Here's the twelfth chapter of the Gintoki + Kareshi (Vol. 1) series! Onto the summer season! Of course, we start with a pool setting, it was either that or the beach, lol.

Here is the artist's info: Artist: 縁ちよ Circle: あっと

Sakura is also very real for wearing a shirt instead of a bathing suit, tbh. I would too! (Where did Toki even get that translucent bikini from…) In any case, he got a wet-shirt moment, and we got a close-up of his abs with wet hair. Win-win~

Here's the ninth chapter for the school section of the Gintama + Kareshi series! Again, this is the second of three of the Toki chapters I wanted to translate first within this volume, so there is one more after this!

Here is the artist’s info: Artist: 泉飛鳥 Circle: 烈火

Ginpachi sensei~ the spin-off was so good, I hope you guys have seen it! They genuinely did it really well, I want another season so badddd. I fear I wouldn’t be able to focus if Ginpachi was my teacher…

Here's the second chapter of the Gintama + Kareshi series! I say second chapter because the first was actually Shinpachi, but I purposely only translated the three Gintoki-related chapters first in this volume 'cause I'm desperate for more Toki content lmao.

Here is the artist's info: Artist: 松本あずさ Circle: 狛江サロン

The artist definitely knows what they’re doing, drawing Gintoki like that, lmao. Mouth open and everything. But the moment he spun it back on the reader made me flustered (they’ve got the Toki smirk down! aaaaa). And then he licked the cream off? Man…

Here's the eleventh chapter of the Gintoki + Kareshi (Vol. 1) series! We finally finished through the spring season, hooray! (After two years...) Here is the artist's info: Artist: あおの Circle: 浅草土巴技研 Mmm, drunk Gintoki... he called Sakura to be a good wife someday (internal screaming). Also the fact that he made a lame pickup line like that made me giggle (yes, it would work on me). Also! A lap pillow moment! I wonder how Sakura felt in that moment.

Here's the tenth chapter of the Gintoki + Kareshi (Vol. 1) series! I should’ve expected the appearance of his famous "Gintoki Bowl" order sooner or later. Anko is basically red bean paste, for those who don’t know! I also really love the way the artist drew his hair here, it's super fluffy-looking~! Sakura now knows one thing: her and Gintoki share a sweet-tooth ^^ Here is the artist's info: Artist: 龍蘭あプり Circle: 杏★忍

A lot of the SFX that I can’t find a meaning for / don’t know how to describe will now be left alone for the authenticity of the original work. It’s probably better that way, anyway!

Here's the ninth chapter of the Gintoki + Kareshi (Vol. 1) series! Gintoki’s dramatics always make me laugh because what is he even covering up on his chest :sob: Here is the artist's info: Artist: 鳩町わこ Circle: PIGEONing Can you guys believe the last time I updated was July 2023… ahaha, ただいま！I’m now a college sophomore currently taking JAPN 101, and since the Ginpachi-sensei anime came out recently, I fell back into the rabbit hole of simping for Gintoki. How fun. Hopefully I can bring more accurate translations since I’m actually learning the language now! ^^

Here's the eighth chapter of the Gintoki + Kareshi (Vol. 1) series! Plenty of translation notes this time… Here is the artist's info: Artist: 羽井メコ Circle: sir.Z I wrote SFX: odor because it’s something about the smell of the food? (Wouldn’t really know how to make that a sound effect.) There were two dialogues from Sakura “つ” and “つつ~~” out of embarrassment, but I really don’t know how that would translate to English when it’s a noise? All I really understood was that the “tsu” is normally silent…could someone explain? Lastly, I wrote the “spl—ash!!” part myself! It looks really awkward, ahaha…

Here's the seventh chapter of the Gintoki + Kareshi (Vol. 1) series! I would like to go cherry blossom viewing at least once, it seems really peaceful. Sakura is successfully spared from Otae's cooking! Here is the artist's info: Artist: ユダヲ Circle: エスユダ I really, really like this art style a lot! It's probably one of my favorites from this volume. When Gintoki says that he really likes cherry blossoms, we think he's saying that he’s referring to us for a second. (I don't blame Sakura lol, bro really forgot that's our name too)

Here's the sixth chapter of the Gintoki + Kareshi (Vol. 1) series! Kagura goes straight to sleep, although she had to make a comment (as she always does, she's continuously funny). Here is the artist's info: Artist: キリセ Circle: すいとん Lazing around with Gin sounds like one of those episodes where they focus on the outside of the Yorozuya for a good five minutes and just talk. (Or the ones where it's super hot and they're all lazing around the living room.)

Here's the fifth chapter of the Gintoki + Kareshi (Vol. 1) series! Does anyone know what the main sign for the store translates to? I couldn't figure it out. Here is the artist's info: Artist: とうこ Circle: とうこ Help the part where he doesn't have enough money and then it just cuts to him with no clothes made me burst out laughing. (He's surprisingly nice here, hm?)

Comments:

Here's the fourth chapter of the Gintoki + Kareshi (Vol. 1) series! What does "Jomon-style" mean? I just put "SFX: Menacing" for the first page because I'm sure I don't have to explain the reference there, lol. A bunch of the text this time ended up going outside the text bubbles, which might happen more often. (I'm not sure how to properly format the text, tbh.) Here is the artist's info: Artist: チリ軒 Circle: 骨チン (I had to double-check that the artist's name is literally a dirty joke LMAO) And I absolutely loved the Neko Atsume reference.

Comments:

Here's the third chapter of the Gintoki + Kareshi (Vol. 1) series! The temporary name for the reader is nice, I like the name Sakura a lot. (Can't say the same for Hijikata's and Sougo's suggestions though, ahaha...) Here is the artist's info: Artist: 楠ミヒロ Circle: spica Random question, but do you guys think I should put a small credit thing on these pictures so people know I translated them? Like I've seen people put their tumblrs on them for some accounts here...I'm not sure if I should too, ahaha. Also, it seems like a lot of people want to eat sweets with Gin...mood.

Here's the second chapter of the Gintoki + Kareshi (Vol. 1) series! I couldn't really tell if the reader was like nervous or shaking before holding on tighter to him, so I just wrote "stare..." Here is the artist's info: Artist: 泉飛鳥 Circle: 烈火 The art style here's super pretty! Reminded me of the older shoujo art tbh. Sougo appearing out of nowhere made me laugh cause he just pulls up and goes "Hi. Get out of the car." lol
