Space? Space! Gotta go to space! SPAAAAAACE!

ahem Sorry, lost control there for a bit.

Quick corrections: In the Tsiolkovsky quote on page 3, the word "death" should be deleted. On page 48, third panel, it should say "over 6 g" instead of "under." (I guess, technically, since she's experiencing negative g, "under" is more mathematically correct, but "over" makes the danger clearer.)

That credits page just taunts me that I still don’t have Nian, I’ve pulled Mr. Means nothing to me 3 times, Dusk twice, Saga once, and Nian nonce. Please Nian, come home, I’m begging you I’m on my knees~

Anyways, I can see why the translation is kinda weird and turned into Reverse male lead, I’m trying to find a sequence of words to concisely say it and I’ve gone nothing good but Female Male Lead

Genderbent lead

"Gender-swapped lead" is probably better. Genderbent implies an in-story gender switch (magical or otherwise), rather than a rewriting a character to be the opposite gender.

What does "reverse male lead" mean?

This text is rapidly losing its Sub.

What's the "work year" thing they've mentioned a few times? Is it unusual to hire on in certain months?

It's a common practice in Japanese corporations to only hire right at the end of the college school year . College students aim to have a job lined up before they graduate. If they don't they often have to wait an entire year before the corporations start hiring again.

All of the paperwork in a job application is handwritten, including your resume. If you apply for 50 jobs, you have to handwrite 50 copies of your resume in flawless calligraphy, hence Shima's complaint about the paper work.


Rereading with chapter 15 in mind definitely changes the reading of some earlier chapters. This page is even more hilarious now: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/ise_san_and_shima_san_ch03

Chapter 12 seems to be missing.

Interesting visuals: Their social media was immaculate; their bedroom was pristine; but their living room (where mundane day-to-day life occurs) was full of trash. Trash that was never talked about or even acknowledged.

Don't try and blame dumb

Shouldn't it be:

Don't try to play dumb

?

"Try and" is a perfectly good construction, just a bit more informal than "try to." Here's an essay on the usage and history from the Merriam-Webster dictionary editors, if you're interested.

Not just any twin kingdom. Girl's at least gotta do better than Austria-Hungary.

Not exactly putting the bar high, are we?

Hey! My ancestors were from Austria-Hungary and ... uh ... well, they left for America a year before it ceased to exist. ... I forget what my point was.

I don't think I quite get what happened here? Can someone explain for the dummies in the crowd? =w=

The director knew she was hoping for an offer about a future project, to further her carrier. So he gave her advice to keep focused on her current project, but also still keep an eye out for future projects/work openings.

More than that, the director said he noticed a change in Sakuma's writing. There's a difference in the result between writing the best script you can and writing a script to show you can do something more. The first is a work of art; the second is a résumé. The first serves the audience; the second serves the author.

An English translation of that German spoken in latest chapter would be nice.

Thanks for the translation. Isn't it "That is not dead, which can eternal lie" on page 31/i-118?

From the epilogue:

When angry, she's the type to cry when she can't throw things.

Umm ... quite the catch there ...

Funny for Tazune to say "high school is high school, but you're adults now," when he is clearly not over what happened to him back then.

Ramunes posted:

So this maiden thing, is that the term that the older girls use to pick a clueless virgin girl in order to deflower her? I seem to get that feeling. What a bunch of asholes if that happens to be the case.

Sorta.

Unfortunaly it's seem that the wiki link have lost the part on military.

The military section was incorporated into the Monastic section ("chigo" definition in first paragraph, military section starts in the third paragraph)..

Frankly, I don't think he was even that good a writer, given how overwrought his prose invariably was.

It's funny how overwrought his writing can be while also somehow not being descriptive enough: "The horrible thing is so horrible that I cannot describe its horribleness in words!"

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.

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.

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

Also manga is really gay.

I see there isn't a yuri tag, though.

Shouldn't there be a yuri tag thou?

Or perhaps a SCIENCE! tag.

@Admins: The chapters are out of order.

Edit: It's been fixed. Thanks!
