Artist Acro - Ch 7 (English)

 

All right, new title, let's go!

...I guess I'm going to do weekly updates again or something? With BK off my plate I was thinking about giving myself a break and laying off the translating and editing for a bit, but... hahahaha that didn't happen. I was too excited, and am even more so now after going through the first couple chapters :D

So some stuff I'd like to rant about because this space is my virtual vomit board - 

• Holy hell these chapters are SHORT. Even with all the volume-start character intros, synopses and title pages, this chapter only contained 24 pages. That's half what a typical BK chapter was. I always knew BK chapters were hella long, but it's kind of a shock how short these ones are. The short length means they end really weirdly, so just a headsup to not get too blindsided by that.

• Aaaand... even though they're short, these chapters are not that easy to scanlate. It's kind of amazing how difficult it is to switch to another series - the style is incredibly different, creating kind of a new learning curve to get over. The writing style is quite different making the translating a lot harder, there's a gazillion weird SFX, the bubbles are really long and narrow ugh-- I'm kind of disappointed with how badly this first chapter turned out, but I'm hoping it'll get better as I get used to Sakurai-sensei's style. Another heads up not to get blindsided by the trash quality! :')

• Finally, I've decided to write short blurbs of my thoughts at the end of each chapter. I really wanted to do this for BK, but the most natural place to put it (in posts) would be spoilery, and like... who cares about my thoughts?? Well too bad I ain't holdin' back no more as it kind of defeats the purpose of this brain dump blog, so look forward to my post-chapter thoughts! But don't actually. 

Okay, all that's off my chest now! Without further ado, here's my first delve into Artist Acro by Sakurai Ato, Chapter 7, typseset in English.
