HUNGRY JOKER Tabata Yuuki case.13 – The Truth of the Labyrinth
<sfx: *quiver*> <*sfx: *scuttle*> Niels: Granny… // Granny–– // Granny…! // Uwaaaahhh Chitose: …thi-… s is……! // Just what in the world… happened––…
Page 2 Mavro: Good day, // lovely young lady. <sfx: *pat*> <sfx: *buzz*> Chitose (thinking): …! This man was the one who’s been whistling–––… Chitose: …who… are you…!? Dodomekis: I’m Dodomekis. // Nice to meet you, my beautiful young lady. [TN: His name possibly has two origins: The first being the Dodomeki (jap. 百々目鬼, “many-eyed demon” or more literal “demon with hundreds of eyes”), a predominantly female yōkai from the Japanese mythology, that is often depicted with hundreds of golden eyes, just like coins, on her arms. And the second being the hoodlum Yoromekis (jap. ヨロメキス) from Tezuka Osamu’s manga „Noman“ (1968).] <sfx: *blink*>
Page 3 Haiji: <Hmph!> I’ll try asking again: Who’re you? // And why are you in this place? Dodomekis: I ain’t talkin’ to no guys––!! <sfx: *GLARE*> Chitose/Haiji: Wha–––– Dodomekis: Oh my~, being all alone with that old woman has sure been lonely. Chitose: Do you know what happened to Niels’ grandmother––…!? Dodomekis: Hmm~~~ // “What happened to her”, you ask––…? <sfx: *sst*>
Page 4 Dodomekis: I have killed her~! <sfx: *fwwsshh*> Haiji (thinking): Black garments… // This man––– // is a Mavro…!! Dodomekis: You see, I’ve solely turned up at this place / in order to eliminate that Eureka compatible person. Haiji (thinking): A tall man, dressed all in black––…! // It wasn’t him, huh––…? <too bad>
Page 5 Dodomekis: Besides, / that ugly old hag / just seeing her alive was so displeasing it made me want to throw up…!! Chitose: How can you––… <sfx: *tremble*> Chitose: Huh… Chitose (thinking): My body… won’t move––…!? Dodomekis: Please, put your mind at ease. // Because I’d never do something like killing // such a sweet young lady like you.
Page 6 In picture: Curare Beak // When the aboriginal Indians saw the scene of an Amazonian bird bringing down his prey with a beak that’s been smeared with poisonous sap from pecking the bark of a tree, the arrow poison called “Curare” was born. // As a result of Curare’s effects being used as a muscle relaxant modern day medicine advanced. <sfx: *see~~p*> <sfx: *ruuu~n*> Dodomekis: For women I use neurotoxins to stop their movement so they remain just as beautiful. // But for everyone else, men, old folks, brats, they all get killed with pain-causing, deadly poisons……! // You see, since poisoning this old woman was hardly enough to satisfy me, / I had planned to head over to the nearby town as well… // But it was then that this old hag… <sfx: *GLARE*>
Page 7 Dodomekis: With her last remaining force // erected this bloody thing here, this damned mist labyrinth……! Haiji: So the mist labyrinth // was built for the purpose of locking away this man from the Mavro…! Haiji (thinking): And that means those Minotaurs, who were scaring away anybody who set foot into this labyrinth, // were summoned so that no one would be exposed to this man from the Mavro, huh? Niels: …then… that means granny…… // for our sake––… <sfx: *drip…*>
Page 8 Niels: Granny…! Vivi: How much longer are you going to continue with that? You cowering on the floor like that won’t change anything! // Hurry up and run away!! <sfx: *quiver, shake*> <sfx: *tremble, tremble*> Dodomekis: There was no way in hell I’d be able to touch such a filthy, disgusting old hag like her… / Thus–– // I was awaiting you guys, I was convinced more White Jokers would surely show up! // That way I’d be able to procure additional Eurekas…! // And if I were to combine the power of those Eurekas, escaping this place would become a walk in the park––…
Page 9 Dodomekis: …even so, // to think that such beautiful women would arrive… / made the waiting all the more worthwhile. <Fufufufu> // And there’s even two of them…! // Just imagining the tender curves // of those seductive bodies……! // You gals // shall also become a part of my collection–– <sfx: *whistle~*> Dodomekis: Due to the neurotoxins, they can only perform actions and motions that I choose… // my personal maids, that is. [TN: The kanji used for maids here is 人形 (“doll” or “puppet”).] <sfx: *startle*>
Page 10 Dodomekis (in picture): Fufufufufu / Fufufufufufu Dodomekis: Alright then, // let’s not waste any time and head home together~ <sfx: *KIIII*> Vivi: Don’t mess around with me…!! // You’re disgusting! <sfx: *ka-shing*> Vivi: Learn the proper way // of courting a woman–––!
Page 11 <sfx: *POOO~W*> <sfx: *vssshhhh*> Chitose: Vivienne-san––!! <sfx: *sizzzz*> Dodomekis: Hey now, hey now… don’t cha dare deceiving me like that! So you’re not seductive at all, are you……!? // You... / fused your body with a Eureka, huh–––…
Page 12 Dodomekis: I’ve got no need / for such an obstinate and ugly woman like you! <sfx: *OOOHHH*> <sfx: *THU~~~~D*> Haiji: ––Hmph, // usually I am someone with an overflowing interest in abnormal creatures…
Page 13 Haiji: I don’t know why // but for some reason your existence is so displeasing it makes me want to throw up…!! <sfx: *creep…*> Dodomekis: ––that… // shitty brat…… Haiji (thinking): It had no effect––– Explanation: From a scientific viewpoint, there is no clear distinction between “poison” and “drug”. // The very same chemical substance can be classified as either a poison or a drug, depending on its portion. // Therefore, bodily functions can be strengthened and intensified by controlling the nerves. Dodomekis: I’ll crush and friggin’ beat you to a pulp…!
Page 14 Vivi: How dare you hit a noble lady in the face, hm–––!? <sfx: *SHING*> <sfx: *whoosh*> Dodomekis: So dermal poisoning // won’t work with that skin of yours, huh… <sfx: *piew*> Dodomekis: Let’s try invading your lungs then––! <sfx: *bwaaahh*>
Page 15 <sfx: *cough*> <sfx: *ehho*> Dodomekis: And for that foul mouth, // let’s add an orally administered dosage as well, hm––!? <sfx: *dizzy…*> <sfx: *fwoosh*> <sfx: *whoosh*> <sfx: *splasshh*>
Page 17 Dodomekis: It is over, hm…! Haiji: ––not yet! // There’s one more person on our side! Niels: …huh!?
Insert line: Their final bet is!?https://mangahelpers.com/t/mr-prince/releases/37182Translation: Hungry Joker 122013-02-28T00:11:42+00:00Mr. Princeadmin@mangahelpers.comHeya fellas!
Here’s another double release of Hungry Joker from me. It’s sometimes hard to get up your spirits and translate a series that’s basically doomed to get the axe sooner or later… But you oughtta finish what you started, so that’s basically why I’m still doing this.
I’d like to dedicate this one to the guys from the Hungry Joker Wiki. Stumbled across their site when I was doing some research about a certain reference (who ever thought there was a Wiki for HJ already!?) and was quite humbled to see those guys really appreciate what I’m doing with these scripts.
One thing though: You do know I put quite a lot of thought into most of my name transcriptions, right? So there is a reason for how I jot down certain names. Let’s take Vivienne and Niels as examples: The current story arc takes place in France, thus I went with French spellings of those two names. :)
Other than that: Keep up your work there. And thanks for following me! - Enjoy this release!! (Despite that horrible Yaoi-ish atmosphere...)

Insert line: What kinda comment…!!
Vivi (in picture): To think he would say that after seeing me in my unsightly steel form…!? Haiji (flashback): beautiful! Haiji: <*mutter*, *mutter*, *mutter*> / Rather than manipulating metal the power of your Eureka is utilizing it with your own body–––… Vivi (in picture): Wha- what’s he thinking about!? I- I- I don’t get it…!! Haiji: ––is that how it is? Vivi: Th- th- th- that’s my line––––!! Haiji: ? What are you so flustered about? Vivi: N- n- no, I- I- I’m not flustered or a-a- anything! Chitose (in picture): Um, excuse meee~~ / Is it okay to open our eyes now? <sfx: *fssshhhh*>

Page 2 Haiji: Now then, let me explore your body thoroughly! Vivi: Wha- wha- wha- what are you saying, you foo~l–––!? <sfx: *fsssshhhhh*> Vivi: Huh? Haiji: Hm? Vivi: The-… they’re recovering–––…! Haiji <Hmph!> That means it’s futile, no matter how often we attack the mist. <sfx: *whoo~sh*> Haiji: That includes those guys as well! It appears our only chance is to deal with the Eureka’s adaptor who’s creating this labyrinth / one way or another!
Page 4 Vivi: …oh my… / we got lost, didn’t we? Chitose: L- looks like it. Vivi (thinking): I- I almost died of a heart attack back there! Vivi: This couldn’t be better! / After all, my power alone suffices for this. Vivi (in picture): Hohohoho Chitose (in picture): *beep* Vivi: That Eureka detector you’re carrying with you, that the White Jokers provided… // As long as we simply keep relying on this thing, the way we did until now, we should be able to reach our target destination. // Since those guys don’t have a detector, they’ll probably struggle quite a bit in finding their way. / So this labyrinth won’t disappear before we settle things! Chitose: I’m sure we’ll be able to reunite with the others at our destination! / Because despite being reckless and unreasonable the doctor is a capable man…!
Page 5 Vivi: Do you by any chance harbor a special relationship with that apple man? Chitose: Huh? Vivi (in picture): J- just what am I asking–––!? Chitose: Oh, no. Not at all–– / I’m just a regular assistant. Vivi (in picture): A- a- ah~, that’s how it is. Vivi: S- s- s- so that’s how it is, huh!? I mean, it’s not like my question had any deeper meaning to it or anything! // But still, I’d like to get to know that man better…… Vivi (in picture): J- just what am I saying–––!!? Chitose: I can imagine! / I mean, it’s a rare chance one gets to know a fellow Eureka’s adaptor…
Page 6 Vivi: L- l- l- l- like I’d ever want to get to know him–––!! Th- th- th- that ground beetle of all guys~~~ Chitose (thinking): Huuuh!? Chitose: But you– KYAAAHHH! <sfx: *creep*> Chitose: Vivienne-san! One of them showed up agaaaiiin! Behind you! Please, look behind you!! Vivi: No one would even want to lay their eyes on that guy––!! Chitose: What are you talking about––!? // Listen to me, please look behind yooouuu! Vivi: Im- / I- i- i- i- i-… <sfx: *KIIIII*> <sfx: *shing*>
Page 7 Vivi: Importunate––!!! Monster (in picture): So mean~ <sfx: *slash, slice*> Vivi (in picture): *gasp* Vivi (thinking): Oh nooo~~~ // As I expected, that girl is put off by-… Chitose: Amazing……! Vivi (in picture): Wha-…?
Page 8 Chitose: That was so cool, Vivienne-san–––! <sfx: *fsssshhhh*> <sfx: *pat*> Chitose: ––Wah!! But seeing you in that form will cause harm to one’s eyes, right––!? Chitose (in picture): What should I do!? Chitose: Vivienne-saaan, what’s gonna happen!? My eeeyes~~~ Chitose (in picture): *fluster, panicky* // Am I really going blind!? <sfx: *rush*> Vivi: That was a lie. / More importantly, let’s hurry and proceed before that monster recovers itself again! Chitose: Wha-!? / Oh, y-yeah! Vivi (in picture): Just what in the world–––… // …is the deal with those two…!
Page 9 Chitose: Didn’t you… just hear something, Vivienne-san…!? Vivi: Is that… // whistling…? Haiji (in picture): Hahahaha // Hahahahaha Haiji: We totally lost our way! Niels (in picture): *wheeze*, *wheeze* Box: A person who’s been tossed and shaken really badly.
Page 10 Haiji: Since we don’t have the detector it doesn’t really matter in what direction we’re heading. I don’t have a better idea anyway. Haiji (in picture): Hahahahahaha Niels (thinking): That’s nothing to laugh about. At all! Haiji: Even if we slice up one of those walls… // On top of being so narrow that only one person at a time can pass through, it also closes up again almost immediately. // Which only leaves us with… <sfx: *float*> Haiji: Upstairs, huh? Niels: Gyaaaarrghh <sfx: *whooo~sh*> Haiji: Hm. <sfx: *WHOOOOOSH*>
Page 11 Haiji: Hmph, // no good either. // To be able to create this kind of labyrinth with such a considerably vast range… / means the Mist Eureka’s adaptor must be quite apt to using it, huh? Haiji (in picture): Hahahahaha Niels: It was granny who created this labyrinth, right……? // I wonder if… she doesn’t wish to meet me again… // I wonder if… granny actually hated me in reality––… <sfx: *doo~~~~m…*> Haiji: Hmph, // let me give you this one piece of advice––– // As long as you’re afraid of failing and would rather suffer and worry without even trying // there isn’t but a single thing you’ll understand.
Page 12 Haiji: If there’s something you want to know about // you ought to ascertain yourself! Capture and grasp the truth! Niels: I want… // I want to meet granny…–– // I want to know… if something’s happened to her–––! <sfx: *fwish…*> <sfx: *fssshhh*>
Page 13 Haiji: Alright then–– <sfx: *sst*> <sfx: *grab*> Haiji: Let’s meet her and make sure of that! // There’s an experiment // I’ve been meaning to undertake sometime in the future. But this might be just the right time for it~ <sfx: *crackle, crackle* [two bites]> <sfx: *gulp*> Haiji: The intake // of two bites at once…! <sfx: *sst…*>
Page 14 <sfx: *THUUU~~~D*> <sfx: *freeze*>
Page 15 <sfx: *whooooo~sh*> Haiji: Let’s cut across in one go before the labyrinth recovers itself! Niels: Gyaaarrgh! <sfx: *cough*> Niels: Gyaaargh!? Haiji (in picture): Hahahaha Haiji: The backlash of two bites, huh. // Looks like it’ll still take me some more time before I can use it without any risk. Niels (thinking): He’s reckless and unreasonable from head to toe. // …… but still… what is this……? This sensation––… // This feeling of mine…… // –––… could it be… // that this man…… Niels (in picture): Aaahh Niels (thinking): But what if I get rejecte~he~he~hed? / That’s right… how could anybody… with a creepy guy like me~hee~hee~hee… <sfx: *gulp*>
Page 16 Niels: Ha-… / Haiji-kun…! Haiji: Hm? Niels: I-… / I wo- wo- wondered––… // i-… / if you’d like to be friends with me…? Haiji: Friends… / You mean people who act in concert and foster an equally close relationship with one another? <sfx: *thump, thump*> Haiji: Hmph, / I dunno yet. Niels: Th- th-… that’s right… I mean, we even only just met–––… Haiji: But it is highly probable. // Let’s find out henceforth and make sure of it together! Haiji (in picture): Hahaha Niels: Ye- // Yeah–!!
Page 17 <sfx: *clack, clack*> Box 1: A person who had to cut down Minotaurs on a total of 20 instances before arriving here. Box 2: A person who fell down a total 20 times before arriving here.

Only over here the wall is––… // Kyaaaah!? <sfx: *thump*> Haiji: Hm. <sfx: *WHOOSH*> Chitose: Doctor-! Niels-san! // The detector is responding to this place…! Haiji: Hmph, / it seems like in the end the reaction of the mist was leading us to the right place. Chitose: Until a little while ago there were whistling sounds coming from inside this place. / It seems like there’s definitely someone in there. Niels (in picture): …that’s weird. I never saw granny whistle––… <sfx: *step in*>
Page 19 Vivi: ––I’m afraid to say so… // but she’s passed away……! Chitose: …wha-… <sfx: *OOOHHH*>

After solely working on the Action-packed HUNGRY JOKER for several weeks switching back to Oumaga felt like a kick in the crotch. The amount of text is ridiculous. One chapter of OD amounts to about two of HJ!
But enough with the whining. Here goes nothing. Enjoy the release!

Insert line: The dreadful other side of the circus troupe…!!
<sfx: *ominous aura*> Michinoke: During the performance / it was your inaptness / which caused for a delay of several seconds // between the acts! // That ain’t good~. That reeeaaally ain’t good. The stage is a very fragile thing! / One small mistake will become a huge error.
★ Jump Comics Volume 3 will be in stores March 4! Isana will be on the cover!!
Suzuki: But director… / It hasn’t even been a week since Kikuchi-kun joined…! Kikuchi (in picture): Not just the bear… / …all of them… Michinoke: Then it was you who showed up on stage without putting his body and mind into it!? // You have to overcome that kind of pressure!! // You’re a pro after all, Suzuki!! <sfx: *whoosh!!*>
Page 2 Toy Toy: Stop! You can’t! // You mustn’t strike Suzuki! / Suzuki is a capable guy! // The bad one is the guy with the hair explosion! <*woof*> // That’s right! Isn’t it, Suzuki!? You’re listening, Suzuki!? / The useless one is that guy!! To be frank, he’s just so clumsy!! <*yelp*> Introbox: Toy Poodle // Toy Toy Biakkov: A useless guy? // Don’t matter to me… // I’m gonna bite’em and crunch’em!! // I’m gonna rip’em up and cut’em open!!

Page 3 Rodeo: Stop it! Biakkov: Never! <sfx: *whip*> Rodeo: So typical for a carnivore… showing us off to the newcomer right after the performance… // It’s not hard to guess what Michinoke’s intention behind this is… / it’s training!

Ready, set, go!! <sfx: *clap*> Toy Toy: You’re the loudest here! Right, Suzuki!? <sfx: *rattle*> Bubble: *RUMBLE, RUMBLE*!! Hana (in picture): A horse… and a poodle… and…… a white tiger!?

