yessssss

>>209282
When I first saw this page I laughed for about 2 seconds, until I looked at the bottom and actually gasped out loud.

1.
Asagi: "You can borrow it, just bring it back here, alright?"
Yotsuba: "FOR REAL?!"
Asagi: "For real."

2.
Yotsuba: "Fuuka said she uses this to lose weight."
Asagi: "Don't worry, that girl won't ever lose any weight."
Yotsuba: "FOR REAL?!"

Comments: "She starts playing with it right away..."

>>209283
1.
Yotsuba: "Where are we going?"
2.
Yotsuba: "There's a big block. What is that?"
Koiwai: "That's a gravestone."
4.
Yotsuba: "...Where are we going?" (she's speaking with kanji?)
5.
Yotsuba: "WAAAHHHHH!!!"
Yostuba: "AAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

Comments: "The place where she was taken is"

Comments from the blog entry:
"Yotsuba, who broke a tea cup with the ball, lies to Daddy saying she wasn't the one who did it."
"Daddy takes Yotsuba to a certain place."
"That place is..."
"The conclusion is in the magazine (laugh)"

>>209286
He puts her in the cemetery? That's punishing her a little vc:hawshly.

>>209287
Well it is almost Halloween...

>>209286

As I understand from listening to subbed anime and Japanese live action for quite a few years, hontouni is usually translated as "really" not "for real."

>>209291
That's nice.

>>209282
Okay, so a broken window and lying equals an ass whooping, so I'd estimate that a broken plate and lying equates to a bitch slap?

>>209291
What's the difference?

>>209301
he's apparently an anime expert that didn't need to study years to learn japanese but rather watch cartoons all day, everyday

>>209301

>>209291 here
"For real" strikes me as a colloquial slang phrase that not every person would use, only certain groups of close friends in certain areas of the U.S or the world (something like that).

"Really" seems to me to be more of a catch-all phrase that everyone uses.

That's what I think.

>>209303
Yeah, "for real?" does sound kinda younger than "really?", sort of like the Dad/Daddy distinction for Yotsuba. I guess it's one of those things that depends on the translator preference/situation. I think Yotsuba would say "for real?" though.

>>209304
America ruined English and ruined manga and ruined everything.

>>209304
That's precisely why I chose "For real" instead of "Really" (besides also trying to be a little original).
It sounded more like something a 5 year old would say. Since some of the childish idiosyncrasies of Yotsuba's speech are untranslateable, one option is to make subtle changes elsewhere to give her dialogue a more childlike feel. That's kind of how the Yen Press editions are doing it.

>>209308

OK, that's cool.

I thought the phrase "Is that so?" covers it as well.

>>210187
Miura is a sexy beast.
I can read a little of what's going on, and it's fucking hilarious.

Dreams are about to be broken...

Eh? Why was that link removed? Damn.

>>210190
thread died anyway

>>210189
This chapter: "Yotsuba &! The Reunion" (Reunions? I never know whether to make these chapter titles plural or not).

Comments: "A shocking reunion... and then"
Yotsuba: "OH NO! DANBO ISN'T MOVING!"
Ena: "Uhh..."
Miura: "Sorry, I didn't know she was coming over..."

Comments: "Something to remember Hawaii by..."

1.
Ena: (in an elevator) "If you push them all it'll explode!"
2.
Miura: "I lied about being a princess."
3.
Yotsuba: "Pretty!"

I have to confess, I'm getting awkward feelings looking at Miura and Ena in this page...

vc: rewife...

>>210194
Well, as long as you don't get awkward feelings looking at Yotsuba...

>>210194

Well, the flower does add to Ena's cuteness and Miura looks like she's having fun, but Asagi's the only Ayase for me.

I can't remember the last time we saw Miura. Great to have her back.
Also, Yotsuba's hoodie is cute.

>>210188
yeah, that tight little behind she got lifts my spirits...mhph... too bad she is probably a lesbian too

Good to see Miura back, "hang loose" gesture and all.

>>Yotsuba's hoodie is cute.

That too.

I didn't know there existed previews for short comics, wherever in the world.

>>210192
Kinda lame of them to give away a surprise that happens on the last few pages. Not a big deal, but I would have enjoyed the chapter a bit more if I hadn't seen it, i think.

>>210246
Well, we can always just agree in the future not to post any preview images from Baron Kanayama's blog until after the chapter is translated.

>>210247
Naw, that's dumb. How about use a image spoiler filter like a few image boards already use?

>>210247
I wouldn't mind seeing it put behind a spoiler image.

Again, it's not a big deal or anything, but since it's not like I have to be sold on the issue, and since they only come out a few days before the publication, anyway, I'd rather read the chapter without having seen the preview material. Especially with chapters like this where the "preview" is more or less the end of the chapter.

>>210247
That is why I only come on /azu/ one day after a release.. god damn it.

