Hello, how are you? Sorry if I'm bothering you but do you mind if I ask which translation of the last tg chapter is more accurate? Or whether we would get an official translation sometime soon?
I’ve read both english translations (mangastream and jaiminisbox) aswell as the chinese one and I’d say for this chapter, the chinese TL is most accurate? I don’t know for sure since I don’t know japanese and I don’t have the raws either. It’s rly just me comparing the scans and also judging by what reads itself best/makes most sense. Generally speaking, it’s always so that each have their fair share of TL mistakes and sometimes this one is more accurate, sometimes it’s the other.
I occasionally double-check the english scans with the chinese ones when something was worded weirdly or unclear bc english and japanese are two very different languages so often times it’s very difficult to translate/there’s no direct translations while chinese is rather similar language. Many things can be translated directly from japanese and i.e. kanji is basically traditional chinese (i.e. when I read kanji, sometimes it’d sound weird as we wouldn’t phrase things like that/use different wording, but you generally will understand the meaning just fine.)
You'll have to wait longer for the official release of TGre. The English volumes are quite a bit behind. And official translations are probably the worst from all translations from my personal experience.
