Sorry to bother you, I'm really thankful for all the translations you've done so far, but I wanted to clarify something. In chapter 21 of Choujin X, the word complex was used several times, but something about the context doesn't feel right. Is it a proper translation?

Hi! I went through the chapter and the use of complex is right. In fact, Ishida uses 'complex' as the furigana for 個人世界観念 (personal world view).

I think it works fine in context because Azuma's got a raging complex when it comes to being better than others, especially Tokio after he became a Choujin and Azuma stayed human.

Choujin X vol. 3 extras. These are all the pages unfortunately, but Ishida got his playlist for vol. 3 like usual. I created a doc with the translated titles and links to the songs here.

I guess it’s a sign I should get back to the vol. 1 extras then...

To the anon who asked about ch. 21 of Choujin X, I’m not caught up with the manga yet so I’ll answer the ask later when I have time!

Who is the white haired female character? The character used as your avatar and icons.

Oh man if I could get a dollar for every time Fumi is mistaken as a girl I'd be rich 😂

His name is Fumi, and he's one of the main characters from Jack Jeanne! He's my fave out of the JJ cast 🥰

Hey, I'm the "confusing Ishida tweet anon". The tweet was referring to was part of this one https://kenkamishiro.tumblr.com/post/615959072282411008/20200420-super-ishida

Thanks for the link!

It's a type of conflict used in literature. I think the common name for it would be man vs. society, e.g. Kaneki as a ghoul is now in conflict with human society.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ? MISS YOU POSTS !!

Touching grass 😂 JK, long story short, I got TL burnout, got Covid, and job hunting really dragged down my mental state ;-; I'm doing much better now though, so I'm hoping I'll be on here and go back to TLs more regularly!

Hello! To start off, thank you for taking out time to translate so many things related to Ishida, it's really appreciated. I have a small question though, in one of Ishida's tweets that you translated, he spoke of "comparing self against the world" what exactly does that mean? It sounds pretty confusing.

Thanks! I haven't had time to do it lately unfortunately, but I really want to get back into it;;

Sorry, do you know which tweet that was? It doesn't ring a bell.

Hi! Do you ever find all the responds of the asks for the Ishida's contest?

I was hoping in some fan's photo at his exibith, but I cannot find anything unfortunately.

Send you all the love! ❤️

Hi! I never did, since not everyone posted their letters on Twitter and photography isn't allowed for the Q&A portion of the exhibition unfortunately. I only found some that weren't posted because I talked with someone who attended the exhibition a while back.

The exhibitions are still going on, maybe I should scour the tags a bit...

I’m back posting the Choujin X volume 1 and 2 extras! There’s a lot of pages so it’ll probably take a few days to go through them all. I also post them on my twitter if you use the blue bird app more.

What do you think of the official print translation of the TG and TG:RE manga? Is it good?

I'm not a big fan of it personally. Besides the interesting phrasing (which is a Viz thing I've heard), the official translation can't keep special terms used in TG consistent. One-Eyed/Sekigan is an example, Sekigan means One-Eyed in Japanese, most people wouldn't know that, but I've seen both the Japanese and English version in the official version. The print quality also leaves something to be desired...

Hi Sen! I recently got into TG, and needless to say, your content has been paradise for me. Thank you so much for your work! Can I know where the quote "I stand here, together with my past self", is from?

Yay, I'm happy you're enjoying TG, it's such a wild ride and amazing story 🥰🥰

The quote was from an editor's blurb for one of :re's colour pages, but I forget which chapter it came from lol...somewhere in the latter half of the story
