P1
想像の翼で、きっと空だって飛べるはず。。。！ On the wings of our imagination, we can even fly through the sky…!
片岡愁二の情報と引き換えにね In return for information on Kataoka Shuuji.
ヌードおおおお Nudeeee
P3
入学したときから目をつけて口説いてなのよ I’ve been trying to get her to do it ever since she got into this school.
卒業までにぜひ遠子の絵を描き上げたかったの I wanted to draw her portrait before I graduate.
やっぱり真の美少女は天然のままが一番よね Like I thought, a true beauty is best in its natural state.
やっとその気になってくれて超ラッキー I’m so lucky that you finally feel like doing it.
やあ～～～～ No~
ち 違うもんっ That’s wrong.
全部ぬぐとは言ってないもん I didn’t say I’d take everything off.
そ。。。 それは。。。 情報しだいだもん T….That… depends on the information.
P4
ふふん とりあえずはじめましょう Fufun. Anyway, let’s start.
あ 心葉くんはそのへんの椅子に適当に腰かけてて Ah. Konoha-kun, you can take a seat on the bench.
遠子のヌードをじっくり鑑賞してあげてね You can carefully appreciate Tooko’s nude body.
だからヌードじゃないってばぁ！ Like I said, I won’t be nude!
遠子先輩 Senpai’s…
全然胸ないですよ chest is flat, you know.
見事にぺったんこですよ It’s splendidly flat.
本当に遠子先輩なんかでいいんですか Is it really alright to have her model?
心葉くん！ Konoha-kun!
P5
あらびっくり Well that’s a surpise.
おたく遠子の裸見たことあるの？ Have you seen her naked before?
服をきててもじゅうぶん想定できます I can tell just by looking at her clothes.
どう見てもつるつるじゃないですか No matter how you look at it, she’s flat.
もっと凹凸のある人をモデルにしたほうがいいと思いますけど I think it’s better if you get someone who has more curves to be you model.
ひど～～～～～い！ So mean~~~~~!
そ そりゃ たいしたことないかもしれないけど W-Well it’s nothing special but…
ちょっとはふくらみあるもん！ I do have some curves!
つるつるじゃないもん I’m not completely flat.
P6
いい性格してるわね～少年 You’ve got quite a personality, kid.
そうよね～ 遠子はつるんつるんよねぇ You right, Tooko is flat is she.
今すぐ笑うのやめなきゃ帰るわよ麻貴！ Maki, if you don’t stop laughing right now, I’m leaving!
くっ。。。 Gu… ぷぷ。。。 Pupu…
了解 Got it.
もぉ Geez.
みんなしえバカにして Everyone’s treating me like an idiot.
P7
でもね遠子 But you know Tooko,
あなたの絵を描けるのは本当に嬉しいわ I’m truly happy to be drawing your portrait.
あたしはオケ部じゃなくて美術部に入りたかったの I wanted to join the art club, not the orchestra club.
な～んか変な慣習でじいさんたちにオケ部に押し込まれちゃったけどさ But due to some weird custom, I was forced into the orchestra club.
この部屋はオケ部に入部する条件としてもらったのよ I got this room as a condition for me joining the club.
興味のある対象を見つけて Finding someone worthy…
それをとことんまで突き詰めて Investigating them thoroughly…
真の姿を書き出そうと試行錯誤する時間は至福だわ And through trial and error, drawing their true form, is like bliss to me.
P8
教えて麻貴 Tell me Maki…
愁二先輩は本当に自殺だったの？ Did Kataoka Shuuji really commit suicide?
屋上から飛び降りたとき胸に協業用のナイフを刺していたでしょう When he fell off the roof, there was an industrial use knife in his chest right?
誰かに刺された可能性はないの？ Isn’t there a chance that someone stabbed him?
確かに他殺という線もあったようだけど There certainly was a possibility of murder but…
ナイフには片岡愁二の指紋しかのこってなかったそうよ Only Kataoka Shuuji’s fingerprints were on the knife.
P9
それに片岡愁二には自殺する動機があったし He also had a motive for suicide.
彼の自宅から遺書も見つかった A will was found at his home.
それで警察は自殺と断定したのよ So the police concluded that it was a suicide.
動機って。。。？ Motive…?
P10
意外だ That’s surpising.
色気。。。 Sex appeal…
出せるんじゃないか So you can bring it out
遠子先輩 Tooko-senpai.
P11
当時 片岡愁二は同級生の城島咲子という女の子とつきあってなの At the time, he was going out with a classmate, Kijima Sakiko.
仲のいいカップルだったらしいわ The two got along really well.
咲子はおとなしくて優しい雰囲気の美少女 Sakiko was quiet but beautiful and kind.
愁二は彼女のことをとても大事にしていえ Shuuji treated her very well.
周囲におろけまくっていたそうよ They spoke well of each other.
咲子のほうも愁二に夢中で Sakiko was in love with Shuuji too.
愁二の部活がおわるのを弓道部の前で待っていたらしいわ She would wait for Shuuji infront of the archery club.
それで毎日二人で仲良く帰ったんですって Then the two would go home together every day.
でもね。。。 But you see…
二人が三年生になって少したったある日 A few days after they became third years.
P12
愁二が部活の用事で遅くなって Shuuji was late because he had club activites.
たまたま一人で帰った咲子は So Sakiko went home by herself.
事故に遭って亡くなってしまったのよ But she got caught in an accident and died.
事故。。。 Accident…
信号は赤に変わっていたのに Even though the traffic light had turned red…
咲子が道路に飛び出してきたらしいわ Sakiko still went on to the road.
それで 曲がり角からきたトラックにはねられてー そくしだったそうよ She was run over by a truck that was coming around the corner, dying instantly.
P13
。。。何故城島咲子は赤信号なのに Why did she try to cross the road…
道路を渡ろうとしたのかしら Even though the light was red.
さあ Who knows.
とにかく 咲子は亡くなり Anyway, With Sakiko gone…
愁二は最愛の恋人を失ってしまった Shuuji also lost the person he loved the most.
あのときいつのように自分と一緒に帰っていればと相当悔やんでいたそうよ He regretted not going home together with her.
そして その1か月後― Then 1 month later-
P14
自殺したの He committed suicide.
いけない It’s wrong.
これは十年も前の出来事だ This is something that happened more than 10 years ago.
あのこととは無関係だ It has nothing to do with that.
P15
愁二先輩の遺書にはなんて書いてあったの？ What was written in Shuuji-senpai’s will?
咲子がしんだのは自分のせいだ It was my fault that Sakiko died.
咲子がいないことに耐えられないから I can’t bear to live on without her so…
自分も彼女のところへ逝きますって I will go to where she is.
それからー・・・ And…
生まれてきてごめんなさいって I’m sorry for being born.
P16
片岡愁二というのは Just what kind of person…
一体どんな人だったんですか？ Was Kataoka Shuuji?
気さくで明るくて冗談をいってふざけてばかりて He was sociable and was always joking around.
彼がそこにいるだけで 笑いが絶えない 人気者だったそうよ Just by him being there, people would laugh, a popular person.
それでいて一人でいるときは真面目な顔をしていてどこかさびしそうなんですって But when he was alone, he would have a serious face that looked lonely.
女の子はそうゆうのに弱いわよね Girls were weak to that kind of thing.
えらくモテたらしいわ He was really popular.
P17
女の子はみんな彼のことをとっても優しい人だって All the girls were kind to him.
それでね And…
ときどき 恥ずかしそうな顔をしてみせるところが魅力的だって The face he makes when he’s embarrassed is really charming.
弓道の練習中女の子が大勢集まってきて練習にならないって When the archery club had practice, all the girls would gather around, interrupting practice.
愁二はマネージャーにしょっちゅう叱られてたらしいわ He was always getting scolded by the manager.
それでもけろっとして笑っててまた怒られるといった具合で He would laugh it off, and get manager would get mad at him again.
それを見てみんなが笑ってー Everyone watching would laugh too.
愁二の周りはとにかくにぎやかだったらしいわ It was always lively around him.
それは竹田さんが話してくれた愁二先輩のイメージと同じだ It’s the same as what Takeda-san told me.
明るくて楽しくて優しい先輩― A bright, kind and fun senpai.
けれど朗らかで人気者の彼は But the cheerful and popular side is…
彼自身が創り出した哀しい道化で本来の彼ではなかった A side that he himself created, a sorrowful clown, and not his real self.
P18
“自分は人を愛することがでいないお化けだ” “I am a monster that cannot love.”
“生きていることが恥ずかしい” “Living is embarrassing.”
“このことがみんなに知れたら耐えられない” “If people found out about it, I wouldn’t be able to stand it.”
“いっそ死んでしまいたい” “I just want it to end.”
竹田さんの持っていた手紙の中で彼は繰り返しそう訴えていた He repeated that in Takeda-san’s letter.
