Notes:

• In Japanese, Keaton said お礼参りに来たぜ！　which can mean “We’ve come to settle the score!” to which Kaden corrects him saying, 恩返しね (“repay a favor”). The joke carried well in English, as settle the score has more negative connotations (usually someone seeking revenge), which is why Corrin was nervously confused.
• An alternative meaning is Keaton saying, “We’ve come on a pilgrimage to give thanks!” (the above line can mean that too), which Corrin would still be notably confused by, but the above flowed better in English.

For those interested in how much thought went into such a mundane comic, please check the translation notes! The left comic (Singing Haiku) had to be adjusted slightly to best get the joke across.

Notes:

• The left comic was a tough one. I felt it could be better. Translating was straightforward, but the main joke would be literally lost in translation. The joke revolved around the fact that, in Japanese, the word for singing and song (歌/歌う) can also be used for classical poetry/reciting poetry.
• With the above in mind, I tried a lot of different approaches to making it flow naturally, but in English the closest I could get was saying “to sing one’s praises” (often through poetry). But it sounded really awkward to say “I support my allies by singing one’s praises…” or “singing their praises.”
• The other joke still comes through, however, in that Corrin was rather impressed with the mundane Haiku coming off as potentially “deep” song, when really he just misunderstood the sing vs poetry joke.
• As a result, I included the brief Translator’s Note, but set out to avoid doing this too often when translating these comics. This one needed one, or else the entire comic would have to be changed.
• For those interested, the first Haiku was more literally, “Yukimura scolds me/gets scolded when his glasses break”, with the “scolded” a pun on “big round eyes”. So I figured “big round eyes” and “burn into my soul” would combine the two ideas while still adhering to the 5-7-5 structure.
• The second haiku about the loincloth is more accurate and just reworded slightly, but she is referring to laundry she forgot to hang up.
• The title is actually “One-Haiku Poem” (or one-verse poem) if it were translated literally, but I changed it to “Singing Haiku” as a way to get the pun idea across better.

Fire Emblem if/Fates: Gender-bend Fanart Translations

Today I fulfilled a reader’s request who wanted to see these few (nicely drawn!) genderbend pictures of the two royal families from Fire Emblem Fates.

It was a minor request (not too much text) so I was able to do it pretty quickly.

The original pictures can be found on this artist’s page on pixiv!

(I guess the guys are having a harder time adapting to the female character design in the game than the other way around? xD)

Feel free to send in any other silly requests like the above. : )

Notes:

• The literal Japanese was “Royal Blood” and “Dark Blood” for “Hoshido Noble” and “Nohr Noble” respectively, which are the original Japanese names for those classes.
