Issue is regarding the last two lines on Pg. 07: Does the line mean: "Even I, can say something like that" or "I could say the same, to myself"https://mangahelpers.com/t/tsuchikage/releases/13587Translation: GA-REI - Tsuina no Shou 12009-06-27T16:43:17+00:00Tsuchikageadmin@mangahelpers.comGa Rei Tsuina no Shou

Thanks to BokoLife for the original translation of the cover page, which I just checked over a bit in regards to faithfulness. It saved me a lot of time and trouble.
Thanks to Dynamis for working with me on these past releases of Ga Rei, and changing my literally translated broken sentences into comprehensible and more natural English XD.
Thanks to Cerpintaxt for continuously fixing my horrid errors in English XD, and QC-ing it for me.
Oh, and Hyuver for putting up with me, heh.
Notes: -Text following a # is what the author means, minus any smooth phrasing or faithfulness to the original Japanese -When a sentence ends with a word in parenthesis, the word in the parenthesis is what would've been said had the line not trailed off
Cover page
This volume consists of chapters that were drawn and serialized in four special edition magazine releases over the course of a year. We were working on the main story at the same time, so writing each chapter was a time crunch. That's why, more than any other volume, this one is especially packed with our memories, blood and sweat.
This story is set one year before the main story's protagonists, Kensuke and Kagura, meet.
I'm glad I got to draw Izuna, who left the Countermeasure Department to wander aimlessly following the events of Yomi's death.
Please look forward to new characters such as Kyoko's brother, from the Kansai Branch, and a girl who aims to be exorcist, as they will later be linked to the main story. Thank you very much.
Back page
The stage is Kyoto. Takiguchi Tsuina is high school girl possessed by a curse that brings misfortune upon those she loves (romantically).
Tsuina, soon after transferring schools, fell in love at first sight with Mikado-senpai, who is in fact an exorcist for the Super Natural Disaster Countermeasure Department!!
In order to follow the same path as the one she loves, Tsuina becomes the apprentice of the wandering exorcist, Izuna…
A tale that is linked to the main story, Ga-Rei, presents you with another Ga-Rei world!!
Ch 1 Tsuina and "Two Exorcists"
Pg. 3
Frame 1:
Tsuina: I, Takiguchi Tsuina, have a “cursed love.”
Frame 2: Tsuina (blue text): That's why I decided // not to fall in love during high school, but even so...
Mikado: I'm your student council president... // Mikado.
Frame 3: Tsuina: So- // So cool...
Tsuina (pink text): This is probably... // What they mean by love at first sight...

Afterword
Pg. 7
Frame 1:
Tsuina (box): I first noticed the curse... several years ago.
Frame 2: Student #1: Really, so you're from Kantou?
Student #2: Yep, I’m here ‘cause of my parents transfer.
Frame 3: Tsuina (box): When I start thinking about love // people around me start to feel sick.
Mom: I feel kind of tired...
Dad: Maybe I have a cold....
Frame 4: Tsuina (boxes): When it comes to boyfriends…
Boyfriend: No good // I'm about to faint…
Box: Even if I get one … I immediately end up seeing him to the hospital.
Boyfriend: Please break up with me...
Pg. 8
Frame 1: Box: And finally, even spirits start to gather around me...
Ghost: Ah--
Tsuina: It's a good thing we moved...
Ghost: Oo--
Box: Which is why I'm sure it's a curse.
Frame 2:
Girl: Hey, that Student Council president just now, wasn't he so cool?
Tsuina: Ah! // Yeah, I thought so too.
Frame 3:
Girl: He’s so awesome! His name was Mikado-senpai, right?
*Side text*: Those Visual Kei looks and glasses! Sfx: Kya Kya!
Tsuina: I know! Just remembering him makes my heart race.
Frame 4:
Girl: Oh? // Then why not try entering the Student Council?
Tsuina: Eh?
Girl: I'll nominate you.
Tsuina: Wait-
Pg. 9
Frame 1:
Tsuina: No! I know this is going to be bad!
TL note: Armband says Student Council.
Frame 2-3: Tsuina: Calm down. This is probably some sort of trial... // More importantly, keeping this up will be trouble.
Frame 4: Tsuina: At this rate, forget Senpai, I won't be able to properly date a guy my whole life.
Frame 5-6: Tsuina: Somehow ... I have to learn how to control this curse or something…
Pg. 10
Frame 2: Tsuina: ... // ...Huh?
Frame 3:
Tsuina: What is this...
Frame 4:
Tsuina: Why is a shark...?
Pg. 11
Frame 1: Mikado: You're unlucky aren't you, first year…
Note: He actually says new student
It seems you can see them but... // Are evil spirits a first for you?
Frame 2-3: Tsuina: Who-?!
Mikado: Spirits come in many forms but... // These guys are called "Shichihonzame".
Note: It's a type of ghost, generally consisting of a group of seven. This one translates to Seven Sharks.
Frame 4: They’re the source of the bizarre murders that have been occurring lately in the neighborhood. // Shichihonzame are a collection of rotted souls.
Pg. 12-13
Frame 1: Mikado: There's no point in // even laying them to rest.
Frame 2: Monster:Buhora
Note: some kind of roar in pain
Frame 3: Tsuina: Agyaaa!
Frame 4: Mikado-senpai?!
Pg. 14 Frame 1-2: W-W-W- // What is this?!
Samurai: Pushu-
Shark: Ugi
Frame 3: Mikado: Calm down. // It's just an exorcism.
After him "Shuwarutsu".
Note: Literally "Red Evil Ferry", Shuwarutsu was a two-headed commander from the Sengoku (Civil war) era.
Pg. 15
Frame 1: Tsuina: Ah...
Exorcism?!
Frame 2: Tsuina: Yes...
Note to QC: I personally prefer "Yes...", but if it sounds unnatural, then never mind.
Frame 3: That was how… // Mikado-senpai and I met.
Pg. 16
Frame 1: Mikado: Don't mention this to anyone.
Tsuina: And that was…
Mikado: If you see them again, contact me immediately.
Frame 2: Tsuina: The moment I took my first step // into the world of spirits.
Frame 3: O... // Ok...
Pg. 17
Frame 1: Mikado: Wha-?!
Frame 4: Mikado: What...
Is this...
Frame 5: Mikado: My body's strength is...
Pg. 18
Frame 1: Tsuina: Oh no, my feelings slipped out! It's the curse…
A-Are you alright?!
Frame 2: Girl 1: Mikado-senpai!
Girl 2: What's wrong?
Girl 1: What's with that girl?!
Tsuina: Uwaa
Frame 3: Mikado: People are coming. // Don't worry, just go.
Frame 4: Tsuina: Ah...
I'm sorry! Excuse me!
Frame 7: Izuna: Well now...
Frame 8: Izuna: I came chasing that shark to kill time...
Pg. 19
Frame 1: Izuna: But...
Looks like I found an interesting girl.
Frame 4: Tsuina: Crap...
I ran off without thinking...
Frame 5: Tsuina: I didn't even thank him for saving me.
Pg. 20
Frame 2: Tsuina: I'm home...
Brother: Hey ... ! Onee-chan, your arms bleeding you know?!
Frame 3: Letter on table:
I'll be coming home late.
Love Mom
Frame 5: Tsuina: That was the first time I saw an evil spirit... // Or an exorcist for that matter...
Brother: Stop talking about that, it's scary. // We just moved here… Aren’t you the only one who can see them?
Pg. 21
Frame 1: Brother: Huh ... did you fall for someone again?
Tsuina: Wha-!!
Brother: My body's feeling a little heavy. // Are you letting your feelings out?
Note to QC: He's asking whether she's noticed her "odd" feelings (basically has she fallen for anyone). I don't really know how better to phrase this sentence, but "are you feeling ok?" strikes me as off
Frame 2: Tsuina: I-It can't be helped can it?! With ... With a meeting like that… // He can even see spirits! He's perfect! // I even got his address...
Frame 3: Tsuina: If only I could meet someone like him... // I've always thought that.
Reporter: This new update just in.
The mutilated corpse of a man was found in Kyoto's Shijo neighborhood.
Tsuina: He's cool and handsome and seems reliable.
Frame 4: Tsuina: I want to call him ... Would it be a nuisance...?
Frame 5-6: Reporter: Now, we go to the scene of the crime, // Hageyama-san?
Hageyama: This is Hageyama.
Pg. 22
Frame 1: Hageyama: Here at the scene, the paramedics have only just arrived...
Frame 2: Tsuina: Ahh!!!
Why is he in a place like that?!
Frame 3: Hageyama: According to the person who found the body, // the upper half of the body had been torn off.
