Hey everyone! This week we’ll be reading 1.5 chapters! It seemed like from active participants in the thread last week that there was a pretty overwhelming majority that would be able to keep up, and sentiments that the manga has been easier than expected, so I’ve elected to go with the fast schedule from here on out. If you aren’t feeling like stopping midway through the chapter definitely feel free to read to the end, but please keep your comments here limited to the selected pages for the week - thanks!
Please feel free to ask questions if you are struggling though - we don’t want to leave people behind if possible!
There was one handwritten part in chapter 4 that I thought I would type up just in case anybody had trouble parsing it!! unless no one needs it, then just ignore me haha
Lots of new vocabulary, and it has been interesting to see some I thought I knew used in a different context! Also, new things off vocab I know such as finishing blow 「止め」
Could someone help me out on the top left panel of page 48? I am not sure what the 「しやがって」means… I kind of get the sentence overall but am not sure where that fits in… I would translate it as: ”Pikachu is always making(?) a mess of my store’s products! I’m not going to permit it (to happen) anymore!”
Yeah, you got the right idea of the sentence! The grammar point, I believe, is やがる やがる - Grammar - Kanshudo
I think ive only seen it in shows/manga (really got used to it with Slam Dunk haha), and it’s to show hatred or that you’re annoyed at what someone did. Or just shows stronger emotion about what they did.
Instead of 「いつも台無しにして！」it’s 「いつも台無しにしやがって！」
Thank you! That clears things up… I was trying to search for しやがって as one word but that makes sense that it’s a combination like 仕上げる! (Which appears in this chapter as 仕上げ！ for “finishing touches”)
