Phantom Thief

[Someone once said / there are only two roads you can walk down in life]

[A crow dances in the night..]

[Will you exist without ever calling upon any miracles at all]
[or will you exist as if every moment was a miracle]

Page 2-3
Magazine Notes : The new large-scale serialization from the author of Ga-Rei starts now!!!!

[Until I met him / I never believed in things like miracles]

[no matter how strange my dreams are]
Rinka : A dream..?

[The city of Tokyo begins yet another peaceful day]

Rinka : ...I fell asleep in my uniform.
[The same goes for me, living in that city...]

Page 5
[A little bit poor...]

Rinka : Hm?

[Just your average high school student, or so I thought.]

There's something wrong with the house!!

Page 10
Azuma : Need a hand..?
Rinka : Arghhhhh

Rinka : Wha / Who are you?!

Azuma : Calm down.
You'll fall through again.

Azuma : You don't remember? / Yesterday
Rinka : Huh?!

[Yesterday?! Thick back]
[Think of yesterday...]

Page 11
[Now that I think about it there was something..]
Students : See ya
Bye bye

Girls : Rinka, you bike all the way home? Don't you live far?

Rinka : Yeah
The pass.. is expensive.

Girls : Heh / Are you kidding?! You mean that rumor about you being poor was true?!
Her lunches are pretty pathetic looking too.
So that's what you were hiding, and you're so cute too! / Can we come over and check out your house?!

Page 12
Rinka : DONT MAKE FUN OF ME
[What's so wrong with saving money!!]

[With a Dad who can't keep a steady job]
(alcohol~)
(get to work~)
Rinka : [I could even walk if it came down to it]
[Isn't it good enough that I can go to school at all?!]

Rinka : [What a huge bird...]
[That'd be so nice... / having chicken every once in awhile..]

Rinka : Huh..

Page 13
[A penguin.]
[A flying penguin.]

Rinka : [No way / No one else sees it?!]

Rinka : What / are those...
Shining things

Page 15
Azuma : MIRACLE!!
Rinka : Ahhh!!

Rinka : Wha..
[Who..]

[is this guy..]
Azuma : Magnificent! / This is surely a modern miracle!

Page 16
Azuma : So you can see them too.
Urushiba Rinka.

[Same uniform as my school..?]

Rinka : How / How do you know my name...
Azuma : Because you're a pretty girl.
Rinka : Hah?!

Azuma : I was chasing after them as well.

Page 17
Azuma : The penguin who chases flying in the sky...

Azuma : That one.

[That's only one of the things I don't understand]

[Is this guy from the same school as me?]

[Not to mention his face is a mess]

Page 18
Azuma : After the shining fish, that is.

[Oh yeah]

[Those shining fish at that time]

Page 19
[all of a sudden]

Page 20
[went inside of me...]

Page 21
Azuma : And then... you passed out
So I looked at your student ID
And carried you back home

Azuma : You understand now?

Rinka : UNDERSTAND WHAT!
Don't look
And why / am I sinking into the floor!!

Page 22
Azuma : There's nothing wrong with the floor.
You're the one who's slipping through things.

Azuma : It's probably because you came in contact with those fish..
and now your genetic make-up has undergone changes, don't you think?

Azuma : If that's not it then.. / these kind of unrealistic things... / can't be explain-..

Page 23
Rinka : Huh? / I was holding it.

Azuma : If you... / focus on the fact that it exists...
Rinka : Are you sure this is okay...?

[I mean..]
[am I even human?]

Page 24
TV : Two days ago in the Ginza area
There was a mysterious phantom thief incident at a jewelery store...

Man : Haven't you had enough, Kan-chan
You live just down the road, don't fall asleep here.
TV : According to reports, the suspect seems to have disappeared like a cloud of smoke..

Man : Also, your phone was just ringing...
Kan : Ugh..
Sorry..

Kan : Last night.. I saw this strange hallucination / and I just kinda..
Man : Hallucination?

Page 25
Kan : These shining fish
attacked me from the sky
Phone : You have ONE message.

Phone : Dad. Come home quick. / There's something wrong with the house!!

Kan : Whaa!

Kan : RINKA!!
Man : What's the matter?!

Page 26
Man : Wha-
A tornado?!

Page 27
Rinka : I think I got everything..
I've got all my clothes on.

Rinka : Ack!

Rinka : [Don't rush..]
[Concentrate, concentrate..]

Rinka : There!

Azuma : Oh? You aren't possibly thinking of going to school
Rinka : No / The hospital!

Page 28
Rinka : Some kind of things-pass-right-through-you disease / well I've never heard of it, but..

Rinka : At this rate I won't be able to make it to work.
And that means I won't be able to pay my rent either.

Azuma : Disease? / Why not be a little more positive about it / like "ESP" or something?
Rinka : What?! / Stop hitching a ride on the back!!

Phone : Ring Ring

Phone : Hello, Rinka?! Where are you right now
Rinka : Dad!

