Keeping some random Japanese was just kinda unnecessary for the translation. Just made the whole japanglish situation so awkward. Like old school early 2000s fan translations

So... in page 27/65, in response to Mika's "you're lying", Yotsuba thinks "yeah"... is this some dumb being in denial phase or is she really not reciprocating her feelings and accepting just because? Am I being pessimistic or just dense?

She was lying about the extent of her feelings to make up for the fact that she responded happily to the guy confessing with her, she’s still into Mika or she wouldn’t have gone for her over him but the “you make my heart beat more than anyone else” might have been an exaggeration. The experience seems more honest for those conditioned by comphet than her just being head over heels for the girl immediately.

Hi, Translator here.

I wanted to experiment a little bit by mixing up those bits to try make it sound more natural and overall make the translation less stiff. I've had tried to translate the ano-s and etto-s (like any normal translator would) in my earlier projects and there were some who complained about my translation being stiff because of it, so I just went ahead with my plan. Looks like it ended up being inconsistent and making the translation a complete mess with full of unnessecary japanglish (like the first user said). I'll try to balance it out and crucially learn to translate those bits in a comfortable-to-read manner in the future. This was just a quick side project but i guess i should've not underestimated internet people's scrutiny over every tiny thing lol.

Thanks for the advices!

I feel like it's a kind of denial to herself as well, because she DID spend the whole day discombobulated over Mika. She keeps thinking it's "just" this little thing or that about Mika even though it's building up bigger and bigger and immediately negates that "Yeah" with the "But, after all, Furuse Mika, you really are unfair". She's realizing herself she's not exactly being honest when she minimizes her feelings.

Keep on keeping on! Always room for improvement but the fact that you translated in the first place is still super awesome <3

Thanks to you for the translation.

I think this upload would have benefitted from more intentionality in the typesetting. A lot of the text is too big for the bubbles, in an unsuitable font, poorly split amongst the lines, or greatly off-center. In some cases it even obscures the art. This, combined with the untranslated Japanese, leaves some room for improvement.

Hahahah, saw this one coming.

Yeah, it's still far, FAR from perfect. I'm still working out what style of approach that I should use when i'm working with a project. All of the stuffs you mentioned above, I am fully aware of it. My fonts set is still very limited, and I just couldn't make the texts on-center everytime for some reason. I usually change the texts font sizes according to it's relative text bubble size in my other projects, but, the reason I kept the same font size throughout this chapter was me trying to experiment with a different approach. The result of that was this mess of a chapter. It's been something that I've been trying the hardest to imrpove on.

That's why i rather prefer to call my solo group as a 'translation' one and not a 'scanlation' group, because, honestly, i suck at both lol, but translating is just more convenient for me. Having to master a lot of things at once is quite hard.

Welp, in the end, I'm still going to try my best to imrpove though because I genuinely enjoy this part of my life and I love yuri so much.

Thank you very, very much for the advice! I greatly appreciate it. (sorry for commenting a wall of text again guys lol)

I really like seeing the Japanese word/sounds like “etto…” or “ano”. Having watched enough anime… phrases for “umm” or “is that so?” are easily recognizable

I was also confused by the "yeah..." after she asked if she's lying, but it ties back to what she says later when she thinks "...you really are cute". She wasn't saying she was lying
