Heya everybody~! It's been a long time!! But I was busy with exams and Weekly Shounen JUMP had been a bitch on me this year, so there was no title I felt like "Woah, I so gonna have to translate it!!". Well, that's true until there came the announcement that Oumagadoki Doubutsuen would get turned into a series. Since I already translated the one shot back in Decembre 2009 I just HAD to go for it.
The first chapter was real fun. The language used in the series is not very difficult compared to some other titles, which is nice. But they changed Shiina's speaking manner a bit and gave him some
Iyo-ben (I guess), that's spoken in Ehime (prefecture in the South, on Shikoku). But even that didn't seem to hard. Since I don't know English/American accents very well, I didn't try to adapt his speaking manner by some sort and just gave him the same tone as in the OS.
Generally, this translation is free for use as long as you follow 3-4 simple rules:
- Put my name in the credits! (basic stuff)
- Don't edit my translation without talking to me about it! (same here)
- Put the important translator notes (TN) in your release! I don't do them for funsies most of the time. (The "unimportant" ones are those for the scanlators, like concretizing which line/font/bubble I mean)
- Wait till I get someone to double check the tricky parts [=those with the Japanese script] (I'll strike this line through once it's done :))
With that being said, I hope you all enjoy Horikoshi-sensei's series!!
Page 0 - WSJ CoverTN: I didn't translate the cover part since I figured hardly any SL team edits them. If you wanna do it as well, holla at me!Page 1逢魔ヶ刻――夕暮れ時。暗くなり、人やモノの判別がしにくくなる時間帯。“魔に逢う“とされる時間。<同>黄昏れ時。
“Oumagadoki” – The time of twilight. A period of time when it gets hard to distinguish men from “things”. The time when people are said to encounter demons and evil spirits. <Also referred to as> The time of gloaming.
The second strike of the new series!!
“Oumagadoki Doubutsuen” [TN: That’s “Oumagadoki Zoo” for you. As you can see in the opening panel the name of this animal park is a homonym to the Japanese equivalent of the “witching hour”.]

Hana: This is paradise!!
Hana (in panel): An animal keeper at the zoo! Encountering a bunch of cute animals, // just the sort of life I’ve been yearning for!!

Hana: Y-yeah… // You know how I love animals, right, and three days ago I noticed a job advertisement… // And so I thought about mustering every least bit of courage I have and… [TN: For scanlators: Please notice how the letters get smaller at the end of the sentence! This shows how insecure she is when she’s telling them her idea!]
Book: Illustrated Animal EncyclopediaGirl 2: No, no, no!! Just impossible!! NEVER!!!
Girl 1: But y’know / to think we have a zoo in Oumagadoki city~~~~ // (in picture, small): Didn’t know that

Girl 1: You’re a clumsy good-for-nothing!
やめときな
Girl 2: That’s right! // Give it up!!
Hana: …hmph!!
Hana (in panel): I’ll change myself!!
Hana: I will get to play with cute bunnies or something like that!
Page 7Shiina: Ohh~ it went in!
Page 8Shiina: That’s intest-… // Hm? // A visitor!? / You’re a visitor?
Hana: Huh!!?
Shiina (in panel): So she saw it……
Hana: Waaa~~h!!?
Page 9Sign: If you’re lost, don’t come here, kids!!久々の客かと思ったが まあいいや
Shiina: Ah, / yes, / I see, about the part-time job / You saw the advertisement? / I see // I thought, you’d be the first visitor in ages / but this is fine as well // I’m zoo director Shiina! // Aoi Hana // YOU’RE HIRED!!
Page 10Hana: I passed---!! Huh!! What!? May I ask a quest—
Shiina: REFUSED!
Hana (thought): What!!?
Hana (thoughts, in panel): That’s the director!? Why’s he wearing a rabbit mask!? And why’d he put that giraffe in that elephant’s throat!? And why did he hire me after ripping my curriculum apart!? // What sorta guy IS he!!?
志望動機の一つ「動物が大好き」 何があろうとこれに嘘偽りはないな?
Shiina: There must be a great amount of things you want to ask / But I also got a question! // You didn’t lie when you wrote that your only motif for applying for the job // was because you love animals, did you?
Page 11Hana (thoughts, in picture): He’s scary!!! What’s up with that guy!!?
Hana: N-… no!! That- was the truth… but… // I… um… usually, I’m really clumsy… // So… um… I wanted to change… at this place…
Shiina: If you say so, then that’s fine! // As long as you love them that’s enough.
Hana: Huh?
Shiina: It’s my principle // that I only do the fun stuff around here!
Page 12Shiina: That’s why I leave the whole caring for animals in your hands! // Work for my sake!!
この人何なの頭おかしいよ(内外共に)ダメだっ私… こんな人とやれそうにない!!
Hana (thinking): He’s really egotistic!!!
Hana (in panel): That person’s got a really strange head (and I mean both, on the inside and the outside)! It’s impossible… // I don’t think I can keep up with that and work with him!!
Hana: Um… // W- would you please… w- withdraw your job offer. // I’m afraid I can’t after all.
Shiina: Hu~h? // Withdrawing it~? // That girl’s…
Hana: Excuse me please, sorry for all the…
Page 13Shiina: too late!
Page 14Shiina: The zoo closes at 4:44 // This park, it was me who set it up and I did it for my sake // Everything goes / according to my will
[TN: Please notice the following: the name of the city is written 逢摩ヶ刻, pay attention to the second kanji. The name of the Oumagadoki Zoo is normally written that way, too, but at 4:44 the sign changes into:逢魔ヶ刻. As you can see, the second character is different. It’s the character for “demon” / ”evil spirit”!]

