mangasaeki's manga / #bad translation(1)

Koisuru Ryuu no Shima

Ongoing | Chishanomi | 2019 released

Sorry, I had to stop reading half way because the bad translation was just too much. My brain was working overtime attempting to decipher what exactly was going on and what things meant. Don't get me wrong, I'm always grateful that people are willing to go out of their way to translate manga, they're basically godsends. However, there's a cut off point for translation. It has to at least make sense. Spellings, and grammar doesn't always matter but if I can't tell what the fuck is going on, or actually understand what's written, then I may as well be 'reading' the raws. Aside from that, the plot in this manga had SO much wasted potential. The entire time it was lackluster, horny-only (maybe that's what you're looking for [aka just yaoi] but I'm not, especially in fantasy), and honestly, boring. It was rushed as hell and the characters were super fucking annoying. The mangaka added a lot of traits that they really could've played up on, but were left as empty, useless scenes to 'push the plot' along. If I could give this manga a zero, I really would. I'm sorry if that upsets you. The only thing I actually enjoyed about this manga was the art. It was exceptionally beautiful.
