Man, every group wants to translate a piece of this pie. Meanwhile, I just know the author from their doujins.

 

[Bayaya]

bitches and whore: the manga

 

[Mhmmdalfaridzi]

wtf

 

[animepig]

Bruh everyone is gunning for this series. Scan groups know what brings in the clicks

 

[Rinji]

Thanks! Glancing at all the releases, this TL is the most coherent and sensible. Please keep up the good work!

 

[Wubd]

This will be my third time reading the same chapter but this TL makes the most sense out of the three. Please keep on the good work!

 

[DarknessAssassin]

Thanks Brother @Wubd @Rinji Were still improving as a group

@DarknessAssassin
Comparing the tl's, this one wins, just curious though, both other group uses ko-chan and nagi-chan. Why making it reverse, is it something like paisen? I haven't check the raw so I'm not sure.

Wow lots to compare.

I like the attempt to gal the character names when said by the gyaru bitch.

I have no idea if the magazine is going 18+ or she is being "graduated", as in fired/resigning/retired from the magazine. This tl and Slayer Scans say 18+ but Squiggles coalition says graduating.

Mistress fits better than lovers imo. Lovers people generally think of a single couple. With mistresses, it's usually associated with kept women who are not a legal wife.

Concubine would be an even more accurate term for a member of a harem but most people would think of king's and emperor's concubines.

Instead of "prostitute", "bitch" fits better, or "whore".

I think in Japanese, "bitch" is used in place of "slut", as in "a bitch in heat". "Prostitute" is normally used to describe the sex worker, not as a deragotary term, "whore" or "slut" fit better.

"She's just a cheap prostitute."

"She's just a cheap bitch."

"She's just a cheap slut."

"She's just a cheap whore."

 

[Siegna]

this TL clicks better in my head.

thanks for the chapter

 

[DarknessAssassin]

Thanks Brother @ak0ztik We will keep improving as a group and Brother @SunSun Thanks I'll take notes about it because I'm a not big fan to steal people lines like that like that

 

[Typhoon-_]

This one by far is the best TL that makes sense and not confusing. Thanks for the TL!

 

[DarknessAssassin]

No Problem Brother @Typhoon Were still improving it

 

[Laxius]

This'll be one hell of a journey.

 

[ShionSinX]

Since when is Akatsuki scans doing Alcafus (credits page)? There were 3 different groups working on it, none is doing right now (completed manga but no chapter released in the past 7 months) and none of them was Akatsuki.

 

[DarknessAssassin]

Because Sundome Milky Way was License by Seven Seas (basically force dropped) Brother @ShionSinX so this is a replacement

 

[ShionSinX]

@DarknessAssassin I mean, if Akatsuki never released even a single chapter for it and "dropped", why its on the credits page? Gave me false hopes

 

[DarknessAssassin]

Because we dont have much typesetters and translators so our fault is advanced Brother @ShionSinX
