Tensei Kyuuketsuki-san wa Ohirune ga Shitai

Tell me, for people who only speak and understand English, what's easier to remember?  Neguse because Neguse means Bed Hair, or Behaki, which takes the first two letters of each word in ENGLISH and puts them together?

Behaki is just fine, I rather like the name.

You're the best kind of scanlator. I personally like Behaki. Idk, I'm not Japanese so it doesn't feel like an affront to my language or anything. Plus Behaki has a "horse" like feel to it. idk why. Apparently this opinion isn't popular, but I'm ambivalent so do whatever you like, scanlator-san~

I'm not the scanlator, so please don't give me any credit.  I'm just some guy who knows some Japanese giving my two cents.

Again, okay. Let's see. What would you call in the following examples ?

World trade organization called as (Wotror) or (W.T.O)

New York City called as (Neyo City) or (N.Y city)

United states of American called as (Unstam) or (U.S.A)

United Kingdom called as (Unki) or (U.K)

Paris saint germain called as (Pasage fc) or (P.S.G)

Manchester city called as (Maci fc) or (M.C)

Manchester united called as (Maun fc) or (M.U)

Real madrid called as (Rema fc) or (R.M)

Cristiano ronaldo called as (Crro7) or (Cr7)

Lionel messi called as (Lime) or (M10)

TL;DR:

Mister Beg hair King is fine, called short as B.H King or B.H.K is fine, called him as Neguseo-san is fine.

But called him as Behaki isn't fine at all.

Reminder, the translator didn't even Capped or pointed as "Be.Ha.Ki" or "BeHaKi" but "Behaki" .

I love this MCs personality too much, and I love the translator even more for word switching, Either way, I want Argento to insult some more flatties!

On another note, flat awareness is a serious issue, I mean, if even Argen wasn't aware of her "illness" clearly something must be done, and soon!

How about "Bedhead"? Can we all just agree on "Bedhead"?

Spoiler

Behaki isn't fine at all.

 

Either they keep the joke as (Mister "Bed Hair King") or keep the original name "Neguseou-san".

 

Beside, the from the Novel, the Author use katakana ネグセオー  /  Neguseou (which means that was his OFFICIAL name, same goes with ヴァンピール "Vampir" )

She explains it to him using Kanji with the same pronoun 寝癖の王様 (Neguseou-sama) though.

 

TL;DR:

 

For example some animal similar to Lories / lorikeet

Spoiler

ローリーズキング (Katakana of Lories King)

literally translates to "Lories-King"

localized the nickname to "LO-KI"

Behaki is perfectly fine.  Neguse-Ou literally translates to "Bed Hair-King."  They localized the nickname and it's a lot better than I'd have expected, considering the... creative liberties taken with the rest of the translation.

 

I'll give you that her name should be translated as "Vampir" though.  Less because it's English but more because Vampir is closer to how her name should sound romanized.

In case you can't read the English name in the cover

Are those song references supposed to be there? I feel like those are just added by the translator themselves. :/

somehow i feel warm reading this. thanks for updates  

I'll read this mainly because of that translation style. I love the unnecessarily extreme reactions of everyone.

this napping princess is better than that other one in the demon lord's castle

I'd like to add to this in that they've translated every other instance of Arge's nicknaming. I'd argue that the entire point of her nicknames would be utterly lost without them being localised. A TL-note to an un localised nickname would also be, in my opinion, an inelegant solution.

Then you should also keep this horse's name "Neguse-ou"-san

 

Arge gave him that name for fun but it already became his official name.

I don't really like how you TRANSLATE his name.

For example a person name "Asakura Haruka" =>which everyone call her as "Asakura-san" or "Haru-chan" etc.

You can't translate her name to English "Cherry Blossom Spring" => and call her as "Cherry-san" or "Spring-chan" etc.

Or in this manga case. her name "Argento Vampir"

with (Italian) "Argento" mean "silver"

and (Turkish) "Vampir" mean "vampire"

You already keep her name as "Argento Vampir" and not TRANSLATE her name to "Silver Vampire"-san or "Sil-va"-san

Then you should also keep this horse's name "Neguse-ou"-san

I wonder if quote " Tig ol' bitty " unquote is gonna follow her into the next country.

Read the first chapter of Akame ga Kill. Actual, genuine, nice people should be respected, but the most dangerous use pleasantry to mask depraved intent.

am i the only one who finds the chapter translation a bit trollish?

not that i hate it but it did throw me off lol, didn't see that coming.

Return of the deplorable naming sense!

I haven't been this entertained by an MCs antics since Samon-kun, and a big thank you to the translators for using words like "Fuck." instead of the confusing Japanese interpretations.

All  Heil (second or even third) Napping Princess !!
