Yeah, numbering them properly broke the way the volumes are divided, so Kinseijoshi opted for 3 digits, first digit being the volume and the other two the chapter number. I was confused by the same thing before too

Explained here before, so chapter 100 isn't chapter 100, but chapter 00 of volume 1 haha

You talk about a website with a large amount of people like it’s a single person lol

There’s been some good thanks to 4chan, idk why ppl act like 4chan is a single entity that only commits crimes, or a hive mind that acts in unison

You've been doing nothing but defend racism because it's "just a joke" and stretching the words of other users to make them seem crazy and too sensitive, when anyone who has ever browsed 4chan knows there's no difference between the serious and not-serious ones when in the end they're blaming everything on "thirdies" (despite a lot of them being from the imperial core), women (explain how it's okay to be calling trans women sexual predators and other awful things all the time and how this doesn't impact reality at all, and how the usual incel narrative also has no impact) and poc (usual racism found everywhere online but they get to throw ethnic slurs with no consequeneces).

Saving a puppy or two isn't comparable to stalking others and being yet another place to radicalize people. It's not unique to it, big sites are all the same, what changes is that on places like Reddit or Tumblr you can't explicitly say "Kill All (whatever is the current target)", first you need to make it sound queer and/or progressive, but come on lol. Are you browsing it through Reddit or what?

You don't get to decide what is or isn't actually racist based on how uncomfortable it makes YOU who likely have no stakes in how others treat you and your history, and you probably don't know shit about how the people being depicted in those drawings live and the awful things that are happening to them, and if you do you clearly don't care because you're racist. Why else would you be okay with a joke of another's tragedy when you yourself won't find solace in it? If you think racism is only when you call brown people apes or asian people dog eaters, you're mistaken.

I'm tired of this discussion, you know what you're doing and I'm not falling for it anymore. I wish Dynasty wasn't so lenient with racism because that's what it is to be downplaying it.

As another latino user, I don't think anyone needs to chill and be fine with this or her. There are ways of acknowledging cultural and ethnic diversity that isn't, again, making light of the rape of very real people who are to this day still being raped and killed and having their home destroyed. It's not a grudge from ages ago, it's what is currently happening. I don't find it funny either to be making the actions of the British Empire cute, especially when I'm not the one directly living through its consequences in this case, even if they had a presence in the history of my own country.

That's why to us Filipinos whose brains weren't fucked by American culture war slop, Centurii's comic comes off as disgusting and offensive.

Yeah, I'm brazilian, so it was the portuguese who colonized my country, but we are taught about the colonization of the Americas as a whole (Could have been my school, but also some of the presence of Spain and Portugal in Asia) and knowing what has happened to the people they've come in contact with makes it very hard to find any of this funny.

That's what Centurii's comics about it remind me of and learning that they're also Filipino made me think "Ahhh, that makes even more sense now. They're just like that boy in my class".

Now that I'm aware of it too, it does make a lot more sense. This shit is internalized and too many become desensitized to it, but as usual, there is something to gain from keeping people ignorant about history. I'm frankly disappointed at the insistence that it's just an edgy joke and not a sign of what the artist thinks, especially because it's not in a completely fictional context and is a display of how a lot of people in countries that were colonized hold those beliefs without question.

If you think that indigenous people getting raped and being treated as "haha the brown offering herself to the white, I'm not racist btw" is funny, then fine. but not all of us find it funny. Nobody is denying history, we're talking about how this is turning brutal things into cute uwu shit because apparently girls kissing the other is reason enough to give racist people a pass.

Not being able to talk about it was quite difficult, so I'm glad to see other people enjoying it too!

For the sake of my heart I am going to wait until novel 2 is done before reading it, I know I cannot deal with chapter by chapter ;)

Hopefully it won't take that long for us to get through it :P
I've started translating Fuyou 2.2. I'm sorry about the delay, I've been quite depressed lately so it's been hard to do anything, but I'm slowly getting back to it again.

I like Eda a lot so I'm looking forward to how others will react to the things that happen later on eheh

Explain how is making light of how indigenous women were raped, something which is still happening to this day and is not a thing of the past at all, nothing more than a "dumb edgy joke" taking humor in tragedy when the person drawing those things certainly isn't part of the demographic that was and is one of the main victim of colonialism? Be serious.

