Typesetter here. I've got a few templates made for credits already at >>>/animu/17992 , though a main eye-catch image for this volume (8) hasn't been determined just yet. What's needed (for kouya anyhow) is redrawing and stitching two-page spreads. If you, or anyone else, is good at either/both, the help would be appreciated, as while I could (and probably should) learn to myself, I don't want to be either holding up releases or putting out subpar stuff while trying to get a feel for how to do so.
Still double-checking the roughs for chapter 43 before I post them for QA. Looking forward, chapter 44 seems like it only needs stitching on these paired pages here. Title page doesn't seem to need a redraw for once, as the background the name is laid over is solid black for the vicinity.

The guy who left was apparently a typesetter for The World of Moral Reversal, and was helping on the side with this. If/when that resumes (from the sound of things, it's been an issue of waiting for more raw chapters to be released/scanned/uploaded, but I haven't directly followed it), that effort will probably need a replacement to continue. Just an idea of what to look for, and maybe give >>949301 a reply and let them know there's someone already here willing?

Roughs for Chapter 43. The volume cover and table of contents will be included in the eventual zip. Not sure what you guys want to do with the blank pages mixed in around those when the time comes to upload to mega. Anyhow, I'm going to start here from the first page of the chapter, being that the aforementioned needed absolutely no work from me (except jpeg-ing the cover).
>p_005
Chapter title rendered as a main title and “English Furigana” to catch both interpretations being applicable.
>p_008
“Yes!” being Gen’s response to being commanded to go faster sounds awkward. I'd think that “Sure!” or “Alright!” would be more appropriate. “Complaining” replaced with “whining” in Makura's response to better work with the available space and frame. “Please watch out behind you” sounds more like Gen’s the one watching her back; “Please bear in mind who’s behind you” seems a bit better to me as it’s him trying (and failing) to avoid back-blast, but I’m not entirely certain if that’s valid to the Japanese line.
>p_009
Added an “it” to Makura’s observation to better work with the size of the bubble.

Replaced a “y” in “NO WAAAAAAY!!!” with another “a”. Far as I know, even when it’s effectively just used to make a vowel be pronounced in its hard form, you wouldn’t use another Y to stretch the noise. I could be wrong though.
>p_012
Second panel. “also another” feels redundant. Doing some looking, dolphin noises do have actual terms applied to them: whistles, chirps, screams, etc. Being that this noise looks to be repeated twice quickly, I’ve gone with “chirp”, but maybe “squeak” might be more accessible? Point being, it seems like it should have some onomatopoeia that works for it.
>p_014
“Enhanced dynamic visual acuity” sounds a bit off. Would “dynamically enhanced visual acuity” still be accurate to the Japanese? “Both with” works better with the way the text visually flows than just “with”. “Even though” substituted for “although” in panel 2.

“His target is” works better with the bubble than “He’s targeting”. I'd suspect it doesn't quite sync with the tense or whatever used in Japanese though, even if the end result is the same (Mikado discovering Majira's been after Hijikata). Your call.

In this case, it should be the former, “Enhanced dynamic visual acuity”, as "dynamic visual acuity" is the object altered by the verb "enhanced", changing would turn "dynamic" into an adverb.
The choice for credits page looks good too.

Sorry for the wait; was busy trying to archive some things in relation to /v/ earlier. Anon that's been managing resources for the Vita threads is leaving for the webring, and gave a warning he's not sure he won't do anything "rash" with content he's made and hosted for a place he no longer wants to be part of.
Translation notes page took a while. Font I'm using does not like oddly written letters (the "ō" in Bōnenkai defaults to myriad when I try to copy the word in with Anime Ace). Is "bonenkai" (as the transcript uses for page text on p_010-011) an acceptable way to render it, or should it really be "bounenkai" (as a lookup of the kanji in the translation note suggests as a proper alternate to using the ō)? Thinking I ought to keep things consistent, which will probably mean editing either the notes or the chapter page its used on (and in the exclamation gets a bit harder to work with; not big on breaking a single word more than once).

Bonenkai is fine. It wouldn't be the first time "ou" is simplified to "o", both in this series and many others. Mikado's given name, Shuhei, should be written Shuuhei, or Shūhei, if we were to be strict about the phonetics. But previous groups used the simplified version and we just went with it.

Quick question: Has this particular font been used in the Japanese raws previously? Wondering if there's an existing "equivalency" I need to look back through the English chapters and try to figure out what Sparrow might have used prior, or if this is grounds for finding a new font that carries the tone.

Maybe, but I'm not too keen on it.
The first time it showed up I did find a reference to Proteus Effect (searching for "avatar effect meaning" brings that up), but since it happened in an explanation about their transformation (and Proteus Effect is about change in behaviour) I brushed it off. And went with the literal translation instead.
>アーヴァタール
>Avatar
Even now, I'd still argue the literal translation is better. This is the first time (that I can remember) that Avatar effect was brought up specifically to talk about their behaviour. So far it has related more to their appearances, and since each Dokkaku soldier is an avatar of their chinese zodiac sign, I think it's a better therm overall.
But who knows, it might feature in a TN page in the future.

I'd argue that the "avatar effect" is probably just what the "proteus effect" is called in japan. Further, what is described is that a change in appearance and disconnect from body is what changes the behavior. Which makes sense in context.

Seems like Wild Words was the font used there, so at least it's identifiable, to me anyhow. But as I see it, it's a font that isn't as readily distinguishable from the standard Anime Ace being used. There's a clear difference between the quote/narration font and the "typed" font being used for most of the text throughout the past chapters (and later in this one), and that's a factor I'd think ought to be considered with the English render, at least for lengthy quotes. Being that this set of text is apparently from a travel journal, I'd kind of imagine it being originally handwritten or printed with a typewriter in the field (assuming it wasn't from a year when laptops were already prevalent), but that's just me.
Using this panel to play around with some fonts I've got for the time being that might bring out either quality, as well as how it would look in Wild Words. I'm rather partial to how Bradley Hand and Bohemian Typewriter look, but I might as well see what others think, and if there's a possibly better (free) font someone knows, I can give it a try as well.

Alright, will adjust things to that then.
Got most of the base typesetting done tonight, but it's not being as easy a chapter to work with, especially as font size seems to be all over the place on the raws (I want to say the Mexicans in particular are prone to having a normal speaking voice that feels louder). But also this line from the transcript if being a right pain in the ass to work with:
>I believe a settlement will be difficult, no matter how much you talk or try to buy it from them.
Going off standard font size of 4 pt, it just doesn't fit in the bubble, even trying to use synonyms that are easier to work with, and while I can kind of fit some in the prior bubble, unlike the previous time I had to, there's not really a clear "clause" for it break on. Out of curiosity, is the Japanese line saying that entire line directly, or is it shorter and added context was deemed necessary?

It's one of those cases when japanese can be more compact than it's english couterpart.

>A settlement will be tough, either through talking or bribing.

Just to double check, is Mikado talking "settlement" as in finding some mutual agreement for Gen's men to be on the Lacandon land in general, or rights to land to set up an actual settlement there for their workers to camp in while they snoop around for oil? I suppose either way, it'd probably come down to the same thing in the end if he gets his way, but it can impact possible wording (IE: "reaching a settlement" has a different meaning between the two).

General: I think we stuck with "Gomes" so if you see him called "Gomez" later, it's a typo and should be switched back to "s".
p_029-033: I think standard book-writing procedure for a long broken-up quote is to only use opening quotes for every new paragraph. However, that might look weird in manga. The method currently shown, where solitary bubbles and merged bubbles are given one set of quotes each, looks pretty good to me.
p_034: "tha" was likely done by mistake (it's a typo). Keeping it as a cigarette mumble is cool though, assuming readers get it.
p_036 panel 3: "poullute" to "pollute"
p_039: "came clean" seems to be more popular for the meaning of "revealing all", so I'd say go for that one.
p_056: The "rival of your company" is meant to refer to Godai and Zombist working for "someone else"; the original mentioned Godai and Zombist "being headhunted" (ヘッドハントされてしまった), which tipped Mikado off. Hijikata is characteristically roundabout, never mentioning another company directly, hence "someone else".
If you'd prefer to keep the headhunting corporate lingo, and since Hijikata mentions the Cherubim group on the very next page anyway, something like
Professor Godai and Zombist were headhunted by a different group.
would work.

Also, just in case someone takes the "cool" bit badly: Gomes talks very casually- in that panel, he says "あの声かい"？ and "ありゃあ", very casual terms- so a slurred "tha" would be a cool way of indicating that.

I guess I'll keep it then. Is the rest of the Japanese script for him throughout the chapter like that though, or just that panel? Wondering if it should to be reflected further in his speech as characterization given that's an establishing panel, or if he was just "in the moment".
>panel 3: "poullute" to "pollute"
Fixed. Was probably from when I trying to get that line to fit better.
>The "rival of your company" is meant to refer to Godai and Zombist working for "someone else"; the original mentioned Godai and Zombist "being headhunted" (ヘッドハントされてしまった), which tipped Mikado off.

Ah. I guess I should have inferred that much. And it makes sense he assumes (rightly) that Mikado knows a businessman will still be talking business.

Actually, looking at more than just the bubble on the second now, him saying "group" twice in the same panel feels a bit repetitive, in a way that "someone else" didn't. I'd wonder if "establishment" or "firm" could work, or if that goes a bit too far into actually being specific compared to how he's speaking.

