This was a very unfortunate situation but idk how BangAqua, or anyone else who saw the posts, was supposed to know that someone else used the account in her name. It sucks that this happened but most people wouldn't be very happy about being reported, I don't blame BangAqua for being pissed. Since that was the case, idk she only posted about BangAqua reporting her without giving an explanation about why an account in her name reported them first until now. It's time to let this go though.
Seriously, are you Hikari's fucking keeper or something? I'm not really into the drama regarding this project, because as much as I like Given, I don't love it, but seeing you here soap boxing and stirring the pot is seriously annoying. If you want people to view your friend's side then you should do the same for the other team. If it took her four months to work on the translation, then think about the work and time that BangAqua must have put into her scanlations, which goes beyond just translating (including cleaning scans, editing, and re-drawing/cloning). Think about what happens if someone else comes in to work on a project you've also been slaving months to release. Empathy is a two way street - don't ask it for another if you're not prepared to give it to the other side.
I personally have no opinion when it comes to other people working on someone else's projects because I did read the other version to know what's going on, but I will download and keep BangAqua's version because they're HQ. I knew BangAqua would have continued with the scanlations regardless, as she's been around for quite a long time. The problem with having drive-by scanlators is that they often disappear, so keep that in mind when you latch on hard to people who might not be devoted to a project. There's bad behavior on both sides of this argument, so let them handle it and stop telling the rest of us how we should feel or act.
That friend excuse is so bullshit. She only posted that "phone chat" days after she was called out for trying to drama BangAqua in her previous post. You are being the most biased only seeing her side when she did so many wrong things and never once apologized or tried to clear things up.
You better not read BangAqua's translations in the future since you are badmouthing her team so much. Her team picked up this project when it was dropped by the first group and thanks to that you were able to read the second volume of given. You are the ungrateful one here.
That wasn't even her who reported her, if you look on her Tumblr she explained that her friend had used her name because she wanted sensei to think it was her but it wasn't. Obviously you guys are fans of BangAqua and will support them but it wasn't her fault. There's proof that it wasn't her and she even asked her friend to take the account down because she didn't want unnecessary drama. I'll post a link to it but honestly, stop fucking attacking her guys. Fucking talk to her and message her like I did because this shits not her fucking fault, all of you keep siding with BangAqua because they're the first ones. They're so manipulative and you guys just go along with it. This girl honestly tried her best to do these fucking dumbass translations, it took her 4 fucking months and she even had it checked by her friends who were ALSO NATIVE JAPANESE PEOPLE. Go fucking talk to the damn lass instead of siding with BangAqua, if you want, ask her friend why she chose to use Hikari's name in the first place. But if you seriously don't believe the post then what do you want her to do??? Expose her friends number so she can get hate too?? Honestly what her friend did was so fucking cowardly and it's all her friends fault for doing this dumbass bullshit. She Hikari's name instead of her own so her name could tarnish while her friend would be fine. Y'all are damned.
