Doll's Folklore 1

Friends don't let friends translate 70 pages in one evening. Since I don't have friends however, I guess that doesn't apply to me. Yup.



So this thing. Well, I found raws online and it looks like Traumiester and Boku to majo no jikan successfully did the fusion dance to kick freeza's ass, and I guess now that I've translated something from all three major publishers (Shuiesha, Shogakukan and now Kodansha.) I get some sorta award? Right? Right? Later. Okay, I'll pick it up when it's ready. In ay case as it says above, translations are free for people who aren't too lazy to quality check this. I'll even include raws this time for you all~ Here. Though the raws are shitty. I mean they're terrible. Like as terrible as at the tender age of nine, walking in on your parents creating yet another sibling one night. That kind of terrible. No, I don't have better raws, and no I will not get better ones. So you all are on your own. Toodles~

Aaaaand requests are open again~ Read here for details.

DOLLS FOLKLORE

KARASUMA TASUKU

(Back flap- 10 years ago a serial children disappearing incident occurred leaving Oyamada Yousuke as the sole survivor. After this, malignant ghosts known as dolls would appear before Yousuke on a daily basis, that is until a super sadistic hottie named Misaki Kanno appeared. The two of them meet the ultimate evil doll known as Makina and from there the curtain rises on a super over drive demon action series!!)

KARASUMA TASUKU

It's my dream that when they're bigger I can give my nephews and nieces this manga to read. So in that regard, the first thing to do is to work hard to ensure that my sister in law doesn't put it on a list of harmful books.

002

Chapter one: Bad luck.....3

Chapter two: In demand....73

Chapter three: Flowers of the dead....125

Chapter four: An ugly appearance....157.

002

{This is a follow up report of the serial children kidnapping case.}

???: You hide there!!

Kid: I don't wanna! I'm scared!

{Since there isn't any sort of declaration from the criminal, the authorities continue to investigate this as both an accident and foul play.}

{Even going as far as asking Educational institutes for assistance.}

Girl: There, now move your hand...!

If you don't hurry he'll....

003

Chapter 1: Bad luck.

004

(Sfx- Gataan clatter)

{I'm Oyamada Yousuke.}

{The only 'witness' to this incident....}

{And...}

Yousuke: Sis...

{The only 'survivor' as well.}

005

{10 years later...}

???: Yousukeeee!!

Having two girls come over for you is a major event!

Why are you bumbling around and hiding huuuh?!

You get out here this instaaaaaaant!!!

(Sfx- Kukuuu *Grnnd*)

Girl: Um, Granny there's no need to stress yourself out...

Girl 2: Why did I come here anyway?

Girl: I'm sorry Ako~

It's just the teacher asked me to bring the printout here...

(Sfx- Gachi gachi gachi clack clack clack)

006

Ako: I have no idea what he even thinks about. To be honest he's even a little creepy...

That Oyamada guy.

Yousuke: …..

I can totally hear you.

Dammit.

(Phone: Today's luck is 'Extremely bad.'// You won't have any luck if you go outside today! For if you do, a disaster from the past will reoccur?)

Skully: Beware of other people's mouths!

Yousuke: Who's fault do you think it is that I can't go outside?

And then this thing had to go too far.

I mean geez. This thing is an eyesore~

007

TV: Next on the news..

Today is the 10th anniversary of the serial children kidnapping incident.

In all about 108 children in total were said to have vanished, their whereabouts unknown.

And that will be all for us today.

{Since that incident 10 years ago...}

???: Is that so? Well I'm sorry.

{I've been able to see 'things' that others can't.}

{Though there are plenty of days where I don't notice the usual.}

Yousuke: But it's not like I can just act like I can't see anything sigh

{Sure if I could see and ignore I guess it wouldn't be as painful..}

{It's just...}

008

Girl: Ako, are you sure you'll be okay?

Ako: I'm fine, just a bit tired.

(Sfx- Para para para shake shake shake)

Ako: Wha?

Girl: Ako?

Ako: I—It stings!

S—Salt?

Yousuke: You can thank me later Yukimochi.

Though you're lucky I came with this salt Grandma gave me.

(Sfx- Kyuuh pfft)

Yousuke: Normally I don't go carrying this stuff around.

009

Girl: Oyamada!

Yousuke: Though it only takes a split second~
So you'd better not let your guard down, got it?

Girl: Don't fool around with us!

Ako's not feeling so good...

Let's go Ako!!

Ako: O—okay.

Yousuke: Hm?