The police are investigating if the incident...
Frame 4: Tsuina: Wait, a murder scene?
Could it be that shark from earlier...?
Pg. 23 Frame 1: Tsuina: Normal people can't see them either...
Frame 2: Tsuina: If I could find it maybe I could help Senpai...
Frame 4: Tsuina: It could be a good chance...
To get close to him!
Brother: Nee-chan?
Pg. 24 Frame 3: Great white: Sha--
Hammer-head: Ki--
Frame 4-5: Shark: Ahh
Pg. 25
Frame 2: Head Officer: It was discovered thirty minutes ago.
Random officer: Get the media out of here!!
Head Officer: The body was still warm.
Random Officer: Spread the sheet wider!
Frame 3: Head Officer: Could this really ... be the work of a human...?
Frame 4: Mikado: These bite marks ... so it's the Shichihonzame. // I can’t believe I let them get away…
Frame 5-6: Mikado: Widen the perimeter.
That first year...
Pg. 26
Frame 1: Tsuina: I think ... I'm lost...
Frame 2: Izuna: That's rather dangerous...
Shichihonzame are a group of seven evil spirits which hunt people with spirit sense.
Depending on the region, they're called Shichinin Misaki or Shichinin Dougyou. As there are many kinds, they're called the Shichinin Series.
Note: Shichinin is just "seven". Misaki is a messenger of gods, and Dougyou just means travelling companions.
Pg. 27
Frame 1: Tsuina: Wha?
Who is that...?
Frame 2: Izuna: They remember the smell of your blood.
So if you're not careful, you'll be targeted again.
Frame 3: Izuna: You should stop getting yourself involved.
Frame 4: Izuna: You're…
Willingly trying to enter the spirit world.
Tsuina: ...
Umm...
Pg. 28 Frame 3: Tsuina: Creepy!
Frame 4: Tsuina: I guess...
I was being reckless but...
Frame 5: If the shark had found me first…
Frame 6: Wouldn't I...
Have been killed?
Pg. 29
Frame 1: Tsuina: Uwaa!
Frame 2: Shark: Sha--
Frame 3: Tsuina: Crap…
Frame 4: Tsuina: Senpai...
No time...
Pg. 30 Frame 1: Izuna: Geez.
Frame 2: Tsuina: Higyaa!
Frame 4: Izuna: I don't work for free!
Pg. 31
Frame 1: Izuna: Now, how should I have you pay me back...
Frame 2-2: Tsuina: Weasels?
Frame 4: Izuna: Those are "Kudagitsune" // They're my pets. Note: Kudagitsune means pipe fox
Pg. 32
Frame 1: Izuna: People call me the "Fox User Izuna".
Frame 2: Shark: Gi...
Izuna: I'm a wandering exorcist.
Frame 3: Izuna: The same as your Mikado-senpai. Pg. 33
Frame 1-2: Tsuina: You know Senpai?!
This guy's really strong too.
Shark: Buhoa
Frame 3: Izuna: Well ... I know him, but we're not friends.
Frame 4: Izuna: I'm a freelancer. // Sorry, I'll be taking your money for saving you.
Tsuina: Wha?! // But I don't have any!
Pg. 34
Frame 1: Izuna: That's no good. // I keep saving you…
But you won't pay me back.
Frame 2: Tsuina: Have I ... been caught by someone crazy?
Frame 3: Izuna: Considering the price, is what it means to be an adult... Note to QC: adult/mature, point is he's not saying the price of being an adult.
If you don't work hard or deal in good faith...
Frame 4: Izuna: No matter which world…
You won’t be able to survive.
Pg. 35 Frame1: Izuna: If you’re not prepared…
Then forget about all of this.
Frame 2: Tsuina: All of it?
Frame 3: Izuna: The main boss eh?
Frame 4: Izuna: He's a big one...
Pg. 36 Frame1: Tsuina: When you say all of it, do you mean Mikado-senpai too?
Frame 2: Izuna: Of course.
Besides, are you willing to bet your life on his world? Note to QC: Personally, I think Izuna's referring to whether Tsuina likes Mikado so much she's willing to gamble her life on it.
Frame 3: Tsuina: But...
Frame 5: Tsuina: I can't.
The perfect person for me ... finally showed up
Pg. 37 Frame 1: Tsuina: Even in middle school… // Because of the curse I was called the Plague Queen. // Even spirits would show up.
There was nothing good in my life but…
Frame 2: Izuna: Curse?
Tsuina: But…
Frame 3: Tsuina: Since I met Senpai…
Finally…
Frame 4: Tsuina: "I've met someone from the same world as me"
Is what I thought!
Pg. 38
Frame 2: Izuna: Wha...
Frame 3: Tsuina: Damn!! I did it again!!
Izuna: Bufua
Frame 4: Izuna: What the?! My body won't move...
Frame 5: Driver: Waaah
Frame 6: Tsuina: Kya!
Pg. 39 Frame 1: Izuna: Uo
Tsuina: It's my fault...
Frame 2: Tsuina: My curse has...
Frame 3: Shark: Gyopo
Frame 4: Izuna: Doha--
Pg. 40 Frame 1: Tsuina: It-It's huge!
It transformed!!
Frame 2: Shark: Kahaa
Frame 4: Izuna: Cheh
Pg. 41
Frame 2: Izuna: What's going on...
I can't control the Kudagitsune.
Could it be that my spirit power has...
Frame 3: Izuna: By this girl...
Frame 4: Tsuina: Ahhh!
Pg. 42
Frame 2: Shikigami: Gabua
Frame 3: Izuna: Shikigami...
Pg. 43 Frame 1: Tsuina: Mikado-senpai!!
Frame 3: Tsuina: I knew it ... he came to save me!
Frame 4: Mikado: The first year from lunch eh...
Why are you here with that guy?
Note to QC: "here" emphasizes that both where she presently is and being with the guy are odd, as neither make sense
Pg. 44
Frame 1: Mikado: Going around spreading unrest.
So you've come to raise trouble in the capital eh, Izuna?!
It seems you’re the same as ever but... // How are you?
Pg. 45
Frame 1: Mikado: Don't you dare call me by my name. // You traitor! Note to QC: maybe that works better? if not, whatever, this one doesn't matter much to me
Frame 2: Tsuina: Eh?! This could be dangerous?!
Wait ... now’s not...
Frame 4: Oo...
Pg. 46
Frame 1: Tsuina: Uoeeeeeee
Izuna: Wha-?!
Frame 3: Tsuina: Higiiii
Pg. 47
Frame 1: Grrr...
Frame 3: Tsuina: Se-Senpai...
Frame 6: Mikado: So you're taking her hostage eh?
Pg. 48
Frame 1: Mikado: One thing after another, you really are unlucky first year...
This is the border of the spirit world.
I have a duty to protect the human world.
Frame 2: Mikado: I don't care if you hate me.
If I don't stop him here, // there will be even more victims.
Pg. 49
Frame 1: Tsuina: Huh?
Frame 2: Izuna: Oi ... you're not thinking of killing her are you?
Frame 4: Mikado: She probably has…
Already prepared herself for this.
Frame 6: Tsuina: Prepared myself?
Frame 8: Izuna: I really don't like that...
Pg. 50
Frame 1: Izuna: That's why you guys are a pain.
Don't you know cute girls are a country's treasure?
Frame 2: Izuna: Sorry but...
I'll be getting in your way.
Frame 3: Tsuina: Wait...
Pg. 51
Frame 1: Tsuina: How on earth did we end up in this situation?!
Frame 2: I know it's my fault for being careless...
Frame 3: Even that person's wounds…
Frame 4: It's all my fault but...
Frame 5: Why is it that…
This is too stupid...
I keep getting caught!
Pg. 52
Frame 1: Tsuina: Unable to do anything…
Am I going to die crying?!
Frame 2: Tsuina: I only…
Uu
Frame 4: Tsuina: Wanted to fall in love, like a normal person.
Uooo
Pg. 53
Frame 4: Izuna: Wha-?!
Frame 5: Tsuina: Eh?
Pg. 54-55
Frame 1: Monster: Gyawaa
Frame 2: Izuna: Again...
Frame 3: Izuna: Could it be ... that girl...
Frame 4-5: Tsuina: WAA
Izuna: By touching the other party…
Pg. 56
Frame 1: Izuna: She absorbs their spiritual power?!
Pg. 57
Frame 1: I, Takiguchi Tsuina, have a cursed love.
Frame 2: I can't even get rid of these feelings.
But...
Frame 5: Even if that...
Frame 6: Leads to a deeper darkness within the spirit world...
Pg. 58
Frame 4: Mikado: What is that girl... // To purify and absorb spirit power... // Normally it'd be unthinkable...
Izuna: That's why I said I don't know. // I just happened to meet her.
Frame 6: Izuna: More importantly, what's it to you? Do you like her?
Mikado: Wha-?!
Pg. 59
Frame 1: Izuna: Buuuut, I won't give her to you~
Because I've kind of taken an interest…
(in smaller text) in her. Note to QC: the "in her" part completes the sentence, it's not separate, although I don't think it's said under his breath or anything Alternative translation: She piques my interest... that girl.
Frame 2: Izuna: You're too heartless, so she can't be left to you.
Mikado: What are you saying?! // I'm...!!
Frame 3: Tsuina: Wait! What are you guys talking about?!
Frame 4: Tsuina: More like, where am I...
Pg. 60 Frame 1: Izuna: The secret agency of the Ministry of the Environment: The Supernatural Disaster Countermeasure Department.
Frame 2: Izuna: It's the government's exorcist organization~
Frame 3: Tsuina: Where is // my love leading me...?