太宰治の“人間失格”の中に挟んであったその手紙― The letter that was inserted into Osamu Dazai’s “Ningen Shikkaku”.
それはもう一つの遺書だ That was like another will.
片岡愁二はどういうつもりでもう一通別の遺書を用意したのだろう What was he trying to do, preparing another will?
それは本当は誰に向けて書かれた手紙だったのだろう Did he write that with a recipient in mind?
彼の理解者であり Was it someone who understands him?
彼を破滅させる者だったS だろうか？ Was it S, the person who will bring forth his destruction?
それとも別の誰かか？ Or maybe someone else?
P19
愁二先輩には特別に親しい友達はいたの？ Was there anyone that he was especially kind to?
“親しい友達”は大勢いたようだけど He had a lot of “kind friends”.
“特別”となると難しいわね But “special” is a little tough.
クラスメイトで弓道部の仲間でもあった真鍋茂 添田康之― Manabe Shigeru and Soeda Yasuyuki, who were both his classmates as well as members of the archery club.
この二人と一緒にいることが多かったみたい They were together a lot.
この間の弓道部のOB!? The archery clubs OB from before!?
P20
当時 真鍋はマネージャーの瀬名理保子とつきあってて At the time, Manabe was going out with their manager, Sena Rihoko.
彼女たちも交えて五人で出かけたりしてたみたい Including them, it was a group of 5.
理保子は卒業後に真鍋と別れて After graduating, Rihoko broke up with Manabe.
添田とつかいはじめて今は結婚して添田理保子になってるわ She started going out with Soeda, and they got married. Now it’s Soeda Rihoko.
真鍋茂 添田康之 瀬名理保子 Manabe Shigeru. Soega Yasuyuki. Sena Rihoko.
そして恋人の城島咲子 And his lover, Kihima Sakiko.
全員Sがつく All of them have an S in their names.
そうそう That’s right…
片岡愁の二写真を借りてきてあげたわ I brought a photo of Kataoka Shuuji.
P21
見たい？ Want to see it?
。。。麻貴のエッチ …Maki you pervert.
P22
ねぇ Hey.
わたしは病み上がりなのよ I just got over a cold.
これ以上脱いだら風邪がぶり返しちゃうわ If I take off anymore, I’ll get sick again.
そしたらうちの一族の行きつくの病院の特別室を手配して If that happens then I’ll make special arrangements for a room at my family’s hospital.
あたしが優しく看病してあげるわ And I’ll kindly nurse you back to health.
もぉ Geez.
みせてくれなきゃ絶交 If you don’t show it to me, I’ll break off our friendship.
遠子先輩はガキっぽいから本当に絶交しますよ Tooko-senpai is like a kid, so if you don’t do it she’ll really break off your friendship.
P24
それにこれ以上脱がせてもぺったんこなのは変わらないとおもいます Even if she strips anymore, it won’t change the fact that she’s flat.
スリップ一枚でも見事にぺったんこだし Even with 1 slip off, she’s still flat.
もぉ～～～！ Geez~~~~!
心葉君のバカぁ！！！ Konoha-kun you idiot!!
バカ Stupid.
バカ Stupid.
バカぁ Stupid.
あーそのへんで勘弁してやんなさい Ah. Let’s leave it at that.
遠子 Tooko.
P25
ったく Geez.
仕方ないわね I guess I have no choice.
P26 。。。心葉くんにそっくり …He looks just like Konoha-kun.
そう Yea.
片岡愁二はまるでぼくの兄か叔父のように It’s as if he was my brother or uncle.
僕によく似ていた He really looks like me.
千愛がラブレターを渡す “片岡愁二先輩との関連はー・・・！？ What relation does he have to the “Shuuji-senpai” who’s getting letters from Chia-…!?
https://mangahelpers.com/t/krelian/releases/15477[English] [Translation] "Bungaku Shoujo" to Shinitagari no Pierrot 10 by Krelian2009-08-26T19:53:23+00:00Krelianadmin@mangahelpers.comP1
第１０章「アトリエの姫」 Chapter 10 [Princess of the Atelier]
決意を（ちっちゃな）胸に秘め、“文学少女”が挑むのはー。。。 Hiding her determination within her (small) chest, what the “Literature Girl” fights for is…
P2
そんな！ It can’t be!
愁二先輩が１０年前に自殺していたなんてー Shuuji-senpai died 10 years ago…
そんな。。。 Something like that…
まるで怪談みたいな話 It’s just like a ghost story.
P3
千愛ちゃんはこのことを知っているのかしら I wonder if Chia-chan knows about this.
わかりません I don’t know.
１０年前に死んだ人間に会えるはずないですから There’s no way she could have met someone who died 10 years ago so
竹田さんはぼくらに嘘をつていたことになります That would mean she lied to us.
けど。。。 But…
愁二先輩はちゃんと存在してるんです Shuuji-senpai really exists.
あれが嘘とは思えないけれど。。。 It’s hard to believe that was a lie…
どうしてそんなことしたんでしょうね Why would she do something like that?
P4
心葉くんは愁二先輩に似てるのよね？ You resemble Shuuji-senpai right?
そのことと関係があるのかもしれない Maybe it has something to do with that.
ねえ 心葉くんの親戚に片岡という人は本当にいないの？ Hey, is there really no one on your family registry with the name Kataoka?
いませんよ There isn’t.
少なくともぼくは聞いたことあるません At least none that I’ve heard of.
しゅうじせんぱい Shuuji-senpai.
竹田さんはぼくが愁二先輩にひていることを知っていたんだ Takeda-san knew that I resembled Shuuji-senpai.
ならば何故 Then why
ぼくに近づいたのか Did she come to me?
P5
ひょっとしたら！ Maybe!
愁二先輩と心葉くんは血のつながった兄弟なのかも You and Shuuji-senpai are blood related brothers.
愁二先輩が自殺したというのは見せかけで Shuuji-senpai committing suicide was just a farce
裏では凶悪な陰謀が渦巻いていて And there’s an evil conspiracy brewing in the background.
遺産目当ての親戚の人たちが Your relatives who want the inheritance
財閥の正当な跡取りである心葉くんの命を狙って Are going after you, who will be the successor of the conglomerate,
次々と刺客を送り込んできたのよ Sending assassins one after the other.
P6
千愛ちゃんは実は心葉くんを守るボディガードで And Chia-chan is really your body guard and
それでそれで。。。 And and…
やめてくださいその安っぽいストーリー展開 Please stop it with that cheap story development.
ごめんなさい I’m sorry.
つい I just…
風邪で脳みそが沸騰しちゃったんじゃないですか Did the cold fry your brain or something?
ひどいっ So mean.
風邪はもう治ったもの I’ve already gotten over the cold.
それに わたしの推理も Besides, my reasoning too.
全部はずれというわけじゃないかもしれないじゃない It’s not like it was completely off the mark.
今のは推理じゃなくて妄想でしょう It was more like delusions not reasoning.
P7
わかったわ Fine.
それなら愁二先輩のこときっちり調べてみましょう If that’s how it is then we’ll investigate Shuuji-senpai.
推理も ほんのちょっとくらいあったるかもしらないわ It’s possible that my reasoning is at least partially correct.
愁二先輩が亡くなったのは１０年も前ですよ Shuuji-senpai died 10 years ago.
どうやって調べるんですか How are you going to investigate that?
方法はいろいろあるわ！ There are a lot of ways!
伝統ある聖条学園文学部のOBにきくのよ！ The traditional way, asking the Seijou Academy Literature club’s OB!
P8
え～と１０年前の卒業生は。。。 Um. Students that graduated 10 years ago are…
なんと三人もいるわ！ Wow, there are 3 of them!
少なっ So few.
この電話は現在使われておりません This number is no longer in use.
番号をお確かめのうえ。。。 Please check the number…
え？ 小林？ Huh? Kobayashi?
うちは柿本ですけど This is Kakimoto.
宅の雅臣ちゃんは去年の春からパリィの研究室に勤務しておりますの This house’s Masaomi-chan has been working in a lab in Paris since this spring.
つ 次は二年生よ！ N-Next are the second years!
次は一年生。。。 The first years are next…
いないわ！真っ白 There aren’t any! Completely blank
P9
何故うちの部がつぶれずに存続していうのか Why this club has been able to continue on without breaking apart
それは片岡愁二が何者かというこおよりも謎だ Is more of a mystery than what Kataoka Shuuji really is.
もう あきらめましょう Let’s stop already.
竹田さんのことも愁二先輩のこともこれ以上関わらないほうがいいです It’s better not to get involved with Taked-san and Shuuji-senpai anymore.
正直愁二先輩が投身自殺していたと知って Honestly, when I found out that Shuuji-senpai jumped to his own death
ぼくは怖くなっていた I became scared.
屋上は嫌な記憶を思い出させる The roof top brings back nothing but bad memories.
