Listen, i'm glad people make fan translation to have a higher quality scan, but this is not the same.
There is no way Mitsuba would even help, you gotta use both logic and knowledge of the language to translate.
Official English translation and the translation of DBS scans

a villain’s journey
#scum villain's self saving system#svsss#luo binghe#shen qingqiu#shen yuan#finally read through the official localization.... it sent me right back to where i was when i first got into mxtx in 2019#back then my art was kind of in a transitional period so even though mxtx had me making art like crazy i didnt like much of it#and nowadays my mxtx tl on twt has all but vanished... but once again these books have rejuvenated me creatively#and i feel like ive progressed enough to do justice for how these stories make me feel. and properly scratch that creative itch#anyways. i hardly ever ramble in tags like this but im so emo about these books and i finally feel creative again#so i hope this is able to spread that joy...! sort of. ehe

The record holder for consecutive Black Flash uses, Nanami Kento, speaks It's not like using Black Flash consecutively is anything amazing. To do so consecutively more than twice in a row… Rather, if not done within the same day it would be difficult. It doesn't matter if the first time is by fluke or skill. Once they land a Black Flash, sorcerers temporarily enter a state athletes call "the zone." The manipulation of cursed energy that is normally done consciously, comes as naturally as breathing. There's a sense of omnipotence, like everything else revolves around you… That might be a good way to put it.

I've actually wondered before how well Giorno's speech pattern is even conveyed or understood, like in general across the multiple localizations, to non-Japanese speakers. Iirc a lot of the English tls don't even take his keigo into consideration, sometimes for valid reasons like lack of space for speech bubbles or lack of reading time in subtitles. However, if translated, I do think that because of the differences in how polite English versus polite Japanese is utilized, he's a lot more likely to come across as arrogant in English whereas in Japanese there's instead this odd contrast between his assertiveness and his humble politeness that really stands out. Tbh I've sometimes wondered if this is why so many English speakers call Giorno boring, like, idk, there's an argument to be made that he's more strange and unpredictable to jp readers. Also?? I forget how they phrase it but whole thing about Giorno being withdrawn or whatever that the other characters keep commenting on, I feel like that's definitely one thing that's a bit lost in translation.
Also in jp I feel like the times he's NOT polite stand out way more. Giorno spends the whole white album fight speaking to Mista in perfect keigo, life or death situation but he is still conjugating those verbs! But at the very start of part 5 he quite rudely tells the girls bothering him to "get lost" lmao
#Giorno Giovanna misogyny moments#Would be fun to make a proper post about this but I'm too tired lol#Also I do remember reading meta about this in like 2014 based on the official French tl#I think romance languages translate way better from jp in this regard and I'd comment on it if my French wasn't complete garbage#vento aureo#Jojo#Text

Cookie Run Webtoon EN TL
NEED TO SHARE THIS HERE... A few days ago Korean cookie run fandom was buzzing because 3 chs of an official cookie run webtoon had been uploaded... the pages have since been taken down (there's speculation that they might've been released too early by mistake??) BUT someone archived them so they can still be read!! And I did a (rough) english translation of all 3 chapters!!! (it was fun🥺 pls enjoy)
(Link to Ch 1) (Link to Ch 2) (Link to Ch 3)
CH 1:
note: Roguefort cookie's name in Korean(괴도맛 쿠키) is literally Phantom Thief(mysterious thief) flavor Cookie, and this 괴도 is the same thing Kaito Kid from Detective Conan is called (괴도 키드)
--
huhuhu...
(clink/jangle)
🌶:Yep, I really am a genius.
🌶: uhaha! instead of robbing a bank, it's much faster and easier to just rob bank-robbers, ya know~!
🌶:With this, my bounty will go up another level...
(chattering)
🌶: what, what's going on? (suddenly)
Reporter: As for Roguefort cookie's previously announced target, a 60 carat Yellow Diamond:
This jewel has been passed down from the Golden Cheese Kingdom for generations, and is said to be a symbol of good fortune, bringing(lit: wishing for) prosperity and longevity to the nation.
🌶: (Hmm, that's a puny gem.)
The jewel's owner adds that they will compensate the cookie who captures Roguefort Cookie, a payment of 1,000,000 coins as a reward to whoever captures this phantom thief...
(jolt)🌶: (A million coins?!)
🌶: (Then Roguefort cookie's bounty is higher than mine, isn't it!!) (1000000 vs 700000)
🌶: (THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE!!)
🌶: (I'll have the pride of a thief and steal it first!!)
(Title:) Who is the best thief?
Ep 1: Who is the best thief?
-That night
(footsteps)
🌶: WAIT, YOU THERE! (suddenly)
🌶: I heard the yellow diamond was at this mansion. Know where it is?
butler: (EEP) ch, chili pepper cookie?!
butler: This is a very tightly guarded place, How in the world did you get in?
🌶: Psh, this is mere child's play to me. (lit: chewing gum)
butler: I'm calling the guards/security.
🌶: ......
🌶: What are you doing? Roguefort Cookie. (pause)
Roguefort🧀: A sloppy disguise, I suppose.
Roguefort🧀: ...How did you know?
🌶: A thief's intuition?
🧀: Haha... how interesting.
To think you'd see through my disguise. (riiip)
🧀: Then I guess you're also aware that I have the jewel with me.
🌶: WHAT?!
🌶: HAND IT OVER RIGHT NOW!
GHH! (whish) (whish)
🧀: I wonder if you can catch me?
I am the best phantom thief who has never been caught to this day, after all~ ^^
🌶: Don't make me laugh, I'M the best!!
🧀: (heh) If so...
🧀: How about we admit that the cookie who steals this jewel is the best thief? (sparkle)
🌶: Heh, think I won't be able to snatch it from ya?
🌶: You'll end up regretting this.
🧀: We shall see.
WAIT!
!!! (pause)
(🌶) You?! Cheesecake Cookie?!
🌶: This place is your mansion too?;; (Just how many mansions do you have?!)
🧀: How did you know we were here?
Cheesecake🧀🍰: With all this terrible noise you've been making, wouldn't it be weirder to not know~?
Cheesecake🧀🍰: Apparently, it seems like you want to distinguish who is the best thief between you, but...
🧀🍰: Haven't you two already stolen all the decent treasures anyway?
Try stealing something a bit more difficult~
🌶&🧀: more difficult?
(grin) 🧀🍰That's right. If you're a real thief...
🧀🍰: How about trying to steal someone's heart?
🌶&🧀: !!!
(end of ch1)

LINK TO CH 2:
CH2:
cheesecake🧀🍰: How about trying to steal someone's heart?
🌶: someone's... whuh?
RF🧀: Heart. someone's heart.
🌶: What's so great about stealing someone's heart?
🧀🍰: Stealing something tangible is too easy~
Why, don't think you can do it?
(frantically/fiercely) 🌶: WHADDYA MEAN!!
🧀🍰: And you, Roguefort?^^
RF🧀: (Heh) ...Seems like it'll be interesting. Though stealing someone's heart is also too easy for me...
🧀🍰: huhu~ Good, good!
🧀🍰: Then make sure both of you come back here at the same time again tomorrow!
I'll explain the details then~
(slide)
🌶: ...an invitation to a ball?
(creak/screech/squeal)
(footsteps)
🌶: (Where's Cheesecake?)
🧀🍰: Oh my~ Welcome, Chili!
🌶: What about Roguefort?
🧀🍰: Roguefort already arrived first and got started~ (hoho~)
🌶: WHAT?!
🌶: They beat me to it?! I gotta start quickly too, who's my target!?
🧀🍰: Wait, before that- (snap)
🧀🍰: Let's get you changed first!
🌶: GUH? (grab)
🧀🍰: Take her to the dressing room~ (what is that state you're in?)
🌶: WHAT THE, LET ME GO-!!
(thump, crash)
UWAAAGH!!!
(title: Who is the best thief?)
🌶:Ugh...!
🌶: What the hell is this!
🌶: guaah!! This dress is too stuffy/suffocating!! (creak creak)
🧀🍰: Oh my, is that so?
🧀🍰: Hold on-- Now where would my new Chocolaté Collection be... (toss toss)
🌶: ...By the way
What are you two doing here?
🥛: A part time job!
🥛: I have to buy Dark Choco-nim's goods, you see~ (hehe!)
💪: They released new protein, so I need money! (flex)
🌶: Ah...
🧀🍰: Chili! Try this on~
🌶: Phew, I think I can live now~!
🧀🍰: It suits you well~
🧀🍰: Here, take this.
🌶: What's this? ??
🌶: A mask?
🧀🍰: Tonight is a masquerade ball, you see.
🧀🍰: Your target is wearing a cat mask.
Between the two of you, the cookie who wins their favor first will win.
🌶: How would we prove that we won their favor?
🧀🍰: You just have to receive and bring back one of their things as proof/indication of winning. (You musn't steal it!)
🧀🍰: I already told Roguefort the same thing, so you should probably get going right away?
🌶: (WHAT?!) YOU SHOULD'VE SAID THAT EARLIER!
🌶: (A cat mask she said... where in the world are you?)
🍮iii: Can't I hold that for a sec?
🧙: No.
🍮iii: just once~!
🧙: No-!!!
🌶: Excuse me...
🌶: By any chance, have you seen a cookie wearing a cat mask around here?
🍓: ! (gasp)
🍓: Huh? Uh...
I, I... (th, that...)
🍓: I-I saw someone that way... (blush~) (note: speaking formally)
🌶: (whish) Ah, thanks!
🍓: 😳.....
🍮iii: trade with meee~!
🧙: I said no!!
🌶: ! (Over there!!!)
(loud footsteps)
RF🧀: ...So as I was saying...
🌶: Hi! Nice to meet you! (whack!) (shove)
🌶: For you to play dirty and go first...
(bzzzt)
(LET'S SEE WHO EMERGES THE WINNER!!!)
🐱:?

LINK TO CH 3:
CH3:
🌶: ghh...
🌶: (I butted in all confidently but...)
(awkward) 🌶: (what the heck should I say?)
🧀: The moon is flying unusually high tonight... It must be because she is jealous of your beauty.
🐱: Oh my! 🌶(dripping down)
🌶: (Are they crazy?) (I can't say something cringey like that!!)
🍮: 'scuse me!
🌶: Huh?
🍮: She said she's got something to say to you!
🍓: U-um, well...
🍓: I-if it's okay with you... May I have this dance? (lit: will you dance 1 song with me?) (note: speaking very formally)
🌶: No, I...
🐱: My, you musn't refuse an invitation to dance, you know.
Please go on ahead! (lit: go and come back)
(zoned out)
🌶: (Dammit, I can't just leave Roguefort alone like this though-!!)
🌶: At this rate, I'm gonna lose..!
🍓: U-um, excuse me, by any chance...
🍓: Could it be that you didn't want to dance, but reluctantly agreed and forced yourself to for my sake...? (lit: ...pointlessly because of me, reluctantly came out)
🌶: Ah, it's not like that
🌶: To be honest, I don't really know how to dance. Today is my first ball, ya see.
🍓: I-is that so?!
🍓: Wh-what should we do, It's my first too tho...
🍓: I'm so sorry for making things troublesome for you...! (dashing off)
🌶: W-WAIT!
🌶: Are balls such a big deal? We just have to move to the beat, right?
🍓: B-but...
🌶: Look! Those guys are all enjoying themselves dancing, aren't they!
(🍮: You really can't dance!! (stomp stomp) )
🍓: Ah...
🌶: Let's just enjoy ourselves as well!
🍓: ...Okay!
(Wheee~) (/giggle)
🐱: ......
🧀: Pardon me,
🧀: The lobby is rather chaotic, so it seems like dancing might be difficult... shall we move to a quieter place?
🐱: Yes, sounds good. (footsteps)
🍓: Whew~
🍓: I had fun, thank you so much!
🌶: Me too! (hahaha)
🌶: (Gasp) (This isn't the time for that!)
🌶: I totally forgot I was in the middle of a bet. I have to quickly go back to stealing hearts... (whish whish) Where the heck did they go?
🌶: Hey, have you guys seen Roguefort Cookie?
🥂: Roguefort Cookie..?
🥛: Ah, I have!
🥛: I saw them go out to the garden a little while ago.
🌶: The garden?
(dashing footsteps)
🥂: Roguefort Cookie came to tonight's ball? They're not trying to steal something, by any chance...? (That was Chili Pepper Cookie just now, right?)
🥛: Ah, I heard they're doing a bet with Chili Pepper Cookie.
🥛: I encountered them while I was changing clothes... they really did disguise themself perfectly!
🥂: Aha~
🌶: What garden is this wide? (Seriously.)
🌶: Ah, there they are.

reading Kaleidoscope of Death
i'm absolutely gobsmacked at Ruan Baijie / Ruan Nanzhu
this is amazing
this experience is why i kinda like watching adaptations before reading the novel bc it's a lot more likely you'll be very pleasantly surprised rather than disappointed
bc RNZ in the drama is already ........ a lot in the shameless department but in the book????????
insane
#kaleidoscope of death#the spirealm#spirealm#ruan baijie#ruan nanzhu#i'm reading a fan TL#ive ordered vol 1 of the official tl but it arrives in december i think#if ur in the US u can get rosmei books from yiggybean btw#soup reads#soup reads kaleidoscope of death

I don't like the official version of this text. 🥲
So rather than reform it, she just made quirk counseling more accessible for people?
That's a horrible idea. Toga DID have access to quirk counseling, and it failed because it didn't accommodate her at all. The problem was never about how she didn't have early prevention care, it was that the prevention care was part of the problem. It kept trying to "fix" her rather than help her understand herself or her needs

i redrew one of my favorite scenes from the novel! they're literally so silly. it's comedy central out here in puqi shrine
#tgcf#heaven official's blessing#xie lian#hua cheng#nan feng#tgcf comic#tgcf fanart#me 🤝 hua cheng: liking it when xie lian is mean#i just love that xie lian knows his cooking is bad and actively weaponizes it against ppl lmao#this is from the end of ch 29 (of whichever fan tl i found) btw!#i refuse to acknowledge past mistakes and so i got more than 3/4ths of the way through this thing without reading the og scene at all. so.#<- has done this before and ended up making huge lore-related errors#also im gonna take this opportunity to complain: hands are so fucking hard wtf. i used references for that closeup and it STILL killed me#i looked at my thumbnails while inking and put my head in my hands

I wonder if there is a special tag for snw spirk. Like, sometimes you're just in the mood for little baby Spock and you don't want mature man Spock or total douchebag Spock, you just want soft little baby Spock but I don't know how to find spirk with specifically that Spock 🥺
#Spirk#Spock#I can feel the obsession wheel beginning to turn#Thank god because I'm close to running out of Sterek#And I usually get a break in between and I still haven't read Thousand Autumns#Or finished the official TL of tgcf yet#Although to be fair to myself I have read the fan TL and I'm just not up to book 3 again#Or book 6 for that matter

if you're localizing yuri and considering changing the characters' names to english names, consider not doing that
whoever decided changing Ji Xiao and Wei Qinyu to fucking Willow and Serena was a good idea, I hope you have a bad day

