Land of Root by Hitomi Murakami

finally i am being vindicated about the horrible Viz translation of Dead Dead Demons. i was fighting for my life when that thing came out. everyone was against me. genuinely gratified to see the readership has turned against it in the intervening years

i feel very defensive about Fat Handsome Brother and Ouran's relationship and banter in particular because it is so similar to my and my brother's relationship, and how we gently tease our long-suffering mother with dire imprecations and hyperbolic descriptions of our nonsense activities. john werry i hope you stand up too fast and hit your head on a cabinet door

Reminds me of the official translation of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, that kind of implies the protagonist is a slave.

The manga is about Alpha, a sapient, basically human robot who runs a little cafe as humanity is slowly dying out decades after some unnamed catastrophe.

She doesn't own the cafe, the actual owner is out traveling.

Official translation on the left, fan translation on the right.

Throughout the manga, it's made very clear that both Alpha, and all the other robots in the story, are their own people. Humans don't treat them any differently, the robots live their own lives with their own jobs and relationships, and none of them "belong" to anyone.

Which makes this little change from "Owner," which could be a nickname or just referring to the fact that he owns the cafe, to "My Owner" so jarring and out of place. "Yeah, she sees herself as the property of some guy, no biggie."

"Left me at the shop" and "Entrusted the shop to me" also have a very different feeling.

The fan translation is also overall just... better.

"She must polish it constantly" = She treasures the gun and takes good care of it.

"She musta been stroking it all the time" = Stroking it?? What, like a pet or something???

They also didn't even bother giving the manga an official English title, for some reason.

Being a flop changed my life. The world is not my oyster, I am glowing. I walked into a pole this morning. There's very little I wouldn't do for $1,000

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people