心葉くんはそれでいいの？ Are you fine with that?
P10
そりゃ。。。自分のそっくりさんが自殺したなんて気味がわるいですし Well… I do feel bad for the person who, looked like me, killing himself.
竹田さんも弓道部のOBも何かかくしてるみたいで気になります I’m interested in what Takeda-san and the Archery club’s OB are hiding.
けど仕方ないです But there’s nothing we can do.
ううん Uuunn.
やっぱりダメっ It’s really no good.
もしかしたら愁二先輩の幽霊が真実を知ってほしくて Maybe Shuuji-senpai’s ghost wants everyone to know the truth.
あの世からわたしたちに呼びかけてるのかもしれないわ So he’s calling us from the other world.
P11
ここでやめちゃったら愁二先輩は成仏できないし If we stop now, Shuuji-senpai won’t be able to rest in peace.
あの世にいるなら成仏してんじゃないですか？ Isn’t he already resting in peace in the other world?
千愛ちゃんから手書きの美味しいレポートももらえないわっ I won’t be able to get Chia-chan’s delicious hand written report.
結局目当ては食い物ですか In the end what you’re after is food huh?
そうよここでくじけちゃいけないわ That’s right, we can’t stop now.
あとちょっとだけ調べてみましょう Let’s investigate this a little more.
そのためならわたし。。。 If it’s for this then I’ll…
わたし。。。 I’ll..
P12
脱ぐわ Strip.
翌日 The next day.
ぼくらは学園の敷地にある音楽ホールを訪れた We went to the Academy’s music hall.
P13
それはオーケストラ部の所有物で授業には使われない That belonged to the Orchestra club and is not used for class.
オケのOBや後援会の人たちが資金を出し合って建設したという The construction was paid for by the club’s OB and fan club.
オケ部は部員数も多く There are also a lot of people in the club.
毎年全国大会に出場して高い成績を収めている They perform every year at the National Competitions and obtain very good results.
歴代のOBには世界で活躍している人もいて Every generation of OBs still perform out on the world.
学園理事長もその息子もオケ部の出身だ The academy’s chairman and his/her son also graduated in the club.
P14
すごい。。。 Amazing…
これ全部オケ部の部員なんだ They are all members of the Orchestra club.
ふんだ Hmph.
人数か多ければいいってものじゃないもん Having a lot of members doesn’t mean it’s good.
さぁ 来たわよっ I’m here
麻貴！ Maki!
P15
きたわね 遠子 Tooko, you’re here.
P16
あ～ よかった Ah~ Thank god.
すっぽかされなくて You didn’t stand me up.
P17
この人 姫倉麻貴だー She’s Himekura Maki.
学園の理事長の孫でオケ部の部長で女性指揮者 She’s the academy chairman’s daughter, chairman of the Orchestra club and female conductor.
その華やかな出自や容貌でしょっちゅう噂になっているあの“姫”だ She's the “princess” with the gorgeous appearance that has become the constant target of rumors.
これからなにするかわかってる？ Do you know what we’re about to do here?
麻貴こそ Maki too.
頼んだことちゃんと調べてくれた？ Did you properly investigate what I asked you to?
ぬかりないわよ I didn’t make any mistakes.
なにせ おたくんとこと違ってうちは束にして捨てるほどのOBがいるからね After all, unlike you, we more OB than you can count. (She literally says that they have so many OBs that they can throw some away, but that just doesnt sound right.)
情報提供者にはコトかかないわ We have an abundance of informants.
ぶ 文芸部は少数精鋭なのよっ T-the literature club is only for a select few people.
はいはい Ok ok .
P19
それにうちの一族はほとんど学園のOBだからね Almost everyone in my family are this schools OB.
警察に顔がきく人もいるから There are some that have a lot of influence with the police too.
そっちの方からも片岡愁二に関していろいろ調べてもらったわ I had them investigate Kataoka Shuuji as well.
それでそれで？ And? And?
情報はあたしの出した条件と交換よ I’ll give you the information on my conditions.
覚悟はできてる？遠子？ Are you prepared? Tooko?
P20
もぉ Geez.
わかってるわよ I get it.
じゃ脱いでそこの椅子に座って Then take off your clothes and sit on that chair over there.
あ ポーズは適当に変えていいわよ Ah. You can change the pose however you want.
こっちで勝手にデッサンするから I’ll do the design on my own.
ウウ～ UUUU~
P21
ちょっと待ってください Wait a minute.
これから何をはじめる気ですか？ What are you about to do?
絵のモデルになるの I’m going to be a model for her painting.
そう That’s right.
ヌードモデル A nude model. P22
ヌ N
ヌードぉぉぉぉ Nudeeeee
次号必見。。。！！ The next issue is a must see…!!
Note:
P1: Atelier means studio.
P8: Since the I couldn’t really see if the word was パリィ or バリィ(I assume is the former) I’m not too sure of what it means. If someone knows please feel free to tell me and I’ll make the change. https://mangahelpers.com/t/krelian/releases/14425[English] [Translation] "Bungaku Shoujo" to Shinitagari no Pierrot 9 by Krelian2009-07-25T00:34:40+00:00Krelianadmin@mangahelpers.comThanks go to n3wgrass for the suggestions, they are greatly appreciated.
第９章「五月の晴れた日、彼は。。。」 Chapter 9 [On a Sunny Day in May, He…]
P2 遠子先輩が休みのその日。。。 On the day that Tooko-senpai was absent…
ぼくは竹田さんと弓道部に来ていた I went with Takeda-san to the Archery club.
ねえ Hey.
本当に愁二先輩は弓道部にいるんだよね There really is a Shuuji-senpai in the Archery club right?
ここまで来て何言ってんですか What are you saying after coming all this way.
もうばっちりですよ Everything is perfect. P3 ばっちりって何がばっちりなのだろう Perfect? Just what are you saying is perfect?
すみませーん見学させてくださ～い Excuse me~. Please let us observe practice.
おっ 千愛ちゃん久しぶりだな Oh-. It’s been a while hasn’t it Chia-chan.
おいおい彼氏連れかよ Hey hey. You brought you boyfriend here
お兄ちゃんショックだぞ千愛ちゃん Chia-chan, Onii-chan is shocked.
竹田さん常連らしいな It looks like Takeda-san comes here regularly.
あれ？ Huh?
てことはやっぱり愁二先輩に会いに弓道部によく来てたってことなのかな。。。 Then does that mean she’s really been coming here often to see Shuuji-senpai?
けどこの間は弓道部の人ひぞんな名前の人はいないって言われたし。。。 But, the other time, when I asked the club members, they said that such a person wasn’t in the club.
だんだんこんがらがってきた This is getting more and more complicated.
P4 うわあ すごいです～ Wow, that’s amazing~.
あ 芥川くん Ah. Akutagawa-kun.
カップルで見学に来たと思われてたら恥ずかしいな。。。 It would be embarrassing if everyone thought that we came as a couple to observe practice.
ねえ 愁二先輩はどの人？ Hey, which one is Shuuji-senpai?
えっとですねえ。。。 Well, you see…
P5 よお 後輩諸君！ Yo. Underclassmen!
しっかりやってるか！ Are you doing things properly!
あっ 真鍋先輩！ Ah- Manabe-senpai!
OBの先輩たちがいらっしゃったぞ～ The upperclassmen OB are here~.
こんにちは真鍋先輩！ Hi, Manabe-senpai!
添田先輩も理保子先輩もお久しぶりです Soeda-senpai, Rihoko-senpai it’s been a while.
やあ またお邪魔させてもらうよ Yo. We’ve come once again.
弓道部のOB…? The Archery club’s OB…?
P6 理保子先輩来年ご出産だそうですね Rihoko-senpai, you’ll be giving birth next year right?
おめでとうございます Congratulations.
ありがとう まだ先だけどね Thank you, though it's still not for a while.
お仕事辞めて暇だから来月も寄らせてもらうわ Since I’ve retired from my job, I’ve had a lot of free time so I’ll come again next month.
おいおい大丈夫かや理保子 Hey hey, are you ok? Rihoko.
無茶すんなよ Don’t push yourself too much.
うふふ 真鍋くんは心配性ね Ufufu. You’re such a worrywart Manabe-kun.
弓道部は月に一度 In the Archery club, once a month…
OBのかたがいらっしゃって The OBs come in…
指導してくださるんですよお And give advice and train everyone.
あの口髭を生やしてハンサムな人が真鍋さんといって The handsome guy with the moustache is Manabe-san.
十年前に全国大会で準優勝したときのキャプテンだったんですって Ten years ago, he was the captain of the team that won second place at the national competition.
今でもそのときのメンバーが集めって Even now, he gathers those members together
後輩の面倒を見てくださるそうです And helps the junior members.
P7 愁二。。。！ Shuuji…!
愁二先輩？ Shuuji-senpai?
やっと現れたのか Has he finally appeared?