Frame 2: Congratulations.
Frame 3: He said congratulations!
The elatening information passed through the phone...!!
We-
Frame 4: We did it!

Pg. 4
Frame 1: YEEEESSSSHHH!!!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAY
Takagi-kun!?
Ah, yes?
Frame 3: IT FAILED AGAIN?!?!
Ah, I see...
Frame 4: No, but more than 13 titles were passed around, and tied up at seven titles. It stuck there. Really, it came really close!
Results are everything!! Damn it!
Frame 5: --but then it made it to the last seven, and before long there were four newbie titles. It just barely came short.
I... I see...
Pg. 5 Frame 1: They said the three chapters of the name were all interesting, // but that "interesting" was more the one-shot kind of interesting. Done badly, it may be seen as a gag manga. For a story-type manga, they would like to see things that would become support to carry along the story.
That's why I said that focusing on the continuation would be better! Not this one-shot-like method of yours!
Is- Is that how it was? Sorry. It's because the one-shot's results were better...
Frame 2: Nakai-kun's drawings were regarded highly. The background was especially magnificent. // Next, about how they said to draw characters more suited for shounen-mangas. That was their advice for Aoki-kun. I'm thinking of having Aoki-kun fix that and then nominating it again next time around.
I understand, I would most definitely like to enter once again with Aoki-kun.
Frame 3: The overall review was like that, but I'll go over the good and bad comments one by one with you.
One by one? C'mon...
That and before the meeting starts, I'll tell you the rest of the Cap's thoughts.
Ah, yes. Thank you very much.
Pg. 6 Frame 1: Serialization~~~!
Cry without making so much noise!!
Fueh // Fueh
Ah // Yes // Yes // Yes
EH?!?! Wait a second!
Frame 2: It's amazing // A room to work // Assistants // Talk of a contract // There's a lot to talk about so Hattori-san wants to come to Yakusa tomorrow to discuss it, but he's asking where in Yakusa would be best.
Uhh...
Frame 3: You can give him the address of this place // It's strange to already have a studio, but we'll tell him everything tomorrow.
Frame 4: Yes // then 16:30 at this address, yes // Yes, thank you very much
Pg. 7 Frame 1: We've done it! It's like we're in a dream!
If it's a dream, don't wake us up!
Somehow I'm just so happy my face won't stop grinning.
Frame 2: Mashiro, report to Miho
Yep
Frame 3: *beep* *beep* // *beep*
Frame 4: *beep*
Frame 5: I'm looking forward to Miho's instant reply
Frame 6: Huh? Nothing's coming
It-It's not as if it always comes back instantly. It could be work.
Frame 7: This late?
Then she's asleep? This early?
Then... // I don't know! Haha
Pg. 8 Frame 2: Are you going to waste this chance?
...I'm sorry...
Frame 3: Your popularity right now is based on your looks // Do you not understand?
As a seiyuu, an opportunity like photobooks won't come
No, not even seiyuu's who are selling well get these offers // I'm not telling you to become a gravure idol, but if you take this offer, work as a seiyuu will definitely come your way
Frame 5: The role you're doing right now will end in Spring // And they don't keep regulars right? // But if you release a photobook, you'll definitely get an offer.
Frame 6: ...photos of me working as a seiyuu... or, as a seiyuu, releasing a few photos a little bit more personal...
...Don't say that you idiot
Pg. 9
Frame 1: Photos like that... That's exactly why ONLY pure, innocent fans buy those!! // Besides, like they'd release that!
Father also, after seeing my singing in the ending theme of Sacred Visual School for Girls, he told me to quit that kind of crap...
Frame 2: What's more important than your parents is your feelings right?! // You want to sell more don't you? Think of the steps!! // The ending for SV girls was a great success! You got an offer with singing that bad!
Everyone's envying you!! // I also told you from the beginning, you should start off selling as a gravure idol. If you really want to become a seiyuu that badly, wouldn't it be fine after you've sold as an idol?!
Frame 3: You hear me?! If you refuse this, think of how hard it will be surviving as a seiyuu! The world isn't that kind!!
Frame 4: ...I'm sorry. Please let me think on it a little longer
Frame 5: Excuse me
Good grief
Pg. 10 Frame 1: Forget the nitty gritty already!! It's taking too long! Anyhow, I'll write a story with a narrative backbone to it and pass it around at the next serialization meeting, right?
That's how it is.
Sigh~ Me too eh... // Well, much better than being rejected...
Frame 2: Damn it! Take it in to see him again, eh?! Since it's come to this, I really want to ask Yuujirou himself whether he doesn't think it's due to a difference in editors!
Ashirogi-kun's really amazing... Maybe it's really the difference in characters...
Frame 3: No... There wasn't much of a difference between the three shots published in the Golden Future Cup // Hattori Akira and their strategy won out... Well, you could also say we lost to the pair's efforts...
Frame 4: Didnt you hear? Not just the three for names, they went way beyond that is what I heard.
Ah! They prepared all that to show they could keep up drawing manga while attending highschool at the same time... // So that's how it was...
Even the editorial head is human, he was moved by that kind of passion. There wasn't a difference between the works themselves... That's what I'd like to think // Either way, an editor that would work them that hard is crazy...https://mangahelpers.com/t/tsuchikage/releases/10135Translation: Bakuman 282009-03-08T13:18:39+00:00Tsuchikageadmin@mangahelpers.comBakuman 28
Note: Sorry, I was pretty careless for this chapter and there may have been a few confusing and awkward-sounding bits, but here's the corrected translation.
Title: Help and Conditions
Side text: Combination revived! Once again, a strategy meeting!
Frame 1:
Mashiro: I paired up once again with Shujin, who coincidentally tried to write the same kind of manga. He wanted to see what I'd been thinking of, so we headed for the studio.
Takagi: Geez, it’s been awhile
Frame 2: Mashiro: Here
Frame 3: On the page: Title [undecided]
Main character – Investigation by Trickery To catch the criminal by traps To uncover the truth
Design plan
Takagi: Ooo, I see, interesting
But this’ll be tough…
Frame 4: Takagi: You wrote a little bit of the name right? Show me
Frame 5: Takagi: Show me it already
Mashiro: I’ve really only written just a bit
Pg. 2
Frame 1: Top right: Hospital
Bottom left: That’s as far as you go.
Frame 2: Takagi: Make him think that the victim is still alive, have him come back to finish the job, and then trap him. // It’s overused, but it’s the basics to the sleight of hand. You’ve definitely got the idea of it.
I also like how you start the main character off in the middle of the action.
Frame 3:
Takagi: This… could we add masquerading character to this?
Frame 4: Takagi: It’s a manga and he’s a con-artist, adding that much should be alright, right?
Frame 5: Takagi: In other words, disguising himself as the victim and showing the perpetrator he’s alive, then tricking him the same way.
Frame 6: Mashiro: I see! Transformation eh? // Yeah, having a special skill or two would be good. It fits the main character too, so that’ll be much more interesting!
Miyoshi: You guys really do work best together!
Pg. 3
Frame 1: Takagi: And, if we can write the rest...
Mashiro: Yeah... we need a trap that’ll shock the readers, // as long as we can do that-
Frame 2: Takagi: -it’ll get really awesome!
Frame 3: Takagi: This’ll work! I want to write about this protagonist more than any other before. To be honest, I’ve been wanting to do a mystery too.
Let’s bet it on this. With this, we’ll definitely get serialized.
Frame 4: Takagi: But half a year eh… // Our goal’s to write over five chapters of this name in half a year… // Hmm…
Frame 5: Takagi: Saiko, half a year’s the limit right?
Mashiro: Eh? Do you want more time?
Frame 6: Takagi: Nah, I’ll do it // but really…
Pg. 4
Frame 1: Takagi: About a week after I told Hattori-san I’d be writing mystery names, he sent six cardboard boxes full of mystery novels and DVDs to my place.
Mailman: Sign here please
Mashiro: Six boxes?!
Miyoshi: Six boxes in that tiny room…?
Frame 2: Takagi: He included a letter too...
Letter: It can’t be helped that this is all I can provide for the data, but I did what I could! At the least, study this much! -Hattori
Takagi: …is what he wrote // I really believe Hattori-san was serious about the two year plan
Frame 3: Takagi: Just skimming over all that would take about three months… // Although it certainly would be good to look them over.
*Paki* T/L Note: *opening can*
Frame 4: Takagi: That’s why I was honestly thinking that it might be better to spare some more time.
Mashiro: Want to try splitting it between us?
Frame 5: Miyoshi: I’ve decided!
Mashiro & Takagi: Huh?!
Pg. 5
Frame 1:
Mashiro & Takagi: What all of a sudden?
Miyoshi: I’ve changed my dream!!
Frame 2: Takagi: That was fast // Are you going to give up already?
Miyoshi: Well, a five for grades in writing is good but I have a two. Writing a cellphone novel all by myself would be impossible right?
Takagi: You sure are slow to notice that.
Frame 3: Miyoshi: So, my dream is the success of Takagi and Mashiro!
Takagi: Wha?
Frame 4: Miyoshi: No go?
Takagi: I don’t even get what you mean…
Frame 5: Miyoshi: What I mean is // I’ll gather together the main points to all those novels and DVDs for Takagi // Even if I only get 2’s, I can do that much
Frame 6: Miyoshi: It's what I’m wishing for the most right now… Now that I think about it, when you and Mashiro succeed, Mashiro and Miho will be bound together.
And… if possible…
Pg. 6 Frame 1: Miyoshi: Could we also get married?
Frame 2: Takagi: By “we”, you’re referring to me and you?
Miyoshi: Who else!!
Takagi: More importantly, I just got proposed to, didn’t I?
Frame 3: Miyoshi: You said you loved me!
Takagi: Whaa? I may have said I liked you, but did I really say I love you?
Miyoshi: It’s the same! You kissed me too!
Takagi: Y-You, don’t reveal that in front of Saiko!