Page 4 <sfx: *ka-ching*> Biakkov: Slice… // and crunch!! <sfx: *crash*, *crash*, *crash*> Kikuchi (in picture): That’s an iron dumbbell…! What IS this guy…!! Impossible… Biakkov: Ngaaahh~~ more!! MORE!!! Michinoke: Don’t instigate him, Rodeo! // But that’s right: it’s training~, training! // At today’s performance we learned about this guy’s inaptness! // Since he can’t even do so much as handle a single animal sufficiently… / then, on the contrary, receiving the “Whip of Love” from an animal is the shortcut towards improvement, right!? <sfx: *clap*> <sfx: *pant, pant*>
Page 5 Kikuchi: Suzuki... –san! Suzuki: I’m sorry… Michinoke: That’s… // the kinda place this is! <sfx: *ominous aura*> Michinoke: But only to a point where he won’t die. Got it, Biakkov? Kikuchi: All… // I wanted… // was to change myself.
Page 6 Hana: EXCUUU~SE MEEE!! / Is there a~nybody arooound!? Kikuchi (in picture): That voice…! Michinoke: A visitor!? But we even put up a sign that this was a no trespassing area for unauthorized personnel… // You guys, hide away!
Page 7 Michinoke: Hey there, hey there, miss!! Excuse me but this area is off limits to visitors!! <sfx: *fwp*> Hana: Oh… // I-… I’m sorry! Hana (in picture): They were trying to chastise Kikuchi-kun!! // This man must be the circus director… // Is he a cursed human…? Michinoke: Miss, I’m sorry but this area is off limits! Michinoke (in picture): From her looks she seems to be a normal human… Michinoke: You didn’t… // happen to see anything, did you? Michinoke (in picture): But she does not appear // to be all too well-disposed.
Page 8 <sfx: *rumble, rumble*> Bear: It smells like rain…… // The clouds also look menacing… looks like a rain shower is coming. // Hey, // your group… you aren’t human, right? Uwabami: What…!? // Who are you!? <sfx: *twitch, twitch*> Bear: Someone who’s living under the very same conditions as you. // And I will also tell you why I know that…
Page 9 Bear: Even though you disguise yourselves in costume I can still tell. / Because of the smell! // Alas…! It started to rain… / I hate the rain, because it’s erasing the smell… // The director and I, we’re both surprised but also rejoiced. // That there were people who shared the same fate…… you know? Uwabami (in picture): …he’s a bit on the strange side… but he does not appear to be hostile. // Seems like we’ll be able to establish friendly ties, just like Hana-chan had planned… Shiina: Hey, Big-man! // I’m the director of the Oumagadoki Zoo, / Shiina! // Guide me to where the bear is! I want that bear! <sfx: *lifts hat*>
Page 10 Uwabami: Director!! Shiina: Now that’s familiar… [TN: Referring to how Hana usually does that move on him.] Uwabami: What do you want to show your face for!? / And more importantly, you shouldn’t talk like that…! Shiina: It’s alright! This guy knows all about the curse! Bear: The zoo… I see. Kisazou: That sure surprised me!! Sure did! Bear: Hurry up then… I’ll show you the way. Shiina: Yaaa~y! / Aren’t you quite the nice fella!? Uwabami: But director, we have to wait for Hana-chan to come back… Shiina: Meeting her again will be a piece of cake… probably!

Sign: Yatsudoki Circus
Michinoke: Reeaally~, so you’re an acquaintance of the little newcomer? Who would have thought~ Hana: Yeah… I heard he was working at the circus… so this is my first time paying a visit… / Oh yeah, thank you very much for the coffee. Kikuchi: It’s like… I’m really sorry that… // This is all kind of a sudden…
Page 12 Michinoke: Now it also started to rain… / we can’t finish tidying up. But we can make settle down // in the show tent! <sfx: *opens lock*> Hana: Excuse me… but there’s something I wanted to discuss with Kikuchi-kun in private… <sfx: *clatter*> Michinoke: I wanna hear some cheery, idle teen gossip~!! Hana (in picture): But I had hoped to save Kikuchi-kun and interrogate him about the whole story in detail…!! // What am I supposed to do? It’s hard to even think of something like establishing friendly relations with that person after seeing that stuff before! // There’s gotta be an opportunity for the two of us to be all alone… Michinoke (in picture): The brat says she’s an acquaintance of the newcomer!? // It’s troublesome enough to consider all the stuff the newcomer could blab… but more importantly, there’s a chance this ugly bitch is hiding that she actually saw Rodeo and the others. Maybe I should try investigating her a little… Michinoke: By the way, sis~… // you really haven’t see anything before, have you!?
Page 13 Hana (in picture): I have to dodge his investigations~~! Hana: What’s with all that questioning whether I have seen anything!? / Which reminds me, the bear didn’t even get on stage today, right!?Even though it was written on the poster… <sfx: *THUMP, THUMP*> Michinoke: Lately, it’s come under heavy public criticism to use animals… // So we grant even to crowd favorites like the bear a day off! // Look, / it’s been the same with how we only had the yellow tigers to appear in the tiger show, you know? Hana: Ohh! Come to think of it… // a white tiger such is a rare specimen and still you didn’t put him on your posters… Hana (in picture): Ah… Michinoke: That’s true… you see, he’s just such a ferocious fella we can’t let him appear in public yet… // But if he wasn’t on the poster and has not been featured in the show, then how come you know of him? <sfx: *grin*>
Page 14 <sfx: *STARE*> Michinoke: You saw him, huh? Hana (in picture): Oh no…!! // I screwed up!! Kikuchi: Aoi-san!! Hana: Wah… Kikuchi: What the… / It’s locked! <sfx: *clack, clack*>
Page 15 Michinoke: This should do for taking precautions. // After all, / there’s a chance that ugly bitch learned our secret! <sfx: *slurp, slurp, slurp*> Kikuchi: This way!! Hana: Wa-wah! <sfx: *rush*> Michinoke: Hrrmm~, what a waste of time! / I’ve taken care of that side as well… <sfx: *gag*> Michinoke: A long-awaited round of tag… // there’s finally a chance to let the tiger play again~ Kikuchi: Hah… hah… the audience seating side is also locked… We’re locked in… Hana (in picture): Why is it that all of the cursed humans have to be like that…!? Hana: Hah // Hah
Page 16 Kikuchi: I’m sorry, Aoi-san… / It’s my fault we’re in this situation… // Jeez… gimme a break… I can’t believe this. // What were those… those monsters…!? Hana (in picture): Hah… // Hah… Hana: Kikuchi-kun, was this… the first time you saw them…? Those…… “Transformed Animals”? Kikuchi: Well, of course it was! It’s not like this was a manga or videogame, you know!? <sfx: *BAM*> <sfx: *thunk*> Kikuchi: Ahh…! I get it…! / So that’s why… // That is the reason… why everything seemed so strange…… Hana: What do you mean……? Kikuchi: Why the director acted with such irrational violence… and why there’s this mood amongst the other troupe members who all seemed to have accepted it… // It’s ‘cause those monsters had occupied the place from the shadows……! But this doesn’t make sense…
Page 17 Kikuchi: What is this place……!? Hana: You didn’t know any of this until today, Kikuchi-kun… / but you said the other troupe members did? Kikuchi: Uh huh… I guess so… at least Suzuki-san… Hana: Suzuki-san? Kikuchi: The animal trainer who’s teaching me. // According to him, one day the director’s character just changed all of a sudden… Hana (in picture): A sudden change…? Does that mean he received the curse…..? // Then he probably set up this circus troupe in order to break the curse, didn’t he? // But I don’t get it? // Even if we assumed this… // While the circus does not appear to be more popular than the aquarium, how come that director has come that close to being human again? // This place is shrouded in way too many mysteries! Kikuchi: Oh jee~z… Hana: … why did you join the circus, Kikuchi-kun……? / And did you never think about quitting? Kikuchi: I never did! / After all, I……

Page 1 Haiji: Well, let’s enter it then // that mist labyrinth…!
Insert line: A puzzling mystery that makes their jaws drop!!
HUNGRY JOKER Tabata Yuuki case.11 – The Woman of Steel
Page 2 Niels: Granny is just like you… // a Eureka’s... adaptor–…!? Haiji: At this point that’s the hypothesis with the highest probability. // At first, I also considered a mirage or some sort of illusion but this…
Page 3 Haiji: …is a labyrinth molded out of mist……! // That is something that can’t be accomplished without the use of a Eureka’s power. <sfx: *fssshhh*> <sfx: *sink*> Haiji: Of course, it may be a different story if we were to assume she really was a witch after all… Haiji (in picture): Hahahaha Niels (in picture): Whaaa~t!? Niels: ––y-… you can make all of this from mist…!? Chitose: Niels-san… was your grandmother in any way peculiar or different before she disappeared…? / Did she maybe get hold of some sort of wondrous item–––… Niels: …even if you say something like that… // That’s perfectly normal for granny, she’s always like that… Witch (in picture): Eeeee~~~~hihihihi <sfx: *blub, blub* *boil, boil*> Chitose (thinking): She’s never been normal in the first place then…
Page 4 Vivi: Why did the old woman disappear to begin with? Niels: …I don’t know either…… / A few days back she was just gone all of a sudden without saying a word––… Vivi: Maybe she was running rampant when she couldn’t control the Eureka’s powers. Niels: That’s……! // Granny… come back to me……! // Don’t leave me… all alone……! Vivi: Excuse me, but… // SEEING YOU IS TICKING ME OFF! <sfx: *point*> <sfx: *flinch*> Niels: I’m sorry, so sorry. I shall see to it that I can meet your gaze as little as possible and put my every devotion into leading a quiet and inwardly la~ha~ha~hife! Chitose (thinking): Going that far!?
Page 5 Vivi: <Humph!> If you’re going to be alone, so what!? You’re really pathetic, aren’t you!? // There’s not a thing I haven’t been able to handle by myself! <sfx: *swish*> Chitose: Oh right… / you don’t even have an assistant, Vivi-san, do you…? Vivi: I don’t need anything like that. // Basically, sending me alone on this mission would have sufficed––… <sfx: *clack, clack, clack*> Haiji: Hmph, / did no one else enter this labyrinth? Chitose: Some townsmen supposedly did… // But it seems like they all turned back the minute they encountered monsters……! // …monsters… what in the world does that––---
Page 6 <sfx: *snooorrrrt*, *snooorrrrt*> Chitose: THEY APPEEEAAAARED!!! Haiji: Hm, / as expected, you hear labyrinth and you think Minotaur. Haiji (in picture): Hahaha <sfx: *snooorrrrt*>
Page 7 <sfx: *WHOOOOSH*> <sfx: *CLUTCH*> Chitose: Kyaaaahhh Haiji: Hm. Chitose: Do-… Doctor…!! // Are you alright–––!? Apple: *roll, roll* Haiji: Hmph, // quite the opposite really. / Seconds ago my powers reached the time limit. Chitose: Wha…!? Niels: Hiiiiiii! Chitose: …that’s––! Haiji: I guess I have no other choice but to rely on that woman there.
Page 8 <sfx: *OOOOHHH*> <sfx: *heavy steps*> Vivi: …it can’t be helped, huh. // Now then everybody, I’d like to request you to close your eyes until I tell you it’s okay to open them again. Chitose: Huh? Vivi: Unfortunately, the power of my Eureka causes harm to everybody who sees it. // So if you don’t want to lose your eyesight you better make sure to shut your eyes…! Chitose & Niels (in picture): Understooo~d! Vivi: That goes for you as well! // Close your eyes if you really wish to be saved! Haiji: Hmph. <sfx: *glare*>
Page 9 Vivi (in picture): That’s all but a lie. // This noble miss’s secret // is something that must not to be seen by anybody. Vivi: Well then, // here I go…! Text (in picture): Because… <sfx: *KIIIIHHH*> <sfx: *KIKIKI KIKIKI*> <sfx: *SHING*>
Page 10 Vivi (in picture): …there’s no doubt they’d be put off by it! <sfx: KIN*> <sfx: *snooorrrrt*>
Page 11 <sfx: *slash*> <sfx: *fsssshhhhh*> Vivi: Being an ugly monster–– // That’s something… // the two of us have in common… Text (in picture): The Sumerian Ruby // The world’s oldest alloy. It is said that the bronze from the Ancient Sumer civilization could only be accomplished by the discovery of molds made from this ruby. // Ruby (Aluminium oxide) exceeds bronze by far. Due to the nature of its melting point (2050°C) the creation of an alloy became possible for the first time. // This is my metal manipulating Eureka. / The thing that took everything from me… / …the daughter of an old, aristocratic household.
Page 12 Vivi (in picture): Six years ago during a certain incident // this thing was embedded into my body. // My parents who own a major corporate group had spent large amounts of money but no matter the procedures undertaken // it couldn’t be taken out of my body. // The ironic thing about the Sumerian Ruby is… // that by inserting it into a compatible human body it was showing its powers as a Eureka––– Parents: Unsightly…! Vivi (in picture): And I was abandoned. // After that, the White Jokers took care of me. // And I learned how to “use” this body of mine.
Page 13 Vivi (in picture): I was no longer the daughter of a noble household. // No butlers, no manor house, // I was just an isolated and lonely ugly girl. // But you know, // if there’s no butler around you can just make some black tea yourself! // If there’s no manor house anymore you can just become super rich and buy one yourself! // Now I can grow black tea shrubs and plant roses all by myself! // And I alone have created a company that’s even greater than my dad’s!
Page 14 Vivi (in picture): “To be cute” // “To be beautiful” // I was aiming for what I had lost before… // “Being a perfect noble lady” // In order to fulfill this there is still but one thing I need to procure… // A way to remove the Sumerian Ruby that’s been embedded into my body––!! Vivi: You’re–– // a real nuisance! Vivi (in picture): By means of my own force / I will regain everything!!

Page 17 Haiji: Hmph! // I see, / a metal manipulating Eureka, huh? Vivi: Wha- wha- / HOW DID YOUUU~~~!? // Aren’t you supposed to be caught––!? Haiji (in picture): Hahahaha Haiji: What I said about the time limit was a lie. <It was so I’d get you to use your powers.> <sfx: *fssshhhh*> Vivi: B- b- but I said you shouldn’t look–––… // I mean, I even said if you watched you’d lose your eyesight–––… / Are you a fool or what––!? <sfx: *ssssttt*> <sfx: *extinguish*> Haiji: Well, it’s because there was simply no way they’d send me on a joint mission with someone who possessed such a dangerous power. Haiji (in picture): Not even the Hungry Jokers would be that foolish, right?
Page 18 Haiji: Hmph, / the powers of your Eureka––… <sfx: *startle*> Vivi (in picture): What’s with that body––…!? // Woman of steel! // …so scary… // Unsightly! Haiji: …they’re beautiful! // The sudden creation of those exquisitely sharpened blades… // And the moves that refined those powers as you so freely unleashed them…
Page 19 Haiji: It was like one could catch a glimpse of all the efforts and struggles that were invested to reach that level. // To that polished beauty of your hard work, / I pay my respect! Haiji (in picture): Hahahaha Vivi: Wha- wha- what a- a- are you // sa- sa- saying––…!? Haiji: Now show it to me one more time, closely and without rushing.

Vivi: Hohoho / That is indeed the kind of story common people would come up with. Haiji: Hmph, / does this mean that old woman is the adaptor of a Eureka…? // She has got any family? Chitose: It seems like she’s been living together with her grandchild…
Page 15 Haiji: Is this her house? / The mist is right under one’s nose here. Chitose: Somehow… this place feels like a ghost or something is about to pop out from it any minute! Vivi: You really are a fool, huh? Like these kinds of things even exist… Haiji: Hmph, / looks perfectly normal from the inside. Vivi: And how’s that? / Just look at this room! Such poor taste!

Author’s column:
Thank you very much for picking up the third volume of “Oumagadoki Doubutsuen”.
I was in second grade (of elementary) when I decided to become a mangaka. The reason was that my friends complemented me on my scribbles. I’d love to show this compiled volume to those friends and myself from back then, and to my parents as well. I’d tell them: “I made it! I became a mangaka!”
_____________________
It’s the 3rd volume. Thank you very much. When I had dinner with my teacher Tanaka-sensei by the end of last year, I plucked up all my courage and asked him for a certain favor, which he cheerfully agreed to. He drew an illustration for me! I’m just so moved. Just like with volume 2, it got included to this volume. I’m so damn happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s on page 46.
_____________________
Illustration
Congrats!!!! Vol. 3 – On Sale!
I love those lively characters you draw, Horikoshi-sensei. Tanaka Yasuki
[Tanaka-sensei (Hitomi no Catoblepas; Kagijin) drew a picture of Hana and Uwabami.]

Kaizou
Walrus = 海象 = Kaizou* It seems like the natural enemy of the walrus is the orca. Quite the dangerous connection…
The giant geezer who was just so determined and earnest when it came to the shows was fun to draw. Especially because of how simple it.
[TN: Horikoshi obviously wrote something else in Japanese. He just explained how there exist two words for the same animal, i.e. walrus, one being “seiuchi” and the other being “kaizou” (sea elephant) and how he derived the character’s name from it.]

Hana: Igarashi-san, hang in there…!! Chita (thinking): She’s… unexpectedly fast

The director of the Ushimi Construction Company. You just can’t picture the old man as a company director. He even shrugged the strange appearance of the aquarium director off with a mere: “You’re a funny one~”. How he puts up with just about anything as long as he finds it interesting makes him resemble Shiina quite a bit, right? You really wonder how that man has reached his current position…

The aquarium director. He’s so huge! In the last volume I mentioned how I decided on this “wild creature motive” for the aquarium but the truth is that all goes back to this exact form of its director. It all started from there.
Before the story even got serialized I just had this vague idea of how there should be a battle with an aquarium that’s run by a whale. And from that idea I drew a rough sketch of this form. I did not think up his human form then. At that time I had the plan to make him say something like “After this fight you’re gonna whale!”*, I think it was a good idea I scrapped that part!
[TN: In the Japanese version Horikoshi writes he intended to use the line “makkō shōbu” (lit. “direct confrontation”/”fight head-on”), whereas said makkō sounds like the species of Isana’s animal, i.e. sperm whale (makkō kujira). Now since this is a comic for kids I did not go for any nasty wordplays involving “sperm” but rather decided on this cheesy line and play with the sound of “wail” and “whale”.]

See you, Aquarium!
I had mentioned this before, but while working on the concept for the series I thought it would be so cool to draw a battle of a zoo and an aquarium. Now that I got the arc to a proper ending (just like I intended it) I’m just extremely happy. However, back when the story was published in the magazine there were a few passages that were a bit difficult to understand, thus I added some minor complementary content* (the passage when Sakamata explains his reasons for opposing Izana) … please excuse the inconvenience! When looking at that double-page spread of the aquarium director transforming amongst the cheering and noise of the visitors to join the decisive battle, you can tell just how much I love giant monsters.
In terms of this whole zoo vs. aquarium thing, while I do love them both of course, I think that the aquarium might have the slight edge for me, frankly speaking. I don’t mean in regards to the manga but in terms of fun places in real life.
That dark, slightly uncanny and pleasantly cool inside of an aquarium makes your heart just throb of excitement. There’s absolutely nothing like that atmosphere! I must have received several fan letters asking if I took the Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium as a model for the Ushimitsudoki Aquarium but the truth is I didn’t really plan to base if off any real life model. Still, it’s been many a time that I have set foot in there when I was younger so I guess it’s only natural in a way that the building turned out to resemble the Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium. Of course, that does not mean that I think their place is like a prison (for the animals) or anything like that! It’s always been a real fun place. Sure brings back a lot of good memories~!
Let’s stick to the fan letters a little longer: I received many questions like, “If you hear of whales you immediately think of the world’s biggest animal, the blue whale. But then why did you decide on the sperm whale?” I’d also been wavering about this one but it seems like the sperm whale is the world’s biggest carnivore, so I thought “World’s biggest carnivore sounds hella strong!” and it all stemmed from this extremely simplistic idea of mine. And the shape of their heads is just really cool!
That should be all about the aquarium. Because there are still many things I’d love to draw about it, I feel like it’d be real nice if I got a chance to draw them as much as possible. Please excuse this incoherent little essay.
[TN: You may be wondering what this is about. Apparently, Horikoshi added two more pages to the Tankōbon version of chapter 23 of Oumaga. – I also just happened to notice this through his comment right here! (Had to dig up the corresponding issue of JUMP and checked page by page…) I do not intend to translate them for now since I don’t think many of you own the Tankōbon and will ever get to see this “Extended Edition” of chapter 23…]https://mangahelpers.com/t/mr-prince/releases/36830Translation: Hungry Joker 82013-01-24T15:39:37+00:00Mr. Princeadmin@mangahelpers.com...I know, this one was supposed to be released a tad earlier but our project leader who's also responsible for proofreading is stuck in exam hell. So cut the guy some slack, hmkay?
Rumor has it that HUNGRY JOKER did not really manage to appeal to the Japanese readers in the early chapters. Let's better hope the results improved a little over the course, otherwise I'm afraid the series won't make it past the 20 chapters mark...
Anyway: Enjoy the chapter and thanks for the support!