愁二だって！そんな馬鹿な Did you just say Shuuji! That’s impossible.
嘘でしょう It can’t be true.
どこにいるんだ？ Where is he?
P8 愁二。。。 Shuuji…
P9
愁二ってー Shuuji is-
ぼくが！？ Me!?
このぼくが片岡愁二だっていうのか？ Is he saying that I am Kataoka Shuuji?
P10 別人。。。か It’s someone else…huh?
そうだな。。。愁二はもうー。。。 That’s right… Shuuji is…
すまながった 知り合いに似てたものだからさ Sorry about that. You look just like someone I know.
きみは新入部員か？ Are you a new staff member?
いいえ二年生です No, I’m a second year.
今日は見学に来たんです I came today to observe the club.
P11
なんなんだこの目は What’s with those eyes?
ぼくが片岡愁二に似てるって一体どういうことなんだ Just what do they mean that I look like Kataoka Shuuji.
本当に片岡くんに似てるわ He really looks like Kataoka-kun.
片岡くんのほうが背が高かったけど。。。でも顔立ちがそくり Kataoka-kun was taller but… his features are just so similar.
片岡くんの兄弟みたいよ It’s like you're brothers.
ねえ君の名前は？ Hey, what’s your name?
い。。。井上心葉です I…Inoue Konoha.
P12 コノハくんきもの親戚に片岡という姓の人はいる？ Konoha-kun, do you have any relatives with the last name Kataoka?
おい Hey.
よせ 理保子 Stop it, Rihoko.
それほど似てないよ They don’t look that much alike.
もう長い間愁二に会ってないから記憶が薄れて We haven’t seen him for a while so our memories are a bit hazy.
ちょっと似た子がそっくりに見えてしまっただけさ And we see someone who looks a little like him, and think they look exactly alike.
そうだな。。。添田のいうとおりかもしれんな That’s right…It’s just as Soeda said.
真鍋くん。。。 Manabe-kun…
あのっ Um…
P13 片岡愁二ってどんな人ですか What kind of person was he?
片岡くんはとてもはた迷惑なひとだったわ Kataoka-kun was a very annoying person.
いい加減で遊び人で Always irresponsible and a playboy,
口を開けば冗談ばっかり Whenever he opens his mouth it’s always a joke.
よせよ理保子 Stop it, Rihoko.
P14 愁二は弓道部員でオレたちの同期さ Shuuji is the Archery club’s and our classmate.
同期！ Classmate!
じゃあ愁二先輩は真鍋さんたちと同じ弓道部のOBだたんだ Then Shuuji-senpai is the Archery clubs OB just like Manabe-san and the others.
片岡愁二という人間は存在していた The person called Kataoka Shuuji exists.
ただし現在ではなく過去の弓道部にー！ But in the past Archery club not the current one!
P15
あれ？ Huh?
竹田さんは片岡愁二が卒業生だと知っていたんじゃないのか？ Didn’t Takeda-san already know that Kataoka Shuuji graduated?
それで愁二先輩は今はどうしてるんですか So, what is Shuuji-senpai doing now?
“自分の幸福の観念と世の全ての人たちの幸福の観念とがまるで食い違っているよう不安”を常に感じ I can already feel “the anxiety of having my sense of happiness be so different from that of everyone else’s happiness.”
道化であることを選んだあの片岡愁二という人はどんな大人になったのだろう I wonder what kind of person this Kataoka Shuuji, who chose to play the part of a clown, became.
P16 愁二にはもう会えないんだ We can’t see Shuuji anymore.
すまんがあまりいい話ではないのでこれで勘弁してくれ Sorry but it isn’t something I like to talk about, so you’ll have to forgive me.
驚かせてしまって本当にわるかったなコノハくん I’m really sorry for scaring you, Konoha-kun.
さあ練習をさいかいしよう Now, let’s start practicing again.
P17 竹田さん Takeda-san
。。。ごめんなさい … I’m sorry.
今日は愁二先輩 Shuuji-senpai
いらっしゃらないみたです Doesn’t seem to be here today.
P18 Sのことを語りましょう Let’s talk about S.
Sは自分の一番の理解者で、不倶戴天の敵で、親友で、半身で、相容れぬ者でありました。 S was the understood me the best, my irreconcilable enemy, close friend, half a man, and someone I couldn’t stand to be in the same room with.
Sはその恐るべき聡明さによりすべてをみぬいていました。 S had the wisdom to see through everything.
世の人を完全にあざむきせしめている自分の道化はSにだけは通用しませんでした。 My clowning, which had deceived and cheated people, could not fool S.
それゆえに自分はSを恐れたのです Because of that, I feared S.
恐れるがゆえにSから逃れられなかったのでした Even though I was afraid of him, I couldn’t run away.
教室でも部活動でも自分はSとともにありました。 Whether it was in the classroom or at club activities, I was always with S.
天から使わされた審判であるがごとき、Sの視線を感じ、恐怖と羞恥に足が震え汗が吹き出す思いでした。 Like I’m with a referee from heaven, when I felt S’s stares, fear and shyness made my legs tremble and sweat start gushing out. この世は地獄です。 This world was hell.
P19 自分はSの奴隷でありました。 I was S’s slave.

P20 弓道部が全国大会で準優勝したときの写真だ This is a photo from the time when the Archery club won second place at the national competition.
片岡愁二らしきひとはいない。。。 There’s no one here that would look like Kataoka Shuuji…
一組 二組 Class 1. Class 2.
三組 Class 3.
四組 Class 4.
あった Found it. On the paper: 片岡愁二 (Kataoka Shuuji)
P21 この位置に写真があるということが何を意味しているのか The empty spot in this photo has to mean something.
そうして一体誰が写真を切り取り持ち去ったのか And just who cutoff a part this picture.
卒業を待たずに手工していったんだろうか。。。 Did he transfer away before graduation…
それとも。。。病気か怪我で入院して集合写真に入ることができなかったなんだろうか Or… was he injured or fell and wasn’t able to make it for the photo.
それともー。。。 Or…
P22 聖条学園三年生片岡愁二（十七歳）屋上から飛び降り死亡 3rd year Seijou Academy student, Kataoka Shuuji (17), jumped off the roof and died.
P23
よりによって屋上 Of all the places, why the roof.
よりによって飛び降り Of all the ways, why jumping off.
最悪だ That is the worst.
P24
ああ どうしていつもこうなのだろう Ah. Why is it always like this.
第二の手記が明らかにされる前に、 片岡愁二も太宰治のように自ら命を絶っていたのだ Before the second memo could be found, Kataoka Shuuji, like Dazai Osamu, took his own life.
片岡愁二はすでにー。。。！？ Kataoka Shuuji is already...!?
千愛と言う”愁二先輩”とは一体。。。！？ Just who is the "Shuuji-senpai" that Chia was talking about...!?
Note:
OB means old boy - a male former pupil of a school.

P1 星と蛍の灯かりで読む本は。。。？ The book that she is reading by the light of the stars and fireflies is…?
第８章「道化の心」 Chapter 8 [The Clown’s Heart]
P2
生徒名簿にも載っていない先輩を、存在すると主張する千愛だが―…。 Chia is claiming that the senpai, whose name isn’t in the student registry, exists but…
本当です It’s true.
愁二先輩はちゃんと存在してるんです Shuuji-senpai really exists.
P3
わからない I don’t understand.
竹田さんは何故こうまで片岡愁二の存在を主張するんどだろう How can she insist on Kataoka Shuuji’s existence so much?
竹田さんが片岡愁二と呼ぶ人間は誰なのだろう Who is this person that she calls Kataoka Shuuji?
P4
あのさ Well… その手紙の冒頭が太宰の「人間失格」だって知ってる？ Did you know that the beginning of the letter is like Dazai Osamu’s [Ningen Shikkaku]?
「恥の多い生涯を送ってきました」 I’ve lived a life full of shame. 。。。はい …Yes.
手紙お読んだあと「人間失格」を借りて読みましたから Because after I read the letter, I borrowed [Ningen Shikkaku] and read it.
P5
けどあたしバカだから。。。 But I’m dumb so…
「人間失格」を読んでも全然わからなかったです Even after I read [Ningen Shikkaku] I still couldn’t understand at all.
どうしてこの人はこんなに苦しんでるんだろうって。。。 Why was this person suffering so much…?
お金持ちの家に生まれて兄弟からも友達からも先生からも好かれてて Being born in to a rich family and being loved by his siblings, friends and teachers…
頭だってよくて女の子にもモテモテで心中につきあってくれる人までいて He was smart, popular with the girls and had someone to commit a lover’s suicide with…
なのにどうして自分は生きる価値のない恥ずかしい人間だなんて思ったりするんだろうって Even so why did he think that he was a shameful person who had no worth being alive…
それって―おかしです That’s just strange.
