Wow I am liking this fast release pace too bad it will slow down once we reach chapter 51(hopefully I am wrong). I am really hoping Kishiro does not go on hiatus and have a more consistent release date after 51 but here's to hoping

Guess I missed something but what's with chap. 51?

Different localization / interpretations can lead to different naming.
To get more to the US release naming style, some characters are going to be renamed.

This is inevitable as some localizers go very liberal with naming and other go very literal.
Happened before, will happen again.
Its a never ending cycle of guessing the right (or wrong) names of people, locations etc. before the actual release.

So:

Unye Holberg -> Yunie (Yuni) Holberg.
Yōko -> Yoko
Albe -> Arve
Gerda -> Gelda

Thanks for your hard work. One request, though. Please don’t change the name Gerda into Gelda.
Gerda is the correct name. It is a common Dutch (and German) female name (in fact, my mom’s name is Gerda) It comes from the Germanic word ‘gard’, which means ‘branch’ (from a tree). It can also mean ‘enclosed (or guarded) yard’, or ‘Guard’.

Kishiro uses a quite a lot of Dutch names like Haverkamp en Jansen (for instance) and he used a Dutch map of Mars a while ago (during the treasure hunt/Muster arc).

I associate Gelda with the villain from Namco’s Rolling Thunder series (remember the Namco arcade game from 1987?)

48.2: Of course Yoko would eat a random leaf, haha. And I certainly didn't expect to see the return of that creepy guy, even if only for a while!

PS: If you ever decide to release another version, there's a typo in "unforeseen".

49.1: Not sure how to feel about a happy-go-crazy Yoko, but it's certainly interesting to watch. Is she getting "possessed" in a similar way to Yunie?

I really like the font that you're using for Gyapollo's family! What is it?

Yeah, that was my thought as well. I'm curious about Yunie - does this mean she ate a leaf as well? Are those leaves some sort of tickets to a panzerkünst hive mind/knowledge repository? (I mean, they certainly seem to be tickets to *some* sort of a hive mind.) Very interesting!