Message from the Translator
Dear Reader,
If you’re reading this note it means you decided to pick up the newest chapter of Tabata Yuuki’s Hungry Joker brought to you by Mr. Prince and Kiss Scans! Let me congratulate and thank you for this!
As of January 2013 it appears there are currently at least three groups covering the series, quite a waste of manpower, time and effort if you ask me. Out of these groups there has been but one single guy who has been sticking to the series ever since it started, that would be my humble self: Mr. Prince!
To be honest, I find it rather annoying to see that we will eventually have to compete with a bunch of bandwagon hoppers who decided to pick up the series some point along the way. What pains me the most is the simple fact that not one of the rivaling groups manages to put out a product that is on par with what the fine guys at Kiss Scans and I have been providing up to this point, neither in terms of translation quality, nor in regards to the scan quality. – If this wasn’t the case I would have stopped releasing scripts for Hungry Joker weeks ago because I’d be assured it was left in good hands. But as of now it seems there is not a single competing translator around who can produce accurate scripts of decent quality.
This is why you will find this message in our upcoming releases for Hungry Joker. If you’re a fan of the series and like what you’ve been reading of it so far, always make sure to look out for our releases! Other translations lack the consistency and accuracy that I have made sure to deliver since day 1. Other releases lack the efforts and quality Kiss Scans have made sure to provide for you guys ever since we decided to join forces.
So please keep on supporting us and spread the word among fellow Hungry Joker fans:
If you want to enjoy Hungry Joker to the fullest, keep your eyes up for the releases of Mr. Prince x Kiss Scans!
Thank you for all the support and positive feedback thus far.
Kindly, Mr. Prince

EDIT: It appears there's been a mess up in some BB Code tags. Should be fixed now.

Page 1 HUNGRY JOKER Box: There’s an old and timeworn // hammer. // It seems like what caused the sound that eventually led the mathematician Pythagoras from Ancient Greece, // famous for his Pythagorean Theorem, to discover the “Pythagorean Scale”, // the oldest musical scale one could also call the base of music, // was the hammer a blacksmith wielded back at that time. // And at present…
Tabata Yuuki case.5 – The Man from the Museum
Side line: Off to pursue the next clue, the “Pythagorean Hammer”! The scene is a museum in the UK…!!
Page 2 Box: the man who stands up to watch over that exact same hammer // is me, Alan Blackman! // I wonder what’s so interesting about the thing / it lures an onrush of visitors to this royal museum day after day. Visitor 1: What’s with that curator…? He’s, like, wearing headphones…!? Visitor 2: Not to mention how scary he is! Just look at that glance!
Page 3 Box: If there’s one thing I hate, it’s noise! // Usually, you'd assume a museum to be a quiet— Visitor/Boy: Whaaaa--!! // The curator is listening to music~~! / You mustn’t be so sloppy at work! Box: And I also hate little brats! Alan: Shaddup, // I’ll kill you! <sfx: *glare*> Visitor/Boy: What the he~~~~ll!? // I’m a bloody visitor--! <sfx: *dong*> <sfx: *shake, shake*> <sfx: *flap*> <sfx: *beep, beep, beep*>
Page 4 Visitor/Boy: Waaah— turning up the volume just like that!? // Don’t ignore meee----!! Alan (thinking): …in the end the only thing that really calms me down // is the crying of a herd of goats in the plains… Goats (in picture): Baaaaahhh / Baaaaahhh Alan (thinking): When will this working day finally be over…!? // Today’s just like yesterday. Always the same, day in and day ou---… <sfx: *sigh~…*> <sfx: *bustle, bustle*> <sfx: *glitter, dazzle* x 2>
Page 5 Chitose: Doctor-! // Please stop it, this is embarrassing! <sfx: *whisper, whisper*> Chitose (in picture): Even continuing in London… Haiji: Hm, / there’s no shame in what I’m doing. Chitose: The children might imitate you--! // And more importantly, everybody is looking at you!! Boy (in picture): Wah-- Chitose: Cut it out--… <sfx: *glare, glare*> <sfx: *slip*> <sfx: *stroke*> Chitose: ! Hiii // Doctor! There’s a scary staff member looking at us---! <sfx: *whisper, whisper*> Haiji: Hmph… <sfx: *fwmp*>
Page 6 Haiji: Now then, Chitose, go negotiate things so they’re willing to give me that hammer. Chitose: Whoot!? // What are you saying!? / It’s a national treasure! // It’s obvious they’ll never agree to this--!! <sfx: *whisper, whisper, whisper*> Haiji: Figuring out a way to persuade them is up to the assistant. It’s your duty! Chitose: There’s not a single assistant in the world who could pull this ooo~~ff!! <sfx: *slip*> <sfx: *clatter*> Chitose: Kyaaa <sfx: *panic*>
Page 7 Chitose: Pleeaaase! <sfx: *patch*> <sfx: *screeee~ch*> People: Oohhh~~ Chitose: Th- tha- / that was close……! <sfx: *wheeze, wheeze*> <sfx: *thump, thump*> <sfx: *drop*> <sfx: *clonk*> <sfx: *clatter, clang*> Girl: That big sis broke the hammer~~ Boy: Ohhh, true! It’s broken!
Page 8 <sfx: *grab*> Haiji: Hm. Boy: They got taken away! Mother: Don’t look!
Page 9 <sfx: *grumble*> Alan: I’m the one in charge of that hammer. // Leave this to me. You guys get back to your normal duties. Chitose: I- I- / I’m so sorryyy~~~!! // Even when I was telling the doctor to watch out--… / In the end it was me who… oh my god, what have I done~~~~ Chitose (in picture): Aahhh <sfx: *bow, bow*> Alan: There’s but one thing I want to ask you…
Page 10 Alan: What did you come here for? Chitose: Tha-… you see, that is… / um… well, it’s~~ Haiji: I want to use the Pythagorean Hammer for my research. / Hand it over! Chitose (in picture): Pffffffft! Chitose: What are you saying there all that bluntly~~!? // And what’s worse, I accidentally broke the hammer already, didn’t I!? // I’m so sorry~ so sorry~~ Chitose (in picture): Aaahh <sfx: *bow, bow*> Haiji: Nah, you’re wrong. Chitose: Huh?
Page 11 Haiji: That hammer was a forgery! // The real one… // is in this man’s possession……! // I found it slightly suspicious for the Pythagorean Hammer // to be displayed with such convenient timing. // Now if this happened to be a trap to lure somebody out… / the possibility of the original item being displayed would be rather low. // But now… / even though it might be unfitting for me as a scientist to say this…
Page 12 Haiji: …more than reason, // it was my gut telling me this. // In that exhibition hall there were signs of a “Eureka” being present, // but I didn’t have irrefutable proof whether it was that hammer or not. // Well, that was only until it got demolished that I was convinced it is not. Haiji (in picture): Hahahaha Haiji: That’s your achievement! // And now, / with you standing right before my eyes like that I understand: // the Eureka is in your breast pocket--…! <sfx: *lift*> <sfx: *thud*>
Page 13 Alan: Same goes for you! Chitose: Ah-… Alan: As expected, you’re the guy who awakened Newton’s Apple-- // I’ve heard about you… // Thank you for all your precious explanations… // but they make my ears hurt. [TN: Alan uses the term kakuseisha (jap. 覚醒者), that literally means “Awaker” or “Awakened Being”. I still cannot be sure how the term will be used throughout the series so I decided to put it like this for the moment, rather than as a proper noun or title.] <srx: *rustle*> Haiji: That’s a real shame. / There are still many, many more…
Page 16 <sfx: *iii~nk*> <sfx: *bzzz, bzzz* [vibrations]> Chitose: Doctor…! What’s this…!? / Looks like we’re facing a real predicament here--…! <sfx: *oohhh*> Haiji: …hmph, // getting killed would indeed be quite troublesome, now wouldn’t it!? Chitose (thinking): He took a bite before we got detained / and held it in his mouth all this time--…! <sfx: *gulp*>
Page 17 <sfx: *whoosh*> Haiji: At any rate, I’m still but in the middle of investigating the truth about my identity… // so would you mind not butting in!?
Page 19 <sfx: *tap, tap, tap*> Girl: Da hell, Alan!? <sfx: *THUD*> Girl: You can’t do anything that has nothing to do with the mission! Alan: …what are you talking about!? I just wanted to see a little sample of his powers… <sfx: *flabbergasted*> Chitose: What-… is going on…!? <sfx: *turn around*> Girl: Haiji-kun~ // How would you like to join us, “White Joker”, // in our task of saving the world? Girl (in picture) Aha~

Since i had been receiving questions about this: Expect the new script usually around Friday or Saturday. I'm not gonna rush things. I'm a slow but thorough worker.

Page 1 Insert line: The next clue to investigating his memories…
Haiji: There’s a possibility the “Pythagorean Hammer” that’s currently exhibited at the Oh'ei Museum // is one of the “Eureka” like this apple. // Which is why we’re going to England, Takeda! Haiji (in picture): Hahahahahaha <sfx: *pat, pat*> <sfx: *clap, clap*> Chitose: …doctor! // Excuse me……
Page 2 Chitose: I’m very sorry but I just can’t keep up with this anymore!! // I’d like to request you to let me off as your assistant!!

Tabata Yuuki case.4 – Assistant
Page 3 News reporter: …on the incident at a hospital where several in-patients were found naked and unconscious in various locations throughout the hospital… // it appears that a number corpses have been moved from the morgue as well— Chitose (box): Good morning, this is Toriiooji Chitose. // I’ve been working part-time as an assistant to a certain doctor // but feeling that I’ve reached my limit on several occasions I had to quit eventually. News reporter: Furthermore, none of the in-patients are in critical condition… Chitose (box): The doctor should be sitting on a plane right about now… // From now on, I’ll be trying my hardest as just a regular college student. <sfx: *clack*> Chitose: Good morning, mom~
Page 4 Mom: Haiji-kun, would you like a second serving? Haiji: Hm, / thank you very much. <sfx: *munch, munch*> Haiji: Hm, // such a late riser, Sugita! Chitose: It’s Toriiooji! Mom: Oh my~ good morning, Chitose. Chitose: What are you doing at my house, doctooo~~r!? Haiji: I’m having breakfast. <can’t you tell from looking?> Chitose: Weren’t you heading to England…? Haiji: No living creature can exist without ingestion. / And I must complement you how well-balanced this menu is, Mrs. Mom! [TN: Haiji uses a not all too common yet very polite and respectful form to address Chitose’s parents, i.e. Okaa-san-dono (お母さん殿) and Otou-san-dono (お父さん殿) respectively. This would be the closest adaption of that form, please bear with it.] <sfx: *munch, munch*> Mom: My~ my~ that’s great to hear~~ Chitose (in picture): They kinda get along well for some reason--!?
Page 5 Mom: Oh my~~, Chitose, why haven’t you told me sooner that you’re working for such a smart and cute doctor~? Chitose: But I quit already… Chitose (in picture): ‘Cause I didn’t want to worry you, mom! Mom: Is it possible you’ve used the charms of a senior to snatch yourself a juvenile genius scientist, Chitose~!? Chitose (fantasy): So you don’t like / senior girls, doctor~? <sfx: *ppffffffft*> Chitose: NO! Mom: You really are your mother’s child~ // C’mon, why not introduce him to your father. Mom (in picture): Like mother, like daughter~ <sfx: *diii~ng* (death bell)> Mom: You know, her father was a scientist as well just like you, Haiji-kun~ // But he passed away in an accident 6 years ago. Haiji: Hmph, // what is it you say in these kinda situations…? // Please accept my deepest condolences.
Page 6 Haiji: So there’s no Mr. Dad around… // In that case, Mrs. Mom, there’s something I need to talk to you about. Mom: Yes, go on~ Haiji: I’m asking for the hand of your daughter. <sfx: *ppffffffft*> Chitose: Wha-wha-wha // what are you saying, doctooo~~~r!? Mom: Alrighty~♪ She’s all yours! <sfx: *ppffffffft*> Chitose: You, too!? What are you saying, mom--!?
Page 7 Chitose: Mind coming with me for a second, doctor!? Haiji: Hm, / what is it? I’m just following the proper rules of society here… Mom: <Oh my~> What might you be planning to do, just the two of you in your room, Chitose~? <sfx: *Ufufufufufu*> Chitose: Just zip it, mom! Haiji: What’s with this room…!? // Who would want to live in here!? Chitose: … I’m sorry. Haiji: Still, something in here sure smells nice~ // It’s an odor I’ve never smelt before… might you be fermenting something in here? Chitose: No. <sfx: *sniff, sniff*> Haiji: Hm, / and what’s this taxidermied animal I have never seen before? Haiji (in picture): What family does it belong to? Chitose: That’s just a regular stuffed animal.
Page 8 Chitose: Bu- but more importantly, what was that all about just now, doctor--…!? // So… i-is it true that… // I- I mean, that you like me……? Haiji: Like you? / Good grief, so that’s what that line means? <sfx: *crackle*> Chitose (in picture): HUUU---H!? <sfx: *float*> Haiji: I only came to ask for your helping hand as my assistant! // I will do my utmost possible to guarantee your safety with these powers of mine! <sfx: *flooaaa~t*> Chitose: --…wha… // what’s the meaning of this---!? / Huh… no, no, no… // Before we talk about my safety and such, it’s not like I’ve actually ever been much of a help in the first place…!?
Page 9 Chitose: …I couldn’t even do anything significant within just ordinary research… // But once those absurd situations occur I’m completely taken aback and can’t do anything at all. / I fear I might only end up being a burden on you, doctor…! Haiji: Hmph, // it appears that you don’t know this,… // but ever since you became my assistant the results of my research on mysterious things have progressed remarkably. Chitose: Huh…? Haiji: That’s an evident fact as proven by my data. // It’s certainly true that your abilities are extremely low compared to a proper assistant. // There are times when your constant confusion of chemicals drives me up the wall, / or your habit of falling over for no good reason whatsoever confuses me because I can’t understand it for the life of me. // While on the other hand…
Page 10 Haiji: There’s also the warmth of tea you make during work // that makes me feel relieved. // Things I “didn’t have” at all before you came around. // It appears that through your intervention // I can somehow “discover” new facets about me. // In the 6 years before I met you, / in the end I couldn’t solve the mystery about myself… // But now it’s like I might actually be able to solve it—
Page 11 Haiji: The key to this must lie in you. // Looks like it’s just how that one quote from Edison put it: “Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration.”---… / It appears that somehow // you are that 1% to me. [TN: Tabata took some slight liberties in modifying that quote. Edison actually said in 1903: “Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.”] Chitose: U-… um… Haiji: Well then, I shall repeat myself again—
Page 12 Haiji: Become my assistant, // Toriiooji Chitose!
Page 13 Chitose: --please… / let me think about this some more… Mom: Oh, Chitose. // You two finished your talk? // You know, seeing Haiji-kun makes me remember you dad. Chitose: Huh? Mom: They’re quite alike, don’t you think? // Their overly straightforwardness for example… <fufu> // Despite the maaa~ny hard times dad faced during his work / he still enjoyed it a lot, you know? Mom (in picture): Fufufu Mom: You’re the same, when you were complaining about how hard it was that you always get pushed around by the doctor / you still looked so lively to me!
Page 14 Mom: That kid will surely make some great discoveries~ // As long as he’s got someone indispensable at his side to support him~ <sfx: *firm* [pressing lips together]> <sfx: *pat, pat, pat, pat* [storming upstairs]> Chitose: Doctor-- // I- I’ll be… // trying my hardest as your assistant!!
Page 15 Haiji: Hmm, / let’s go to England then. <sfx: *step, step, step*> Chitose (in picture): i-impassive! Chitose (in picture): Huuuh— Chitose: Even if we leave right this instant we’re still at my house, / there’s no chance we’ll ever make it in time for the plane to London whatsoever--! Haiji: I know that. Chitose: Huh? <sfx: *RUMBLE, SHAKE*> Chitose: Wha-… // what was that--!? <sfx: *clack*>
Page 16–17 Haiji: Which is why by using the powers of the apple I already got us to a location from where we’re guaranteed to be on time. Mom: Oh my~ Chitose (in picture): Oh jeez… that doctor…
Page 18 Haiji: Let’s go, Chitose! Haiji (in picture): Hahahaha Chitose: Yes~ Box: England – London // Oh’ei Museum
Page 19 <sfx: *tchik*> Guy: …now… // let’s see what kinda bastard takes the bait~…… <sfx: *ffttt*> <sfx: *glooo~w*> Guy: …not that I’d mind if this blew over without me killing anybody--…
Insert line: Nothing ventured, no “truth” gained! [TN: This is a modified version of the Japanese saying koketsu ni irazunba koji o ezu (jap. 虎穴に入らずんば虎児を得ず), which literally means “You can’t catch the tiger’s cub, if you don’t enter the tiger’s den!”. The English equivalent for this is “Nothing ventured, nothing gained!”. Tabata changed the second part to »“shinri” o erarezu« (jap. “心理”を得られず) or “no 'truth' can be gained”.]
Final line: Next issue – Haiji disembarks in the UK! What awaits him at the museum…!?https://mangahelpers.com/t/mr-prince/releases/36397Translation: Oumagadoki Doubutsuen 282012-11-26T01:57:28+00:00Mr. Princeadmin@mangahelpers.comCan you believe it? I really made the magical 50! That’s quite the milestone for me, really. I remember how I started translating when I had learned Japanese for, like, six months or so. Boy, what a mess that first script must have been. (I’m actually too ashamed to check for myself…) But here I am a few years later, still one of the slowest fucks who dare to call themselves translators but at least my Japanese has improved to the point where I can work myself through a single chapter without feeling like eating my own face every 10 minutes (out of despair because the Japanese is too difficult)… so that’s some progress, right?
May the next 50 come about sooner and be less exhausting and strenuous at the same time. I’ll make sure to continue putting my heart into every release and aim for better quality with the next one.
More good news: It looks like Jump LJ Scans and KRA Scans will be handling this series as a joint project! I’m not sure WHEN you can expect the first releases but stay tuned for any updates~!!

