I assume you noticed that I posted chapter 11 of it the other day, then deleted it. And likely figured out why - because I only read it after I posted it, and the translation is so awful that I couldn’t in good conscience leave it up. And I didn’t even bother with chapter 12 - I just read enough of it to find it was the same.
A lot of the problem though isnt just that the translation is poor - it’s that that particular manga needs a good translation just to work. Since so much of it is centered around duplicitous supposed friends, much of the conflict is communicated by subtle things the characters say, or notably don’t say, to each other. It’s all little digs and innuendos and passive-aggression, and all of that gets lost with a poor translation.
So I’m waiting and hoping for a better one.
And that’s part of the reason that this one is okay. It is at least a bit better overall, but also, the dialogue and thoughts are straightforward - it’s not people playing complex mind games, but just Hiiragi witnessing her own life. So even when the phrasing isn’t quite clear, we can work out what was meant, since it’s simple and earnest.
I thought to mention those too.
