Oh look, the title doesn't have Umaru.
And so it was at this part that I think we were really starting to up our game. Ryukihime was very hands-on when it came to re-wording things so they'll end up feeling a bit more comfortable to read in English. There was a struggle between keeping a "literal" translation over a much more "comfortable" reading experience. It also didn't help that Frau Ebina started to bust out the Akitas, yo. Even Ryukihime is afraid!
There was really a veeeery long delay on the final page, because Ryukihime couldn't make heads or tails of one of the Akita-ridden speech bubbles. Hours were spent on just one page to make things sound better and not out of place.
It came to a point where I jokingly "released" several versions of a gag translation of that one bubble while Ryukihime was figuring things out.
On the typesetting side, it was pointed out to me that groups usually used all caps fonts, so I changed stuff up to have exclusively capitalized fonts.
I sure hope we don't have to deal with another Akitafest anytime soon...
Moving forward, we would be staying with this style, as stated in that TS note.
