Damn, Sakura-chan & team, look at y'all dropping mega chapter releases. Mangago <3 you and all your efforts. Thank you!

I suppose it makes sense that so many identify with the older guy because we were privy to more of his life and inner thoughts than Yoo Il.

It's still a little odd to me, though, that despite Ahjussi being more mature, experienced and hopefully wiser, it is Yoo Il who many expect be the smarter partner, while Ahjussi's serious mistakes are excused.

I like the realism of Ahjussi's character. I don't believe he actually think he's done anything really wrong, or that it was that bad, because he's old omg so old and it's just the *worst* to be old and blah blah. He doesn't seem to have any friends he can rely on to tell him when he's being dumb (which we all need).

Yoo Il, don't waste your youth on this dude. If this old man is going to display the immaturity and poor decision making skills of an obsessive melodramatic high schooler, let someone else handle it. It's above your skill set.

I could only get three page into this. I thought, Huh? Why is there such a sudden drop in quality here? Ugh, don't tell me it's...

I read a lot of titles on here as licensed manga vendors don't sell enough of what I prefer. (Sekaii takes forever to be released so I read it here first.) I've started titles and dropped them before the end of the first chapter because I found the scans or translations too hard to read. I never express my dissatisfaction in those cases. There's a popular and very prolific scanlator group whose translation quality can be uneven. Eh. The fact is that they do all that work on what seems to be over 90% new titles and have yet to interfere with any other team's work.

This is the wild world of unlicensed translations. But every world works by its own code: that's how human operates. It's bad form to pick up titles that another group has already pledged to work on. Obviously, it's a free world; you can do what you like. Just trust that if you pick up popular titles, titles that other groups have provided to the community as high quality scans and translations, and produce eye burning dross, you'll be called out. Don't be surprised if some take it as an insult (●'◡'●)ノ . You can't expect to be coddled on that point when you crossed the line first.

I guess this shall teach me to the value of patience lol.

    Why should we "all" do anything? You may appreciate it; I feel no need to persuade you to think differently. I find it poor work. (And I know I don't have to read it, thanks lol. I didn't.)

    Yeah, it is of poor quality. But you know what? A few years ago it was a miracle to find even a LQ scanlation. And nobody complained! People nowadays are so spoiled... Read it or not, don't bitch about quality - or help the group do better.

    You ignored the point I made in my original post of how I respond to poor translations of new/properly dropped titles (I don't complain) vs poor translations of poached titles. If you can spend time to discern the poor quality of Saku's stuff here, then understanding my position shouldn't be that difficult.

    Agree. The same happened to last chapter of Given. Banaqua is providing hq scans with proper translations and some group/translator (idk who, i dont remember) uploaded a low quality one. I remember reading two pages and dropping it when I realize wasnt the good one. People is so impatient that dont care whether what they are reading is accurate or not or if the scans are crap. Even if my fav manga were dropped I'd rather not read it than spoil it reading it in a bad condition.

Xiao, please let me know when your motivational remedy will go on sale, I want three!

I wish I knew Japanese. I'd join after that ad for sure lmao.

Maltafenien September 28, 2017 2:41 pm

Hell no. Nope. After chapter 15 I am the cute dog in Cowboy Bebop nope-ing away from this manga until it sorts itself out.

Maltafenien September 27, 2017 2:18 pm

I get a real kick out of reading about a female character who is violent and hyper aggressive with a saviour complex. She stupidly defies sensible orders but still makes it out alive, complete with woman slung over shoulder lol. Red is everything.

That snake doc....Every time I think I'm about to like her she reverts to her abusive ways and vindictive attitude. If you have a death wish just jump of a cliff at night. Stop making it a spectacle.

Okay, so how we do convince the artist to allow grandma to live forever. I can't handle any other outcome.

Grandma out here snatching wigs. Nothing can save that "aunt's" edges now. I'm inspired: gonna get a broom and start sweeping.

Scarlet Beriko's art stands out so much on that Cherie + cover, from the lines to the colouring.Thanks for sharing your talent with us, sensei <3.

Masaru is as solid as the foundations of the earth. Aki gave that sudden ultimatum because he was frightened and wanted to preemptively end it rather than wait for the axe to fall. Masaru perceived the truth in Aki's perspectives, beyond his fears, and acted promptly because, well, he's such a decisive person.

"What's your type, Masaru? Fluffy hair or straight?"

"If I don't know their personality I can't say."

Clone this man and ship him to Jamaica (≧∀≦).

All that being said, Aki must have had such difficulty coping with Masaru's initial negative attitude to even the mildest of physical contact. That's not about sex--holding hands and kissing aren't necessary related to that at all. (We hold hands with and kiss relatives and friends too.) Masaru kinda had to be that amazing in every other respect, to motivate Aki to stick with him and be patient.
