It's not a translation thing it's an actual story setting that is popping out a lot more lately. This story specifically doesn't explain it that well but you can find more info online if you search up "guideverse". It's called that because the Guides generally "leads" the Espers out of their zones when they used too much of their power/abilities as it makes them unable to operate with a sane mind (⌒▽⌒)
im so sorry but can you please elaborate i know its way easier to just look it up online but i prefer having a real person explain it rather than a formal explanation ig you know what i mean huhu but i dont understand it at all like do they need to be having sex for it to work better? or like touching each other?
hi thought i’d jump in here. credit to user @/estreyika on reddit for this but essentially;
Espers are basically typical shounen heroes who fight in dungeons. But do we ever get to see them fight? Not really. Why? Because they aren't the main characters here!
Apparently if espers overuse their powers, they go beserk and blow themselves and their city up or something else dramatic. So they need to be "guided" by someone who can take in all that energy. These special people are guides. Guides are usually ranked, like S-class, A-class, etc. Our main character is almost always a Guide.
Guides and espers have to have good compatibility for guiding to work. Different universes have different rules.
Sometimes they take compatibility tests or whatever.
Different levels of intimacy are also more effective than others. So like hugging usually works better than holding hands, etc. Smut manhwa use this as an excuse for the guide and the esper to have obligatory sex because why the hell not.
Thanks for taking care of the explanation! I read and am aware of guideverse for manhwas but I'm much more familiar with "sentinels & guides" from fanfiction stories so I was worried my explanation wouldn't be sufficient, but you took care of it!ヾ(☆▽☆)

im so confused with the translation guide? tour guide? like why not just call them healers?!?