{The problem comes...}

Yousuke: Geez. Is that how they show their gratitude?

{When they notice that I can 'see' them.}

010

???: H...

Heeeey....

Yousuke: I gotta calm down, this is the norm...

Ah!

(Sfx- Zaaaahhh sshhhhh)

Yousuke: Gaaaaaah!!

Dammit...

???: Heheheh....

Kyahahahahah!!

This is just too rich! You're so pathetic!

011

???: Though you know for doing something like that...

It's rude to not even try to apologize, right?

Yousuke: Yu—Yukimochi?!

Ako: That's my name~ Why are you afraid that little ol' me came back for revenge?
Cause you're ever so jumpy~

Or is it that you need to use the potty? Is that it? Do you need to use the bathroom?

You can tell me, I won't tell anyone else...

C'mon~

012

Yousuke: Yukimochi!! You'd better knock it off or...!!

Thing: Are you maaaad?

Are ya? Are ya? Are ya?

013

Yousuke: D--

Thing: I got in...

I got in, I got in, I got in, I got in....

Yousuke: Disappear..

I said disappear!!

I'm beggin' ya! Disappear!!

014

015

Grandma: Ahahah~

TV: Geez~

???: It got away.

Hannya Hara Mittaji Shouken Goun kaikuu~

Doissai kuyaku sharishi

(TN- That's a sutra. To be specific, it's the Heart Sutra, used to pray for the dharma called the 'profound illumination' through the power of the Buddha.)

Girl: Yes...It's Kanno.

Yes...of course.

I've already reached the destination.

016

{Did she just....}

Kanno: It's currently on the move....I've found the V2 class doll.

Probably so that it can take on a substantial form...

Yes. Understood. I shall go find it at once.

My deepest apologies.

{Did she just 'smack' that monster thingy?}

017

{No—No way...}

Yousuke: Dude, is your head broken?!

In what world is crashing into someone's house okay?!

Kanno: Huuuh?

Why not shut the hell up, iiiidot.

(TN- She uses a weird kanji combination for 'Idiot'. '莫迦' instead of '馬鹿' though, it's normally written in hiragana or katakana anyway...)

Kanno: More like, I'm kinda pissed off right now.

Yousuke: Huh?

Kanno: You should be happy I don't just kill you now, brat.

Yousuke: And who the hell do you think you are?!

Kanno: I—am~

018

Kanno: The Misaki organization's anti doll administration staff..

Misaki Kanno-chan~

Kanno: If you have any complaints, address them to the customer help desk~

Yousuke: Eh?

019

Yousuke: Ah..

Ngahooo!

020

{Today your luck....}

{Extremely bad.}

Kanno: Ah..

Yousuke: What the hell are you doing, dammit?!

{You won't have any luck if you go outside today~}

Yousuke: Jgh....

021

Yousuke: Quit friggin' messing around!!

Are you trying to kill...

ngh..

Hah...

Hah..

Kanno: You dirty little boy....

022

Kanno: Fall off the bike and die!

Girl: Kyah!

Yousuke: Hell friggin' no! You just stop it so I can get off!!

Ako: Th...

That was....just now..
(Handwritten- How mean...)

Ako: What's with you Oyamada!?

And to think I came all the way out here...!!

Yousuke: Uwaaah!!

Kanno: Dammit, and I'm in a hurry..

Did you hop on my bike because you were bored at home or something?!

Yousuke: What are you talking...

023

Thing: Kyohohohohohohoho

{That thing from earlier.....?}

Yousuke: Gyaaah!!

Mmph.

Kanno: Shut up and hang on!

024

Yousuke: Hold on, up until now i've been the only one who could see those...

So that means you..

You know something about it, don't you?!

Kanno: It's a 'doll'.

When the strong thoughts and emotions of people undergo condensation,

Doll: Ho

hoh

hoh

hoh

hoh

hoh
hoh

Kanno: They take on physical shape and become monsters.

Doll: Ho.

Yousuke: So...that thing is a 'Spirit'?!

Doll: Hoh

Hoh

Hoh..

Yousuke: But you can do something about it right?

025

Yousuke: DOWAAAHHH!!

Do something about that thing, I'm begging you!!

Kanno: I said shut it, moron!

We don't have the luxury to worry about that doll!

026

Kanno: If it bugs you so much, take care if it yourself!!

Yousuke: How? I can't even touch that thi--

Kanno: You've got something right there that can!

You've got a 'sword', right?

Yousuke: This is a toy though..

Kanno: Believe in it!

