Haha I actually forgot I was doing this. I'll just trans-dump some chapters and let you guys do what you want with it
Chapters 1-4 are online somewhere, just look for them.
[Top note] Summer!!! The room!!! Aircon!!!!
[Left note] Studying to become an author while being a shut in
"Onei-chan..."
"I've had enough of reading books with nothing but characters"
"That's not what someone aiming to be an author would say"
"The books I borrowed from you are difficult, so I wanna read something else for a change of pace"
"Like what? A light novel?"
"Manga"
"Do you wanna be an author?"
"Of course it's for learning. Even among LN authors, there are those who get influenced by manga and get ideas from it"
"Hmmm..."
"But manga's something that only idiotic children read, right?"
"That's wrong! Even adults read them!!"
"Look. There's a certain pirate manga that pretty much everyone read from childhood to adulthood"
"Well I haven't read it"
"Everyone says that even adults find it interesting and cry a lot"
"Hmmm..."
"Aren't they all morons? They're crying from manga"
"Why're you so mean to manga?"
"Hey hey, let's go read some together. You won't be in if you don't read manga nowadays either"
"You don't stay quiet..."
"So where do you wanna go to read them?"
"Book Obb"
"... the place you buy second hand stuff?"
"You're wrong. Browsing doesn't cost money"
We did it in Grade school too.
"There's no way I'd do something so destitute"
"If you go around looking real fashionable, you won't look poor"
"But then we'd look like we're completely insane"
>>148270376
What chapter is this ?
"Onei-chan, if you also wanna become an LN author, they say to read stuff aside from LNs. That would be manga"
"We're going out so get ready"
"Huh!? We're going?! Yaaaayyy!!"
"Huh? We can just walk to Book Obb, right?"
"We aren't going there"
"T... then where? The mountains? If you're gonna desert me, I don't have any sort of survival skills"
"Who do you think I am?"
"You can read manga there for sure"
it says poop there
They are so cute.
"Onei-chan! This place is amazing! There's karaoke, table tennis, darts, and billiards on the second floor!!"
"We came to read manga, right?"
"Th this is the first time I came to a manga cafe! Ah! Y you can drink juice here for free, right?"
Here we go
"I haven't been here much either after college"
>>148270830
Chapter 5. I left off at 4 so I might as well continue.
>>148270851
It does. It's Nico Tanigawa.
Spin spin
"Kanae, this is the manga you were talking about, but is this really interesting?"
"This is completely for children...!"
"I haven't read it before either, so I don't know. It's manga that sells, so shouldn't it be interesting?"
"Then you read it. Why're you reading a manga that looks like it has nothing to do with light novels?"
"Onei-chan, the works that I use to get references (plagiarize) from shouldn't be too popular"
"Everyone's gonna find out"
"Besides, this has nothing to do with it. This 'My black market lifestyle that I began in another world' might be interesting"
"That's an idea that could surprisingly work so it's hard for me to deny it......"
"I'm gonna get some juice"
"Onei-chan, you gonna have something to drink?"
"Wow! They also have ice cream!?"
[Sign] Soft Serve
All you can eat
"LN authors sure have it nice. Reading manga counts as learning, you can eat ice cream, and you don't even have to go to school"
"Isn't this place is sooooooo amazing!?"
"There's a lotta things besides karaoke too"
"I'll try out the darts"
"But for now, let's do some karaoke"
"There's a drink bar in the second floor too"
"Our tests our done in so many ways, so let's sing our hearts out"
Ahahaha
Whatever. I have my onei-chan...... I'm gonna be an LN author......
"Onei-chan...... there were some high schoolers who came to do some karaoke awhile ago"
"Even though reading manga's much more interesting"
"But now what? Should we keep going a little more?"
"Onei-chan?"
>>148271253
So cute.
"Whhewww.... To think I was gonna cry from a fucking manga... I feel like I gave into something for some reason......"
"Anyways, I'm glad I held it in in front of Kanae"
"If I cried despite the fact I was making fun of manga up to that point, I wouldn't be in a good situation"
"I surprisingly can't despise manga and LNs"
"Even I have to learn a few things, not just Kanae"
"Onei-chan kept reading her manga and didn't talk to me that much..."
"Well, we did come to read manga..."
"Onei-chan probably went to karaoke a lotta times, unlike me......"
"I don't even go to school so I don't have anyone to play with aside from Onei-chan......"
"This manga......"
"The freelancer protagonist had no friends, no money, and slowly became unhappy......" [TN: She uses フリーター 'Freeter', which I've seen transliterated before, but I'll localize it as 'freelancer' unless people have complaints]
"If I can't become an LN author as I am now, I might end up like this......"
"I don't even know if I can get a part time job in my case, so I might even be able to become a freelancer..."
She's seriously crying...!?
"Why's that girl wailing over a manga about the black market!?"
[Endnote] Onee-chan got interested!!
I remember that there was a TS who did ch4 before, maybe about 2 months ago. I dunno if he'll show up though. So if he doesn't I'll go look for someone else.
>>148271824
Lest me try something
>>148271824
I'm new at this sorry if it bad.
>>148270742
>This second panel
I WANT TO LICK ONEI-CHAN'S LEGS
>>148272294
Not picky about quality so it's okay for me. But I'll let the other anons judge.
