[rainysunday]

Hi Community Moderators @Mods,
Please help convert this post (ハイキュー・Haikyuu! Vol. 4) into a wiki. I don’t have the level to do it. Thanks so much for your help!

[arlo]

First post is a is a wiki now

[potatonaught]

It’s up! The sign-up sheet for chapters 26 and 27 is here!

There are a lot of characters @.@

Let me know what tweaks y’all would like to see to the format. I think I’ll tweak how to indicate which character has fewer speaking lines in each chapter, but I worry about the column looking busy. I did some tweaks. Lemme know how that looks.

[Yehoshuaingeveb]

Hi, I’d like to read/translate for Yamaguchi.

[potatonaught]

Heck yeah, go for it! The first post is a wiki, so anyone should be able to edit it. Go ahead and add your name to the table for Yamaguchi.

If you need help, let me know

[JuiceS]

Yay, a new participant in our little group! Hope you’ll have lots of fun.

[JuiceS]

I need some help with what Ukai says in the last panel on p.13:
しかも才能に胡坐かいて調子こいててくれりゃあ付け入る隙もあるだろうが容赦なくストイックだ
So far I got And yet he doesn’t rest on his laurels (I’m guessing on the negative here from the second half of the sentence) … there’s an opportunity he can take advantage of but he’s relentlessly stoic. but i’m quite lost on the first part especially where I marked it bold. I just can’t differentiate between all the hiragana as distinctive parts and I think I’m missing some grammar point there.

[potatonaught]

@JuiceS

i’m quite lost on the first part especially where I marked it bold.

I was also struggling with this part. By fortunate coincidence, I saw this thread on common contractions earlier. It mentions some patterns that I think are going on in the phrase:

• い sound can vanish after -て form
• れば becomes りゃ

So does it work if くれりゃ is a contraction of the ば-form of くれる? well which くれる? One listed on jisho that might work is 呉れる with the meaning, “to do to someone’s disadvantage​.” The entry also notes, “Usually written using kana alone, after the -te form of a verb. Auxillary verb, ichidan verb”

I’m working backwards to make it work, I know, but here’s my reasoning: Coach is wavering on who to pick for starting setter. He sorta bemoans the fact that Kageyama is too self-disciplined / strict with himself (ストイック) to be the kind of person who is cocky about his talent or content to rest on his previous accomplishments. If Kageyama was that kind of cocky person, Coach could take advantage (付け入る) of that weak spot (隙) and not choose him as starting setter.
So I think the grammar is functioning like “to be in a state of being cocky-and it’s disadvantageous-hypothetical.” Or maybe easier to parse, “if he was disadvantangeously cocky” or “too cocky for his own good” or “cocky and it was working against him.”

I think something like that is going on.

I’m still confused about the extra あ though. I’m chalking it up to regional dialect / Coach extended the sound.

[potatonaught]

Chapters 28 and 29 role sheets are up.

Big talkers:

• Sugawara
• Nekomata-sensei
• Ukai (less than last time)
• Takeda-sensei
• Kenma

Edit: I didn’t see Nekoma third-year wing spiker 海 信行 has one line in chapter 28. The omission has now be fixed. 申し訳ございません

[sycamore]

I took Kenna (surprise, surprise) but happy to share with someone else doing a chapter each if someone else is keen to read for him!

[potatonaught]

You’re just Kenma in my brain, so that makes sense lol

[sycamore]

I’ve had this WK icon since I joined so really playing the long game lol.

[BarelyFragile]

I’ll eventually want to fight you for Kenma for a day.

[sycamore]

@BarelyFragile

I’ll eventually want to fight you for Kenma for a day.

haha! As I said, happy for anyone to take one of the chapters this week and I’ll pick someone else for the other chapter Mainly just picking a role early this week cos I’m super busy to make sure I make time to read it.

[JuiceS]

Damn, I know, I said I wanted to take a minor role this week ‘cause reading Ukai last one was just so much. But I just finished reading ch.28 today and I kinda want to take Suga and geek out on volleyball explanations with him. ^^’

[BarelyFragile]

Doooo iiiiiiitttt!!

Why won’t it let me post

[rainysunday]

I second that… Go for it and embrace the geekiness!

[potatonaught]

sheet’s up. experimenting with noting when a character only has one line/bubble in a whole chapter.
let me know if the sheet’s getting too busy though (and feel free to replace the 1 with your name if you pick it)

Frequent talkers:

• Ukai (うるさい…)
• Hinata
• Suga (color commentary)

[BarelyFragile]

I love and appreciate the work you put into making these sheets more useful for us.