After all that thing is a surplus existence.

So using a toy weapon isn't too strange, right?

{A real...}

{Weapon...!!}

027

Yousuke: Of course it ain't gonna work!!

No way, no how, never ever!!

Doll: Ho...

Ho

Ho..

Kanno: Sigh~

No helpin' it then...

(Sfx- Kuii squeeze)

Doll: Ho?

028

Kanno: Say your prayers.

(Sxf- Shuuruu swiiiind)

{Th—this is...}

029

{Torcher}

{Sal tree}

(TN- It's a tree native to the Indian subcontinent, said to be favored by the god Vishnu.)

030

Kanno: Dammitall!

Thanks to you I've lost valuable time!!

If anything bad happens It's on you!!

Yousuke: Awesome...

{If I had that kind of power...}

031

{I'd never need to be...}

{Afraid of those guys again, right?}

(Sfx- Hyuuu wfft)

???: You're late Kanno.

Don't tell me you're lost again.....

Huh? Who's the brat?

032

Kanno: Natsume!

Explain the situation!!

Natsume: Aww, why? Are you mad because you're late?

Yousuke: The paper is...

{Is this her power too?}

Kanno: Give it to me straight.

I don't need any useless info.

Natsume: I..

I don't know either!

In any case 'Makina' is awakening!

It's because of that the seal has begun to weaken..

Kanno: Got it. Then I'm going in.

Natsume: Geez...

033

Natsume: You just use and abuse don't you?

Yousuke: Eh?!

Eeeeeeeee

eeeeeeh?!

034

Yousuke: Arrrrrrrrrghhhh!!!

(Sfx- Pohhh sreeee)

Yousuke: Whooooa...

035

Yousuke: Um...did my body just like...disappear back there for a second?

Nah...I'm just imagining things...yeah.

036

Yousuke: There are no people here?

Was there some sorta accident?

Kanno: They can't get in.

Well it'd be better to say they 'don't notice' this place.

Yousuke: Ow!

Kanno: This place exists outside of comprehension and conciousness.

These 200 meter square space was created by my allies and I, and it's a space that is beyond consciousness. Feel free to think of it as an 'Invisible wall'.

It acts as a 'prison' for something.

Yousuke: Invisible...? Prison?

Kanno: Yo~ Been waitin' long?

037

Kanno: It's about time we put an end...

To our long, long, destiny.

038

Kanno: Right?

Makina?!

Yousuke: Sh--

She's cute...

{A little girl?}

Kanno: Ah...

You said it.

Do you have a lolicon fetish?

Yousuke: No—no!!

Natsume: Hey Kanno!

(Handwritten- Sick!)

039

Natsume: You're going to settle things? What are you doing?

Your role is to repair the seal! Not break it!

Kanno: Zip it Natsume.

I'm here to put an end to this whole thing.

Yousuke: Put an end to it? What are you saying?

Natsume: You won't be pardoned for this!!

Makina: Oh, thank goodness...

I was so worried...

That despite hiding they would have found you...

040

Makina: I'm sorry...

Yo-chan...

???: Are you alone?

There's a monster hanging around here...

So why not let big sis here take you home!

That's a Beam saber right?

That suits you, I like it.

So your name is Yo-chan?

Well, I'm...

I am...

Hah..

Hah..

Hah..

Hurry! Run!!

041

???: You can hide in this space Yo-chan!

If you don't hurry he'll...

Here! Move your hand!

Over here, monster!

For your sake, I'll find a way to defeat it.

{Sis...!}

{You can't....}

{If you do something like that...}

{Sis you'll....}

042

043

{Sis...}

{I'm sowwy...}

{I'm so sowwwy...}

{I'm so sowwwy..}

{I'm sowwwy...}

044

Makina: You've...

Got a scar left over...

Kanno: I've been listening to you blabber on since before..

Whatsamatter, sleep talking, Makina?

Yousuke: W-Wait!

What is she...

Kanno: Hannya Hara mitta shuu

Sokusetsu shuwaa

045

Kanno: Gyatei gyatei hara gyate hara sougyatei

Ha ji sowaka!

(TN- Once again, the Heart sutra.)

Kanno: If that's the case...

Let me grant you eternal sleep!!

Natsume: Stop this, Kanno!

046

Yousuke: Hold on.

Kanno: Gyah!

Yousuke: I—I'm sorry...

But you're the one who wasn't listening to me, so...

Kanno: Oww....

Natsume: Ooh~

Kanno: ….huh?

047

Kanno: You little assface!

