If I’m being honest, the most recent word I learnt was 膣内 - perhaps you can guess what sort of stuff I’ve been reading in order to come across that.

無悔
Just reading something. Does this mean no regret or regret? No regret makes sense but translator says regret.

Can you post the whole sentence? I can’t find 無悔 anywhere (unless you were reading something in Chinese).

I’m reading it off someone’s neck at a gathering lol. Might be seen as strange if I took a picture. It may well be Chinese. I could just ask the person I guess but I’ve found people don’t often take well to this. Which I don’t understand because why would you write on yourself if you don’t expect that people will try to read it.

Chinese. No regrets.

Probably because 90% of the time, they’ve discovered it doesn’t say what they think it says. But yes, it means “no regrets” in Chinese.

If it’s the question I think you’re asking, don’t forget to consider the grammar that’s added by the よう

不良少年
Juvenile Delinquents, pronounced ふりょうしょうねん。
Found it in the first volume of よふかしのうた, on page 29. I’ve learned 3 of these kanji, but not the second one, which I just learned means good. On second thought, I recognize it now - idk why it didn’t click as “not good boy” XD
