Even if you didn't want to go to all the scanlators' sites, there are so many ways you can automate the downloading of files on websites to render your task pretty simple (and hands off).

Ahhhh, this is so precious. It's not often we see disabled people get a place in manga, either. So great to see that. <3

Akkii knows well that the most truly lewd and depraved act one girl can do to another is hold hands

bighandxyz:

the series is ongoing, why is it marked as complete on mangaupdate?

Do we know its going to end with only 1 vol?

Considering just this morning I read Chapter 13 on Comic Birz' online reader, it certainly doesn't end with Volume 1.

Can't say I know or understand what goes on over at MangaUpdates at all.

Are these the same characters ? It sure looks like it

Yes. Yukiko originally drew them as random yuri OCs, and then made a 4-koma series out of them.

edit: I'll note that they aren't exactly the same as back then (Sakurako is a huge perv in those older pictures...) but they certainly have their roots from those yuri collections of Yukiko's.

Er... maybe I wasn't clear in my translation? She said she's going to keep releasing doujinshi of them as well.

Legally Married Yuri Couple is getting a serialisation in Yuri Hime!

"The July edition of Yuri Hime goes on sale today! In it is an announcement of a new serialisation! It's a story set in the same world as Legally Married Yuri Couple series but with new characters. The serialisation starts in the September edition. Keep an eye out for it!"

"Oh! The title is 'The Moon is Beautiful'. My editor kindly suggested it! By the way, my editor also came up with my other currently serialised work, 'Sayuri-san's Little Sister is an Angel'."

"I'm going to keep releasing stories about Legally Married Yuri Couple's Haru-san and Sensei in doujinshi form, so keep supporting those as well!"

Every time you refer to something as shoujo-ai, Madoka kills a kitten. And pulls the no pillow on Homura.

Save the kittens. Save the HomuMado sex life. Don't say 'shoujo-ai'.

By no means am I believing Kanade's a woman. From her face, to be precise.

Cool story bro

With the whole omitting her name, I understood it as that rather than it being a story about a certain girl, the name can be interchanged with that of many men and women that go through this sort of thing, and that there is happiness for those people. If so, I think it makes this one just that much better. Or is that too analytical?

you're spot on.

That art shift from the cover to the story tho...

This chapter is part of an anthology (the "Inu no Kimochi, Neko no Kimochi" thing). So you'd imagine this artist didn't do the cover.

All threads at all times should be about loving all over Pekoe

Interestingly I'd actually kind of disagree with both of you!

探訪 to me feels more like the sort of visit a journalist pays to a place for a story or inquiries they would make (cf: kotobank, weblio thesaurus, and the fact that the two kanji are 'search' and 'visit'). It's a 'search', but not in the 'looking for a location' kind of way, but more in the 'going to a place to look for information' sense. You can particularly see this on weblio where all the synonyms to me seem more appropriate to be used in the context of a journalist or detective.

A quick Google search can also show you the way it's being used... seems to be to often be used in sites/blogs and such that are about people travelling around finding out awesome restaurants, sacred/historical sites, landmarks... I even saw one about a trip to go find some komodo dragons...

Not too easy to translate, really... Investigation? Feels a bit weird.

...Polite translation discussion is always better than being rude though~

That's weird , i just read it this morninf in Inuzuka twitter

Haha, yeah, I kinda pounced on this one really quickly so I could have a 1st-2nd-3rd years release at once...

ah i see why , hey do you take any request , it's episode doujin from pixiv and put it together

I don't really understand what you mean by "episode doujin from pixiv and put it together".

In general I'm open to suggestions, but the reality is that unless they really appeal to me they often get thrown at the bottom of my backlog...

Second year students need not apply. I wonder, why a butcher?

Probably because of S2 Ep4 where they think Nico is selling meat at a supermarket.

Part of it is that 'niku' (meat) and 'Nico' are so similar.

This was a really interesting challenge to translate. I've not had much experience with long-form translation in quite a while, and then I wanted to keep the 'children's book' feel to the language as well...

How'd I do, d'ya think?

I'd throw away all the "-chan"'s. And replace Lin's "Nya" w/ "Meow".

My personal preference is to keep in the name honorifics if it makes sense in context. Japanese schoolgirls? Yes, they get them. Some kind of non-Japanese setting like Ghost in the Shell, for example? It doesn't make much sense here, so I'd probably leave them out. In general, my experience is that people seem to like seeing the honorifics, but I guess this is more of what you personally enjoy.

Also my ideal state would be to go full on cat puns a la Monster Hunter 4U's Felynes, but it is actually rather hard to swing this. Requires a good editor to help me out a lot. And in any case, MH4U's cats say nya, so I think Rin-chan can say nya too. :P

But thank you for your thoughts, honestly, I really do appreciate feedback (I get so little of it).

We say tenth grade in Australia too. And to be honest, I've seen this swapping over of 1年生, 2年生 etc. to 10th, 11th, etc. grade in other works, too. I'm somewhat surprised to see people having trouble understanding it.

I almost forgot to mention, you might want to check out RinPana Go Explode, a sequel/prequel/something of this. Not really required reading, but definitely more along the same line.

The very gay masters of Love Live! scanlation have just picked up Yukiko's original serial, Futaribeya!

OP PLEASE.

It's a joint with NHFH Scanlations too, to be fair.