Perhaps "party" ("...headhunted by another party"), but "establishment" works too since that's vague enough to describe Cherubim. "Firm" might be too corporation-specific for what is apparently a secret multinational organization.

I like establishment because it's open ended but can still be read "business" into on the listener's (reader's) end.
>a lot of his remaining speech is rather intense (angry, determined, scared, etc.) so it doesn't really show up much.
Good point. Still might be something to consider looking over for the scripts for subsequent chapters he's in, assuming you don't mean every other time he appears he's unable to sound as relaxed, and not just in this chapter.
Worth adding a brief note to the p_034 that it's not a typo? Or do you think it sounds fitting enough that the reader won't think that?

Translation Notes
Koteka: The koteka, horim, or penis gourd is a penis sheath traditionally worn by native male inhabitants of some (mainly highland) ethnic groups in New Guinea to cover their genitals. They are normally made from a dried-out gourd, Lagenaria siceraria, although other species, such as Nepenthes mirabilis, are also used. They are held in place by a small loop of fiber attached to the base of the koteka and placed around the scrotum. There is a secondary loop placed around the chest or abdomen and attached to the main body of the koteka. Men choose kotekas similar to ones worn by other men in their cultural group. For example, Yali men favour a long, thin koteka, which helps hold up the multiple rattan hoops worn around their waist. Men from Tiom wear a double gourd, held up with a strip of cloth, and use the space between the two gourds for carrying small items such as money and tobacco.

{Page top} Dokkaku Soldier ー Indra
TN: In this case his japanese name pretty much matches the romanized version, インダラ (lit. Indara), so I'm not leaving a japanese pronunciation.
{Title} Indra and how to depict a horse.
TN: Lit. "Indra and horse-feeling." In this case "feeling" refers on how to transmit the essence or the general feeling of something.
Now that ten years have passed, I've begun to feel dissatisfied with the design of some Dokkaku soldiers. I'm starting to see some flaws in them. Among them, only Indra still feels somewhat convincing to me.
Some people might think that something like a horse-man can't be threatening. But the wild Przewalski's horse (mongolian horse) is considerably aggressive. Zebras are even more so, being capable of killing lions with their bite. Giraffes are also known for killing lions with their kicks, and antelopes can stab them to death. I want to know who came up with this fantasy that herbivores are docile creatures.
I took my wife to Mongolia some time ago, we stayed in those grass-covered plains for a week, set on horse riding to our hearts content. We slept in our tent every night, watched the horizon and the starry sky, ate sheep in our three meals every day, sometimes wild marmot too, argued with some local bokudou (TN: someone who tends pastures and livestock, I'm not sure wether to use an english translation here), and learned how to kill and butcher a sheep. Feeling those experiences over and over again in my own skin made me feel connected to these animals, so much stronger than I am, on both a physical and mental level, and for this I believe that vacation was immensely useful to me.
In fact, I have got a horse related anecdote for you from that trip, an unbelievable scene that I got to watch there. A local riding a horse managed to ride it up a steep cliff of about 40 or 50 meters, nimbly and perplexingly guiding it in a path with little scaffolding.
Mongolian horse riding technique can seem supernatural, and the dexterity those horses have are also truly astonishing. I now draw horses with much more respect, after being so surprised.

>I took my wife to Mongolia some time ago, we stayed in those grass-covered plains for a week, set on horse riding to our hearts content. We slept in our tent every night, watched the horizon and the starry sky, ate sheep in our three meals every day, sometimes wild marmot too, argued with some local bokudou (TN: someone who tends pastures and livestock, I'm not sure wether to use an english translation here), and learned how to kill and butcher a sheep. Feeling those experiences over and over again in my own skin made me feel connected to these animals, so much stronger than I am, on both a physical and mental level, and for this I believe that vacation was immensely useful to me.
After some searches, translating "bokudou" as "shepherd" looks like a common translation. The bit 相撲を取り could be either arguing or wrestling so I went with the vague "wrestled with".

Mongolian horse riding technique borders on the supernatural, and the dexterity those horses have is also truly surprising. By writing of our "respect" (敬) for the "horse" (馬), we write "surprise" (驚).

As far as impressions go, I think I unconsciously gave Houzan and Gen-san the same contrast that Mifune Toshiro and Nakadai Tatsuya had. Obviously, that also means Kurosawa Akira, the director, had a huge influence into the making of their visuals.
As for their character archetypes, Houzan is a military leader, a master swordsman, while Gen-san is a ninja.
He's just like Mushikagojin from the clan Negoro, a ninja first introduced in "Shinobi no Manji", Yamada Futaro's magnum opus, from his Ninja Scroll series. Depicted as a ninja who didn't have much fighting ability, but who was still very skilled in reaching his goals. If we go by Yamada Futaro-shi's own words, his masterwork was "Warai Onmyoji" but... no no no nooo way, it has got to be "Shinobi no Manji" for suuure.
One more thing, when I was picturing Gen-san's character I was thinking of Gyaos from the first Heisei era's Gamera. Although the explosion of a single plasma fireball from Gamera would be enough to defeat any enemy, it was still driven into a corner, what a splendid vicious fight that was!

Translation notes holy fuck where do I even start
Mifune Toshiro (三船 敏郎, April 1, 1920 – December 24, 1997) was a Japanese actor who appeared in over 150 feature films. He is best known for his 16-film collaboration (1948–65) with Akira Kurosawa in such works as "Rashomon", "Seven Samurai", "The Hidden Fortress", "Throne of Blood", and "Yojimbo". He also portrayed Miyamoto Musashi in Hiroshi Inagaki's "Samurai Trilogy" and one earlier Inagaki film, Lord Toranaga in the NBC television miniseries "Shōgun", and Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto in three different films.
*First pic: Mifune portraying Sanjuro Kuwabatake in the movie Yojimbo, 1961
Nakadai Tatsuya (仲代 達矢, born Nakadai Motohisa; December 13, 1932 – present) worked with a number of Japan's best-known filmmakers—starring or co-starring in five films directed by Akira Kurosawa. In "Kagemusha" Nakadai plays both the titular thief turned body-double and the famous daimyo Takeda Shingen whom the thief is tasked with impersonating. This dual role helped him win his second Blue Ribbon Award for Best Actor. In "Ran" Nakadai plays another daimyo, Hidetora Ichimonji (loosely based on King Lear from Shakespeare's play King Lear and inspired by the historical daimyo Mōri Motonari).

Kurosawa Akira (Japanese: 黒澤明 or 黒沢明 or 黑澤明; March 23, 1910 – September 6, 1998) was a Japanese film director and screenwriter, who directed 30 films in a career spanning 57 years. He is regarded as one of the most important and influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. Kurosawa entered the Japanese film industry in 1936, following a brief stint as a painter. After years of working on numerous films as an assistant director and scriptwriter, he made his debut as a director during World War II with the popular action film Sanshiro Sugata (a.k.a. Judo Saga). After the war, the critically acclaimed Drunken Angel (1948), in which Kurosawa cast then-unknown actor Toshiro Mifune in a starring role, cemented the director's reputation as one of the most important young filmmakers in Japan. The two men would go on to collaborate on another 15 films.

Yamada Futaro (山田 風太郎, Yamada Fūtarō, January 4, 1922 – July 28, 2001) was the pen name of Seiya Yamada (山田 誠也, Yamada Seiya). Son of doctors, his first intention was to be a doctor, too, but during his attendance at the Tokyo Medical College in 1947, one novel he wrote was awarded a prize by a detective novel magazine, and after graduation in 1950, he decided to be a novelist. Author of the "Ninja Scrolls" (忍法帖, Ninpocho) series, spanning from 1959 to 1992 with 25 novels in total. The very first title of that series, "The Kouga Ninja Scrolls", was translated to english in 2006, and birthed two manga adaptations, one by the same title in 1963, by Haruo Koyama; and another in 2003 by Segawa Masaki entitled Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls (which in turn was adapted into anime and even had a sequel novel of its own canon written by Yamada Masaki). Itoh's favorite novel, "Shinobi no Manji", was published in 1967 and adapted to film in 1968.

Translation notes part two I want off this ride but not really
Gamera is a fictional monster originating from a series of Japanese films of the same name. Gamera first appeared in Noriaki Yuasa's 1965 film Gamera, the Giant Monster, produced by Daiei Film. The character and the first film were intended to compete with the success of Toho's Godzilla film series. Since then, Gamera has become a Japanese icon in his own right, appearing in a total of 12 films produced by Daiei Film and later Kadokawa Daiei Studio, as well as in comic books, manga, anime and video games. The Gamera film series is broken into two different eras, each reflecting a characteristic style and corresponding to the same eras used to classify all kaiju eiga (monster movies) in Japan. The names of the two eras refer to the Japanese emperor during production: the Shōwa era and the Heisei era. In the franchise's Heisei era, which began with the 1995 reboot film Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, Gamera is portrayed as an ancient, bio-engineered creature from Atlantis, created for the purpose of defending the people of Atlantis from Gyaos, a pterodactyl which breathes a destructive supersonic beam when on the attack.

