Contextualizing the Messy AkiHaru Scene

So…it came to my attention that a lot of translations of the scene where Akihiko crashes at Haruki’s house in chapter 20 of the manga or the anime movie suggest that nothing happened more than we see in the panels/on the screen.

This is a translation error. The Japanese is unambiguous that a lot happened during the scene break; the art backs this up, in the change to Haruki’s hairstyle from before to after the scene break.

Mainly, I want to retranslate for people who are interested, who didn’t know that this was a mistranslation. But, I think that no matter how the scene is translated, there are subtexts and undercurrents that are lost, that cannot be simply translated into existence.

So I would like to explain several things in the lead-up to the scene in question, as well as in the aftermath, in order to hopefully give more context.

WARNINGS FOR SPOILERS AND NONCON

Notes on Translation: Given astonished me from its very first chapter with its deliberate and brilliant use of words. It is a story that is so incredibly articulate when it wants to be that moments of wordlessness or fragmented words are equally articulate, for they are crafted with as much deliberation and care as the articulate moments. As anyone knows who has ever tried to translate something, just plain translating the surface meaning of words often leaves a lot of the meaning behind. I will do my best to convey in English what the original text conveyed to me in Japanese, but it will inevitably fall short of the original text.

Akihiko's First (Subtle) Jealous Episode

So….Akihiko is kinda obviously in love with Haruki at the very start of the manga, right?

It’s not as obvious in the anime.

The same scenes are still there, but because the anime necessarily includes shots between frames of the manga, certain points that the manga highlighted are no longer highlighted.

Also they cut some of the dialogue in the anime….

Anyway, I decided to lay this all out for….some reason.

Double Meanings in Given

I know that we all know that all the main characters have seasons in their names, and that in their songs and stories, these are used to great emphasis.

(I’m just assuming here that anybody reading this knows full well about the story, spoilers abound.)

A quick summary, just in case anybody is here who doesn’t know:

Mafuyu’s (冬, winter) love story with Yuki is winter; Mafuyu’s love story with Uenoyama (夏, summer) is summer. Haruki’s (春, spring) first love story with Akihiko (秋, autumn) and Akihiko’s love story with Ugetsu (雨, rain) are both autumn; and Haruki’s second love story with Akihiko, and Akihiko’s love story with Haruki, are spring.

HOWEVER.

I just want to take a moment to remark on how Kizu-sensei uses double meanings in AkiHaru’s story.

(Apologies in advance, this is so chock full of language asides….)

夜が明ける (Yoru ga Akeru) Lyrics

The second song that Mafuyu brings to life with lyrics in Given is Yoru ga Akeru, and in the movie, is a crucial part of the plot.

I have only seen the movie with English subtitles once, and I have largely avoided looking at subtitles on videos on YouTube, but in that one time with English subtitles, it bothered me enough to try my own hand at translating this song.

Lyrics are much harder than other types of translations, much like poetry.

This song in particular is hard, because it has to apply equally to Mafuyu, Ugetsu, Akihiko, and Haruki. It’s hard because in Japanese, the title 夜が明ける is only ever stated one way, (literal translation: “the night will become light”); but in English, there are so many different ways to say this, and none fit the Japanese exactly. “Dawn will break” is the obvious one, with some wording variation, but to have the verb be “break” instead of “become light” is, I think, quite an atmosphere change.

That said, because “dawn will break” is such a common phrase in English, it is also unnatural to not use that phrase at all.

In summary, I fiddled around and have a translation that I’m not really happy with but I’ll never be happy with it and @magicpotatoobsession expressed that she would like it if I shared it anyway, so here it is.
