... ppl shouldn't translate if they can't understand the original language (whether it's japanese, chinese, korean, russian, etc) hopefully a good scanlation team notices that this translation is a hot mess and picks it up later.
thankfully i bought every single issue of be boy magazine just for this series because i'm a huge ogeretsu fan. as usual my only concern with her is whether or not we'll get a tankoubon release soon... or not at all (still waiting on koi new town and lonely to organdy)

    but isnt it better to at least something to read than nothing at all? personally im very thankful to this translator bc they spent their time doing all of this for ppl to read.

    I understand your hesitation, but I would like to defend myself. I’m a native Russian speaker, who also lived in an English speaking country for a while, so I’m very well versed in both languages I would say. I also consulted another translator and we both had no idea. Since I enjoyed reading this I wanted to share.
    Your opinion is of course still your opinion, but you must also understand that I, like any other human being, dislike criticism for something I worked on for a very long time (even if necessary). Also I would be fine with the original scanlation replacing my translation.
    My rant has literally no point, but I would be pleased if you reached out to me, to tell me which sentences are unsatisfactory.

    So Misaki is jealous of Kaname. (I kinda skimmed, but that’s seemingly the source of the conflict
    They start arguing. Kaname runs outside and is like “are you alright?”
    Misaki; “ How’s the party?” Kaname; “ your well-being is way more important to me.”
    Misaki starts screaming how the party is more important. Kaname; “Are you mad at me?”
    Misaki; “Leave me alone. You wouldn’t understand”
    Kaname is like “but I love you” then Misaki is like “would you quit your job for me? Ah that’s how it is”
    They’re both sad.
    Next chapter there’s seemingly a time skip and yes he works in a kombini.

    A bit late for the reply but don't mind me ahah tbh Ogeretsu is one of my fave BL author so I just want her work to be done justice, but I think it's cool that you took it upon yourself to make the work available for more ppl! also I think scanlation is about experience and the more you do it, the better you'll get I'm sure.
