe he misread it as odoroite (驚いて). Yes, it does say Wu-nya is being helpful to those two.

@DrHizzle @Wolvenworks I have no idea what the complaint is about the second chapter's translation. It's perfectly readable and quite well done, actually. Only 2 spots though: first, on pg. 11, he's talking about his pharmacy and potions teacher at the academy saying the next line, not that he...

Just a minor correction: Googs doesn't say that he was a member of the garrison, but the garrison that came from the capital was the first to run away after the epidemic. He actually uses a different word for the troop from the capital, 駐屯兵, which means an occupying force. He himself is 衛兵 which...

@DrHizzle Ah, so you're continuing it? I tried to send you a direct mail about taking over but DM is down currently.

Why are you scanlating a licensed title?

I think this series is hilarious and people don't like the MC because he kills cute elf girls. Stop reading then because that's sort of a pattern.

@jjpark1904 It's science in that FTL travel commonplace in most space opera is sci-fi.

My impression of all this is that yes it was kind of a ham-handed ending, but then, what's the alternative? Another one of those, like the lying pancreas in cooking April? So yeah, I'll take the ending but I'm much more focused on the journey. The sciencey mumbo jumbo ended up being distracting...

The science part is pretty barebone, but so far as it focuses on the time as variables, it's... sciency, I guess? It just licks the surface of the Special Relativity but that's really all you can expect from a manga. Then it devolves into metaphysics of perception and shared experience. At that...

@DonnyCorn There are 4 more chapters. Chapter 6 going up soon. Chapter 7 has a crapload of pseudo-science translation that's kicking my ass at the moment. Here's a sample. "Well, if not a black hole then a special gravitational phenomenon that can imprison even the law of causality." Wut...?

@Reviitz This is finished at volume 2 and I have a primary translation for all the remaining chapters. All that's remaining is cleaning and typesetting, plus revision to translation for better flow and comprehension. Of those, the last part usually takes the longest time. And this was a monthly.

@Heika I might do the binge release anyway. I have the translations already and cleaning is pretty simple. So I'll just do the remaining chapters and release it all at once. Also, that gives me some time to see whether I'll get anyone to send me a proof of purchase. From beginning to end, I...

Tankoubon has been out since 12/22/19 and I have it, but it needs a ton of cleaning. And 4 komas are usually very text dense, meaning there aren't many panels that don't have text. So 8 pages of 4 koma is almost like double that number of pages in a regular manga. So in short, a whole lotta work...

One quick note about gathering people at a convenience store. Sound pretty harmless to the Western sensibilities, right? I thought about dressing up the translation to make it clearer to its intended meaning and I might do that still, but the meaning here is that his sister was a leader of...
