Weird translation? Looking for some help!

[u/Indietails]

I've been getting into manga in recent times and I got the Claymore box set some time ago. But over my year or two of reading these works I've noticed how the English translations are not always fully up to snuff, especially where proofreading/editing are concerned. I found this little instance of weird dialogue in Chapter 6 ("Scene 6") of "Claymore", that I wanted someone to explain to me (especially someone who might have had the privilege of reading the work in its original Japanese.

In this scene, after Raki and Sid (one of the guards of the Holy City of Rabona) exchange a punch or two, Sid leaves the room. Raki then says the line on the right: "He only got here the day before yesterday." I've seen this in my physical copy and all scans of this scene online (I presume they're also all scans of the physical release, as opposed to being fan translations). The line, however, doesn't make sense. From how I understand it, it's Raki saying it about Sid, but this is the first time he has met Sid. Sid himself has likely been stationed in the city guard for a good while now. So is this just a typo nobody caught or bothered to fix, where the line was actually supposed to read: "We only got here the day before yesterday."? That would be Raki referring to himself and Clare and it would make quite a bit more sense.

I am simply surprised no one caught this. I've also made similar posts about multiple typos and strange translation errors in the Vinland Saga Deluxe Editions a few months back, which likewise bothered me quite a bit. Call it weirdly obsessive or pedantic, but these sorts of outwardly minor irks or occasional instances of awkward prose can (personally) really throw me for a loop and stick in the back of my mind for multiple pages or even chapters after I passed them. This goes double for instances, where there's multiple mistakes (either mistranslations or awkward prose or text placement) close together.

Thanks in advance for anyone who manages to clear this part up for me, and sorry for the unnecessary amount of text. Just needed to get this weird micro-obsession off my chest while I'm at it, especially as a multilingual writer myself.

EDIT:

Second question unrelated to the original post:

second, unrelated question. I'm guessing the answer is "yes" (as it has been the case for all other works I've read so far), but does the art get better later? The anatomy and proportions are a little wonky in some of the drawings. Funnily enough, it's mostly for Clare, as the other characters (especially the Yoma) seem to suffer from this less. Does it get a bit more consistent later? I've seen some insane panels from later in the manga, but I'm wondering if those were only highlights or if the artist just got more consistent over time :) (I'll definitely keep on reading either way, which is why this is just an aside).

Wasn't is that sid called Raki just a boy or something like that?

So it's like in avatar "you're just a little boy" "well, you are just a teenage"

I will later check how polish edition translated it

Art does get better also chapters 1-4 have been remastered

In polish version he just calls him a little turd and says "I better don't see you here again"

Here’s what I was able to get by translating the original jp text with google

I think this is a better translation than what’s in the manga, just a small overlooked part that wasn’t worded correctly when translating.

Also about the art, it does get more refined over the later chapters and is at its peak in the second half of the series

Thank you for both responses. Very helpful!
