Thank you, user. Hopefully you can complete the chapter before the thread dies. I hope the normal TL user is around tomorrow just to let us know he's fine.

That's all, was pretty fun but took longer than I thought, needed to try pretty hard to figure out the translations for some of the lines. It's pretty nice to see how each character adapts to this brave new world.

Oliver Allen
very effay chapter arigatou TLanon 2
Jace Kelly
Results I think are ok, I probably lean slightly more toward localizing to more natural English vs. using literal but more faithful translations.
Took way longer than TL user usually does though. I think I'm mainly just not used to translation, I don't mentally convert to English if I'm reading Japanese
Blake Wright
I would totally want dress with some strange attractors
Hunter Taylor
I know what you mean, I feel a strange attraction to Shimeji.
What do you think of the direction SS is taking? I think that these last chapters were less interesting than usual. Probably it's just the quiet before the storm of another plot development but I feel this is becoming a bit of a slog
These chapters are more exploratory "what if" scenarios. Tkmiz is probably existentialist at heart, read some western books about it, and knows thing or two about science. I like this combination. I take his chapters as little cute visual essays that are linked in some sort of story.
Storywise, there will be surely some consequences. Even ending with shutting down the simulation is in question.
Caleb Allen
Thank you TLanon2 and let's hope that TLanon is alright I cant wait to read her book "The Fish and its Property"
We are at chapter 32 and I feel like people still don't get the pattern of 7-8 sol and 2-3 plot chapters per volume. Also I don't undestand the obsession with plot, I care mostly about the characters, were GLT threads like that back in the day?
Cameron Hernandez
GLT had more of a clear plot though: reach the top of the city, so people were more invested
Thomas Allen
I liked it more when the SoL chapters were grounded in reality but with an absurdist twist: the hole digging club shenanigans, the Mosasa dogs trying to write the lyrics for their new song, Shimeji and Majime being gay and so on. Right now it feels like the plot has hit the brakes a little too hard. I don't want a battle shounen with Sis killing the Janny for the next 100 chapters but I was expecting something more from these last 2 chapters (even though I still enjoyed reading them)
I've always found SS to be a step down from SSR, but I do think is correct. It's best read not as a strict narrative, but as a look into whatever topic is fascinating tkmiz that month, with some absurd humor and CGDCT thrown in. Topology, linguistics, dreams vs reality, eating meat, the creative process... it's all just whatever is on tkmiz's mind as they write. Treat it like a good mangaka's journal given a loose story and it's a lot more understandable/enjoyable. That's how I've started approaching it and my appreciation for it has gone up immensely.
I wasn't sure about it right after the reality shift but I've come to like the new status quo. Even if the old world was more interesting to me, to be honest.
Thanks non-frilly dress TL user, your work will not go unnoticed.
Jason Bennett
>a look into whatever topic is fascinating tkmiz that month SSR was very much like this too. So many chapters start with the girls asking some basic philosophical question or end with some similarly fundamental realization or aphorism. What is war? What is culture? What does it mean to be alive? What is a home? And so on. You might say SSR had a more clear connection between the topics but I don't think SS is lacking one at all, it's just not as high-flying as "the meaning of life" or whatever other grand theme you would want to apply to SSR, but about more mundane matters about human connection, friendship, and day-to-day trodding along. In some way I find it more sympathetic and affective since it's closer to our own mundane lived experience. If anything, these latest few chapters have leaned more towards SSR's style, since the setting has now been blown wide open for addressing anything that comes to mind really.
So what you're saying is that we all need frilly dresses so we can get together with the TSanon and the original TLanon.
John Russell
The frilly dress gives you enhanced translation powers, but it also drains your life away. The wearer of the frilly dress is blessed and cursed in equal measure.
Jonathan Nelson
Thank you for rising up to the challenge kind user! You did a great job translating.
While you wait for the original TL and TS anons, please view the mistakes sprinkled throughout this chapter not as errors, but as evidence of the humanity of the people who translated and typeset it. Thank you.
Carson Baker
this this isn't the last page :(
David Hill
Lol. Good job user, the typeset looks good though I guess you managed to tilt a couple of Anons
Christopher Cook
good work. Yes you got me lol.
Logan Williams
This isn't the same or a similar font as the other typesets is it? I don't think I like this font.
Nathan Rodriguez
Eh, I think it fits ok though it's a bit more difficult to read than the one the other TS user uses.
I probably won't bother to upload this, it'd need a pretty strong QC pass, and the kerning on most of the text is wrong. It's pretty much just a stopgap until the people who are actually working on it get a chance to do this chapter.
Only if I do it. I will give it the respect it deserves.
Liam Collins
when will tkmiz make lain a main character
Jace Garcia
Hidamari-SHAFT style
Ian Rogers
Seeing the flying croc made me think. All the random images we had appearing behind characters as they were speaking (such as the croc for example) do actually tie really nicely with the literal physical manefestations of throughts we now get in SS, it was probably all nice and planned out by tkmiz. Top left dress is cutest, also it seems shimeji is flat not just on top, regardless she is a cutie pie. Tkmiz really outdid fishimself with those dresses, shimeji looks like she's about to go trick or treating. Love seeing the mosasa dogs again. >handholding before bed lewd This got me thinking, if you can will anything you can dream of into existance that does really reveal the limits of imagination, maybe tkmiz will explore this idea more. It can be easy to think that we'd be able to come up with many creative and cool things if given the right opportunity, but perhaps the vast majority of people do lack creativity, like majime only replicating what we've seen before. It could actually be a pretty depressing realization if you were free to do anything only to realize you can't think of anything meaningful or fulfilling to do with your life. Oh well ...
Thank you surrogate TL-kun Thank you surrogate TS-kun
People will eventually realise that they can imagine changes in other people, not just inanimate objects. Majime will use this power exclusively to change shimeji into someone who will finally let her push the beds together.
Caleb King
I hope we see the girls sharing a bed before the story ends
You know, for several years now, I've been curious about what it would be like if we could wear clothes that don't have to make physical contact with our body.
Ayden Reed
For... several years?
Xavier Smith
I first imagined it a few years ago, and every so often I'm reminded of it again.
Ethan Barnes
I often wish that I could live without my central nervous system making contact with my body.
Dylan Reyes
I wonder if you could do something like that with magnets. You could probably kind of do it with magnets around your neck and a cloak with magnets or you just inflate your clothes with air. Why does it intrigue you so, Satan?
Dylan Nelson
I'm far more passionate about fictional fashion than real fashion, so I understand you deeply
Aaron Kelly
I want clothes made of a similar material to octopus skin that would let you change its color and design on the fly. Basically active camouflage. Though it wouldn't be worth it unless you could control it with your mind. I don't want to have to download a shitty phone app for my cool octocamo for it to work, which is what would happen if it did exist.
As a kid I also thought about heated clothes to wear in the winter but that does exist now to some extent. I know someone that has a heated coat.
Admittedly, about half the appeal is the eroticism. If you're walking around without making contact with anything aside from your feet to the ground, I'd imagine it's as freeing as walking around nude, without risking the embarrassment of being seen.
Though, taken in a different direction, it could increase the chance of catching a naughty glimpse down someone's top or through the sleeve.
gee shimeji, how come your sis lets you have two typesets?
Jaxon Martinez
I also want to thank the user who made this: youtube.com/watch?v=YoouX1PkpaI The video introduced me to Inabakumori and now I've been listening to their music quite a bit. Sounds like it would work as an OP for a Shimeji Simulation anime adaptation!
Isaac Robinson
Weird to think my TL will appear on Mangadex, and quite possibly passed around to other places. But thanks TS user!
