Translation

  • Context: Fukuda Shinta 福田真太 warns fellow manga artist Niizuma Eiji 新妻エイジ.
  • Niidzuma-kun wa puro toshite no jikaku ga nasa-sugiru
    新妻くんはプロとしての自覚がなさ過ぎる
    Niizuma-kun, [you] lack self-awareness as a professional too much. (literally.)
    (double subject construction.)
    • You don't seem very aware that you're supposed to be a professional, you don't act as such.
    • nai
      無い
      To not have. To lack.
  • {jibun ga tanoshiku kakitai} dake nara doujinshi demo kaitereba ii
    自分が楽しくて描きたいだけなら同人誌でも書いてればいい
    If [you] only {want to draw having fun} then [you] should just draw a doujinshi.
  • shikashi {"Janpu" de kaku} puro nanda
    しかし「ジャンプ」で描くプロなんだ
    But [you] are a professional [who] {draws at Jump}.
  • {dokusha wo tanoshimaseru} koto wo dai-ichi ni kangaenakereba dame da
    読者を楽しませる事を第一に考えなければダメだ
    [You] have to make {entertaining readers} the number one [priority].
    • In other words, a doujin draws doujinshi to entertain to entertain themselves, while a professional draws manga to entertain the audience.
