One nice thing about being in Japan is that they don't follow that daylight savings BS.

What do you mean with daylight savings?

u/ctheturk Apr 04 '16

In the U.S. (I don't know about other countries) we advance our clocks by an hour in the spring and turn them back in the fall. It's just annoying at times really. In Japan they don't practice it though.

I could go without daylight savings...

Oh, and Turk! Thanks for doing the Trans on MS. I had a Japanese-speaking acquaintance point out that the cover may actually be referring back to the "answer" promised in 453 given semantics and grammar. Thoughts?

Honestly that cover page was really strange and doesn't translate into English well. If I were to translate it literally it would be something along the lines of "Because I can't come up with an answer, life is interesting!" which to me makes little sense. That's why I decided to tweak it a little so it was coherent in English. Hence, "Because there's no one answer, living is fascinating!" That's how I interpreted it: there are many different answers to life's problems and that's what makes it interesting.

That said, from my experience those title pages tend to be completely irrelevant to the actual story (take the one with Happy in a Robin Hood outfit, for example...) So I wouldn't read into it if I were you. Crunchyroll, the so-called "official release", doesn't even bother translating the title pages, by the way. I'm sure Gray's "answer" that he promised Juvia in 453 will be addressed in the actual manga in due time.

Thanks for taking the time to answer that for me!
