One question, isnt this a fan translation? So whatever confusion you have between the translators and author would be on the official translation not here in this pirate site
They uploaded the official translation on here. It's separated into its own page, but look at the other works by the author and it should be there.
Ok, so I am confused about Tarju and how anything works. First, I found 2 posts referring to Tarju and the black tiger (possibly named Tali or Tari or smt like that). The first one does says the black tiger is male. The second one says Tarju is based of a real species of tiger and is bigger than the average female. Thus, it can be concluded that Tarju is female and the black tiger is male. BUT, the second part of this is that I dug through the author's twt, and many of the readers (Japanese and non Japanese) refer to Tarju as male. The official translation for the manga also refers to Tarju as male, and this is weird because either a) no one bothered to check with the author on how to refer to Tarju [if it is ambiguous, as a translator you would want to double check or not use an actual pronoun] or b)the author changed their mind[??????], because there is a third post where the author directly states that they told the translation team for the English version to use "I love you" in the conversation btw Ilya and his father. This signals that there is some level of communication btw the author and the translator(s), but then Tarju is still referred as male. You could either say this is a mistranslation or the author changed their mind (the author has done it before, as you can see the difference btw the first uploads and the 2nd official translation uploads). I'll try to dig more, because I am confused a little bit.