Michinoke: Hey there, little newcomer… // how much longer you’re gonna sit there!? HUH!? // It’s been what? 5 seconds already since you fell on that sorry behind of yours!? You haven’t even moved a single inch... Employee: You can’t just slash your whip at people, Michi-san… plus, Kikuchi has joined just the other day… Michinoke: I don’t care if it’s people or turd! They say pain is the shortcut towards success!! “The whip of love”*… / you never heard that expression!? // Huh!? You don’t know it!? Well then… [TN: “The whip of love” – ai no muchi (jap. 愛のムチ) is a real idiomatic expression in Japanese, so nothing Michinoke made up. It actually means being strict towards those you love, i.e. you are strict with them because you care about them (and hope to see them really better themselves).] Kikuchi (in picture): This circus I joined… Michinoke: I’ll teach you right now!
Page 2 Michinoke: Don’t know it!? I’m gonna make you understand!! Faster than you could pick up any dictionary!! Employee: ……I get it. Michinoke: Y’see, that’s the shortcut!! Kikuchi (in picture): is absolutely insane!

Page 4 Hana: Make that bear… // your friend!? Shiina: Yupp. / I’m gonna invite him to become a member of Oumagadoki. Hana: Apart from that… get down, right this moment! <so heavy!> <sfx: *shake, shake*> Name box: Fu – ku – mo – to | Fukumoto | Snowy Owl (Female) [TN: As always, there’s a reason to an animal’s name; Fukumoto is an owl, fukurou in Japanese.] Fukumoto: So am I seeing this right… you’re trying to lure this bear away from that circus place? Oogami: Oh, just like a talent scout~ Fukumoto: But you know… maybe this is just me being silly…
Page 5 Fukumoto: But isn’t that kinda like what // the aquarium did? Igarashi: You can’t refrain to kidnapping and the likes, director!! I still cannot shake the images way! That-, that despair and plain fear when I was stuck under that armpit…!! Hana: Ow!! <sfx: *boing*> Shiina: Not gonna do any o’that! <sfx *thump*> Shiina: I just wanna try talking to him. If he’s an interesting fella I’ll invite him! // That’s what I always did, right!?
Page 6 Fukumoto: You mean on base of a mutual agreement, right? Shiina: What good is it if there’s no such thing! <sfx: *clap, clap*> Igarashi: If that’s how it is… Fukumoto (in picture): Quite relieving, right? Uwabami: Back when I was brought over here it’s been the same for me~ Makes me think back of those times~~… I can’t believe it’s been this long ago already… Kisazou: Me, too! Me, too! And meeting new friends is always nice~! Right? It’s fun for everyone!! Hana: Wait a minute, guys!! // I’m sorry to break the mood… // but it’s impossible!! / As far as circus animals are concerned… they’re each trained individually. / And they’re irreplaceable and highly valuable cornerstones for the circus, you know!? // They won’t cede you one of their members just like that, simply because you’re asking them to!! <sfx: *silence*> Hana: Huh…… I-I’m telling you…
Page 7 Hana: Let- Let’s think straight about this for a second, there is absolutely no reciprocal benefit whatsoever… // Now continuing these thoughts, what are our common grounds to begin with, really. Rather than simply requesting “Hand over that bear!” we should aim for constructive negotiations. The ideal would be a model where management and administration of both sides try to help each other… // Oh…… but if some part-time high school student were to burst in there all of a sudden and request such a… Shiina: YOU TALK TOO MUCH! <sfx: *slap*> Shiina: EAR LOCK! // Hey Missy, I don’t understand any of that talk!! I’ll completely leave that to you! Hana: Please try using these ears for listening, too… Shiina: All I care for is to make that bear my comrade // and assign him show instructor for the beasts! Hana (in picture): “constructive negotiations”… what the hell was I saying there!? / The director can’t be counted on! Which means, me all alone…? / He can’t just force this stuff on me!?
Page 8 Hana (in picture): How did I end up in yet another piiiinch!? Uwabami: Director, Hana-chan // might it be alright for me… // to accompany you to the circus? Hana: Huh…!? // Huuuh--!!? Uwabami-san, why!? That’s no good! They’ll notice you’re a snake! Uwabami: Since it’s planned for us animals to star in a show, wouldn’t it be smarter for me to come along and learn about it firsthand? / Plus,
Page 9 Uwabami: You’re always trying so hard for our sake, Hana-chan; giving everything you got. // So occasionally we have to show some efforts, too. // And look, Hana-chan. See this!? / If I hide the little ones on my head you can’t even tell I’m no human! Right!? Right, director? This should work!? Shiina: …alright! Hana: Whaaa~ usually you’d absolutely forbid these kinds of things. Shiina: Relax! After that incident the other day / I had been puzzling out a proper plan! Hana: …a plan? Shiina: When Uwabami comes along // it should be a good idea / to let the future stars of our show take a peek as well. It’s not like you get a chance to see the circus every day.
Page 10 Hana: Future… stars? Shiina: Kisazou!! You’re coming with us! Kisazou: Wha!? Really~!? Hana: Whaaa~~t!? Shiina: A’ight. Next, every circus needs a~… Shishido: Huh? // A sarkus? [TN: He does not seem to know the word.] Shiina: Yes! The circus is all about lions! / They go hand in hand! So come! Hana: Shishido-kun’s out of question!! Hana (in picture): Way too dangerous!
Page 11 Shishido: Don’t wanna, idiot! // I got no interest in that kinda shit. And I’m mad busy anyways! Shiina: A~lright! Circus Scout Squad: Complete~ Shishido: Let go offa me, bastard! Hana: You say you’re busy… what do you mean by that? <sfx: *drag along*> Shishido: Training!! // I need to get stronger! // Be it against the gorilla, that fish / or this idiot right here // I’ll get strong enough to trash all of them in an instant! // And then I’ll become the boss of this park’s pride! [TN: Pride is the correct term for a group of lions.]
Page 12 Shishido: Ga~hahaha / hahaha let go off me! Hana (in picture): Is he serious--!? Hana: This can’t end well…… In picture: The Following Day – Day of the Circus’ Public Performance Sign: Yatsudoki Circus <sfx: *mumble, mumble*> Box: 30 Minutes before show time Employee: Kikuchii~ your first performance is finally here~! // Don’t tense up! Kikuchi: Yes… I’m sorry… Employee: You’re alright? Oh, is this about the bruise you got yesterday? Kikuchi: Nah… I’m just sorry… because of my fault…
Page 13 Kikuchi: You also got hurt, Suzuki-san… Box: Animal Trainer // Suzuki Suzuki: There’s nothing you need to apologize about. / The director’s the one at fault here! Kikuchi: What if he were to hear you!? Suzuki: Don’t worry. He’s somewhere backstage for the mic check. Michinoke (in picture): Aah // Ahh Suzuki: … back in the days / Michi-san didn’t use to be that way either… // But ever since that one day…… Kikuchi: Huh!? Suzuki: ……shit, no good. Need to concentrate! Concentrate!! / Kikuchi, I’ll be relying on you as my assistant!! Kikuchi: Wha-… ah, yes! <sfx: *bee~~p> <sfx: *kacha*>

Page 15 Michinoke: A world of dazzling amazement! // The things that are about to happen // are absolutely breathtaking! / So please make sure you will not die on us~! // Without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, it’s show time!
Page 16 Hana: Phew~~ just in time… // Thank god they still had same-day tickets… / Let’s see, K-20… <sfx: *Waaahhhh*> Shiina: But it already started, dammit!! <sfx: *step, step*> Kisazou: This “popcorn” thingies are so yummy! Right!? You hear!? Hana: It’s all cause you had to get some carrots from the supermarket, director!! Uwabami: I’ll just go sit next to the director!! <sfx: *ta-dah~*> Guy in audience: Can’t see a thing… Hana (thinking): Silly me! Why did I believe the director had an actual “plan”! / They even managed to boost their fishiness… <everybody can see us just fine> // There’s a cursed person amongst this circus troupe…
Page 17 Michinoke: Phew~… from this point onward it’s the same as always. Bear: Michinoke-san! Michinoke: Hm? Bear: It stinks… // There’s a stench… Michinoke: Huuuh!? On me!?// Da hell, you idiot! <sfx: *psshh, psshh* [spray can]> Bear: No, that’s not it… // It’s none of the troupe members either… this is… // the stench of beasts!

Page 19 Shiina: DA BO~MB!!! Kisazou: Yeah! It was amazing! Humans are absolutely amazing! Right? Right!? Shiina: Kisazou, back at the zoo you’ll also learn to toss hoops! Uwabami: And it’s not like any of the parts during the show had been particularly dubious in any way… // Same applies to the visitors… Kids (in picture): So much fun~ // It was a bit scary~ Uwabami: And all the showmen were normal humans as well. / I wonder if there really is a person around that received the curse…? // If Ushimitsudoki had been the same we might have never found out about it! Shiina: Shisihdo!! How’s it!? Learned something today!? Shishido: Shaddup! Like hell it was! / If there’d been a fight to the death of, let’s say, man vs. tiger things woulda been different! Hana (thinking): Kikuchi-kun sure was amazing! Of course he’s still a bit stiff and clumsy but to perform in front of such a big crowd… // And he just joined them! That’s really something…!! Hana Uwabami-san? Uwabami: Yes? Hana: Would you mind keeping an eye on everybody while I take a short leave? < Shishido-kun and the director in particular!>

Had a lot of difficult Japanese bits and bobs in it, so it took me a while longer to work myself through the chapter. But I think I managed to figure everything out just fine in the end.
On the upside: We finally get a more concrete image of the "Eureka" concept. That helps me a lot in translating the series as I don't have be as vague about certain passages. - Though I'm pretty sure this should eventually lead to one or two mistakes in my earlier scripts. (I will check back later and revise them eventually, but the better part of SL's floating around the web will still contain them anyway, so yeah...)

Page 18 Introductory box: Director of the Yatsudoki Circus // Michinoke [TN: Okay, two things: 1.) Michinoke’s name is a wordplay on the Japanese word for “clown”. It’s a bit hard to explain if you don’t know any Japanese, so let’s leave it at that. And 2.) Yatsudoki is, of course, again taken from the old Japanese system of time. It literally means “Eighth Hour” but corresponds to approx. 2 a.m.]

Author’s column:
Thank you very much for picking up the second volume of “Oumagadoki Doubutsuen”.
Since we often heard “That series’ name is so hard to remember…”, my editor – with the support of the JUMP magazine – established the abbreviation “Oumaga”. Even though I thought that it sure is a nice abbreviation I always kept referring to the series as “Oumagadoki”, “Doubutsuen” or “the manga” when talking about it. For some reason I must have been too shy to say it.
So without further ado, Oumagado-…… O-, Oumaga Volume 2 starts right here! Phew~.
_____________________
Oogami
He’s somewhat of a good-willed big brother. But during Shishido’s big rampage he was the first to run away and seemed to be shaking quite badly in his boots. But nah, he was probably just running off in order to call for help, right? Hmm… Yeah, let’s just go with that.
Since at first glance, most of the zoo’s entourage looks like either like a bunch of normal monsters or strangely human-like I gave him the rather simple design of a wolf man. That’s because I wanted people to be able to see and understand this was a manga about transforming animals.
(An arrow points towards Uwabami who is chatting with Hana in the background: One of those strangely human-like fellows.)
_____________________
Takahiro
Because he can fly I kinda gave him this air force theme. The truth is, he actually isn’t a “hawk” (jap. taka). He’s an eagle; his species is called White-tailed sea-eagle. He’s got enough backbone not to care about the mistake the director made when naming him. It’s a relic from the one shot. But since he himself doesn’t really seem to mind it’s fine.
Igarashi
A gentleman. When I went to the Akihiyama Zoo to collect data for the series I was completely enchanted by the cuteness of the seals. If you look closely, you can see he had an appearance in chapter 1.
(The scene is a picture of Takahiro flying with Shiina on his back while holding Igarashi in his hands.) Oh yeah, I know this doesn’t really matter but the original concept for this picture was “A Stroll in the Sky”. Despite this, you can’t help but think of a predator and his prey, right?
_____________________
Sakamata
The Gangster of the Sea! Accordingly to this title he’s got the appearance of a real mobster. Boy, was he a huge fella! And THIS guy was the first visitor Hana ever got to greet…! Not your ideal customer. Since whales and dolphins would burn their skin if they’re out of water for a long period of time, he always carries around a plastic bottle of deep sea water. But where might he be hiding it? Maybe it’s somewhere attached to the back of his mantle, that’s what I would guess. But I can’t say for sure. Also, “Sakamata” is another name for orca. [TN: Just like you have orca and killer whale in English.]
_____________________
Fuka
A shark. It’s a shame he got trashed so fast but I really love sharks. Their shape is so cool and scary, they’re just wonderful. I really want to draw more of him~ Well, hindsight is just easier than foresight, I guess…
_____________________
Break
I still had some pages left. It’s the second volume. Now then, I have a wonderful thing to share with you. I got this sublime illustration as a present from Furudate Haruichi-sensei who had released “Kiben Gakuha, Yotsuya-senpai no kaidan.” in Shōnen JUMP. You can find it on Page 146 of this volume. When I received it I was so happy I couldn’t even move, thus I think it is okay for you guys to take a break and don’t move as well.

The director of the aquarium. A real unpleasant guy! Not only because he beat up my beloved shark (boo!), but also because it takes a lot of lines to draw him (double boo!), I find him to be a totally unpleasant guy!
That helmet he’s wearing is based on the headpiece of an old diver’s suit that was displayed in the Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium. When I was younger, that thing was creeping me out. – Well, still does today.
Oh, and he is 27 years old. Since I forgot to include the age of Hana and the Director last volume, I will just write them down here: Hana → 16 years Director → ? years
Please excuse that.

Dholak
A crab. That store* is really delicious, right? Since I didn’t really have time to work out any of the designs of the Aquarium’s entourage beforehand, I mostly drew them right off the bat as I was going through with the manuscript. Because I just started drawing without thinking things through, they turned out too complex. As a result, I made sure to send this guy to hell!
[TN: He is referring to the kani dōraku (Crab Dissipation/Joy Road) restaurant which is the origin of the character name.]
Tekka Maki
That girl was a little on the stupid side. In this manga it’s said that the top speed tunas can reach is 160 km/h but that just seems to be fake and bollocks, whereas in reality most think of about 80 km/h as a reasonable estimation. But the fast always dream of getting even faster, right? And who would know the truth better than a tuna itself…?
_____________________
Devil Fish
He’s a perv. The more I was researching special traits of the octopus the more I was surprised by their immense strength. Plus, when draw him I get the munchies for Takoyaki*. It comes completely natural…
[TN: Takoyaki = grilled octopus snack]
Ikkaku
Right from the beginning I had this concept of the Aquarium’s entourage as a bunch of “wild creatures”, so god knows why he alone turned out the way he did. It really makes you wonder…
Ikkaku: On the left you can find the staff pages. // We’re looking forward to your next visit.https://mangahelpers.com/t/mr-prince/releases/36353Translation: Oumagadoki Doubutsuen 262012-11-19T20:58:35+00:00Mr. Princeadmin@mangahelpers.comWhat day's today? - Oumaga Monday!

Hell yeah! <sfx: Gahahahaha> In panel: Breaking the curse… / For the director this happened to come about as something completely natural. // It’s just normal you would want to return to being human as fast as possible, just like the director of that aquarium… // Yet this guy, how in the world does he manage to stay this optimistic…!? Box: Just what kind of person has he turned into over the time…? Kisazou: But, um! But, um, I was about to trample that kid… Hana: Oh! // W-well, that’s nothing to be worried about, Kisazou-kun. In panel: He’s right, though… It was quite dangerous, that’s certainly not how you treat your visitors! [TN: This passage is a little wordplay. The expression that’s used is seikōhō (jap. 正攻法), which is literally “frontal attack” but it also means “doing good business”, “treating your customers fairly”, etc.]
Page 5 Uwabami: It is true, that certainly was not how you should treat your visitors. Isn’t that right…? Hana: Uwabami-san can read minds!? Gorilla kong: Not like I’d approve of it… // but that Mr. Whale from the aquarium sure knew how to run a business. Oogami: No doubt, their shows were fancy… Hana: Putting up shows in a zoo, that’s nothing unheard of. / It could become a real financial boost… Uwabami: With Hana-chan’s knowledge~ // And the director’s principle of obligatory fun~ // And as long as each one of us gives his best…
Page 6 Uwabami(?): there is not a single thing we cannot accomplish!! / This way, we are going to rise even further!!! Everybody: Yeeaaaa~~h!!! Shiina (in picture): What’s this about!? <sfx: Piriraring~> Hana: It’s a text from Noriko-chan… Cell display: Supplementary Lessons Tomorrow!! / Hana~~~! It seems like you haven’t showed up at your club even once, you OK? Thought I should remind you about tomorrow’s supplementary lessons, just in case~!
Page 7 Hana (in picture): School--!! // I totally forgot about that~~~!!! // That’s right, I’m still just a normal girl in high school! // I’ve become completely used to all this absurdity around here… But what am I supposed to do now-- // He even forced me to set up camp here, after all… but I really need to attend these supplementary lessons! Hana: U~m~~~ director…? It’s, um… could I… Shiina: Huh!? Hana: I’ve got supplementary lessons tomorrow… // so please let me leave for school, OK…? // Maybe… it would have been better…….. if I had not said… a single word… <sfx: *grumble, grumble*> Hana (in picture): Oh god, he looks really upset!! … like I thought, he’s…
Page 8 Shiina: Fine. Hana (in picture): Phew Hana: Just what I thought he’d… / SAY WHAAA~T!!? Shiina: I just came up with an amazing and fun idea. // Go, go as fast as you can. Hana: I-… is this really okay…… director? Really? Uwabami: I don’t quite know what this “school” is you mentioned but if it’s important, you better go~ Oogami: That’s right! Diary: And so, while (foolishly) trusting the puzzling words of the director… Hana: Really?
Page 9 Hana (in picture): I returned to my normal life again, // for the first time in several weeks Hana (in picture): They fixed the prawn! Hana (thinking): It’s unbelievable that this here and the zoo are both part of the same world…
Page 10 Promotional poster: Circus / Closed on Wed. & Thu. /It’s Big Entertainment: We have a clown and all sorts of cute animals, like a bear and a poodle! Hana (in picture): A circus…? // The circus… // That’s it--!! // If we use this as a theme and if everybody was to practice… Boy: Oh! Hey~…!! <sfx: *startle*> Hana: WAWAWAH!!!
Page 11 Kikuchi: You’re… / Aoi-san from the Class C, am I right…? // I’m sorry… // Ah, I mean, excuse me… [TN: Not sure how well this works in English, he generally pick a more formal expression to greet her or rather, excuse himself for “imposing” himself on Hana.] Hana: Huh… well, I am Aoi… but who are you? Hana (in picture): He really surprised me there. Oh, that uniform… so we’re from the same school… Kikuchi: Well… how to put this best… // I’m Kikuchi from Class A… Just now… you… // You were checking out that poster there, right? Please excuse me if you did not… Hana: Sure, I took a peek. Kikuchi: For real!? That’s nice! Um… Um, y’see… Hana (thinking): What a weirdo…
Page 12 Kikuchi: I heard you knew quite a lot about animal, Aoi-san… // Please excuse me if that’s not true… Hana: Huuh!? I do, but…!? Kikuchi: For real!? Um, y’see, there was something I wanted to ask you… Hana: Huh? <sfx: *vroo~m, vroo~m*> Kikuchi: Wha- shit! Let’s continue this at school…! Hana: Huh? What? What’s this all of a sudden? // AH!! Hana (in picture): The bus!! Bus: High School Bus / High School Bus
Page 13 Teacher: Aoi!! You’re late!!! // Sheesh, what were you up to!? Hana: I missed the bus… so I had to run here…… // I must have fallen down 26 times… I’m sorry… Teach: O…… Oh, I see… is that so… 26 times… sheesh… alright then… well, sit down… Pupils (thinking): She made Somie-sensei, the Devil speechless!! Aoi’s clumsiness is not to be sneezed at! Ikumi: Klutz girl, Flashback: Klutz girl! Hana: Hm?
Page 14 Ikumi: You hurt my eyes when you’re sitting close by while being this dirty // Maybe you can mind your appearances, even if it’s just a little? Hana: Th… Thanks, // Ikumi-chan… Noriko: Hey Hana, you’re alright!? 26 times, you said… <all sfx: *whisper*> Hana: Nope, can’t say I’m alright…… // Ah, but thanks for your text, Noriko-chan! Noriko: I already heard all those stories about how you completely ignored your club to focus solely on your part-time job. You need money that badly? Hana: Huh? No, that’s not i- / waahh!! Noriko: You pulled your chair too far behind… // But y’know,
Page 15 Noriko: There’s something about your face, Hana. It kinda looks different // compared to the time before the summer holiday! Hana: Eh!? Noriko: I’m not really sure how to put it… it’s just before you always had this insecure and uneasy look on your face… but now it’s gone. Hana: Y… you really think so? Noriko: Is it a boy!? You got a boyfriend!? Hana: What!? No! Stop it, that’s not it! Somie: Shut it over there, sheesh!! Hana: I’m so sorry! Somie: Y’all got it!? Your first half-year’s results were disgraceful!! Sheesh! // Be assured, those of you who won’t improve during this course will surely fail in the entrance exams as well!! That one moment counts for the past three years! Hana (in picture): The entrance exams… that stuff still seems completely unreal to me… ???: Aoi Hana
Page 16 Shiina: So this is your school!? <sfx: *slide*> Hana: Aaahhhh---!! Somie: What the… who are you!? Ikumi: That black man… Guy: Didn’t he just call Aoi!? …da hell’s this!? Shiina: What, me!? I am // Oumagadoki Zoo’s direc-…
Page 17 Hana: WAAHH---!!!! Shiina: Huuh!? <sfx: *thump*> Guy: What the---!? Aoi just tackled that guy!!? Guy2: And off they are……. <sfx: *pop up*> Hana: Excuse me for a minute… Somie: Wha-, wait a-… hey, Aoi!! Hana: WHAT // ARE YOU DOING // HEEEAARR!!? [TN: No typo, she’s too upset to finish the sentence properly.] Shiina: Never knew you had this killer move / The Aoi Hana Tackle, how fearsome!
Page 18 Hana: Why would you come to my school!!? Shiina: Hmm~~ it sounded like fun so I followed you! Hana: Huh? Hana (in picture): Is this… what he meant by “amazing and fun idea” back then!? // This is not good! If it came out I brought along a trespasser to school… Shiina: Hmm, hmm Somie: Theeere you are, Aoiii!! And that suspicious person!! <sfx: *startle*> Somie: Mizoguchi-sensei!! That’s him, that’s the suspicious man!! Mizoguchi: Banishment… for thee [TN: Yes, apparently this dude speaks archaicly and strange…] Somie: You will come back this minute! Hana (thinking): Ughhh--, it’s that creepy gym teacher!! And all my classmates as well!! Someone: Huuuh…
Page 19 Hana: Director! How about a game of catch? Shiina: Huh? Hana (thinking): I have to get him out of here ASAP! Doesn’t matter where he goes!! Hana: If you manage to escape you win!! How about it!? Shiina: Oohhh! Sounds fun! Mizoguchi: This teacher // shall // banish thee!! Shiina: Woah!! // Hahaha, you can’t catch me!!
Page 20 Hana (thinking): Director, run away! Fast!! <sfx: *turn around*> Shiina: C’mon, catch me if you can! Hana: Director…… // YOUR HAAAATTT!!!

