i love the new translator. theyve upped the accents a notch (bit of a giggle when i read "ya srs") but it still sounds natural. the previous translator was excellent too.
hi scanlators, i translate japanese and what shuu said was:
hawks no yurai
ojiisan ga ソXトバXク no ファン (fan) dakara
i intuitively guessed that ソXトバXク = ソフトバンク = softbank
Hawks' origin is softbank...ok.... so i looked up hawks softbank and found the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks Baseball team
so shuus grandpa named his dog after the baseball team. a hint that a passion for baseball runs in his family
hope this helps, any questions let me know
Thank you for confirming! Someone from Mangadex said the same thing so it’s basically “Because Grandpa is a Softbank fan”. I apologize to Shuu’s grandpa for making fun of his bald head ╥﹏╥
ive just read this manga at a time in my life where i really need it. lately ive been struggling with expressing myself, and what it means to be a woman. i want to dress up and look cute, wear makeup more, and get better at cooking. the idea feels so liberating.
one thing thats held me back is...who am i doing that for? lots of media shows me that women do those things for men, right? and i like men, so i must be doing it for them, right? i have these questions and whilst i know in my heart that i dont want to do these things for men, i havent really seen anybody say that its OK for me to do these things because i like them.
so i thought i was lying to myself for wanting to do traditionally feminine things for my own enjoyment. when, actually, fashion and self presentation and cooking are simply human things. they can be sources of joy. this manga has told me that its okay to do things because i like them, forget gender.
ash: im not a fan of the colour red
lyle: oh...
lyle thoughts: huh? how did i not realise? but i wear red sometimes...does ash hate it when i wear red? will he hate me if i keep on wearing it despite what he said?
(4 brooding chaps later...)
ash: so in my work i tend to design with blue-based tones in mind
lyle thoughts: so will he hate me if i keep on wearing red or not? ive misunderstood all along. ash wants somebody who agrees with his tastes and im not able to do that...
(this leads to lyle asking for a break in the relationship so he can take time to work it out. without asking ash though because he cant know that he wears red)
lyle: im sorry ash...i cant make you happy...
lyle thoughts: i cant give up the red handkerchief from my grandma...she means so much to me
ash: i see...but i can make you happy
lyle: but i cant make you happy because...i...
(runs away)
(2 brooding chapters later)
(lyle is gripping the red handkerchief whilst crying in his bros house)
ash: *panting* lyle...where did you go? tell me whats wrong
lyle: ash...i...
(handkerchief drops to floor)
lyle: its red ash. im so sorry...*sobs*
ash: if its yours, i love it. why is being red a bad thing?
lyle thoughts: because you said you dont like it
lyle: because it shows how im unworthy of you...
ash: i dont know whats going on but youre beyond worthy of me, lyle. im the one shooting out of my league for an amazing guy like you
lyle: but...
ash: let me show you what "red" means to me when it comes from you
(they go home and do the bow chicka wow wow and ash bites lyle which draws blood)
ash: even your blood is sexy lyle. a deep sexy red
lyle thoughts: hes just placating me...but...
lyle: thank you...
(lyle tries to put it behind him but nevertheless broods for 5 more chaps until ash comes in wearing red tie one day)
lyle: ash! i...i thought you didn't like the colour red
ash: yeah, im not a fan, but this was a gift *smiles*
lyle thoughts: a gift...from who? who could ash be so close to as to wear the colour he despises with no issues?
(lyle wells up in tears)
ash: whats wrong lyle? i hope those are tears of joy. i finally found the tie you gave me as a gift. i thought i lost it and i was so embarrassed. i couldnt tell you. im sorry if you noticed and thought i wasnt wearing it because i didnt like it. i love it. i love you.
lyle: but its red...
ash: yep, you have a good eye for colour
lyle thoughts: but you said you hated red...
lyle: but...
ash: whats up? *strokes lyles face*
lyle: i dont know anything about you. i got it all wrong
ash: huh? what are you saying?
lyle: you said you hated the colour red!!! *sobs*
ash: i dont remember saying that...a designer excluding colour is like throwing a precious tool away
lyle: but--
ash: but i have to admit my weakness is working with red. blues are my safe zone. yet you gave me this tie and it suits my colouring perfectly. im thrilled, thank you so much
lyle: oh...
(bow chicka wow wow commences)
what i am trying to say with this is:
plz let lyle reflect and learn author nim...or else even stupid things will end up being huge stories that are draining to read...like this......
surely by now he knows that he can say out loud some of what and how he perceives the world...how else will he be able to communicate and understand others over the voice in his head?!
I LIVE LAUGH LOVED UR FANFIC and its so true esp the chapters part
HELP MEEEE
N9t you writing a fanfic in the comments! But you are right tho Lyle will spend so much time in his head I kinda want Ash's pov just to see how silent and confused Lyle be all the time
BOW CHICKA WOW WOW