Frame 4: Miyoshi: If you didn’t make it as a mangaka, would you still marry me?
Frame 5: Takagi: …in the first place, I haven’t even thought as far as marriage.
…if I said that, she’d cry wouldn’t she…
Frame 6: Takagi: Well… certainly if we’re talking about marriage, it’d be after we make it as mangakas, otherwise I wouldn’t want to. I’ve no interesting in becoming a chain.
Pg. 7
Frame 1:
Miyoshi: That’s why helping out at least would be fine, right? // I want to become Takagi and Mashiro and Miho’s strength. I’ll do anything. I’ll even make food for you here at the studio.
Mashiro: But novels and movies have moods to them, so we should…
Takagi: Nah, we don’t have the time either. If she’ll sift through for ideas it’d really help
Frame 3: Miyoshi: Why not! Why do you always try and make me the odd one out?!
Mashiro: Eh?
Frame 4: Miyoshi: Is your dream only with Miho?
Takagi and I have our dreams now too // Letting me help wouldn’t hurt!
Frame 5: Mashiro: Miyoshi
Frame 6: Mashiro: Thanks, please help
Pg. 8
Frame 1: Miyoshi: Thank goodness
Takagi: Don’t cry!
Miyoshi: If I talk properly with Mashiro-kun, he understands!
Frame 2: Takagi: So, Miyoshi, bring the boxes from my house over
Miyoshi: No, aren’t you going to carry them?
Takagi: Ah, so that’s how it is.
Mashiro: With this, we also gained Miyoshi’s help, and we aimed at over five chapters in half a year for the name we were going to serialize.
Frame 4: Miyoshi: Takagi~! I spent today reading and putting together three scripts during class!
Takagi: Thanks
Frame 5: Miyoshi: Ah! I forgot my bag, wait a bit for me too
Mashiro: Miyoshi’s really going at it. She’s already finished 2/3 hasn’t she?
Frame 6: Girl: Excuse me… // Takagi-kun, are you dating class 3’s Miyoshi-san?
Takagi: Let alone dating, apparently we’re going to get married.
Pg. 9 Frame 1: Girl: Is he serious?
Mashiro: Yeah, I have a fiancé too, isn’t it normal?
Frame 2: Girl: Freaky!
Mashiro & Takagi: Haha
Frame 3: Miyoshi: Mashiro // Tomorrow’s November 5th, what day could it be?
Mashiro: Azuki’s birthday
Frame 4: Mashiro: Even if you hadn’t asked, I’d have messaged her “Congrats”
Miyoshi: As expected, simply that
Mashiro: Love comes in a variety of forms-dattebayo
Note: -dattebayo is from Naruto, it’s not normal Japanese, so I was kinda surprised to see it
Frame 5: Mashiro: No Christmas nor Valentines eh // Until spring break it’ll be nothing but working on the name
Miyoshi: Whaaa? Giving you a present would be fine right?
Takagi: Yeah, just no dates
Frame 6: Miyoshi: Ah! That’s right, Miho’s releasing a CD next.
Takagi: Eh?!
Pg. 10
Frame 1: Miyoshi: “Sacred Beauties” is popular, and she ended up working at it for the year, didn’t she?
Note: "Sacred Beauties" is translated from "Sei Bijo" originally
*scritch* Note: writing sounds
*scratch* Note: writing sounds
Takagi: I don’t know about “didn’t she”…
Mashiro: I heard from her through e-mail
Frame 2: Miyoshi: The next cool ED will feature the top 3 most popular singing // And to top it off, Miho will be the center
And because it’ll show her singing, she said not to let Mashiro watch the TV.
Frame 3: Mashiro: Why do I have to be stopped?
Takagi: More importantly, why’d you go and reveal again that she’d told us to stop him.
Miyoshi: Because she’s being selfish isn’t she?
Frame 4: Takagi:
Anyhow, Azuki’s really following the path of an idol seiyuu
Seiyuu = voice actor
Frame 5: Mashiro: Why Azuki tried to stop us from watching soon became clear as it aired.
TV: So in love~!
Takagi: Uwa-! Your singing’s a little too bad isn’t it Miho-chan?!
Miyoshi: Ahaha! She definitely hasn’t been to karaoke! My stomach hurts!
Mashiro: As if it were my own matter, somehow, I started feeling really embarrassed
Pg. 11 Frame 1: TV: Sad I can’t meet you~!
Frame 2: Takagi: All things aside… isn’t that skirt too short? // It makes the heart race
Frame 3: Miyoshi: Even if you look, she’s properly wearing a pair under it! // How stupid!
Takagi: Even if I understand that…
Frame 4:
Miyoshi: Ah! As expected, Mashiro’s shocked? // To think she’s being watched by anime otaku, I’m also a little…
Mashiro: Nope, I was just thinking that while I can see how hard she’s trying, she can’t see herself
Miyoshi: Send her pictures then // Whaa? Miho says to “stop him” and you say “it’s embarrassing”, what’s with you two?
Mashiro: But it’s embarrassing isn’t it?
Frame 5: Mashiro: Well, Azuki's steadily becoming a popular seiyuu // Let’s also work hard
Miyoshi: Yeah!
Takagi: Shut up Miyoshi, it’s already two past midnight!
Pg. 12
Frame 1: Mashiro: As we entered December, as expected Shujin and I received respective calls from Hattori-san.
Takagi: Right // I’ll work hard, but for a work of two years, I thought I should finish reading and watching the novels and DVDs you sent me // I’ll be done soon
Frame 2: Takagi: Miyoshi’s watching the DVD, so I think he completely believes me.
Mashiro: Miyoshi, cut the TV
Frame 3: Mashiro: Yes // I really haven’t be able to make any names // but I’ll keep working at it
Frame 4: Takagi: Hattori-san thinks it’s going just as he planned
Mashiro: Yes, the fourth chapter is finished!
Frame 5: Mashiro: Like this, until spring break, we finished eight chapters
Done!
If you look at this, even Hattori-san will agree to present it at the serialization meeting
Pg. 13
Frame 1: Mashiro: And on April 1st, we brought in the finished name
Frame 2: Hattori: I didn’t hear anything about you both coming from Takagi-kun…
Since when have you guys gotten back together?
Takagi: Sorry, a month after being told by you to work on it for two years
Frame 3: Hattori: I see… I’ve been had…
No, it's proof that you guys really do fit well as a team
Frame 4: Hattori: Eight chapters for serialization eh…
Takagi & Mashiro: Yes
Frame 5: Hattori: I’ll have a look for myself
Pg. 14
Frame 2: Mashiro: How is it?
Frame 3: Hattori: It’s definitely interesting
Frame 4: Hattori: I really feel like I’ve been had…
Frame 5: There’s no chance you’ll wait till you’re out of highschool?
Mashiro: No chance
Frame 7: Mashiro: If you think it’s done well, please present it too at the next serialization meeting.
Pg. 15
Frame 1: Hattori: How many times do I have to tell you that there’s nothing good about doing a series while you’re still in highschool
Mashiro: Isn’t Nizuma-san doing it too? Alone!
Frame 3: Hattori: …I understand, but I have two conditions
Mashiro: Conditions?!
Frame 4: Hattori: First, get a good result with a oneshot of this in the next Gold Future Cup
Mashiro: Isn’t the Gold Future Cup in the summer?
Frame 5: Hattori: Second, at the same time, until the Gold Future Cup comes out, write and bring in a 19-paged chapter in every two weeks.
Takagi: One every two weeks… Even though serialization hasn’t been decided yet?!
Hattori: Yes // Usually it’d be one per week, but with Gold Future Jump and no assistants, I won’t increase your load. I’ll present this name at the next meeting.
Pg. 16
Frame 1: Takagi: No matter what, that’s asking too much
Mashiro: We’ll do it!
Frame 2: *tap* Hattori: Not just a script // You’ll be presenting it like this in full once every two weeks
Frame 3: Hattori: With each one you bring in, we’ll schedule the next meeting
Mashiro: We’re rehearsing for serializing…
Frame 4: Takagi: No-Normally would you do that much?
Hattori: No, we don’t, but I want you do that much
Frame 5: Hattori: If you don’t do at least that much, you can’t draw while going to highschool. // Unfortunately I think you guys are different from Nizuma-kun. Making battle-type and mystery-type mangas is completely different.
Writing one every two weeks will definitely help when you get serialized. // Even if it doesn’t get serialized, that hard work won’t be wasted.
Pg. 17 Frame 1: Mashiro: Thank you very much!
Frame 2: Mashiro: I didn’t know you’d put so much thought into this for us.
We’ll do it. We’ll show you we can do it.
Frame 3: Mashiro: And we’ll definitely get that serialization!!
Hattori: Alright! As long as you meet the conditions, even if you’re still in highschool, I’ll have you guys serialized // If you do that much, the upper guys can’t say no to you. // Above all else, this work is interesting!!
Frame 5: Mashiro: It seems we’ll finally get it presented at the serialization meeting eh
Takagi: Before that, we’ll have to write the oneshot and draw one chapter every two weeks // We did eight in half a year, so I don’t think we can’t, but do you really think it’s ok?
Mashiro: That’s why I said I’d do it even if I die
Takagi: You did… we’ve come this far, let’s get it done, even by willpower
Pg. 18
Frame 1: Fukuda: Oh
Mashiro: Ah, Fukuda-san
Takagi: Fukuda Shinta eh
Frame 2: Takagi: N-Nice to meet you, I’m Takagi
Fukuda: You too
Frame 3: Fukuda: How unexpected, had a meeting?
Mashiro: Yes, how about you?
Frame 4: Fukuda: The oneshot just earlier took seventh, and Yuujirou-san gave his usual, not good enough so polish it once more speech, and told me to draw one for the Gold Future Cup // Geez // That meeting
Mashiro & Takagi: Gold Future Cup!
Frame 5: Mashiro: W-We were also told that before our serialization, we need to write one for the Gold Future Cup.
Fukuda: So the Gold Future Cup will decide it?
Mashiro: No, it’s not 100%, but our manager told us that with this level, we’d definitely pass.
Pg. 19
Frame 1: Fukuda: Yuujirou also said because it would definitely pass… // There’s like four or five frames right? Will it really pass…?
Well, I’ll have it pass, but if it fails, I’ll kill him
Frame 2: Fukuda: I lost in Akamaru, but this time I’ll definitely not lose to Ashirogimuto
Frame 3: Mashiro & Takagi: We won’t lose either!
Fukuda: Yeah, if not, it wouldn’t be interesting
Frame 4: Fukuda: Let’s fight as great as we can // And the won to win will be the closest to serializing
That way there’s no complaints
Mashiro & Takagi: Yes!
Frame 5: Mashiro: Yeah, that’s how it is! First off is the top of the Gold Future Cup
Takagi: Yeah, we’ll definitely take it!
*Slanted text* To get serialized in Jump, they aim for the #1 oneshot!!
Bottom right: Next, A Rival for the Gold Future Cup One after another!! Cover pages in color!!https://mangahelpers.com/t/tsuchikage/releases/9950Translation: Bakuman 272009-03-01T19:05:33+00:00Tsuchikageadmin@mangahelpers.comBakuman 27

