(updated 9/18 to fix upload issue)

p1: =============================
[yellow]: Come, let’s set off on the journey of creation.
[bottom-left]: To celebrate Fushimi’s serialization debut, 69 pages + color!
[white text, upper-left]: Volume 11 on sale 9/17 (Thurs)

p2: =============================
[sfx]: Whoosh

[sfx]: Whoosh

p3: =============================
What? Seriously?!

Yeah. I bought the apartment some seven years ago,
but I was thinking of remodeling the place and renting it out to someone.

A-And that someone’s me?!

p4: =============================
Things got really busy here once we got into December, so you didn’t have any time to search, right?
Of course, you’re welcome to say no.

I-I’d be more than happy to take it!!
Thank goodness I came here to work under Mizuno-pro…

p5: =============================
[insert]: *Sigh*…

I’m losing a kilo for sure.

There’s such a thing as too much detergent!
You’re even going to lecture me on laundry?!

Looks like Furukawa-san won’t be able to make the end-of-the-year party.
She caught the flu.
Huh?

p6: =============================
I’ll bring two of my friends, a big-breasted writer and an underground idol from Oomiya!

Th-Then we’re just going to have filthy men at the party!
Seems like it.
Says the filthiest one of us all…

My big breasts… My underground idol…
[sfx]: Slump

*Flicker*

Are you heading home for New Year’s?

p7: =============================
Are you heading home for New Years?
[text in the grey area]: Read
Nah. With serialization starting up soon (in March), I’ll be drawing manga in Tokyo!!
Oh, right! :( I’m heading home the day after tomorrow. Guess we won’t see each other again this year.
[text in grey area] Read
By the way, today’s Mizuno-pro’s end-of-the-year party.
Nice!! I don’t have anything like that. 

Without the three of them coming, I feel bad for the store.
The proprietress said she’d cook up her best food, too.

p8: =============================
But who can we get to come at the drop of a hat?
Want me to call some of the guys who used to work here?

But except for Furukawa-san, they’re all guys!!
Girls!! Call in some girls!

I-I don’t really know much of anybody…
Hmmm. I’ve basically just got the misses.
You’re all useless.
So are you.

Umm…

p9: =============================
I tried sounding out a friend of mine,
and I think she’d be willing to come.

WHAT?!!

F-Fushimi-kun, you know a girl?!
More or less.
Does she have a boyfriend?!
I-I don’t think so.
Call her. Call her now!!

p10: =============================
[sign]: Fine Cuisine / The Lady Cai

So then, time for Mizuno-pro’s end-of-the-year party and Fushimi-kun’s farewell party.

Cheers!!
CHEEEEEERS!!

p11: =============================
Actually, graduating from here in four months is unprecedented.
[sfx]: Gulp x4

You really worked hard.
[sfx]: Munch x2

You still aren’t up to par, technically speaking.
I would rather you not slack off, even now that you’ve graduated.

[sfx]: Pwah!
Excuse me! Another draft beer, please!
Kawasaki, you think you’re going a bit fast?

Heck, Mizuno-san,
don’t you got something to say to Fushimi-kun?!
Mn…

p12: =============================
…
Be careful with women!

There was another talented artist who debuted alongside me. People expected even bigger things from him than they did me.
But he got mixed up with a no-good woman and his work turned slapdash.

Next thing I knew, he was gone from the world of manga.

[sfx]: Exhale
Picking the right woman really is key.

p13: =============================
Ah! Ishidou-san!!

Umm… Are you sure you it’s all right for me to be here?

W-Welcome!!

p14: =============================
Thanks for coming all this way. I’m Mizuno.
Fushimi-kun’s the man of the hour today, so you’re good!
[sfx]: Pwah!

Come to think of it, you still haven’t told us what resolutions you’ve made.

R-Resolutions?

[sfx]: Cough

Uh…. We’ve only been together for such a short time, but so much has happened over these four months.
I have nothing but thanks for all of you.

