valid criticism, translate what the original pronoun used
Yeah, like I understand inclusivity and I’m all for it, but situations like this does more harm than good and causes confusion to the readers(like people asking if Tachibana is confirmed trans a lot in the comments)
I hope the translators stop using they when jinguuji refers to Tachibana. It just makes no sense story wise and there hasn’t been anything to warrant it, and just feels really clunky honestly. Jinguuji obviously still sees Tachibana as a man, and they both perceive each other as men, so it just doesn’t fit story wise, if that makes sense?
If there was actually a conversation about it though, where Tachibana like outright states that he doesn’t know what his gender actually is or something like that, I would understand the change in pronoun. Otherwise, it makes the flow of the story weird and I legit have to pause to change the pronouns in my head so it makes more sense.
It’s also very strange when jinguuji says he wants to get tachibana’s original body back but then refers to him as they/them in his head. Like, it really just doesn’t fit story wise ;;
It’s not enough to make me drop the story, but just a small pet peeve about the recent chapters?
