The Cradle of the Sea

Lighting a match in a tiny, enclosed wooden space when the weather is turning bad, possibly making the ship rock a lot? Not the best idea....

How the hell is that cap supposed to be a disguise? Is keeping her long hair hidden that important? This is a 19th Century British ship, a good chunk of the sailors would have longer hair than her. Just the way she's dressing would do it, since she could pass for a teenage boy, and no one would expect to see a woman manning a ship anyways.

Never have I thought lace gloves looked as creepy

 

Also Neal, is neat freak really the right word? Well I guess we don't know much about him yet but I feel like he was begging me to call him out as a vain narcissist. Does it even make sense for a neat freak to be working on a ship out at sea? 

Being a neat freak is positively useful on a ship out at sea.  A place for everything, and everything in its place . . . so that something improperly stored doesn't clock you in the head when the ship rolls, or an uncoiled rope snag your feet and send you to a watery grave.  Even being a clean freak about the ship has its uses.  For a wooden ship, the line between "keeping it clean" and "proper maintenance" is very blurry.  That's why terms like "ship shape", "run a tight ship" etc.

Being a dandy, on the other hand, is not particularly useful.

Thank you for doing so much work on this! I'm following with great interest.

Thanks for the update!

fascinating, i find myself wanting for more

I'm mostly interested in how all these characters seem to have connections to one another. Those little one page illustration of things happening tangential to the story make the network of relationships a lot more complex than I thought.

I appreciate the little note the author wrote about himself. =D It's nice to know how the mangaka got started. I'd love to see this published in english some day. Thanks Antisense!

I actually quite like the novel page what happened after each chapter. That's pretty cool.

I didn't realize when we started this that I'd be drooling over illustrations of pipes and steam gauges.

This is good so far, looking forward to more!! Thanks for translating!

I feel like this is going to be amazing, is it a monthly?

fuuuaaaaaaaaa

i found a gem!

Does Evan remember her?

Looks like it. So far the releases have been consistent in that manner. 

The tale of struggle of a maid and protecting her master's child and that amazing art.

This is too good to pass up.

This is too glorious to be missed

Monice is too awesome, Evans is so cute, the settings is magnifique and the plot seems interesting 
I love every bits of it.... u 3 u)

Yea, rock that child!

It could turn into a great little adventure if it stops with all the coincidences'n stuff. Chapter 3 was already pretty light on 'em and I guess that would work out.
 

Because there's so much sound effects in this series I wanted to know what the readers prefer. Should I just:

1. Avoid all sfx and not translate them.

2. Keep placing the sfx translation that are too hard to clean to the side of the panel. (What I generally do.)

3. Place the sfx translation next to the Japanese sfx. (An example can be seen on the spread page in chapter 3)

 

Thanks!

Nr.3 would be great, 2 would be totally fine too! o/ No need to overwork yourself just for a couple of sfx.

numba 3. Numba 2 for sfx like grabbing, throwing, action sfx?, 

Hmmm, I think what's most interesting about this manga is that I have no idea where its gonna go.