So, I've been trying to find a decent visual approximation of Gomes' lines in the Chapter 45 flashback. The Japanese uses an oddly thin font, especially compared to what his voice has been in the previous chapter. Initially, I’d thought maybe it was for surprise or fear, given he first starts speaking after being scared by that huge axolotl (and thus perhaps "Mouthbreather" appropriate), but it keeps using that same style for him on subsequent pages as well. I'm honestly not real sure what effect they're trying to have, beyond that he's speaking differently: It’s almost rendered like the “thoughts” are in previous chapters, but he’s clearly speaking aloud, and while the thinness feels like maybe he’s saying it softly, the bubbles tend to be “loud” in terms of the shape of the framing (like maybe the cave magnifying the sound of a soft voice). The text color itself, if intended, almost feels like it adds to the effect, being almost more a gray than proper black (though it could be due to how thin the text itself is).
Anyhow, I've been trying to find a similarly "thin" font, preferably with low kerning since the previous font I'd tried (Komika Hand Italic) wound up feeling extremely tight on the width. I currently have it as Otakurant, but does it quite have the same vibe as the Japanese? Or would it be better to find something a bit more "mechanical"?
>>950265
>"HISS" it is then. I dunno how she's still making that noise with Mikado choking her out, guess she's just that angry.
The way it's rendered as white text on black frame almost makes me wonder if it's more a thought of sorts than actually said, but yeah, I'd think a hiss to be the intent.

Another idea that came to me is that maybe it's due to Itoh saying what Gomes reportedly said and may be prone to being misremembered, and thus running the flashback through his own filter? Though that kind of prompts the question of if there's any other cases of such in the manga elsewhere.

{Title} Considerations about original works
Dealing with original works can be very tiresome. That is something I came to understand deeply. Creating something original is a task far from simple.
To this day I've worked numerous times in design jobs, making things the way I'm instructed to, for the most part I've been leaving the process of decision making about the story and characters to someone else. Since all I do is draw what is contained in the source material, it used to be that I didn't take the process of creating that material very seriously. I used to think of it like a mountain someone else had already climbed before, and left a roadmap behind for me.
What I failed to notice is that this "someone else" must have been an extraordinary individual. Baku-sensei overcame obstacles at great pains, that I would have meandered looking for shortcuts myself otherwise, in his quest to find something unimaginably picturesque, the more he struggles the more fun he has, that devil.
My job is visualizing through my own sensibilities another person's imagination, so for a publication such as Baku-sensei's, I need to dive into another person's brain and extract information from it. In a way it's a lot like how a Psycho Diver operates.
Among the audience who also read the source material, some people probably think the adaptation follows the original work very closely, but there are also people who think it deviates too much from that material.
On that subject, imagine for example the following situation: Kumon Hosuke and Busujima Juta are both Psycho Divers, if they dive into the same person's mind at the same time, although they will come in contact with the same information, their consciousness will each create their respective visions. It's something like that.
I believe that by coming into contact with another person's imagination, one gets to know their own nature a little better. When you look at it like that, dealing with original works can be quite interesting, even if extremely demanding. Once I'm done with this source material, I think I'll take a tea break from original works for a while. (TN: I think there's an idiom here about the tea ceremony, so I made it "tea break").
When I was drawing "Onmyou no Kami Kamono Yasunori" for another company (tankoubon volume now on sale) there were many stories I wanted but couldn't draw... but I've just recently been terminated from that magazine, in a company restructuring. Not like I'm in a condition to receive any more work though. I have an infinite number of ideas, but not enough time for them all. As a matter of fact, there's a novel I want to turn into a manga next. But I can't disclose more details without authorization. I also want to try drawing a novel from a female author at some point. And I get the feeling there's a high chance that will come from the juvenile literature field very soon.

Translation Notes
Psycho Diver (OVA, 1997), synopsis from aniDB: In a dark world of private terror Yuki, a beautiful pop star, is haunted by violent memories and discovers psychic powers she cannot control. It is up to Bosujima, a Psycho Diver with exceptional talents to descend into her turbulent soul and set things right before the inner demon triumphs. What he does not know is that there are others who will stop at nothing to control Yuki's fate and that he is stepping into a power struggle he will probably not survive...
*First pic: Psycho Diver cover
Onmyou no Kami Kamono Yasunori was written and drawn by Itoh himself, being published in 2012 by Kadokawa Shoten in it's Comic Kwai magazine. It remains untranslated at the time of this writing.
*Second pic: cover art for the single volume of Onmyou no Kami Kamono Yasunori
Itoh's next novel adaptation was likely "Tenjiku Neppuuroku", written by Tanaka Yoshiki. Considering previous remarks that the present edition was printed at least 10 years after Itoh started working on Kouya ni Kemono Doukokusu, his only title to come out after 2014 (according to mangaupdates.com) was the aforementioned one. Tanaka Yoshiki also authored "The Heroic Legend of Arslan" and "Legend of the Galactic Heroes", both titles being adapted to manga and anime.
*Third pic: Cover for the first volume of Tenjiku Neppuuroku
*Fourth pic: Tanaka Yoshiki
Kouya ni Kemono Doukokusu began being published by Kodansha on 2004 and was discontinued after the ninth volume (this one) on 2009. It was later picked up again by Tokuma Shoten on 2011, leading to its completion. That hiatus and change of publishing company can be felt in Itoh's artstyle, as you'll notice starting in the next volume and chapter.

This reads like something Itoh would write after the story got shut down by Kadokawa. Maybe he wrote himself into a corner with all the changes he made (like keeping Makura alive) and had trouble figuring out what to do next- hence the mountain analogy about meandering.
Also split into two parts because the body got too long.

Thanks. I was kind of thinking that myself, but didn't recall having seen a specific effect on the text. At least on that page, the bubbles themselves serve to differentiate who's speaking, but on the page this chapter there is no such framing effect. Personally, I'd want to be able to emphasize it, especially since Gen might well be reacting there to the change in voice and not just the words, so I guess I'd better go digging around for something that seems suitable.

Roughs for Chapter 45.
>General
Ending a bubble on “but” without a clear break (IE, comma, “…”) looks a bit off, in regard to the idea of breaking sentences into bubbles by clause. I kind of want to move the word into the bubble the contraction is in in light of that.
>p_062
“And” dropped from the second bubble in panel three, as it’s redundant with the “too”. Could also just word it in a way that makes better use of the space too, like “And un-excavated, at that.”

The fact that the sound effects in panels 2 and 4 are solely on white space would make it fairly feasible to clear them and insert actual noises into the panels, as opposed to out of panel description. I can give it a try if wanted, but I suppose it might take some doing to try to differentiate between each roar, as clearly the moonrunes used for both are comprising different sounds.
>p_066
Text adjusted to fit given space better. Otherwise the script is just too big at the standard volume that Itoh is speaking.

Script for second bubble in panel 1 adjust to better fit space. “Soil” in the second panel doesn’t exactly work when it comes to limestone, which is solid rock (formed of oceanic fossils as sediment cemented in lime as a base). “Bedrock” feels better to me than the looseness of “soil”, but I suppose it’s up to you guys, and I don’t know if Japanese differentiates between the two. Panel 3: Tikal Temple IV is a proper location name and does not need a “the” in front of it.

Running a transcription on that first roar on p_064, it’s like I can get what noise they’re going for (“Agiiru!!”), but it seems kind of hard to come up with an actually fitting word in English. And if it’s possibly more of a growl of some sort, it seems pretty loud if it can be heard at such a distance, given the birds flying off. I think I’ll just keep to the descriptions, unless you guys think having a literal reading of the noises and a side note that they’re supposed to be roars of various sorts might help readers better “visualize” (for lack of a better word) what exactly Gomes is hearing.
As to p_081, playing with it a bit more, I think the text in the bottom panel just needed to be moved over some. Wind up having to be a bit loose with the initial text frame dimensions at times when the bubble isn’t entirely in the panel, so it can take some manual adjustment after the text is inserted to feel properly centered.

>Notably, page 56-06 explicitly states that Lacandon-controlled people usually speak differently than they normally do, so the new font is already coming in handy.
Good to hear. Now if only I could figure out why photoshop is insisting that it belongs near the bottom of its otherwise alphabetized font register. Took a while to figure out where it was after adding it.

Onomatopoeia is definitely rarer in English than in Japanese, where they do it for everything (the standard example is a "sound" for silence, シーン). That makes writing out unusual roars and such look weird in English. Leaving it as descriptions is probably for the best.

Looks like the next chapter needs pages 090-091 and 104-105 stitched. Page 90 also needs the kanji in the title cleared. I'd originally thought that the gray might be a solid and thus easy to clear myself, but it's not homogeneous and instead seems to be making that color using a variety of different pixels. I suppose at the very least it's in essence a texture behind it and not actual art.

Reply to TN: Unfortunately there really isn't anything that swaps out with "Big sis", especially since it perfectly fits Andira's joking attitude. If possible, leaving at least one in would be nice. Maybe we could leave "Big sis" in the middle panel, then switch to "Mihira" for the screaming bits in the bottom panel. We could also just leave it as "Big sis" because the audience will probably understand, but relying too much on that is no good. I'm fine either way as long as we don't use the ridiculously bad "Sissy" Crunchyroll is using for "onee-sama" in Railgun T.

