Yaoyoro! 3

Single slash denotes connected bubbles, double slash denotes completely new bubbles. Equal signs ( =Like this= ) denote thoughts outside of word bubbles. Double arrows ( <<Like this>> ) denote thoughts inside thought bubbles. Squiggly lines (~Like this~) denote words or SFX outside of word bubbles, usually above a character's head or something. Let me know if there are any mistakes.

Open to anyone for scanlation purposes as long as proper credit is given.

NOTE:
In the previous chapters I translated “gijinka” (sorry, this computer won’t type Japanese) as “personification”. After bumming around some more, and inspired by having to research “moe”, I’ve changed the translation to “anthropomorphism” from here on out. Sorry for any inconvenience. I probably won’t change the first two chapters…I’m just a lazy guy.

C Dog:
“Anthropomorphism” makes me think of classic works, but it looks like it’s gained popularity recently

Police:
‘Kay, let’s go.

Punk:
Eh / What? // Hey / is this a joke? // I can easily run awa…

Hancuf-chan:
Awww / Please don’t struggle // I’m begging you

Hiya-chan:
Now that you mention it, some manga with countries as people is a big hit lately. (TN: I’m sorry, have no idea what she is talking about.)

Punk:
Ah….uh…. // …o-okay


:::PAGE 3:::
Police:
Okay, we’re here. // Good work, Handcuff-chan.

Handcuff-chan:

Punk:
Haha… // B…bye… // =Ah…= // =I can escape…=

C Dog:
The genre was established in the 80’s. Due to the prevalence of the internet, it spread explosively with the help of so called “moe”.

Hiya-chan:
Ah, there’s an antropomorphic character I like. Uh, they have horns growing on their head like a deer…

C Dog:
Please take you Nara propaganda elsewhere.

(TN: I am too lazy to talk about moe. Read this wikipedia article if you want to know about it.)

(TN: Nara is a prefecture of Japan next to Osaka. There is a park in the prefecture, Nara Park, that is famous for the deer that live there.)
