#how do you explain that your fave character only exists in a shoddily translated english version and you’ve projected everything onto him

[asakamasanobu]

my insane person thought of the day is what if the asaka i fell in love with is completely mischaracterised bc of how mistranslated this series is .. and my rational person counterbalance is that there is no way that is possible bc the mistranslations aren’t even THAT bad and you’ve already read a few asaka parts in japanese and he sounds pretty much the same but like imagine .......

#this was originally going to be a hashtag funny tweet but i realised i have so much to say about this matter #and i love talking in the tags as it has been established countless times #like there are certain junctures were the translations are just so lazy like 草色 as grass green instead of dark green but LIKE #in general they are not so bad ..... they just translate it directly and it works for some things but then it doesn’t work for others #there’s no way they could’ve butchered something into sad and beautiful but it would be so funny #how do you explain that your fave character only exists in a shoddily translated english version and you’ve projected everything onto him #i would cry #this yaking session has been brought to you mainly by the mistranslation of yuichi’s words in the student council room confrontation scene #like the translated bit of i’m gonna put you first now is cute too ig but like #THE EMOTIONAL WEIGHT OF SAYING HE WANTED TO HAVE THE UPPER HAND OVER WATARU FOR ONCE ...... BC HE THOUGHT HE WAS LOSING OUT #BC CMON HES ALWAYS BEEN PUTTING WATARU FIRST AND ITS PRECISELY BC HE THINKS HES LOSING OUT BEING THE ONE MORE IN LOVE WITH WATARU THAN WA #THAN WATARU WITH HIM I RAN OUT OF CHARACTER LIMIT JUST SCREAMINGG #literally my favourite dynamic esp for bitch boy who never lets anyone see his clingier vulnerable side .... god #i sat there for 5 minutes just pondering on life and omfg sekakoi op1 just came on shuffle as i was typing IRRELEVANT BUT HIIII #ok anyway rereading vol 1 just reminded me that actually ...... i do like bitches apart from asaka too #oh ya i realised i forgot to say i finished vol 1 yesterday but i did it was gr8 #the first time i read the series i loved all of them until asaka suddenly crept up and stole all my braincells and now when i reread I just #only read the asaka parts so i end up not gaf about everyone else but they’re good too ...... wataru and yuichi y’all got me fucked up #ok the end i have been talking for SO LONG and will probably tell all of this to oomf who i’m meeting soon to lend vol 1 to anyway ^_^
