The Husky and His White Cat ShiZun v1
(English 7Seas version) Notes 1 of 2
I finished book 1 of the Seven Seas' 2Ha! (Pronounced "er-ha" or "R-Ha", for those of you who don't actually speak Chinese ;p)
It was great. The translation is smooth and easy to read, and I feel like it conveys the story really well.
As I prepare to hand this book over to my non-Chinese friends, I do have a few notes.

So, I think the translators did a great job on this.
Even so, there are a few places where I think my background may differ from that of the translators, so the tone of a word or phrase felt wrong to me even though it was technically correct.
And I like how they kept the Chinese for a lot of words that don't translate well, but they didn't always put footnotes for those words or names, so I penciled a few in.
I hope this makes your reading experience even more enjoyable!