Top left: Page 27 The Schemer and the Ruse
Left: Is this expression of doubt a sign of his attachment to their combination...?!
Frame 1:
Mashiro: I still don't know what I should do
Hattori: It'd be better not to draw for a name other than Takagi's with half-baked feelings.
Mashiro: Yeah...
Frame 2:
Hattori: Well, don't forget to keep practicing, and show me again when your done with the name
Mashiro: I understand. Excuse me.
Note: "Excuse me" is a polite form of goodbye. If not "excuse me", then use "I'll take my leave now"
Frame 3:
Hattori: By the way, you and Takagi go to the same school right?
Mashiro: Yes, we're in the same class too.
Frame 4:
Hattori: !! the same class too...
It'd be better to move quickly...
Pg. 2
Frame 1:
Pi Pi Note: *beep* *beep*
Frame 2:
Takagi: Hattori-san again?
Frame 3-4 (top to bottom):
Hattori: Takagi-kun, can you come in alone tomorrow?
Takagi: Eh? I still haven't finished the name, but if you're ok with the draft... Ah, I don't have a printer so...
Hattori: Nevermind the name for now. Come in without telling Mashiro-kun you're writing a mystery name.
Takagi: Huh? Nevermind the name...? ...Without telling Mashiro? Even though I didn't have any intention to...?
Hattori: There's something I'd like to discuss, please
Takagi: ? Then how's around six?
Hattori: Great
Pg. 3
Frame 1:
Hattori: You're aiming to become a manga author right?
Takagi: Yes
Frame 2:
Hattori: There're many aiming to become mangakas, but at your age, few are aiming at becoming an author. // You have talent. If you keep at it, you will definitely succeed eventually.
TN Note: Mangaka = manga artist
Takagi: ...thanks. If only I could draw too, I would have pursued becoming a mangaka...
Frame 3:
Hattori: Now, I wanted to talk about Mashiro-kun with you
Takagi: ...ok
Hattori: I want you to answer honestly. Are you sick of teaming with Mashiro-kun?
Frame 4:
Takagi: It's nothing like that. Besides, I was the one who suggested we team up to make manga. I want to do it together with him.
Hattori: I see
Frame 5:
Takagi: I want to produce results that will get Mashiro to want to work with me again...
Hattori: Yeah, that's good
Takagi: Before Mashiro makes it solo...
Pg. 4
Frame 1: Hattori: Would you leave it up to me?
Frame 2: Hattori: If you do as I say, I'll definitely make it happen.
Takagi: ...as you say...?
Frame 3: Hattori: Frankly speaking, you and Mashiro-kun are even now practically in sync, to the point you could say even if you wanted to separate, you couldn't.
Takagi: ...?? What are you suggesting...?
Frame 4: Hattori: Mashiro-kun is right now thinking of writing a mystery manga on his own.
Frame 5: Takagi: Saiko is writing a mystery manga... what happened to mainstream battle-types...?
Ha-Hattori-san... Have you told Mashiro what I'm trying to do...?
Frame 6: Hattori: Nope, I was surprised // for two people who split to suggest the same thing on their own.
Pg. 5 Frame 1: Hattori: Until just before highschool graduation, could you hide this... no, could you make a name for the manga Mashiro-kun is trying to do?
Takagi: Eh-
Hattori: Mashiro-kun's always in a hurry to get a series published, right?
Frame 2: Hattori: In two years, if you polish up the name, it will definitely become awesome.
Takagi: ...wait...but...that's... Mashiro...
Frame 3: Hattori: With the way Jump is now, you publish a one-shot, if it's popular, it becomes "Ok-to-serialize" // Just three chapters are passed around the committee, and if it's interesting, it's "Ok-to-serialize"
With this, naturally there's a limit to new serializations that can survive. In the case of newbies it's especially tough. // What I've been thinking of for awhile is, instead, to serialize a carefully thought out, sure-fire piece. To accomplish that, I have only you two.
You and I will spend the next two years carefully designing a name. // I said before I'd only wait six months for a battle manga, but mystery mangas are a different story. // You should take as much time as you can, right? // There's no point in getting serialized while you're a highschool student. This is for you and Mashiro-kun.
Pg. 6
Frame 1: Hattori: I'll keep Mashiro-kun from pairing up with someone else or publishing on his own.
Frame 3: Takagi: ...that won't work
Frame 4: Takagi: If Mashiro attains that level on his own, shouldn't he be allowed to serialize? What are you thinking?!
Hattori: Takagi-kun!
Frame 5: Hattori: I haven't seen Mashiro's name yet, but I definitely believe that together you'd be more interesting. // Besides, do you think Mashiro-kun can write alone while he's still going to school? He'll be doing both art and story! Niizuma's an exception!
Frame 6: Takagi: Certainly, attending school while writing and drawing a name is...
Frame 7: Hattori: I talked with Mashiro-kun yesterday too. I could tell deep down, he still wants to work with you.
That he refused the offer to draw for the 2nd place story king is proof of that.
Pg. 7
Frame 1: Takagi: Th-Then, why should I hide that I'm writing a mystery?
Hattori: If you tell him, Mashiro will immediately start rushing to serialize it.
Frame 2: Hattori: Don't make me repeat it so many times. For Mashiro-kun... no, for both of you, you should keep on polishing the name.
Frame 5: Hattori: Do you understand me now...?
Frame 6: Hattori: Then, regarding the mystery Mashiro's trying to draw...
Takagi: Please stop!!
Frame 7: Takagi: With hearing that, I'll end up writing a story trying to match Mashiro's protagonist... // I want to take the first place of story king by my own skill. // If Mashiro's still working alone by then, if he's willing to work with me again, then I will join him.
Hattori: ...Takagi-kun...
Pg. 8
Frame 1: Hattori: ...I see... yeah, you're right... your point's more reasonable... // I guess it's the twisted thinking of an adult...
Frame 2: Hattori: Sorry... I'll be waiting for an interesting work of yours then.
Takagi: Yes.
Frame 3: Takagi: Excuse me
Frame 4: Hattori: Success! This is just fine, even if it's from Mashiro-kun side, Takagi-kun won't reveal that he's writing a mystery.
He'll come back with an interesting story no matter what.
Frame 6: Damn it... I got to come up with something to surprise Saiko
Pg. 9
Frame 2: Mashiro: Geez, you're sleeping all through class Shujin
Takagi: Hm? Ah, yeah, I decided I'll catch sleep at school, and use time at home to write the name.
Mashiro: You're really working at it.
Takagi: How goes it on your side?
Frame 3: Mashiro: It figures that making a name would be so hard. I understand what manga I want to write but... // as I thought, Shujin's talent is amazing.
Takagi: Why thank you
Frame 4: *small txt above mashiro's head* Sigh~
Frame 5: Takagi: Even so, Eiji's amazing, doing those color cover pages... // Who would've thought that Eiji would actually tie in an environmental issue into the story so well... I thought that would be his weakness, but he's given it depth.
Mashiro: Ahh, yeah, it's not just Eiji. While I was there, there were two others as well.
Frame 6: Takagi: His name was... Fukuda Shinta, right?
Mashiro: Yeah, he smoothly wrote out a name... Only now I come to see how talented everyone is...
Frame 7: Mashiro: Shujin, could you teach me how to write a name?
Takagi: Eh...? How to write a name? In my case...
Pg. 10
Frame 1: Takagi: First I flesh it out in my head
I also decide on the scenarios and lines around this point too
Then I match and split it up among the pages and the boxes
Frame 2: *small txt above Mashiro* I see...
Takagi: Hm?
Frame 3: Mashiro: I'm really not suited to write stories... Shujin makes it sound so easy...
Takagi: ...Saiko...
Frame 4: Mashiro: Well, even if I'm alone, I'll make it for sure, for Azuki's sake too
Frame 6: Mashiro: Shujin and I buried ourselves in creating names, and before we knew it, it was October.
Frame 8: Fukuda: Yo, this is Fukuda. You said you'd come up with something and returned home, but there hasn't been a single peep about you. Are you really properly working?!
Mashiro: ...Yeah... little by little
Pg. 11
Frame 1: Fukuda: Well, that's fine then. I've got a one-shot coming up in Jump. // I submitted a name for serialization, but they told me to show some results with one-shots first. As usual, the editorial department has no taste.
Mashiro: But isn't getting into Jump pretty amazing itself? Congratulations
Fukuda: It ain't, if you aren't popular, then bye bye to that // And since then, Nakai-san's been really energetic, he's been writing names like crazy, it's kinda amazing. Don't know what they're about though. // The art isn't just some draft's either, they're really good.
Eiji: Flying apple skin!
Frame 2: Fukuda: It was only for a little bit, but we were together // You're also part of the new Nizuma group... no, it's the Fukuda group, so work hard, we're going to change Jump, keep it up man.
Mashiro: Haha, the Fukuda group you say? I'll keep working at it
Frame 4: Mashiro: Fukuda-san and Nakai-san are gradually working names...
Frame 5: Mashiro: Azuki's on the late night anime again, now she's a regular in two.
TV: There are too many panels
Really?
Frame 6: Mashiro: Can I really make it as a mangaka...?
Alone...?
Pg. 12
Frame 1: *chirp*
Frame 2: Takagi: Yo
Bird: *chirp*
Mashiro: Yo
Frame 3: Mashiro: Shujin, your eyebags are really something
Takagi: You too Saiko
Frame 4: Takagi: Here, could you clean these up? You said one for 100 yen, right? Here's five.
Mashiro: Ooo, five... I still haven't finished even one...
Frame 5: The Invisible Skeleton Detective (Tentative title)
Mashiro: What's this?!
Takagi: A name
Frame 6: Mashiro: Not that, why a mystery...?
Did you hear from Hattori-san that I was working on a mystery?
Frame 7: Takagi: I heard
Pg. 13
Frame 1: Takagi: But I heard a month after starting a mystery// I was at Miyoshi's, and I saw on a cellphone novel site that they were accepting mystery submissions // Actually, it was the same day you called me at Miyoshi's
on the webpage: Nonfiction Mystery Comedy BL
Note: BL stands for Boy's Love
Frame 2: Mashiro: !! That's the day I quit being an assistant // Wait... that's the same day I wanted to write a mystery work!
Frame 3: Takagi: Whaaaat?! ....... // that's nuts... on the same day, in the same direction...
Mashiro: Gah! What's with that... // What was I worrying for!
Frame 4: Mashiro: Pfff
Frame 6: Ahahaha How stupid of us Haha
Pg. 14
Frame 1: Takagi: And then // Hattori-san knew we were thinking of the same thing, and told me to save up a mystery for two years without telling you anything.
Mashiro: I heard everything from Shujin
Frame 2: Mashiro?: Hattori-san's quite the schemer
Frame 3: Takagi: But, keeping it a secret from you for two years... I couldn't do it. That and I'd have to fool Azuki and Miyoshi as well.
Mashiro: But what are you going to do now that you've told me?
Takagi: Yeahh... all I can do is honestly tell Hattori-san // Ah!
Mashiro: Huh?
Frame 4: Takagi: No... it's just... this is too convenient, because of me you didn't do any names over summer and then got angry at me, which landed us here
Mashiro: ...well, frankly, I wasn't that angry
Frame 5: Takagi: Eh? Really?
Mashiro: Yeah... anyway you put it, I went and assumed playing with Miyoshi was the reason you didn't finish. // Maybe I was jealous of Miyoshi...
Takagi: That and these past few days I came to understand...
Pg. 15
Frame 1: Mashiro: I need Shujin.
Frame 2: Takagi: Saiko...
Frame 4: Takagi: Well then, I'll explain the plan that just came to mind
Why don't we fool Hattori-san?
Mashiro: Fool?
Frame 5: Takagi: We'll have Hattori-san believe we're working apart. Yeah, then for half a year, we'll say we can't come up a name. // What we'll really be doing is working together, and instead of just the three needed for serializing, we'll have written like ten chapters. // Hattori-san said to hide it from you because you're in such a hurry, but we can't wait that long, right? // My condition is that we take half a year to carefuly polish it.
10 Chapters!
Mashiro: Yeah, certainly, if it's a mystery, it'd be better to take more time, but yeah, two years is way too long // Alright
Frame 6: Mashiro: It's good! Tricking Hattori-san... No, it's the best!! As expected of Shujin! // I'm playing the part of the trickster detective!
Takagi: ...Hattori-san wanted to trick Saiko too, so it should be fine right // Eh? Really?!
Mashiro: Hattori-san said so didn't he? Mangakas must reach above their editors!
Takagi: Haha
Pg. 16
Frame 1: Mashiro: It's only been a month since we split hasn't it... // I'm glad it was over quick.
Takagi: Are you sure?
Mashiro: There's no reason to work separately, or should we have each written mystery and competed against each other?
Frame 2: Takagi: According to Hattori's plans, I'd write mystery stories and take first place in Story King. Saiko would see that and think "Whaaat, then we were thinking of the same thing!"
But if it's manga, forcing such a dramatic development works, but never that well.
Frame 3: Takagi: Now that we've decided that, I want to see Saiko's trickster detective, so let's head over to the studio!
Mashiro: Hah, so we're skipping today too eh?
Frame 5: Miyoshi: You guys! School is the other way!
Frame 6: Takagi: More importantly, aren't you late?
Miyoshi: That's why I'm pedalling so hard!

