[X] My Assistant

Where I come from, adding "or whatever" to a noun or phrase does exactly what you said: it emphasizes that the noun or phrase is no big deal. But yeah, I could just drop it.

Fair enough, I guess it could do then, but isn't it kind of valley girl type of speak? Ryuuko has a complete opposite, tough-girl kind of way of speaking so it seems a bit out of character to me.

Jeez, still moonrunes.

Maybe "ここの味", "顔から味" or something?

Merry Christmas, EHCove.

Sorry about this. The story I'm attempting to translate gave me quite a bit of trouble, so I have more questions than usual. Really hope you guys can provide some guidance.

Page 10
「強引に口淫して？」 (blurb above the girl's head)
Okay, this line is trivial (I don't always translate the bylines), but it doesn't make sense to me since the various J->E dictionaries give "oral sex" as the definition to 口淫, but there's no oral sex in the story.

Page 12
「仲良くできなかったらどうしようって…」(4th panel)
"I wouldn't know what to do if we didn't (still) get along..." ?

Page 13
「！！　いやあれはふふ二人で でしょ？」(last panel)
Is she saying that both of them gave the 「キスしてみよっか」 command, or questioning if that really happened?

Page 14
「何って　散々やった事　だろ」 (first panel)
Completely stumped by 散々やった事.

「あえてその事に触れないようにしてたのに」(third panel)
Something like "It didn't look like he would go so far as bring that (subject) up." ?

Pages 15 & 16
「あの頃」「子供ながらに感じていた 背徳感は」「俺達の時間を濃密に満たしていた」「それで満足していたんだ」(the stuff in the rectangular boxes starting on page 15)
Not sure what this rambling thought (thoughts?) is about.

And lastly Page 25
「大人に抵抗し何とか約束を果たそうと試みるも」(first panel)
By "大人に抵抗し" does it mean he resisted growing up (becoming an adult), or that he resisted against adults?

Grateful for any help.

I think it's mainly used as wordplay because it's read as ごういん　に　こういん. Plus, the kanji is mouth+lewd, so I guess it could mean indecent kissing if you stretched your imagination really hard.

Page 12
「仲良くできなかったらどうしようって…」(4th panel)
"I wouldn't know what to do if we didn't (still) get along..." ?

Yeah, more or less. You could also go more liberal with it and translate it as "I was afraid if we didn't get along".

Page 13
「！！　いやあれはふふ二人で でしょ？」(last panel)
Is she saying that both of them gave the 「キスしてみよっか」 command, or questioning if that really happened?

The first one.

Page 14
「何って　散々やった事　だろ」 (first panel)
Completely stumped by 散々やった事.

散々やった事 has the meaning of "a thing done /a lot/often/to death/" here. So it's something like "Huh? We used to do it all the time!"

「あえてその事に触れないようにしてたのに」(third panel)
Something like "It didn't look like he would go so far as bring that (subject) up." ?

She's taking about herself, so something like "And I went out of my way to avoid bringing that subject up"

Pages 15 & 16
「あの頃」「子供ながらに感じていた 背徳感は」「俺達の時間を濃密に満たしていた」「それで満足していたんだ」(the stuff in the rectangular boxes starting on page 15)

He's saying that when they were kids, kissing like they did felt immoral and that /was enough/satisfied them/. So it's implied that kissing is no longer enough for them as adults.
I guess simple translation would go something like this: "That time was filled with a sense of immorality that we felt even as children. And that was enough to satisfy us."

And lastly Page 25
「大人に抵抗し何とか約束を果たそうと試みるも」(first panel)
By "大人に抵抗し" does it mean he resisted growing up (becoming an adult), or that he resisted against adults?

He just resisted against adults because he didn't want to move.

Thanks so much yobi00! Really appreciate it.

Wish there was something I could offer in return. OTL

Just a quick proofead to Zaku Zaku to make sure it's legit. I can see I'll need to fix some grammar, but is the translation worthless?

Hi, everyone!

Need some help with a single sentence form an afterword.
So the author says he's scared for the quality of his manga and then explains (?) it: （モニターの絵と印刷した絵では印刷絵の方が正確に出るので絵の状態がよくわかる）

So I get that "between the picture on my monitor and the picture that comes out from the print, the latter is more accurate", but the rest is kind of... huh?

So, any help appreciated (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

モニターの絵と印刷した絵では印刷絵の方が正確に出るので絵の状態がよくわかる

"As compared with a picture on a monitor, the printed picture is more accurate, so I/you can grasp the condition/quality of the picture well (with it)"

I have a slight issue understanding what 拓也と触れあうため知らないフリしてマシタ means on this page. I know what the 拓也と触れあうため part means, but the following 知らないフリしてマシタ part confuses me. Could I get clarification on this please?

