Took kind of embarassingly long to churn this out, given that I gave up on SFX cleaning, but there was a lot of Life to deal with.
I low-key might go back to SFX cleaning though, because it was so much fun. I was so so tempted to clean the SFX on each page.
This one was... surprisingly easy to typeset. I've found all the little cute shortcuts I need to clean bubbles quickly, and on top of my less-than-stringent typesetting quality standards, editing went real quick. Hence also why it feels weird that it took this long to complete.
Hopefully the translations are smoother as well! I found a site with the official translation of this manga in my second language, which is super rusty but I could stumble through the whole thing without typing every single line into a translator!! So I've been checking my translation against the official one to make sure I'm on the right track, or just generally clarify what the heck the Japanese is saying.
Makes me feel kinda odd now because there was a way to read this without going through the trouble of learning Japanese. No regrets though, I love languages, and Japanese is so much fun.
Anyway, Ch 30 continues the Eight Cup Tournament! Which I honestly can't wait for to be over... starting to feel a lot like filler stuff now with all the extraneous fighting with so many new side characters. I wanna say it gets better soon, but... there's a lot of stuff to get through before anything epic returns. Just my thoughts though.
In any case, here's my translation of Buster Keel! Chapter 30, please enjoy!