Page 29
Rinka : I'm not too far from home..

Phone : I'm heading over that way too...

Man : Uwahhh

Phone : For some reason..

Page 30
Phone : Cars are..

Phone : Flying towards me

Kan : I cant..
move...

Page 31
Kan : I will..
definetly save you
Wait for me..

Kan : RINKAAAA

Rinka : Da...

Rinka : Dad?!

Page 32
TV : We've received a sudden report from Kagurazaka, Shinjuku. / Due to a magnetic field..
The area continues to be under much chaos.

Page 33
TV : Even the police and fire fighters that rushed to the scene / can't do anything against this mysterious phenomenon...
Police : Stand back
This road is closed.

TV : They can't get the situation under control at all!

People : Run away!
Ahh
It's starting to move
[Now..]
[what is it?!]

Azuma : I've been thinking about it this whole time

Azuma : If we say that those fish were the cause of all of this

Page 34
Azuma : Maybe there are more of us
people whose "ESP" suddenly activated...

[it cant be...]

[They got Dad too?]

Azuma : He doesn't seem to be the same type as you / but that's the only explanation I can come up with..

Page 35
Azuma : for this miracle.

Page 36
[It can't be]

[What ”ESP”]
[it's just getting bigger and bigger]

People : Ahhh

Page 37
Azuma : I wouldn't say magnetic really / he's just pulling in anything he can get his hands on...
Maybe psychokinesis..

Rinka : Do you really think now is the time for that?

Rinka : Why is it coming this way

Page 38
Azuma : Wouldn't that be because it's your Dad?

[Huh?!]

Rinka : Dad. Come home quick.
There's something wrong with the house!!

[You don't mean / because I called him for help]

Kan : I will come and save you
Wait for me. RINKAAAA

[He's looking for me?!]

Page 39
[His emotions...]
[unconsciously overlapped with his ESP]

[It's running wild?!]

Kan : Rinka~

Rinka : Dad, Get a hold of yourself!!

Page 40
Rinka : I'm right here!
Everything is okay!!!

Kan : Rinka~

[He can't hear meee]

Azuma : He won't hear you through all that...

Azuma : For a beautiful lady such as yourself / I would love to give you a hand, however...
(hmm)

Page 41
Azuma : All we can do for now is wait..
Until your Father runs out of energy..

Azuma : It was the same while you were sleeping
your ESP didn't activate, right?

Azuma : If the person at the center loses "consciousness"..
I'm sure it'll fall apart on it's own..

Page 42
Rinka : Wha- / Are you telling me to just wait until then?

Rinka : My Dad is a former police officer.
He's got ridiculous amounts of energy!

[But the main thing is, if they do capture him]
[he'll be held responsible for this huge disaster..]

[how else could they see it?!]
Newspapwer : [The cause of the mysterious phenomenon?!]
[Large sum of Reparations]

Azuma : We should get out of here for now.
You shouldn't let your guard down either, or that will happen.
Rinka : Aghh

Page 43
[What should I do..]
[Run away.. / but then what?!]

Rinka : Hey
When is Mommy
Coming back from overseas?

Page 44
Kan : I don't know.
But until she does
I'll risk my life if I have to / to keep you safe, Rinka.

Kan : Do you lonely?

Rinka : I'm okay.

Page 45
Rinka : Because I have you, Dad.

Page 46
Rinka : It was always..
just the two of us.

Rinka : He's stubborn.. and clumsy person, but

Rinka : My dad is the one person...
that I just can't abandon.

Page 47
Rinka : Maybe I
can slip through to the middle

Azuma : If we're going to run...
We should go before it gets any bigger..

Rinka : I'm leaving with him.

Page 48
People : Ah!
Over there!

People : A girl?!
It's a high school girl!!

[No matter how miserable your life becomes]
[never let your heart become miserable as well]

[That honest heart and kick of yours / will one day save someone's life]

Page 49
Azuma : If you mess up / it's not gonna be very pretty...

People : Watch out
Run away!
[I have to do it]

Rinka : I also
have my sparkling kick that Dad taught me.

Page 50
[Even if / I become totally nude..]

[Even if I have to live life on the run..]

[of all the people ]
[who can save him,]

Page 51
[I'm the only one]

[SKULL SMASHING KICK!!!]
Rinka : Sorry

Page 52

Page 53
TV : This is...
People : AHHH
TV : Now the ball has started to crumble!

Page 54
Azuma : MIRACLE!!

Rinka : Huh..
Azuma : Amazing / I couldn't have done anything on my own.

People : RUN

Page 55
Azuma : OH / I jumped with people!

Page 56
Rinka : Wha..
This is...

Rinka : Ikebukuro..?

Azuma : It's called Teleportation.
I'm still getting the hang of it though.

Rinka : Wh-
Who are you..

Page 57
Azuma : Azuma Kyoutarou.
Most likely / an ESP user.

Magazine Notes : Fish and a penguin that swim in the sky, and just who is this guy?!