苦しむ必要なんて全然ないです There is no need to suffer so much.
甘えてます That’s just being spoiled.
。。。そんなふうにしか思えないんです … That’s what I thought of it. P6
ダメなんですあたしバカでフツーだから I’m no good. I’m an idiot and ordinary.
本当に平凡で頭悪くてダメダメだから I’m really mediocre, dumb, and useless.
太宰治や愁二先輩がどうして死にたいって思うのか I couldn’t understand why Dazai Osamu or Shuuji wanted to die…
一生かかってもわかんないです Even if I spent my whole life thinking about it.
「人間失格」も五回も読み返しちゃいました I even read [Ningen Shikkaku] 5 times.
それでもやっぱりキョーカンなんて全然できなくて。。。 Even then I still couldn’t sympathize with them…
最後は泣けてきちゃいました In the end, I just started crying.
P7
好きな人を理解したい Wanting to understand the person that you love…
けれど理解できない But not being able to do so…
相手の心がわからない痛みをぼくも経験したことがある I’ve also experience it, the pain of not being able to understand what is in your partner’s heart.
P8
。。。そのカップ That cup…
誕生日に友達のしいちゃんからもらったんです I got it from my friend, Shi-chan, for my birthday.
しいちゃんは一番の仲良しで We get along very well.
あたしと違って賢くてなんでもできる子だった。。。 Unlike me, she’s smart and can do anything…
あたしはこのカップのあひるにそっくりだってしいちゃんは言ってました She said that I was just like the duck on this cup.
ドジで間抜けでなんにもないとこでばたばた転んでばっかり Always clumsy, blockheaded and tripping even on flat ground.
フツーなところが。。。 It’s normal but…
P9
あたしも自分はきっとずっとこのままなんだろうってわかってるから。。。 I realize that I’ll probably be this way forever…
だから愁二先輩みたいな危なそうな人に惹かれたんだと思います I think that’s why I was drawn to someone dangerous like Shuuji-senpai.
あたし本当にバカで平凡だけど I’m really dumb and mediocre but…
愁二先輩が苦しんでるなら力になりたいんです If Shuuji-senpai is suffering, then I want to help him.
あたしにできることがあれば全部してあげたいんです If there is anything that I can do, then I’ll do them all.
少なくとも竹田さんの中に愁二先輩は存在していて At the very least, the Shuuji-senpai inside her really exists. 竹田さんは愁二先輩のことを真剣に想っている She’s seriously thinking of Shuuji-senpai.
それは間違いなさそうだ There’s no mistaking that.
P10
ぼくも I…
「人間失格」はよくわからなかったよ Didn’t understand really [Ningen Shikkaku] that well too.
えへへ。。。 Ehehe…
そうですよねっ I guess you’re right.
P11
お金持ちの家に生まれたのが恥ずかしいなんて Something like being embarrassed because they were born into a rich family…
あたしたち庶民から見たらバカャローって感じですよね From our perspective, that just seems stupid right?
えへへ Ehehe.
。。。 …
心葉先輩 Konoha-senpai.
あたし I.
P12
心葉先輩の顔 Your face…
好き I like it.
P13
な なに急に W-what is it all of a sudden?
心葉先輩の顔 Your face…
とっても綺麗でやさしそうだから Looks so pretty and kind.
女の子みたいだとからかわれたことはあるけれど I’ve been teased by people saying my face looks girly but…
こんなふうに面と向かって綺麗なんて言われたのははじめてだ But it’s the first time someone has said it to me face to face like this.
竹田さんヘンだよ Takeda-san, you’re acting weird.
えへっ Eheh.
心葉先輩にお願いがるんです Konoha-senpai, I’ve got a request for you.
P14
明日の放課後 Tomorrow, after school…
弓道部につきあっていただけませんか Would you please come with me to the archery club?
弓道部。。。！？ The archery club…!?
昨日はっきりと弓道部に片岡愁二という人はいないと言われたばかりだけど。。。 But I was clearly told that there was no Kataoka Shuuji there.
あたしと一緒に弓道部へ行って Please come with me to the archery club…
愁二先輩に会ってください And meet Shuuji-senpai.
Sは危険だ S is dangerous.
Sはすべてを見抜いている S will see through everything.
P15 Sは自分を破滅させるだろうう S will probably bring forth my destruction.
自分はいつかSに殺されるだろう I will, one day, be killed by S.
それはなんという至福であうことだろう What supreme bliss that will be.
P16
もしもし心葉くん？ Hello, Konoha-kun? 千愛ちゃんとのお話はどうだったの？ How was your talk with Chia-chan?
明日愁二先輩に会いに二人で弓道部に行くことになりました We’re going to meet Shuuji-senpai tomorrow at the archery club.
えええええ！ EEEEH!
P17
もしかしたら愁二先輩の幽霊が現れるんかも Maybe Shuuji-senpai’s ghost will show up.
ぞうなったらたいへん！ It will be terrible if it happens!
心葉くん お塩を持っ行くのを忘れないでね Konoha-kun, don’t forget to take some salt with you.
妙に幽霊にこだわるな。。。 She’s strangely fussy over ghosts…
幽霊の知り合いでもいるんだろうか？ Could she be acquainted with some ghosts?
聞いてる？心葉くん Are you listening? Konoha-kun
そういえば「人間失格」を読み返していたんですけど That reminds me, I’ve reread [Ningen Shikkaku] but…
今だと主人公の気持ちが理解できるような気がします This time, I feel like I understand the protagonist’s feelings.
わたしもすごおおおおく落ち込んだときに When I feeling really down…
主人公と一緒に暗～～～くなっちゃったことがあったなあ I become really gloomy just like the protagonist.
太宰のマジックって本当に強烈ね Dazai’s magic is really intense.
P18
遠子先輩も落ち込むことがあるんですか There are times when even you get depressed?
ええ Yea.
恋愛大殺界って言われたときとか Like when I was told about my catastrophically bad time for love.
ははは Hahaha.
それからみんなでフルーツパフェを食べているとき Or when everyone went to eat fruit parfaits…
私だけ美味しいって思えないときとか And I was the only one that didn’t think it tasted good.
P19
遠子先輩は物語を食べて生きる妖怪だ。。。 Tooko-senpai is a youkai that eats stories…
ぼくらが普段当たり前に食べているものは The everyday things that we eat…
先輩にとってはなんの味もしない無機物でしかない To her, they are nothing more than tasteless inorganic substances.
他人と同じ気持ちになれずに「人間失格」の主人公のように Not having the same feelings as everyone else, just like the protagonist in [Ningen Shikkaku].
他人が美味しい美味しいと食べているものの味が The taste of things that people say are delicious is…
でも But
そこは想像力でカバーして I cover for it with my imagination.
うんと甘い本を思い浮かべて But while thinking of a sweet book floating in my mind,
“わあ美味しい”って言っちゃうけどね I agree with everyone else, saying “Oh that’s delicious”.
P20
文学少女ですからね Because you’re the Literature Girl right?
えへんそのとおり Ahem. That’s exactly right.
あ でも「人間失格」ってひとつだけ Ah. But there was just one thing…
ど～しても理解できないことがあるのよねえ That I just couldn’t understand about [Ningen Shikkaku].
なんですか？ What is it?
P21
“空腹という感覚がどんなものだかさっぱりわからないのです”ってとこ The part where he says “I couldn’t understand the feeling of being hungry” そこだけはう～～～～んと頑張って一生懸命想像しても That’s the only part where I couldn’t understand it…
これっぽっちもわからないのよね。。。 Even if I did my best and spend my whole life trying to understand it…
ぐう～～～～ Guuuu-----
ああ なんだか心葉くんとお話してたらおなかがずいてきちゃった Ah. Talking to you has made me hungry.
風邪を引いても落ち込んでも Even if she has a cold or is feeling depressed…
遠子先輩は遠子先輩であるようだ Tooko-senpai is still Tooko-senpai.
風邪にはビタミンCがいいらしいですよ It seems that vitamin C is good for curing colds.
P22
それじゃお大事に Well then, take care of yourself.
ビタミンCを多量に含んだ本 A book that contains a lot of vitamin C…
それは一体どんな本なのだろう Just what kind of book is that?
翌日遠子先輩は大事をとったのか学校を休んだ The next day, whether she was being careful or not, took the day off.
これはむしろウイルスってかんじだような。。。 This feels more like a virus…

p1
恥ずかしい。 Embarrassing.
自分は恥ずかしい。 I am embarrassing.
生きていることが恥ずかしい Being alive is embarrassing.
片岡愁二は手紙の中で繰り返しそう訴えていた Kataoka Shuuji complained in his letter.
ｐ２
こもれびのなかに、その姿が淡く溶けて。。。 The fleeting figure, fading away in the sunlight coming through the leaves…
太宰治は「人間失格」を書き上げた１か月後くらいに自殺したんですよね Dazai committed suicide 1 month after he completed Ningen Shikkaku right?
