I woke up to a message from my friend saying "today’s Argnv comic looks like it’ll be fun for you (in a positive way)". I missed the second half and was like "oh no it's Kenta / Reiji / Fuuta isn't it" and then I saw it and was like oh hey that wasn't sarcasm!

... and then I realised the entire comic builds on a PUN.

suffering was experienced.

T/N:

• a long time was spent pondering that "beaten dog" ... the original was "makeinu", which is an idiom kinda similar to like, getting defeated, running away with your tail between your legs ... I tried a while to find a similar idiom in English and couldn't (ironically, I'd know what to do in German). so eventually I just settled on beaten dog cause that's used often enough and carries a KIIIIINDA similar meaning ... enough to keep the pun at least
• I also spent a long time thinking that final speech bubble was Nayuta before realising that it's more likely to be Ren with how the speech indicator thingy is curved. it's also funnier if it's Ren. so Ren it is
• I ALSO thought initially that the yellow text was Yuuto and not Ren because it said "ore", not "boku", which is most likely just an oversight cause why would Yuuto say this about himself anyway
• "where am I going with this" is kind of a liberal translation but the idea is the same and I can't think of any more literal thing that sounds good in English anyway. I like it like this. it's funny
• and lastly, please appreciate the effort I put into redrawing the backgrounds to insert the sound effects it's such a thankless job ghdkfghk
