More Chinese yuri? I hope it'll be allowed to go someplace. Maybe the government will be too distracted by Corona-chan to do the usual.

Isn’t lily and Lala Chinese gl/yuri comics too? They’re really good

Are my eyes playing a trick on me or that girl actually has elf ears?

The manga is promising hype for new more chapters

Are my eyes playing a trick on me or that girl actually has elf ears?

I looked over that “gazing into the distance” panel like a dozen times trying to clarify whether the elf thing was figurative or literal and tbh I’m not seeing it.

May be a questionable rendition of "fairy", which IIRC is a reasonable translation of an old Chinese term for any number of supernatural or otherworldly women (think "celestial maiden") and apparently a somewhat archaic/poetic flattering epithet for a beautiful lady.

Or that's how it was used in one or two manhwas set in pseudo-Ancient Chinese settings I read elsewhere anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

tbh, I was wondering the same thing when I was translating ahaha
In Chinese, it was literally 精灵少女 (jing ling shao nv), but I don't know of any other meaning to it other than "elf girl". I do know that 小仙女 (xiao xian nv) is often used to describe someone young and pretty....but yeah. Not sure if it was meant to reference some other thing.

This looks cute. Too bad I'm having problems with small print. Even with my maximal magnification and my glasses I am still having trouble reading it.

This came out in 2018, so it may have already got the usual? Snowy Day, do you know how far this got or if it is still going?

Up to chapter 12 right now. Still ongoing. The last chapter was released in January.

yo at the 大鍋菜 i think it means like mixed rice/economy rice (as wikipedia puts it), you can google 食堂大锅菜 (I'm gonna bet its the same word but this one is in simplified chinese, my traditional chinese isn't so good), generally it's just a bunch of dishes precooked and you can pick what to eat with rice

This seems really sweet so far. Following for sure! ^_^

Huh. Interesting...I've never heard of the term economy rice before :o

But would it be correct to call something economy rice flavored? Cause in the raws, it was written as 大锅菜味道 but that doesn't really seem to make sense..?

Either way, it's definitely better than sticking with big-pot dish lol Thanks for the explanation!

we have a scanlation how can we post our work here?

o god that madohomu drawing on the wardrobe,,,,im screaming

I would so trust someone with a MadoHomu poster.

Also, tfw you learn about the green hat thing...

I mean Link did get cucked out of polygons there.

Yeah it kindda a running gag in our country ( although I'm not from chinese )

I definitely recognize that poster, but is the figure anything in specific?

Strongly, strongly suggest adding the translation note about green to... the translation note about green. Understanding the meaning is integral to the entire page, so putting it in credits just forces re-reading and makes the page lose its initial impact. +It's mildly annoying to have to skip to credits and see the rest of the comic spoiled on the way (on mobile).

It doesn't need a paragraph explaining the full cultural context, just a sentence explaining that it means being cheated on.

Localization fun, where the literal translation can actually comes off as quite odd. 精灵少女 I would try "fairy" instead of the mouthful "elf girl.". The idea the author is trying to convey is awestruck by an otherworldly beauty. It's a popular writing device/trope. And in chapter 3 the subject in question is awestruck by the stars in the drawer's eyes. Fun.

大鍋菜 according to baidu is a common dish popular in the north. 大鍋菜, literal translation of big pot vegetable/dish. The name implies it is full of vegetable flavors of various kinds, and in the early days it was something family commonly eaten together before they go off to work. So the name stuck. The name isn't very flattering nor fancy, since it's definitely a more commoner food. At the same time, 大鍋菜 can only be made with common food rather than extra fancy deluxe ingredients. Common ingredients include: pork, mushroom, potato, tofu, and some noodles made out of bean starch.

obvious sidecouple is obvious, amusing

Is this mainland Chinese? Seems strict but I don't know enough about places like Taiwan to compare. Definitely I hope these authors don't get noticed if it's the mainland... America has the orange menace but we still can do what we want for the most part (well, except for now, because we don't want to die of coronavirus).

Also, reminds me, what happened to Beloved L?

Now why would you do something as silly as wear a green it to tell the whole world you got cheated on.

Tbh I just took it as the western “green with envy” before reading the note, it kinda works fine in that regard

The green hat isn't physical, it's just an expression. Like "wearing your heart on your sleeve." Someone "wearing a green hat" is usually a very roundabout and more cultured way of saying "got cheated on." If you don't want to sound crass you use the green hat expression.