Certainly you can understand why joking about people who exist(ed) willingly offering themselves sexually to their rapists, and not only that, but also being put in a position where they adore a generic white european when there's a whole history of them destroying south american countries, or anywhere really, is disgusting, especially because I doubt that Centurii is native, and even if she was... it's an incredibly packed "joke" to make and you don't need to be defending somebody who doesn't give a shit about the people she uses as her content and the users trying to justify it for whatever mysterious reason on twitter are the "haha them woke mad" sort.
I sure wonder what that could possibly mean.

And nobody needs to be comfortable with accepting her inoffensive content being uploaded and ignoring her racist jokes while knowing the person responsible for the drawing likely doesn't see them as worthy of respect.

Thank you for the typo reports and your help with the translation itself, both feedback and my own questions!

Thank you so much for the translation, I think this series scratches an itch that no other current series does; I was really bummed when the manga got axed. I really want more people to read this, so I have created an EPUB of the first volume from your translation posted on the fatbeachball website. Where can I contact the translators so they can determine if this is something they are interested in, and if interested, distribute it via their channels instead of me randomly posting it and (inadvertently) claiming credit for their work?

We actually considered doing that very early on, so I believe it is something we both are interested in, since the only way to read our translation is through here and the neocities page itself (aside from a pdf that we haven't really shared anywhere public), but I'd prefer to do that after I receive some translation feedback for volume 1 I'm waiting for, as we might have to make some changes to it. Thank you for the offer though! I'll post here when I've gone through it again, we could probably just link a download for that on our site or here.

The only way to contact me currently is through this thread and Dynasty's discord server (my username there is a bunch of numbers but the display name is the same as here), but I might set up an email later just for this.


It's nice how a lot of the names are quite weird, even the Gendou ones, which started to use a more western name order at some point after Magiri's death. The Gendou love being all different and taking pride in their traditions, but I guess they had to follow some sort of regulation too. If anyone's interested, here are the kanji for the all the characters from the Gendou clan so far since I think they're pretty cool:

Gendou Magiri
弦道間切
Kanna Ishidourou Gendou
寛和石灯籠弦道
Iwana Ishidourou Gendou
岩魚石灯籠弦道
Ozuno Ishidourou Gendou
小角石灯籠弦道
Chuuya Gennissee Jigou
忠哉幻日斎次号
Nurude Shikiriyouni Keiwaku
白膠木仕切鬼蛍惑
Meika Shikiriyouni Keiwaku
瞑華仕切鬼蛍惑

I'm done with chapter 1.3's rough translation also. Really excited for you all to see what's to come too! It really was a shame how the manga ended when things were only starting for them because there are lots of fun moments I'd have loved to see. (minor spoilers for this volume) We even get a drunk Diode scene, Terra rambling about turtles, which would have been really cute, Terra getting Really into how the koi work to the point it scares Diode a little, and also details on why she settled for DIE-OVERDOSE as her nickname but also, I think the koi fishing section has one of the coolest visuals in the whole work along with a certain scene near the end of volume 4... Still thinking about it.

Fuyou is looking really bleak and I wonder if it's even worse for the girls who are not pseudo-royalty. As much as I hate Meika, the thought that she will probably be stuck there alone soon is still kind of a downer.

Also yeah, I don't hate her, I quite like her actually haha, but it does suck to think of her situation and of the many other there. I probably already mentioned this in an older post on the manga's thread, but if not, minor volume 3 spoilers Diode mentions that they aren't allowed to make use of contraceptives to stop their periods, so most of them endure it while others buy them through what is sort of a black market Meika is clearly agonizing while everything slowly kills her, but she doesn't have the same courage as Diode to make that gamble and run away, so in her current situation, considering her position as the daughter of the Clan Chief, it's likely the trackers would go a lot harder on her than they did on Diode, which was already quite... Yeah. So, she would also need an escape plan as extreme as Terra and Diode's of fleeing to the GI, and even then, she is just too tied down to how things currently work and her own responsibilities, so it goes back to her lacking the courage to make that choice and above all, not having the same opportunity to and knowledge.

Anyway, it's just neat how she is an opposite of Terra and Diode. Sadly the other things I could say about her go into heavy spoiler territory...

i read this on dynasty but forgot to save!! its oneshot where the world is ending so girl a invites girl b to take the train to a (cliff?) so that they can jump into the sea and drown together but as they got there, girl a gets off first and holds out her hand to girl b but she hesitates so girl a calls her coward and leaves her, as the train fills with water girl b has inner dialogue and she regrets telling girl a that she loved her. iirc girl a has black short hair and girl b has white hair

We aren't "a flag" either and you're the one reducing those experiences to a label or image.