Hey, Aoi, do you know this person!? // How should we go on about this!? Hana (thinking): Oh boy—can’t get any worse… Box: Lunch break Hana: Hah / Hah Hana (thinking): I might have managed to trick them into believing it was a relative of mine who pulled a huge prank on me… // But I need to fix this now, before anything worse is about to happen! // Once I find him I’ll make him head home to the zoo! Hana: Where has that damned rabbit gone off to~~!? Kikuchi: Oh, hey there… <sfx: *turn around*> Hana: What now!?
Page 22 Kikuchi: Oh… excuse me… // about this morning… Hana: What is it? I’m in a bit of a hurry right now, you know… <sfx: *hoh, hoh, hoh*> Kikuchi: Ohh!! I’m truly sorry! // I’m sorry… excuse me for my rudeness but may I ask you something…? It’s about the poster you looked at this morning… Hana: Ah, the one from the circus! Kikuchi: I’m one of their members. <sfx: *freeze*> Hana: Whaaa~~!!? I never heard about that! Who would have thought!!! <sfx: *Whaa~*> Kikuchi: I don’t talk much about it, I’m sorry!

I clearly said I do NOT want to start a new project just yet. Damn you, Tabata Yuuki! Damn you, HUNGRY JOKER! Damn you, Mr. Prince! I still don't plan to cover this project forever. But I'll just stick to it as long as it's fun and I feel like doing the job. (Or someone better than me takes over.)
Alright, since last chapter didn't work out [AT ALL!] how I wanted it to be, I will have to change the rules a little bit.

HUNGRY JOKER Tabata Yuuki
case.2 – The Person Appearing from the Unknown
Page 2 Side text: The dramatic aftermath!!
Box: Hello everyone, // this is Toriiooji Chitose. // The other day, the research institute I’ve been working at // was demolished to the ground. <sfx: *wheeee~~ze* [wind blowing]> In picture: When we were investigating a mysterious “glowing corpse”, the cause of which is still unknown,… // said dead body transformed into a terrible monster and wrecked the place. –that’s about the story… Chitose (in picture): Uugghh~~~ Chitose (thinking): There’s no way anybody would believe that… // And while it should be dead, that monster somehow disappeared into thin air for all I know…… Chitose (in picture): Uuuughh~~~
Page 3 Chitose (thinking): Ah, that’s it. // This has all just been a dream! // Right, right~! That’s it! <sfx: *clatter* [door opening]> Chitose (in picture): *sigh~* Citose (thinking): As if the doctor really had achieved some miraculous power and fought that monster… Haiji: Hm, // you managed to find the missing mutant body, Takeda? Chitose: …no. Chitose (in picture): So in the end it was no dream. <sfx: *floa~~t*>
Page 4 Haiji: I want to find out the maximum weight an object can have for these powers to still work! / So Takeda, bring me objects of 100kg, 1t and 10t weight! Chitose: Absolutely impossible! // And I told you countless times before: my name is Toriiooji--… // Huh? <sfx: *fl…*> <sfx: *float~*> Chitose: Kyaa~~~!! Haiji: Hmph, / they appear to be working on other people just as fine~ Chitose: P- p- please stop it, doctooo~r!! // I- I- I’m reaaa~lly afraid of heights! <sfx: *spin, spin*, *turn, turn*> Haiji: I don’t really see how anybody would call this “high”, but… Haiji (in picture): Why are you spinning around?
Page 5 Haiji: Okay. Chitose: Ouch~ Chitose (thinking): …sooner or later I’m going to lose my memory as well…… <sfx: *paaiii~~n*> Haiji: Hm, // --so I can go for about 5 minutes on a single bite? <sfx: *stomp*> <sfx: *patch* [catching noise]*> Haiji: An apple that grants universal gravitation, // …that is the power to manipulate gravity, to the person who is capable of tasting it. // I wonder if I got it in my hands because I’m its adaptor…? // But what’s this apple’s story to begin with…? / I just don’t know. Box: The doctor has no memory of any past events earlier than 6 years ago. // It appears that a mysterious “black apple” and “glowing corpses” // are trails of some sort to the doctor’s memory. Haiji: The “glowing corpse” monster from the other day… Old woman: This is an act of the gods-- Haiji: is more than likely a thing born from powers similar to the kinds of this apple.
Page 6 Haiji: If the one to wield those powers is that so-called “God” character, / there’s a chance he might also know something about this apple……! Chitose: …but how do you plan to seek that person out--…? Chitose (thinking): And if possible I’d rather not want to meet him… Chitose: I mean now that this sponsor of yours who’d arranged for this hospital room // also stopped answering your calls for some reason…? Haiji: Well, that one doesn’t really matter. / I can just find another sponsor. Chitose (in picture): What kinda boy are you!? Chitose: …by the way, doctor… / what are you manufacturing there? Chitose (in picture): I have misgivings about this… Haiji: This will be a little gift. Haiji (in picture): Hahahahaha <sfx: *clatter, clang* [putter around]>
Page 7 <sfx: *clack, clack* x3 [typing]> <sfx: *zzzzz~ zzzzz~*> <sfx: *creak*> <sfx: *CLATTER* [door]> Nurse: Now there! // What might you be doing at this time of the night again--!? <sfx: *startle* [wake with a start]> Chitose: Yes, here! I’m sorry. // Oh, Miss Nurse. / Ah-! What!? It’s 2 am!? [TN: Not sure how you’d usually address a nurse in English. There’s no name given here and in Japanese it’s perfectly normal to refer to someone with “job + -san”] Nurse: Oh my, you’re also here, Chitose-chan. // Haiji-kun! // I told you not to conduct any of those incomprehensible experiments in a hospital room, now haven’t I!? Haiji: You mean just like I’ve been telling you countless times before / to simply ignore this room altogether? Who are you to talk? Haiji (in picture): Phew~~
Page 8 Nurse: Fufu~ / That’s not gonna happen~ // I have a younger brother the same age as you, so there’s no way I can leave you alone! Haiji: ……? What kind of reasoning is that? I don’t get it. Chitose (thinking): She’s a good nurse! Haiji: Is this about… devotion? // That’s an emotion I just don’t understand… Chitose: Doctor…
Page 9 Haiji: I rather just act thinking about myself only. Haiji (in picture): Hahahahahahaha Nurse: Things must be pretty tough for you, too, Chitose-chan… Chitose: Yeah. <sfx: *light up*> <sfx: *groan, groan*, *groan, groan* [zombies groaning]> Masked guy (in picture): *giggle, giggle* <sfx: *flicker*>
Page 10 Nurse: Oh my~ // you haven’t touched any of the fruit from your get well gift basket! / Want me to peel something for you? Haiji: No, thanks. I don’t need any of that stuff right now. Nurse: You know that’s not true~ // Truth is you simply don’t like fruit, right? // Well, / then how about you hand that black apple of yours // over to me!? Chitose: Huh? <sfx: *creak, creak, creak*>
Page 11 <sfx: *creak*> Chitose: …thi-… this can’t… / this can’t be true…..!? She… // …j-just a moment ago…… // she was perfectly normal……! <sfx: *kooohhhh* [monster growling]> Haiji: The forced cell mutations are not limited to dead bodies // but can occur in living beings as well-- <sfx: *move quickly*>
Page 12 Haiji: As it is happening right before my eyes // I’ve got no choice but to acknowledge this a fact. <sfx: *crackle* [noise of biting a firm apple]> <sfx: *whooo~sh* [floating]> Haiji (flashback): Let’s conduct an experiment…! Chitose: …Doctor…!? Chitose (in picture): …don’t tell me he---… <sfx: *clatter, rattle*> <sfx: *whoosh*>
Page 13 <sfx: *thump, thump*> Chitose: Huh? <sfx: *squee~ze*> <sfx: *stretch* [vein]> Haiji: Hm, // looks like human anesthetics no longer work on her. [TN: Thanks to Imperium for helping me out with the English technical term here!] Chitose: KYAAAAA <sfx: *squeeeaa~~~l*> Haiji: We better run away for now, Takeda! Chitose: Yes pleeeaaa~~~se! <sfx: *squeeeaaa~l*> <sfx: *float*> <sfx: *whoosh* [swift movement]> <sfx: *OOOHHHHH* [growling of monsters]*>
Page 14 <sfx: *OOOOHHHHH*> Chitose: What… in the world…… is THIS--!?... // …don’t tell me…all of them…… / had originally…… been humans--…!?
Page 15 <sfx: *shiver, shiver*> Chitose: Until just recently I had been living a perfectly normal life…… // …but then how come… // that all of a sudden, right before my eyes--… Haiji: --hmph,… // you’re absolutely right… // It’s god! This is his way of asking me to meet him! // Lucky me~ <sfx :*whoosh*> Chitose: Hng!? // NOOOO <sfx: *OOOHHHHH*>
Page 16 Haiji: *murmur* At the very least I know this hospital must be in his field of vision…… // *murmur* There’s also the possibility he might be inside the hospital--… // …hm? <sfx: *OOOOHHHH*> Chitose: DOCTOO~~~R!! <sfx: *growl*> <sfx: *GRROOOAA*> Chitose: KYAAAAAAA <sfx: *thump*> Haiji: Like I’ll let you waste my time! Chitose: Even if you say that~~ / It’s not like I can do anything on my own whatsoever~~~
Page 17 <sfx: *Bam*> Haiji: That was quite a thrilling pursuit~! Haiji (in picture): Hahahahaha <sfx: *stop*> Chitose: Kyaaa~~~ <sfx: *scree~~ch*> Haiji: Hm. <sfx: *tap*> <sfx: *patch*> Haiji: So five minutes have already passed? Chitose (in picture): Oouu~ch! Haiji: I wonder if taking more than one bite at a time… // as well as a continuous intake are accompanied by any kind of risk---…? <sfx: *WHOOSH*>
Page 18 <sfx: *swi~~sh* [wings flapping]> <sfx: *squeeaaa~k*> Chitose: The apple--… Masked guy: I wanted to examine you… // as I thought it just might be possible… <sfx: *giggle, giggle, giggle*> <sfx: *whooo~sh*> Masked guy: But as proven by this trial, // it’s just like I had expected: you’re but a mere human~! <sfx: *rustle* [again: wings flapping]>
Page 19 Masked guy: Which means you’re not the sibling // that is supposed to possess this apple--! [TN: I tried to stick as closely to the original phrasing as possible as this is currently still a vague line. He’s most likely referring to the “Eurekas” from chapter 1. Since we don’t know if there are just male Eureka I put in the more neutral “sibling” rather than “brother”.] <sfx: *crunch*> Haiji: Oh, he was quite a bit farther away than I expected~ <sfx: *slide*> Chitose: The apple was stolen… what are we supposed to dooo~ now!? <sfx: *crunch*> Chitose: What’s this sound--…? <sfx: *crunch, slide, grit*>
Page 20 <sfx: *slide, crunch, screech*> Chitose: …… this… can’t be--… <sfx: *break*> Chitose: KYAAAAHHHH <sfx: *WHHHOOOOOSH*> Haiji: Hmph, // roughly 40m in width and 55m in height, as for the depth--- Chitose: Is this the right time for evaluations~~~~!? Haiji: Certainly true, at this rate things will get pretty ugly. <sfx: *WHOOSH*>
Page 22–23 <sfx: *OOOOHHHHH*> Haiji: …I wanted to know the maximum weight an object can have for my powers to still work… // Seems like a roughly 10-storied skyscraper is within my limits. <sfx: *seep* [blood from the corner of the mouth]> Haiji: …Furthermore… // it appears the continuous intake affects the body to a great extent. <hahaha> Chiose: Kyaaaa <sfx: *flooaa~t*> <sfx: *pat*> <sfx: *OOOHHHH*>
Page 24 <sfx: *OOOHHHHHH*> Haiji: I’m just so happy you decided to accept my little present. <sfx: *click*> <sfx: *bee-beep*>
Page 25 <sfx: *BOOOOOM*> Haiji: It’s a fake apple that contains a small-scale bomb attached with a remote ignition device--- <sfx: *OOHHH*> Haiji: I went through several phases of trial and error making it, all just for you… // so I hope you enjoyed it? // ---now then, there are lots of things I’d like you to tell me about,…… // dear God!
Caption: A violent clash!!
End line: Next issue – The huge clash in 23 increased pages…!!https://mangahelpers.com/t/mr-prince/releases/36269Translation: Hungry Joker 12012-11-10T02:37:19+00:00Mr. Princeadmin@mangahelpers.comNow look who we have here...! After taking a break from translating (in order to concentrate on my studies) I'm finally back in the game. - Sure feels good!
So this is the newest series from Shueisha's Weekly Shounen JUMP. The name is HUNGRY JOKER and the artist is Tabata Yuuki. This series had been an entry (and the eventual winning title) of 2011's Gold Future Cup. Back then I really, REALLY enjoyed the One Shot and while I didn't find the actual series to be quite as good, I thought it might be a nice start to get back in the TL bizz! This one generally goes out to all fellow regulars from MH's Weekly Shounen JUMP TOC Thread and all HJ Fans who had been anticipating its serialization!
I tend to forget what never-ending ordeals first chapters can be... this one had been especially nasty with its vast amount of SFX. – Thus my script eventually turned out 10 pages long in Word! I already said this before but I can't stress it enough: I absolutely DON'T plan to take this manga over as a continuing project. I currently can't afford to work on a weekly series!
Rules for Scanlators:
This script is generally free for use. – But please let me know if you use it!
Don't forget to credit me!
No changes to the script without consulting me first!
That being said, I'm no native speaker. Thorough proofreading is advised before using it in your SL!
PS: To those wondering: Yes, I will be finishing Oumaga! Sorry for the long wait, guys. But I'll see this thing through until the very end! (Even already got some scripts done in the past two weeks) – Get ready to see more OD soon~!!