IM CRYING
Hahaha best comment EVER, so on point lmaooo

hi i was the translator for chapter 3-11 but my partner quit around the time of ch.3.
heres the link to my translations https://rasher-translations.tumblr.com/post/190024821624/scripts-sayonara-otokonoko-by-shimura-takako
i have no intention to continue the series, but if youd like to use my translations for scanlation: you can as long as you credit rasher with a link to my tumblr :p
Tq!!!!! Someone, please help us
Do you plan to continue the series? I only have a little experience with cleaning and redrawing but I would like to help
(￣∇￣")
i have chills man...im so excited to see this play out. i cant remember the name of the MP but i love how so far its been snippets of how his treks play out.
i love the idea of the checkpoint power since it takes a lot of forethought and consideration regarding when to use it. the biggest 'weakness' is making a checkpoint too late. why not make one every hour then? that results in making loads of checkpoints- but you can only go back to the most recent one. so im glad that the MP has come to yuju for help on a solution. i think that his power is one that works best in a team, but he cant risk trusting others willy-nilly.
so now a liability is his trust in yuju. yet, i think that hes right to trust her. the end of season 1 showed that the MP was losing psychological strength from having to relive a disaster that he couldnt solve so, so many times. yuju helped him to look outside of the box in a way that you cant do alone especially when time only goes forward.
yuju helps him, but she could still turn against him, right? considering that yuju found out about the MPs power earlier on in the series (as we're reminded of in season 2 ep 1 she can detect when a checkpoint happens) it suggests that shes not tried to betray the MPs secret since. im glad that theyre a team; its like they share the power, albeit unbalanced.
more than what id like to admit of myself is scared that our protagonists will have a romantic relationship that will absorb and rupture the whole story. however, i have faith that the author can write a healthy relationship that perhaps can even enhance the overall problem-solving that revolves around setting checkpoints as it has so far.
thank you so much for the scanlation too :) please make sure to take a break.
this is edgy farcical trash. all the author is doing is projecting their desire to be saved through romance and other people being way more concerned with them than is realistic. im embarrassed to have even tried to read this, so ill stop here.
Perhaps the problem lies within you and not in 'edgy farcical trash'. The wording made me wonder what types of stories you enjoy and what makes those "less edgy" than this one. I am not surprised to find that most of them are simply about sex. I am not judging you simply wondering why you decided to go into a comment section to make someone feel bad about liking this, because as you call it it's "embarrassing".
hey man, thank you for your thoughts on my thoughts. i think that the edginess lays within the storys dramatically anxious characters and the creepy romanticism of not using words to communicate when they are needed. i feel like the characters are very angsty.
i do not like this story one bit. it ticks all of my "dislike" boxes. it frustrates me to have read it. however, i do not think that my opinion reflects on people who are interested in the story and enjoy it. i wanted to express my feelings because that is what this work evoked from me. in that way, i like that this work exists because it has made me think and feel. in this case my feelings were negative, and i think that its okay to express that as long as i am not attacking anybody. i am sorry if it came across like i was attacking you for your opinion on the story.
whilst you say that you arent judging me, you seem to imply that im shallow and dont have the capacity to understand complex stories since i read things that are "simply about sex". on this website i have read over 900 works that range from simple porn and smut to complex explorations of self-identity and the meaning of life. my favourite genre of books is murder mystery (i love Agatha Christie). im happy that i am able to explore a different range of genres depending on what i want at the time. i would like to recommend you some of my favourite titles if you would like to receive them.
once again, i would like to make it clear that i wanted to express my feelings about this work. it is not what i think of other people.
Appreciated. To be real honest I just wanted to see if you'd get defensive, I am pleasantly surprised. I thought you were implying that everyone who reads this should be embarrassed about it, glad I misunderstood. It's good that you can back up your opinion and even though I don't quite understand you completely, I think it's interesting. I will read your favourite story, our tastes seem to be opposing but it's kind of fascinating to me.
thanks for trying to understand me man :) it goes a long way.
here are a few of my recommendations. no need to follow up on me with any of them but if you want to send me your own recommendations i would be very pleased to receive them.

and if we're talking agatha christie...it has to be poirot!
ive never had a partner but i think that i have a biting fetish. this story has reminded me that sharing your fetishes and guilty pleasures is the same as opening up your chest and showing your heart - the person who sees that is somebody that you want to trust. for them to reject you for something so 'you', would be like stabbing you right in the heart that you chose to expose.
another homerun by yoshii haruaki...i absolutely love this manga.
