My personal policy is keep the translation as factually correct as possible. Don't assume all readers are stupid, and even if the littl'uns don't know what the USSR is, it's up to them to find out, or you could include a simple T/N to explain it. This is how one learns from reading, even if the reading material is manga. Hell, I learned an awful lot from reading manga.
But yeah, the whole team did a wonderful job scanlating this
The series that the author started from the one shot ended up going nowhere and I guess either got cancelled by the editor or the author just stopped drawing it so it was sort of whatever. It's a nice one shot though. Like 99% of the 4 seasons winners.
Ohhh, I get it.
The conversation with the robot was my favorite.
Yeah, you're right, it was the Soviets. But I think Russia is fine as there are now a lot of readers who were born after the collapse and never knew the USSR (I'm old, I do).
And thank you! But it's not just me, there's a whole group of talented folks at work here. I'm just the loudmouthed one!
ちっす
Chillin' on the spaceship. I'm down with it. I was expecting dark, but really it isn't.
This is really cute Well down Miz ^^
(Because I'm a nit-picky piece of trash: It should be the Soviet Union, not Russia.)
"Like a Laika" well it's a dog's life.
(nice art style)
