>>26174 Some things I want to add before I apply the quality changes.

1f2: After re-reading this panel, I think Ekio (light hair one) suggests Beni (dark hair one) move in with her. Beni asks if it's okay for her to not pay any rent or utilities, and so Eiko quickly changes the subject. As such, I think something more along the lines of "Is it fine if I don't pay any rent or utilities?" would better convey the original Japanese dialog.

--> This is accurate. I'm fine with the change.

2f3: I'm not sure where love is supposed to go. Boke would have to clarify.

--> see above

Beni: Regarding "loves Eiko," the original text conveys the message that Beni loves Eiko despite not understanding her hobby of yuri. "But Beni loves her anyway," conveys that liking yuri is a negative trait that Beni is able to look past, when in actuality, it's more so about loving someone despite not being able to understand them. As such, something like "Beni loves Eiko despite that fact that she had never heard of the word 'yuri' before she met her," would probably be a better translation.

Also, I would say that "has no life" is a better translation of 生活力 than "not great at daily life" and "basically" is a better translation of 基本的 than "to tell the truth," but I'm open to talking about it with Boke if he disagrees.

--> Changing 基本的 to "basically" works just fine.

--> After having consulted with a native speaker, the consensus was "has no life" is a big harsh. My TL is certainly clunky here, so maybe something in the neighborhood of "sucks at daily life"?

Applied all the suggested edits to the pages.

This looks fine, just needs a credits page.

What's going on? Release it.

I made a quick credits page and uploaded it. https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/two_yuri_girls_playing_yuri

The loveliness also continues.

thanks!

16: So I can’t just change the verb to “Add”, it doesn’t make sense, I’d have to rewrite “With a little yuri, how wonderful would that be?” → “Add in a little yuri, and how wonderful would that make it?”. And I’m a bit sceptical of that since it’s just more wordy.

21/1: Balsamiq Sans. It’s a weird font, because it is a handwritten font, but is neat enough to often look like a normal gothic one. I’m very surprised you think it looks like Courier New of all things, since it’s not monospace and not serif?
22/6: I put it in italics, which I think is more normal than quotation marks for this in English.
26/2: I thought to remove it (a) for space and (b) because I don’t think having it in or not actually changes the meaning of the sentence? Since it’s directly addressed to Hansel, it’s not like it could mean anything else.
30/8: Good point – I completely misread that scene. Fixed.
37/2: I was avoiding “pass out” because that means to become unconscious, whereäs here since it’s a fever she’s presumably just sleeping. If you look up “to flake out” then it shows both the ditching meaning and the sleeping meaning.
39/4: I thought not to do this because “both” already makes the “and” emphasized, thus it comes across childish (to me) to emphasize it again.

Ch1:
16: In this instance, at least according to the text script, the verb was originally "add". And it does make sense. The author is talking about "adding" yuri to the stories. It could also be "Add in a little yuri and how wonderful would that be?"

Ch2:
font: that's not the font that was included in the file. I'll download again and check. (I've included a screen grab of what I'm seeing)
22/6: hmmm maybe the italics isn't showing well on my monitor
26/2: It could be implied, but it could also just be stating what's she's doing. Adding "for you" indicates an action the writer wants the reader to take; in this case, meeting them at the lake. But if space is an issue, that's understandable.
37/2: I've never once heard it used in that context. But maybe it's used that way elsewhere.
39/2: My concern was the author added emphasis in the original text so I thought it might be good to include it here.

16: I suppose “Add in a little yuri and how wonderful would that be?” doesn’t read that well to me. I don’t think it changes meaning in this instance so I’d rather keep it.

21/1: Definitely the same font.
22/6: Oh, sorry, that’s just me forgetting to update the Drive.
39/4: Well, the JP doesn’t have bold or anything so I’m assuming it’s just boke. Either way I just wanted to change to what reads nicer to me.

Alright, well that's all I had for what's uploaded so far.

Woo. Someone's gonna have to love redraw to work on this.

Thanks for the review! I've made the changes and am waiting on feedback from Nobody before uploading.

