Am I the only one who wanted to read the original Japanese?
- seagaia 15y agoCertainly if one is fluent, that's a perfectly reasonable desire - I'm not, but I'm sure there's a significant amount lost in that translation process.

- seagaia 15y agoNo need to be a jerk and jump to conclusions...I thought I added something with that comment (apparently not!)
- xonev 15y agoReading the original Japanese wouldn't have helped me, but I did desire a better translation. It's barely understandable as it is.

I might try my hand at a translation with better flow... although, remember, the original is a chat log. Chat logs read in retrospect usually don't flow as well as natural conversation!