それヤバくないですか？ Isn’t that bad?
この手紙もまるで遺書のように思えませんか Don’t you think this letter is something like a will?
愁二先輩はどういうつもりで I wonder what he was thinking
こんな手紙を千愛ちゃんにわたしたのかしらね When he gave Chia-chan this letter.
ｐ４
太宰の「人間失格」は「はしがき」と「第一の手記」第二の手記「第三の手記」「あとがき」から構成されていて Dazai’s Ningen Shikkaku is composed of The preface, The First Memo, The Second Memo, The Third Memo and The Afterword.
当時 雑誌「展望」に三回に渡って連載されたわ At that time, it was serialized in the magazine Tenbou on three separate occasions.
「はしがき」と「第一の手記」が掲載されたのが五月 The preface and The First Memo first appeared in May.
そのおよそ１か月後の六月十三日に June 13th, 1 month after that…
愛人の山崎富栄と玉川上水に身を投げたの。。。 Tamagawa Juuji and his lover Yamazaki Tomie committed suicide…
連載の二回目が発表されたのは川で遺体を捜している最中で The second serialization was announced when police were searching the river for the couple's bodies.
二人の遺体が引き上げられたのが六月十九日 Their remains were salved on June 19th.
「第三の手記」と「あとがき」が発表されたのがさらに１か月後の七月 The Third Memo and Afterword were announced 1 month after that, in July.
「人間失格」はまるで太宰の人生をなぞったかのような内容だった It was almost as if Ningen Shikkaku was tracing the events of Dazai’s life.
ｐ５
「人間失格」は田舎の名門旧家に生まれた主人公が他者と違う自分に恐れと羞恥を抱き The protagonist，born in to an old country family，was different from everyone else. He was afraid of himself and embraced his own shyness.
自分を偽り道化を演じやがて危険な社会運動に身を投じてゆく Playing the role of a fake clown, he invested himself in dangerous social movements.
けれどそれも中途半端でしかなく But that was all half-assed.
自分に嫌気がさし絶望から逃れるために退廃的な生活を続ける Hating himself and drowning in his own despair, he continued his degenerate lifestyle.
そんな中でカフェの女給と心中騒ぎを起こすが In the midst of all that, he met a café waitress and they decided to commit a lovers suicide.
自分だけが生き残り絶望と自己否定に陥る Being the only one that survived, he plunged into despair and self-denial.
それでも自分に無垢な信頼をよせてくれた清純な娘を妻にしささやかな幸せを得たけれども Even so, he attained a small measure of happiness by making a young and pure girl his wife, who innocently trusted him.
結局貧困と内省と退廃の日々に逆戻り But in the end, the days of poverty, introspection and degeneration returned.
妻もその無垢ゆえに汚され His wife, in her innocence, was hurt as well.
主人公はしだいに薬に溺れ脳病院へ送られ廃人同然となる The protagonist was taken to the hospital for overdosing on medicine and became a cripple.
ｐ６
作者の太宰治も青森の大地主の家に生まれ社会運動に参加するけど The author, Dazai Osamu, was also born into a big land-owning family in Aomori and he was also involved in social movements but…
所詮裕福なお坊ちゃまてしかないことに悩みカフェの女給と心中未遂を起こすわ He attempted a lovers suicide with a café waitress because he was distressed about being nothing more than a rich kid.
このとき太宰だけは助かったの At that time, only Dazai was saved.
そのあと芸妓の小山初代と結婚するけど彼女の過ちを知りまた心中未遂 After that, he married a geisha named Oyama Hatsuyo. But when he found out about her mistakes, he attempted another lovers suicide.
パビナール中毒になって病院に入れられているわ He was admitted into a hospital for pabinal poisoning.
その十数円後「人間失格」を完成させた後再び心中し今度は太宰も女性も助からながった Rougly 10 years later, after Ningen Shikkaku was completed, he attempted suicide again. But this time neither Osamu nor the girl was saved.
そんなことから「人間失格」は太宰の遺書といわれたのよ After that, Ningen Shikkaku was said to be Dazai Osamu’s will.
ｐ７
心葉くんは太宰治の作品をよんだことがある？ Konoha-kun, have you ever read any of Dazai Osamu’s works before?
「人間失格」は読みました I’ve read Ningen Shikkaku,
あとは教科書に載っていた「走れメロス」と「富岳百景」くらいですかね Hashire Melos, and FugakuHyakkei from the textbook.
心葉くんは太宰を読んでどう思った？ What did you think of Dazai when you read those?
よくわかりませんでした I didn’t really understand it.
モノローグばっかｔりで重苦しい話だなあ。。。って It was mostly monologues and depressing stories.
ｐ８
あ「走れメロス」は親友のために命がけで走ったりなんかして熱血してましたね Oh. In Hashire Melos, with his life on the line, he passionately ran for the sake of his friend.
ラストの王様が改心しちゃうところはご都合主義で感動するよりぽかんとしちゃいましたけど But the king, rather than being moved by this act, immediately hit him.
「富岳百景」は紀行文ですよね？ Fugaku Hyakkei was a travelers' journal right?
カメラでパチりのシーンしか覚えてないんですけど All I can remember was a quick camera scene.
爽やかだったような気がします It felt kind of refreshing.
それと文章がリズミカルで読みやすかったです And the sentences felt rhythmic when I read them.
なんだか作者に話しかけられているような感じ It was almost as if the author was talking to me.
そう Yea.
そうが太宰の作品の魅力のひとつよ！ That’s what’s so charming about Dazai’s works.
ｐ９
太宰の作品はまるで作者自身に語りかけられているような親近感と臨場感があるの Dazai’s works have a certain feel and presence where it seems like he’s talking directly to you.
この潜在的二人称が生み出す太宰の最大のマジック Being able to bring out that potential is Dazai’s magic.
それが作者と作品への”共感”よ That’s the empathy between the author and his work.
共感？ Empathy?
ええ 太宰は好き嫌いがわかれる作家で Yea. Dazai is an author that knows about likes and dislikes.
暗いどか重いとかうじうじしているから読みたくないという人もいるけど There are people who are hesitant to read it because it’s gloomy and heavy but…
ファンの熱烈さでは他の文豪より頭一つ飛び抜けているんじゃないかしら Don’t you think that what comes to mind is not mastering the words, but the fans' passion?
好きな人にとってはとことんマってしまう魅力を持った作家なのよ Having someone like it enough to get in to the book until the end is the writer’s charm.
ｐ１０
何故太宰がこれほど愛されいるのか Why do you like Dazai’s works so much?
それは読み手が太宰の作品の中に自分の悩みや痛みをみるからよ That’s because the reader can relate to the characters.
誰だって理解されたいし自分をわかってほしと思っているわ Everyone wants to understand those around them and to be understood themselves.
人と違うことはとても怖い Being different is a very scary thing.
孤独はさびしくて辛い Isolation is lonely and painful.
太宰の作品はそんなとき心に直接ささやきかけてくるの That’s when Dazai’s works speak directly to your heart.
ページをめくりながら読み手は語り手はひとつになり物語の世界にどこまでもでこまでものめりごんで行き As you turn the pages, the reader and writer become as one, sinking in to the world of the story.
ああ これは自分のことだ Ah. This is about me.
この主人公は自分自身だ。。。 The protagonist is none other than myself…
そんなふうにおもってしまうのよ That’s what you end up thinking.
ｐ１１
片岡愁二も「人間失格」二共感して Did Kataoka Shuuji, while sympathizing with Ningen Shikkaku,
こんな手紙をかいたんでしょうか Write this letter?
そうかもしれないわね That’s possible.
太宰の文学はそこが魅力的でそして怖いの That’s what’s scary about how much charm Dazai’s works have.
落ち込んでいるときに読んでらどんどん真っ暗な海に引きずり込まれちゃう If you read it when you’re feeling down, you’ll feel even worse and get caught up in an ocean of sadness.
でもこの手紙途中ですよね But this letter stops midway.
「人間失格」みたいに第二第三の手記があるのかな I wonder if it will have a 2nd or 3rd memo like in Ningen Shikkaku.
ｐ１２
やだ Oh no.
そんなんだったら第二の手記を読む前に悩みを解決してあげないと心中しちゃう If it comes to that, we have to solve the problems before reading the second memo or there will be a lovers suicide.
縁起でもないコト言わないでください Please don’t say something so ominous.
Sっていうのは誰なんでしょう Just who is this S person?
それと彼女っていうのは。。。竹田さんのことなのかな And who is she… is it talking about Takeda-san?
それ以前に片岡愁二は一体どこにいるでしょう But before that, just who is Kataoka Shuuji?
そうね That’s right.
そこが一番問題ね That comes first.
早く愁二先輩をみつけて Hurry and find Shuuji-senpai.