If you do something stupid, you might release the seal!!

Yousuke: I'm going to get you out of that!

So just hold on a second, okay?

(Sfx- Suhhh sssffft)

{I can't touch it?!}

048

Youske: Ugoh!

(Sfx- Zuzazazaahh Sssshht)

Yousuke: Wha...

What the hell?!

Ngh!!

049

Kanno: I have no idea what you're trying to do...

Natsume: Kanno!

Kanno: But this has nothing to do with you, 'hear?

If you don't get with the program...

I'm gonna get pissed with you, 'kay?

Yousuke: You're the one who needs to get with the program! I'm not playing around here!

As for what I’m gonna do...

I really don't have an idea either!

050

Kanno: That's rude, hitting a girl like that...

Natsume: You started it.

(Sfx- Toshh dfft)

Kanno: ...And...?

Wha?

Yousuke: But I just can't...

Bear to watch that girl like this...!

051

Yousuke: I won't let her out of my sight...

For a second time!!

Natsume: The..

Torcher...?!

Yousuke: Huh? Something....came out?!

052

Kanno: To see my 'power' and be able to create your own 'torcher'...

I may have to reevaluate your worth.

The torcher is basically 'emotion's power'.

The one and only weapon that works against those 'born from emotion'.

But it's not something that grants more physical power.

At all.

Yousuke: Huh?

Kanno: Hoi~

053

Yousuke: Ueahhh...

(Sfx- Aaaaaaghhhhh!!)

Kanno: So basically...

While that sword might be useful against them, it's just a toy in every other aspect.

Now, just sit back and get comfortable, since the end of the show is coming up.

Don't look away, or you might miss something~

Natsume: But that brat's power...

That can't be a mere coincidence. It would be a serious mistake to underestimate him!!

Are you listening to me Kanno?!

Kanno: Natsume...

I think it's about time you shut the hell up, before I rip you into confetti.

(Sfx- Gashhi gssssht)

054

Yousuke: Nnngh!!!

Kanno: What?!

{If the monsters I can't touch can be cut down...}

055

{I'll just have to slice it!!!}

056

057

Kanno: Oh shit. He really did it..

(Handwritten- This ain't good.)

Natsume: Th—the seal....

Yousuke: Are you okay?

Natsume: Has been broken!!

058

Yousuke: C'mon!

We have to hurry now or...

Makina: Yessss..
You're right....

059

Yousuke: It hurts..

{It's like touching a sheet of ice...}

Yousuke: Wait...

Kanno: MAKINAAAAAA!!!

060

061

062

Yousuke: Let me go!!

We can't just leave her there like that...!!

063

Kanno: Shut yer face.

Right now her 'hatred' is taking form within this space. If we don't get out of here before everything collapses..

Both of us are dead!

Yousuke: Uwooooh!!

Kanno: Natsume!!

Natsume: I got it!!

064

Yousuke: She's following us!!!

{What...}

{Happened to you....}

065

(Sfx- Boohh screeeeh)

Yousuke: Hah..hah..

Natsume: She didn't follow us apparently, so we should be safe.

But the truth remains that she did manage to escape...

Though it's not my fault or anything so good luck working that out.

Kanno: Natsume...

If you've got a problem with me, how about I literally tear you a new asshole?

066

Natsume: Ooh I’m soooo scaaared.

Then I guess a scardy cat like myself should go back home...

Kanno: What should I do....

I can't go home now...

What would I say to uncle....?

Yousuke: I—I'm at fault here too..

But you guys shouldn't have captured a girl like that in the first plac..

067

Kanno: That 'girl' you say?

You really are an unbelievable idiot.

Yousuke: Nggh..

Kanno: Don't you think something strange is going on?

Cause you've been infected by that doll too...!!

Yousuke; What are you doing?!

You're the one who's strange!!

Ungh!

{Then I noticed it.}

068

Kanno: A cursed marking.

That is an offshoot of their existence.

That marking will continue to eat into your body and draw more dolls o you.

{The girl I had met 10 years ago on that day...}

Yousuke: Haha...you can't be serious.

Kanno: She's the reason the anti doll administration staff was created...

said to be the most evil of all dolls...

{And the monster destroying woman who rides a motorcycle chancing after her...}

069

Kanno: She's our...

And now your...

Ultimate enemy.

(Phone: Today's luck is 'Extremely bad.'// You won't have any luck if you go outside today! For if you do, a disaster from the past will reoccur?)

{That incident hadn't yet ended for me....it seems.}
