#### Humanity Has Declined
[MangaUpdates](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=50617) **|** [NovelUpdates](https://www.novelupdates.com/series/jinrui-wa-suitai-shimashita/)
**Translated by** [George Henry Shaft](https://georgehenryshaft.wordpress.com/)
**Description**:
>The story is set several centuries into the slow decline of mankind. Earth has now become the realm of "fairies" - 10-centimeter-tall (about 4-inch-tall) creatures with remarkable intelligence. The human protagonist of the story serves an important duty as the international arbitrator between the fairies and humans, and she returns to her former hometown of Kusunoki. She chose this job because she thought it was an easy job she can do, even when she is as old as her grandfather. However, she learns that her job is anything but simple when she meets the fairies.
**Notes**:
+ Please leave a comment if you encounter any issues viewing the epubs or there are any issues with the text
+ All 11 volumes have been [fully translated by George Henry Shaft](https://georgehenryshaft.wordpress.com/2024/01/01/humanity-has-declined-translation-release/) but they were released in pdf
+ I have decided to continue converting the rest to epubs. ~~I will probably upload again once I finish up to v07/8~~ Will upload up to v11 soon
+ As for the translation quality, I cannot really vouch for it since I haven't read it yet but someone on [4chan did make a comparison with baka-tsuki](https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/261479700/#q261487428)

Also regarding the translation, there is some interesting discussion about the translator on reddit

> Having given vol1 a cursory read... I'm not sure I agree with the modifications. While I do see some parts which are actually more accurate than my own translation (which I will revisit in my own work), there are some cases where there are additions which I feel are grossly extraneous extrapolations from the original text. I will continue with my own translation in the end. GHS's translation is frankly not friendly to the reader.
This is from the other translator working on the series.
Apparently G.H.Shaft is infamous in the VN community for his very dubious fan translations, personally I have no idea about any of this but maybe some of you do