彼が心中とか殺人とか本気で考えてるようなら止めなくちゃ If he’s thinking of suicide or killing people, he needs to be stopped.
ｐ１３
結局。。。 In the end..
手がかりは竹田さんしかないんだよなあ。。。 The only clue we have is Takeda-san…
心葉せんぱ～い Konoha-senpa~i.
お手紙かいていただけましたか～ Did you write a letter~?
ごめん Sorry.
今日は手紙書けなかったんだ I didn’t write one today.
ｐ１４
愁二先輩のことをもっと知らなくちゃこれ以上書けない I can’t write anymore if I don’t learn more about Shuuji-senpai.
教えてくれないかな Can you talk to me?
愁二先輩のこと About him.
先輩に関して竹田さんが知ってることを全部 Everything that you know about him.
そうしたら手紙を書くから If you do that, I might be able to write a letter.
ｐ１５
放課後。。。 After school…
図書室に来ていただけますか Please come to the library room.
地下の書庫で待ってますから I’ll be waiting in the archives room in the basement.
ｐ１７
このお部屋 In this room…
ゴキブリとネズミが出るです Roaches and mice often come out.
だから図書委員のひとたちも嫌がって滅多に寄り付かないんですよ That’s why the library club members don’t come down here that often.
ｐ１８
あたしは秘密のお部屋みたいで気に入ってるでｓけどね I like it because it’s almost like a secret room.
あのラブレターの内容でこんな手紙を返してくるなんて絶対に不自然だ Giving a love letter like that in return is definitely not normal.
。。。。そうです ．．．That’s right.
ｐ２０
手紙はあたしが愁二先輩から受け取ったものじゃなくて The letter wasn’t something I received from Shuuji-senpai.
本に挟まっていたのを偶然見つけたんです I accidentally found it in a book.
本って図書館の？ The library’s book?
はい Yes.
太宰治の「人間失格」の間に入ってました It was in Dazai Osamu’s Ningen Shikkaku.
なんだろうって思って読んでみてびっくりしちゃいました I was curious as to what it was, and was shocked when I read it.
ぞれで気になって気になっていてもなってもいられなくなって愁二先輩に会いに行ったんです It caught my attention so much that I couldn’t let it go and went to meet Shuuji-senpai.
弓道部に？ At the archery club?
ｐ２１
。。。はい Yes．．．
でも弓道部には片岡愁二って人は。。。 But there’s no such person in the archery club…
いいえ No.
愁二先輩はいます There is a Shuuji-senpai.
本当です It’s true.
愁二先輩はちゃんと存在してるんです Shuuji-senpai really exists.
Notes:
***Info taken from wikipedia***
p4
愛人の山崎富栄と玉川上水に身を投げたの。。。 ａ ｃｏｕｐｌｅ Ｙａｍａｚａｋｉ Ｔｏｍｉｅ ａｎｄ Ｔａｍａｇａｗａ Ｊｕｕｊｉ ｔｈｒｅｗ ａｗａｙ ｔｈｅｉｒ ｂｏｄｉｅｓ。。。 -it means they committed suicide together by jumping into a river, see as how their bodies were later and salvaged from a river. I assume its the Tamagawa river where Dazai Osamu and his wife Yamazaki Tomie's bodies were found after committing suicide. Their bodies were found on June 19th 1948, 6 days after they disappeared. Coincidentally, June 19th was Dazai's 39th birthday. Ningen Shikkaku (No longer human) was seen as Dazai's will because he died soon after completing it and it somewhat depicted the events that happened in his own life.

-Oyama Hatsuyo was Dazai's first wife. She worked as a geisha. When the two ran away together, Dazai was formally expelled from his family.

お手紙いただきにまいりました～ I've come to pick up the letter.
。。。 ...
p３
今日は手紙はないよ I don't have a letter for you today.
へ？どーしてですか？ Eh? Why?
片岡愁二って先輩はこの学園にはいないから Because there's no upperclassman in this school with the name Kataoka Shuuji.
ええええええええええええええええええっ Eh!?
p４
もおなに言ってるんですか心葉先輩 Geez. What are you saying, Konoha-senpai?
愁二先輩はちゃんといますよお There is a Shuuji-senpai.
でも弓道ぬに片岡愁二って名前の人はいなかったし But there wasn't anyone in the archery club with that name.
全校名簿にもそういう名前の人は載ってないよ Even the student records didn't have that name listed.
竹田さん Takeda-san,
きみは一体誰に手紙を渡してたの？ Just who are you giving the letters to?
p５
愁二先輩ですよ I'm giving them to Shuuji-senpai.
なんなんだこの自信は？ What’s with this confidence?
ひょっとしたら僕の方が何か間違えた。。。？ Could I have made a mistake...?
けど 全校名簿に名前の載っていない生徒がいるわけ。。。 But there's no way a student not listed in the records could...
愁二先輩は弓道部にちゃ～～～～～んといますよ Shuuji-senpai is definitely in the archery club.
で でも B-but.
ｐ６
千愛 I 愁二先輩からいただいたお手紙だっていつむ持ってます I always carry around the letter that he gave me.
ほら See?
。。。 ...
ｐ７
愁二先輩はいます Shuuji-senpai exists.
本当です It’s true.
このお手紙を読んでください Please read this letter.
ｐ８
愁二先輩今すごく苦しんでいるんです。。。 Shuuji-senpai is in a lot of pain right now...
けで あたしバカだからよくわからなくて But I'm dumb so I don't really understand.
だから。。。 That's why...
だから。。。お願いです That's why... please
愁二先輩のこと助けてあげてくだいさい Please save him.
p９
思いつめた竹田さんのその表情はでも嘘を言っているようには思えない。。。 I don't think she would be lying with such a brooding expression on her face...
その”愁二先輩”に何かが起こっているのだろう Something must have happened to that "Shuuji-senpai".
竹田さんは明るく振舞っていても一人で抱え込むのは限界だったのかもしれない She must be at her limit, acting energetic while shouldering all of this.
竹田さん自身も助けを求めていたのかもしれない She might be hoping to be saved herself.
だからあんな頼りない目で僕を見ていたのかもしれない So please don't look at me with such helpless eyes.
手紙を読んでしまったらやっかいなことになるとわかっていた I know that if I read the letter it will turn into something troublesome.
波乱のない平和な毎日 Peaceful days without any troubles,
それがぼくの一番の望みだ Those are the kinds of days i wish for the most.
他人のたっかいごとに自分から関わるなんて愚かなことだ Involving myself in someone else's business is just stupid.
ごめん Sorry,
ぼくには荷が重すぎるし役二立てそうにないよ I have too much on my mind so I don't think I’ll be of any help.
そう言って立ち去るのが正解だ Saying that and walking away would be the right thing to do.
ｐ１０
けど もう遅いみたいだった But it seems its already too late.
片岡愁二という人が実在するのかどうか Whether the person called Kataoka Shuuji really exists or not,
何故こんなすれ違いが起こったのか How this disagreement happened,
ぼくも知りたくてたまらなくなっていたから I can’t help but want to find out.
ｐ１１
恥の多い生涯を送って来ました I've lived a life full of shame.
自分には、人間というものが、見当つかないのです I just can’t grasp what the things called humans are.
優しさとか、愛しさとか、哀しさとか― 誰もが当たり前のように有している感情が Kindness, love, sadness- the feelings that any normal person has…
自分は道化の仮面をかぶりました I put on a buffoons mask,
必死に周りを笑わせ、害のないやつだと思われようとしたのです。 Trying to make myself seem harmless, i frantically made those around me laugh.
けれど、嘘に嘘を重ねるごとに、心はすり減ってゆくばかりでした。 But piling up lies one by one only makes your heart grow colder
ｐ１２
あの日、自分は、人を殺めました。 On that day, I killed someone.
やわらかな肉が、押しつぶされ、甘いような酸っぱいような香りのする赤い血が、黒いアスファルトの上に広がってゆくのを、乾いた心で眺めていました。 Crushing the soft flesh and looking on with a dry heart as the sweet and sour scent of blood spread across the asphalt.
自分は、人間を、殺しました。 I killed a human.
神様も、もう自分を助けてはくださらないでしょう Not even god can save me now.
ｐ１３
「人間失格」ね Ningen Shikkaku huh?
”恥の多い生涯を送ってきました” "I've lived a life full of shame."
これは「人間失格」の主人公の手紙の冒頭の引用よ This is a quote from the protagonist's letter in Ningen Shikkaku.
他にもなぞっている文章がいくつもあるわ There are a bunch of lines that follow the sentence too.
「人間失格」って Ningen Shikkaku is…
太宰治のですか？ The one by Dazai Osamu?
ｐ１４
なら この手紙に書いてあることは本当のことじゃなくて Then the fact that she wrote the letter is a lie.
「人間失格」のパロディなんですね It’s just a parody of Ningen Shikkaku isn’t it?
