I always feel guilty when people thank just me. I didn't really do much. Von Himmel has found about two to three summaries himself or, although unlikely, herself. Our work is little in comparison to the LN spoiler who translated and posted the summaries. The LN spoiler's work is relatively little compared to the author. Plus, we must be grateful to whoever helped the author which he may have written in the afterwards. The list of people to be grateful to continues. Of course if we thanked everyone who is required, we would sound like we're about to receive an emmy award - and it will consume a lot of time.
I think that I see your reasoning. With me or Von Himmel your gratitude is likely to be heard. However, I'm just a member of the staff who redirects your specialized calls. I prefer that just reading it is enough gratitude. For example if new people want to get up to speed and they use my references, that's enough for me. |

Hmm... I was thinking about how Miura and Hayato had caught on to Yui's intentions about Hachiman. The problem with this will be that same thing Hachiman did(maintaining the status quo). Most likely they will be against Yui and 8man getting together because this will have n effect on the group and the social implications are on the bad end. (How would it look like if a popular girl would go out with the most hated/unpopular guy; That would even affect how people view the Hayato group)
I see Hayato doing nothing(his usual way of solving things) to help Yui and Hachiman get together, but for Miura I only see her trying to get in the way. The most simple would be to het to go talk to Hachiman and say to him that it would be better for him to thik about the consequences of Yui getting together with him. Or there is the other solution of getting Hachiman "socially executed" by more intense bullying and getting his reputation under the bridge, but that could backfire because Yui could jump in disregarding the consequences to help him out(Ex: when Tobe started insulting 8man and the club girls got angry) As we know by the end of volume 7 the cub's emotions are on the edge, mostly because of 8man's selfishness. This is an amplified version of what happened at the end of volume 2, but this time they might not solve it so easily. I suspect that in this situation an adult help is needed which will be provided by Shizuka sensei. Also about Hayato in volume7: He might look like a nice guy but he virtually lured in Hachiman to talk to him and make the sacrifice. He knew Hachiman observes the minor changes every time(ex: volume 2 when he say the 3 playing on their phone when Hayato was not with them) an that is why he put up a depressed face. And when Hachiman approached him he used him to get the things done while he was washing his hands. As long as I will not see him doing something for Hachian he will be an antagonistic character. Miura seeing the small wave of Yui towards Hachiman can suggest that Miura has good observational skills like Hachiman except she mostly ignores the signs and goes on like nothing happened. (She migh actually be smart and witty like Yui or 8man in terms of people, but she is more like pretending to be oblivious). Kawasaki Saki flags might be raised in the future with 8man. I hope they will also get some "alone time" like how Yukino and Yui did. (wel that is my expectation)

You can't expect him to seriously do something for Hachiman, they aren't friends to begin with. But he won't do something that hurts someone either, just because he's kind. Again, Hachiman said Hayato's just overly kind, if he was one big evil schemer Hachiman would have caught on earlier, just like he did with Haruno. We'll have to see what happens later on, but I don't think Hachiman would receive any form of tease or anything for that fake confession. Last edited by icebreaker; 2013-05-23 at 01:41. |

Well the shift in hate was like a momentary solution, he made a joke about someone else(Tobe). In a normal student society that is just a flare up followed by the teasing resumed. So he just did something short-distanced. The hate will still linger on and probably resumed.
The confession probably will be kept secret but something kept me thinking. Why on earth would Tobe and Hayato group up with 8man and Saika when they had 2 other friends(Yamato and Ooka). This puzzled me. Also if they just grouped up with 8man because of the request, the other 2 would feel left out, I think. It's like the whole situation was not thought out by the author. Or I am wrong in my deductions. Also I just caught a blooper in the tennis episode: remember when Yui twisted her ankle she went off-field after Yukino(in her sports attire) and she came back with her (now with her school attire) and at the end she was seen by Hachiman when they were changing(???). Why did she change when she was already in her school uniform. Okay I even have a possible answer. She was in Yukino's clothes(which is unlikely because of the bust difference). but anyway this looks like a mistake.

Terribad do you have any insight on who the translator is? or if the translator is reading this thread from time to time? just in order to express my gratitude to him/her on the job done, not an easy LN to translate as it seems the ideas expressed are quite deep, but al in all, I just wanted to seize the occasion to thank him/her if he/she happens to read these lines.
This story is quite the captivating one and it the first time in a long while that I have been so taken into one. And thanks also to every member of the information chain to put the summaries together in the same place, really a life saver

And about Hayato, it's not like he forced Hikki into confession or lied to him and that's actualy reason why 8man reject his pity as well. Quote:

I thought as a counter argument that she was too straight-forward to lie so easily. Then I remembered that she can be deceitful like in episode 5 with her brother. Although she was never shown to have lied to him, she may have just avoided talking about her business. I remember that she's mindful of her soft side as shown in vol 7 chapter 1's summary. In light of all that and some more thought, I think she can pull off a convincing lie. The "Saki liking Hachiman at that point" was taken from csuree. Now that I think Saki lying is a good possibility, I'll unleash my interpretation. One of the first things she asks, after she identifies Yukino and Yui, is if Yukino and Hachiman were going out. She may have asked to confirm if Hachiman is available. Conversely, she may have asked this first to as guess to why Hachiman was with them. Furthermore, the anime is an adaptation. There could have been dialogue in between that was cut from the LN. Second Saki called Hachiman "that" instead of "him" in one fansub at least. This could be a trick to see if Yukino is lying. If Yukino did like him, she would probably get angry. Conversely she could just want to spite Yukino - maybe. Overall I think that it's unlikely because I doubt Saki could be so sly. I find it interesting though. Quote:
I don't know much about the translators. If you want to thank them, you can do so on the feedback thread on Baka Tsuki. Or next time I login, should I post your reply in that thread? I'm pretty certain the active translators will read it. I'm also fairly sure that your gratitude will be encouraging for one translator at least. Last edited by terribad; 2013-05-23 at 08:11. |

I've updated the summaries on page 15. It's chapter 2 for volume 7.
Edit Just read it. Hachiman and Yukino put up much more resistance than I originally thought. Yui was the main factor that started the story and she ended up getting the whip for it. Hachiman and Yukino can convey information through looks now - that's a little suspect. The service club really feels like friends now. Yukino was hilarious this chapter.

I'm finding the summaries really funny recently. Is the LN spoiler getting better or is the story just funnier at this point? Honestly, I didn't really believe that the service club were friends until now. I'm really enjoying their chemistry. However now I feel a little saddened by what happened at the end. I hope things will work out in the future volumes. It seems with recent summaries, I understand your point of view better and better.

You were right, I didn't read it, sorry about that, I don't know where to post on the baka tsuki forum, so if it is not a hassle for you, could you please convey my gratitude to him/her? This kind of people gives us a lot, so thanking them is a given.

Examples: - both tried to defend Yui against Yumiko in volume 1. They both also stayed after to see if Yui can make up. - they both were the first to catch on to Rumi being isolated during the camping trip. When Rumi thought things would change if she went to middle school, both Yukino and Hachiman had the same opinion that things would remain the same. |
