Sousei no Taiga ch16

DL
It feels kind of weird to have straight-up action after so many chapters of almost slice-of-lifey exposition. Well, I think that's a good thing.

Ganbare! Memeko-chan ch41

While not a royal wedding, to a Munko fan like me it might as well be. Congratulations!

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch33

DL

Oh boy, where do I even start? Just about everything in this chapter was cut from the anime, even some pretty important stuff. The one thing non-spoiler thing I'll say is that the "Yude Theoretical Physics" which Kanmuri mentions is actually a real term in the otaku community ("Yude" coming from Yudetamago, the authors of Kinnikuman). Öyster really does like his Kinnikuman references, this is the third one in the series thus far.

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch32

DL

In this post-"keeping up with the anime" world, I can now talk a little bit about what the anime cut out from each chapter. Not much was cut here, except for some extra dialogue from the Dragon Demon Lord.

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch31

DL

Well, the anime just completely obliterated the head start that I had by cramming this entire arc into a single episode, but hopefully y'all will keep following along anyways. So much material was cut anyways that it might as well be a completely different series anyways, haha.

Sousei no Taiga ch15

DL

This is apparently my 200th release, so that's neat. Still trying to get to 365 like I wanted to last year, haha.

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch30

DL
When originally reading this series, the quiz questions were probably the first time where I truly thought "I wanna translate this." I have to admit that I don't like this arc very much, but like the previous arc where I said that, there's enough funny and endearing moments to make up for it.
Also, Vernois's "Let's save why we're fighting for later" is another reference to Battle Yarou.

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch28-29

DL
Now that Subaru is settled into the cast, it's about time for another story arc.

P.S. The "Become A Master" part of chapter 29's title is a reference to the Kinniku Shoujo-tai song "Battle Yarou," which was used in commercials for the original Super Famicom release of Street Fighter II. The author makes reference to the lyrics of this song multiple times during this arc, so I'll be pointing it out every time simply because I'm a little proud that I was able to figure out the reference, haha.

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch27

DL

This was pretty good for a stand-alone chapter. I think my favorite moment is the callback to chapter 15 (though in hindsight I wish I translated it in a way that fit into this chapter a little better, haha).

My Home ch32

DL
Some interesting backstory this time. Just like with Memeko, I'm glad that this series can take itself seriously when necessary.

Ganbare! Memeko-chan ch39

DL
It's interesting that Kyousuke is getting so much development. I guess it makes sense to get to know the family before the marriage.

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch24

DL
To any Catan nerds out there: while the art is for the card Haruto is using looks like Year of Plenty, the text on the card is in fact for Monopoly (the fact that he states a resource name like Monopoly's effect corroborates this). I didn't mistranslate it or anything!
Anyways, even though this is a Subaru chapter, one of the best parts is Nona's facial expressions. There's an absolute gold mind in this chapter alone.

A new volume and a new character, all in a much higher resolution now. Enjoy!

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch21-22

DL

Okay, that's the last multi-release for a little while. I'm mentally exhausted... It lined up quite nicely though, since we're exactly halfway through now. I'm going to wait to upload the complete volume 2 until the anime gets to this point, just in case I messed any lines up. There's a lot to talk about in these chapters, but I'm just going to leave it at that.

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch18-20

DL

Your eyes do not deceive you. Yes, this is a triple release, 40 whole pages long. The reasons that I teased for busting my butt off on these multi-chapter releases is because I'm trying to keep up with the anime adaptation, which has a penchant for cutting a lot of content, and this streak of chapters feels like it could be severely cut or omitted entirely. Also, I really didn't like this arc when I first read it, so I wanted to get it over with ASAP. It's grown on me a bit since I translated these chapters though (there's just too many hilarious and endearing moments).
In any case, I'm hoping to get one more double release out next week, and then I'll be back to single releases for a little while.

It's been a long time since I did a double release of this series... And they will most likely continue for a little while longer for various reasons which may be self-evident, but I'll expound upon later. In any case, you guys as readers benefit. Enjoy!
