The best way to read and understand a work originally written in a language you don't know is to have at least 2 different translations and for every translation have at least 3 pissed-off fans who think it sucks and will eagerly tell you about all the nuance in the original the translation failed to capture.
#me kicking my feet listening to ppl complain about the bnha official translations#also me putting the 7seas and exr translations of mdzs next to e/o and studying them like i'm a lawyer doing a cross-examination#i'm not saying this is the most ENJOYABLE way to do it.#just the one that will serve you best if you have brainworms and want to minmax your understanding of the text#but don't have the time to learn a whole new language for it
