Bokke-san 1

Bokke-san Chapter 1

Huge thanks to Momodaisuki for the corrections.

Sorry for the late release. It wouldn have been much earlier except I had about 3
pages left and if I left any later I would have been late to work and get scolded.

Here is the first chapter of Bokke-san. I'll be translating this for the next few
chapters until January at least. Please enjoy Nishi Yoshiyuki-sensei's new series.

To scanlators, a / marks a merged bubble. Anyone is free to use this translation.

-A murder!?
-I still don't understand.

Page 26

-The time of death was most likely at 11.45.
-Death was due to being severed in half and blood loss. (TN-I think it more to do with being severed in half than the blood loss but it said blood loss in the japanese so...)

-What the hell...!! How was this done.
-It seems like she was torn.

-In
-Inspector Yano, please excuse us for being late.
-Bowling?
-...!!...no...um...yes.

-That's all there is, the other evidence has been erased.
-Nothing else.
-What...are you saying...?

Page 28

-Could it be...!!
-No / we are confused as well.
-There are only the scars on the victims.
-One of the criminal's fingerprints. Some dust.
-No evidence of a struggle.
-N..no, no, impossible!! There should definitely be something revealed!!
-The method used to kill doesn't seem to obey the laws of physics. / What kind of weapon could they have used to do this...
-A person...
-A human...
-It looks like they've been wrung out like a wet rag...thats... / just not possible.
-What if it wasn't a human?

Page 29

-What is this person talking about...
-Ah... / a bear...you mean?
-An artful kill / just like...the work of the gods.
-Wa...!! What are you saying Yano-san!?
-It was the work of a "Bokke".
-...Bokke

Page 30

-Deep in the forest that covers Matsuroba Town
-Until the Edo period there lived member's of the god's family / "Bokke".
-One theory is that the many ninjutsu of ninja,
-probably come from the Bokke of folklore.
-Hee...Kani-san, why do you know that
-Daibutsu...you should love your town more.
-(handwritten)Daibutsu-san
-(handwritten)Kani-san