Frame 2: Mashiro: The combo's revived!! Miyoshi, you were worried weren't you?
Frame 5: Miyoshi: Geez, I was so worried!!
I cried alone so much at home! I felt so bad it was my fault, I wanted to kill myself!

But, she stopped me and told me not to say anything

Frame 2: Kagura: and even if you've discarded your heart and seek to destroy everything...

Frame 3: 1000 years ago, // she was the successor to the Kyuubi
Since ancient times, she has painfully waited for a successor to appear.
Pg. 91
Frame 1: Mitogawa: To help realize that moment,
Frame 2: Mitogawa: I chose to live.
Frame 3: Mitogawa: In the sealed archives of the Vatican...
I decided on that day I met her...
Frame 5: Kagura: What is...
the kyuubi exactly?
Pg. 92 Frame 1: Mitogawa: A god of creation and destruction // that manipulates matter at the molecular level
The ultimate vengeful spirit said to have even destroyed three dynasties in India and China
Frame 2: Mitogawa: Where it is from // and what it was born to accomplish
there's only one way to find out
Frame 3: Mitogawa: Of course... that's only if
you aren't devoured by the kyuubi
Pg. 93 Frame 1: Kagura: No matter what... I'll be turned completely into an evil spirit
Aside from this... there's no other way to save Ken-chan

Frame 3: Setsuna: Haha // Hahaha
Frame 4: Setsuna: There was no meaning to begin with...
We're only here to annihilate all the enemies before our eyes. Note: "before our eyes" meaning within their sight, or simply all those who become their enemies, it's not an issue of proof, just a huge slaughter of everyone and everything
Frame 5: Old lady: Setsuna...
Frame 6: Old lady: As I thought, from the start...
you planned on destroying the Jugondou as well

Eiji: The Crow was a character I drew back in elementary school too
Frame 2: Page 25: Jealousy and Love
Note: each chapter is referred to as a page in this manga
*slanted text* To find that character he drew wholeheartedly!!
Mashiro: I also admired Uncle. Back in those six years of elementary school, as long as I had time, I drew manga in that notebook.
Frame 3: Mashiro: Character's I loved around that time... they're there! Ones I'll have Shujin flesh out!
Why didn't I realize until now? It's thanks to Eiji and Fukuda-san...

Miyoshi: Yep, parents are both out working and my little brother has club activities
Frame 3: Miyoshi: My room's on the third floor // Quick quick
Frame 4: Shujin: Dang... haven't entered a girl's room since like kindergarten... it's more girlish than I thought
Frame 5: Miyoshi: Take a look! I've already heard from two companies that have taken a look at my cellphone novels.
Ah, you need a chair too
Pg. 3
Frame 1: Shujin: The one who mostly wrote "My Cellphone Novel" was me but... damn... Note: damn in the impressed tone, and My Cellphone Novel, the my is the female-term
Miyoshi: We have seen Miyoshi-sama's work, "A Love You Won't Meet", and are looking forward to its continuation. After we publish it on our company's homepage, depending on the popularity, we'd like to distribute-----
Frame 2: Miyoshi: So, great isn't it?
Shujin: It's because I'm the one who wrote it.
Frame 3: Miyoshi: Please continue, Takagi-sensei
Frame 4: Shujin: Give me a break... I have to write my own names. Besides, this is Miyoshi's dream, right? If I write it, won't there be no point? // Besides, if you wanted to show me this e-mail, couldn't you have just forwarded it to me.
Frame 5: Miyoshi: But I wanted to surprise you, I wanted for us to be happy together. // That and...
Frame 6: Miyoshi: I wanted to see you... If I didn't use an excuse, would you have come?
Pg. 4
Frame 1: Shujin: Then you could've come by my place. I told you I was working on a name.
Miyoshi: But, didn't you say your brother was there?
Shujin: It's summer vacation and he's free from work, so yeah.
Frame 2: Miyoshi: Being alone together's best
Frame 3: Shujin: We-Well, I'm thankful that because of the cellphone novels, I understand it's better to write the draft and come up with the scenarios of the name by computer instead of in a notebook.
Frame 4: Shujin: So if I don't go home and continue // even if I didn't have to, battles are hard to write and I'm struggling // Sorry, but if it was just helping out a little, that'd be fine, but having me write it all is not going to happen. I write manga!
Miyoshi: ...Understood...
Frame 5: Miyoshi: It'd be alright if you use my computer and write the scenarios here, // right?
Frame 7: Miyoshi: Takagi, you don't like being with me?
*little text* *leer* Note: it means to steadily approach or close in
Pg. 5
Frame 1: Shujin: I want to be with you but...
Miyoshi: Then it's fine, work here!
Frame 2: Shujin: In spite of that, for two companies to reply to just someone who wrote accordingly, cellphone novels might be pretty easy.
Miyoshi: Well, I did write it accordingly.
Frame 3: Shujin: No, well... with Saiko and Azuki as a model, just letting the words pour out was for the better.
Frame 4: Miyoshi: So, please write your manga scenarios here // Until my parents get back is fine.

Manga: New Serialization Chapter 1 Super Confident Hero Full of Confidence!!
Frame 2: Mashiro: A conman who tricks criminals without incriminating evidence into revealing theirselves.
It's the character I liked the best. I knew that people would see it was just a story made up by a elementary schooler, so I asked Uncle to take a look at it. I really thought of asking if he could draw it in Jump...
Frame 3: I'm not a detective, I'm a conman. For a single job, I charge a million dollars.
Without fail, I will trick the perpetrator into revealing the truth of the incident.
Frame 4: Mashiro: Although all I concerned myself with was battle mangas, it's just there's no major hit in Jump that's a detective manga, but within shounen magazines, the main of the mainstream, swindlers are the fad right now.
When I went to Shujin's place, the bookshelf mostly had mystery novels. I'll change the character design and then have Shujin write a story for it...
Frame 5: Mashiro: Shujin should be able to do it, in fact, he should be good at it! He's said before he wanted to write these kinds of stories. Better to strike while the iron's hot.
Pg. 11
Frame 1: kachi kachi kachi
Frame 2: Shujin: Oh, it's from Saiko
Miyoshi: Let me talk with him too! I want to tell him how I'm getting closer to my dream too.
Shujin: It's fine, I'll tell him.
Frame 3: Mashiro: !, Miyoshi's voice
Frame 4: Shujin: Saiko, Miyoshi's cellphone novel got replies from two companies, asking to continue writing.
It's crazy isn't it? It's all thanks to Saiko and Azuki too.
kachi kachi
Frame 5: Mashiro: Miyoshi's cellphone novel...
Frame 6: Shujin: That and although she's not on the front page, Azuki's getting really popular. An explosion of popularity's might only be a matter of time.
kachi kachi
Mashiro: ...Azuki's popular...
More importantly, Shujin's been typing away at the keyboard the whole time we're talking... Is he writing Miyoshi's cellphone novel...?
Pg. 12
Frame 1: Mashiro: Shujin, where are you right now?
Shujin: Ah, I'm at Miyoshi's
Frame 2: Mashiro: You're alone with her there?
Shujin: Mmmm... Note: in agreement if I didn't make that clear
kachi kachi
Miyoshi: Ah, Takagi, that lines good
Frame 3: Mashiro: Shujin, what about the name?
Shujin: Ah, I'm working on it. I told you I'd be writing it over the break didn't I?
kachi kachi
Mashiro: ...Does Shujin really care anymore...?
No, but Shujin did say as soon as summer break started he would be working on it the whole time...
Kachi kachi
Shujin: Hm? What's wrong?
Frame 4: Mashiro: If I trust Shujin, then I should wait... First I suggested we switch from cult to mainstream battle manga, and now suggesting I want to do the detective genre would be too selfish of me.
Frame 5: Shujin: What's wrong Saiko? kachi kachi
Pg. 13
Frame 1: Mashiro: You've really been working on it all break, right
Shujin: Ah, sorry, wait a little bit longer
Mashiro: Aight, I understand, I'll wait
Shujin: Mhm, well I'm busy right now, so I'll tell you when I finish
*beep*
Frame 3: Mashiro: I'll try trusting in Shujin
Only if the battle manga Shujin writes isn't enough, then it'll be fine if I propose changing to the detective genre.
Frame 4: Mashiro: Like that, I thought of how I want to write a detective manga with Shujin. So I continued practicing drawing battle manga while fleshing out how to propose it.
While I waited for Shujin to finish the name, I continued to draw for four weeks.
Frame 6: Mashiro: There's only three days left of break... and Shujin hasn't contacted me at all...
Should I check up on him? He's probably isn't with Miyoshi at this time of night.
*beep*
Pg. 14
Frame 1: Mashiro: Yo--
Shujin: Yo // Saiko, just a minute
Frame 2: Shujin: I'm at a netcafe with Miyoshi right now, so I need to go outside to talk
Miyoshi: Takagi-sensei, here's more tea- ah, a call?
Frame 3: Mashiro: They're working together on the cellphone novel at a time like this?
Frame 4: Shujin: Sorry, what's up?
Frame 5: Mashiro: Hey, I was wondering what was going on with the name, if you need help, just tell me.
Shujin: Ah, sorry, I'll finish it on my own, just wait a little bit longer
Frame 6: Mashiro: ...a little bit longer...? Even though break's almost over already?
Is he really working on it? I don't think he really is.
Pg. 15
Frame 1: Mashiro: Shujin, I didn't want to ask this, but...
Shujin: ...Eh? What?
Frame 2: Mashiro: Why are you with Miyoshi so much?
Shujin: You ask why...?
Frame 3: Shujin: Naturally, it's because I like her.
Mashiro: ...but you shouldn't neglect the name because of that
Frame 4: Shujin: What do you mean by "neglecting"! I'm working as hard as I can too!
Mashiro: With Miyoshi at her house or at netcafes?
Frame 5: Shujin: Yeah
Frame 6: Shujin: If Saiko's going to go that far, then I have something to say too // Wanting to be with someone you like is natural. Saiko and Azuki just aren't normal, it's strange.
If you like each other, then being with each other as much as possible is normal.
Pg. 16
Frame 1: Mashiro: Azuki and I aren't normal? We're strange?
Frame 2: Mashiro: Ahhh, that may be true, but there's only three days of break left you know?
Shujin: I know
Frame 4: Mashiro: Azuki and I are strange. If we like each other, then wanting to be together should be normal.
Frame 5: Mashiro: It's not like I don't want to be with Azuki too.
But...
Frame 6: Mashiro: ...Azuki...
Pg. 17
Frame 2: To: Azuki Miho Sub: A Question...
Azuki-san, please don't be mad. I'd like you to tell me, why are you alright with not seeing me?
Frame 3: *beep*
Frame 5: Azuki: Mashiro-kun...
Frame 7: Azuki: "alright with not seeing me?"...
Pg. 18
Frame 1: Mashiro: Azuki, who usually replies immediately, didn't reply that night.
I went and asked something stupid again...
No, it's just she's become popular and is too busy, or maybe she had to wake up early and was already asleep...
Frame 2: Mashiro: I felt that Azuki was gradually pulling away, and Shujin was going more to Miyoshi's side.
Frame 3: Azuki: I want to see you too... I want it to be like Kaya's, I think dating would be fun too
Frame 4: Azuki: If Mashiro-kun wished, I'd go see him everyday. I'd talk to my dad and move back to Yakusa. Should I tell him that?
But, if I word it like that...
Mashiro-kun would probably apologize...
And would we keep on going back and forth like that?
Frame 6: Mashiro: The next day, I woke up to Azuki's mail.
Pg. 19
Frame 1: From: Azuki Miho
Sub: Re: Good morning
I'm treasuring my promise with Mashiro-kun to fulfill our dreams, so I think that seeing each other after our dreams come true will be filled with more joy and love.

