Hi, I just read Mato-chan and quite liked it. It has a lot of stuff about insects, but at least its cute.
I translated the four first pages. First time I translated manga, so I'm not sure how well I could do it. :P
First page of the decade. Insect Judas forgot to translate a few small words in panel 2, but the awkwardness is still intact.
>>141
In panel 2 those are just sound effects of kids screaming ('waaa' and 'kyaaa').
When I translate cidada noises, I personally like to use "Zree" and "Zreet."
Bugpope here, I still haven't left "Lazy Holiday Mode", but the next page is under editing. In the meantime, enjoy this hastily shooped inofficial Azumanga Daioh/Mato-chan crossover I just crapped out.
>>142 Hm, I like "Zree", might change it in a later special edition.
I've now translated Mato-chan until page 82. And I like zreet too.
More fanse- OH DEAR GOD, THE HORROR!
New fan from /mgn here, hoping for more moe bug horror...
Welcome to the show. Also noticed that the BALLS! page is the featured image of the day. I suppose I have to get more edits done, then...
Gotta get my act together like Mato-chan has.
Nice to see the translation project is still going. (Another immigrant from /mgn/ here.)
Let's have some Touhou 4 Koma.
>>26 Well, considering this is a thread about the Touhou games, I'd suspect it's Touhou... Farfetched, I know.

In case you didn't know, that translation was completely made up.
Here is a correct one:

The fake translation is funnier, after all...
>>31
And actually, now that I look at the danbooru discussion, they're right about 無性. Its primary meaning is something like "recklessly" or "excessively." That said, 無 means "not" or "no" and 性 means "sex," so I'd be surprised if there weren't some sort of punnage going on in the fake Japanese version. So although the first line should probably just be "Man, I really wanna grab some girls' boobs" or something, throwing in "in a nonsexual way" might not be entirely wrong because of the pun. If there really is one.
anyway the rest should be right OTL
Looking up Kanji electronically is certainly easier than doing it by stroke count or by radical.
However, I'd suggest that if you want to learn Japanese then you shouldn't use the electronic lookup. Yes, using radicals is a pain, but it forces you to learn much more than you would by simply drawing on pad and letting the computer do the work for you. The dictionary method is a pain in the butt, but it does help you learn. It's pretty amazing how quickly you pick up Kanji doing translations the "old fashioned way".

I found this guy's method quite interesting, for evey kanji there's a mnemonic full of profanities that helps remembering on-yomi, kun-yomi and meaning of the kanji in a single sentence.
Really, all those profanities make everything easier to remember.
It's called Gaijin 4koma, and there's already a huge thread of it here. http://secchan.net/4koma/kareha.pl/1151430735/l50 If you had spend a few second searching, you'd find it.
Actually, there is a much debate over it's name.
Back when /b/ was not-as-shitty-as-it-is-now flame wars would start about it's name.
>>3 True, but there's still absolutely no need to start a new thread for it.
>>120I know it's not that good, but.
Oh, I remember one with haruhi and the gang doing the reactions.
Oh, I don't even remember what it was, but If you know what I'm talking about, please post it.
>>192
W...wow. Thanks for the extremely informative post.
Watch as I tantalizingly post an absurd image without any source information.

Sad that that amusing 4-Koma you found doesn't belong to a long enough series to deserve a whole thread? Well this whole thread is for just that kind of 4-Koma!
