For some reason, my international follower count suddenly shot up → I found a pirated English translation → I managed to track down the translator’s Discord server and got in touch → after a bit of back and forth → I got hold of the data → I posted the English translation on the author’s account

Here’s my stance ✌️


・I’m against pirated copies and illegal uploads (which is why I contacted the translator and had them remove the URLs to pirate sites that were originally listed at the bottom of the page)

・I think it’s a shame that people overseas can’t read my work

・My work hasn’t sold well enough to warrant an English translation, so I can’t arrange one myself

・That’s why I’m taking this approach

・If you feel so inclined, please buy the e-book. I can’t make a living without the money


(・As ‘Ogya Naru’ is a work where the author permits excerpts they approve of, I’ll treat this as an excerpt for now)

Nice to meet you.

I’m speaking to you using DeepL Translate.

I may not be able to convey everything I mean, but please feel free to ask if there’s anything you don’t understand.


I discovered that my manga had been reposted via fan translations.

I contacted the translators, obtained their permission, and have posted the translated versions on Twitter and FANBOX.


Whilst reposting fan translations isn’t legally permissible, I believe it’s a good thing that manga culture is spreading and that everyone can find joy through manga.

(There are various issues, of course, such as the fact that not all Japanese manga can easily be translated, and that some people don’t buy official translations even when they’re available…)


Furthermore, the translator told me, ‘I do this because I love yuri manga and want to share it with others,’ and I feel we share the same aspirations.


When reading manga, it’s definitely easier to enjoy it wholeheartedly without the guilt of reading a reposted version for free.

Furthermore, if money doesn’t circulate, this culture will wither away, and I, as a commercial manga artist, will be left high and dry.

That’s why I’ve decided to make it available for a fee on FANBOX.


Some of you may have already read all the reposted content for free.

Thank you for enjoying it. If you liked it, I’ve also created some bonus comics that are exclusive to FANBOX, so please do enjoy those as well.



There’s also a service like this that connects Japanese manga with translators:

If this service gains traction, I’m sure even more people will be able to enjoy manga.


Thank you for reading this far.

Above all, I’d be delighted if you enjoyed the manga!


One of my new dreams is to one day officially welcome NAGIHOKO, who translated my manga, as a translator and work with her.









初めまして。

deeple翻訳を使ってあなたに話しています。

私の意図が全て伝わらないかもしれませんが、もしわからないことがあれば気軽に質問してください。


私の漫画がファン翻訳によって転載されているのを見つけました。

翻訳者に連絡をとり、許可を得て翻訳版をTwitterに掲載し、FANBOXにも載せています。


ファン翻訳による転載は法律的にいいことではありませんが、漫画の文化が広がり、誰もが漫画を通じて笑顔になれるのはいいことだと考えています。

(日本の全ての漫画が容易に翻訳版を出せない状況や、公式の翻訳があってもそれを買わない人々など様々な問題はありますが…)


また、翻訳者の方も「百合漫画が好きで広めたいからやっている」と仰っていて、同じ志を持っていると感じています。


漫画を読むにあたって、転載されたものを無料で読んでいるという後ろめたさがない方が絶対に素直に楽しめます。

そしてお金が循環しないとこの文化は廃れてしまうし、商業漫画家の自分は死んでしまう。

なのでFANBOXにて有料公開をすることにしました。


もしかしたら、既に転載されたものを無料で全て読んだ人もいるかもしれません。

楽しんでくれてありがとう。もし気に入ったら、FANBOXでしか読めないおまけ漫画も作ったから、更に楽しんでいってください。



また、日本の漫画と翻訳者を繋ぐこんなサービスがあります

https://t.co/2YBaYdp7o7

このサービスが広がればもっとたくさんの人々が漫画を楽しめるはずです。


ここまで読んでくれてありがとうございました。

何はともあれ、漫画を楽しんでくれたら嬉しいです!


私の漫画を翻訳してくれたNAGIHOKOさんをいつか正式な翻訳者として迎え入れて一緒に仕事をするのが新しい夢の一つです。

すみません、海外の読者です。ファンによる翻訳版を通じてこの作品を知り、とても気に入ったので電子版を購入しました。目標が達成されることを願っています。🙏

I picked up this manga one day out of curiosity, and it began to melt my heart. It was funny, endearing, and when I got to the end, the finale got me to cry. I'm glad to be able to officially support you and your endeavors, spread the love of yuri even more, and I hope that in the future you'll be able to touch even more hearts with your work!

This is a really cool thing to do and i really appreciate your nuanced take on it. My first exposure to alot of manga is through these kinds of sites. Translation is very difficult and its a testament to how much love and respect there is across the world that people are willing to spend their time translating yours and other works purely because they love it and want to share it. I do my best to buy the originals of series I know wont likely get translated that I adore and am excited whenever I can get an officially translated version even if I've read it once already. its a goal of mine to learn to read japanese so that i can read these wonderful books that line my shelf. so thank you so much for making this series and for making this translation available in a way I can support you directly. <3
