He explicitly said it on his twitter that he was selling the doujinshi so it wasn't free. If you look up his prixiv.me account, he was selling this doujin there.

I only read thread and nobody mentioned it there.

Mel will encounter some problem and her life will be at risk, but Master will show up, save her, understand how much Mel means to her and they will finally fuck. Happy ending.

Well from what I know transsexual and transgender pretty much referred to the same thing, just 1 was first and become outdated and inaccurate when we learned that it wasn't as much sexuality as gender identity so it got changed to transgender to reflect that. I know transgender is used as umbrella term nowadays and that was what I was referring to.

I really dislike how meaning of trans got changed to "not identifying with assigned gender."

Yeah uh, gonna go ahead and call that what it is it's transphobic. Transgender very fucking specifically means that you don't identify with the assigned gender at birth. It doesn't matter what the other gender(s) are you are TRANSITIONING into them. And you know what hurts actually trans people more? Bullshit like you're saying.

Yea, you just proved my point. Trans used to be just shortcut of transgender and meaning someone who don't identify with their assigned gender and wants to transition to opposite one (or already did so). Agender people are perfectly fine with their actual body and don't want to transition to anything so in no way they are trans. But because word trans nowadays just means "don't like their birth gender" everyone uses it and it can mean whatever.

Well first
1. Agender people are trans since they still don't identify as assigned gender.

That is spreading meaning of trans so thin though. I really dislike how meaning of trans got changed to "not identifying with assigned gender" and I find the split between cis and trans obnoxious in the first place. Saying someone who is agender is trans is really muddying the meaning of the word and making it harder on actual trans people as well as other people who want to try to understand it.

1. Not always, I don't want to be perceived as male but I am not female. Most of my dysphoria is over not being feminine enough but I find the idea of checking a box for gender so obnoxious, I don't participate in gender.
2. One reason the insistence on only writing trans women being with cis men is toxic, is that we aren't all straight. I'm a trans lesbian and proud.

So which is it then? You first write as if you're agender, but then you say you have dysphoria over not being feminine enough, but then you say you don't "participate" in gender, but then you write you're a trans woman. Those things don't go hand in hand. You can't identify with neither gender, but at the same time call yourself a trans lesbian. So you're a woman or not?

I understand that being agender is a identity. You're identifying as something other than man or woman and being shoved into one of those 2 categorizes can feel uncomfortable. You want people to treat you as neither, because you are just you. That being said I'm sure there are people who don't really care how they are perceived by others, so not necessary all agender people will want to be treated as neutral as possible and feel rejected if they aren't.

It seems so.

Well this chapter was garbage. It turned out to be even worse love triangle than I feared. Welp time to drop it then.

Author's doing a "Andrzej Sapkowski", I see.

So that means we're getting the ultimate yuri RPG about romancing a werewolf?

If only that was what it meant, but sadly it's something retarded instead.

Tensei Shitara Slime Datta ken: MC choses to be female in an isekai so...

Isn't he reincarnated as slime though? That's kinda the title. Even if he is female slime I don't think it makes it much better.

EDIT/ Yea, I looked it up and he still identify as male and while his body resembles female, only reasons it does is because he absorbed girl to get ability to change into human. Also kinda defeats purpose of making him slime in the first place, if later he can just look human.

EDIT 2/ Found it in the manga. Not only he has no reproductive organs, he actually is disappointed he has no dick. So there goes your yuri. He is 100% male at heart.

It has confirmed yuri ending. MC is comicsexual anyway.

It would have sufficed to let them know it wasn't up to par and take it down, rather than publicly humiliate them and accuse them of deliberately tarnishing both the work and manga translation as a whole.

Except that is what we did. Someone pointed out translation was inaccurate and MrCatt response was "Yes I know. I rewrote it on purpose, because that is how I do things". Then everyone started to criticize him. In fact, most of it wasn't aimed at him, but other people defending his translation with "it doesn't matter it is nothing like original" and "we should be grateful we got something". Person in question actually didn't respond much and when he did, he pretty much outright said, he doesn't care whatever his translation is accurate or not, because that is the way he translate stuff. He even admitted after all of it, he is going to tl it for russians and he will make identical changes, despite knowing full well they will hate it too. You can check comments, since they are still there.