>>148272294
Guy how good is this ?
>>148272294
I'm okay with this
>>148272294
Don't worry, it's terrible, but it's way better than reading it in a thread, so kudos.
>>148272294
Oh, I use quotation marks to differentiate what's in a bubble and what isn't. So you don't have to put them in
Right one more chapter then we're all caught up
>>148271388
Sorry if it bad.
The 5th chapter of the busy life of an aspiring novelist who sleeps and wakes up everyday [TN: Japan can't fucking count]
"Yaaawwwn~..."
"Oh Kanae. I gotta go out on work today, so make sure to study by yourself"
"Ahhh~... sure~..."
"Have a safe trip, onei-chan..."
"Sure sure"
"I'm going now"
"...hey why're you working!? Onei-chan!!"
"Don't leave me as the only NEET!!"
>>148273468
Just letting you guys know, this is actually chapter 6. Forgot to put it in
>>148273284
If I keep working on it maybe I'll get really good at it.
"You can't wooorkk! You're a NEET, onei-chan"
"Let go of me. I'm not a NEET"
"I may have quit my job, but they seem to busy now and I'm just helping out for today and tomorrow"
"Onei-chan, I thought you were a NEET......... in the end you were one of them..."
"I don't wanna lose hope, so I don't wanna think of you as my comrade, Kanae"
"It sure is boring without Onei-chan......"
"What should I do for the whole day today..."
"Oh, but since Onei-chan isn't here I can play games and she won't get mad...!"
"Here's your lunch, Kanae"
"? Mom, what's this?"
"I heard from Nozomi that you were going to the library to study Kanae, so I made it"
"I packed in a lot of your favorite food, Kanae"
"Onei-chan thought I was gonna play hooky if I was in the house..."
"I'd sure like it if she wouldn't snatch my own freedom away just because she herself was doing work!"
"If I play games until the afternoon, eat my lunch and go home, nobody would ever realize it!"
"When it reaches the afternoon, I should eat lunch there"
"I gotta go out on work today, so make sure to study by yourself"
"I packed in a lot of your favorite food, Kanae"
"The guilt......!!"
"Yeah I should head to the library..."
"I should read something until the afternoon for now..."
"That girl's here again... does she not go to school?"
"Well whatever, I should sit somewhere far away..."
"I should take a little break"
There's some seemingly idiotic grade schooler there....!
"Is she not going to school?"
"Huh!?"
"I slept again..."
"It's already past 12... I should eat lunch..."
"Whew"
"There's a hamburger steak, wieners"
"And asparagus rolls here"
This girl I don't know just sat next to me while I didn't know...
Wh wh what do I do...!?
"I'll feel like shit if I move seats..."
"Uh... ummm are you... not going to school?"
"Aee!?"
Sh she spoke to me...!? What should I do, Onei-chan...!!
"Y... yeah"
"I see... then you're the same as me"
"Huh!? Is this a girl?" [TN: The 'boku' thing]
"I do pull it together and go when it's a day that I have my favorite classes though..."
"Uhh, will you eat one of my rice balls?"
"Huh!? B but"
"I can't eat two of them..."
>>148273830
>>148274026
It little fun doing this .
"This is good..."
"Ah... I'm Hasebe Tamaki"
"Ah... I'm Mizuki Kanae..."
"Can I call you Kanae-chan?"
"Oh sure go ahead..."
"Kanae-chan. do you like books too?"
"Well I could say that I like it, but I'm reading them and studying to become a novelist"
"Novelist!?"
"I have a novel serialization"
"No way!? Wow!!"
"It's being serialized in a site called 'Let's become authors'"
"Ah.... that site...."
"You know it?"
"Y... yeah well..."
>>148274226
Deleted old post because it needed rewording
>>148274026
Try not to typeset random pages at a time or else nobody will get what's happening
"This is the novel I'm serializing on that site. You can read it"
"O... okay!"
"Wow! You sure can write for a grade schooler!"
"But I'm in middle school!!?"
"Huh!? I I'm sorry! I thought you were a grade schooler this whole time......!"
"Y... yeah... n... no problem!"
"So you're the same as me then"
"Umm, actually I'm also......"
"Why're there schoolkids here even though it's the afternoon...!?"
"Could it be a shortened day today or something!?"
"S...sorry. I'm gonna go home already today"
"Later"
"Later..."
"I got so tired when I worked for the first time in a while... being jobless is really the best thing ever"
"Did you make sure to go to the library and study?"
"Yeah I did"
"Pyyaaaaahhhhhhh!!?"
"Wh what!? What's wrong?"
>>148274312
Les me bump the thread op.
"M M My novel got a review from meguru-sensei!!"
"Who's that?"
"Onei-chan you read this right? He's the author of this book that's also being written on this site!!"
[TN: I believe this is the work she was plagiarizing in chapter 1]
"Seriously?"
"Eeeeeeeek!! I'm so haappyyy!!"
"Good for you..."
"So there're some strange people out there who'll even give their impressions on Kanae's shitty ass novel......"
Eeeek eeek [TN: In the bottom right of the panel]
"Kanae-chan..... I wonder if we can get along"