Few questions about 46: With the translation box for the door text, a 5 or 6 pt fits better with the size of the original text in Japanese, but can't fit the line as it is in the script like that, and even reducing the size, it still feels tight to attempt to. Would it be feasible to reword the line and retain a larger font size? I'm kind of wondering if the Japanese is actually saying more than the Spanish sign itself would translated straight to English.
Secondly, I notice that Andira's lines don't have any explicit font difference in his projected dialogue. Is the implication that he's speaking to Majira telepathically, and thus doesn't have the "rispy" voice effect he would actually speaking with his mouth (kind of odd that he mentions "frequency" though), or should this still be rendered with the doukkaku "Waroonga" font?

For the door text, the Japanese means the same thing as the Spanish, but it comes out longer if you translate it literally. Better to swap it with something usually used in English, like you did in sign2.png.
Andira's lines appear to be communication using high-frequency sound (which is also why only the Dokkaku soldiers heard the scream in chapter 57 above). Perhaps that's why it doesn't have the usual rasp, he doesn't have to force himself into human sound wavelengths. Not using the Dokkaku font was likely a conscious choice in the original, so it'd probably be best to do the same.

That honestly makes me wonder. In terms of readers and languages used, between Japanese, English, and in this instance Spanish, the only one of the three that benefits from having the entire sign translated in a complete string to their language is Japanese. Maybe focusing on just the bottom part would feel less redundant? Up to the translators though. I'd consider adding the "Solo empleados." as a note on the side or something, but given the nature of hotels and tourists, I'd kind of think the sign being in both English and Spanish was intentional as opposed to an oversight. Just my thoughts though.

Translation Notes
On the resilience of Mangakas: Houzan's references weren't that specific over nothing. He was talking about Mizuki Shigeru (Born Mura Shigeru; March 8, 1922 – November 30, 2015), author of GeGeGe no Kitaro. In 1942, he was drafted into the Imperial Japanese Army and sent to New Britain Island in Papua New Guinea. His wartime experiences affected him greatly, as he contracted malaria, watched friends die from battle wounds and disease, and dealt with other horrors of war. Finally, in an Allied air raid, he was caught in an explosion and lost his dominant (left) arm. In 1957, Mizuki released his debut work, Rocketman. Mizuki began a rental manga adaptation of the kamishibai Hakaba Kitarō (墓場鬼太郎, lit. "Kitarō of the Graveyard") in 1960. In 1965, it was renamed Kappa no Sanpei and began serialization in Weekly Shōnen Magazine, before being renamed again to GeGeGe no Kitarō in 1967.

Sorry about that, it's late.
I almost forgot to include a TN for Houzan's shout on page 16
"Chesuto" shout: Although it sounds exactly like the japanese english loan word for "chest", that's not the origin of this shout, recurring in anime and manga. It's said to have originated in the Jigen-ryu, a traditional school (koryu) of Japanese martial arts founded in the late 16th century by Tōgō Chūi (1560–1643), a.k.a. Tōgō Shigekata, in Satsuma Province, now Kagoshima prefecture, Kyushu, Japan. It focuses mainly on the art of swordsmanship.

Does the second bubble in panel 2 really need a comma?
>p_092
Gen’s shriek is rather hard to work with as far as space goes. I can try to adjust the centering for first “EE” a bit more, but being effectively multiple combined bubbles, custom centering may not look as as good as doing so for a single bubble (like in panel 2). And at present, there's not even room to add a dash there without it cutting into the "wha..." space. Also exchanged “suddenly” for “all of the sudden” to better work with space.
>p_093
Added an “alone” to Mikado’s statement about Houzan. I would assume being aware of his gut instinct is still something he can use, but that after his previous fight with Houzan he knows he needs more than just that.

Still debating on what’s the best thing to do about the sign. I think anon had a point that repeating the English part in an English translation is redundant, but I’m not sure replacing it with Spanish is the best idea. Especially when there’s the question of who that text box is meant for: Is one of the character’s mentally translating it to their own tongue (and if so, assuming English to be the stand in for Japanese, why would they read the first part to themselves in Spanish)? Is it solely for the benefit of the reader themselves? Is removing the “Staff Only” from the box too much of a deviation? Things to still weigh.
The first thought bubble Mikado has about Chan K’in there is pretty much two bubbles in terms of how it's drawn, but the overlap is such that it makes it hard to break between the two and still have breathing room, but trying to find a vertical center for the combined shape results in it looking off as well. I’ve tried to go for a balance of space between both bubbles as centering, but it might need some more playing around with.

Is that mook saying “so how about you don’t worry about us” as more a command or request in the Japanese? Just wanting to confirm if a period or question mark fits the tone more (being that technically the wording is a question with a bribe offered). I do kind of think “Muchas gracias” is probably well enough known a phrase in English to go without a translation note, but I’m speaking as an American (wherein we border with Mexico), so maybe the phrase is less commonly known in other English speaking areas of the world (Australia, for instance)?
>p_103
Is there a suitable way to rephrase the second bubble in relation to the first? I feel it being structured the same to feel slightly repetitious. Something like “while Metzabok owns the jungle” or “while the jungle is Metzabok’s domain” maybe. I suppose it comes down to how the nature of ownership is being handled in the Japanese script.

The shriek is quickly readable and sufficiently silly to match his expression, it looks good IMO. The change from "suddenly" is good too, but I think "all of a sudden" is more common.
>p_098
Repeating English does feel silly, but if a sign has English and the same English isn't in the translation, some people react like they've been lied to. Squeezing it in would be the safest move, but it looked pretty crowded back in the earlier examples you posted, so leaving it as you posted it sounds good to me.
>p_099
It's more of a command (構まわんでくれ), so the period fits. As for "muchas gracias", maybe I'm wrong but it's probably known the world over- it isn't translated into Japanese in the original, after all.
>p_103
The original actually used the same line twice (literally "X is Y's courtyard"), only switching out the city/jungle and Gran Tres/Metzabok parts, so it's repeated on purpose. If it helps, removing "while" would enforce the repetition, which might make it more acceptable.
>p_106
"At this frequency" does sound better, good stuff.
>p_107
The note does feel like overkill, I don't think his change of tone will become a specific plot point (or if it does, the author will likely have to mention it outright).
Regarding the translation, I'm going to be a bother and ask that you replace two bubbles:
>At least you got to eat one or two people.
"One or two people, (一人二人は) eating them (喰っちまっても) would have been okay... (よかったのによ…)"
It would've been fine if you'd eaten some of them though...
>You can nag on him all you want.
"A complaint (文句のひとつも), go say it (言ってやれ)"
Give him an earful.

I don't blame them either. I might knock the font size down slightly so the whole thing fits with a bit more breathing room.

I see. I might leave it as is then, as Mikado's comparing them deliberately like that.
>The note does feel like overkill, I don't think his change of tone will become a specific plot point
I'm just not sure how readily readers have come to expect Wahroonga as the render for him, as to whether not using it will feel like a mistake. Consistency and all that. Tried to pare the note down here; let me know if it's better, or if you think it's even needed.

Alright, I'm back. What a shitty week.
Still needing the fixes for the pages here >>951545 . Additionally, this line is being a pain in the ass. 6pt is the font weight that seems to sync best with the Japanese text, but the actual text, at least the way it's rendered in Anime Ace Bold, is hard to work with. Especially "psychedelic". Is there a shorter word that if not sharing the same meaning, at least carries the intent as well as manner of speech Itoh uses? Worst comes to worst, I can reduce the font size (and thus tone) to a 5 or 5.5, but I figured I might ask first if it's something you guys might have already considered as to that word being a problem to typeset. I'm guessing it's just an issue of going from something like two kanji to eleven letters.

Rearranged the structure of Itoh’s asking why women keep thinking he’d be fine eating people to survive to work better with the bubble’s frame. Also replaced the first instance of “certain” with “particular”, as that line wasn’t visually syncing very well without better ability to maintain the text’s shape.
>p_115
“Cautiously” could work better than “carefully” due to the more negative connotation working with what they seem to realize might be ahead. Doesn’t break as well visually though. “Primordial” replaced with “primeval” to give its frame a bit of breathing room.
>p_116
“Now there’s no turning back.” vs “There's no turning back now.” Latter sounds a bit more like how the line would actually be said, if you ask me.
>p_117
Replaced “And” with “Yet” at the start of the first bubble in panel three, as the sentence is contradicting the sentiment in the previous one. Additionally, does the Japanese script make any implication as to whether they mean no harm to the Caribe watching them, to the land itself, or both? Wondering if the line could be filled out a bit more with a proper subject. Also seems a bit odd that the Spanish being visually written uses full stops, while the English uses commas, but maybe that’s just me.

Itoh seems more in a panic in the first panel than an “I…I” would sound fitting of. “Comfortable” replaced with “at ease”. “Cleanly off” might work better than “clean off”. “The type of thing” inserted in place of “something” in the second to last panel.

Dashes used to add some visual order to Itoh’s stammering, especially since it takes up multiple lines each before he actually says anything remotely coherent. Nabe’s line in panel 4 slightly revised to better fit the frame.

“My bad…” might look better visually for the frame where Nabe’s apologizing, but I’m not entirely sure if it would match whatever level of politeness/impoliteness the original line has.

Some of Nabe’s “attack calling” isn’t especially easy to work with rendered horizontally, more-so as will be seen in pages going forward. Not sure there’s much of a better way to handling them though, as I don’t want to be reducing the tone they’re spoke in.

Same for Itoh’s attempt at one. Technically “Benkei Cries!!” actually can fit vertically, but I find it a bit hard to read like that (in that ending on an “i” in that font could be confused for a dash turned 90 degree).