Shiina: Well then, / beasts // this is Aoi Hana and starting today // she’ll be your keeper!!
Hana: Hmp!!!
Ostrich: Nice to meet you~
Hana: Hyaaa!!!
Hana (in picture): This is scary!! I’m scared!! This is NOT cute at all!! // That’s a bunch of monsters!! I have to run!!
Shiina: We won’t let you get away…
Page 19Shiina: that easily!
Hana: Hmphhh!!
Shiina: ‘Cause you’re the first applicant for this job in a long time, y’know~
Hana: What!?
今までも希望者が来たがどれも半端者っ コレに耐え切れず頭がヘンになって逃げ出すわけじゃ
Shiina: I mean, there were other applicants before but each and everyone of them was a jackass // They couldn’t put up with all this, went nuts and ran away,
Hana: Waaahhhhh!!! // I can’t put up with it either!!
Shiina: That just now was interesting~!
Hana: What’s this all about!? Those monsters!? / I wanted to work in a normal zoo…
Shiina: Monsters? // Nah, nah. You’re wrong.
Page 20Shiina: I’m human / Those guys are animals / Though // I bear certain “powers” in me // That’s all there is to it.
Hana: ? P-… powers?
Hana (in picture): That throne… when did he…
Shiina: It’s a mysterous power that enables them to talk and to freely change their appearances into that of humans // and stuff like that...
Hana: W-wait a minute, then that means… huh!? What!? // Powers!? / What is this!? Some strange fantasy!?
Page 21ちょい黙って聞くがいい
Shiina: Just shut up for a moment and listen // GO!!
Gorira: Monkeystood [TN: Me horribly trying to transport a play on words. The gorilla answered “gorissu” instead of “chorissu”. ‘gori’ of course resembles ‘gorilla’]
Shiina (in picture): I will never forget that incident… it was 15 years ago… no, was it 13…? // It happened at some point around then!
Bubble to the left: It’s a vague recollection!
その日ワシはたまたま見つけた野ウサギを 追いかけ回してたんじゃ
Flashback: That day, I had fun chasing a wild rabbit I happened to notice by chance
ろくでもない
Bubble: Ever since I was a child I was doing nonsense…
Flashbask: That time
Shiina: A rabbit ghost appeared // I was cursed and turned into this stupid shape of mine…
Page 22Hana: What!? Then, that means that face of yours is your real one…!? Then again, you reap what you sow
Shiina: Trample her down!!
Gorilla: Monkeystood!
面白くない奴じゃ
Shiina: Tedious drag! // Continue listening!
Hana (in picture): Gyaaahhh
その呪いは報い 解きたくば 動物… 生命への愛を示せ
Flashback: The curse is a punishment // If you wish to solve it… show your every love you have to animals!
世界に轟く園(その)を造れ
In picture: If you want to prove it // gather scores of animals // by the use of these powers!! // Create a place for them, that’s well-known throughout this world! // Till there’s not a single person left to know its name!
Page 23Shiina: I’ve visited several places all around the world // and assembled these guys! // Do you understand? In order for me to return to my former human self // we have to turn this Oumagadoki Zoo // into the best friggin park there is in this world!!
Page 24Hana: …kch!!?
Shiina: Of course I want to become human again // But, / do you remember what I said earlier? / It’s my principle to only do the fun stuff around here! // And for that reason
Hana (thinking): Calm down!!
自分の事は自分でさせる為動き喋れるようにしてやった 獣共と
Shiina: I changed them to move around and speak freely, so they can take care of their crap themselves / And as the keeper // it’s your job to make this place // together with their help // into the world’s greatest!
Umawabi: Because animal keeping is no fun, right…
Page 25Hana (in panel): Huuuuh!!? // That’s just insolent~~!!!
説明会の後は 研修ってのが世間の常識じゃ
Shiina: After the meet and greet to explain the whole situation / comes the in-service training. But that’s common knowledge society teaches you
Hana: It totally isn’t!
Hana (in panel): The animals transformed and can talk!? That’s already frightening, / but that guy tops it all!!
はてさて おまえはどこまでやれるかな
Shiina: Well, well, let’s see how useful a person you are~
Hana: I’m sorry, but untie me please! / It’s… it’s impossible for me. Please let me go home!!
Hana (in panel): That person is just too arbitrary!! I cannot work with him!!
Shiina: REFUSED!
Hana: Uwaaaahhhh // Ouch!
Page 26Shiina: HEY!!!
Hana (in panel): Waaahhhh
しとんじゃ
Shiina: What do you think you’re doing to my collection!?
Hana: Huh!?
Shiina: All these things here in the park are my precious treasures. / In order to become the world’s greatest zoo you gotta be flashy and fun!
根本的にズレてる!!
Hana: Those are totally different things!!

