(3/3) Happy April Fool's. This was an old parody comic I did for my last series (in the original version, the French was English lol) 1

I'm buried under a pile of translation work but this is happening slowly...I will probably have to end up drafting all of it right at the end of the month 1

Only really applicable for people in Tokyo tomorrow, but I successfully finished my comic and will be selling at Comitia at space F28a! Drop by if you're around (but preferrably after noon bc I'm going to be doing portfolio reviews for the first half) 2

Actually, let's do a little Japanese slang lesson regarding the term (yuri)-chu. This term and "yuri pig/yuri-buta" were the terms I chose to replace with "himedanshi" in this translation since the original JP wasn't well known enough, but "chuu" has an interesting etymology! 2

So I rephrased in the way most people (and weebs) online would react at something that impressed them in a way they weren't expecting to get across how ridiculous the scene is. It made me laugh, it made @sarasarahT laugh, and I was pretty proud of it lol 1

Upon seeing this, the Otaku pair realize the umbrella was much stronger than they gave it credit for. The Japanese is very simple and very funny in the WAY they say it, but translated directly would only amount to "(What a) strong umbrella" 1

But then a car passes by and Kakoi uses the umbrella as a shield against the splash of water that hits them like the boss she is. 2

For context, the scene has Otonari and Mashiro freaking out at an umbrella Kawai and Kakoi are sharing because it's making Kawai's shoulder wet and causing a little argument between their OTP since both of them want to keep the other dry. 2

Upon request, I want to highlight a particular translation I was proud about in volume 3 of The Otaku Love Connection. Namely, this one: 2

If I ever get the opportunity I kind of want to draw out a "rudolph-side" version of bakuten...maybe a version where a different person is sent to the world but he still remembers mariko. that would be fascinating 3

I'll probably go more into things once I get a copy on my hands so I'm taking this from previews, but I'd just like to state here that I translate all of the music lyrics (of which there are a lot) in Phantom Busters to the beat of the original, so you can potentially sing along 1

The real challenge is to show things in an easy to understand, yet interesting/fun way. My favorite way to do this is to establish something and then turn it on its head. This method has served me pretty well over the years, mainly because I'm not a very subtle storyteller lol 3

For someone who had only worked digitally and had very bad fundamentals, I watched my art almost...degrade before my eyes? as I had to relearn everything I had only haphazardly picked up by hand. 2

I didn't continue it past 3 pages, I don't think lol...but it was key in actually getting me to start doing the thing, you know? After that, I gradually started making more and more complete things. First a webcomic, then two, then some oneshots... 2
