Whew! Here’s 45, I’m beat. Ya know this series is seriously hard to translate and I hope reading this folks can kinda see why. It’s a lot of wading through a lot of conversations about abstract nebulous ideas and trying to make sense of them in a language that doesn’t require noting the subject or topic of the sentence. Especially with in-media-res conversations and when word bubbles are just stuck on a page with no clues as to who’s saying what. You need to a ton of careful parsing to find the common thread of the theme or the unsaid-ideas in order to be able to understand what’s actually going on in order to create anything like a coherent translation. Also this had nearly the most text of any chapter in this series. I’m exhausted! I hope ya’ll enjoy it because it’s definitely a good chapter. See ya same-ish time next month.

Also, we have a new Discord! Come hang out and talk about manga. https://discord.gg/fxrmZufp
