Desire 2

Well I'm shocked someone actually scanslated chp. 1 so quickly, so here's another to try out:

File:2: MANIA
Proofread by Zyrxil

38.
Takashi: First Gymnopédie by Eric Satie
(TN: The "First Gymnopédie" is a piece written by Satie in 1888, notable for being short and written in 3/4th time, as well as potentially being a precursor of modern ambient music)
Takashi: A deadly inorganic feeling. A monochrome-like mysterious clearness.........
Train: Suitenguumae
Takashi: Satie's piano composition and the woman have overlapped.

39.
Takashi: Ha
Takashi: Haa haa
Takashi: It's been a week since that dream-like encounter.....
Takashi: Since that day, an unknown desire deep in my heart has started to squirm. I've been feeling impatient.
Letter:
NEXT WEEK, FRIDAY
AZABU
"CLUB JP"
I'LL BE WAITING
PS: GIVE BACK MY PANTIES
RIKAKO

Man: Well...Is it possible to exchange the current version for the up-grade?
Takashi: Of course it is! If you prefer to see it, we can show you within 2 weeks...
(TN: It's all essentially translated into English, not going to do it again)

41.
Man 1: I heard they chose Fujii-san, the Stanford-graduate.
(TN: Well at least that shows that he's the one from Stanford, probably screwed that up easily in the last chapter)
Man 2: With so many candidates, this year's competition was fierce.
Takashi: Since I joined the company, the men have been nice, but it's strange the women aren't gossiping. There's a typical case over there!
Girl 1: I'm sure he has high goals as an elite.
Girl 2: He may be secretly going for the boss's daughter.

Takashi: .........

Takashi: .........
Takashi: ...!! (to himself) RIKAKO!?

45.
Rikako: I've been waiting! Want a drink?
Takashi: Th...thanks.
Takashi: An inorganic, mysterious clearness......she's completley changed from that colorless impression. She has color and a realistic smell now.

46.
Takashi: The reason I came here is...Ah...I apologize.........
Takashi: Forgive me for wanting this, it was a sudden impulse....
Rikako: If you want my underwear, it's fine if you keep it.
Man: Rikako, what is this guy!

47.
Man: I hear the cry of Bob Marley's soul. People who pollute Kingston will all be killed.
Takashi: ......!?

48.
(no dialogue)

49.
Takashi: You...saved me. I'm...going home.
Rikako: Are you running from him?

50.
Rikako: There's a key in this car. I'll drive!!
Rikako: Hurry!

51.
(no dialogue)

52.
Takashi: Meeting you by chance, your existance......It's all too unreal. I can't understand this. Tell me!!
Takashi: !!

53-54.
(no dialogue)

55.
Takashi: !!
Takashi: .........
Takashi: Te...tell me. What exactly are you?

56.
Rikako: Takashi Fujii...age 27, Tokyo U grad....I know everything about you.
Rikako: I am your mania.
Rikako: Your blood-type is AB.
Takashi: Uh...
Rikako: Are you hurt? I'll heal you.

57.
Takashi: .........

58.
Takashi: Haa
Takashi: Haa
Takashi: Ha
Takashi: Ha...

59.
Takashi: A sweet ecstacy engulfed my entire body.
Takashi: Within my faded senses, I continued to deny this squirming desire......

60.
Takashi: .........
Takashi: Satie's First Gymnopédie
Takashi: It's morning......Satie's piano cleared the indigo morning mist, creating a monocrome space.

61.
Takashi: ......?
Letter:
NEXT FRIDAY
CALL ME
RIKAKO
Takashi: A second letter from the woman...
Rikako: I AM YOUR MANIA.........

TN: You know, I'm a bit surprised. Of all the manga I've done recently, this one gets a speed-scan so quickly...and I'm mostly just experimenting with it. It's a very weird series (and I'm still trying to get the whole "Bob Marley" line), but it does seem very interesting with the direction it's taking with this "dream girl" coming to life. I just hope people bare with me on this...and if anyone wants to take this series over, please tell me and I'll just let it go. (unless you want me to keep going...I sort of wonder what others want though)
