Why I “Dropped” Tonikaku Kawaii (Fly Me to the Moon)
トニカクカワイイ
Hey gang. Just lately, somebody messaged me to ask why I not overview the Tonikaku Kawaii manga. It’s true that I used to chapter overview the collection. Certainly, I nonetheless do observe the manga collection, so I haven’t “dropped” it within the sense that I finished studying it. Nevertheless, I did drop it from titles reviewed. Right here’s why.
The Official Translation Sucks!
The largest cause I finished reviewing Tonikaku Kawaii is that the official translation sucks. It is stuffed with errors at greatest, and rewrites at worst. I’m not going to trouble recounting what the manga really stated vs. what the official English model made it say. Regardless, an analogous downside occurred with Hayate the Fight Butler, to the purpose the place I finished shopping for Viz’s product and easily bought the whole Japanese tankoubon run.
Certainly, I’m doing that for Tonikaku Kawaii as properly. I normally bulk-order from Japan to save lots of on transport prices. However on this method, I can assist Hata-sensei, however not assist Viz…properly, at the least not a lot. I nonetheless learn the manga out of curiosity, however I simply checked and a brand new chapter hasn’t dropped in ages. I hadn’t even realized this was the case. Apparently, it’s on hiatus. 😅
The Manga is Adrift
One more reason I finished reviewing Tonikaku Kawaii is that the manga collection is adrift. Hayate the Fight Butler suffered from this at occasions. That’s as a result of Hata-sensei kinda meanders round doing fluff stuff, then sometimes touches the plot. I get that pushing the primary plot ahead rather more might finish the collection. However Hata-sensei hasn’t touched that in ages.
Proper now, the collection has a number of dangling plot threads, none of that are getting touched. Whereas I don’t thoughts seeing little romantic stuff between Tsukasa and Nasa, it’s kinda annoying that they don’t absolutely act like a married couple. I don’t imply exhibiting their marital non-public moments. However on the very least, it shouldn’t be a query as as to whether or not they’ve consummated their marriage.
Additionally, a few of the fluff stuff of late is simply boring. Proper now, the collection is concentrated on one supporting character (who’s identify I can’t even bear in mind with out trying it up) crushing on Kaguya. It’s boring and tedious and admittedly, I don’t care. However we get numerous time coping with that. As a substitute, I’d somewhat Tsukasa speak in confidence to Nasa about these locations they’re visiting, then inform him the way it was again within the day by exhibiting the readers. Alas, that’s not taking place.
There You Have It
So there you may have it. Assuming it comes again from hiatus, I’ll in all probability nonetheless learn the official Tonikaku Kawaii (and cringe). However I don’t plan to return to chapter running a blog it. But when the collection formally ends, I’d do a collection overview.
