Actually, now that I'm drafting chapter two I think there's close to a 90 percent chance these two are going to make it into this comic in some form…. (Not the work friend though) 1

Anyway, I have my own works full of humor and love, and while I have no plans of posting anything new on this site that hasn't been already published, you can probably find snippets on stuff on my bsky account (same username) 2

Here we see Otonari freaking out about his best girl's true colors-he actually uses a bunch of different words for "top" here: Seme Sado Tachi I'm going to skip talking about seme since I think most people are familiar with it. 2

Mashiro also refers to Otonari as he すきぴ (sukipi), a cutesy/slightly cringey way to refer to someone you like, which I made pookie/snookie to convey the vibe LOL (the "adorbs" is a similar situation-she says "kawachii", which is a cutesy way to say "kawaii") 2

This is a pretty straightforward translation. I'm just very pleased that I could make the "Everbest" pun here (Mashiro says she's on the peak of the beautiful mountain range of her faves/oshi, so it worked out perfectly). 2

The narration here says "Otaku will find ships anywhere there is an opening" so, well, I had to. The line about the gate to BL is pretty fun in JP because it uses ruby text to put "BL" over the line "new world". Can't do that in EN, so I expanded the sentence! 2

This might be my favorite panel LOL. I ended up inverting the original line-in JP Otonari is talking about Kakoi being a top who is "propped up" by her bottom (Kawai). If we switch perspectives we have a perfect word for that in English-power bottom. 2

Pairing order is super important in JP fandom, and people refer to the flipped version of their fave ships as 逆カプ (lit. the ship in reverse). 2

Kawai's classmates call him a スパダリ (supadari), which is short for "super darling", a term that generally means the "ideal man/boyfriend/husband". I opted to use "husband material" (used interchangeably with "hubby") as my TL of choice! 2

"Kink" here is 性癖 (seiheki), which is a casual way to refer to one's fetishes, but also a word JP otaku use a lot for the type of tropes that REALLY get them excited in the same way we often use the word "kink" in EN fandom. 2

In celebration of volume one of The Otaku Love Connection coming out, I'd like to highlight a few of the places I had the most fun translating from this hilarious love letter to everyone who has ever had a ship-induced hyperfixation: 1

As has been for a while I don't have much to show for the work I'm doing, but I'm doing it! Even in English! Amazing, right? Today is a big translation deadline day so if I can just make it past that I can get back to manga again… 1

I don't typically write badass girls because I suck at action lmao. Instead I aim to write interesting girls. And I see people react to that, because it's fun to follow their thoughts. 2

Anyway, thanks for enjoying the snippet of Ch 2. I'm about like…80% sure an EN release is happening? If you liked what you saw maybe try to hype it up on your own so it's not just coming from me lol Btw for those of you getting on Rudolph's case this is who you're yelling at 1