To be honest, I feel reluctant to leave you guys, but…
[sfx]: Tears

p15: =============================
[sfx]: Chatter
[insert]: Rin-chan… That’s a nice name.
Hey, no one’s even listening.
Guess that wasn’t the right time.

[sfx]: Cheers

I’m sorry, but we’re about to close up for the night.

Rin-chan, come with us to the next place.
O-Okay.
Let’s stay up till the crack of dawn!
[sfx]: Wobbly

p16: =============================
Then I wish you all a happy new year.
[sfx]: Bow

Huh? Hara-kun, you’re heading home?
But Rin-chan came all this way.

You reek of alcohol…
He might not think so looking at him, but Hara-kun likes the super-sexy big sister type.

Should I call Nishigaitsu-sensei?
Uh, she’s not the super-sexy big sister type!

Fushimi-kun, can’t you call someone?
Think of everything Hara-kun’s done for you.
You owe him this last kindness!
G-Give me a second, please.

p17: =============================
*Rumble*

*Rumble*
[phone]: Fushimi Norito / Cell

Hello?

It’s been a long time, Norito.
Lu-san, this is a shot in the dark, but are you free right now?

I’m certainly not busy.
[sfx]: Exhale
But it’s the second day of my period, so my stomach and hips are flaring up.

p18: =============================
Hara-san, please stay with us a little longer!!

[sign]: Darts Bar Rainmaker

[sfx]: Chatter

Lu-san’s a friend from back home?
Sh-She’s less a friend,
and more a former charlatan fortune teller.

[sfx]: Annoyed
I would like to make the last train home.

[sfx]: Creak

p19: =============================
[sfx]: Shivers

You look well, Norito. This feels like old times.

Lu-san, sorry to call you out of the blue!!
[sfx]: Rattle

p20: =============================
Allow me to introduce you. This is Mizuno-san.
A pleasure.
Y-You’re really a friend of Fushimi-kun’s?

I’m Hara, a member of Mizuno-pro’s staff!!

I’m Kawasaki, same!
[sfx]: Crackle
I-I’m Yaegashi.
She’s hot…

p21: =============================
<no text>

p22: =============================
Lu-san, this is Ishidou-san!

You texted me a picture of her before.

…She doesn’t look like a fraud.

p23: =============================
[sfx]: Chatter / Murmur

Then let’s split into teams captained by Lu-san and Rin-chan.
/ The losers have to sing whatever songs the winners name!

[sfx]: Slide
You’re up first, right? Here you go.

p24: =============================
…
Thank you.

[sfx]: Grab

?!

[sfx]: Clatter

p25: =============================
Huh…?

p26: =============================
Sorry. It’s nothing.
[insert]: Rin-chan, hurry up!

After doing all this stuff I’m not used to, I’m suddenly exhausted…
[sfx]: Sigh…

[sfx]: Fire

[sfx]: Exhale
That’s strange… My head should be clear today,

but when I tried to give her a viewing, I couldn’t see anything.

p27: =============================
She must have power far greater than mine!

p28: =============================
[insert]: I did it! / Yay!

Lu-san, it’s your turn!
Let’s turn this around!!
Please use my personal darts!!

p29: =============================
[sfx]: Ding

[sfx]: Bonk

[sfx]: Bing

[TL/N: The song is “Gimme Chocolate” by Babymetal. ]
Atatatah ta zukkyun (Thump)♪
Watatatahta dokkyun (Bang)♪

Zukyun (Thump)♪

Dokyun (Bang)♪

Zukyun (Thump)♪

Dokyun (Bang)♪

p30: =============================
[insert]: Yada yada yada yada (No, no, no, no) / never, never, never!

Chokoreeto, chokoreeto, cho-cho-cho ii kana? (Chocolate, chocolate, can I have a tiny bit?) ♪
Demo ne? Chotto weito chotto saikin shinpai nan desu (But you know? I’ve been a bit worried lately about my weight.) ♪

Look at you, singing like a pro.
This isn’t much of a punishment game…

p31: =============================
<no text>

p32: =============================
You were amazing.
You lost every round of darts, but every song they forced you to sing, you sang beautifully.

