We work hard on every translation but it's also possible to miss something.

Could you give some details?

yeah, i was also curious about that since i don't think it's something honoka would say (at this point in their relationship at least).
Anyway i searched the raw and google translated it and is the translation supposed to go:

"That Eli will absolutely love this!"

I'm only working on context clues here and my knowledge of mandarin. someone correct me if im wrong.

The actual sentence is これエリ絶対好きだわ

Which, if you paid attention to context, means something along the lines of : Eli will definitely love this.

If I break down the sentence, it's:

"これ" = this
"エリ" = Eli
"絶対" = definitely/Absolutely
"好きだ" = Love
"わ" = wa, particle for emphasis (female speak)

When you translate Japanese, you have to pay attention to the context. The これ has the same meaning as "this" in English, which points to something close from the speaker. Here, she's talking about the muffins or the recipe. The current context. So, since she's talking about that, the rest of the sentence is obvious.

She's thinking about how Eli would/will definitely love this thing she just made. And so, she calls her.

Hell with the translation; the real abortion is that sandwich she made. What the fuck is that? Because it looks like ham, cream cheese, margarine for some unholy reason, and regular cheese. And she thinks it's delicious, the poor girl.

But I'd expect no better of a people who think mayonnaise is a wonderful condiment, either, so.

Yeah that makes sense. We discussed it internally and came to the same conclusion, so we're on the same page. So to speak. Anyway, we'll publish a corrected version when we get the chance.

Thanks for the breakdown and confirmation!

Tha Japanese, like most people's, have issues they mightn't be proud of. Mayonnaise is a new one.

Japanese mayonnaise is very different from western mayo it's actually surprisingly really good

I would have preferred she loved Eli, but that'd be out of character for her. The credit page is ace, as usual.

Listen, I like Virgins' Empire as much as anyone, it's a prettily drawn and charmingly written bit of fluff. But the real reason I get excited when I see a new chapter is it means a new Chads no Teikoku credits page. Those are the real spice I'm looking for in my day!

In all seriousness, thank you so much Chads for all the work over the years (and the consistently hilarious credits pages). You've worked so hard to benefit so many people. You'll always be one of my very favorite scanlation groups.

I dunno, it might have gap appeal for a lot of people.

^It was. This is the corrected translation version ie," that Eli, I totally love her " has been corrected to " oh that Eli will totally love this".
Personally I prefer the first version(⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

The new translator sucks and the new credit page jokes are just awful. What happened?

Dude, if you hate it so much, just stop reading instead of commenting on every chapter just to talk about how much you hate it to try and make other people miserable too. The world does NOT need more negativity right now, especially when it comes to things people read for fun.

The 'new translator' (the Chads have been doing this for YEARS during which you apparently forgot about the manga entirely) doesn't suck- I'll gladly vouch for them as someone raised by not one but TWO English majors and is very picky about grammar. The Chads picked this up because the original translator you so desperately miss (I believe it was DrMario) dropped it without warning after several years of BARELY translating anything. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have ANYTHING, let alone such a good quality translation.

So, as someone else said- if you hate the translator that much, go read the raws, and let the rest of us enjoy the manga in peace.

Thanks for the support! I think they are referring to the fact that Ochan stopped translating for us and now we have two new translators but our proofreaders are the same as always. Anyway, we are all doing our best. If there's anything you would like us to improve on, feel free to give constructive criticisms. Otherwise this feels just very demotivating for us (that have a life outside scanlating and we do this for free and for the love of the community, which you are spoiling). About the credits, it is the typesetter of each chapter that makes them, so very different people make very different credits. Making them usually takes longer than typesetting the whole chapter and sometimes it's literally days just to find an idea or the right panels. It's hard to be funny every single time.
Feel free to continue consuming what we make for you for free, but please try not to make our work feel harder :)

AH, I see. Clearly I know nothing about scanlating xP But still, I haven't noticed any drop in quality at all!

That person just annoys me because they keep coming back and commenting just to complain while people here are just trying to enjoy the manga that you make possible for us to read.

Please know that MOST of us appreciate you very much- I was devastated after Dr. Mario abandoned this, since for whatever reason it's not very well known (possibly because of its dubious beginnings, lol), and I'm SO grateful to you guys for making it possible to continue reading this!
