Dirty pool there....very dirty pool

It always feels bad being nose-dragged by friends to do something without your own knowledge.

Btw, a successful trick by Ran.

ahhhh I'm glad to see Ran back......

I would have went "NOPE" when I heard Big sight at 8am.

Why? Now Kogasa can spring an equally big chore on Ran with no notice.

That was a mean little trick, Ran. Getting Kogasa-san to show up to help without telling her what she's going to be doing. Hopefully a time will come when Kogasa-san can get a favor out of Ran in return! Do your best, Kogasa-san, and try not to get too mad with Ran.

This is the 600th strip, but I couldn't come up with any good jokes so I just did the usual update (lol). Comitia100 is the second largest assembly of doujin circles in Japan, right behind Comiket itself. My second strip was about an original work only event ,but the truth is that this was the first time I ever participated. There aren't many copies of the new series so they run out pretty quickly.(^^;)

Reader added tags include: "It's just a (job) offer, Kogasa-san," "What are you expecting? (World War III )" "Just use ya shikigami, Ran-shama," and Ribbons, Catnip, and Me "(NSFW).

This poll deals with those obnoxious destroyers of peace and tranquility (ringtones).

What kind of ringtone do you use?
• The regular ringing sound
• A favorite song
• Video game sound effects
• Anime quotes
• Vibration only

I'm actually not all that sure about those last two sentences in his commentary. The thing about Comitia100 is just a little explanation I added myself since the translation notes removed the purpose of Kogasa-san's original comment.

I like this poll; I use my favorite songs as my main ringtones, while using video game sound effects for messages. It's the perfect combination. Vibration only and the regular ring sound are boring. Might try anime quotes sometime.

Being on call 24/7/365 I have a love/hate relationship with ringtones of any kind. In general, I use something aggravating enough that at 3 in the morning I'll answer it to shut it up but not so much that I launch my phone into another room.

Mostly well done, but if you have explanatory material that extensive, don't include it as part of the translation, write it as your own commentary. Otherwise, it's misrepresenting the author's original text, I feel. I understand your reasoning, but I fixed the translation both to reflect what it actually says and to make Mizuki-san's comments worth keeping—like so:

This was my 600th strip, but I couldn't think of a good gag, so I went with the usual update. :-) "'Tia 100" is, more accurately, Comitia 100. It's a no-derivative-work, original-only sale/display event, and the truth is, this was my first time taking part in it.

There isn't enough here to make a full story series, so I'll end it after just a few strips. (^^;)

Same here. I use the Dark Souls invasion sound on messages for a running joke with friends. It certainly gets people's attention. lol

Thanks for the pointer. I was waaaay off, heh heh.