Haiji: I found it at last, Yamada! Haiji (in picture): Hahahahahahaha Chitose (thinking): Just what does he mean!? Chitose: Urgh!
Page 12 Cop 1: Who is that super awkward kid!? Chitose: Uuuurrrrggghhhh Haiji (in picture): Hahahahahahahahahaha Cop 2: Seems to be a… genius scientist or something like that. It’s an order from above to cooperate with him. Cop 1: I… see… // But what’s this case in the first place…!? // A glowing corpse… / Just how in the world’s that possible!? It’s--… Voice/old woman: God’s work--! // I saw him…!! / After illuminating this man’s corpse that godly figure had risen to the heavens and vanished--… Cop 3: Please calm down, Ma’am…! Old woman: This is an act of the gods!! Cop 1: …well, you can understand her feelings… Chitose: <Urgh> / That’s true… Haiji: We’ll return to the lab, Yamada! <sfx: *slap*> Chitose: Ouch! Cop 1: You figured anything out…!?
Page 13 Haiji: Not a single clue. Haiji (in picture): Hahahahahahaha Cop 1: Huh? <sfx: *startle*> Haiji: Which is why I’m gonna start // to ascertain things now <sfx: *beep*> <sfx: *tuuut tuuut* [phone dialing]> <sfx: *beep*> Old man: Ah~ Haiji-kun. // What’s the matter? Haiji: I wanted to request another contribution of research funds. // About 10 Million. [TN: 10 Million Yen are roughly 125.000 USD (as of Nov. 2012)] Chitose (in picture) 10 Million!? Haiji: Hmph, / Thank you very much, I’m indebted to you. <sfx: *beep*> Chitose (thinking): HUU~~~H!? <just like that!?>
Page 14 Haiji: Alright, you’ll be carrying the corpse back to the lab, Yamada! Chitose: HUH!? / A-a-absolutely out of the question! It’s gross! Haiji: No talking back, hurry up! / And I will also need your help with the autopsy. Chitose: HUH!? / You think about autopsying it? <sfx: *giggle*> Masked guy: I wonder if the scientist they called // knows anything about “Eureka”…? <sfx: *giggle, giggle*>
Page 15 Chitose: Forgive my sins… [TN: No idea if there’s any way to translate this better. It’s a typical Japanese set phrase which doesn’t really mean anything.] Chitose: Wha-!? / You started without folding your hands, doctor--… / You’re asking for divine punishment! <stop!> <sfx: *swift moving* [Haiji’s moves during autopsy]> Haiji: Hmph, how I see things, the probability of this happening is 0%! Chitose: That’s certainly true from a scientific standpoint, but still…… Haiji: <And still> I wonder if this body started glowing like that so he would be easier to spot and get rescued~!? Haiji (in picture): Hahahahaha Chitose: D-doctor! / How can you… such indiscretion--… Haiji (in picture): Shut up! Haiji: Don’t just move your mouth but your hands as well. Your hands~ <sfx: *splat*>
Page 16 Chitose: UURRRRRRGGHH! Haiji: Who told you to throw up!? Are you’re trying to stain this corpse with your vomit!? <sfx: *twitch, twitch* [lively moving]> Haiji: I’m gonna stuff your cakehole with glowing meat! Chitose: UURRRRGGHH! Haiji: How can you get sick with such a beautiful glowing right before your eyes? // I don’t understand. Chitose: Just how in the world have you been raised, doctor!? / This inquisitiveness of yours just can’t be normal……! Chitose (small balloon): Urgh Haiji: How should I know what it means to be “normal”? <sfx: *swift moving*> Chitose: True, you certainly are a great scientist… <what kind of child has he been?> // But your family must be worried, too--…? Chitose (thinking): Or maybe his family is just as eccentric…? Haiji: Hmph, / is that what a family usually does? Chitose: Huh…? // If my mother were to know that I’m doing something like an autopsy on a glowing corpse she’d most certainly faint right away… Haiji: Hmph, I see. / I didn’t know that. <sfx: *twitch, twitch*>
Page 17 Chitose: …umm--… / speaking of which… there is not a single thing I actually know about you, doctor…… Haiji: Hmph, / me neither. Chitose: Pardon me? Haiji: Six years ago, I called attention at a certain orphanage. // I don’t remember anything that happened before. Chitose: …what……are you saying……? // ……what about your family……? Haiji: Dunno. Chitose: What about your birthplace…? Haiji: Dunno. Chitose: And that name “Haiji”……!? Haiji: A given name that seemed fitting. Chitose (in picture): --… he must be kidding…!
Page 18 Haiji: I am… // a phenomenon no one has thorough understanding of… Chitose: …doctor… Haiji: Which is why all this time I’ve been searching // for any clues . Chitose: …what? // …what do you mean by that……!?
Page 19–20 No text.
Page 21 Haiji: The black apple / and numerous glowing corpses // they’re the one sole memory I have. Chitose: What are you-… that’s……! // …such a large quantity of glowing corpses……!? / Why would you’ve been at such a place when you were young, doctor……..!? Haiji: Hmph, / I don’t understand either.
Page 22 Chitose: I- / It must have been a dream! Absolutely! // If such a thing had happened in the past it would have been all over the news… Chitose in picture: Ahahahaha Chitose: And this apple here… if it was the same from back then // it would have rotten a long time ago! Chitose (in picture): Yuck~ stop it already~~ Chitose: And that bite mark you mentioned is also missing… <sfx: *move*> <sfx: *pochi* [button pressed]> <sfx: *wheeen* *dshoooo* [machine noises, whatever]> Chitose: What’s that noise…? <sfx: *peee~w* [lazer firing]> <sfx: *whoosh* [apple being hit]> <sfx: *sssshhhhhh* [fizzling]> <sfx *frizzle, frizzle* [Chitose’s burned hair]> <sfx: *flap, flap* [Chitose’s mouth]> Chitose: W-w-what was that all of a sudde~~~n!? Haiji: A lazer beam. <Can’t you tell from its looks!?> // Let’s leave that aside, take a look at the apple! Chitose: …huh…?
Page 23 <sfx: *wobble, wobble*> Chitose (in picture): … it’s recovering… // …to how it was…!? <sfx: *wobble, wobble*> Haiji: As you can see, this is no ordinary apple. // Now that you learned about the apple you should have no problems believing all the other stuff as well. <sfx: *twitch, twitch*> Haiji: And still we don’t understand a thing. // That is, because this apple’s paranormal matter cannot be explained by the current state of scientific knowledge…!! Chitose (in picture): So this thing is one of the trails of “his life”…… [TN: The original wording is “himself” but I decided to change it, since it doesn’t sound like anything in English.]
Page 24 Chitose (in picture): This guy… Haiji (in picture): Hahahahahaha Haiji: This corpse, just like with the apple, / I don’t understand it! Haiji (in picture): hahahahaha Chitose (in picture): just what in the world… Masked guy (in picture): *giggle, giggle* <sfx: *flicker*> <sfx: *glimmer*>
Page 25 Haiji: I plan on investigating that corpse carefully and thoroughly in the future. // I think it’s connected to that apple. <sfx: *creak*> Chitose: …and there’s nothing else that you managed to find out about that apple……? Haiji: It seems like that apple’s existence / dates back into distant past. <sfx: *rustle*> Haiji: While investigating various kinds of old documents / I noticed the apple is often worshipped as a divine fruit or as a gift by the gods. Chitose (in picture): …the gods……! Haiji: But! There was one exception that differs greatly from all the other reports-- // and that is the so-called “Newton’s Apple”. Chitose: Huh… // …when you say “Newton’s Apple”, you mean… Chitose (in picture): That incident when an apple eventually led Isaac Newton to come up with his “Law of Universal Gravitation”, right? // It is said he had a flash of genius when, by chance, he saw an apple falling from a tree in his garden--… Haiji (in picture): Hmph, Haiji: Wrong.
Page 26 <sfx: *twitch, twitch*, *creak, creak*> Haiji: According to my research // Newton achieved the knowledge of his “Law of Universal Gravitation” // by drinking the juice of this exact apple! <sfx: *creak, creak, creeaak*> Chitose: What does this--…
Page 27 Chitose: D-… / D-doctor……! Haiji: Hm?
Page 28 Haiji: Dear me. Chitose: GYAAAHHHHH <sfx: *VOOOOOO~* [monster howling]> <sfx: *BAM* [crashing]> Chitose: Wha- / wha- / what is THAAA~~~T!!? Haiji: Taking everything into account there’s no doubt it’s what had been our glowing corpse moments ago. // It appears that while we averted our gaze for a few moments, its cells resurged and in addition started mutating… // But this is wonderful~…! Chitose: IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Page 29 Chitose: …then… you mean to say when you eat that apple… you’ll become a glowing copse--… / And turn into a monster afterwards……!? Haiji: ---nah. // It appears that this time, the cause of that glowing corpse // seems to have been something else---…! // …how interesting…! <sfx: *craaaaash* [rampaging monster]> Chitose: This is not interesting at a~~~~ll!! // What… / Just what in the world is going on here!? This is insane! Why are we being attacked by a monster!? Chitose (in picture): Uwaaaahhh
Page 30 Haiji: Hmph, / I’m gonna call him James for the time being! Chitose: Like it matters if this thing has a name or not---!? Haiji: Why, but of course it matters, Yamada! This is a paranormal life-form we’re dealing with here! Chitose: My name is Toriioojiii~~!! <sfx: *OOOHHHHH* [growl]> <sfx: *twitch, twitch, twitch*> <sfx: *BAAAAA--* [monster attacking]> Chitose: Wha-
Page 32 <sfx: *OOOHHHH* [still howling]> Haiji: …hmph, // what an immense force… / That’s the most splendid explosion I’ve ever got to witness to this day! <hahaha> Chitose: Doctor…! [TN: There’s some little aside comment here, for which I can’t make out the first kanji. It seems like she agrees with him by stating how big that explosion was.] Chitose: What are you doing, talking all leisurely again…!? / Quick, run a-…
Page 33 Chitose: …doc… / tor…… Haiji: …hmph… // Run away… <sfx: *smear, smear*> [writing with blood] Haiji: I’m sorry but that’s impossible… Chitose: …hah… / Ah… <sfx: *OOHHH*>
Page 34 Chitose: …it’s just like I thought… // we shouldn’t have……! // These things that exceed our knowledge… science just imprudently stick its nose into them……! // …we should fear them… keep our distance… // cause that’s the sphere of the gods…..!! <sfx: *OOOHHHHHH*> Chitose: Mere humans like us… // are not supposed to set foot into that world……!! Haiji: What are you talking about…!?
Page 35 Haiji: Entering these uncharted waters with the glee // is what being a scientist means! // …speaking of which… // Yamada… hand me that apple… Chitose: …huh…? Chitose (in picture): …in this kind of situation… what does he plan to--… Chitose: Gyahh <sfx: *stumble*> <sfx: *thump* [Chitose falling down]>
Page 36 <sfx: *catch*> Haiji: Now then, let’s try to // force our way right next to the god’s (or whoever’s) side… Chitose: Huh? Haiji: By drinking the juice of this apple Newton achieved the knowledge of the “Law of Universal Gravitation” // But there is no way that nobody else had found this out… // The number of those who tried to eat it must’ve been numerous, but with the exception of Newton every single one of them had died. One is prone to believe that’s because he only drank its juice. // But why has it really been different with just Newton…!?
Page 37 Haiji (in picture): It’s because Newton had been chosen by the apple! He was its adaptor! // It seems like he had just once licked on it and did not try to eat it… Haiji: Now if the adaptor achieves the “knowledge” of universal gravitation from its juice… // I wonder… what he were to acquire from eating… said fruit……!? Chitose: …doc… / tor…? Haiji: In the end I still don’t know what it is // that characterizes one as an adaptor…… // But this is // as much as I can do for now. <sfx: *OOOOHHHHH*>
Page 38 Chitose: So the people who ate that apple… / have all died, right……? Haiji: …that’s highly probable… Chitose: …assuming one would not die from it… // what’s going to happen…..!? Haiji: …I don’t know… Chitose: Would it be possible to somehow… // turn into something inconceivable like that monster…!? Haiji: …I can’t tell…
Page 39 Haiji: which is what I’ll have to ascertain now…!! <sfx: *bite*> <sfx: *gulp*> <sfx: *thu-thump* [heart]> <sfx: *swish* [surgical mask pulled up]>
Page 40 Haiji (in picture): UUOOAARRGGHHHH Chitose: DOCTO~~~R <sfx: *VUOOO*>
Page 42 <sfx: *float*> Chitose: …what…? Chitose (in picture): … things are… // floating--…? Haiji: I see… // In this case not the “knowledge” of universal gravitation… // …but the “power itself” is bequeathed to the body---… <sfx: *VVUUUOOOOOOOO*>
Page 43–44 Haiji: …now then… // Let’s conduct an experiment…!!
Page 48 Haiji: Insufficient amount of force… I see. <sfx: *shake, shake*> <sfx: *VUUOOOOOO*> Chitose: Doctor--- Haiji: Okay, James // Here’s a question: // When the same amount of force // is applied to a much smaller surface… // …what’s going to happen? <sfx: *zu-…* [gravitational power]> <sfx: *crack, crunch*>
Page 49–50 <sfx: *THUMP*> Haiji: --THIS IS.
Page 51 <sfx: *splatter*> <sfx: *thump* [body falling to the ground]> <sfx: *float*> <sfx: *step* [landing]>
Page 52 Chitose: …-vived… we survived…!! <sfx: *wobble, wobble* [Chitose shaking]> <sfx: *pat* [hands falling to ground]> Chitose: I don’t understand a single thing that just happened… // but you beat him, doctooo~~~r!! Chitose (in picture): WAAHHHHH / I THOUGHT I’S GONNA DIE / WAAHHHH Chitose: IT’S OVEEE~~R <I just wanna get home--!!> <sfx: *slip* [surgical mask]> Haiji: …hmph. // Over? What are you talking about--… / this is but the beginning of the research! Chitose: Huh? Haiji: Just what have I evolved into by eating that apple…? I still don’t have a single clue. // And the same goes for the mutation of that glowing corpse into a monster……! // I don’t know if it’s god or whatever, but… <sfx: *giggle, giggle*>
Page 53 Haiji: hunting down that knowledge is the goal of my research! [TN: If you’re wondering about this line, Haiji literally says “that is the object of my research”, whereas “research” has the reading of “prey”.]
Page 54 Unknown man: So yet another “Eureka” // has awaken--…? // I’m looking forward to see // just how far you’ll reach, Haiji-kun…! <sfx: *fufufu…* [laugh]> In panel: A forbidden fruit // has been plucked---

