Hanamonogatari 4 QC_aS 97f1 I suggest removing "for" here The turn of phrase might be a bit too archaic p99f2b1: greetin's -> greetins // I realize we're eliding the g, but the end result is that it looks like we're making it possessive 99f2 Yer -> your and fer -> for p99f3b2: 'Causes -> Causes 99f3 Remove the apostrophe in 'Causes (Technically "It" is being omitted, but it's not part of the word) 99f4 Similar to 97f1, I suggest removing "the" before "day" because it might be just too archaic 100f2 Yer -> your Proud as peacock -> proud as a peacock 100f3 I suggest changing "eh" to "huh" The english would be "ay" but it's not used usually except in caricature 101f5 In the background text: Youre -> You're & Thats -> That's Add a period after "chicken" (because the other endings you can't see but one ends with a question mark) This might be a harder fix. Use your best judgment! 102f1 Missing text: Huh!? 102f2 Ya -> you (I think we switched those all in the first three?) (The next bubble immediately switches back to "you," so I think these are for consistency) 102f3 bad by this, but, -> bad by this, but… 102f4 Recently -> Well, recently A flow suggestion p102f4b1: you have -> you've 103f1 Remove the comma after "before" 103f2 Remove the comma after "But" in the first bubble Busier than -> busier'n Remove the "but" in the second bubble 103f4 Kya! -> Oh good! 104f1 both commas to ellipses 105f1 Yoshiko-san, I betcha, must -> I betcha Yoshiko-san must (flow suggestion) 108f2 Comma after "perfume" to an ellipsis 108f3 Commas after "obvious" and "choices" to an ellipses so people -> some people p108f3b3: you are -> you're p108f3b4: so -> some 108f4 A period after "well" 109f1 The perfume -> your perfume 109f5 Remove "and the shopping"? The repetition is odd here 111f1 Poppa -> my husband (following the change in 50f4) Comma to period after "my husband" Then even after it -> even after that, it Move the comma after "meals" to after the "and" there p111f2b1: that -> like // "that" could very easily be read as the end of a sentence given that we're broken across two bubbles; "like" makes it very obvious that we're only halfway through the thought Then, add an ellipsis to after "felt like" to clearly show that the right bubble is first in reading order 111f4 Remove the second "now" after "alone" and change the comma at the end of the first bubble to an ellipsis Change the comma after myself to a period 112f4 time". -> time." (since outside the quotes is oxford style, which we haven't been using) 113f1 All about taking care -> all about self-sacrifice to take care 113f5 Yoshi… -> Yoshi-- (using an em dash instead of two dashes) 114f1 Rewrite as (including the quotes in the bubble): "Do you have someone you're livin' with?" Or, what I really want to ask is "are you married?" She must be married, riiiiight?" But I'm livin' alone now, so it could be that she's also livin' alone, right? p115f1b2: when you feel -> when I feel 115f5 If it is easy to do, swap the interrobangs around so they are !? If it requires any meaningful effort, then no prob. The Japanese was doing it as !? So I figured we could stay consistent with it 116f2 Uwah. -> Heh. Or another suitable interjection 117f1 Weloco… -> Welco-- Use an em dash if possible instead of two dashes p117f2b1: it has -> it's p117f4b1: someplace -> anyplace p117f5b1: ML -> mL // 1ML is one million times greater than 1mL; case actually matters here 118 So if you'd like, please look around. -> so please look around if you'd like. p119f2b1: certainly would -> would certainly p119f3b1: but something a bit -> but a bit // repetition of "something" is awkward p119f3b3: cardamon -> cardamom // cardamon is attested, but it's much rarer; no reason not to use the standard p120f1b2: Clearly -> clearly p120f1b3: who has -> who's p121f6b2: Pappa's -> My husband's p122f2b2: papa -> my husband p122f3b2: my father-in-law and mother-in-law -> my father- and mother-in-law 123 Wha? -> What? 125 Smells so good -> It smells so good 127f1 Add a period after "Ok, then" p127f2b2: sweet-peas -> sweet peas 127f4 Oho! -> Ah! Japanese interjection to an english one 128f1 More sweet -> sweeter 128f2 So that… -> So… To reduce the number of "that"s
