Medaka Box 42

This is for CxC scans only.




page 1

panel) There's a world even for abnormals.
title) Search the world over.

page 2

panel) Naze Youka. What will her true face bring about? What's the consequence of seeing her face?

page 3

1b) Naze-chan's face...
b2) Truth be told, this is the first time I'm seeing it.
b3) When she was still in class 11, she never took off those bandages...
b4) But, that's not the problem now...
b5) keh!

page 4

b1) This is why I always cover up this face! // Everyone stops and gapes at me like that!
b2) I stand out more without having the bandages on my face! // Dammit, this is embarrassing!
panel1) Even without her removing the bandages, I had a strong feeling she was beautiful enough to make anyone do a double-take, although she has mean look in her eyes. // But why does she cover up if she's so pretty?
panel2) Maybe it's because she's so pretty that she began to despise her own face. // I can understand the bandages if that's the reason, or if other girls picked on her because of that...
panel3) But, is that all? // If that was the only reason, would Maguro-san have used such a dramatic method of getting her to show her face?
panel4) And another thing that's bothering me is, // it may be me over thinking, but she looks a lot like somebody.

page 5

b1) Put your skirt on, Naze-chan. // A girl shouldn't go around showing her mid-section like that.
b2) Wha!? Maguro-san just
b3) Also, where'd the him from a couple of seconds go?
b4) What are you talking about? You're the one that forced them off.
b5) If you want me to put them back on, I want you to put your pants back on first.

page 6

b1) Yeah, you're right.
b2) I'll put them back on.
panel) He did exactly as he was told and put them back on!! // That's ridiculous!! This was the time to make her take more off... In fact, the normal Maguro-san wouldn't have stopped until she was butt naked! // There's something going on here, and it has to do with her face!
b3) hmph... // It feels pretty nasty having you act normal all of the sudden.
bubble sfx.) clip
b4) I thought you were the type that likes to get 100% on a difficult game. // It seems you like the process more than if you actually win or lose.
b5) Well, that's none of my business.
b6) Hey, Kouki-kun, would you get off of Koga-chan already? // If you stay on top of her like that any longer, people will take you for some sick pervert.
b7) Oh... // well...
b8) But, you know...
b9) Calm down, I'm throwing in the towel. We've lost.
b0) Here's the FLASK plan experiment data. // You get both mine and Koga-chan's data.

page 7

b1) Naze-chan, I'm sorry... // I didn't think it would end up like this.
b2,3) haa
b4) It's fine.
b5) We'll just start over from square 1.
b6) Later, Kouki-kun. // And you too, mr. pervert magician.
b7) Meet up with your group and get onto the next floor already.
b8) Although from here on out,
b9) you'll only be plunging into the depths of hell.
b0) Wait right there, Naze-chan.
b1) Are you running away?
b2) Running? What are you talking about?
b3) I'm only returning.
b4) Don't try to fool me, you're running, Naze-chan.
b5) That's wrong, your name isn't Naze-chan,

page 8

b1) Your real name is
b2) Kurokami Kujira!

page 9

b1) hm?
b2) Treasurer Kikaijima, did you say something?
b3) No, // I didn't say anything.
b4) Really?
b5) I thought I heard something.
b6) Isn't it just the Hitoyoshi group arguing over there?
box) Search group 2: Hitoyoshi and the Tsushima twins.
b7) Yeah, that's probably it.
b8) giggle. // Hitoyoshi-kun really can get along with anyone, can't he?
b9) That's true.
b0) The way he does things, it wouldn't be wrong to call that a skill.
b1) I wonder where Maguro-san wandered off to?
b2) When I told him about Naze-senpai, his face changed colors and he ran off.
b3) Whoa.
b4) Where'd they get all this money from?

page 10

b1) Naze Youka is the student that was promoted from class 11 to class 13.
b2) Yeah.
b3) I heard all that from Tanegashima-senpai.
b4) If she's odd enough,
b5) I guess she's taking part in the FLASK plan one way or another.
b6) Leaving the junior Naze Youka aside for now,
b7) I couldn't begin to tell you what goes through my brother's head.
b8) giggle // It must be extremely troubling having a brother who goes overboard in his care for you like that.
b9) Yakushima-senpai and Tanegashima-senpai are like brothers to me, // but they don't go that far.
b0) Yeah. // Which is why I try to stay away from him.
panel) So cute!
b1) Well, it's not like I don't understand why he's doing it.
b2) The reason he's always all over me, // is because he's giving enough love for 2 sisters.

page 11

-ANOTHER damn flash back!!!-
box1) The story of the Kurokami siblings.
box2) Especially since their family was widely known throughout Japan, even in the past, when you talked about the Kurokami children, everybody knew about them.
box3) Of course everyone knew of Kurokami Medaka who showed genius level brilliance at a young age.
box4) And Kurokami Maguro who loved his sister as though he were diseased.
box5) However,
box6) There was another child between the two.
box7) This is her, // She was an older sister, and a younger sister at the same time.
box8) Kurokami group's 2nd child, Kurokami Kujira.
-the whole group made this girl? Is that why she's so damn crazy?-
box9) The reason she wasn't so well known among people outside the family, wasn't because of her beaming brother and sister,
box0) In fact, it's because she made herself that way.
box1) For the sake of her human experiments, she would lock herself away in her lab.
box2) When it came to biology, she stood head and shoulders over Medaka.