She pretended not to know how to wear a kimono so she could do it with him.
知らないフリしてマシタ = pretended not to know

Could someone help me with the 6 small text bubbles on this page?
The chapter was pretty straightforward except for this page. I can't make sense of any of the bubbles here.

Edit: Thanks a lot Thira! Great help again.

It's like:
"ママが妊娠するまでの数回しかセックスしてないなんて真面目な父さんには感謝するよ"
"Since he had sex with mom for only a few times till you got pregnant, I must thank to my serious-minded father."

"ママはお嬢様育ちだからってフェラやクンニどころかオナニーすらしてないとは思わなかった"
"Though I know you were unsophisticated, I didn't know that you have experienced neither blowjob nor cunnilingus, also no masturbation."

need translation for

究極奥義
必殺

need translation for

究極奥義

From: [jisho.org] http://jisho.org/words?jap=%E7%A9%B6%E6%A5...&dict=edict
and: [jisho.org] http://jisho.org/words?jap=%E5%A5%A5%E7%BE...&dict=edict
I would go with "ultimate knowledge" or "highest esoterica," depending on context.

The former seems a little prosaic for the phrase, however.

It depends on the context, though. You might want something overblown and poetic, like "a sphinxian riddle" or "the fruit of the tree of knowledge," depending on the context.

必殺

I found this: [jisho.org] http://jisho.org/words?jap=%E5%BF%85%E6%AE...&dict=edict
Does this fit in context?

I am using

ultimate technique

and

killer move

Also, often "必殺(技)" doesn't mean "killer move" but means "the trick that you can't evade even you know this trick well".

Well, this is too explanatory but lol.

In this meaning, it's similar to "必中(surehit)".

Hello!

Again, I have some sentences where I'm not really sure about and wanted to ask if someone can check if my TL is ok or not:

1. ちょっといいかね？ (https://e-hentai.org/s/3fbba922a9/470723-21, 4th panel)
Is it more like "Do you have a moment?" or "You have a moment, right?" or completely different?

2. キミを見ていたら我慢できなくなってしまったよ (https://e-hentai.org/s/6693ae09ec/470723-22, 5th panel)
"When I was looking at you, I just couldn't hold myself back!"

3. キミのような娘を接待に寄越すなんて…最初はそう思っていたが (https://e-hentai.org/s/6c1ca65f6b/470723-23, bottom-right panel)
How is "キミのような娘" meant here? Something like "A slut like you" or rather "an unusual woman like you"?
I translated the sentence like "At first, I couldn't believe they sent over a girl like you to welcome me, but..." for now.

4. (IMG:[thumbnails110.imagebam.com] http://thumbnails110.imagebam.com/29936/9e3950299358228.jpg)
What are the characters after "ケツ"? I can't make it out :-(

5. いくら喜んでもらえたからって…… (https://e-hentai.org/s/db6632d334/470723-25, 2nd panel)
Is "喜んで" refering to herself (because she gets happy when she makes other men happy) or the men whom she makes happy? I translated it as "No matter how happy it makes me...", but I'm not sure.

6. (IMG:[111.imagebam.com] http://111.imagebam.com/download/t0kh4qIWR6RtT6CpDASmsg/29936/299359684/pic2.jpg) (https://e-hentai.org/s/833e0be12c/470723-26, top)
Can someone tell me what's written in those bubbles? (I can read "くくくく…" and "ハア　ハア", but am not really sure about the other ones)

7. ……フリ？ (https://e-hentai.org/s/389946e34e/470723-41, bottom)
No idea what this means :-(

Thanks in advance for your help!

Is it more like "Do you have a moment?" or "You have a moment, right?" or completely different?

Kinda that.
Or, like "(can I bother you) real quick?"

"When I was looking at you, I just couldn't hold myself back!"

Right.

I translated the sentence like "At first, I couldn't believe they sent over a girl like you to welcome me, but..." for now.

Yes.
Simple "girl like you" will be fine.

What are the characters after "ケツ"? I can't make it out :-(

"なんといやらしいケツ穴じゃ"

Is "喜んで" refering to herself (because she gets happy when she makes other men happy) or the men whom she makes happy?

Refering to the men.

Can someone tell me what's written in those bubbles? (I can read "くくくく…" and "ハア　ハア", but am not really sure about the other ones)

Maybe:
"すぐ済むから(な)"
"まったくエロい体し(おって)"
"(イヒッ)ケツ穴じゃあ"
"どうじゃ"

No idea what this means :-(

This "フリ" means "lead-in".

So, the sentence means:
"Are you leading in?"
"Do you want to let me do it?"
or something.
