As far as official translation, you can buy the e-book version on the SJ app and they have the physical copies for sale in bookstores and Amazon and really most everywhere books are sold.
As far as unofficial translations go, I know there was at least one person on tumblr who posted their translation before VIZ came out with theirs, but I can’t remember their @ . If anyone does, pls let me know.

LMAO I didn’t even make the connect that he made Baccano! but I too love that animanga. One of the few anime I have the DVD set of.
Makes sense why the character interactions are generally well done since he’s obviously comfortable with a large cast.
But, yeah the battle scenes so far feel more like script writing for a manga/anime scene instead of an actual scene in a book, you know? It’s written in short hand. But to be fair, Shonen style battles benefit a lot from being in a visual medium.
Maybe it’s just because I’m thankful it ended, but I think after we get out of Hueco Mundo the first novel improves a lot. I know there needs to be build up but the Human World and Hueco Mundo portions (the battle portions) are just so bland and could’ve been cut out tbh and we wouldn’t lose anything and would’ve gained intrigue.
I’m sure it’s hard because he’s writing for an established property and he can’t just dive right into the story—he has to constantly walk a balancing act of giving info that happened in the manga but also not going too far in because he doesn’t want a bunch of exposition dump.
Also, who knows what gets lost in translation when there is only 1 translator, who I’m sure is also expected to do the editing considering lack of editing credits and the number of repeat words and typos.
But, yeah!! Bad battle scenes and most of the bad Bleach comedy relief is there with them but there’s definitely some good stuff when they’re over.

i actually love that stede refused to give izzy the time of day. fandom can have their izzy redemption but its really important that at least at this point, stedes inherent kindness does not extend to someone who tried over and over again to completely ruin his life. stede doesnt owe someone who went above and beyond bullying (turning him in to the AUTHORITIES) anything at all actually, especially when it was to get in the way of not just his happiness but also to try to control ed

also sorry for being aro on main but friendly reminder to view characters as individual beings if you want to fully understand them and analyze them properly. while relationships can be a way to push a character to a certain point of development and explore them better you gotta snap out of the fanon ship-enduced mindset every once in a while you just gotta

3 of them!
The third and final part of turning me and my siblings into demon slayers: my brother! He’s the only one out of the three of us that exercises regularly and actually does martial arts so he gets to be the strongest :P he’s also the tallest, like 10 whole inches taller than both me and my sister but he’s actually the middle child! And he’s only a year and a half older than me :)
For his weapon I wanted something similar to a staff but also containing a blade, because he showed me some staff forms one time for his martial arts club and it was really cool :0 so I’m not sure how viable the twin-blade staff would actually be in battle or how it would be made (but if the sword smith village can make kanroji a whole whip out of a metal blade then I think they can definitely make a scabbard out of metal). The way it works is that when sheathed, the blade is a full staff, and either side individually can unsheathe to make a spear. It can also separate down the middle to become two swords, which is much more effective for traditional breathing styles. Shougen is the only one strong enough out of the siblings to fight effectively without the assistance of wisteria poison.

I was very lazy when drawing this, especially the house, but like. It’s time for Ingo. Ingo time babey. Gotta dress to impress- who cares if the players house is jpeg-adjacent, they’re almost never there anyways.
They gotta make a good impression on the only other modern trainer on the continent. Only Ingo can understand the exp grind.
