Persona 3 18

That joke at the end is totally not funny . . . - -"

PLEASE DON'T END SO SOON~~!! T^T

I mean, I love P4, but don't rush through P3 just because of P4! T^T

And now, I got my mind set that I'll seriously find P4 manga and translate it. If I can find the RAW, will Red Hawk will to take on it for scanlation as well? :3

Well . . . I was just fumbling through a lot of stuff, asking people if they can scan the RAW as well since I'm running low in budget already with Dengeki Maoh and Rival (and I won't buy a magazine just for one manga . . . >.>"). I mean, I really want to translate it, no matter what. I got really addicted to P4 lately. >_<"

Anyway, back to P3, this chapter is the one of the most if not the most hilarious scene in the game: THE HOT SPRING~! XD The manga did a lot better with the joke though~! XD

ENJOY~!

PS. I translate the announcement page for P4 as well. It is semi-hilarious, but yeah, in case you want to know about the news. :p

Persona 3
#18 “Perspective 03.5: Thereby, Farewell to Everyone”
Pg. 1

Pg. 2
Yukari – Wow!!
The open-air bath here is really big!!

わ　ホント…流れるプールみたい
Fuuka – Wow, true . . . it seems just like a wave pool
Yukari – S-So cold!!

Let’s get in!
Fuuka – Agreed!!

Pg. 3
至福のひととき
-- The blissful moment --

Aegis – Let’s have fun!!
-- Had ended --

So this is
What “open bath” is?

Ummm
But it doesn’t give me any effect

Pg. 4
What they usually said

Is “what a nice water” right?!!
風情もへったくれもない…
Yukari – She’s completely ignorant of the atmosphere here . . .

Aegis – Steam and murder!!
Fuuka – Where did you get that from, Aegis!!

Junpei – You see them . . . ? Ryouji
Ryouji - Just a little bit more . . . the steam is . . .

Pg. 5
Akihiko – Idiot, it’s good enough just confirming that they’re there already!!
Ryouji – Ah, sorry

Akihiko – Geez
Just why does it have to turn out like this . . .

-- 30 minutes ago --

Sign – Playroom
Junpei – They’re right here
Ryouji – Alright

Junpei – Senpai, Arisato, wanna go for a bath?
Ryouji – . . . Look

Pg. 6

Pg. 7
-- 20 minutes after that --

よっぼど温泉好きなんだね
You seems to like the hot spring a lot

By the way
Did you know? This open-air bath will switch from boys-only or girls-only on the certain time too
Junpei – Wow! Really?

Then that will mean it can change while we’re still bathing then, but even if that happens, we can call it an accident then

Ryouji – Yep, that’s right

Akihiko – . . . So, when is that interchanging time then?
Junpei – Well . . .
We haven’t go check that yet . . . right, Ryouji-kun?
Ryouji – Yep . . . might as well be sometimes soon too, right, Junpei-kun?
Akihiko - . . . Are you guys stupid? So that’s why we come in the weird time like this
Junpei – Hahaha, just kidding. It indeed will be soon, but it’s already late at night. I don’t think there’ll be any girl coming in the time like- . . .

Pg. 8
Yukari – Wow!! The open-air bath here is really big!!
わ　ホント…流れるプールみたい
Fuuka – Wow, true . . . it seems just like a wave pool

Akihiko – Let’s first get out of here without getting all caught
Ryouji – It seems better to got out and say sorry

We didn’t mean it too and they might as well . . .

Yukari – But you can go ahead and take your time
Fuuka – Do you want us to help wash your back?
Akihiko – You two seriously are idiots

Pg. 9
Minato – BUHA!!!

Mitsuru – What’s wrong, Yukari?

Minato – I almost died . . .

Akihiko – Oh God . . .
This is getting to the worst of the worst now . . .

Pg. 10
Mitsuru is here!!
Mitsuru – Is there something in here?

Junpei – Well . . . if we got caught, we are not going to get expelled right? But again, it’s boys-only when we got in, so we can think of it as half a joke . . .

Akihiko – You think that excuse will work?. . . if she finds us

Junpei + Ryouji – If she finds us?

Akihiko – We’ll get “executed”

Pg. 11
Yukari – I heard that from somewhere there

Junpei – Guess we’re forced into encountering them now
Akihiko – Wha . . . hey!!

Yukari – There really is something there!
Fuuka – Yes

Akihiko – Let’s run for it!!

Junpei!?
There’s no time to stop st- . . .

Pg. 12
JUNPEI!!

Mitsuru – A~KI~HI~KO~

Akihiko – It-It’s just a misunderstanding!!

This is just an accident!!

Pg. 13
Mitsuru – SILENCE!!
Akihiko – GYA

Ryouji – Seems like she’s not in the mood of hearing us out
Minato – Steam . . . and murder . . .

Ryouji – Let me handle this!!
Minato – Wah!!

Mitsuru – Where are you? COME ON OUT!!
I’ll execute all of you!!

Ryouji – Ladies and gentlemen!!

Pg. 14
Here is the Steamed Silhouette Quiz!!

Which one is the real Arisato-kun??
Minato - Ah

Pg. 15
Aegis – It’s nice knowing you

Thank you for supporting up till now!!
P3 The End
== Nope, this is not the end. Don’t worry . . . - -“

Pg. 16
A IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Very, very important news

Sogabe-sensei – This might be sudden, but greetings to all. I’m Sogabe. Saying to you with the same tension
As in the end of the tankoubon.

P4 - Greetings

Y-Y-You are!!

Mr. P4 Logo!!

So solemn . . .

Pg. 17
P4 – I’ve heard that you’re going to make P4 into a comic in Black Maoh even while P3 is still on the run. Is it true?
Sogabe-sensei – I am

P4 - Also that you’re going to even put P4 color illustrations in Maoh as well . . .
Sogebe – It’s the truth

P4 – But don't you have other works to do as well? . . . Can you really do all that?
Sogabe – I’ll try

As said

I’ll be covering the serialization of Persona series in two magazines. I do have some other choice, such as quickly ending “P3”, but to quit “P3” all of the sudden because “P4” kicks in is pretty unthinkable. Therefore, I will continue on with my initial plan. (of course, it’ll be up to all the readers though!) Both “P3” and “P4” are very fun games as well, so I planned to draw the manga so that both the fans can enjoy it with me as well as committing the very little I have for the games. P3 will reach the turning point in a moment. Please be with me to the very end as well.
