Yeah this is something /a/ already released. This wasn't exactly a planned pick-up, as I didn't even know the series existed until a few weeks ago, when I ended up binge reading most of the translated volumes on Baka-Tsuki. Since /a/ is the only one really scanlating it, I figured I'd take the chance to do a favorite series of mine. We used public raws this time around, probably the same raws as /a/'s release (sans watermark), but the hope is to use HQ raws going forward. This chapter was pretty light on redraws, and I really hope it stays that way.
I toiled a bit over the translation of "Ojou-sama" in this, since she's not a princess and the other ways to localize it just seem... really off to me in context. In the end I decided to just leave in the ojou-sama, mostly because it's the only thing that sounded remotely decent to me, and it gets across the same meaning regardless, but even that I'm not entirely fond of. I might end up changing it after release because I'm still bothered by it. Luckily down the road he changes how he refers to her so it won't bother me forever. My favorite suggestion for it was from Sasuke; "señorita".
I thought about picking up another manga in the same magazine, Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari, and still am considering it, but I know the series is not always redraw light so I'm more or less keeping my distance on that one at the moment.
So thanks for doing the work on this manga even though it might not be a pick-up, the novel is enjoyable and I hope the manga will get the attention it deserves. Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari is also another great manga and novel. Looking forward for more releases from you guys and keep up the amazing work.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the new series!! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, it may not be the case now but after Galactica dropped Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari, Solistia (redrawer) wanted to continue it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pick up this serie! It is one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteThanks for working on this great manga. I'm still currently reading the novel non-stop right now. It would be great if you guys also work on Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari. Also a good novel
ReplyDeleteWhat about using 'Young Lady'?
ReplyDeleteI could see using "Milady" for her. She is too young to use Madam on and "Young Lady" does not feel like it has the right level of formality.
ReplyDeleteI should just point out that tate no yuusha is being done by one time scans...I see no point in taking it from them since they seem to release it quite fast.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, been re-reading many of the chapters after running up to the current translation point. Such a great series with so many emotional/psychological elements...love the interplay between modern/fantasy worldviews.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it all. :) Hopefully, the rest of the web novel will make it into the published version.
