darkgray posted:The tone is different. Lots of words added, etc. Like the translator looked at the original and went "How can I make this funnier?" and wrote his own version instead. It seems to be working, since it's popular, but not quite the same thing anymore. Maybe it's even better, but it feels confusing coming from the original. In all honesty, I wish more scanlators were willing to put in that extra effort, especially for comedy manga where idiomatic stuff, puns, social differences, etc. get way lost. "T/N: this line is a scream in Japanese," followed by two paragraphs of explanation, blunts the impact.

Forget it, Jake. It's Tomo-chan.

Komi-san is a glimpse into an alternate future where Bocchi couldn't make friends with Nako.

I love all of Bocchi's friends, but Aru is something special.