Still trying to work out the best font for how that priest is speaking. I currently have it as Tinet, and one of the fonts I downloaded that might work better for it, Tribal Play, my computer seems to be refusing to recognize (despite having zero problems with other .ttf files).
Before I finish up with the translation notes, I want to double check that the names and such listed for it are spelled the way they ought to be. For example, the transcript has “エクチュアフ: Ek'Chuwah”, but I notice that in the actual translation going forward in this thread, you guys are spelling it as “Ek Chuah”. Or does the Japanese script differentiate between the two? Likewise, the transcript also has “Chacmool” and “chaacmol” in the same paragraph. From the sound of it, Mayan has a number of different ways things have been translated from their phonetics to western writing that can still be correct, but I’m wanting to make sure things are going to be properly cohesive in spelling for later chapters from when they’re first appearing.
Also, I saw in the TWoMR thread something about someone wanting “/animu/” in the credits revised to “Anonymous” due to the change in board. Do you guys want that applied here, or should I retain the former accreditation?

I think it can be interpreted both ways. The way adjectives work in japanese is almost too crude, piling them up. A literal translation would be something like "single amazing beast howl". Unless the Proofreader is aware of a grammatical function here that I'm not.

Wasn't the best day to work on stuff yesterday. Got the notes in progress now. Had another question though.
I got curious about the gods names being chanted and went to look up a bit about them. Is Metzabok actually a god in this context? Asking since in running a cursory search, the main result was actually a location or community in the Lacandon. If that's the case, it strikes me as giving the scene somewhat of a different meaning, like they're invoking the names of various gods to attribute the sacrifice to, and then attributing themselves as the ones seeking favor, or whatever (I'm not an expert in how it works). Granted, I could just as well see them naming themselves after a patron deity or what-not.
I'm going to guess that you guys know more on this than I do, but I was inclined to double check. Especially as I don't really recall prior chapters having given Metzabok a particularly solid definition (other than clearly being a proper noun), but I could be remembering wrong.

Metzabok is also the name of a god of rain and thunder. Most of the hits are from books but here's an article that mentions it in passing:

I've noticed this since it was first mentioned as a god, way back then. In fact, initially the notes for this chapter included my own questions about it, >>>/animu/114798 , but left it out in the end because I couldn't find a definitive answer to it. Flipping ahead in the next volumes seem to show them using "Metzabok" over and over again as the god's name too. But then in chapter 28 there's a romanized label that uses "Mensabak" in the raws. It's confusing, because te way it's spelled in japanese can't even be confused for "Mensabak", so I wonder how they came up with that dichotomy.
I saw some instances of that god being called Mensabak (spelled Mensäbäk in the wiki page), and thought that initially "Mensabak" was the original way it was pronounced, while "Metzabok" had became the name of the location. But then I also found sources calling the god of rain and thunder "Metzabok", so I let it be. If you find it interesting enough to add to a TN page though, go ahead.

Also, while looking it up again just now, I found this interesting quote from the book "The Last Lords of Palenque: The Lacandon Mayas of the Mexican Rain Forest". I believe that's Chan K'in on the cover.
>Mensäbäk is the name of the Lacandon rain god, the same Maya deity known as Chaak in Yucatán. His name comes from men (make) and säbäk (soot, black powder) and could be translated as Powdermaker. (It is said that he makes a black powder of incense soot and smoke, and his assistants scatter it on the clouds, causing thunder, winds and the rain.) The name named for Mensäbäk is the largest of three interconnected lakes, which also bear the names of Lacandon gods: Ts'ibatnah (Painter of Houses), the lord of the graphic arts; and Ah K'ak (Fire Lord) the god of hunting, courage and formerly, it would appear, of war.

Guess I'll make note of the discrepancy, though maybe in more detail another time it comes up. Kind of thought some at the very least brief descriptions of each would be of interest here though, as to what they might be hoping to bring forth, or perhaps avoid.
>Mensäbäk is the name of the Lacandon rain god, the same Maya deity known as Chaak in Yucatán.
That does kind of prompt the question of why they'd refer to the same god in two names in their chanting though. I'd think it might be seen as a risk of angering the other deities invoked that they clearly favor one of them.

Was going to ask about those. Thanks.
As a few quick questions though, I notice that the script for Chapter 48 page two mentions "torchlight", yet it seems more like a flashlight visually (compared to the actual torches the natives had last chapter). Is that a typo, or am I missing something like it being a specific style of flashlight Itoh's holding? Secondly, I've not done an omake for this before (Volume 7 didn't seem to have one, probably with the cover focus on Gen not warranting a dokkaku soldier bio as he's not one), and looking through the raws for the volume I've had downloaded, I don't see a corresponding image file to edit. Is there an upload of a base file/files elsewhere, or am I to create it from scratch?

Alright, changed it over.
Also, I’m comparing Nabe flashing back to what Itoh said some chapters back to what Itoh actually said at the time. Just from comparing the written characters, it seems like she’s (understandably) not remembering his exact words, or even his entire statement, so I suppose there’s some leeway to be had there. Still, do you guys want to give the line a looking over again with the prior English panel in mind, just to determine how accurate you want her to sound in comparison to it? Line in the transcript is
>Yucatan's limestone soil
>Has unique properties that allow it to form these structures.

When I write a female character, I just keep in mind "That's how a feline would treat a man!". So let's simply make her muscular with cat eyes! Nah, not really.
At first I wanted to evoke a feeling that her torso had more volume front to back rather than side to side, and that her shoulders would project forward, but then it struck me that if she leaned into a forward-bent posture I wouldn't be able to emphasize her breasts, also if I changed her skeletal structure too much she would lose all the advantages her human form can give, it was a domino effect.
Tigers, along wolves, are among the most beautiful mammals in my opinion. Yet, fusing that with a woman's beauty proved to be more difficult than I thought. In the end I decided to focus more on how she moves rather than her shape.
By the way, Halle Berry's role in "Catwoman" was incredibly helpful as a reference. I cant believe they gave it a Golden Raspberry Award! Halle's performance alone makes that movie worth watching! Whatever, I'm not a fan anyway.
Nevertheless, by the time I had figured out how they would look like and how they would move, all the Dokkaku Soldiers were dead already. That left me very displeased.
I left her facial structure mostly unaltered, to give her the same atmosphere of a sphynx. It seems like the Avatar effect's expression is more stable on women than it is on men. Let's pretend that's a behind the scenes' canon for now.
Watanabe-shi was also in charge of "Yamigarishi Chimera Tenryuhen" (published by this company, in Comic-Ryu, 2 volumes) back then. At the time she asked "What if the chimerification process happened to a woman?", and from that the character Rikou Kan was born. I have the feeling chimerification and "Nyonpa" . Only those that are wild by nature.

Translation Notes
Makura's sex change: Thanks to my japanese illiteracy, at first I interpreted the first paragraph here as something like "I decided to make (Mihira) a female character", which surprised me enough to go look this up. I found I was wrong, Mihira was female from the start, but I incidentally discovered another detail about Makura. We already know Makura died early on in the novels, thanks to Mikado's previous fourth wall break, what we didn't know was that Makura was a man in the novels, his sex being changed so Itoh could reference Hanumat, a character from his manga "Nirvana Panic" (right side background character in the first picture). In the manga Makura also took the place of another character from the novel, Kuno Jin, an ex-zombist who teams up with Mikado. Kuno is absent in the manga adaptation.
Yamigarishi Chimera Tenryuhen: Unfortunately this manga remains untranslated to this day, so all the references here were translated with the most superficial understanding of the therms being used. Authored by Baku Yumemakura, and ilustrated by Shuuji Kimura, this manga followed a symilar path to Kouya ni Kemono Doukokusu, being first buplished by Kodansha, it was later aquired by Tokuma Shoten. The terms "Nyonpa" (狂仏, にょんぱ) and "Chimera" (キマイラ) were pulled straight from the manga's wiki article, but seem to be too in-context to be worth translating here. Also, in case you didn't notice, the "Watanabe" Itoh mentions here is the same "Nabe-chan" he turned into a character in Kouya.

Only those that are wild by nature.

Decided to tweak the wording slightly to reflect that fact a little better. And for the record, "Otaku Rant" doesn't play nice with dashes, at least when there's an open letter like "c" before one (or I'd have broken up "structure" into two parts).

Regarding the TN "Makura's sex change", the author really does say that he made Mihira female; perhaps there are details we don't know about, but the language in the omake is clear. I'm going to chalk it up to a lapse in memory- maybe he mixed up Makura and Mihira's history- but I really don't think what's written can be taken in any other way.

With the real life time-lapse of the manga happening right around here, I really think he just forgot. The wiki article also indicates Tigi-Tigil was originally a boy named Chim, so switching genders in the adaptation was done multiple times.
You have every right to be pissed when the author/artist can't even remember the details of his own work. Reminds me of how Akira Toriyama keeps forgetting about Dragon Ball characters and shrugging it off.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll change that mention in the TN as well, but I won't mention Itoh's apparent mistake, I'll leave it to other curious readers, or in case someone decides to translate the novels by some miracle in the future.
Mihira and Makura's sex change: Finding out Itoh had changed Mihira's sex for his adaptation got me curious enough to look up what the character was like in the novels. Turns out I also incidentally discovered another detail about Makura. We already know Makura died early on in the novels, thanks to Mikado's previous fourth wall break, what we didn't know was that Makura was also a man in the novels, his sex being changed so Itoh could reference Hanumat, a character from his manga "Nirvana Panic" (right side background character in the first picture). In the manga Makura also took the place of another character from the novel, Kuno Jin, an ex-zombist who teams up with Mikado. Kuno is absent in the manga adaptation.

