I choose to mix up the localisation style based on the series and also the audience who might be reading it!

I appreciate the thought and effort that go into these translations. I'm reminded of what a professional translator said: "You translate ideas, not words." The writing for Rika in Go Out was especially great in the last few chapters.

All I can say is that I'm glad this wasn't about physics.

Speak for yourself! I was about to suggest a new tag.

These are various little single-panel comics by shimmer (from their pixiv) featuring their Angel x Demon couple. Chapters are in order of release date, and they've been grouped into a series because...same couple, same basic concepts, etc.

Cute stuff! Also does anyone know what's going on in chapter 4...? There's some soda, and...confused.

"Soda" is 8% alcohol by volume.

I don't know why this is all spoilered, but the demon needed the "liquid courage" to confess her true nature after the two had already been together for a while. Notice that the horns and tail are invisible at the beginning of the chapter.

I want them to fall in love and start going out while each still thinks the other is a boy, and then later they finally figure it out. Yaoi and yuri at the same time!

So ... Not not yaoi?

(If you really want to get into regional idioms, try responding, “Why bless your heart!”)

All the more fun since, in the parts of the South I've been to, "bless your heart" translates to "you're an idiot but I'm too much of a lady/gentleman to say that out loud."

Two new ships. Hinako and roomie and .... THE MOMS! All Sakurako's mom needs now is a piece of toast in her mouth before she crashes into Kasumi's mom, and ...

Glad to see that I'm not the only one already shipping the moms together. I can't resist that height gap...
And that last chapter was like really gay, nothing more to say about this

No kidding - last chapter is pretty yuri. YuruYuri level at least.

We need to get writing help from Mochi Au Lait: "Met My Daughter's Girlfriend's Hot Mom at a PTA Meeting"

Regarding this page:

The string 26891254 occurs at position 23,956,051 in the digits of pi.

http://www.angio.net/pi/

So ... Sakurako has memorized near 24 million digits of pi? And can recite them during the length of a movie? I think we need a Science Fiction tag since she's obviously a cyborg.

Edit: Vindication!

I found interesting to know a published translation already tried scottish as an analogy to an unconventional japanese accent.

I think that's a Newcastle accent, given the "worselves."

The previous three pages of discussion are going to confuse a lot of people who come by later.

But will those people be more or less confused than the people who made the posts?

The two confusions will combine into a meta-confusion where everyone argues about what the confusion was actually about.

I really think a romantic relationship between Shino and Nozomi would be a mistake by the author. The arc of the story is the formation of a family when the initial bond between them is traumatically torn away. At the start, the only goal either of them has was to not be an imposition on the other. Shino wanted to grow up and get a job quickly so as not to be a burden on Nozomi, who she suspected didn't want the responsibility. Nozomi, on the other hand, didn't know whether Shino wanted her in her life at all, much less be a caretaker.

Watching them grow closer to the point that they can demand of each other to not hide their problems has been very satisfying to watch. That there's still ambiguity on whether they are creating a older/younger sister bond or a mother-daughter bond is interesting (translator's comment notwithstanding). For this to switch to a romantic relationship would risk erasing the complex family dynamic for an easy way out of the story--especially if the story ends when the romantic relationship begins (like 99% of all romantic stories in all mediums).

If you have an ad blocker, it might be interfering with the menu. Disabling uBlock Origin for this site fixed the problem for me.

For site admins: one of the default blocklists for uBlock and other ad-blockers (EasyList) catches the "?tag_id=" portion of the menu selection.

Why do the dicks eat watermelon.

Because watermelon is delicious.

I'm really liking this story.

Quick note: The first pages of chapter 13 are duplicates of later pages.
Edit: It looks like those first pages (file names prefixed with "Golondrina_c13_" are corrections of the later pages.

Rena is having some trouble remembering where she's from.

"eejit", "ye ain't" --> American South
"bampot", "blootered" --> Scotland
"hella" --> Northern California
"feck" --> Ireland

The only explanation: Rena is an international spy who forgets her cover story when she gets flustered.

Did Bullet's name just change to Rotor? It kinda makes sense given what her arm probably looks like.

Interesting translator's notes about the robot's name. I was thinking it was a reference to ELIZA.
