Ah, but a native speaker or a non-native speaker? I've had someone argue that the native sentences straight from an ESL translator (whose sentences were not organized in a way that any native speaker would speak) should only be proofread for spelling and minor grammar mistakes. So, instead of rewriting that sentence to something that actually makes sense in english, you should leave it as close to the japanese kanji and katakana as possible*, so as to preserve the author's original text as much as possible.

E: to bring it back to your point, the sentences would then sound like they were spoken by and english speaker ... just not a native one.

Maybe if you were translating a historical text or something, but for a work of fiction that seems pretty silly. Why make the text more awkward for readers?

I'm glad Misuzu ended up getting the girls in today's Tomo.

Also, I was making my way through the recommended manga in the op and I think Doukyonin wa hiza, might be my new favourite manga. It's the best. :3:

Am I reading too much into this, or Are we headed into a love triangle, just a different one than I initially expected?

Part of me has a hard time believing that this is the twist, mostly because subtlety isn't this manga's strong suit. You'd think it'd be telegraphed for a few chapters beforehand.

Misuzu acts this way all the time (outside of the almost showing regret bit), I don't think it's anything new.

Anyway, Misuzu's the best character so I hope she ends up with the girl.

New Kitty Manga.

Complete with cute cats


Spoiler: cats never do what you want them to...

Also blagh. I don't want human drama, I want kitty drama!


Cute Cats and Humans, a good chapter.

I'm a little sad though because I forgot that the Haru pov chapters don't release at the same time and i wanted to see her reunite with her family. But I guess in a way it's maybe cuter to first see that happen from the perspective of Subaru. :3:
