THEYRE COMING BACK!!! ACT OUT! IS GETTING A NEW EDITION AND MORE IMPORTANTLY ITS GETTING A NEW SERIALIZATION IN HANAOTO MAGAZINE!!! THEYRE GAY!!!
….just so we’re clear, Sylvia is almost absolutely a horse or some kind of other mount. 100%
I think the same.
or his sword.
no matter what, if at all, the problem lies with the person who described Sylvias "seductive curves".
That's the one with the problem.
Everyone else just runs around in circles.
whoever the adaptation writer is (too lazy to recheck) they are making…choices…everything not only made much more sense in the novel it was also just more exciting
does the novel have eng trans?
ikr!! the gunfight, the car chasing, the suspense ahhhh
….can we please pay at least a little bit of attention to actual demographics when tagging series? this is a harta series meaning it’s a seinen manga. Lumping any and all gay content into bl & ignoring their actual classifications in Japan is how we get lazy and disrespectful shit like putting a shojosei with a trans woman lead in the bl categories on this site
seinen manga can be BL also it's tagged in MAL and Baka update as BL can you chill? why do people hate BL so much that they get triggered that a gay romance tagged BL
also, it's sub-tagged as BL on the official website that serialized the manga
Proper tagging of series’ genres & categories is just a nice thing to have, especially because it helps set realistic expectations. This is especially great to have in an environment where people go overboard when things don’t go how they expect them to. This has nothing to do with being “triggered by” or “hating” BL.
For example, because The Summer Hikaru Died was marked as BL on here & other aggregator sites, a good number of people got extra pissy at being “deceived” and “baited” when the author stated “Hikaru” wasn’t capable of/doesnt understand romantic love (which he wouldn’t, being an eldritch-esque horror that took over a dead boy’s body) none of that nor the seinen rating negate the queerness of the series, but because it was tagged as BL people got expectations that were clearly misled. The Summer Hikaru Died is a hella queer series but it’s not a romance. They were never going to end up together because Hikaru is dead and whatever took his place as “Hikaru” can’t stay.
And here. So far all we have is that Atami is gay. There’s been no indication thus far (and really, at all) that this is a romance, and yet, because of the bl tags and Atami being gay…there’s already a biased expectation that it is one?
if the official website that serialized the manga in English Subgenre it as BL then it's BL and they had LGBTQ tag which means they didn't need to tag it as BL. The Summer Hikaru Died problem was that my anime list made a mistake, I really think people misremembered it, the official website never had the BL tag it was MyAnimeList that had that but ended up removing it. and I don't think this manga will get a lot of hate if the character doesn't end with anyone for example, Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai VS Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko is really popular and it's not BL and it's tagged as shounen-ai but people still love it, also She likes Homos, Not me is another example the main character didn't end with anyone but no one was pissed at that. also, the difference between this manga and The Summer Hikaru Died this character clearly gay on the other hand The Summer Hikaru Died you have to pick up hints that homophobes can dismiss, also yeah I agree making the MC end up with Hikaru is weird but I can see why people were disappointed; so I really don't think this manga will get hate also, having shounen ai tag is good it will make people reading the manga rather it collecting dust.
? A cursory glance at KADOKAWA’s comic walker (linked from the harta.jp website) only brings up Seinen, Seishun (aka spring of youth) & School. Renta brings in human drama, and CMOA is pretty liberal adding in Love Story (interestingly no romance tho). I can’t speak for the English sites (yen press?) that I assume you’re looking at but i will say localizers occasionally add genres to works if they think it’ll help the comics sell or make it more palatable to their audiences.

an official website that translates manga and then prints it won't tag stuff that is not there, it's like saying l*zhin English can put something, not BL then tag it BL also it has a romance tag also did you read the manga?
This site uses made up categories like “shounen ai” and you expect them to tag like the Japanese industry? This is just a scraper website, they don’t know any of that
I know next to nothing about Kaiser except he’s an asshole and [redacted] but by god does “your very existence has ruined my fucking life” in this context hit it does things to me it’s soooo fucking good
…I could tell it was gay-lesbian hostility (solidarity) but wow that whole situation has to hurt
Please I’ve seen it too many times already can cn>en translators learn what what white wine in English means before 1:1 translating 白酒 into “white wine” when Actual white wine would be 白葡萄酒 THESE ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT TYPES OF ALCOHOL WITH VERY, VERY DIFFERENT PROOFS we’re talking 11-14% (白葡萄酒/what is commonly referred to as white wine) vs a whopping 35-65% (白酒)
You can literally leave 白酒 in pinyin it’s ok to do that it’s /better/ to do that actually
To be honest, I personally have similar issue while translating some dishes or beverage. One of them is 酒 in itself is practically wine/alcohol in Noun. But as we know wine can be made by many ingredients, grapes, apples, anything and it's still called as 'wine' if use sugar content and yeast fermented cmiiw
If I understand correctly though '白酒' is made of rice or grains, and without dilution it will have a whooping 40-60s% alcohol in it. But then there's also rice wine (for example Makgeolli 막걸리) which commercially marketed with less than 8% alcohol.
白葡萄酒 that you mentioned also come in many percentage of alcohol range, I think by 40% alcohol it might be called brandy 白兰地酒 or tequila 龙舌兰酒 55%, rather than the standard wine with 20%. Distillation, dilution before commercialized, and stuffs.
(damn I sound alcoholic at this point am not, I have GERD. I did sip a bit if have chance and GERD not acting up)
So, long story short, I don't think it's that bad to translate it in English as 'white wine'. Perhaps just need to specified what wine it is. Cooking wine, grape wine, etc. Or in the case, some website couldn't accept other character than what you have input, so adding the pinyin like (báijiǔ) after the translation 'white wine' should do the thing
look all I’m getting from this is that she’s boob height
ohhh this is gonna hurt (it already hurts) I’ve been mega interested in this since I first saw it on twitter and I’m no at all disappointed this is incredible so far. Takana’s emotions and her desire especially are so raw…Ema seems to also have not completely able to come to terms with the past, and I’m hoping (though it’s damn slim, poor dude) that her marriage is a lavender one, but that probably won’t be it. he seems like an actually good decent guy so fingers crossed, especially that it won’t be messy for everyone’s sakes
I’ve been rereading the ln recently and wondered how the manga was going bc I remembered it adding in stuff but….this is just a completely different story???? wtf??? I get that the ln takes a much darker turn especially in volume 3 but that’s what makes it GOOD especially the parts covering violette’s complex relationship with her gender & body as a result of the abuse she endured from her mother and yet…this “adaptation” seems to be flattening those parts while adding in more parts for Claudia (who very wisely GIVES UP in ln3 aka around where the updates for this manga are at) and adding in love triangle drama for the sake of it??? if the light novel is violette’s story as a survivor of what was essentially csa then this manga is,,,a poor imitation of a romantic drama…just read the light novel it’s officially licensed and the translation is complete and you can definitely find it on like, zlib
Can u elaborate me more on the csa part?
so at this point you should know that her mother was absolutely obsessed with her father yeah? and that when violette was younger she was essentially raised as a boy because she looks so much like him. put two and two together, and you have this hellish environment where violette was being subjected to her mother’s…fantasies, shall we say. the ln never quite goes into the extent of the abuse, but it was enough to scar both violette AND Marin (who was just a witness a few handful of times) for life. its never elaborated as to how far bellrose went either, but violette was definitely not able to wear short sleeves because of her mother’s nails. even if it never went further than her face and arms I would argue it’s still molestation and thus csa and of course it was 1000% emotional incest
Damn thank u for letting me know, thats absolutely horrible and it's sad they didnt showthe depravity of the situation in the manga
