translations doesn't work that way lol.. there will always be a discrepancy between translations whether if it's official or not.

Official is still official. It's like denying Kishi's own panels for some fan made panels.

*********** used to be a lot better but lately they make mistakes, I'd prefer to read MangaPanda's translations but their scans ain't as good and it seems to have longer loading time.

Yes I did. I'm actually trilingual. Still not up to my friend who speaks 6-7 languages....I swear he speaks way too many languages, and still he wants to learn more....

Sometimes mangapanda, sometimes ***********. Just read both. Also *********** have cleaner scans.

Manga Panda has a more natural dialogue feel to it while I think MS is a more literal word for word translation. I've always preferred MP.

Nowadays, MP > MS in terms of translations. MS's translations used to be so good. In fact, it was so good that VIZ tried to sue them. After the copyright infringement warning, they stopped working for a few weeks but they eventually came back. I think they learnt their lesson and as a result, they now intentionally alter their translations a little bit off from the literal Japanese meaning. Though, they also do that because they want to make their work more appealing to us readers, by making it appear more fancy. But there's a consequence to that - if they change it too much, their translations become rubbish, as evident in the past few months.

MangaPanda > *********** in actual Japanese text translation.
*********** just has cleaner scans, but MangaPanda releases the chapters earlier, so..