Sorry for the delay, and thanks to Lilisionnach for handing this series to me! I uploaded the first part (though 99% of the work was done already).

Sorry for the delay! My laptop broke a couple times but it’s all good now… 😅

I decided to split the extras into their own chapter.

Part 3: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1T48_QtBQfaqaq8TAz317nPI1EwmKeA9A
extras: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1loymVtfJtye04Pv_HFzAMJ6CAepAoSve

I’ve yet to do the cover pages (I only reälized I forgot last minute) and the redraw of some flowers on page 197, and I may come back to the wall of text on page 175. But that’ll be at least in several days so I’m putting this up now.

(I’ve updated those pages now)

In Dynasty Scans’ #scanlation Discord channel it was brought up that this domain/hosting provider may expire and we’d lose all our data. I suggest that at some point, we make an effort to move to the chat platform Zulip instead, as we may be eligible for the free Standard tier as a community.

Zulip is a platform organized like a forum but stylized like a real-time messaging service (each forum thread acts like an IRC channel, and one can also view all messages from all threads interleaved). It has some advantages over the current forum software:

1. Notification support (including mobile ones)
2. Viewing all current threads in a compact title-only view, eliminating the need for my spreadsheet
3. Supports nice-to-have features like editing posts, polls, etc
4. Supports various modern features like DMs, apps, integrations, etc
5. Unless Zulip itself shuts down, the server won’t be deleted

And some disadvatanges:

1. No support for anonymous users posting – one needs an account.
2. Possibly harder to learn?

I have a preference for Zulip over traditional forum software, mostly due to my preference of messaging versus forum posts; Zulip is also one of the most modern options available. I’d like to avoid something like Discord because it’s less public – Zulip doesn’t allow unregistered users to post unfortunately, but they can at least view the messages.

As for the migration, Zulip has a web API so I’d be happy to write a bot that moves all yuri-project history into the Zulip.

Any opinions on this? Obviously I’d like to move, but I’d mostly like to avoid losing contributors.

(oh, I forgot to put my name, I’m valence by the way)

Although I suppose there’s a risk Zulip would be unwilling to host this activity since it’s in a legal grey areä. Hosting it ourselves would be $12/month, which I should be able to contribute some to… we’ll see

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it. I agree that traditional forum structure isn't the best fit.

I'm mixed on the anonymous thing. On the one hand, I respect privacy, on the other, the child porn spam messages that show up occasionally makes me incoherently furious and checking for and nuking them is tedious

Thanks for the updates.

As for Zulip, I'm down for whatever software as long as it continues to be easy to just pick something up and do it.

I can also help contribute financially if need be.

I've already translated all of Vol. 1 and am working on Vol. 2. There's a group working on it slowly but surely.

is the user Moonspace on mangadex associated with the group?

>>26585
thanks, that user tried to "claim" the group on MD

Nooooooo all links are dead T_T

There was a typo on original page 079;

"Every since meeting you, Uta"...

I'm pretty sure that should read;

"Ever since meeting you, Uta"...

Content warning: Herpy derpy inadvertent yuri-danshi saves the day, and also happens to be the least annoying character in this manga; Another argument on why being childhood friends is inherently toxic; The conclusion to this story is so drama free as to be almost suffocating, but it's still an addition to the the meagre poly oeuvre, so there's that.

Okay, chapter 4 is uploaded!

here is the first part of the QC by me and SagaTympana. I'll get the second part up soon, it was a long one

here is the second half of the QC for chapter 5

okay, done!! that completes volume 1. once the raws + TL are posted for volume 2 I’ll get on it (can be on this thread or a different one)

>>27023

I'll get started on Vol 2 then.

Content warning: Ok, so you've landed the popular girl at school, now the real troubles start; A bullied girl with guts (and something to fight for) for once; Heroine seizes the initiative and solves the problem within 30 pages. Why can't all yuri series do that...?

yeah I totally whiteboxed page 14, sorry about that…

Starting up QC on this one