Meccha Holiday, Macho Dragon, We Will Rock You…
They should’ve picked different songs.

Just goes to show you have to make the right choice!

[sfx]: Whoosh

p33: =============================
Choose one, and hell awaits.
Choose one, and I will be saved.

[sfx]: Gulp

So then, have a good New Year’s!
You wound up staying till the end, huh.
Wee~. I’m a goner.
[sfx]: Swaying

p34: =============================
Wanna finish off with some ramen?
Sure.

[sfx]: Ding ding

If I win tickets to see Beck, wanna come?! You like them too, right? 

Honda-san…

p35: =============================
I want to go, but I do have my premier and all. ;_;

…The two girls today
didn’t seem normal to me.

Huh?

I couldn’t tell you exactly what, but…
[sfx]: Exhale

p36: =============================
Now for today’s horoscope.
Aries will meet a wonderful member of the opposite sex.

Mizuno-san, do you believe in fortune telling?
Nope,
not one bit.

You have high compatibility with Libras and Sagittarians! And you have bad compatibility with…
I don’t want to be controlled.

Cutting a path through life is a job for me and me alone!

p37: =============================
So then, good luck on your serialization!

Thank you very much!!
Feel free to drop by whenever.
He used no more words than necessary, yet they filled me with strength.

p38: =============================
[sfx]: Turn

[insert]: All right!!
[sfx]: Dash!

p39: =============================
<no text>

p40: =============================
It’s awe-inspiring to think that this is holy ground where, long ago,
Mizuno-san drew The Shunpei Chronicles.

[sfx]: Smack
Okay, time to start!!

p41: =============================
[sfx]: Ding-dong!

Happy New Year’s!
So, let’s help you out!

Well, I didn’t have much in the way of luggage, so I’ve already put everything away.

How many desks?
[sfx]: Walking in
Three desks just arrived, along with a kotatsu.
Then that’s perfect.

p42: =============================
Huh?

For someone just getting serialized, the first time’s key.
[sfx]: Snap

*Click*
You haven’t found any assistants yet, right?

So, as a gift to welcome you to your new home, we figured…

?!

p43: =============================
[sfx]: Scratch x4
[sfx in manga]: Slap / Hit / Pow / Pow / Crash
Hiya!
Hiya!

[grave]: Iwaki Family Grave

p44: =============================
[insert]: Hmm, hmm.
Remember, is it?

You’ve created a strange setting here.

If Shino Mirai-san were a bit sexier, she’d be perfect for me.

Guys… But this is your long-awaited time off.

Hey, hey. Start spacing out, and we’ll run out of work to do.

p45: =============================
<no text>

p46: =============================
You haven’t gathered any data on hospitals?!

If this isn’t realistic, all your other work is wasted!!
I-I’m sorry!!

Call your editor, get him to help, and start gathering some immediately!!
Which one of us is in charge here?
You’re a pain…

And heck, I’m at the kotatsu.

Fushimi-kun, I’m getting hungry!
I’ll get something from the corner store!

p47: =============================
[sfx]: Snore

You sure we should go without saying anything?
It’s fine. I bet it’s been days since he last slept.
What we did today should give him an easier time moving forward.

p48: =============================
He’s the kind of guy you wanna cheer on, eh?

He’s done well following my instructions.
It’ll be lonely without him around.

After all this, if he immediately gets canned, I’ll laugh so hard.

p49: =============================
Chinese Restaurant / The Young Master

This is nothing compared to Bizenkoku.
[sfx]: Ring

I got the tickets to Beck! It’s on March 3rd at the Nippon Budokan!
[phone]: Send / Close / Display

p50: =============================
[sfx]: Spit!

[sfx]: Cough x2

[note: text to the left of all of Fushimi’s bubbles says “read”
I just spit up my gyoza.
?!
I can’t believe it—of course I’ll go!!!
I know you might be busy, but this’ll give you power!
I’ll make time, come hell or high water!!

[sfx]: Yeah!

[sfx]: Ring

Nishiguchi / Is now a good time to come?!

p51: =============================
Fushimi-kun, long time no see!!

