"Seigi no Mikata!" Chapter 4 (End)

It's time to say "goodbye" to our Cherry Blossom Hero.  Yep, this is the last chapter of "Seigi no Mikata!"  I wonder if we'll see more of Mikata and S in the future.  The ending felt more like the end of a pre-quel than the end of a series.  Oh well, still it was a fun series to translate.  I won't miss the typesetting though.

In this final chapter we are introduced to some of the other heroes in neighboring communities and a mysterious new "hero" shows up.  Heheh...ooh, yeah, it's beyond corny.  I so wanted Lily to be a woman.  That would have been too funny!

A few translation notes:
  • To make it easier, I translated the other heroes' wards to their base flower names in English. I thought it would cleaner than having a bunch of translation notes on the pages as they were introduced.
  • At the end, there's a bad pun because phonetically in Japanese the same sounding words can either mean getting hired onto a job or becoming a man's wife. We don't really have a single word like that in English, but I did my best to get that pun through in English without resorting to crudely saying, "from now on you're my bitch."
Okay, onto the release!

Zero-Sum Ward One-Shot: "Please Leave, Hero!"

Here's another short-gag one-shot from Zero-Sum Ward. I got a giggle out of it :) It's only 8 pages so there's not much to say about it.  If you like RPGs, this will be extra enjoyable!
