Sousei no Taiga ch25

DL

And we're back... IRL issues derailed my scanlating inertia, and while I'm not back on track just yet, I got this chapter done at least. Apparently it hasn't been a whole month yet, which means that technically I haven't fallen behind since the series is monthly. Not much actually happens in this chapter since obviously Taiga has to cope with the events of the last chapter.

Now the question is, when will I finish the next chapter? Unfortunately, it's probably going to take more than a week, because I have all my other series that I need to get back on as well. That being said, there's no way that the next chapter will be as time-consuming, because this chapter had an obscene number of redraws. So sit tight, and hopefully it's sooner than later.

The only word which isn't outright explained is "sawa," which just means "yes." Though at this point there's more dire priorities in the story, eh?

You know that feeling when you're watching anime, but have to stop because you know something embarrassing is going to happen? That's this. I hear the cool kids call it "cringe" these days.

I've had no problem with the plausibility of the series so far, but for some reason, Taiga inventing dogs just feels extremely convenient. I'm still able to suspend my disbelief, but it's hard to ignore.

DL Maya
You're in trouble, Maya-san. Or should I say, urine trouble?

As always, the word list for Taiga is after the jump. Unfortunately there were two words I couldn't figure out again.

I started browsing online and wasted a bunch of time while I was supposed to be typesetting this chapter of Maya-san. Hashtag relatable.

Back to Taiga, this chapter didn't have much dialogue from Tiari, but there was enough for a word list after the jump

Man, this really is such a weird juxtaposition... I'm only releasing them together because they're the series that I post on my Patreon page a little early (nice plug, haha). Anyways, the word list is after the jump, though unfortunately I wasn't able to figure out two of the words.

It's funny how Taiga is being so whiny even though it's clear that the girl knows what she's doing. It's like he turned into Ren or something.

Once again, a word list is after the jump for those curious what she's saying.

The picture is from Maya-san, but I'm only going to talk about Taiga. This multiple chapter thing is weird...

We're finally at volume 3, and that is a very emphatic "finally" because this is where (in my opinion) the story actually becomes interesting. I'm an absolute sucker for interactions involving language/culture barriers, and reading these chapters over a year ago is the only reason why I picked up the series in the first place. Well, more specifically it was because the dialogue from the girl is in fact comprehensible, and I didn't want another group to unknowingly butcher it. You're not supposed to be able to understand what she's saying, but all will become clear after the jump...

Well, I'm picking up a new series. This is one that I'm really excited to be translating, and I think that fans of Munko's work will be able to appreciate the short slice-of-life comedy format. There isn't much to say just yet since it's only the first chapter, but I hope that you will enjoy it.

Also, now that volume 2 of Taiga is done, I can finally hop into volume 3! I have to admit that volume 3 is the only reason why I picked up this series in the first place, so I'm also very excited to start work on it.

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.

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

Heh, even Ren gets character development than Yuka.

Remember Taiga, bros before hoes. Also, sorry that the image quality is kind of crusty, but that's just how the ebook for this volume was. Thanks Kodansha.

We're on to a new volume, but it's still business as usual for now. I'm looking forward to things picking up as much as you guys, though at least I actually know when that happens, haha.

Also, I released chapter 11 of Taiga early for supporters on my Patreon page, for those interested in getting a little ahead in the story.

And with that, volume 1 is complete. The download for volume 1 will be available on the projects page shortly. Not much to actually say about this chapter, so enjoy.

This time it took a month to get this done, which feels appropriate now that the series has unofficially changed from twice a month to once a month in Japan (probably due to Mori-sensei starting the Suicide Island prequel series). While a lot happens in this chapter, the fact that it's literally titled "Neanderthals" might ruin a bit of the suspense, haha.

All the sources I found said that cave bears were primarily herbivorous, but since bears are omnivorous in general I'm not questioning Mori-sensei here. There's actually a list of sources at the end of the book, so perhaps they're worth taking a look at (rhetorically, because I'm not gonna track down a Japanese reference book just for a single tidbit about cave bears, haha).
In any case, this chapter ends on quite the cliffhanger, so I'm not going to disappear for another 9 months again or anything, I swear!

Nothing like almost getting eaten by an alligator to lighten up the mood.
P.S. The actual English name of the tortoise mentioned is the African spurred tortoise, but that would probably give people a stronger idea of where they are than it did in the Japanese, so I conveniently left it out.
