This is not the full translation of the stream. I only translated the parts I could understand & interpret or parts I found interesting/important. I’m still a beginner in Japanese, so the translations may not be accurate. If you want to repost, please repost at your own risk.

(t/n: * at the end of sentence = translation may not be accurate)
C: As a manga reader, I hate the fact that a lot of things in TG anime are different from the manga.
I: Well, I’m happy just by the fact that people know the name. I’m lucky that it turned to be a wonderful thing. I’m grateful already with people knowing it’s title.
*Some in the chat said they knew TG from the anime.
I: See? It doesn’t really matter. It just meant that people get to know any manga in another way. Isn’t that good? They watch the anime and are intrigued by the story. Some people watch the anime only, since the anime is already good enough. It’s good to have a terrible anime rather than a good one. They’d want to check out the original story that way. They might think the manga as dull too. (laughs) Just have been given opportunity has made me happy. There are mangakas who have never gotten that chance. That’s a luxury worry to have.
C: Tanaka Minami also said the same thing in her channel.
(t/n: Tanaka Minami is a freelance announcer.)
I: Then, we both have the same thinking.
C: That’s right. It’s not up to fans to judge anyway.
I: Well, everyone feels differently. It’s okay for them to feel that way though. It’s just that I feel this way. Their feelings are acceptable too. It doesn’t matter. Minami also said the same thing. (laughs) Someone name Tanaka Minami appeared out of nowhere. She’s working hard on her career.
C: Do you like Tanaka Minami, Sensei?
I: Yes. I like her a lot. I like people who work hard. I don’t really know about her, but I like her. (laughs )But I’m not really a fan of her facial features. I like her attitude to life.
C: Do you like TS or Tanaka Minami? (t/n: both TS & Tanaka Minami have the same surname.)
I: Minami. She’s pretty, but her face isn’t my type.
C: What kind of face is your type?
I: I like the ugly type. (laughs) Someone has told me that I like uglies. I was surprised when he said that? I thought “That girl was ugly?!” I was quite shocked when people told me I like ugly face.
SY: I like chubby girls~.
I: (laughs) You have an old man’s preference. You’re still in 1st year of high school, right? You’ve already realised the merit of chubby people. Amazing. Aren’t teenagers at your age usually prefer the slender type? Maybe it doesn’t matter.
SY: The heart is the most important…
I: That’s right. I understand you. I also like chubby people. I like slender people as well. I don’t really mind either way. I like macho people too. If I were to choose between skinny and chubby, I’d choose chubby. I wanna feel a little bit of meat.
I: I like Macho. You can feel that they put in effort.
C: Sensei, do you like loli?
I: I don’t think so. I’m not sure what constitutes a loli though.
SY: If they are kind, I’d fall for them.
I: Your standard is too lenient. (laughs) You’re still young.
C: Do you prefer older person?
I: Nope. I look at the mental age. There are people who are young but very mature. Some know things I don’t know. I do have respect towards younger people.
C: What’s your preferable height & weight?
I: I don’t know. I’m okay with the person being 2m or 50cm. As long as I like them. Inside is the most important.
C: Chubby for guys isn’t chubby at all. I feel like punching their stomach.
I: Chubby for guys…It’s not that I say this because I don’t wanna get punched, but I might be fine with the person being fat. It might be chubby from the ladies’ perspective. I’m okay with the person having a little bit of fat on their belly.
*Someone mentioned Lady Dimitrescu
I: Well, Lady D is nice. In the end, it all comes down to their personality. For example, if the person is a bit fat, but doesn’t do anything and only likes to sleep, then I won’t like them. It’s hard to lose weight when you get older. Those who can maintain their weight are admirable. It’s fine for those who can’t as well. It’s just the law of nature.
C: Everyone will be wrinkly in the end.
C: A lot of thin people seem stoic.
I: That’s right. I don’t really prefer those who goes too far and do crazy things just to lose weight. But I really admire those who really put in effort. I feel like I can’t lose to them.
I: Your preferences change with age. I used to be very simple. I like this in a girl, or I like that in a guy. But as I become older, my likes have increased. There are preferences that I got tired of, and there are some attractive points I discover.
C: I’m curious about people who are a bit eccentric.
I: I understand that. You’re curious as to how they become that way.
C: Like, “this girl is interesting”, someone like that?
I: Yup. That kind of person. I’d say that behind her back if I were to meet someone like that. I’d say that after we go our own ways after the meeting. I wanna try saying, “This girl is interesting”. When will I be able to say something like that? I’d keep it to myself though.
Ishida talking about Kabedon
C: Are there really people who do Kabedon?
I: There are. I do that by myself every day. (laughs) I’m practising. I’m sure there are people who do that. Go to Host Club. I do Kabedon when I’m seducing the wall. I try to see if a wall can be seduced. It’s a part of my daily routine.
Ishida on Weekly Young Jump cover
SY: I was reluctant to buy Weekly Young Jump because the cover is erotic.
I: I’ve been saying that for 10 years already. Having gravure idols in the cover is embarrassing. Well, it’s not like one mangaka saying that could change anything. There might be people who buy it for the gravure idols. But then, it’s a bit embarrassing for ladies and those in high school and university to buy the magazine. I think it’s good to make a lot of embarrassing memories. It’s not a bad thing to have people think you’re buying an erotic magazine. Imagining that is fun.
(t/n: Ngl, when I was searching for Weekly Young Jump online, my brother thought I was buying a porno magazine.)
C: I just buy the magazine nonchalantly now.
I: What a powerful person you are. A model reader. I need to increase the amount of model readers. I also need to do my best to enlighten people. Just like Saito Naoki. If Saito Naoki serialised a manga, it’d be booming. It’ll definitely be popular, no matter the content. His Palette Group will surely read it.
C: Sensei, what brush do you use?
I: There’s someone who’s really curious about the brush I use. (t/n: OP had asked him the question many times in the chat.) It’s a secret.
