Any good way to differentiate 愛 and 恋 as nouns?
The phrase in question is: 愛だの恋だのくだらねぇぜ
"Liking or loving is useless" is what I thought at first, changing the nouns to verbs. Anyone have any suggestion for this?

Yes, I made a research on the subject before and found some links, including the first link you posted. The second one has some interesting inputs too, but still no easy way to translate. I guess using "affection and love" works good enough here.

"愛" = blessing, mercy, charity, favor, pity, love, affection
"恋" = love, yearning, adoring, sighing, thinking of

In most cases, "愛" means a "giving" portion of "love", and "恋" means a "yearning" portion of it.

Sorry to ask again, but what's the meaning of
スっと言ってくれよ！おこくらい！　言い直してまで言うことじゃないよ
from the last panel of [dl.dropboxusercontent.com] this page? (Especially the "おこくらい！" and "言い直してまで言うことじゃないよ" parts.)

Thanks to shadow_moon's earlier help I thought I got the gist of it, but a different translator offered the opinion "idk about the おこ stuff in the bottom it slang im not familiar with"; and now I feel uncertain whether I understood it or not.
Thanks very much, yobi00. It... never would have occurred to me that the conjoined speech bubbles had different speakers. Dang, this is frustrating. But anyway, thanks for clearing things up.

おこ is slang meaning more or less 怒る originally used by gyaru (ref: [dic.nicovideo.jp] http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/%E3%81%8A%E3%81%93 )
The girl was going to use 怒る, but changed to using おこ half-way in the right bubble in the bottom panel.
The guy comments on it in the left-most bubble, so it roughly goes something like this:
Girl: スっと言ってくれよ！おこくらい！= Go on! Give it to me straight if you're ticked!
Guy: 言い直してまで言うことじゃないよ=It's not something worth the trouble rewording.

あンツ...

A missed line, I'm sure it's just a moan but I don't see it any matches.

Hello, I had some questions:

1. 子供の頃からこうやって孤児院の中で生活してた当時の環境は今よりもずっとひどかった (https://e-hentai.org/s/a78bdf1599/661506-152, 4th panel, black bubbles)
Is she saying that she lived in THIS orphanage when she was younger? Or just any orphanage, not specifying which?
Because in the next sentence she says that the orphanage where she lived got destroyed and later (https://e-hentai.org/s/3c65cb9a8b/661506-157, 1st panel), it is told that the woman helped out in rebuilding this orphanage, so I was wondering if it refers to her original orphanage which was destroyed.

2. 私はただの孤児でいつかあの家を出ていく身 (https://e-hentai.org/s/a78bdf1599/661506-152, 1st bubble on last panel)
Was wondering what 身 means here. Is "出ていく身" a fixed expression? Does 身 just mean here something like "I" or "me"?

3. 理沙だけ入れてもらえて気持よさそう (https://e-hentai.org/s/d76a6a8f34/661506-165, 1st bubble on last panel)
Does "気持よさそう" refer to Alicia (who is saying this sentence) or Risa (who is having sex right now)? I was wondering if the sentence means something like "Just from watching how Risa gets fucked, I'm feeling good!" (since she's touching herself) or rather like a complain, i.e. "Risa is the only one who is getting fucked and looks like she's feeling good!".

Or just any orphanage, not specifying which?

This.

Was wondering what 身 means here.

This "身" means "身分/立場(position)".

Does "気持よさそう" refer to Alicia (who is saying this sentence) or Risa (who is having sex right now)?

Risa.
The sentences mean like:
"Since only you are getting drilled, seems you are feeling much better. Cum soon..., and make my turn!"

@Thira
Ok, thanks a lot! :-)

Can someone help me with this, please? Thank you.

床が崩れ、落ちていくあの瞬間……受け身と言えるほどのものはとれもしなかった。
When the floor collapses, that moment when I fall......

それでも、頭を抱え込んで体を丸くしたのは覚えている。
Still,

床が崩れ、落ちていくあの瞬間……受け身と言えるほどのものはとれもしなかった。

When the floor collapsed..., I couldn't have good landing fall(/Ukemi).

それでも、頭を抱え込んで体を丸くしたのは覚えている。

Even that, I remember that I held my head in my arms and rolled myself.

thank you thira!

Hey everyone. I have a quick question.

How would you go about translating "ラブセレブ"? I'm pretty sure it's "Love Celebrity", and there's actually a manga out there that has the same katakana translated the same way, so I'm fairly certain it's accurate.

Only reason I ask is because it's the title of the work (so it might just be standing in for some Kanji or emphasizing, etc) and because from what I can gather the title is a complete non-sequitur from the actual contents of the chapter.

Can anybody think of an alternative way to look at this, or am I just over thinking things?

Can someone identify the kanjis after 反射的に? I'm failing doing so...

Can't really think of any other meanings. Note that セレブ does not necessarily mean a celebrity, but might mean just a wealthy person.

I think it's たくさん落ちてたので　反射的に集めて　しまった

Note that セレブ does not necessarily mean a celebrity, but might mean just a wealthy person.

Now that makes much more sense! Thanks a lot!

Yet another troublesome translation.

Can someone think of a way to keep the pun with "大ゴマ" and "花咲く" in the following image?
https://e-hentai.org/s/fbddcd628d/605180-7

TBH, I don't even know how to translate 大ゴマ. Does that drawing technique have a name in English?

Can someone think of a way to keep the pun with "大ゴマ" and "花咲く" in the following image?

Simply, "大ゴマ" means "big panel (of the manga)" and "花を咲かせる" means "have(/draw) flowers (in the background)" (both at page 4).
