This is the symbol of "behave like an adult".

大きいおっぱいにあまえたいとか。。。。? - wants to fawn on big breasts....?

Also this is the symbol of "behave like a child" (big breasts are the symbol of "mother").

So, it means just literally.
But also it means "since he behaves like an adult usually, he also wants to behave like a child sometimes."

Hmm....I see, I see.
I didn't know about the meaning behind those phrases, but also I couldn't get how a phrase ending with "から" would connect with another phrase ending with "とか".

Thanks for the help.

Yes, this "とか" is translated as "or something" literally.
And this means the sentence is her guessing.
So, often translated as "I guess~" of the start of the phrase.

sorry but can some one tell me what this says/give me a summary?

I found this on a VN a LONG time ago and lost the picture.
I don't see "18" anywhere.

It basically says that you should complete the original game before playing this one, because it's an extra.
It also mentions that this might indirectly answer the questions he received from fans, and is generally a deep and pretty dope (sic!) story. So, be warned and be warned.

And I am having doubts again.
So I was translating another afterword, and there are some things I'm not sure of:

https://e-hentai.org/s/aacc5587bf/163723-23
ごちゃっ、と居る感じ
Is it something like "messed up"? He was talking about the order of preference for Touhous.

https://e-hentai.org/s/15d9fb8d60/163723-24
Does 酔いネタ have any particular meaning? I figured it was something like weird jokes (as if people saying them are drunk?).

Then ちょっと長い間暖めすぎてくさってたっぽい
I googled it, and it seems to be used with ネタ, usually like this 温め過ぎて腐ったネタ

気がつけば魔理沙周辺にごめんなさいしないといけない漫画になっていました
"Before I noticed, it became such a manga after which I have to apologize to everyone around Marisa", right?

I feel ashamed that I have to rely on you guys too often, but, well... You help me disentangle difficult sentences and understand Japanese better, for which I am truly grateful. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

EDIT: Oh, and also the title. Is it an Anpanman allusion (atama no naka no anko)?

Well, I can't help out right now as I'm not as experienced as the others here, but translating on these forums is a team effort, is it not?
You only get better in the presence of the wise, is what I personally believe.

If any of you translators out there may also assist me, what is the meaning of ポルチオ?
While working on my major project, I noticed that this has appeared a few times, yet never understood it. Any advice?

Isn't the author just saying that the order from those after Remilia isn't well defined? At least that's how I understood.
Something like: "After Remilia, a, b, c and d are stuck together".

Hmmm....can't say much about this one. I understand that he's saying that the joke got out of hand...

...therefore, before he noticed, the manga turned out to be one where Marisa&co. are the victims of a bad joke, for which he have to apologize for (to the characters involved).

Means "in a close race".

The word "酔いネタ" doesn't have exact meaning.
Some ppl means "an idea which was come up during drunk".
Some others means "an accident during drunk".
Also some others means "a scenario with some drunk characters".

QUOTE(pesu @ May 10 2013, 13:01) *

It means "the idea has been left for long time, so it's obsolete and not refined".

pesu already exactly pointed.
But in the context, that "ポルチオ" doesn't have exact meaning.
So you can simply translate it as "womb".

At least, I was on the same project and translated as so. lol

It's not 酔い, it's 酷い.

Oh. Damn. Now I feel kind of stupid.

Thanks for the help everyone!

The only thing left is the title. Do you think it's an Anpanman allusion? Or does atama written in katakana has some weird meaning I'm not aware of?

Could be a joke with the movie "私の頭の中の消しゴム" (http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Watashi_no_Atama_no_Naka_no_Keshigomu)

艶やかな肌と射精のコントラスト、 聖と俗を一身にやどしたその神聖を超越したその姿に心を奪われたとしても、非難する人間は誰も居ない。
I can't seem to understand the meaning of the part in bold. I can't make sense of that double "したその".

And while I'm at it, I'd like to ask how is "捧げ物” used. When someone says: "私は君の捧げ物です。” does it mean "I'm your offering/sacrifice" (as in, you're using me as an offer/sacrifice) or "I'm an offering/sacrifice for you" (as in, someone or myself is using me as an offer/sacrifice for you)?

Thanks.

I'm feeling lazy at the moment, so I don't have a full answer, but した is part of やどした (a past-tense verb). Figures. There totally are two したそのs. =/ In any case, it's just a verb phrase describing the その phrase...

The structure is:
even if(としても) 心を奪われた by(に) 神聖を超越した その姿 which/that(その) 聖と俗を一身にやどした.

QUOTE(shadow_moon @ May 11 2013, 18:15) *

Need the context for accurate translation.
But maybe latter one.

So....it's something like:
"Even if my heart was captured by the transcended holiness of the figure of that one body which bears both the sacred and the vulgar,..."?

And about the "捧げ物", I'm more familiar when it's used with the "(A)は/を(D)への捧げ物です", where A is what is being offered for D. If I take the "へ" away, it becomes unclear, for me at least, what's the order of the things involved.

It maybe become a complicated sentence if you want to translate it literally.
Like:
"even if my heart was captured by the beyond-holy-figure which harbors both of holiness and vulgarness"

That's why I said "need the context".

"の" of (non-post positional) particle has many meanings.
Like: "of", "by", "for"

And good writers of Japanese often reword "の" into different words for preventing from misunderstanding of readers.

BTW, "(A)を(D)への捧げ物です" is unnatural Japanese.
"を" is particle for an object. Not for a subject.