Good. Now I don't need to redo it. Considering I was going nowhere with it in the first place, it's a good thing someone picked it up.

Emi is 1 dense motherfucker.

Well I mean I just find random picks that kinda fits, so it can work well. But I can't edit images to make my own unique thumbnails for shit. And I don't really have good ideas for them in the first place.

Except by virtue of her status has protoganist, is Uta really much better than the other dithering idiots in this story? Pre-confession I’d have said no, but I’ve been able to retain at least some sympathy for her since, unlike anyone else in the story—except Konatsu, as you say—at least she finally took the bull by the horns and did something, although the bull still seems to be only vaguely aware of it.

Has Uta even confessed? (and by confession saying the words "I love you like a love song" or something LOL)

I mean, as far as I know, she just looked at Kaoru with weird eyes and that was it. Well unless they kissed.

Well since this is all the confirmation we got, I can't blame you. So presumably just "I love you".

Also Konatsu's story is actually way worse than Uta's since she was taken advantage of and raped and then left traumatized without any support and nurse wasn't properly punished for her crime. So it's actually very tragic ending for Konatsu, while nurse got away scot free.

If I'm reading this correctly, Mermaid's home release will be censored in the UK

Yup. Any character who is not of legal age shown having any sexual interaction is against law and forbidden. Showing 2 teenagers having sex will destroy civilization. At this point what's the point of releasing it, if they are going to cut everything that actually made that series interesting. Once again, I'm disappointed in humanity.

I think that, in realistic and semi-realistic stories anyway, there’s a bunch of stuff that seems pretty localization-proof

I agree, that going out of your way to erase every single sign of foreign culture might take way more effort than it's worth it and most don't go as far. But then I remember Ace Attorney.

Is that the game where the setting is changed to a fictional California that randomly happens to have a whole lot of Japanese people in it?

That's the one.

I don't really have much to add about translation. Pretty much to me the most important part is getting the same experience as native readers. Sure, translation should be as faithful as possible, but it's not always plausible. And in the end, the point is not translating it word for word, but rather getting the same meaning across. So some changes are inevitable, but while wording my differ, the most important thing is to convey the same feeling and intention as original.

And sure, if you try hard enough, you can technically achieve it when doing localization, but personally, removing original culture from work and replacing it with "local" culture is just missing the point. The reason most people read/watch manga/anime in the first place is because we like japanese culture and want to learn more about it. So while I understand some changes are necessary, going out of your way to remove any traces of it doesn't make any sense. What's the point of importing something from different country, different culture, to then warp and change it so it will fit perfectly your country and your culture. It actually feels pretty xenophobic, because it seems like you don't trust people will like anything that isn't familiar to them. Isn't theirs. In fact, you rob people of chance to learn and experience cultures different to theirs. Isn't that the entire point of importing something? It's as if you translated movie or book and you'd remove any culture references etc. Nobody does that, because that would be stupid.

They are androgynous because they are genderless. You know. Because they are freaking gems. Last time I checked minerals/stones didn't have gender. And yes, it was said in the story or confirmed by author. Don't remember which.

Well, Fate is taking liberties with myth in the first place. So changes to it are bond to happen here and there. For starters, in Fate Arthur actually existed as a person and was a woman that was hiding her gender so... Same for other legendary heroes that actually lived and are not just, well, legends. Gods are for real and magic exist. Fate doesn't take place in the same history as ours, despite being based on it.

And well about Mordred and Morgan Le Fay. Arthurian legends had few versions to begin with and changed a lot over time. But from what I am aware, the Fate version is not that far off from actual legend. Morgan is plotting to take over throne and will stop at nothing. She wanted to brainwash Mordred to do it for her, but even Mordred was like, bitch you crazy, I ain't listening to you. The reason Mordred betrayed Arthur was more because, when (s)he learned (s)he is Arthur's (daughter) son, (s)he wanted him to acknowledge (her) him, but when Arthur refused, that is what pissed (her) him off and made (her) him decided to betray him.
