「30歳の童貞に片想いすると魔法使いになれるらしい」 (from cherry magic volume 11 special edition) — english translation

#cherry magic #my translation #finally. after months i got to read this at last !!!!!!! i can be at peace now #also gonna do a little t/n in the tags bc i wanna clarify one little bit #the term '苦手' comes up a bunch here and it can mean either 'not being good at smth' or 'disliking/hating smth' #and from my understanding when used for people it can mean either 'not knowing how to get along with someone' or 'disliking/hating someone' #so on page 1 kurosawa uses 苦手 to say that the other guy doesnt like him #and on page 4 adachi uses 苦手 too which kurosawa misinterprets bc he doesnt have all the context #bc adachi means that he doesnt really know how to interact with guys like kurosawa but kurosawa hears it as 'i dont like his type of ppl' #(which gets cleared up later anyway thank god . tho it did give us a funnie panel) #i couldnt find any word in english that worked with the same sort of double meaning as 苦手 so i tried phrasing it in a way- #-that would have that same sort of 'this can be easily misinterpreted' vibe . dunno if it worked but i tried kjfkds
