Persona 4 6

Take your time, Scarlet. I didn't have the latest P3 raw as well...:3



Persona 4
#06 "Buddy"
Pg. 1
Yousuke - ...This guy
just looks so cool.

...I really want to
be like him.

...Can I really be like that?
Shadow - Dammit.
What the hell are you?
Acting all cool like that! You're such an eyesore!!

Yousuke - I...

I wanted...

Pg. 2
I wanted...to be able to speak to you more, senpai.

I wanted to know more about you,

but guess I was too late. If I can...I really wanted to save you,
even though I might end up annoying you by saying that.

...Why does it have to be you?

Why do you...have to...die...?

This is so...irritating and sad.

Pg. 3
Dammit, I want,
I want to be stronger...

Haha...What's this?
...Oh right.

Pg. 4
This is what this world is like.

Maybe, this is what it always is like, no matter where I am.

It's not just what I wanted to be, but what I can be.

What? This is just

Pg. 5
up to my heart, isn't it?

Pg. 6
I remembered now; the time I met you for the first time...

Back then, I was looking down at how rural this place is.
...Maybe I still am like that.

It was that time that you came up to me,

Pg. 7
and told me that my dad is just my dad and I am who I am...

I don't know whether you were sincere about that or not...
but even if you weren't, those words really pleased me.

Your words made me think for the first time that this town might not be as bad as it seems.

Senpai,

Pg. 8-9
thank you.

Pg. 10
Kuma - Yousuke...

Yousuke - ...Haha...now you see my dark side, huh?

Kuma - That was originally inside you, Yousuke-kuma.
It might start rampaging again if you don't accept it-kuma...

Yousuke - I know.

Pg. 11
This is really bad...having to face myself like that.
I already knew it...but it's just so disgusting that I
didn't want to accept it...

But...all of that is still me, isn't it?

Before that...

Let me give you one punch.

Pg. 12
Since that really hurts, alright?
I took all the pains after all. Just isn't at all fair.

Souji - That Shadow actually landed quite a lot of hits on me though.

No.
Yousuke - What?

Souji - If you want to do it, then let it be a squared one.

Yousuke - ...Heh.

Gosh, I
really like this guy.

Pg. 13
I want to be on the same ground as him, to be on par with him,
to be accepted by him.

That's why
Alright!
Got it. Come with all you have then!!

Souji - Certainly.

Yousuke - Here I come!!

Pg. 14
なんか青春みてーだな
Guess that's what youth is for you.

Pg. 15
We both end up lying sprawled out.
The sky isn't at all blue though.

Hey...let's find out who this "culprit" really is.
Someone might end up dying again if we don't do anything about this.

Maybe we can even save the person who is thrown into this place,
even though this world might be the real cause behind the death of the victim itself.

I can't forgive the guy who uses this world as his "weapon"...
Seeing the town I live in like this really makes me feel snapped more than frightened.
Even thought we probably can say that just because we came here from outside.

Pg. 16
"Murdering through putting people into the TV", no way the police can solve that by themselves.
So...aren't we left with only one choice? I'm not half-joking here, alright?

I...want to take revenge for senpai too.

Plus, we already promised Kuma.

Kuma - You'll keep your promise-kuma!?

Yousuke - What're you saying?
You want to return this world to normal, didn't you?

Pg. 17
If we don't, you won't let us out of this place. Didn't you say that yourself?

Kuma - Ye-...Yeah, Kuma did-kuma!
Kuma thought you forget all about Kuma already-kuma.

Yousuke - This is just the beginning...right? Do treat us well then.

...To be honest,
I might act cool and all, but I can become anxious at things as well.

Pg. 18
I got the feeling that if I stick with you, we'll find the culprit and get this mystery solved for sure.

Alright!
I'm depending on you now, buddy!!

Kuma - Muh

Pg. 19
Kuma really feels like an outlier.
Yousuke - Hey.
Cheer up. Don't cry.
Kuma - Kuma isn't crying-kuma. No tears are coming out either-kuma.

Chie - You...
YOU ARE BARCK...!!
Yousuke - Oh, Satonaka? Whoa, what's with that wet face?
...Say, you didn't tell anyone about this, right?

BUH!

Pg. 20
Chie - YOU CAN STILL ASK ME WHAT'S WITH MY FACE!? YOU IDIOTS! YOU'RE
JUST THE WORST!!
I can't believe it! You both are just plain horrible!!

The rope snapped just like that...
I didn't know what to do at all...

I was...
so worried about you...

Yousuke - ...Satonaka.

Chie - I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU!
GAH, THIS IS PISSING ME OFF!!

Pg. 21
Let me just give you one big punch.
Yousuke - Wha...Hey.
Don't...
I totally forgot that I have you do that.
Well...
Not like I totally forgot about it though.

Chie - ...Hanamura,
you seem a bit different? Did something happen?
Yousuke - ...Huh?

Well, just a little.

Pg. 22
Chie - Today really is a tiresome day.
Better get back, take a bath and go to bed.

Yousuke - I got the feeling...I'll be having a good sleep today.

Chie - ...Good.

Yousuke - Hehe...well, see you tomorrow,

Pg. 23
at school then!
** Persona 4 will take a break in the next issue for the continuation of "Persona 3" in Dengeki BLACK Maoh vol.8 (on sale on June 22nd)! Please be sure to go follow that as well!! **

== The raw of P3 isn't out...yet. I'm not subscribed to BLACK Maoh, so I can't do anything about that until someone, perhaps Mizutama, scan the raw...in opposed to Dengeki Maoh, which I can still can the raw from it if needed (Dengeki Maoh have lots of good manga after all. TotA, P4, ToD:DC, Hi no Kagutsuchi, Ragnarok, Shining Force: Feather, Sacred Blaze, World Destruction, Star Ocean 2...and another Basara manga about to come this month. Totally a best magazine around for me...:3 )