chapter 150 review
*laughs* oh this chapter. this is the day ive been waiting for since 123 dropped last year. folks its finally over. but before that lets review: augh aqua looks so tiny in the first panel....standing with bloodsoaked pants. man. he can't ever escape that hallway huh. him and goro being stuck in that same hallway from over ten years ago, still drenched in blood is so....auhg. i am so happy we're finally getting back into aquas head after *checks notes* 31 chapters of no longer being in his head! and i really love the conversation between the two of them too! it establishes a lot of what i've been thinking of how aqua views his reincarnation vs how ruby views it i.e. she is continuing her life as sarina unbroken but aqua....is a wholly different person! a year is enough time to change a person let alone almost twenty years! and how goro refers to himself as a faint wound is also quite interesting because as we've seen in c.65 and c.95, goro is used almost exclusively as aqua's vehicle of self hatred, constantly telling him he has no right to be happy or that he deserves to live unless ai's murderer is dead (put a pin in that point). goro is wound that aqua has not allowed to heal and it festers until he does. AND FINALLY. WE ARE FREE. we've never really seen aqua's viewpoint of the whole Incest Debacle apart from the very very uncomfortable faces he makes when ruby is chasing after him and that's because the very instant we get back into aqua's head he instantly shuts down any notion of it ever happening. it really is just ruby seeing the illusion of goro amamiya in him and aqua is no longer that person. anyways speaking of c.95, goro giving up here is very....eh. sure seeing sarina happy must've triggered some rethinking because she was also a major part of his guilt but. its always been centred around ai! ai's murder is the reason goro can't let go, because he was never able to fulfill his promise to protect her. avenging ai is always the driving force of whenever we see phantoms of goro in aquas head! honestly this is part of like. the story largely removing ai as a driving force in the twins lives - from decentering her involvement in their reincarnation to excising her from goro and aqua's central motivation for vengeance. but as i say that, goro has always been a vehicle for aqua's self hatred when it comes to his revenge. he is exclusively shown as a restraint on aqua gaining any sort of happiness and all his self hatred given form. but the phantom that is actually his desire for revenge, pure and unfiltered is:
and we haven't seen aqua confront him yet have we? *laughs nervously* also goro acting like an elder brother to aqua and teasing him about his crush on kana is hilarious lmfao. and handing him the knife. ha. anyways kana is so funny here. girl does not acknowledge akane as her rival in any major sense. akane is crying somehwere in the background (for legal reasons this is a joke). anyways kana slowly working up the courage to finally confess to aqua is so beautiful because she has incredibly low self esteem and to see her hope in this? after reminiscing on all her moments with aqua is really sweet. honestly a lot of aqkn romantic moments feel overdramatic on kana's end but this was. just really sweet really. it reminds of the moment in sweet today where she just glances aqua's way before the camera comes on. actually this chapter itself gives me a lot of the early onk vibes in how its written which is quite different from the tone of the movie arc which swung between comedy and almost horror. i will say i like that both aqkn think of their more normal moments in between all the dramatic ones. and god that panel of kana. shes so beautiful. i am so scared. because there is no way aqua will accept, since she is still an idol, kamiki is somewhere in the background and. well baby aqua hasn't shown up yet has he?
either way the knife is in aqua's hands now. its his choice if he wants to turn it on himself or throw it away.
break next week!

vintage shoujo becoming a "subtwt" fandom or whatever on twitter has been devastating for me to witness because the userbase of that site is allergic to reading manga so none of them actually read any manga
#like oh my god literally pull up mangadex you guys fucking suck at this#why does nobody read manga why is it all anime why do they just need an anime or an official eng tl to be validated#none of the popular vintage shoujo are manga only!! they always got an anime!!!#twitter users need to have a pfp in colour or they die

Genuine question, why is Kuukou's official translation Kuko? It's always confused me. The way they pronounce it is Kuukou
i’m not familiar with the actual jargon behind this, but, for whatever reason, the standard policy for jp↔️eng localisation is to omit long vowels sounds. like ichiro is written as ‘ichirou’ in jp but it’s ‘simplified’ to a short vowel in eng
i guess it’s bc the way the eng long vowel works is a different from the way jp’s work eg if kuukou was an eng name, since eng is the stupidest language on the planet, kuukou could read ‘coo-coo’ since the ‘ou’ can read like ‘you.’ the ‘ou’ sound can also be pronounced as ‘ow’ so eng kuukou could maybe be read as ‘coo-cow.’
except that’s stupid asf since even short vowels can sound different regardless of where they are lmao. we’re still assuming you’re familiar with jp vowels sounds to read a name so why not use the full romaji version lol???? 😭😭😭
anyway for proof it’s like a localisation standard, here’s a list of mha/bnha names that have been afflicted by that standard
those names should be ‘shouto todoroki,’ ‘katsuki bakugou,’ and ‘tenya iida’ lmao
#vee got an ask#tl standards have shifted over the years tho#like when naruto was being tled forever ago they used to use the long vowel marker#like jinchuuriki was written like ‘jinchūriki’ gaara got to keep his name etc#we also had (still do if they’re older i think) tls romanising senpai as ‘sempai’ lol#waaaaay back in the day official manga did very in tl standards from publisher to publisher and we got uniformity for ease of readability#probably lol#but like i LIKED going to the back of the manga and reading the tler’s notes on honourifics lol#i LIKED reading notes on how to pronounce things and cultural tidbits#it probably cost more to include tho so it’s whatever lol fr i get having a standard i just wish it wasn’t so sanitised lol

Omg is Yul actually inspired by LBH?
they're not! any similarities are coincidental.
now in jinwol's case he was inspired by howl from howl's moving castle. i love those books (and the movie) and i'll openly admit it JAFSJJ
#anon#ro: yul#i need to reread svsss#i still haven't read the official tls it's been years#same goes for mdzs tbh#i read it on the exiled rebels site a loooong time ago LOLOL