Nishiguchi-san, you came to celebrate my moving here?!
[sfx]: Creak

?!

Ten years of unswaying determination…
[sfx]: *tears*
But at 29 years of age, I, Nishiguchi Shuuhei, have finally done it!!

p52: =============================
I’m getting serialized!!
[sfx]: Grab
My first chapter’s in a special issue coming out in March!!

S-Seriously? Congratulations!!
[sfx]: Thud

It’s called Money Boxer.
[sfx]: Whoosh x3
The story’s about a boxer who gets stronger whenever money’s on the line.

You’re basically writing about yourself, then!!

p53: =============================
I’m off right now to gather materials at the gym.
[insert]: Take care!
Sorry to interrupt your work.

[sfx]: Close

[sfx]: Open
Oh, that’s right.
Do whatever it takes to make it to the next Nishigaitsu Meetup!

We’re celebrating Rin-chan’s birthday!

Oh, I’ll absolutely go!
When is it?!

p54: =============================
March 3rd!
It’ll be a triple celebration!
Huh?!

I’ll make time, come hell or high water!!
[text in the grey area]: Read

I can’t wait to go to Tokyo!

[sfx]: Roll x3

p55: =============================
[signs]: Kou / Dan / Sha

Yeah!

Thanks. It really does look different with full art, huh!
[sfx]: Tap x2

p56: =============================
And you got it in a month before the deadline.
I’m glad you don’t take over Mizuno-pro there.
Well, I didn’t want to experience the bloodbath that’s life right at the deadline.

I think I’ll have some assistants for you soon.
Thank you very much!

Could I ask you follow up the first chapter…
with some more color pages for the second?

The Editor-in-Chief!!

p57: =============================
Taki-kun’s Presence similarly started off with color pages for the first two chapters, and he placed well in surveys.
I was hoping for the same results from Remember.

There’s no way I’m losing to him!!

[sfx]: Scratch x4

p58: =============================
[same page as is on p64 in chapter 33] {
Shun-kun, Reality Pi is extremely dangerous.

The first subject to access it died when his neck was sliced by a martial artist.

He only died in the Reality, right?

Yes, but…

That test subject has been in a coma ever since!

‼
} <end page>

[same page as p65 in chapter 33] {
Dying in a Reality
exacts an equivalent toll on your real body!

[sfx]: Crack

[sfx]: Crack

p59: =============================
[sfx]: Smash!

[sfx]: Shove!

[sfx]: Whoom x3
He fights with a bench—and he’s strong!!

He must be the polycoriac man!

p60: =============================
[sfx]: Pound!

He’s going even with the winner of the martial arts tournament!!
[sfx]: Wow!
He’s got some skill!!

Shun-kun’s fighting?!
Wh-Why can he suddenly fight like that?!

Huh?!

p61: =============================
Why…? Yeah, why can I?

Why can I use kung fu?!

[sfx]: Mm.

[sfx]: Kapow!

p62: =============================
[sfx]: Slam

Gh…

Hmph.

I couldn’t help but get a bit into the fight.

Wow✧ what a shock✧^_^

Lu-san!!
Her writing’s as cute as ever…
Huh? Shibuya? Then maybe she’s somewhere nearby?

p65: =============================
Lu-san, what a coincidence!!
Heck, I think this is the first time we’ve run into each other during the day!!
[sfx]: Dash!

…This, too, might be some form of destiny.

[sfx]: Fire!
I enjoyed the end-of-the-year party.
Uh, well, thanks for coming on such short notice.

[sfx]: Exhale

p66: =============================
Norito,
I’ve been wondering whether or not I should tell you something.

I think…
I know what you’re talking about.

Are you free right now?
Oh, sorry, but I’m in a rush…

p67: =============================
…
/ Then I guess I’ll give up.

…
/ I think that might be for the best.

My future’s for me and me alone to find!

…
I see.

You’re welcome to read my manga, if you’d like!
[sfx]: Dash!

By the way, where are you headed right now?
