Damn Kojiro for not talking or thinking. He makes translating chapters go easier and seem like they don't take as long. Feel free to use these translations in your scanlations, just give me some credit for translating, perhaps a link to Bakafish at bakakage.net in the credits page if you have one, and let me know when you use them.

Other than that, enjoy.

time to get to work on two chapters of this and another of fullswing. You said you would be kind of slow with this. What happened to that? lol

Wow, wonderful work, translator-sama. :glomp
What do you mean by "dependable stick" btw?

About the effects, I think you should translate only those that are different, that actually mean something (I remember a "gleam" SFX in a previous chapter that mattered). I believe up to this point everyone knows Kojiro says only Ahh and Auhh. Ocasionally he says his adoptive father's name and I believe that's it.

It starts off fast at first, it'll slow down later. It'll end up being about 2 a week. But yeah, none of those effects really meant much as far as I could tell in this chapter. Just standard sounds that you can assume their meaning from the pictures.

I guess I should have said trusty. It's a sort of phrase, you've got your trusty stick with you, and the like. I had that word in my head, and then it just went away for some reason. Changing that.
