Gintama 551

I was gazing at you from behind
For a long, long time, I relied on your back
The place I’m at is always a temporary one
And I run, and I run, away to a dream world, holding tightly onto your voice

Friendship and love and purity that had a dark side
has quickly rebuked my naive perception of myself

Ah, what do I do now?
There’s no way you would ever like someone like me

You’re so kind, always so truly kind
You’ve looked at me for a long, long time, haven’t you? I remember the warmth of your body

TV, sex, and rock and roll
are tangled inside my head

Ah, my heavy, gooey heart has been dragged around
but my body is tough, so I’ll laugh today, too

Without taking in the good or the bad,
I desperately searched for things that were never there at all

Ah, what do I do now?
There’s no way you would ever like someone like me
Ah, my heavy, gooey heart has been dragged around
but my body is tough, so I’ll laugh today, too

No matter where walls may block us, we’ll live on fumbling along.

Notice: There’s no Toriko in Shounen Jump this week. It wasn’t announced in advance, they said in this notice that it’s because Shimabukuro-sensei got sick and couldn’t finish the chapter in time. It should be back next week (which is Shounen Jump issue 2015-33).

Gintama 544

In the orange twilight, a shadow that is far too long silently drags from my heavy feet.

We managed to get this one done really fast, too. Mostly because it has so little text. Keep in mind though, just because a chapter has little text doesn’t mean it’s easy. The wording has to be a lot more precise when there’s very little text in a chapter. Because there’s such a focus on those few words. And manga like Gintama tend to use a lot of flowery language and metaphors in these sorts of chapters. It takes less time to type out, but requires a lot more effort in checking than do the chapters with tons of gags because those usually are fairly straightforward, even if they do have the comedic timing aspects and all that which can be really hard to translate accurately, too. So it’s a different kind of challenge with these.

I finished releasing this on my train ride home from work, because I’m not gonna have any time after this today. Hope you guys enjoy it. This chapter’s a… yeah.

Edit: One of the bubbles on the first page disappeared somehow. I have no idea. Anyhow that’s fixed and the links are updated.
