[jeffjeff]

Oh my, I hope if there are 5 chapters they are long (relatively speaking) and full of content. I really am excited to see what happens next now that

You'll just have to wait and I think it says somewhere here not to ask.

There "Valve time" principle. "When it's done - it's done." But I think all volume would be translated in 2-3 month.

Looking for a good word for 裏. It is being used as a noun.

The context is kind of the opposite of legal, public, official and above board. It was used a little in other books but, I think it will be used a lot in the current arc.

So far the closest I have is underworld. However, I would like a better one.

Underground or illegal circles? It sounds like you need a word or short phrase to describe an unlawful area/society.

Just to be sure vol.14 will be translated right?(sooner or later)

Yes it will. Sashiko is working on it, but he's sorta the only translator right now as the other translator has RL to deal with. So be patient and wait. You shouldn't ask for progress. Sashiko will let us know progress when he chooses.

Another word can be black market, shady dealing, bootleg, or illegal sales?

[Sashiko]

Thanks for all your suggestions. Unfortunately, I haven't yet seen one that captures the complete context.

Ura in general means the backside, the bottom side, the side beneath the surface or the unseen side etc.

Examples of characters who operate in the Ura so far would be No Head Dragon, Zhou Gongjin and Nakura.

Maybe 'The Unseen' or 'The Underneath' or 'The Underside' do any of those sound cool enough.

I would really like to avoid using Underworld because it is associated with only criminal activities and there are clearly a lot of political goings on in the Ura as well.

Can you tell us where it was used in the previous books? It might help us to find something suitable.

[Sashiko]

I don't remember any specific references but then I didn't translate the No Head dragon scenes or Zhou and Nakura's meeting. So I don't know if has come up in prior books.

It felt like I had seen a reference to it before but I can't remember if it was an earlier chapter of 14 or a different book.

However, I kind of feel like named or not, it has been sort of there for a while. What with the information brokers and Kouichi employing Nakura as someone who can be assigned illegal activities and disavowed if caught.

like shady dealings or grey market?

Underhanded or unofficial or off the record?

[seitsuki]

Sounds like the 'dark side' (of Academy City!)
