I Am A Hero 3

nice! thanks ^_^

"I was thinking that Boys on the Run would be more... accessible...
but after reading the raw of chapter 8, it's hard to put this down."
This manga is also pretty hard, isn't it?

Only major issue is:
Page 82 "flavor" unchanged IN DIRECT CONTRAST TO PREVIOUS CONSISTENCY CHECK. Safe to say we're using US-based system.







Not for use. Redos.

Edits for the Tank

Notes for editing, character voices:

H: Hideo: Protagonist, 35, manga assistant, otaku, delusional, manic, obsessive, eccentric, low confidence, man-child.
Y: Yajima: Supporting character, Hideo's imaginary friend, subservient, stupid
Tet: Tetsuko: Tekko, mid 20s, manga assistant, a little bit dim-witted at times, rough when drunk and when she was younger, a pretty nice girlfriend all things considered.

Tet: I was able to get back early today, so I made some oden.
SFX: Gu- Gu-

Tet: But it might not have enough flavor.
Tet: Ah!

Tet: Were you just dancing?

Tet: No fai~r. I wanna seeeee~
H: Ha ha ha, no way. My dance is like the CHINESE MYTH DRAGON! [Lit: Living National Treasure Level][yeah fuck it I don't know what to use for something rarely seen that is somewhat related to living national treasure.]\this is so charmingly Engrish that you should just leave it this way\

H: Who knows if you'll get to see it in this lifetime!
Tet: Really? That's too bad.

Page 83
H: Here. Cheers~!
Tet: Thank you~! Cheers!
Tet: Hurry up and try the egg.

H: Hahh Hahh!

Page 84
H: Yup,
H: delish!!
Tet: Really?

Tet: Have some of the turnips too.
H: Oh.
Tet: I'm sorta worried about if I stewed them long enough.

SFX: Fu~ fu~

Tet: ...Hideo,

Page 86
Tet: you're just too cute!
SFX: Hyoi Paku
Tet: Are you really an angel?

H: Muhyo,
H: has my cover finally been blown?

H: Ah!
H: Hahi
Tet: I can see your nose hairs!!

H: T-tell me when you're going to pull them out.

H: Oouu!?
Tet: Okay, I pulled it out!

Page 87
Tet: Wa ha ha! Hideo, they're white!
H: What~ Oh man, that's bad, I've got a bunch of white hairs on my head too.
Tet: It's okay! Even if your hair goes white, you'll still be cute.

H: ...And so,
H: I interrupted Mitani's meaningless babble and just said it.

Page 88
H: I was all like, “A masterpiece is something that can still be read even after a hundred years”,
H: you know?

H: As for the reason why, well, it could be a thousand or ten thousand years too, but if time passes, culture and civilization undergo drastic changes...
Tet: Hideo.
H: Uh?

Tet: Look,
Tet: boobs.

Page 89
H: Oh!
H: Boobies!!
Tet: No,
Tet: get away~

H: Tekko, how about tonight?
Tet: Ahahahaha, sor~ry, my period just started.
H: ...I don't mind.
H: No~ that's gross.

Tet: ...Want a blowjob?

Page 90
H: Uhh—
H: so he said,

H: “Manga ought to be part of the counterculture”, and that it's really just something that's meant to be read and discarded...
Tet: Hide, don't hold back, just give it to me whenever you want.
H: Ah, okay.

H: ...and that's what manga is...
H: Nnghhh. [Ouuu, skeet skeet]

Page 91
Tet: You sure came a lot. Did you jerk off yesterday?
H: ...No, I was too busy.

Tet: You're going to stay over tonight, right?

H: Here, have another.

H: You're having some more?

Tet: Actually, I managed to finish up my storyboard today, so we're drinking up.

Page 92
H: Oh, you're finally done with it. How many pages is it?
Tet: 18 pages. Let's celebrate!

H: Let me read it sometime!

Tet: Nah, don't worry about it. I asked Nakata what he thought about it, so it'll be fine.

Page 93
Tet: And so, like, Nakata read my storyboards, and he said they were awesome!
Tet: And then, you know what else? Nakata let me read the storyboards for his new series, and he's done it again...! It's incredible!

H: ...I need to go to the toilet for a sec.
H: Hey, don't do that.
Tet: Hideo, when Nakata's series starts, you should read it too.
Tet: Before I was even finished reading half of it, I was, like, completely in tears.

Y: Ah.

Page 94
Y: ...So who's Nakata?

H: ...Some mangaka...

Y: Um, so how is he related to your girlfriend again?
Y: Sorry about asking you such a personal question.
SFX: Shibibibi

H: ...It's fine.
H: He's someone who used to work at Matsuo-sensei's studio. You know, the place I'm working at now. He's already made his pro debut.

H: She's a former assistant of Matsuo-sensei too. They used to work together.
H: So, he's her ex-boyfriend...
SFX: JoBoBoBoBo

Page 95
H: He's the kind of guy who would finger her
H: while they were riding on some motorbike he stole.

Y: Fingerbanging on a jacked bike? What a badass! [guts, obstinate, etc]

H: ...Well, I made up the part about the stolen motorbike,
H: but she told me about it once when she got drunk.

SFX: Kui Jyayayaya
Y: Ahhhhh!~

Page 96
H: ...I... Am...

Tet: Hey, you. Go buy some beer. *Zuzu
H: ...What? No, it's already...
Tet: Fine, then I'll go buy some.

H: It's too dangerous now.
Tet: Shaddup~ you talentless piesh of shiet!! You can't ohhhhder meeh around!! [Drunken slur, do what you want with it]
