Thanks for the thoughtful and thorough reply. I’m happy I was on the right track with switching voiced/unvoiced consonants and somewhat-clumsily squishing the sentence into a recognisable form.
Reading Barakamon is on my bucket list, so becoming more familiar with reading dialect is a skill I’d like to improve.
The dialect in Barakamon looks a lot easier to read than this one. It’s also quite different so I’m not sure it’s worth putting off if that’s what’s holding you back.
That’s good to know. Thank you!
I tried to listen to the relevant part of the anime but it is way too fast for me to pick up the pronunciation. Sorry.
Ah, good shout. Just listened and it’s “dahande”
Oh man, another great relaxing chapter. Would be nice to see it in colors!
Also thanks for the heads up, lol.
Just making my way through the pruning explanations now, the warning was useful thanks @NicoleIsEnough! I managed through most of it by imagining country folk slurring words, but some things were too specific – so Kei’s translation a couple of pages further really helped 
I love that everything is almost exactly the same between the two versions 
It’s a rosetta stone for Tohoko dialects 
I just discovered that Flying Witch vol. 9 will come out next week!
Which reminded me… are we planning to continue to read this together? I’d be up for it!
I’m happy to make a thread for 5 if so 
I was assuming you guys would continue on, given that your numbers have only gone up!
I assumed so too, but then I realized we had not discussed this yet (especially when to start the next volume).
Are we good to continue with a one-week-break? Or do people need to buy the next volume before continuing?
(Grrr… and I just realized this is NOT the home thread 
Confused myself because both say “Vol. 4” in the title 
)
I’m totally up for continuing with it, too!
Ah, I wondered why you’d chosen to post in this thread 
poll for start date in the home thread?
Done

@Radish8 I have a dumb question Should I be closing the participation polls when I make a new one?
Not dumb at all!
It’s up to you though - I prefer to close them at the end of the week, because I want to capture who was actively participating during that week, but others keep them open throughout the run or even indefinitely so that anybody reading along afterwards can indicate their participation.
I do always keep the “I finished the volume!” polls open forever though, because that’s the prize for anybody reaching the end (as well as actually finishing the book, haha)
Thank you, I follow your pattern then and close the ones from previous weeks
I think I’ve read this panel so many times I’ve confused myself. Is she saying she looks a little more witch-like compared to when she left Yokohama?
On a side note, I loved all of the subtle Harry Potter references in this chapter.
That interpretation looks spot on to me.