Frame 4:
Katsuyu: It is probably the same as the technique that smashed the village
With the larger amount of power used // the greater the interval before the technique's next use.
Frame 5:
Naruto: So that's why he couldn't use that pushing technique...
...So what to do...? // For neither ninjutsu nor taijutsu to work...
Pg. 9
Frame 1: Katsuyu: Chouji-kun told us
The interval between uses of that technique are basically about five seconds. // All you can do is aim an attack within those five seconds
Frame 2: Naruto: So just five seconds...
Frame 3: Pa: As expected, we'll have to rely on Genjutsu
The same as last time!
Frame 4: Naruto: But how? // I can't use genjutsu.
Frame 5: Pa: We'll be doing it!
Frame 6: Pein: Shinratensei
Pg. 10
Frame 1: Guaa!!
Nuo!!
Gu-!
Frame 2: Gamabunta: Guo
Frame 3: Naruto: Gama-oyabun!!
Frame 5: Ugu-!!
Pg. 12
Frame 2:
Guy on right: What's that?
Guy on left: What in the world is going on?
Frame 3:
Katsuyu: Naruto-kun is certainly fighting with Pein right now
Guy: Naruto is?!
Frame 4: Chouji: Fighting you say?! // On his own?!
Katsuyu: Yes... He said stand back
Frame 5:
Kiba: If it's like that, we can only believe in Naruto...
Frame 4: Hinata: But! Naruto-kun is fighting for the village...!
Frame 5: Guy: In a fight like that, we'd only be holding back Naruto-kun...
We would only trouble Naruto-kun!
Frame 7: Hinata: Naruto-kun...
Pg. 14 Frame 1: Naruto: Damn it... Even the oyabuns...!
Frame 2: Pa: Let's start with the genjutsu already
But, this genjutsu uses a large amount of sage chakra // In other words, it will take awhile to activate the technique
Frame 3: Naruto: I'll aim for the 5-second inteval!
After you've gathered the Sage chakra, do it!!
Frame 4: Pa: But there's only one remaining shadow clone of Naruto-chan to gather Sage chakra with
If that's lost, as I've said, you won't be able to gather Sage chakra in the middle of battle. // You won't be able to hold Sage mode for more than five minutes
Frame 5: Ma: You've thought out how to gather the Sage chakra which requires standing still // Why didn't you create more shadow clones?
Frame 6: Pa: It's looking right at the same time as looking left
He's apportioned the roles, but it's difficult to gather Sage chakra // ...two shadow clones was the limit
Pg. 15 Frame 1: Naruto: Moreover, the battling body over here can only manage three at a time...
If I create too many over here, the ones gathering Sage chakra will be disrupted
Frame 2: Ma: So that's how it is...
Anyhow you put it, dragging it on will be bad...
Pg. 16 Frame 1: Pein: You're definitely strong... for Pein to be done in this badly is a first
Frame 4: Pein: But...
Banshoutenin (Universal Sky Gravitation)
Pg. 17
Frame 2: Pein: Let's end it here
Frame 4: Pa: Sorry Naruto-chan! Hold out for a little longer!
Frame 5: Hinata: Naruto-kun!
Pg. 18
Frame 1: Pein: Don't worry, I won't kill you
Frame 2: Pein: You're an important Jinchuuriki after all
Frame 3: Naruto: Ha... // Something like this doesn't hurt at all!
Don't underestimate Sage mode! Next will be my turn...
Frame 5: Pein: Indeed... // That is troublesome
Pg. 19
Sidetext: The power of Pein who surpasses even Sage Naruto...!! Frame 1: Naruto: What the? Power's being drained...
Frame 2: Naruto: So that's it... this guy...!
He's sucking the sage chakra... from me?!
Frame 6: Pein: Capturing of the Kyuubi, complete
Bottom: What will become of Naruto now that his sage chakra's been sucked out?!

Honestly, this is just a personally kept list that I plan on regularly updating as I grow as one. But I've noticed there are a lot of expressions that are rather difficult to translate (whether due to the variety of translations available in terms of context or just a lacking equivalent) and more often than not, dictionaries are insufficient. If you have a better idea of how to translate one of the words below, tell me, cuz I'm all open to suggestions.
ふざけるな -Don't mess with me -you're not serious!? -stop playing games
勝手 -selfish -unfair -willful

433: Sage Technique Failure...?!?!
Frame 2:
Naruto: Even in Sage mode, I can only manage two Rasen Shurikens. // There are two people left, so that comes out to four shots only.
Frame 3:
Ma: Pa, the kid's Sage Mode wore out!
Pa: I can see that!
Frame 4:
Ma: It's dangerous but at this point, the only thing we can do is fuse!
Pa: But that's impossible...
Frame 5:
Pein: If you're going to, now's your chance
Pg. 2
Frame 2:
Ma: What?! // You're telling me, just because of the Kyuubi, we can't fuse?!
Pa: It would seem so...
Ma: Then what to do?!
Frame 3:
Pa: Naruto's found a way...
From here on out, he's going to use it!
Pg. 3
Frame 1:
Gamabunta: Little by little!
Frame 5:
Naruto: Damn!
Pg. 4
Frame 1:
Pa: Over here Naruto-chan! Pass it! I'll do it!
Frame 5:
Naruto: Come!!

Frame 3:
Gamabunta: Take care of the key! // Leave this to me!

Frame 3:
Pa: Reverse Summoning Jutsu!!
Pg. 7
Frame 4:
Pa: I called him in! Release the Jutsu!
Pg. 8
Frame 5:
Ma: So there was that hand!
Pa: Naruto-chan made som shadow clones before hand
Pg. 9
Frame 1:
Pa: He had those shadow clones gather Sage chakra and wait.
Frame 2:
Pa: Next, with a scroll that can summon at any time from Myoubokuzan
After summoning, he dispels the shadow clone, and the sage chakra transfers to the original
Pg. 10
Frame 4:
Naruto: This guy is...?!
Pg. 11
Frame 4: Naruto: I see... this is the one that absorbs ninjutsu.
Other Naruto: But we beat him just earlier didn't we?
Pg. 12
Frame 2:
Naruto: What the hell is that?!
Katsuyu: It would appear that that Pein is the key one
Frame 3:
Naruto: So that's the one the Sennin old man said could revive dead bodies
Katsuyu: That Pein probably carries that ability
Frame 4:
Katsuyu: That's why when the enemy put that formation together // That Pein stayed to the very back
Frame 5:
Katsuyu: And the most troublesome is the Pein on the left... // Repelling all techniques and pulling in all things
Right now, he isn't using that power... but that's also strange... //
Frame 6:
Katsuyu: There may be a reason why he can't use it right now
Pg. 13
Frame 2:
Naruto: Whatever it is, we have to finish off the one in the back first!
Frame 3:
Naruto: With smoke bombs too!
Frame 4:
Naruto: Alright!

Frame 1:
Naruto: Kage bunshin!! (Shadow clone!)
*Slanted text*: Pummel the answers out of him!!
Frame 2:
Pein: So that's how it is... You've become a Sage...
You've learned the same techniques as Jiraiya-sensei it would seem...
Frame 3:
Naruto: Jiraiya... // -sensei you say??
Frame 4:
Pein: I was also taught by Jiraiya // Jiraiya was once my master.
Frame 5:
Pein: To you, I'd be your senior... a fellow student who revered the same master as you. // We should be able to come to an understanding but...
Frame 6:
Pein: What our Master desired was peace
Pg. 2:
Frame 1:
Naruto: Don't screw with me!!
*Slanted text*: There's nothing to understand!! Rasen Shuriken!!!
Chapter 432: Rasen Shuriken Once Again!!
Frame 3: Naruto: What you guys have done...
Pg. 3:
Frame 1: Naruto: How in the hell will it lead to peace?!
Frame 2: Pein: You're looking at the tree, not seeing the forest. It's just that you don't understand the meaning of peace.
Frame 3: Pein: Quietly let yourself be captured // your death will lead to peace
Frame 5: Granny Frog: What chakra... // Did Pa teach him that?
Granpa Frog: No... this is my first time seeing it too // During training, not once did he gather that much... What is Naruto planning on doing...?
Frame 6: Naruto: I told you--
Pg. 4
Frame 1: Don't screw with me!!!
Pg. 5
Frame 1: Granny Frog: He threw it!
Frame 2: Granpa Frog: What?!
Frame 3: Granpa Frog: To throw chakra so dense and spinning so fast!
Pg. 7 Frame 2: Granpa Frog: It expanded?!!
Pg. 8 Frame 2: Pein (one of the bodies): Kuchiyose no Jutsu!! (Summoning Technique!)
Pg. 9 Frame 2: Pein: It's as Deidara said // he's not the type to listen
Frame 4: Shikamaru: Wha-? What in the hell is going on?!
Is someone fighting?!
Frame 5: Katsuyu: It's Naruto-kun.
Frame 6: Shikamaru: Naruto?! He's back?!
Katsuyu: Yes... He's learned Sage techniques and is fighting alone with Pein
Frame 7: Shikamaru: With this leg...
Damn it!
Pg. 10
Frame 1: Katsuyu: Naruto-kun said not to help.
Shikamaru: What the hell is he playing cool for!
Against a guy who did this to the village!! If he fights him alone...
Shikamaru's Dad: No...
Frame 3: Shikamaru's Dad: If he's mastered the Sage Techniques, that means he's on a whole different level now.
Staying out of his way would be the best teamwork we can offer// We'll have to wait, Shikamaru
Frame 4: Shikamaru: Damn it...
Frame 5: Dog: Gyauuu
Pg. 11 Frame 1: Gamabunta: Uo (Whoa)
Frame 4: Gamahiro: Guwa! (scream from being bitten)
Frame 5: Gamaken: Wha-! This guy again!
Pg. 12
Frame 1: Granpa Frog: Ma I got it // We're going to cut off the connected vision of the Rinnegan
Granny Frog: I hear ya, Pa!!
Frame 4: Pein: It would appear that the power of his sage techniques have dropped...
So he used up his sage chakra on that technique just now
Frame 5: Naruto: This is bad... Sage mode's going to wear off soon!
If I don't at least take care of this one...!
Pg. 13 Frame 1: Gamabunta: Boss!
Frame 2: Granpa Frog: Listen carefully, we're going to throw Bun-chan at Naruto-chan! Note: you'll see what they mean by throwing Gamabunta
From here on out, listen carefully to my directions!
Pg. 17 Frame 6: Pein: So you've used up your Sage techniques...
On the side: From fierce attack to fierce attack!! But...

