i totally agree but lots of people were out shoveling the snow. Maybe my brain just works different bc I was born and spent half my life in Colorado. if it ain’t a huge snow drift, it ain’t worth shoveling lol

It reflected badly on us to the neighbors because they decided to do it for us. So even if she has to use a frying pan, she’s doing it herself this time. 🫠

Snow piled up here in Chiba for the first time in a long time. it almost never does so we don’t have a snow shovel. I hear a weird sound outside and peek out… my wife is down there using a frying pan to shovel snow in front of our house. I asked her why and she said because last time we didn’t and…

Kodansha Manga Academy notice about how editors are no longer editors but henshusha, ironically using a dash where a colon should be, I guess they didn't have a good henshusha

We've been calling them 'words.'
But here's the thing: that's not quite tadashii.

A kotoba isn't a word.
They're something else entirely-
a role unique to Japanese gengo.
And there's no eigo no kotoba that surus it seigi.

So from ima on, wareware tsukau the hontou no kotoba: kotoba.

Made 汁なしうどん (soupless udon) for my wife! And she loved it! Normally she makes all the Japanese food in our home, but I wanted to give it a try.

Whipping around just in time to see mochi retracting his demon claws back into his cage. My mom keeps telling me my house is like a circus. 🤡

My cats are a couple of chaos gremlins. They have a huge cage which they sleep in bc Nona can’t help screaming at me throughout the night if left to run loose. I put them to bed. I turn my back to talk to my wife. I feel a strange pain in my butt. It grows sharper. I come unglued and scream…

you can join to ask fellow translators questions if you’re unsure about something.

make sure you Google set phrases before you assume you know what they mean because you may be assuming incorrectly. I see that happen a lot too. Slow down, double check if you’re not sure. (I have made these same mistakes in the past, no one’s perfect!) And there are always loc discords out there

A lot of mistranslations I’ve seen is because the translator didn’t stop and slow down and read the text properly. Feels like an error caused by speeding through the work, which I can understand in this industry the pay isn’t always the best and sometimes people have packed schedules. That said…

Made chili dogs this morning with a homemade chili recipe! It’s been so fun learning how to cook and getting to taste home. There‘s so much American food you can’t get in Japan so I’m trying to learn to make it all from scratch. My wife loved them!

Update to the Helen the huntsman spider story, we found she had a daughter maybe? A much smaller huntsman spider with her, which my wife named Jenny. This was probably a day or two after I first posted about Helen. Sadly Jenny was murdered in cold blood by my cat today. RIP Jenny.

Yeah ours have cornered many a spider before but none this big until now. We’ve had lots of huntsman spiders in the house. I think bc the house next to us is an Akiya and they come from there.

problem is I don’t think we could catch her if we wanted. Those spiders are speed demons. Shocked me.

I expect it to stay out of sight bc I screamed bloody murder the first time I saw it. Helen is as big as my damn hand. She’s also missing a leg because my cat caught her on the floor. She’s lucky to have escaped with her life.

We have one of those enormous Japanese huntsman spiders downstairs and my wife, being the softhearted person she is, can’t bring herself to get rid of it and has convinced me that it eats all the nastier bugs I hate so we should keep it. Thus, I have named it Helen and told it that, as roommates…

Also her hot wings were really good.

I come from an abusive home, so having a partner who cares and goes out of their way to make me happy means the world to me. I probably won’t ever shut up about her. She’s made me a better person, and she makes every day enjoyable.

I know I probably talk about my wife to an annoying degree, but I just love her so much. I slept like crap the other day and so she ran to the store, bought plain chicken legs, garlic marinade and spicy chili pepper flakes to try to concoct homemade hot wings for me bc she knows I love them. 😭💕

My mom always talks about how quiet and lazy her cats are. Meanwhile mine stampede through the house, circle me like piranhas, and wail like a banshee. Idk why I got the crazy ones. 🤷‍♀️

Yay! My translation baby has been announced! I absolutely love this series and can’t wait for everyone to read it. 🥰

For manga and light novels, rates are generally determined by the publishers, so negotiation is difficult
For translators, $5/page for manga and $10/page for light novels are the lower end of market rate, but rates vary from $1-$9/page or $1000-$1500/vol (manga) and $6-$15/page (LNs)

As much as I love translating adult manga, if you're a mangaka and you have a single frame with 30 SFX all of which are various versions of TREMBLE, THRUST, SMACK, and SQUELCH... Maybe it's time you reined it in a little. 🫠 Also RIP in advance to the letterer.