You're taking issue with posts of people simply wondering if she's the same as them because of how similar her struggles are to theirs, and, again, acting like it's the same as those memories of people denying her being anything, mocking her for not living up to their own idea of womanhood while they pressure her into it and maliciously othering her when they bring up x-gender.
Which are all things trans people struggle with, no matter if they're binary or non-binary, and I don't see how suggesting that a character may be trans (meaning there are other people who share her troubles and she isn't as unfit to exist as she thinks she is) is the same as the setting mocking and shoving her into a box.

If we're going to act like those posts weigh the same as the characters' words, then how is "Hey you might be just like me, so you're not struggling with this alone, you're not the problem and there is something you may find comfort in." the same as "You're weird and I can't tell if you're a boy or a girl, also you should just settle for being a girl and stop with that, grow up lol, freak."?

It's fair not to want to be labeled and there is a lot to be discussed when it comes to labels themselves and how they affect how others interact with us and us with them (and I believe Urasekai Picnic is a great work for those interested in this topic), I myself do not want labels and only describe myself as non-binary in relevant contexts... but again, there's a very big difference between the people on this thread saying they relate to the character and that for that reason they may be trans nb in a way that's supposed to be freeing rather than constricting, since they struggled similarly before with the stress of not properly living up to anything, and the characters in the work itself that are not merely suggesting that she's trans, but instead actively treating her as less and like she's going through a phase for not fitting with either category of man or woman.

And really, the characters aren't just suggesting things but quietly demanding it out of her, so why would the mentions of X-gender within those thoughts be seen as positive suggestions or even comparable to the few posts in this thread about her gender? All of it is in a judgemental tone, pressuring her to pick something already, and that something being a woman. Why would the characters want her to be trans when they push her back to being a girl whenever they get the chance to? It's more like making fun of her.

That scene, less so. Some of the quotes here, though...

Which is why I consider those to still apply to the same struggle. She's a "failure" in the middle of it. It just doesn't make much sense to me to be comparing people who are only saying "Hey, she might be the same as me! I understand her struggles." with characters that are a constant pressure in her life. And if it turns out that she wants no terms for herself or to come up with something of her own, that's fine too and cool. Until there's something more solid regarding that it's completely okay for others to say those things just like how it is to say that she may not want any labels at all. Which, by the way, I don't even disagree with, but it's unnecessary to be averse to the idea that she could turn out to be trans nb this early in the story.

I hope what I'm trying to say makes sense, I don't really have the energy to write anything elaborate.

Nobody was pushing anything, only suggesting that could be the case, especially when being forced to act in that gendered way and suffering deeply because of it is an experience many trans people share.
Especially with a scene like this this, come on. Those characters aren't "pushing her to be trans", they're treating her as an other for not living up to womanhood, which nobody here did when they implied to share a similar struggle with her and relate as a trans person.

"Let me fly your boat" was how Diode originally asked Terra to go fishing with her, and this line is used in marriage proposals in their people's tradition (chapter 3). Terra saying "please fly my boat" here was her basically saying yes to that.

Yeah, it was a really cute detail and makes the axe hurt just a little less... orz

Well, it is over... I was really hoping that it would adapt more of the story, but I guess it wasn't doing well enough to continue. I doubt it was "rushed just to finish it", because the way the story started to flow and the size of the chapters themselves changed considerably in volume 3, so this was the inevitable of working under a limit. There was no way to show all that happens in the second half of the novel in less than 30 pages per chapter. I wish we could have seen the scene where Diode gets called a chuuni by her mother...
And while I wanted to see them actually kiss, the page itself I think works really well, I like it.

Thank you Suimasen Scans for translating it!

Thank you!! I'm really happy with how it turned out and that we've managed to finish it. TCR is awesome.

I'm verifying the translation as a whole one last time, and I personally think that I've improved a lot since I started, so some sentences might change in this round of edits, but thank you again for pointing out those typos, we'll verify if they're still there!

Other than that, I'm already working on volume 2, and things will get quite intense from now on, so it's a shame how we won't be seeing those moments in drawn form. Honestly, same with the whole Eda and Magiri deal, I really like their tragic romance.
