How to say "Manage" in Japanese

When translating "manage" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 管理する and 取り計らう. In Japanese, 管理する (かんりする (kanri suru)) is typically associated with "to manage; to control; to supervise; to maintain" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Refers to maintaining, controlling, or supervising resources, systems, schedules, or health in a proper state. Often used as スケジュールを管理する or 情報を管理する. ⚠️ Haruka's Voice Column: 'To manage! "I want Haruka-san to manage my daily schedule and my entire heart!" ...っ! T-To demand me to supervise your life! B-Baka! Don't give me such massive responsibility! But... if you are giving me full ownership, I will strictly manage you with absolute love! No escaping! dummy!' / 【ハルカ部長のワンポイント指導】『かんり（管理）するよ！『ハルカ部長、僕の毎日の生活スケジュールと、この愛でいっぱいの心臓を永久に管理してください！』って…っ！心臓の管理委託？！バカ！心拍数が跳ね上がるようなこと言うんじゃないの！…でも、あんたの愛のセキュリティ担当は私だけだから、一生私の独占監修を受けなさい！』. On the other hand, 取り計らう (とりはからう (torihakarau)) maps to "to manage, to arrange, to deal with, to take care of" (Syllabus Level: N2) and represents Means to handle a situation or arrange matters appropriately, often on behalf of someone else or with careful consideration of the circumstances. Implies a sense of responsibility and discretion.. A literal translation of "manage" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
