Translators got too distracted and can't focus on their work.

DrSunshine posted:EDIT: Speaking of Takagi-San, I just checked out the other manga that the author did, about the guy whose little sister is a jiang-shi. Oh my god. It's so bad. Why does it exist? Why do the freaking scanlators translate that instead of Takagi-san?? Just why?? Because moe imouto, onii-chan.

DrSunshine posted:As much as I enjoy this slow-moving disaster epic (and all those cute, chubby cheeks!) I wish he'd hurry up and deliver some of the apocalyptic/alien invasion stuff that he's been alluding to all this time. Some actual things happening rather than "OOooh it's COMING! The END is NEAR!!" every single chapter. There's a new chapter out. Just remember, you asked for this, you monster!!!

Ytlaya posted:I've always been really surprised that Saiki Kusuo, a really funny manga that runs in Shounen Jump, is not scanlated while countless random yaoi doujins and what have you are. Gag and comedy manga have never been as popular among fan translators as battle of the week stuff is. I've seen multiple groups complain about the extra effort involved with trying to get across puns and wordplay or to explain cultural references. The people doing the actual translation seem to burn out much faster on that sort of project.

Fellis posted:Cross-quoting from seinen thread. This isn't really surreal, but it is the sort of whimsical fantasy daily life that this thread adores as well It's very nice, and also in the middle of a new release flood. I believe a new volume just came out, and the scanlators are pumping out a chapter every couple of days. It's a great series about two tiny, hard-working, hard-drinking sprites and all the forest folk and critters they interact with daily.

Two new chapters of Teasing Master Takagi You may want to sit down for the first one. The teasing is too strong. It cannot be contained. The teasing has broken the fourth wall!

Speaking of things with abrupt, disappointing endings, 87 Clockers just wrapped, in which the main characters demonstrate all the development they've undergone throughout the series by going back to right where they were at the beginning of the story.

z0glin Warchief posted:I feel like one could come up with a title that signals the monster girl thing without also being terrible, but then again these are the same people who felt this was a good change, so maybe not: Are you really making GBS threads all over people for making the vampire who hates sunlight and avoids it at every opportunity not have a loving tan?

Rodenthar Drothman posted:Did I ever link Custom Maid / did anyone else ever talk about it? If not, it's about a maid with the crazy ability to learn and master literally anything overnight. I read through this today and, though cute, it is about the 14th or 15th manga I've read where the main character is a rich/posh lady who is a secret otaku. Focus the series on Taskmaster the maid instead of a walking cliche, and I might be interested.

It's not a manga, but this season's pet mummy anime Miira no Kaikata is right up this thread's alley. The mummy is super adorable.

Translations for Dowman Sayman's Melancholia are now complete. I'm going to have to re-read this one from the beginning. Even though it starts out feeling like loosely-connected chapters like in Nickelodeon, everything is actually very tightly bound. https://mangadex.org/title/20563/melancholia

I'm glad to see the master of the surreal hasn't been completely abandoned. This translator has been putting out a couple of new chapters a day since then. I am stoked at the possibility of someone consistently translating more Dowman Sayman works. The person (thetsuuyaku) who has translated the most stuff previously, including all of Nickelodeon and Voynich Hotel, and most of Oddman 11, has sadly been radio silent for almost two years.  e: chapter 16 made me laugh out loud like an idiot

Artificer posted:Doesn't the second law supersede the third? Yes, but if the "order" is not clear, a robot may decide to prioritize their own safety since that is much more consistently interpreted. The plot of the very first story where Asimov defined his Three Laws revolved around this contradiction.

I Am Fowl posted:It's a cute manga about an easily frustrated young woman who, when she's flustered mentally says/visualizes cute stuff like "nope nope antelope". One great thing about this is that the wordplay/imagery are different in Japanese and the artist works with the English translator and redraws it to match.
