Hariyama-san, Center of the World, volume 2: THE DON'T OF THE DEAD

hahaha it's been two years

the big untranslatable thing in this story is use of the word 温い, meaning lukewarm or tepid. it's used throughout the story to refer to body heat (neither hot nor cold), attitudes (indecisiveness or half-heartedness), or unsatisfactory results. unfortunately there's no good word in English that captures all these meanings.

Tales of Link, main story: 2.4.02 - Barracks ~Scream of Despair~, End

confession time: link has about fifty different ways of referring to its enemies/magic/evil stuff. not having played the global version, I am mostly making up what each term corresponds to in English. even more annoying is that most of them begin with 魔, which can refer to evil or just to magical things.

魔獣 (majuu): lit. "magical beast"; I've just been using the "ruinator" word for them. unclear if localization only used that word for 種の魔獣 (beasts from the Seeds), though, or if ruinator is the catch-all term.
魔物 (mamono): monster of the supernatural variety. I just call these monsters.
魔神 (majin): lit. "evil god," devil/evil spirit/whatnot. by the time they started talking about these, I was just about done and went with demons. they're a step up from the typical monsters.
魔性 (mashou): "devilish" in the adjective sense, but that sounds pretty stupid in translation.

so if you're wondering why the terminology changes, it's because the original keeps coming up with new words and I am crying.
