It took much longer than I hoped, but I’m finally able to start translating again. It turns out that raising kids and working full-time doesn’t leave you with much extra time. I have absolutely no guarantees in terms of a translating schedule, and I will only have a week before I leave on a small trip, but hopefully I’ll be...

With this, Book One is completed. I really love this chapter especially. Whenever I read the last part, it always sends chills down my spine. For a story that moves as slowly and calmly as this, it’s shocking to see just how much has changed since the start of Baldo’s travels. Just like the last volume, I’ll take some time...

There is a pretty big shift in tone with this chapter, taking us to a much darker and more mysterious part of the world. I have to warn readers this time around that there are some graphic depictions of animal cruelty in this chapter. Though there have been many animal deaths in previous parts, this time it hits a little...

This was the longest chapter so far, divided into three chapters in the original release. It also comes with two character illustrations and features a ton of great interactions. Baldo is starting to attract a lot of people to his side, and so the adventure only continues to get more fun. The food this time goes in a more Japanese...

Since I had some free time recently, I managed to get this chapter up faster than usual. Though I admit the food that makes an appearance in this chapter, the neuele custard, doesn’t sound particularly appetizing to me, I’m sure it will have a place in someone’s heart. The next chapter is a bit of a hefty one, so I...

This is a pretty short chapter and a bit of a strange one at that. I love hearing about the two moons, and the thought of what it must be like to drink under such a view gives me wonder. I can’t say I blame Baldo for his determination to do so in this chapter. If he knows one thing,...

We arrive at a more somber chapter now, after all the fun and excitement of the previous several ones. These are the moments I appreciate the most about this story, and I hope you feel the same way. Here’s to hoping all the villains of the world meet their reckoning.

We meet a fun new character this time around with ridiculous strength and a heart of gold. It’s always great to see these kinds of unique personalities interact with Baldo. And I have to say, the food in this chapter was torture to translate. Rarely have I gotten so hungry from a web novel.

We’re back this week with another lovely little chapter following Baldo as he gets taken to the past once more. Expect tons of sentimentality and food like always.

I apologize for the wait! Like I said in the last update, it’s been extremely busy around here with the new baby, but thankfully things are finally starting to fall into a good rhythm for my wife and I. Huge thanks for the donations as well. It has definitely given me the confidence to put aside some time and continue...