I was wondering whether there's a literal translation that could include the meaning of "だという", rather than just translating it into a question. All I can think of is some kind of emphasis, but I'm not sure how I would include it in a translation.
Ex: Setsuna: あれが… That's...
Frame 2: Setsuna: 殺生石の妖力から解放された after being released from Sesshouseki's Youryoku
Frame 3: Setsuna: 白叡の… Byakuei's 真の姿だというのか!? true form?!https://mangahelpers.com/t/tsuchikage/releases/8040テーフォム＋いられるI think2008-12-24T20:16:11+00:00Tsuchikageadmin@mangahelpers.comHere's the mentioned piece that I had trouble translating, it's on Page 6, and is what Kagura replies to Shizuru.
Kagura Tsuchimiya: んなこと言ってられないよ
Frame 3: Shizuru Imawano: てか…本気で呪禁道のビルへ突っ込むつもりなの!? Wait, are you seriously planning on plunging into Jugondou's building?! (I realize "plunging" is pathetic vocabulary, but I'm not sure what else to use) 無謀すぎるわよ That's too reckless!
Page 6: Frame 1: Kagura Tsuchimiya: んなこと言ってられないよ I can't say something like that! (Sorry, I think I've made an error on that sentence) こうしてる間にも While we're taking our sweet time here 剣ちゃんが殺されちゃうかもしれないってのに Ken-chan could be killedhttps://mangahelpers.com/t/tsuchikage/releases/8032テーフォム＋何々 Dictionary (anyone interested?)2008-12-24T05:12:17+00:00Tsuchikageadmin@mangahelpers.comTo elaborate, I mean grammatical structures such as て＋たまらない or テ＋しまう, two of which I do know, but two among a number that I still don't know. One that I came across and didn't quite know how to translate is て＋いられる.

Frame 2: Kensuke Nimura: は…？ Ha...? なにイキナリ… What? All of a sudden... まだ…なんも話してないけど… But I haven't... said anything yet...

Page 12: [ザン][Zan]
総力戦だよ It's an all out war 神楽を呼べ Call Kagura これ以上勝手をさせるな Don't let them have their way anymore. (Better alternative?: Rein them in)
Page 13: Frame 1: Kagura Tsuchimiya: ―長老会がもう都内に… The elders are already in the city...
Kyouko Mine: ハイ 危うく行き違いになるところでした Yes, it came dangerously close to splitting apart.
Frame 2: Kyouko Mine: 呼び出されたのはそっちと同じ無人島です We've been called to the same place, the uninhabited island. 出発は三時間後 Departure will be three hours later 神楽さんは都内に残り殺生石を守れとの命令です Kagura-san's orders are to stay behind in the city and protect the Sesshouseki.
Frame 4: Kagura Tsuchimiya: 島に剣ちゃんが囚われてる Ken-chan's captive on the island.
Frame 5: Kagura Tsuchimiya: 命令に背いてでも Even if I disobey orders 単独で動くしかない We can only move solo

[ザッ][Za-]
Frame 8-9: Mitogawa: さて…どうします？ Well now, what shall we do?
Frame 10: Mitogawa: 勝つには奇跡が必要でしょうね To win, a miracle is needed isn't it
Page 16: Frame 1: [ゴゴゴ][Go Go Go]
Mitogawa: 刹那さんには｢サトリの眼」という読心術が… On Setsuna-san's side, they have the mind-reading ability, Eye of Satori こちらの作戦はすでにバレてしまったでしょう Our plans have already been discovered, no doubt
Frame 2: Mitogawa: それでも Even so まだ立ち向かう勇気がありますか？ Do you still have the courage to take them on?
Frame 3: Shizuru: 三途河 Mitogawa
Between Frame 4 and 5: Kagura: 死ぬほど怖い… I'm scared to death でも But
Frame 5: Kagura ―たとえ策が読まれてたって Even if our plans have been read

Frame 3: Kensuke: 死ぬ… I'm going to die...
Frame 4: Kensuke: 体中痛い Whole body hurts... てか どこだここ… More importantly, where the hell is this?
Frame 5: Setsuna: 70年代まで鉱脈で栄えた島だ An island that up until the 70's flourished on a vein of ore. 現在は封鎖されて無人だがな Though right now, it's sealed with no people.
Page 19: Frame 1-2: Setsuna: 胸に埋め込まれた殺生石が… The Sesshouseki buried in your chest is ギリギリオマエを生かしている just barely keeping you alive. 死ぬのは土宮達が来るまで待て Wait until Tsuchimiya and them get here before you die
Frame 3: Kensuke: チキショ―囚われの姫かよ俺は Damn it! Am I the damsel in distress or what? 情けねえ… I'm pathetic なんで大事な時にこうなんだ Why at an important time like this am I...
Frame 4-5: Kensuke: 何があっても神楽を守るって… No matter what happens, I'll protect Kagura 自分に何度も誓ってるハズなのに… Even though I swore countless times to myself
Frame 6: Setsuna: こんな時まで神楽のことか… Even at a time like this, your thinking about Kagura (in furigana: your woman) 分からんな Don't get it.
Page 20: Frame 1: Setsuna: フツーなら命乞いをするところだろう? Normally you'd be begging for your life right about now, right? 神楽を想う事に Thinking of about Kagura それほど得があるのか? Is there that much of a point in it?
Frame 3: Kensuke: てか… More importantly ―心が読めても… even if you can read the heart 分かんねーことあるんだ There are things you don't understand
Frame 5: Setsuna: あるさ There are. 部下に言えんがな I won't tell my subordinates though.
Page 21: Frame 1: Setsuna: この眼は… This eye is... 私が背負った最大の業だ the biggest karma I've carried ―人の心を読む幻の獣｢サトリ」 The illusive (no it's not a sp error) beast, Satori, that can read people's hearts その眼などを見つけてしまったがために That I found that eye and such things is the reason that 私は父に怖れられ I am feared by my father
Frame 2: Setsuna: そして And
ひとりになった became alone
Frame 3: Setsuna: この眼には…裏切りと恐怖しか映らん In this eye... only betrayal and fear are reflected
Page 22: Frame 1: Kensuke: なんで… Why そんなこと俺に… are you telling something like that to me...
Frame 2: Setsuna: なぜかな… Why indeed... どうせ殺すからか Because either way I'll kill you?
Frame 3: Setsuna: お前に話したところで支障あるまい? Because there's no harm in telling you? なぜか For some reason そう思えたのさ I just felt that...
Page 23: [ゴゴゴゴ][Go Go Go Go] Some old guy: おひとりですか… Are you alone? 予定より少々早いですが… You're a little early then the appointed time, but... 刹那様がお待ちです Setsuna-sama is waiting.
Frame 3: [オオオ][O O O]

Page 26: Frame 1: Kensuke: 神楽ッ! Kagura!
Frame 2: [オオオ][O O O] Kagura: 剣ちゃん… Ken-chan... 室長… Department Head...
Frame 3: Kagura: 言われた通り… As you told me 決着をつけに来た… I've come to settle things 二人を放して Let the two go
Kensuke: バカッ Crazy! 死ぬ気かオマエッ Do you have a death wish?!
Page 27: Frame 1: Setsuna: 仲間はどうした? What happened to your friends? どうせどこかに隠れてるんだろう? Either way they're hiding somewhere aren't they?
Frame 3: Kagura: 心を読めば? Read my heart? どうせ私にも分からない Either way I don't know either
Frame 7: Kagura: 悪いケド…決闘につきあう気はない Sorry but, I've no intention of fighting a battle
Page 36: Frame 1: [ブオッ][Bu-o-] Kagura: 今度はそっちに人質になってもらう This time, we'll have you play hostage 私達がここを抜け出すための A hostage to let us get away from here
Frame 2: Shizuru: 弐村！早く乗って Nimura! Quick! Get on! 急いで Hurry!
Frame 4: Setsuna: 打ち合わせ無しの奇襲か A surprise attack with no appointment eh? 無謀ともいえるが… You could say reckless... 偶然にしては鮮やかじゃないか Even as a fluke, it's brilliant.
Page 37: Frame 1: Kagura: 喋らないで！ Don't talk
Frame 2: Setsuna: 経験… Experience... そして戦場での勘… and intuition on the battlefield
Frame 3: Setsuna: お互いの信頼がなければこうはいかん… Without trust in each other, this couldn't be possible
Frame 6: [ズ…][Zu...]
Setsuna: だが But...
所詮 子供の考えだ In the end, it's nothing but a child's idea.
Page 38: Frame 1: Department head: 偽者だ神楽!! It's a fake Kagura!
Frame 2: [ズバアア][Zu-ba-a-a]
Frame 3: Kagura: これは… These are... 式神!? shikigami??
Frame 4: Setsuna: ―私はオマエらが気に入ったよ… --I have taken a liking to you guys... それでこそ泳がせた甲斐があったというものだ That is precisely why there was value in letting you roam free.
