Oh, it's horrible.

I speak enough Japanese to recognize when they're just literally translating what's been said, rather than localizing it a little bit. For example, in Japan, it's traditional, upon introducing oneself to a new person, to say "Please take care of me." This is roughly equivalent, and usually translated as, "Pleased to meet you" in the sense that it doesn't actually mean anything and is merely polite. In the fan translation, it's left in, and furthermore becomes "Please don't hurt me." While this is at times hilarious, it makes reading the manga sort of like reading Another-The Abridged Series.