So, when you guys saw >>209282 did you think that the fitness ball started invading Koiwai's house and started wrecking everything just by looking at the thumbnail?
I never understood people who'd get miffed at knowing endings to stories, films and such. It's about the journey, not the destination.

>>210256

>It's about the journey, not the destination.

Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. To some people it's the other, and to other people it's both.

Don't be so close minded.

>>210269
You don't be so closed minded.

>>210270

Some skilled debaters we have here.

>>210294
No, we don't.

>>210296
Yes, we do.

>>210300
Oh look, this isn't an argument.

>>210256

>It's about the journey, not the destination.

susprises are a legitimate part of the journey, I'd say.

>>210321

Yes it is!

>>210323

No, it's just you contradicting me.

>>210324
It is not!

>>210322

>susprises are a legitimate part of the journey

No, they aren't.

>I'd say

No, you wouldn't.

>susprises are a legitimate part of the journey

>>210349
My dreams, my nightmares.

So.. this means there is a chapter this month?

>>210461
pssst
(Look down)

As always; thank you. Guess I'm not used to that kind of presentation.

Elevators have a secret way of pressing buttons for inspectors.

Most old elevators will skip all floors if you hold the door close button.

What would Miura write her name in rocks that way:

MI
U
RA

Are those the english translated syllables? Maybe she just didn't want to carry rocks?

>>210468
Because she's cute, and that's why we call her Miura-chan.

>>210329

>No, they aren't.

Really? Why not?
Or are you just beng contrary for the sake of being contrary?

"It's a big Miura!"

I lol'd

>>210900
Chihiro grew up well.

>>210900

Wow. Another possible competitor for Asagi's position of "hottest character".

>>210900
Ok, Azuma must have been reading posts between rolling and acting like damn fool. Now, we wait till there's a doujin of this woman and Miura (possibly Ena-futa).

>>210900 Big Sister I'd Like to Fuck?

Is there a reason that half the dialogue in the big Miura pages is obscured?
I mean, it's Yotsuba&, what possible spoilers could there be?

I was hoping that since the 27th was a Friday this month that the raws would become available Friday night or Saturday sometime, so I could work on them during the weekend (the past two months they've been available almost the day of/day after their release).

>>210941
She's Miura's mom, actually.

>>210956
Is there a term for a mom one would fuck?

>>210959
I believe it's called a MOWLF.

>>210960
Catchy!

>>210960
sounds like a drunken dog barking

>>210956 Damn. Between Ponyo and this, it feels like Japan is just throwing young, tomboyish mothers at me recently. Not that I mind, of course.

>>210972
I think it was the Spartans or some ancient army, when they came back from war they had women who would cut their hair like young boys to lessen the femininity because the soldiers had developed intament (sexually and as mentors) with other males.

>>210972
You really think she looks "tomboyish"? Even if you ignore her facial features, her clothing, and her figure, her hair isn't even that short.

Sexiness runs deep in the blood of the Hayasaka clan I see.

>>210984
I was thinking the same thing. I think the Ayase family has some competition going here.

>>210985

Proof that this series was drawn for men, not women - the females are almost all damned sexy.

>>210990
Or just proof that it was drawn by a man.

Notice how nearly all the tertiary characters are female too.
The police woman, the farm woman, the lifeguard at the pool (Scruffy is an exception)

>>210991
It could be that Yotsuba just avoids talking to men on purpose.

>>210983

No, I don't. I just accidentally used a word in a slightly incorrect context, as there's no actual equalent to the word tomboy in my native language. Can you ever forgive me?

>>210991
It must be Azuma's version of the Male Gaze. The Male Pen.

>>210954
I just got the raws.
I really wish they would have come online over the weekend, but oh well...
I'll start on them after work. Yotsuba today, IM probably tomorrow.
Yotsuba is indeed a continuation from last time (Chapter 69: pt.2), and IM is double length this time (meaning 8 pages instead of 4).

>>211008
Work well desu~ <3

>>211008
You have the Raws? I don't suppose you could post them?

>>211011
Home from work.
I'll post them alongside the translations, like I usually do.

>>211008

Damn you're fast. Further proving the theory that you're in fact some sort of cool nerdy android. Do you even sleep?

>>211014
Are you done yet? it's been 30 minutes....

My apologies for taking so long, this chapter is pretty easy overall, but there's one bit of dialogue on page 6 that was really kicking my ass.
I don't know if any of you have tried translating anything, but it's one of those things where the dialogue itself is really simple, and I know what all of the words mean, but understanding what they mean in their particular context is really hard to grasp for whatever reason.

Anyway, I don't feel confident that I got it correct, but I'm at least in the ballpark, so after already spending too much time on something so trivial, I decided to just call it good and move on.
I should be done shortly.

>>211022
You're doin' the Lord's work my friend.