Shiina: In-service training no. 1 / The spotted seal Igarashi. / Igarashi, starting today this’ll be your keeper.
Igarashi: Oh! // I’m usually very gentle // But when it’s comes to arabesque greenling my aggressive side awakes!
Shiina: Alright, do it!
Hana: Do what!?
Page 27Hana (thoughts): I have no idea what he’ll do to me if I don’t obey to him……
Hana (in panel): Calm down now, Hanaaa~!! Get yourself together and think!! // That egotistic bunny only does things he thinks are interesting… // Because animal keeping is boring he made them change their form and lets them do as they please…
最低だ! じゃなくて
Hana (thoughts): Hrm, he’s the worst! / Isn’t he…!?
Hana (in panel): In other words, that seal just in front of me // is a very normal animal by nature!!
<sfx in right panel: biii~ng!>Hana (thoughts): It’s my first time to see a seal from this close…
まず言っておきますがホッケもとい魚を与えて下さる際には
Igarashi: Excuse me, lady // Let me tell you this first, when you’re feeding me a fish like arabesque greenling, make sure the side on the front is...
Page 28Hana: The head… right? // Because if you don’t do it, the gills and the scales can get caught stuck in the throat…
Igarashi: How come you know about my table manners!?
<bravo~!!>Hana: I only know that because I’m always gazing at my illustrated encyclopaedia… // …here I go!! // Bohh!!
Shiina: What’cha doing!?
Hana: Imvewyfowwy…
Shina: Hrm!
Hana: Gyah!!
Shiina: Off to the next station! To the next!!

Shiina: In-service training no. 3 / The American bison, Umemura! // He’s a real scoundrel! He’s always writing his prayers and wishes on this super interesting sarcophagus I put up here.
Hana: American bisons are really timid, and this item is just scary… // Bwaahh!!!

Page 41Shiina: Rapid Rabbit // Flying Kick!!! [TN: There's a neat meaning implied in the attack that got lost in the translation to a certain point. Shiina's attack 脱兎のごとく (datto no gotoku) means literally "like a fleeing rabbit" but is a metaphor for "as fast as one can", "high speed" etc.]

Hana: Haha…
Boss: Boring!? What the fuck, you bastard! Don’t try to fuck with me!!