Chapter 25 – Visitors have arrived! Horikoshi Kouhei
Insert text: The debut of zookeeper Hana, serving her first customers!!
Head line: ★ Discover the naked truth of one of Hana’s days with the Bangai-hen that is featured in JUMP NEXT!, on sale now!! [TN: In the Japanese version they chose the expression sekirara, which can either mean unvarnished or open-hearted on one hand or buck naked on the other.]
Mukio: See, Dad, this is the neighborhood where I saw a bunch of animals run around! // So this zoo lets its animals run off the leash! That’s just so cool!! Mukanai: Hmmm, yeah. Right. // And Ushimitsudoki decided to close down all of a sudden. I haven’t been having fun at all lately~ Telephone: Might it be possible for us to take off for a little while? Mukanai (in picture): Huh!? Mukanai: Oh! / Excuse me, Miss, but are you in charge? Hana: Eehh!?
Page 2 Mukanai: I’m the Director of Ushimi Constructions, Hanauwa! // And this is my son Mukio. // Here, our entrance fee. <sfx: *bow*> Hana (in picture): He’s… the director!? Huuu~~h? W- w- just what in the world am I supposed to do~~~!? Uwaahh!! <sfx: *super twitch-thump thump*> Hana: Th… Thanks a lot… // Welcome! Farewell! Please visit again! We’ll be awaiting your next visit! <sfx: *bow*> Mukanai: But we just arrived… // Hey, is this place run by a private administration or a municipal administration? Well, I guess either way is fine… Hana: Demonstration? Well, I can dance a little. Check it out!! * [*TN: Private administration (私営) and municipal administration (市営) are both pronounced “shiei”, which Hana mistook for “shee-eh!” (シェー), the trademark reaction of Iyami from Akatsuka Fujio’s manga Osomatsu-kun. This reaction became a popular trend in Japan and even got its own Wikipedia article: http://tinyurl.com/6yw8mol] <sfx: *pose*> Mukio (thinking): This big sis is… Mukanai: From the looks of it, this place doesn’t seem to be profiting… // Say… <sfx: *biii~g silence*>
Page 3 Mukanai: How about I become the sponsor of this place? Hana (in picture): What? Hana: Become the “Suppon Sir”? * [*TN: Another misunderstanding: Mukanai says “sponsor” (スポンサー, suponsā), which Hana mistook for a “Soft-shelled Chinese turtle” (スッポン, suppon).] Hana (thinking): Could you at least tell me your name…? Turtle: I’m just a common soft-shelled turtle. Mukanai: Do you know the Ushimitsudoki Aquarium? You know it, right? I granted it some of my money so it can put up some nice publicity for my business. // The other day they told me that they were taking a holiday, without even getting in touch with me beforehand, I was furious! Also, the shows and the overall quality dropped, you know. But, oh well, the director there has always been a funny one. Hana (in picture): Ushimitsudoki…!! Does this mean that… he might’ve been there on that day!? Mukio: Big sis!
Page 4 Mukio: It’s you from the other day… // You’re the one who rushed through the forest with all the animals back then, right!!? <sfx: *thump, thump*> <sfx: *SHOCKED*> Hana (in picture): HE SAW UUU~~~S!? <sfx: *rumble, rumble*> Hana: Oh no!! How can he…I mean… Huuh!? What’s that all about? I really don’t know what you mean! <sfx: *turn around*> Mukio: Haha, I can totally see through that!! So it was her after all, Dad! // To think this zoo was such a place, where animals could play around like that…
Page 5 Mukanai: That’s exactly why we’re here……// My son was talking about nothing else lately. / And when I heard his story I thought it sounded like a promising and prospective concept, which is why I was asking to be your sponsor! // But before we can continue about that topic // I want to see it in action! Hana (in picture): Promising!? Prospective!? Sponsor!? What…!? In other words… a way to make money!? // I don’t quite understand but it sounds like… A GREAT OPPURTUNITY!! <sfx: *RUMBLE, RUMBLE*> Hana: DIRECTOOO~~~R!!!! <sfx: *excited*> Hana (in picture): Wait a…!! / No good! If that person were to show himself / he’s going to ruin everything, no doubt about it!! Shiina: Huh!?
Page 6 Hana (in picture): The fact he’s considerate of his friends is fine and all, but when it comes to running the park he hasn’t changed in the least! // Plus, I can’t make him transform the reliable Uwabami-san and Oogami-kun! Shiina: *has nothing to do with it* Mukanai: Say what? The director will also join us? Hana: No! Unfortunately, the director is… absent today. // And because of that, today, your guide will be / me!! // I will guide you through the Oumagadoki Zoo! <sfx: Ta-daa~~> Mukio: Yaaa~y, let’s not waste any time! Let’s go! / Let’s zoo around! [TN: Lame word play, Mukio literally says “Let’s Doubutsuen” (= let’s zoo), while this doesn’t make much sense in English, it’s working in Japanese. (Kinda like attaching –ing to certain nouns to create corresponding verbs.)] Hana (thinking): Me and my big mouth… <sfx: *heart racing* *shaking nervously*> Hana (in picture): I will make sure they enjoy themselves!! // Even if I have to manage all by myself!!
Page 7 <sfx: *cough*> Hana: U~~m, first one, is our Gorikon-ku… I mean, gorilla! Mukanai: This cage is quite intricate, I must say. All the other ones are kinda run-down though… Mukio: Is that the same gorilla I saw in the forest!? Oh wow, it’s sleeping! Hana: Even though gorillas are thought to be rowdy and rough animals, they are actually very sensitive… Mukio: Wooo~~w, gorilla, gorilla!! Wake up and rampage, c’mo~~n!! <sfx: Yay~, yay~> <sfx: *ears twitching*> <sfx: *splash*>
Bottom line: Jump Comics’ newest Volume 2 is on sale and is quite popular!! It’s stuffed with some top secret sketches of the Aquarium!!
Page 8 <sfx: bad mood…> Hana (in picture): He flung his crap!? / That’s right… when he’s not transformed he’s just a normal animal…! If his sleep is disturbed he’ll be in a bad temper. Mukanai: Show us… the next one please. <sfx: *rumble*> Mukio: Dad… Hana (in picture): This is bad! / I have to make up for that! Hana: Alright!! Next up, is the star of our zoo, the lion!! Hana (in picture): Shishido-kun is rampaging all the time, so he’s sure to blow them off their socks!! // I’m begging you, king of the beasts!!
Page 9 Mukio: He’s also sleeping~~ Hana (thinking): Shishido-kun---!! Plate: Lion | Shut yer traps!! Hana: Ahaha e… excuse this young cub. / He’s usually clamoring 24/7… <sfx: *gesticulating wildly*> Hana (in picture): I forgot that a normal male lion does nothing but sleep!! <sfx: *silence*> Mukanai: Don’t you have anything a little flashier than… this? Mukio: Yeah… Hana: Then, um… aahh! Then, next up, our gem: the elephant! Hana (in picture): What am I supposed to do!? This is our long awaited, once in a lifetime chance… and just what am I doing!? // The elephant!! The tall and big elephant!! / They’re sure to enjoy themselves!!
Page 10 Hana (in picture): AAAHHH~~~~!!!!!! <sfx: *KICK*> <sfx: yay~, yay~> Mukanai: What’s wrong? What about the elephant? Hana: I made a mistake! It’s the other side, that way, that way!! <sfx: *turn around*> Hana (in picture): What the hell do you think you’re doing!? The park is still open, rabbii~~t!! Hana: How about you sit down here for a minute and have a nice chat…? Mukanai & Mukio: Huh? <sfx: *race*>
Page 11 Hana: Director!! // Just what in the world do you think you’re doing!!? Tag: Inside the elephant house Hana: Wasn’t it no transformations while the park is open!? Shiina: Nah, I still haven’t played enough yet, you know? // And why are you so upset with me? I’mma get right back at ya! Hana: WE HAVE // CUSTOMERS!!! <sfx: *information processed*> Hana: Waahh, I spilled the beans! Shiina: Customers, you say!? <sfx: *swish*> <sfx: *stuff*>
Page 12 Shiina: It’s finally here! / Our long awaited stepping stone towards becoming the world’s most popular place! Tag: Customer Service Mode Shiina: Why didn’t you tell me sooner, Aoi Hana!? Hana: Because… YOU are one of the main causes of my anxiety, director… Shiina: Up until now, whenever any customers arrived / they immediately leave! The longest anybody stayed was like 10 minutes // and that’s today’s customers! Hana: Waiii—t! I want to help some way or other!! <sfx: *drag*> Kisazou: What? What was that, Hana-chan? Customers!? There are some customers!? // Oh wow, it’s been quite some time! Shiina: Alright, Kisazou, transform back! We’ll continue playing later on! <sfx: *poof*> Hana (in picture): This is baaa~d! They’re no ordinary customers! It might be a great opportunity for this park to receive financial aid! Shiina: Gahahaha
Page 13 Mukio: Haah~ / The big sis sure is late, right, Dad? Mukanai: What is she thinking!? Making customers wait… Mukio: It’s kinda different from what I expected it to be… // The other animals too, they’re all just about as interesting as normal animals… // I expected them all to burn with excitement just like when I saw them in the forest… Shiina: Yo, customers!! <sfx: *straight forwardly*> Mukio: … …? You are…? Mukanai: Pffft… when it comes to strange appearances he is on par with the aquarium’s director! This is so funny!! <sfx: *snort*> Hana: This is the director… <sfx: *beat up*> Mukanai: What happened to you!?
Page 14 Mukanai: Even if you show up personally after such a long time, we’ll be heading home now. Mukio: Yeah… this is totally boring… there’s not a single interesting thing… Shiina: You wanna be entertained!? <sfx: *flap*> Shiina: There are plenty of opportunities all over the place!! // Like the Petting Zoo Corner!! / It’s way more entertaining by just being close to the animals!
Page 15 Shiina: Kisazou! Customers! C’mon! Let’s play some soccer! Mukio: So close… Mukanai: It’s huuu~ge… Shiina: Hey, Little Kid-man! Take that ball! Mukio: Okay! Shiina: Hoh! / Hi-ya! <sfx: *punch, punch*> Mukanai: Mukio, what are you gonna do you daredevil!? <but this is nothing like soccer at all> <sfx: *punch, jab, punch*> <sfx: *rumble* *RUMBLE, RUMBLE*>
Page 16 Kisazou: BARAAAA~G!!! Mukanai: Uwaaahh!!? <sfx: *fall down*> Mukanai: Waahhh, the elephant is…!! Shiina: Hey Little Kid-man, come over here, hey-ho! Hana (in picture): Kisazou-kun!? // He can’t see his surroundings when he gets fired up!? / That’s it! A trait like that would explain his reaction back then…… Kisazou (flashback): It’s not good for me to get too enthusiastic! I can’t do that!
Page 17 Mukio (in picture): Such thrilling intensity… but at this rate…… I will die… Hana: Kisazou-kun! <sfx: *rush*> <sfx: *twitch*> <sfx: *turn away*>
Page 18 Hana: Elephants have really good ears so they can distinguish people by their voices. // If they hear the voice of someone familiar they won’t attack and will avoid doing so. They are very smart animals! // …so to say… well, that was the whole trick behind our little performance! I hope you enjoyed the skit! Ahaha… <sfx: *caw, caw*> Mukanai: Like we’d come a second time… this was way too scary!! // Mukio, we’re going home!! Mukio: … okay… // Big Sis, / Mister Director.
Page 19 Mukio: That was super impressive! And totally interesting!! // I wanna come again! Hana (in picture): While we didn’t make any money in the end… Shiina: Hey, Aoi Hana, go clean my cloak! Hana: Yes, understood. Hana (in picture) It was the first time that we, as a zoo, were able to satisfy one of our customers. It became a memorable day! <sfx: *strip off*> <sfx: *pull up*> Hana (in picture): This is…!!
Insert text: Through the arrival of the customers the director’s body did it again…!!https://mangahelpers.com/t/mr-prince/releases/28666Translation: Oumagadoki Doubutsuen 242011-03-31T23:39:24+00:00Mr. Princeadmin@mangahelpers.comAnd another one...! No April fool's joke!! :D

Journal: And like that a long, looong day took its end. // It didn’t go without casualties, // but in the end we managed to rescue our comrade and returned to the zoo.
Headline: ☆ There’s a Bangai-hen released in Jump NEXT!, which is about Hana’s harsh life in the zoo! See Pages 142/262 for more info!!
Takahiro: Mission… accomplished… Uwabami: Without exaggerating, your job really was the hardest, Takahiro… Takahiro: What are you… saying…? An order is an order… Uwabami: I’m going to give you a massage later on, okay…? // Fufu… // We only left a few hours ago but it feels like ages~
Page 3 <sfx: *nod* *nod* *nod*> Oogami: You’re right~ I was burning to get home as fast as possible! I was twitching // It was the Wolf Twitch! Chita: Yeah, whatever! // I’m starving, y’know! / Just give me some meat to eat already! Gorilla Kong: Director, please lean on my shoulder! Shishido: Shiina! Seal! Female!!! // Get the hell off already!! After all, the boss is supposed to be going off last!! Hana: Igarashi-san, I’ll let you off. Igarashi: No, no, ladies first. <After you…> Animals: Uoooohhh~~!!! // Guuuyyy~~~s!! Shiina: Yo, beasts
Page 4 Shiina: WE’RE HOME!!!!
Page 5 Animals (in picture): Welcome ba~ck Popo: ALL WORN OUT!! Goat: Are you guys alright!? Oh, and… what about Igarashi…? Hana: Ta-daa!! Igarahi: Please excuse me for all the trouble and worries. I’m deeply sorry~
Page 6 Animals: Yaaa~~y!! Igarashi~~!! Kisazou: Yeah, really! / But you all… everybody looks so hurt and wounded… Hana (in picture): … everyone’s completely battered… Hana: In the end I couldn’t fulfill my duties as a zookeeper… // And I caused a lot of trouble for the aquarium as well… Oogami: Don’t mind it! Chita: It’s alright, it’s alright, y’know! Hana: It is not like the aquarium was a bad place as a whole, // it was just ruled by a really bad person! // He was a pitch-black man who couldn’t be saved. Chita: You were the one who called it a jail, y’know Oogami: Hindsight is easier than foresight. Plus, we freed the fishes! / If you’re not gonna call that the best possible solution then what is?
Page 7 Uwabami: Since when were you two such optimistic guys!? Chita: Ya didn’t know? Oogami: You didn’t know? Hana: You’re right… / Thank you! Animals in picture: Ya~y // Ya~y Ikkaku: LOVE! Hana (in picture): If the Ushimitsu Aquarium would become such a place… maybe we would be able to become friends, that sure would be nice~ // Friends…… / What I learned about the curse this time was that a person like Isana, even if they gained huge popularity, won’t be able to break it completely. // And on the other side… though it’s nothing but a hypothesis… / If humans and animals accept each other mutually… on top of unifying the place, they would need to make the park big.
Page 8 Hana (in picture): Which means… we, as we currently are, still can’t make it in the end… // After all, we’re flat broke… and we still don’t have a single visitor showing up. // That means, from here onwards I’ll have to try even harder!! Someone: Director!? Someone (in picture): Ahh! Shiina: Uhh… it is over… Gorilla Kong: As I thought, he really took severe damage from the whale… Someone: A whale!? Someone2: “It is over”, he said… Someone3: Does that mean…? / You must not die! What are we supposed to do if you were to die, director…!? Shishido: Oh! So you’re dying, huh? // Well, I’m gonna help you with that! Okay?
Page 9 Shiina: The phase where I couldn’t play games… // IS OVER! // Beasts, we’re gonna play a game, here and no~~w!! Hana: He’s unbreakable, I can’t believe it! Shishido (in picture): the fuck? He looked like he was about to die! Hana: You must rest your body, you can’t do this! Gorilla Kong: As expected… I’ll tag along! Shiina: As if I could rest on such a happy occasion! / All of our friends are completely assembled again! Hana: But look at how heavily you’re shaking! Uwabami: Well you see… this is the director’s true self~
Page 10 Shiina: Alright then, beasts! / Try to snatch Igarashi from me! // C’mon! Hana (thinking): And this is how a rather indiscrete game started! Oogami: How can he still be so hyper…!? Chita: Sounds like speed is the key to this game, y’know… / Count me in! Oogami: Even Chita… / Am I the only one plastered in wounds!? Hana: In the end, it’s the same old, same old… Uwabami: The director is really happy that we managed to rescue Igarashii, isn’t he~? // There, look at his face // He just looks so happy. Shiina (in picture): Rea~lly [TN: He’s imitating Sakamata’s Nagoya accent.] Hana (in picture): Well, no, that’s more like the face of an orca! Hana: …… however… yeah, they all look happy! Hana (in picture): It’s great… it really is!
Page 11 Shishido: Keh… this is stupid. What’s with that rabbit!? // How come he ain’t dying!? Uwabami: And I’m wondering the same about you. Uwabami (in picture): Weren’t you bit in the stomach? <sfx: *blood dripping*> Gorilla Kong: Shishido-kun… it’s better for you if you don’t act unreasonably! / Because your wounds may be the most severe, you know… Shishido: “May be”!? They sure as hell are! Gorilla Kong: Huh!? You insist on being hurt the most, is that something good…? Shishido: Hey, Gorilla, I heard you beat that huge-ass walrus, huh!? Gorilla Kong: Um… eh… yeah, in my own way, yes… Shishido: FIGHT WITH ME!! Hana: Huuu~~~h!? Shishido: You rescued me from the water. / And you even managed to beat that giant! Now, look at you! That means, you’re quite strong, right!? Hana: So that was his intention from the very start…
Page 12 Shishido: How about a fight // to decide who’s the strongest in the zoo!? Gorilla Kong: I’m in! Hana: HUH!? That’s unexpected!! Gorikon-kun!? Gorilla Kong: I… may be clumsy… but it’s impossible for me to turn down a challenge to a fight between honorable men! Oogami (in picture): Where’d he get that from all of a sudden!? Oogami: Nah, just change that line of “being clumsy” already, you showed your skills enough times! Gorilla Kong: However… since we’re both injured // the only way for us to have a clean and fair test of strength / is THIS!
Page 13 Shishido: SOUNDS INTERESTING! Hana: It’s the start of a very strange showdown!! // If it’s against the grip power of a gorilla Shishido-kun has got no chance to win… / We should stop them…! Uwabami: As long as that stupid cat loses it’s fine! And it would be even better if he were to suffer some complicated bone fracture on top of that! Hana: A complicated one!? Oogami: Not like I care but… you’re fine with dying? Oogami (in picture): Why am I the ref? Shishido: Like I’m gonna die!! / I’ll be the one to win this!! Oogami: Ready…
Page 14 Oogami: GO! Gorilla Kong: Since this is probably my only strong point… / I cannot lose! Oogami: Now look at you! Shishido: Tch… what the… like I’m just gonna accept we’re deciding the strongest that way… Shishido (in picture): What’s my special feat…? Shishido: Mortal combat here and now, you hear me!? Alright!! Hana: Wha! Shishido-kun wait a…
Page 15 Popo: OPPOSE! // THE ZOO’S STRONGEST!! / I’M ALSO INTERESTED! OPPOSING! Name boy: Popo // Hippopotamus Zebra: He’s inexhaustible, that fucking idiotic hippo. [TN: The Japanese word for hippo is カバ (kaba), and the Zebra called him バカ (baka), which is the inverse of it and means idiot.] Someone: Hm? // Hey, they said they’re deciding who’s strongest in the zoo or something like that… Hana: We~ll, there are some theories stating the hippopotamus as the strongest animal, so does this mean Gorikon-kun is in a pinch…!? <sfx: *thump* *thump*> Uwabami: Hana-chan…? Oogami: Okay then… Oogami (in picture): What am I doing here…!? Oogami: The Decisive Battle to be the Zoo’s Strongest, Round 2! Ready…
Page 16 Oogami: GO!!! Goat: Hey, Kisazou, how about you? You going to participate!? Kisazou: Huh!? Me!? Me too!? Participating in an arm wrestling competition!? Goat: Aren’t elephants really strong!? I heard about something like that! // They say that elephants can even beat lions if they get serious or so! Kisazou: Hmm… // I’m fine! I’m fine like this! / It’s not good for me to get too enthusiastic! I can’t do that! Hana (in picture): Kisazou-kun…?
Page 17 Gorilla Kong (in picture): My injury is…! Ugh… Popo: CHE~~ST!!! // THAT’S IT~~!!! Zebra: He won, huh Gorilla Kong: My right to exist… what am I supposed to do from now on…!? Oogami: Don’t take it to your heart. You’re all beat up, right? Right!? Popo: POWER~~~!!! Zebra: He’s all about power, huh Box: The Trial of Strength’s (Temporary) No. 1 is Popo.
Page 18 Shiina: I’m also gonna get in on this! Box: Correction, he is No. 2. Journal: It was the same as always… while breathing a little sigh of relief // everything went back to normal just like that. Someone (in picture): Waahh… Journal: And thanks to that we felt joyful and safe again. Box: Several days later Hana: The usual… no sign of any visitors far and wide! // How is a zoo that’s running out of money supposed to survive like that…?
Page 19 Hana (in picture): BUT! We’re definitely going to pile them up!! // To even more than the Ushimitsudoki Aquarium! Mukio: Look, look, Papa! So it WAS there in the end! // No one wanted to believe me! // But I was right in the end!! Name box: Munakai’s son (first born) // Hanauwa Mukio Munakai: But what’s this awful style? It’s hilarious~ Name box: Ushimitsudoki Aquarium’s Sponsor // Hanauwa Munakai Hana (in picture): They are… // visitors!

Page 17 <sfx: *sniff*> Oogami: Director… this is bad!! Shiina: No doubt… this guy’s awful! Oogami: Yeah, you’re right about that, but it’s not what I meant!! // Humans… visitors are scattered throughout the whole aquarium!! / I can smell them from everywhere… // We were too carefree! Mukanai: That director sure is late… // He said he was going to go to the director’s room, didn’t he~~? Visitor: There’s some kinda noise coming from above, right?

Hana (in picture): That man Isana and the director… // They might have been similar people tarred with the same brush. // They were both egotistic and selfish…
Page 21 Shishido: Fish, you better show up! And then I’m gonna beat you!! Sakamata: Heh / I might really come someday, so I can devour you… Hana (in picture): If there is one difference between them, it’s that… / while Isana was trying to recover his human body in a cold manner… // the director tries to progress while being with his friends, having fun… // The day I arrived at the zoo… // the time with Gorikon-kun… // and Shishido-kun… // no doubt about it, breaking the curse means to…
Page 22 Demon rabbit: SHOW YOUR LOVE Hana: He showed it // And we all accepted it. Hana (in picture): I can’t be completely sure… but it seems like it’s rather about unifying a park than making a big and successful one… <sfx: *turn around*> Hana: Director! // Let’s try // to continue breaking the curse while having fun, okay?
Page 23 Shiina: Huuuuh? Hana: What’s with that face!? Shiina: That’s a given! Journal: This fight which started during the Oumagadoki, the time when demons meet, Takahiro (thinking): Oh, boy… this muscle pain is horrible! Takahiro: Director, it may be possible I’ll have to infringe your orders a third time… Chita: Hey Zookeeper, I finally managed to pass 200 km/h, y’know! Oogami: That’s a lie! Uwabami: The lies men tell are so unsightly! Oogami: Takahiro, I fought in two battles more horrible than hell. Now hang in there! Gorilla Kong: Give it your all! Shishido: Hey Shiina, maybe I should kill you while you’re like this, huh!? Uwabami: Stupid cat!!

Insert text: They saved Igarashi!! All that’s left is the one-on-one fight between these two men!!
Page 2 Hana: Igarashi-san, are you okay!? Igarashi: Yes!! Yes!! My lady, Chita-kun, how come you guys are here!? Chita: That’s not gentleman-like at all, y’know Hana: I heard the words “director’s room” in the conversation between the orca and the walrus // So we just tried asking some of the fishes about it. / And they told us everything in a blink of an eye! Shiina: Aoi Hana, go now. Fast! Hana: Huh? / And what about you, Director!? Didn’t we say we’d all return together!? // We already achieved our goal! <Kanji on Igarashi’s forehead: Goal> Shiina: That guy // stepped on me before! / So I’mma have to pay him back first!

Igarashi: Lady, you better don’t… Hana: Therefore, let me tell you this: // You’re so cruel that it’s unbearable! Igarashi: Lady! Isana: Huh?
Page 8 Hana: To you, all the animals at this place are nothing but means to an end, aren’t they!? Igarashi: Please, stop. It’s dangerous! Hana: Seeing how you treat all of the fishes like that…! No matter how popular you’ve gotten… // or how much of your human body has recovered // I can’t think of you as a human being! Isana: Who asked you, know-it-all!?
Page 9 Isana (in picture): Hah… // hah… Isana: It’s no use… Shiina: Aoi Hana, stop acting so recklessly! Return to where Takahiro is at! // I’ll be coming once I have punched him another 2,840,000 times!

