Can anyone come up with a decent translation for this title: 百華乳乱 ~UZUME~ or should I just leave it romanized. It kinda stumped my translator for the project.

I'd vote for leaving it romanized. I just asked a question about a title also to make sure it wasn't something I didn't know about and couldn't find online, but apparently titles can be made up compounds the artist randomly creates that don't actually mean anything.

on readings are: (included common kun readings for 2)

百 = hyaku / byaku
華 (=花) = ka / ke (kun reading = hana)
乳 = nyuu (kun reading = chichi / chi)
乱 = ran / ron

So I mean you could just cobble together a mash of stuff and it'd be as good as anything.

Given the fact that it's an obvious pun on 百花繚乱 (hyakka ryouran), it's clearly meant to be read "Hyakka Nyuuran"

Lots of semi-solved riddles in here!
I'll give my two cents

QUOTE(SiegLord @ Oct 7 2016, 17:17) *

Anyone able to give a quick translation of the following? I was wondering if sex change/genderbending was implied.

性転換系


I'd say yes, it's possible gender-bender (or body swap) is implied... searching for galleries with "性転換" for instance gives results of that sort.

QUOTE(CapableScoutMan @ Oct 8 2016, 05:54) *

Could that be referring to knotting?

I think that's it. To explain further: dogs can get stuck for a while after sex; it's a phenomenon called 'knotting' or 'tying'. So, he's saying something like "you're as cute as a dog stuck after sex", most likely, as bizarre as it may sound...

As mogugu says, Hyakka Nyuuran would be the romanized reading, as it's a pun on hyakka ryouran;
in this case, by searching a bit, i see this work is not related to the series with the same name (hyakka ryouran samurai girls), so adapting it in something like 'hyakka boobran' probably woulnd't make too much sense.
The meaning of the expression, according to a j-e dictionary, is 'a gathering of many talented beautiful women' (metaphorically, from the literal meaning 'many flowers blooming in profusion')
So, changing one character to boob would give something to the effect of 'Many Talented Beautiful Tits'.
I don't know.
Going with just the romanization would be the safe option in any case.
edit: I overlooked the UZUME... which seems to be the name of the main female, which makes me question the number of talented beautiful tits involved, so, maybe, just 'Uzume - Prosperous Talented Beautiful Tits'? I tried.

Here, 'You can't turn a shit onahole into a woman, no matter what you do', staying literal
どうしても is the 'no matter what you do' part, which could probably be omitted in english, or changed into a 'just' just before 'can't': You just can't turn a ... into a ...'

Hyakka Ryouran was its own word long before any series used it in a title. You can look it up in almost any dictionary.

Like all other classic four character sayings, though, it doesn't really translate well.

Yeah, I know, and I did find it in a dictionary, as I mentioned, somewhere.

I mentioned that series just because I was considering going for something like 'Hyakka Boobran', and I imagined it could work only if the work was, for instance, a parody of that work... but in this case the work is original, so I discarded the option.

As for the 'doesn't translate well', well, yeah, but I wanted to at least try to explain the vague meaning and try to come up with something.
I'll do it one more time, since my last post might have been a bit too rambly.

The meaning of the saying:
1) lots of different flowers blooming together
2) lots of people of talent and beauty grouped together

Pun: substitutes one character (one of the two of the 'profusion' part) with 乳 (boobs)

Vague English meaning of the pun: lots of boobs of beauty and talent grouped together
But since the title also has Uzume, the main girl's name, it seems like the pun could just serve as a descriptor for Uzume, basically just alluding to the good qualities of her breasts rather than to the presence of a lot of them (other girls)... so it could just reduce to 'Uzume - Nice Boobs' (in vague meaning only).

From here one can try to come up with some viable English title, even if it's not easy to find a satisfying one... but hey, one can try.
Last shot:
Uzume - Beautiful, Gifted, Prosperous Tits

@N04h: Now that you mention it I'm not sure why it's abbreviated like that... searching around, it seems to be typical of some dialect ([en.wikibooks.org] Toyama):

Context always helps.
いけない often means 'you shouldn't', 'don't', 'you can't'; example: 食べてはいけない: You're not allowed to eat.
But here it's in katakana, usually used for the meaning of sexual release (as this same sentence shows), and is preceded by に...
So, while I'm tempted to just go for 'You're not allowed to cum', I can't be super sure.
Maybe I'm overthinking it too?

Context is dude has got some sex slaves tied up with vibrators stuck in their pussies 24/7...to イクにイケないようにする...I think it might mean something like always wanting to come but unable to...but considering they have got vibrator's in their pussies I thought that wouldn't quite make sense lol. I think I'm gonna try and write something that makes sense for both the context and the grammar. I didn't think it would be not allowed to since it was written in katakana which made me think it must be some form of plain form + に + verb stem + ない grammar which I've never seen.

Yeah, sounds about right...
To me it sounds like the dude is planning to set the vibrators in such a way that the ladies never come;
Basically, I'm reading the sentence as: 'I'll make it so they won't come, even if they try'
Which reminds me, there could be some grammar about this... I'm just recalling vaguely that the meaning is something like 'try as you may (doing some action), you won't (do that action)'
Unfortunately I'm not able to find a source for that grammar point... will edit if I do.
edit: the best I could find, just a sentence using the same structure with translation...: [detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp] http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/qu...il/q10127748750

Hey! I basically guessed it was that, but thank you for finding the chiebukuro page. That's basically exactly what I was looking for.

Could someone clarify what ningengotoki means?

人間ごとき

Was in this line:

ningen gotoki ga konna chinpo motteru nante <3

Context is it's a succubus having sex with a human with a huge penis, commenting on his penis. I'm just not sure what ningengotoki means exactly. At first I thought it meant like "human trash" but from the vague stuff I'm seeing online I think it just means human or human creature? Anyone know? Thank you.