Translation Notes
Tigi-Tigil's chanting: Try as I might, I couldn't identify most words Tigi-Tigil said on page 14. With the few exceptions being:
• Kundu: Papuan general therm used for drum. A traditional kundu has an hour glass shape, and is made of wood with a snake or lizard's skin as membrane. A handle is placed on the narrowest part of the drum. Often, the kundu is decorated with animal figures on its edges.
• Sanguma: Means "sorcery" or "sorcerer", specifically associated with black magic. Despite Papua New Guinea being predominantly Christian, belief in sanguma is still widespread. Attacks against people accused of practicing it are so prevalent, "sorcery-related violence" has become a therm to describe this specific kind of crime.
• Tambaran: Haus Tambaran is a Tok Pisin (Papua New Guinean official language) phrase which describes a type of traditional ancestral worship house in the East Sepik region of Papua New Guinea. The most visually recognizable forms are from the Maprik area, with a tall and elaborately decorated front entrance wall where the ridge pole slopes down low toward the back of the building and the roof follows this decline and often continues all the way to the ground. The structure Itoh drew at the beginning of chapter 37 seems to be a tambaran.
The rest of the words are approximations of what I believe was being attempted to be written in japanese, so don't bother searching up those terms. If anyone is interested in looking hing them up for themselves, they are:
クンドゥー (kundu)•トムタム
サングマ (sanguma)
タンバラン (tambaran)•ニマ•チプカ
ディグダル•マサライ
ディグダル•パニガトゥム
ディグダル•マトバラナ
Koh spinning a snake over her head on page 15: Help me out with this one, anons, my memory is playing tricks on me. At first I was 100% sure that was a reference to Arale (Dr. Slump) doing the same thing to a snake in the anime. But I looked all over for it and can't find a picture of the scene I'm imagining. Now I'm starting to doubt myself, maybe it wasn't Arale who did it. But I'm still convinced it was a child character from Akira Toriyama, like Goku or Gohan (can't find any pictures of them playing with a snake like that too though, so who knows for sure).

I almost wonder if whatever release this cover here >>952707 was from had more in the way of definitions for those, the way some prints lose a fair bit of "extraneous" material to save on paper/ink. Just saying, since that's certainly not the cover to the Volume 9 I've got downloaded. Other option strikes me that even in Japan, maybe readers weren't meant to understand exactly what she's invoking there, in order to keep a sense of exoticness.

Could also be a difference of how the words were transcribed to Japanese to begin with. Does Papua New Guinea's language(s) have the ability to end on a consonant noise (IE: "-t", "-r", etc) or is it more like Japanese where it's more or less phonetic? Just wondering if going from how they're written in Japanese to English isn't putting more "noise" in there than intended. And then there's the issue that apparently Papua New Guinea has an assload of various languages, so she might be invoking things that aren't explicitly through Tok Pisin.
In any case, I found another.

Why the fuck did that snake's size surprise Mikado is he retarded or something? He just saw Noh Ek's huge panther, did he forget about that? Also why bring Charuma back? Just for the gag? Mikado and Makura both have super senses they should have been able to notice he was still alive. Charuma wasn't important to the story before, and judging from the next chapters he will continue not being important in the future. Goddamn what's the point of all that!? If I ever meet Itoh in person I'll get his autograph, take a picture with him, tell him I appreciate his work very much, invite him and his wife to a nice dinner, then I'm going to punch him square in the face.

What do you guys think is better to emphasize here with the exhaling: the strain of running that hard, or fear of the natives pursuing?

Given how ザ seems to be utilized for rustling, maybe just "rustle" again, but with a harsher font to emphasize the force/speed it's leaping of the ground with? Just my thought going off the page's visuals.
>ひゃ
>hya!
Maybe it's just me, the the second kana as it's rendered on the page looks more like that fish-looking "-u" sort of one than an "-a".

Apologies for the delay. Wasn't a very good week to make timely progress on this.

Added a note for the rustling, given the visual prominence on the page.
>p_144
“The strong smell of vegetation and damp earth.” isn’t exactly a complete sentence on it’s own. Should the previous bubble use a comma at the end in light of that, if it’s meant to be part of the same thought? "Torchlight" changed to "flashlight" for less confusion, and “glow” substituted for “light” so as to not sound repetitive.
>p_145
Replaced “on” in the second bubble in panel 2 with “upon” to avoid repetition, and “onto” in the third. “Following” replaced with “coming after” so as to work better with the bubble in panel 3.

Please double check second sound effect in panel 1. I’d like to make sure that is a proper render for it compared to Japanese. “Give out” sounds better when used in regard to legs. "No matter what” works better with the space than “whatever happens”.

Decided to transliterate the cat’s roaring on all three pages, as Nabe distinctly notes on p_154 how unusual it sounds compared to what she knows such to sound like. Also added a note about the noise apparently being the same one she heard the prior night, as it’s rendered with the same characters in chapter 47. As a question, should this be treated as one continuous roar, or three separate noises?
>p_154
Added a note, but to double check, would you guys consider it to be one long, drawn out roar the jaguar or whatever it is is making, or three distinct noises? “Big cat” seems to be more the go-to term in English, at least by my knowledge. “Human!?” replaced with “Like a person!?” to better work the space.

Nice work!
p_144: The vegetation lines are delivered like ones from a poem, literally "The strong fragrance of vegetation / The smell of damp earth". Splitting it up like that might make the fragmented nature of Watanabe's thoughts more obvious, so that would fit if you think it reads better.
p_151: SFX checks out.
p_152-154: It is unclear whether this is one roar "seen" from three different angles or three different roars. The lines on p_154 don't really indicate multiple roars, and it makes sense artistically (up close, then group shot, then distance shot), so it's probably one.
p_155: Both "instinctive fear" and "instinctual fear" appear to be used regularly, although the latter seems to generally get further explanation ("instinctual fear of heights" or some such). As such I think it reads okay.
p_160: Admittedly the original bubble was also crammed with text, since they're both comically babbling at this point. Keeping all the details ("confusing white things") is tough but slimming it down would weaken the banter.
p_168: The third "memory" can be removed since it's been established what he's thinking about:
>Or perhaps... it's been engraved in my genes since ancient times!?
p_172: Maybe
>I hear monkeys howling, but... something smells unusual!
p_credits: Please change the proofreader's listing to "Anonymous". I figure I should switch it since we're not on /animu/ anymore.

Does it at least not look too mangled given the available space though? I try to mostly keep things entirely centered where possible, but with that bubble it's kind of a mess of each line being custom centered to fit, and in a way the Japanese text being vertical isn't really affected by in comparison.
>Please change the proofreader's listing to "Anonymous". I figure I should switch it since we're not on /animu/ anymore.
Right, forgot that I didn't save the template with that change after that previous chapter. Got it fixed up proper now.

Another short chapter, and with little text. This was really easy to do all in one sitting.
>Curse master/Sanguma
Tigi-Tigil calls herself a Sanguma here, and it appears over the kanji previously used for "Curse Master" we've used previously. I went back to check if she called herself that before (maybe I missed it), but apparently not, pic related. Itoh must have done some extra research during the hiatus and decided to use it here.
CHESUTOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Here it is again. I was considering "translating" this into a more standard battle shout, but I think I'll leave it as is and add a TN to that chapter where Mikado escapes Houzan. I'll make a mention to the first time it showed up and we translated it as "Hu-rah!" too.

Work for Chapter 49: p_005 needs the title kanji cleared. However, being that the entire title seems centered in the panel for once, if anyone versed in native Japanese fonts can determine what is being used to render the “ACT49:” part, it might be better to clear the whole line of text and try to recenter the title as a whole. p_018-019 also need stitching, and possibly clearing/redrawing of the text on the right side, if it actually means anything (the transcript has no text listed for the page).

Translation Notes
Houzan shouts 唱 on page 3 (he shouts a picture! japanese people sure are incredible!) a kanji that means "chant" and, as many kanji out there, has multiple pronunciations. A less than extensive research for words containing "唱?" showed some words related to buddhism, like 唱題 (chanting the title of a sutra), 唱導 (instructing in Buddhism, converting (someone) to Buddhism), and 唱名 (intoning the name of the Buddha, chanting the name of the Buddha). In all those words that kanji is pronounced "shou", and that's why it was translated as such.

TN: here's a link on the use of カツ as a martial arts shout.
https://infogalactic.com/info/Katsu_%28Zen%29
>Katsu is a shout that is described in Chán and Zen Buddhism encounter-stories, to expose the enlightened state (Japanese: satori) of the Zen-master, and/or to induce initial enlightenment experience in a student. The shout is also sometimes used in the East Asian martial arts for a variety of purposes; in this context, katsu is very similar to the shout kiai.