Isana: Creatures of the sea don’t seem to be scared of humans… // Why do you think that’s the case? Employee/Suck-up: …why is it?

Igarashi: I’m just sooo happy, my tears won’t stop anymore (undecipherable stuff) Shiina: Hell yes!

A few days ago I had been asking if some of you were interested in the bonus stuff that Horikoshi-sensei stuffed in the first volume of his Oumagadoki Doubutsuen. So, here I am and I got the stuff ready for you guys.
Btw. Red Hawk will release this in a scanlation some time inbetween the weekly chapters. Keep looking forward to it~~
_______________________________________
Author’s column:
Thank you very much for getting Volume 1 of Oumagadoki Doubutsuen.
Even though human and animals have different ways of communicating, I think we are the very same when it comes to our feelings.
With that being said, welcome to Oumagadoki!
________
The Making of Shiina
∘ To tell you the truth, I’ve transformed Shiina twice before arriving to the way he is now. To the left you can see the current Shiina. He’s got quite a furious look. I really like that furiousness of his
∘ Let’s go back to when I was still thinking about the one shot that eventually turned into a series. The main character was completely different; he was just a normal rascal working as a zoo keeper. During that time, I was working as an assistant under Kagijin’s Tanaka-sensei. I was in charge of drawing the mob (crowds of people). [TN: This is a technical term that is used in Japanese. Duties of the assistants are usually drawing backgrounds/scenery (背景 haikei) and the mob or crowd scenes (モブ mobu or 群衆 gunshū).] Because the setting had characters that were a mix of human and animal I was allowed to draw almost anything I wanted to. Among those characters was a rabbit man I had drawn without paying much attention to. It appeared on the scene and appealed to my co-workers. N-san, my assistant senpai, was pushing me on about things like, “You gotta make him your main character!” and that was how the auspicious rabbit man was born.
When the one shot was completed I handed in to the meeting but it was dropped because the main character lacked facial expression and it also had some other points that weren’t good. So I changed his face and got my revenge; it was published.
And after a cycle of trial and error in creating “a character that would work in a serialization” I arrived at where we are now. Shiina rose from the mob and worked his way up to become the director of a zoo. Good to be you, Shiina, huh?
Next to the two images of Shiina: Time of creation / Time of one shot
________
Gorilla Kong
∘ A common gorilla. I really love this guy. When he’s drumming on his chest with his hands he doesn’t clench his fists but instead he drums with his flat hands. Still, in reality, it makes a sound that kinda goes like “bop bop”. Though I haven’t seen it yet ……
________
Chita
∘ The fresh meat loving and fat cheetah. He’s running on the treadmill everyday ever since his race against the director. It helps him lose weight, you know.
By the way, I formed the name “Chita” by using the characters from Chita Peninsula, which is in the Aichi prefecture. I was born in the Aichi prefecture.
________
∘ I’ll be introducing the two main characters with a short profile here. I don’t know if this is of any use or not.
Aoi Hana Birthday: August 17 Blood type: 0 Height: 154 cm Likes: All sorts of animals / Natto, Yakisoba / Handball Dislikes: The latest tools and machinery / <small>(because she doesn’t know how to use them)</small>
Shiina Birthday: December 31 Blood type: B Height: 211 cm (including the ears) / 179 cm (excluding the ears) Likes: Carrots / Fun stuff / <small>(subjectively)</small> Dislikes: Boring shit / <small>(subjectively)</small>
________
Kasai
∘ I really like this guy’s design.
An herbivorous type. [TN: Saying this the third time now: in Japanese the terms “herbivorous” and “carnivorous” are used to describe character types, i.e. a shy and extroverted guys in contrast to aggressive and outgoing ones.] Give it your best!!!
Uwabami
∘ The one person who really understands Hana. What’s special about her is that when she transforms there is not only one snake, but a group of them.
By the way, they say she’s ridiculously good at holding her liquor! (Because she’s a booze snake…) [TN: Okay, this sounds just wrong the way I put it. Um, in Japanese Uwabami literally “giant snake” but it’s used colloquially for “heavy drinker”]
________
Shishido
∘ A real rogue. He’s quite difficult to draw because it takes a lot of strokes to draw him. But I think that’s why it is fun drawing him.
Male lions have this image of just either sleeping or eating so you really wonder why they’re called the king of beasts… Well, when things have to be done they do them, I guess.
________
Hana: We’ll be awaiting your next visit!! - Oogami & Takahiro: Oohhh— - Horikoshi: The next page is for introducing the staff members who were supporting me and Oumagadoki Doubutsuen. Even though there are seven names it’s actually a four-man group. I’m really grateful to them. ※Miyokawa-san and Chigusa-kun are just poking fun at me, so please don’t take them seriously.
________
Sasai Shinbu I’ll be cheering like a carnivore for Kasai and his chances in love (because our family names sound alike).
Never give in, Sensei ☆
Kasukabe Hiroki Congratulations on the first volume’s release!
And I would also like to express to you my GRATITUDE for taking me in!!!!
Yasuhara Hirokazu I like Shishido-kun.
Watanabe Ippei Horikoshi-sensei, I’m very sorry for breaking your TV. I’m very sorry for breaking your chair. I’m very sorry for doing my weight training at work.
Miyokawa Masaru Horikoshi-sensei, I just wanna say thank you for always letting me eat so much delicious food! That rabbit meat was really yummy!!
Neda Hirofumi Thanks for just everything!! Horipou, you really are the best!! I love you!!
Chikusa Toshihiro Ivory! Fur! Stuffed animals! The interior of the working place is the bomb!! You really understand just how much Sensei loves animals ♡♡♡https://mangahelpers.com/t/mr-prince/releases/26302Translation: Oumagadoki Doubutsuen 172010-11-29T00:56:29+00:00Mr. Princeadmin@mangahelpers.comHi there, dear readers. Now that I've caught up with JUMP (well, not completely up-to-date yet with the official releases but we're closing the gap here!^^) releases won't come as fast as they did the last few weeks... oh yeah, the Omake TL is done and is currently getting proofread. I'll post it some time this week!)
Here goes chapter 17. Fuka's last words <3 I love how Horikoshi handles that sorta stuff. :) [Same as with Kasai's monologue about Uwabami a few chapters ago...]

I… can’t move my body anymore, you know. // That bastard Ikkaku blabbed some nonsense about a funeral service and pierced fish or shit like that… / But I don’t wanna kick the bucket in a pile of trash… // Can’t it be at least… the place where I was born…!? / Would you do that for a dying man… / and answer just this one request…? // Sorry for the trouble… / You… you and Isana are so similar that you guys couldn’t be any more different… you’re a strange guy. Shiina: We’re nothing alike, dammit! I’m not wearing a helmet!
Page 13 Fuka: …hahaha… // You really are a strange one. // Now then, take me back. // Just throw me down here. // I’m begging you, // rabbit man… // that guy… make sure to… Fuka (in picture): The ruler of the sea returns to the ocean… / Sakamata! // When bound to it, I wonder… // which one of us is the ruler of the sea, you or me…? Fuka: haha… <sfx: *splash*>
Page 14 Shiina: Over there, huh… Shishido: Ugh-…!! UGHAAAA~~!!!
Page 15 Igarashi: Please stop!! Please stop fighting!! Sakamata: Take him into custody! Don’t let go of him! Shishido: NGAA-----!! // DON’T GNAW ON ME LIKE THAT!!! Sakamata (in picture): Even though he’s almost unconscious…… he’s impelled by a strong wildness!
Page 16 Sakamata: Haha // Flying nicely… Shishido (in picture): Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!! // He’s fucking playing with me!! / SHIT…!! Sakamata: Let’s end dis here and now! Shishido (in picture): He’s going to guzzle me---!!!
Page 17 Shishido: Nghaa!! Sakamata (in picture): He changed his trajectory by twisting his body. Sakamata: Dat… was a good move just now. Shishido: Hah // Hah // You bastard…you blocked before, didn’t you!? Sakamata (in picture): What…? Don’t tell me…
Page 18 Shishido: At the very beginning… you didn’t bother defending yourself! // But you guarded your head just now! // And… when Shiina struck you back in the park… // you also guarded that head of yours!! // That thing has to be important! Sakamata (in picture): He got me dere… and only by dat little incident just now… // Yes, dat part on my head is da soft spot used for echolocation… da melon※…… dat part… // da harbor of my wildness… or should I say, my battle instincts! ※A clump of fat used to regulate and control the sound waves Shishido: So, I guess I’m gonna go for it!!
Page 19 Shishido: OR NOT!! Sakamata (in picture): Dat guy……!! Shishido: Seems like hits on your body also work when you’re not prepared, huh!? // Then here comes another one! Sakamata (in picture): He’s gotten accustomed to dis fight… Shishido: OR NOT, IDIOT!!

Chapter 16 – Duel of Honorable Men Horikoshi Kouhei
Page 2 Insert text: Before Kasai and Uwabami…
Ikkaku: A duel, / that means risking what both sides have declared their pride! / As for me, that would be this tusk sword of mine as well as my chivalrous spirit!! Those two things! // And then you appear here!! // Neither directing a single word to me nor meeting my eyes!! // This is truly insolent!! Devilfish: H-… hey, hey… Ikkaku! Don’t you f-f- forget our t- task! // I- I’m going to c-c- capture that snake woman… you can have th- the h-h- huge g- guy. Uwabami: Kasai!! Ikkaku: Be silent, Devi!! I’m sincerely incensed right now! Devilfish: Y- you t-t- troublesome b- bastard!
Insert text continued: are a strange Narwhal and a strange Octopus!!
Page 3 Kasai: Puuh--! // Puuh--! Uwabami: Kasai… you’re protecting me…? Uwabami (in picture): On top of his bad eyesight it’s even harder for Kasai to move because of me… Ikkaku: Let me hear you declare your pride!!! // Otherwise… // I will litter your body with holes!! Uwabami: Kasai!!! Hold it right there, you!! Ikkaku: Worry not! It is my sincere duty to see to it that he will not die! / Because that is my task.
Page 4 Uwabami: We only wish to retrieve Igarashi! // We did not come here to fight… Ikkaku: That being the case it is a question of etiquette in itself!! // Stealthily sneaking in behind our backs // postulating to “only wish to retrieve” something is clearly nothing but insolent!! // Such an act of occupation or abduction is insolence beyond all measure! Uwabami (in picture): HUH!? Uwabami: What is wrong with you, you sham gentleman!! // Kasai!! Devilfish: Ik- Ikkaku… // Y- your way o- of doing things t-t- takes t- too long!
Page 5 Devilfish: S- so I think I’ll b- be // f- finishing this a- ahead of t- time… Uwabami: He disappeared!? // That octopus disappeared! Uwabami (in picture): He was clinging to the ceiling until just now, I’m sure!! Ikkaku: Devi! Don’t tell me you plan to interfere in my duel!? Devilfish: Sh- she’s s- strong-willed… and a- all wri- wriggly-wriggly… // So nice… so nice……
Page 6 Devilfish: D- don’t t-t- turn around, snake woman. Uwabami: Iyaahh! What!? What’s that!!? Devilfish: D- don’t tell me y- you don’t k- know about camouflage…? / I’m a common octopus. // I- I can adapt m- myself to my e- environment perfectly. I- I’m a ni- ninja of the s- sea! // Y- your resistance is f- futile! F-f- futile, I’m saying… snake woman…
Page 7 Devilfish: Th- that b- big guy’s a p-p- pain in the ass… Ikkaku: Devi, that man is my opponent! Devilfish: L- like I care! / H- he’s a p- pain in the ass so I- I’m gonna p- pitch in! Ikkaku: How impertinent! Devi, you shameless fiend! / I still don’t even know what his pride constitutes of!! Do you not wish to learn the only reason for which an honorable man engages in battle!? Devilfish: N-… no, I d- don’t! Kasai (in picture): …… I’m all dizzy… // … but… // it doesn’t matter!! // I have to protect her! Someone needs to protect Uwabami-san!! Uwabami: Kasai… thank you, it’s alright. // You just concentrate on that sham gentleman. // If he hasn’t disappeared but only camouflaged… // there’s no need to actually see him, what relief! / Because I am……
Page 8 Uwabami: no snake woman, // but a female snake! Devilfish: ?? Hm? Well…… here I c-c- come. Devilfish (in picture): W- what…!? She saw me…!?
Page 9 Uwabami: You also don’t seem to know about pit organs? // Snakes can not just feel but “see” heat. / They have a heat detection feature! // I can // see you just as clearly as before, Octopussy! Kasai: Oh! Kasai (in picture): …… she’s so beautiful! Uwabami: Prepare yourself! Devilfish: ……how nice!! // A wriggly-wriggly, strong-willed woman!! / A determined and unyielding woman!! // And that troubling body of yours, it’s all // so nice! [TN: In case some of you may wonder but it seems Devilfish doesn’t stutter when he’s aroused.]
Page 10 Uwabami: He severed his aaarm!!? Devilfish: That “severing” is called “autotomy”※. Uwabami: Kyah! Devilfish: “W- whaa~t, it’s g-g- growing b- baack!?” / Th- that’s not t- true, I s- still have 7 arms left! ※ Autotomy – The act of detaching parts of the own body in order to escape critical situations, e.g. lizards losing/severing their tails. Uwabami: Wait a… let go of me!!! Ikkaku: Do not let yourself get blindsided! / Get a grip on yourself and meet me head on!!! Devilfish: We’re both wriggling the very same way. L- let’s be g- good friends, y-y- yeah…!? Uwabami: What!? [Fanboy TN: Horikoshi, you naughty boy! *drools at Uwabami*]
Page 11 Ikkaku: You really are tenacious, aren’t you!? Ikkaku (in picture): What is it // that spurs you like this!? Uwabami: Ugh… Uwabami (in picture): My strength… it vanishes!? Devilfish: It’s because of the liquid! The octopus’ liquid can paralyse your body… I- I s- smeared it a- all over your arms…… // A- a- and… // my octopus ink shuts down your sense of sight and smell! // D- don’t you fuck // w- with an o-o- octopus!
Page 12 Devilfish: Well… / I- I’m off to d- do n-n-ni- nice th-th- things to this s- snake woman… Ikkaku: That ink of yours was an unnecessary act! / Don’t you dare dishonor my duel!! // Good grief… he really does not have the least bit of elegance! / Now then, once more, declare your pride to… <sfx: STARE>
Page 13 Ikkaku: Ah- Ikkaku (in picture): My sword… this pride of mine I…!!? Kasai (in picture): My eyes, which are as bad as they are, have become completely useless! And I can’t even smell anything! / But---… // But I know that… // Uwabami-san was dragged off by that octopus! That much I know… // I may not be able to see her, / but I know it!! // I always feel subconsciously where she is… // it’s always been like that! [TN: for Scanlators: From upper right corner to upper left corner and then the last sentence next to Uwabami’s face.] Ikkaku (in picture): That man… I understand!! // That man’s pride is… [TN for Scanlators: I’m sorry but the ordering in these panels is not really easy, I know. Top left corner, then downer right corner] Kasai: As long as I know where she is // there is only one thing to do for me!!!
Page 14 Kasai (in picture): Rush… towards love---!! Kasai: I WILL / PROTECT HEEERRR!!!!
Page 15 Devilfish: Ugh… how the hell did he know where I was… Devilfish (in picture): And did he really just tear down that heavily reinforced wall…!? Devilfish: It hurts… urrgh! But it’s u- useless… / Th- this snake woman belong to m- me… // F-f- farewell! <sfx: *sharp slicing noises*> Devilfish: Wha-!? // WHAT!? Ikkaku: That man’s pride // it’s oozing out without a single word. That love,
Page 16 Ikkaku: It really struck this heart of mine! Devilfish: Ikkaku!!? You bastard!! Ikkaku: The fact that he managed to touch me this deeply is proof that his pride matches mine. And for this duel it means my defeat! // Devi…… we have lost to love! Devilfish: Whaaat!? Ikkaku: You shall be the winner!!!! // Now then! Go your way!! Devilfish: Don’t you dare betray us like thaaa~t!!! Ikkaku: Let this strong spirit of yours // pave your way!
Page 17 Shiina: You’re the… // REVISED SHARK FIN-MAN!? Fuka: No, I’m not… well… it’s not completely wrong either. Shiina: I’m busy! / See ya!! Fuka: Even I… hah… heard the order by echolocation! // You… came to get back that seal, right?
Page 18 Fuka: I’m gonna tell you // his whereabouts! Shiina: He’s underground! // A friend of mine said so. There’s no chance for you to trick me! Fuka: He probably isn’t… kept there any longer… // Well… *cough*… you better listen to what a guy on the verge of death has to tell you! / Knowing how you’ll be going for that seal… the director… no, that bastard Isana has definitely taken steps and keeps it close by his side! // If you wanna rescue him, head for the director’s office… / It’s in the top floor of a tower in the back of the show stadium! // It would be better for you to hurry… Shiina: Huh? Fuka: Isana… if things don’t prove useful for his own sake, he will kill them without hesitating! // This aquarium should be avoided by anybody! It’s the very symbol of that guy’s despotic dictatorship!
Page 19 Fuka: Look at me… just once I dared to talk frivolously and I’m on the verge of death! / *cough*… Shiina: You’re an enemy, aren’t you? Fuka: An enemy? The only enemy I have… // is that sickening bastard! // Up until now, I had been working just the way that man… no, that monster told me to… / I said to myself that I’d feel better once I rose in the ranks. So I spared no effort while working, but this is the result of all of it! // Do you get it? He threw me away after he had used me, that’s just about the most frustrating and miserable thing about it… / I’m the ruler of the ocean, dammit! // Right now, my enemy is none other than Isana! That whale man…! // All this frustration and misery of mine… // I’m begging you…… I’m begging you from the depths of my heart… go… and dispel them for me!!
Page 20 Hana: If we pass this place we should be on the path downstairs Oogami-kun told us of… // Ever since earlier, those fish… / none of them have shown any reaction towards us, right? Hana (in picture): I don’t feel the least bit of vitality // coming from them… Hana: Oogami-kun!! Chita-kun!! Oogami: Hana-chan! Gorikon!! // Wow, I’m so happy! So you’re safe and sound! Hana: Oogami-kun, what are those wounds…!? And your hair…! Oogami: We~ll… the truth is, with the goal right before our eyes we encountered the enemy… but you know / of course, we won in the end! Chita: I ran 200 km/h! Oogami: Geez, I told you that’s not true!
Page 21 Hana: Ohh~…!! // So that means Igarashi-san is… Oogami: I said he was underground… // but Igarashi wasn’t there…!! // They beat us to the punch…!! Hana: Huh…!?
Page 22 Sakamata: Be not afraid. // Dis is but a mere change of scenes. Igarashi: What in the world was that alarm from before…? Shishido: Found him!! // There, there, theee~re he is! // FOUND YAAA---!!!
Page 23 Shishido: I was looking for ya!! Sakamata: No matter where I go, // dere’s rea~lly annoying guys!
