Oh the accent just throws me off a bit sometimes, not like it's unbearable, really I just appreciate when people take the time to translate it

I just want to say kudos to the translator for the Scottish accent being used for Nanami, I find it super funny and the manga has been amazing so far! Haters gonna hate, lovers gonna love

And readers gonna read . . .

With the release of a new chapter and a return of this series to my immediate notice, I feel obligated to chime in late in this discussion thread with a single contribution to the ongoing dialog.

"Viz did it too!" is not a good argument. Big companies that pay their employees make all sorts of stupid, awful mistakes all the time. The fact that money is being exchanged for labor has zero meaningful correlation to the quality of that labor. For the purposes of this post I have no opinion over whether the accent was the right choice or not. I merely needed to point out that this particular argument is quite terrible, and should not be made by anyone, ever.

Thank you.

I fully agree being professional doesn't automatically mean it has higher quality.

I assume you didn't read my TL;DR post, and if you did, I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

Who is Ropponmatsu's avatar? An original work or is that Ropponmatsu herself? Thanks to this manga I'm learning Scottish accent and how to be patient

Okay, I've changed my mind. The Scottish is fucking perfect.

personally, im never impressed with "the new girl" (ya know, the one that shows up after the fact to stir up piontless trouble and bratty one sided shinanigans, most anime/manga have em) but i actually like this girl lol, shes kinda cute XD its just wierd bc once "these" characters show up im like "ughghghghg plzz nooo T^T" and mentally roll my eyes. but shes ok i like her

At this point I don't even care about the accent anymore, it's distracting, but doesn't hurt my overall enjoyment. I'm more annoyed that 95% of comments here are about the accents and not... The story itself, yes, mine too.

Anyways, as to not be a complete hypocrite, this chapter was pretty funny, I like how the new girl is so weak to manga and it was funny watching her react to Kae, though personally, I'm hoping Kae gets more development later in the story.

What a silly overstatement. I found interesting to know a published translation already tried scottish as an analogy to an unconventional japanese accent. It might not work as a complete justification by itself, but it isn't devoid of reason either.

A rival. xD
And maybe I just got used to it already, but the accent was easier to understand in this chapter than the previous one.

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

I'm glad the kind folks translating this didn't drop the project after all these ingrates howled, and screeched and foamed at the mouth here in the comments section over the fact that that the translator felt the characters heavy accent was important to preserve in the translation in order to capture the original feel and meaning of the dialog in the manga.

Seriously, you people complaining about this make me sick to my stomach. If you have a problem with the manner in which it was translated then by all means do the work yourself. If somebody bakes you a cake you don't spit in their face and screech, "How dare you make it chocolate when I prefer vanilla!"

Kinda got used to the Scottish accent now, I think it makes sense as it carries across the message of her having a strong accent, which she does in the original, but that's as much as I'll comment on that as everyone has already shared their own opinions lol.

The comic relief girl looks like she'll both be irritating but also lay down some truths, I did cheer a little when she was like "ah you're a moocher!" As well mangaka is very much a woman-child moocher. But the OL essentially treats her like a child, so meh. Would be nice to see that change, honestly don't like the dynamic between them both atm. Honestly mostly here for the art right now

bisexual everywhere. Please add this tag.

I know it'd be extremely out of character for Kaede, but whenever there's a scene in a yuri manga where some straight girl is trying to accuse one of the protagonists of trying to "steal her man" or whatever, I always fantasize about said protagonist getting frustrated and shouting, "I'm GAY, dammit!"

Open your heart already. =3=/

At this point I ship Hime and Kaede

This was hilarious.

Still waiting for anything yuri to happen. Really boring to read this when updates are really slow

Just to throw some positivity here instead of all the negativity: I'm liking this. The accent is great. The story has a nice balance of comedy and drama. The characters are entertaining. Good stuff.

I'm really getting into this now. Chapter 4 was hilarious, and has been the best so far. I had mixed feelings on the accent at first, but the more I read the more I've gotten used to it and appreciate it. At this point it feels natural and is easy to read.

Side note: I'm not sure if Ropponmatsu posts/reads posts here but in case they do I thought I'd mention that in the US (and Canada, though I'm not sure about the french parts of Canada) decimals are written with a period instead of a comma, so it might be good to use that for the $ prices for your commissions. There is something to be said for uniformity, though.

I really wish I could help you in a more substantive way but money has been tight for me. I really hope you get a lot of support though, I'm loving your work!

im waiting for ch 30

@oguzhan96
It's the character Ropponmatsu Nishiki, from the manga Excel Saga, though I edited the image slightly. Original image.

@Eluned
If one update per month is slow in your opinion, you'd have hated reading this when it was being published bi-monthly.

@SushiKnight
I'm here! And I forgot about that... =x=

@He who must not be named and who has since been removed from the premises
If saying that Nanami is lesbian is a spoiler when it's revealed in chapter 1, I'm not quite sure what isn't a spoiler at this point, but no, I'm not going to spoil the narrative of this story simply because some people don't understand how sexuality and attraction works.
(As for the [Bisexual] tag itself, it may become relevant regarding other characters, at a much later point.)
