It took me so long to translate these past two installments because I was too busy CRYING OVER THEM. Really, though, as sensitive as I am and how deeply I feel things, emotions are a private thing to me and it’s rare that a piece of print media can bring me to actual, real-life tears. Ojisama to Neko has finally done it. This particular comic hits awfully hard, especially when you know how it feels to suffer a serious loss. Sakurai-sensei draws it very gracefully.

Remember what I said about crying-but-not-actually-crying? I guess I’m more like Ojisama than I realized. But I think Fukumaru is the one teaching the real lesson here- even if you’re not sure whether you’ll succeed at something, always try anyway. Your effort will make a world of difference. I think Ojisama would agree with that.

writing fanfic like “am i getting the dynamics of this friendship right?” “would this character actually say this?” “what is the proper ratio of kindness to sass?” “am i falling prey to overused fanfic personality shortcuts or is this a canon trait?” “am i overthinking this so much that i will grind to a standstill out of sheer terror?”
