You mean to say that my phone doesn't have a virus?! Shit... I downloaded all that RAM for nothing...

The easiest way is to provide link that has all the pages of that chapter (even if only one of them are edited). Click your name in the upper right, and select Upload Request. Rest is self explanatory. x)

Art made me cringe in places, but it's a fun read! I genuinely laughed at a bunch of stuff (mainly the dark haired MC being hilariously coarse/unfeminine at times).

It hasn't been scanlated, but this one fits that description, so keep an eye out. The art is... unique... and there is some crossdressing misunderstandings etc., for anyone who might mind that sort of setup.

It's not my battle to fight, but I prefer seeing people helping each other rather than pushing each other aside. In my opinion, offering to help or collaborate would've been an infinitely more respectful and mature alternative.

You're not entitled to your spot on the sidewalk, but it'd still rub you the wrong way if someone pushed you off the sidewalk entirely, because they wanted to walk there instead.

And so you judge another group by their very first release?

Re: https://mai88eternalscarlet.wordpress.com/2018/08/25/aono-nachi-kimi-ga-shinu-made-koi-wo-shitai-till-your-death-do-us-part-reasoning-behind-picking-up/

Alright, guys, this is not how to go about things. If you're worried about the quality for a series you're interested in, then you should offer to help the group that's currently working on it, not hijack it without even contacting them. You're making yourselves look like massive elitist douches, and I'm going to assume that's not what you're going for here.

Aside from sounding arrogant, however, it also comes off as somewhat ironic and hypocritical when some of your group's releases are hardly flawless. Being rough around the edges is fine, but that being the case, perhaps you should worry about your own mess before you start talking about someone else's.

TL;DR:

Oooh, someone picked this up! That's great! x)

Hello, it's I, Hijiki. The theme this time is yuri, so I made Fruit Tart-chan and Mont Blanc-chan sweetly flirt with each other. Sweets are tasty. Yuri is even tastier. Munch munch.

I would like to believe that my wording is on the light side compared to some alternatives from actual licensed works.

Believe me, I've spent a lot of time thinking about what the best course of action would be. After the initial backlash, I was devastated, because I personally felt that I'd given a good and faithful rendition of how Nanami appears in Japanese, to English speakers; she has a very heavy accent that contrasts greatly against the proper and perfect businesswoman image she has. Scots was the obvious and most fitting choice, in my opinion, specifically because it brings with it a similar stereotype, and is hard to understand for many who are unfamiliar with it, just like a Hakata accent, along with being easy to convey in text, unlike most other accents (compare written American vs British English).

The grave miscalculation of mine, however, was that I'd never realised just how much people hate non-American standard English. To me, it seemed natural that if a character has a heavy accent in the original, I'll translate her with a heavy accent as well. I have also seen Scottish used in other translations, even official licensed releases, for example an old favourite of mine, Excel Saga (big surprise, I'm sure), where one character's Okayama accent is rendered as Scottish, and written in an extremely non-standard, mainly phonetic way. This is to say that I knew that this was something even large publishers do in their translations.

As I mentioned — even though I've developed rather thick skin after getting into scanlations — I felt horrible after the initial backlash, and almost completely lost motivation to work on the series, however after hearing voices of support from fellow translators and Japanese readers who can tell just how #thicc Nanami's accent is, it made me feel that I made the right decision after all, as many of them agreed that it would be somewhat of a character assassination to make her speak standard English in the translation.

TL;DR
I've heard the negative opinions, and I understand where you're coming from, but understanding doesn't mean I agree with you. The accent stays, because I feel that it is the best way to translate convey the original content in English. You can either accept it, or move on.

I don't know what's gonna happen in the story until I see it here on Dynasty! True story!

@none
You're not one to talk; you don't speak any other language than Aaaangst! :p

We've been over this...

@Bisexual tag
If Nanami was bisexual, I would've told Drpepperfan to tag it as such. She is not, however.

Edit: Why do everyone assume Nanami speaks in a Kansai accent, when I've explicitly mentioned in every chapter that she doesn't? Lmao
People are gonna be so confused once the character who actually speaks in a Kansai accent shows up......

Desperation is a good motivator...

You can check her out on Twitter or Tumblr, if you want a better place to contact her. :p

I mean, sure... But as I mentioned, I've talked to him and he is currently working on it... :/

@Servomoore
I'm lesbian. I have a BJ fetish. Sexuality is more complicated than just liking c**ks or c**ts. :p

Edit:
This author also mainly draws Het porn, so that's probably the actual reason in this particular case, lol.

I honestly have no idea, but as I mentioned, I only ever upload here, so you can check yourself by seeing on how many sites anything released by my group (Kouyuri) is.
