New chapters are always a good way for me to pass 5 minutes.

Awkward confession time! I think doll joints are kinda hot. I blame Rozen Maiden (also partly to blame for making me fond of big frilly bloomers)

Huh. If the japanese phrase translates to "The scales have fallen (from my eyes)," why not use that? It seems closer to the original meaning and preserves the snake pun.

Lmao yall translated it to blood echoes. So very bloodborne of you

Aww, I wanted to see more of doll-chan.

I've never actually seen that phrase used in English and wasn't really sure how well its meaning would come across. I was completely unaware it even existed in English.

The phrase used there is the Japanese term for Bloodborne's blood echoes. It is a unique phrase in Japanese, so it's specifically meant to be that. Because she's the doll, you see.

No wonder that she didn't see those things coming. I loved that pun. Amazing.

It's very common in English--biblical, even.

^And as tends to happen with Biblical proverbs (and names for that matter) there's a suitably localised rendition in probably pretty much every European language - can confirm Finnish, personally.

Probably doesn't hurt that the inspiration wasn't too hard for any random peasant to witness firsthand...

"Blood echoes" huh? I see this author is a person of culture.

"Your nipples are too hard!" I see what you did here.

Ball joints ARE erotic.

I was hoping she would call her "good hunter"

I have learned something.

Although it's apparently not common enough for anyone else working on the chapter to catch, or for anyone on any other site to have commented on.

It's not terribly common at all. It's valid, yes. But it's quite uncommon.

god damn it. now i need to lend a ps4 again and play bloodborne.

I can see the light!

I lost it at Blood Echoes.

Good as always.

Loving this more with each chapter.

I love the Human x Fallen Angel ship.

If you're bookish you will be quite familiar with the expression, although this discussion makes me feel old, as does the Japanese I read now, so that makes the translation even more apt, in a way.

I love the Human x Fallen Angel ship.

Ditto! From white to black wings (angel of death), that’s hilarious. The allergies is funny, too. Can the human get the angel’s frequent flyer miles?

A perverted, to the point of fallen, angel and a pure demon. Because of course.