page 12

box1) However, even Hitoyoshi Zenkichi barely knows about her.
box2) And the reason is because Kujira barely lived what anyone would call a childhood.
box3) She didn't go to school.
box4) She didn't go out to play.
box5) She didn't go outside for anything, she stayed behind her desk day after day, working.
box6) If you were to ask what's Kurokami Kujira's greatest abnormality, it would be her stoicism. // She had no interest in happiness or fun, she just strictly to her studies.
box7) Fun and pleasure seemed to back away from her.
panel) Having fun is a nice way of saying I'm being negligent.. // Enjoying something is a nice way of saying I'm being lazy. // Laughing simply means you're not serious about what you're doing. // These are the things Kurokami Kujira believed from the bottom of her heart.
box8) She would only eat enough to survive. // She wouldn't drink water that was flavored. // She would never touch anything that looked like a toy.
box9) Whenever she was conscious, she would have her nose in the books. // She would sleep for only 3 hours a day. // Her everyday life was what anyone would call torture.
box0) Her favorite saying was: Something amazing can only be made after seeing hell.
box1) And she fashioned her life after that saying.

page 13

box1) History shows that a lot of the greatest geniuses had a hard life. // Some of their best works were made when the faced their hardest trials.
-I got 4 out the 5 in that pic, I can't make out the guy at the bottom left.-
box2) That's why Kurokami Kujira believed that // she shouldn't be well off at all.
box3) Her position as the first daughter of the Kurokami family
box4) Was nothing more than excess baggage to her.
b1) I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth! // Born with good looks! // Born with excelled talents! // Born in favorable circumstances!
b2) And they can all eat shit!
b3) This blessed life is turning me into shit!
-Hell, she can have my shitty life if she wants!-
b4) Nothing comes from happiness!
b5) I NEED MORE ADVERSITY! I NEED TO PUSHED FURTHER INTO A CORNER!
b6) DEEPER, // INTO THE DEPTHS, // OF HELL!!!

page 14

box1) Her disgust of favorable birth, and overwhelming talents weighed heavy on her.
b1-4) haa
box2) The way she hated being born blessed began to eat into her soul.
box3) That being said, Medaka looked up to her sister for the stoicism that she had.
box4) Maguro-san loved both his sisters equally.
box5) However, that familial love
box6) was nothing more than baggage.

page 15

box1) On her 11th birthday, // Kurokami Kujira ran away from home.
box2) And she never returned.
paper) If I'm only going to happy, then I'm better off dead.
b1) It's been 6 years since. // Taking Medaka-chan's personality into consideration, she probably thinks a lot more of you because of that.
b2) But I've done everything I could to find you.
b3) Although while looking for you, I awoken to my abnormal ability of analysis. // And I do find it cynical that it was from that that I made the Kurokami group, which you hate, a lot bigger.

page 16

b1) The reason I enrolled in this school and participated in the FLASK plan was all to look for you. // There's no other place to get information on abnormals so readily like this place does.
b2) Truth be told, I don't care at all about people's limits. // I don't care about anything outside of my 2 sisters!
b3) However, there was no information on you here at all. // There was nothing about you in the underclassmen of class 13, so I left. That was too hasty of me.
b4) I never would've dreamed that you were in class 11 as a freshman.
b5) Maguro-san...
b6) Then that means...
b7) Hey, hey, there's no need for you to be so surprised. // Do you take me as the kind of sick douche that would lift up just any girl's skirt, or have them strip in front of me?
b8) Oh... no. // huh?
b9) Now I don't even know what to call perverted or not!
panel) But he's telling the truth! // He's only been going after Naze-chan, and hasn't said anything at all to me.
b0) That's right, // when I said I think of every girl as my sister,
b1) I was lying.

page 17

b1) You can search the whole world over, my sisters are Medaka-chan, and Kujira-chan alone.
b2) I only have two. // So long as you two are there, I'm satisfied.
b3) These 6 years, // there wasn't a single day that I didn't think of you.
b4) Now face this way, // and let me see your pretty face.
b5) You've tasted enough misfortune, right?
b6) Even you, // should get a little bit of good in your life.
b7) O...

page 18

b1) ONII-CHAN!!!

page 19

bubble sfx.) pshh
b1) Wha...
b2) Huh?
b3) Don't get me wrong, // it's not like I'm doubting your story.
b4) It's likely the truth.

page 20

b1) But I'm sorry,
b2) nice memories like that, // I used my techniques to erase from my mind.
b3) I left my home, // changed my name, // hid my face, // and got rid of my memories.
b4) My life began 6 years ago.
b5) The type of hell you read of,
b6) where there's NO salvation.
b7) And that's fine with me.
b8) I don't need such things of good fortune: a brother, a sister, and a family!
b9) Ku... // Kujira-chan...
paenl1) I can't move!! What did she inject me with? A sedative... no! // This feeling of being lightheaded... Did she complete THAT!?
panel2) Most likely! // Given her personality, she'd do her best to complete something I didn't.

page 21

panel) If that's the case, then I'm knee deep in it!!
b1) Listen here, STRANGER, don't try to call me over to the light side.
b2) If you're like my BFF Koga-chan and you want to walk down the path of darkness with me, then that's a different story.
b3) But now it makes sense. I couldn't understand why you pissed me off, or why I couldn't stand looking at you.
b4) I guess this would be my subconscious kicking in.
b5) I need to do a little more work on me then.
b6) WHO CARES ABOUT THAT!!
b7) WHAT DID YOU JUST INJECT MAGURO-SAN WITH!?
b8) Beats me... // I really don't know. // But there is one thing that I do know.
b9) If I end up destroying my actual blood brother, it'll make me even more unhappy! // In other words, I'll be able to make something even more amazing!
b0) This is good! I've changed my mind, we're going to continue where we left off!!

page 23

b1) Now then,
b2) I thought I was just hearing things, but I've come to confirm,
b3) is this the place that I've been hearing the wonderful name
b4) Kurokami Kujira?
b5) Ah.
b6) It's Kuji-nee!
left of panel) Maguro, Kujira, and Medaka!!
-Yeah, a family of marine life!-
