Trivia

Manga fan translation vs official — A comparison of the unlicensed translation (left) and licensed translation (right) of chapter 5 part 3

In addition to the officially-licensed English translation, an unlicensed English translation made by fans was also released. The fan-made translation covers the manga up to chapter 58. Some dialog in the unofficial translation differs considerably from the official translation, causing some jokes to not work as intended. However, the licensed release also uses somewhat more liberal translations in certain parts, likely in order to better get the vulgar humor across.