Just checking in to say that aside from visual checks, base insertion for Chapter 49 and the omake have more or less been done for a few days, but I still need the redraws to complete it.
Also want to double check a few things in the meantime: Given how Noh Ek’s statement on p_026 uses Spanish (I assume) in bubbles 2-4 here, and from the raws I assume he’s doing the same for “Japanese” in the first given the pronunciation guides, would it make more cohesive sense to use whatever the Spanish pronunciation is and put a note to side as to what he’s referring to? Additionally, with the translation notes, the fourth one mentions “dream like the jaguar”. Is that a separate phrase than what you have as “may you dream of the jaguar”, or is it a typo? Asking because those don’t exactly say the same thing. Lastly, reverse searching that image of the warrior wearing a jaguar skin (I always try to determine if there’s a larger image to work with, as one can scale down and have shit look good, but the same can’t be said for upscaling), results seem to tie it more to being an Aztec warrior than Mayan, so it might be worth finding a more accurate image to the culture being discussed.
Still need to find the right size for Noh Ek’s speech in general though. The raws, assuming it’s not just the “camera” being close to him, certainly seems to make him sound louder than the others, and in some ways it’s rather hard to try to keep the visual tone when rendered as English, so I might still need to mess around with that, as to trying to decide where his “standard” size ought to be and then base his other tones off that, as he seems a recurring character.

The furigana does say "Japonés" so switching out "Japanese" works.
The jaguar line difference comes from incorporating the original ように into Noh Ek's line- this comes off as generally more formal and intonal when added to the end of a sentence, hence the "May you" addition. As the translator noted, it's stated like an often-quoted proverb/saying that means "good night" but no such saying could be found, so we're stabbing in the dark here. I'd switch the TN "dream like the jaguar" to the line in the manga.
Most of the specifically Mayan jaguar warrior images I find aren't so great; maybe you'll find some better than pics related.

Here are the fixes for Chapter 49.
For p_005, I decided to remove “ACT 49” so you could add the title first, then I would later add the missing part.
Or you could give me the name of the font used for the titles, that may be easier.

Thanks again. Still couldn't find the font the "ACT[X]:" part uses (doesn't help either that it can be very finicky trying to get my computer to let me fiddle with Japanese fonts, as I assume it's an English component of one of those), so I tried resorting to extracting the text from the background and making it it's own pixel layer. Not nearly as accurate as it probably was with just going straight up text-to-stroked like the original file would have been, but hopefully it's serviceable.
The chapter title font that's being used is Deathrattle BB at 12pt, but I'm a bit of a stickler for making sure it gets positioned right in relation to the Act number. If you want to give it a try yourself though, feel free. I base vertical positioning on where the two pixels stroke around the ACT terminates on top and bottom, and then use the left most black are of the kanji for the title to determine where the English text needs to be aligned to, as far as distance goes.

Good eye. Somehow that escaped me then, and when I did the final transcript, probably the similarity to the english pronunciation didn't trigger a switch in my brain. Better go with the spanish word, and add a side TN to justify why we're using these words here.

Translation Notes
Kinich Ahau is the Yucatec and Lacandon name of the sun god. He is depicted as a middle-aged man with an aquiline nose, large square eyes, cross-eyed, and a filed incisor in the upper row of teeth. Among the southern Lacandons, Kinich Ahau continued to play a role in narrative well into the second half of the twentieth century.

Found a correction I wanted to make myself. I forgot the adjective "(in) danger". I've been extracting as much text as I can from pages before translating them (that's been the case for quite some time now, since I started releasing once every two or so days) in order to release a bunch of pages all at once. It helps a lot with context. The downside is that after reading a first time (and not taking down notes that time) my second read-through (when I write things down) sometimes goes faster than it should as I think I've already figured out what I needed, and I end up forgetting some stuff.

“Force” fits better with the first bubble in panel 3 that “strength”. “It's not much different than pinning a man down physically.” to “It’s not that different from pinning a man down physically.

“Really though” fits better than “Seriously though”.

Given that Houzan considers “Koh” a confusing name, I’m assuming it has to do with his interpretation of it in Japanese? Might be worth explaining in a note if you guys think it’s worth doing so for. “Both” dropped from Noh Ek’s statement for space. Decontraction of “Houzan’s” to “Houzan has” to better fit the bubble.
Bottom-right most bubble seems to have the text a bit crunched in the Japanese. Is it meant to be spoken at the same volume as the one above it and only done for the sake of space? Just trying to figure out if the font size needs adjusting in the English.

Added a “folk” to the end of the first bubble in panel 4 to better fit the bubble space. “Prick” changed to “sting”, which is what’s more frequently used here (just saying as there’s plenty of scorpions around where I live). Also, is “worried about” the best choice of word there? “Focused on” seems like it would work better, but I don’t know how accurate that is to the Japanese script.

“Possibly” doesn’t work quite as well with the bubble compared to how “No, perhaps it’s…” breaks up. I don’t know much Japanese, but I can see he’s second guessing his prior thought ("Possibly..." makes it sound more like he's in agreement with "Gigantism"). Redid Makura’s first bubble to better fit the space.
>p_031
Rephrased the second bubble in panel 2 and the bubble in panel 4 to better fit the space. “Trigger” sounds better in English than “switch” does, considering the removal explosion is autonomous rather than anything Houzan has to do himself.
>p_033
“Passed by” makes it sound like avoided the area, while “passed through” fits with it clearly having been there. “Marks on that tree trunk, did something scrape on it?” to “Did something scrape those marks on that tree trunk?” “headed toward” instead of “went towards”

“I get it…” fits the first bubble better than “I understand it…”, as the latter gets congested with the text for the bubble attached to the left.

That's right. Makura speaks a lot more casually and in a dialect.
>>953948
>Does the text on the right side actually mean anything?
I'm uncertain on what are those characers. I think the second character might be 皮 but I still can't make any sense out of it. Maybe it's a very stylized way of writing the hiragana for "fuoh!" but that's also pushing it.
>>953949
>I’m assuming it has to do with his interpretation of it in Japanese?
It's just a single vocal character in japanese, こ, doesn't mean anything by itself. I think it might create confusion if used in a phrase because it get's mixed with other words. The closest to a real meaning it could have is that it's a common reading for the kanji 子 for "child", but then it's used in conjunction with other kanji to make words if you're going to use that reading, like 子供 (kodomo, "child").
>Bottom-right most bubble seems to have the text a bit crunched in the Japanese.
I think you got it just right. Sometimes handwritten text is used to convey these non-important bits or jokes, like saying something on the side. At least that's my interpretation of it.
>>953950
>Also, is “worried about” the best choice of word there?
> “Focused on” seems like it would work better
Any would fit in this case. The expression in japanese literally translates to "hold in your/my mind" and can mean "preoccupied" or "have one's attention attracted to" etc
All changes look good.
How about we try a formatting the omake page's text like a document, to fit margin-to-margin instead of centered like that? It might make better use of the space available there.

Might try something that registers hand-drawn characters and see what possibilities it spits back. In any case, it seems like it's written right to left horizontally.

So maybe he's seeing it as naming your offspring "kid" or something in his native Japanese, and thinking it would be confusing to call for when there are other children around?

Will work on that tonight.

You mean left-aligned, or maybe left-justified (maintains a "framed" feeling, but is prone to "lakes" in the text due to stretching spaces between words to fit)? I was basing it off a previous omake I saw for another volume for ideas on how to handle it, which had it centered. Of course, there's still the issue of if the bit off to side of the image is still going to look good not being center aligned (seems like a case where vertical text like Japanese has an advantage). Other option might be to extract the image and omake name at the right of it, and just recenter both and have all the body text underneath it instead.

The kanji is likely a stylized 破 (は), which means "rip, rend, destroy". It would be "ha/hah" as a strong exhalation of wind, similar in use to a kiai, instead of a laugh. Because of that, it's a lot like the CHESUTO issue (a sound with no real meaning) and might be best left as-is, or maybe a note if desired.

Translation Notes
Kukai and Huiguo: Kukai (空海), also known posthumously as Kobo-Daishi (弘法大師, The Grand Master Who Propagated the Buddhist Teaching), 774–835, was a Japanese Buddhist monk, civil servant, scholar, poet, and artist who founded the Esoteric Shingon or "mantra" school of Buddhism. Shingon followers usually refer to him by the honorific title of Odaishisama (お大師様) and the religious name of Henjo-Kongo (遍照金剛). Kukai is famous as a calligrapher and engineer. In legend he is attributed with the invention of the kana syllabary, with which the Japanese language is written to this day (in combination with kanji), as well as the Iroha poem, which helped to standardise and popularise kana. It was in 805 that Kukai finally met Master Huiguo (746 – 805) the man who would initiate him into the esoteric Buddhism tradition at Chang'an's Qinglong Monastery (青龍寺). Huiguo came from an illustrious lineage of Buddhist masters, famed especially for translating Sanskrit texts into Chinese, including the Mahavairocana Tantra.

Might tweak the line to make that a bit more evident then.

Because of that, it's a lot like the CHESUTO issue (a sound with no real meaning) and might be best left as-is, or maybe a note if desired.
I suppose the question then, is if it's what Houzan's consciousness is thinking, or meant as a literal sound (IE: something like Chan K'in's expectations/reality tearing as he tries to invade and finds that presence in him). Maybe I've overthinking it though; do kanji terms ever stand in for onomatopoeia as sound effects? Or just some sort of double meaning between how it's written and how it sounds?
Still seems kind of odd to have the exclamation mark on the left though.

Not real sure what that's supposed to be, really. Shape reminded me of that one screencap from /cgl/ that used to make the rounds nearly a decade back, and that's not especially a pleasant thing (and obviously out of the question for use here). That would also require making a horizontally distributed body for the actual credits, but I suppose I'll probably have to do that at some point or another anyhow.

Almost forgot something. There was a gag I wanted to have introduced in one of those chapters (any chapter will do). It's a parody of Kirei Cake's money begging pasta they include in every chapter (pic related). Just add in any page you see fit:
I have to stay at home everyday translating manga, so I keep my mother sick (with sublethal doses of cyanide) for fun.
Usually only 1-2 people donate per chapter at best, so if you enjoyed this chapter,
please kindly consider donating or subbing to my Patreon at KikeyCake.com
All proceeds are used to buy more cyanide and every bit counts. Thank you very much ^ ^

Personally, while the one with Mikado's reaction feels the better of the two, I'd think that if going a credits gag route, the joke ought to be (if not evident from the images themselves) understandable on its own without needing further explanation as to what the punchline is. Not everyone knows about 3DPD camwhore trends. Just my take on it though.
>Voting for third version. I wanted to keep the page's format similar to the original if possible.

>>954056
Oh, I think I recognize that pasta from reading Dai Dark recently. I don't mind the idea of poking fun at e-beggars (or Mark, as it could also be taken, aside from his mom being dead already), but would that be apt to get future chapters, if not other /animu/ scans works, barred from hosting/distribution? Just asking as I'm not real familiar with mangadex's mentality or userbase at the very least (let alone other hosting sites), and figured it's a question that needs to be asked before going through with it. Sadly not everywhere has an imageboard's sense of humor.

I'm sorry about the infrequent updates. I might check thay other kemono-esque manga someone requested in the scanlation thread, but only after I grey back into my normal routine.

Mangadex userbase has a fair share of normalfags, its mod community however is more lenient, I don't know if they're really more cool about jokes like that, or if they're just as asshurt but at least have a chill policy about content like that. I remember other groups poking fun arty Kirei Cake's begging, and even some Darling in the Franxx credits pages making "did yout know even though they only make X% of the population" jokes. So I say go for it, and if it steer some drama we can edit it out and reupload it, but I don't think that's likely to happen.

Sadly, that's an understatement. It's the very reason why I don't get cocky there and stay basically silent, I'm kinda of a hothead and when these quite literal fags pull my leg I tend to do damage, mostly collateral.

Hello everybody. Sadly the internet over here is pretty bad, I couldn't access anything yesterday, presumably because of the weather (satellite internet). Plus the speed only gets decent at night, past midnight to be precise. Gonna stay over here for the week.

Sounds similar to what it was like when I first moved to where I currently am. Shit was ridiculous with random outages and downloads being dropped all the top, unless in the very dead of night. Had to rectify it by connecting the router or modem (forget which) straight into the electrical box (which for some reason is above the door inside the closet compared to outside) compared to elsewhere in the house. Just figured I'd mention it you think it might be worth trying.

L-l-lots of st-tuttering in th-th-this chapter.
And I'm starting to hate flashbacks. Sometimes Itoh just paraphrases himself, which only makes it more difficult. But either way I go back and review past chapters, to make sure I'm using the same sentence as before.

>I still can't figure how to blend a darker page with a lighter one.
Wouldn't that be a matter of making sure the tone mesh right or something? Like, get both pages aligned on the same document, and then add a levels mask to one layer's contents and adjust it until it feels synced with the other side? Though, I suppose that's a question of what the scan quality is to begin with, and how much room that leaves to do so without the whites getting darker or the blacks getting lighter. Take that with a grain of salt though (IE: only impacting the midtone greys), as it's not something I especially have experience with.

Translation Notes
Climb Mount Niitaka 1208: On December 2, 1941 (Tokyo Time,) a coded message, ‘Niitakayama Nobore 1208’ (“Climb Mount Niitaka 1208”) was sent to all Imperial Japanese Navy units. Receiving this signal Vice Admiral Nagumo Chuichi opened a set of Top Secret documents, which told him, and those that opened the same order throughout the fleet, that on December 8 (the 7th on the Pearl Harbor side of the International Date Line) Japan would be going to war. At 3952 meters, Niitaka was the highest peak in the japanese empire, located in the colony of Taiwan. To the chinese it's known as Yushan, or Jade Mountain.

Sorry for the delay, will have the roughs for 50 up this evening/night, after I compile the usual log to post with them. In the meantime though, I do want to ask if you guys mind if we could use a different image of Pinoko for the notes page. The one given is pretty artifacted, and while I suppose it could be downscaled to reduce that, doing some reverse image searching myself to try to find a better one, by my estimate the original was a 120x120 icon, so anything bigger than that’s is still not going to look particularly sharp. See the text quality on the left vs the image quality on the right.
Or perhaps it’s only annoying to me, I don’t know.

Went digging through the manga, but it seems like the panels and pages are just too small to be all that useful for capping out of.

Roughs for 50:

“Welcome back” works a bit better with the space than just “welcome” in panel 1. Reversing the order of “by the way” and “they are delicious” makes the line sound a bit more natural, but maybe it’s just me.

Site took like five minutes just to catch up with that post. So it might take me a little to get the whole thing up.
>p_041
The line in the first bubble for panel 3 reads a bit oddly. “It’s not even two under two centimeters is size, but if it were to explode,” seems better, but that’s just me. “for a little longer” replaced with “for a it longer” for space.
>p_042
“Something along that line.” works better with the space in the first panel. “Now,” added to panel 4 so the text fits the shape a bit better.
>p_043
“pin!” to “pins!” as there’s two of them he winds up using.
>p_044
“Your performance was amazing. That takes a lot of guts.” has a hard time fitting. Reworded to “An amazing performance like that takes a lot of guts”, but if that’s straying too far, we get redo it. Reworded Makura’s lines slightly in panel 3. “served in” feels more natural for Gin to say, given the context. “enjoy” works better with the space in panel 5 than “like”. Makura’s aside in the same panel is hard to work with using the space allotted, even at a 2.5 font size. I suppose the bubble could easily be drawn just with a white brush tool if need be, but for now I have it as “I know I’m one to talk, but…”
>p_045
Added some quotation marks in panel 1, as Makura’s referring to language. “It won…” changed to “it wo…” to better distinguish Chan K’in pausing in the middle of a word, as opposed to sounding like he completed one already. Added a few words in the last bubble on the page to use the space better.

Out of curiosity, is Mikado actually saying “novelist” as in English, and not “novelista”, considering they’re in Mexico? I can see the text is still the vertical they use for regular Japanese in this manga, but thought I'd ask.

The bald grunt’s line in the first bubble feels rather tight, but I’m not sure if there’s necessarily a way to word it that won’t be, unless going rather informal (“no eating them”), but I’m not sure if that fits the tone or language he’s speaking.

This is just a technical niggle on my end, but with “howler monkeys” being being how that kind are actually called in english, can it be confirmed as to if the Japanese text is using what they call that species there, or is it written as just a descriptor of the monkey?

You're right, the suggested "It's not even two centimeters in size, but if it were to explode," reads better.

The rewording looks good and reads well. Makura's line is cramped but readable, at least to me.
>p_048
He is in fact saying "novelista" (タ instead of ト) so switching it would be fine if you think people won't mistake it for a typo.
>p_053
The grunt is being technically polite (ですよ) but rather casual otherwise. I think it would okay to go with "Remember, no eating them, First Lieutenant."
>p_056
It's 吼え猿, which in Japanese dictionaries gets translated into the English "howling monkey" but actually refers to the howler monkey as you say. Unless the translator says otherwise, switching it wouldn't be a problem (although we used "Howling Monkey" a whole bunch up ahead, so we'll be making this switch a lot).
>>954905
It's ラヒィル! which is just some really weird scream: "Rahiirrl!" or some such. It's similar to some weird screams printed before (Gomes heard an "Ahiiru" before) but I don't think it'll be important just watch, now that I've said that it'll become really important.

I'm back home now. Better internet and coming back to my routine (sort of, limited work due to quarantine restrictions) means I'll probably get back on track now. Weird how I thought that going back to the country in these times of quarantine would mean more free time, but I had to help my parents with a bunch of stuff there and ended up being very busy instead. That and the lack of internet means I have a fuckton of catching up to do both on manga and anime too.

I'll keep that in mind if I see any that haven't been adjusted. Though, to be fair, I'd wonder if Mikado ever encountered one prior at a zoo or something, so as a foreigner, perhaps him not quite using the standard term would still fit for him (and Nabe, being those that have used such thus far)? I know he's been to Papua New Guinea, but I forget if he's been to Mexico prior.

Typesetter here. I've got almost all of 51 done and about half of 52 as well at the moment. Still need the stitches and cleared title page before I can finish the roughs for the former and get them posted for QA, though.

We should be (this is the proofreader), but everyone's been slowing down a bit, probably because of coronavirus bullshit. It doesn't help that the site keeps breaking down either. Translations are pretty far ahead of typesetting right now so there's some buffer to get through.

Hey everyone, TL here. Sorry for the delay. Haven't even browsed 8kun lately.
I archive this thread semi-regularly, http://archive.is/JidzV in case anything happens to it. I'm up for making a new thread, these threads usually get heavy faster than others anyway. New chapter of The World of Moral Reversal is out too. Has been for a few days, but I just now noticed it.