そうであってほしい I hope it just that.
竹田さんから受け取った手紙を読んだとき When i read her letter,
内容のあまりの異様さと救いのなさに真っ暗な闇の中に放り出されたような気がした The contents were so strange that it felt as if I was thrown into complete darkness.
手紙は片岡愁二という少年の凄絶な告白であり懺悔だった This letter while being Kataoka Shuuji's violent confession was also his way of repenting.
ｐ１５
愁二は幼少の頃から他人と気持ちを共有することが出来ながった Ever since he was young, Shuuji could not share the feelings of other people.
好きとはどういうことなのか嫌いとはどういうことなのか What it’s like to love, to hate.
近しい人間が泣くなりみんなが泣いている When someone close by cries everyone cries,
けれど自分は少しも哀しくない But he wasn't the least bit sad.
子犬や赤ん坊を見てみんなが可愛い可愛いとかまう様子も理解できない He couldn't understand why people would go he's so cute he's so cute when they see a baby or puppy.
そんなことを積み重ねるうち While that continued to pile up,
自分は人間ではなく呪われたお化けだと思うようになっていった He started to think that he was not a human but a cursed monster.
他者の理解しうるものを理解できない恐怖。 The fear of not being able to understand what others do.
絶望。 The despair.
苦渋。 The bitterness.
ｐ１６
もし 自分がお化けてあることがばれたら他人はどう思うだろう If they found out that I was a monster what would everyone think?
そんな恐れから道化を装い懸命に他人を笑わせ愛されるように努めだ Fearing that, he put on the dress of a clown and served to make those around him laugh.
彼は人気者になったが心の中には常に強烈な羞恥を抱きもがき苦しんでいた He had become popular, but deep in his heart he was always holding back his intense shyness while struggling in pain.
嘘をついていることが恥ずかしい人でないことが恥ずかしい Lying is embarrassing. Not being a person is embarrassing.
”恥ずかしい。自分は、恥ずかしい。生きていることが恥ずかしい” "Embarrassing. I am embarrassing. Living is embarrassing."
ｐ１７
一人だけ愁二の道化が演技であると見抜いた人物がいた There was only one person who could see through his disguise.
愁二はその人のことをSと表記していて Shuuji called this person S.
自分の理解者てあると同時に While being someone who understands him,
自分に破滅をもたらす危険な存在であると書いていた He also wrote that that person was dangerous and would bring forth his destruction.
”いずれ自分は、Sにようて破滅を迎えるでしょう” "One day S would be my downfall."
”ある日Sは、自分にこう囁きました。” "One day S whispered to me,"
「きみは彼女のことを心底から誠実にあいしているこか」 [Do you sincerely love her from the bottom of your heart?]
ｐ１８
手紙はここで終わっている The letter ends there.
彼女が誰をさすのかもSが誰かということもわからない I couldn't figure out who she or S was.
愁二がSのどう答えたのかも Nor Shuuji's answer.
うう。。。 Uhh...
この手紙が全て太宰のパロデイとは言い切れないわ You can’t say for sure that it was a parody of Dazai.
ｐ１９
「人間失格」をなぞりながら While Ningen Shikkaku,
自分の本当の気持ちを誰かに知ってほしくて書いた手紙のようにわたしは思えるの I think they wanted others to know how they felt so they wrote it like a letter.
じゃあ人を殺しましたっていうのも本当なんでしょうか Then the part about killing someone is also true?
それと死にたいって訴えている部分も And the part where they complained about wanting to die?
殺しちゃったのか本当だったら大変よお If the killing was true it'd be a huge problem.
どちらにしても愁二先輩は Either way Shuuji-senpai,
”ちょっと悩んでるみたいなんです”どころではないみたいね Doesn't "look like he’s worried".
早急に助けが必要たわ He needs immediate help.
ｐ２０
でも。。。 But…
ここまで自分自身に絶望し Going as far as despairing.
自分を嫌悪し痛めつけながら While hating and hurting themselves.
人は生きていけるものなのだろうか Can people really continue to live?
Notes:
***Info taken from wikipedia***
p11
恥の多い生涯を送って来ました。 Literally translated: I've come to send off a life full of shame, but I've decided to put it as I've lived a life full of shame because it was translated the same way in the first chapter. It is also the first line of Ningen Shikkaku and the official English translation of that sentence is also along the lines of I've lived a life full of shame.
けれど、嘘に嘘を重ねるごとに、心はすり減ってゆくばかりでした。
it says roughly "but piling up lies one by one, only makes your heart smaller" but i went with colder because it sounds better
p13 "「人間失格」(Ningen Shikkaku) a book by 太宰治(Dazai Osamu). Its been translated by Donald Keene and the English title is "No Longer Human"

p1
-つきあってもいいよ、自分はあの子にいいました。 I said to her "I'll go out with you".
-あの子は子犬のように無邪気に笑いました She smiled innocently like a puppy.
p2
-恋をすれば人は変わるといいます It's said that people change when they fall in love.
-だとしたら、あの子こそ、自分の救いになるかもしらない If that's true, then she just might be my savior.
-自分は、愛や優しさを持たぬお化けではなく当たり前の人間になるかもしらない。 Maybe I can become an ordinary person, instead of a monster that can neither love nor be kind.
-胸が焼け焦げそうなほど強く、自分は願ったのです I wished for it so strongly, my chest felt like it was on fire.
-ああ、どうか、どうか、 Oh, please, please.
-その無垢な輝きで自分を救ってください。 Please save me with your pure light.
p3
-けれど、あの子も、自分が人を殺したことを知ったら、それでも自分を愛してくれるでしょうか。 But, would she still love me if she found out that I had killed someone?
-優しい人だと思ってくれるでしょうか。 Would she still think that I was a kind person?
-自分はお化けです。 I am a monster.
-あの日、やわらかな肉が押しつぶされ、甘酸っぽいような香りのする赤い血が、黒いアスファルトの上に広がってゆくのを、 That day, crushing the soft flesh, with the bittersweet scent of blood spreading out on top of the black asphalt,
-空っぽの心で眺めていました。 I looked on with an empty heart.
p4
-自分は、人間を、殺しました。 I killed someone.

-竹田さんもう手紙いらないのかな Maybe she doesn't need the letters anymore.
-一応確かめておいた方がいい。。。よね？ It’s better if I checked just to make sure... right?
-それとも風邪で休んでるだけなのかな。。。 Or maybe she caught a cold and took the day off...
p20
-もしかしてぼくの書いた手紙のせいでケンカになったんだとしたら What if they got into a fight because of my letters...?

-ごめんねよっちゃん先行ってて Sorry, Yo-chan, go ahead without me.
-心葉先輩こっちこっち Konoha-senpai, this way, this way.
-あ あれ？ Ah Eh?
-なんかずいぶん明るくないか？ She's pretty energetic isn't she?
p22
-えへへ 心葉先輩のほうからいらっしゃるなんて Ehehe. For Konoha-senpai to come to me.
-びっくりしちゃいましたよお It really surprised me.
-昨日泣いてたから It’s because you were crying yesterday.
-大丈夫かな。。。と思って I was wondering if you were o.k.
-あー あれですか？ Oh that?
-全然大したことないです It was nothing at all.
-ちょっとナーバスになっちゃったとゆーか I was only a bit nervous.
-心葉先輩が優しい顔してたからつい甘えてしまったというか。。。 Because you were making such a kind face, I just acted a little spoiled.
-恥ずかしいからもう忘れてください It’s embarrassing so please forget about it.
p23
-愁二先輩と Did something happen?
-なにかあったんじゃないの？ Between you and Shuuji-senpai?
-あ やっぱりなにがあったんだ Ah. So something really did happen between them.
-。。。その。。。 ...That is...
-愁二先輩ちょっと悩んでるみたいなんです Shuuji-senpai seems to be worried about something.
p24
-昨日愁二先輩からお手紙いただいたんですけで内容が。。。 I received a letter from him yesterday, but the contents...
-手紙？ A letter?
-けどあたしはホンとに元気ですよお～ But I’m really feeling better today~~
-そうだ心葉先輩 That’s right, Konoha-senpai,
-今日もお手紙いただけますか？ Do you have a letter for me today?
p25
-うん 持って来たよ Yea, I brought it with me.
-ありがとうございます Thank you.
-きっと愁二先輩もお手紙を読めば元気になると思います I’m sure Shuuji-senpai will feel better after reading it.
-次は移動教室だから The next class is outside, so...
-もう失礼しますね I'll be excusing myself.
-それじゃあ Bye.
-いやむしろぼくの書いた手紙で悩み始めたのならどうしよう。。。 Wait, what if my letters were the start of his worries...
p26
-片岡愁二先輩。。。か Kataoka Shuuji-senpai...huh?
-どんな人なだろうな I wonder what kind of person he is.
-そういえば弓道部って Speaking of the archery club…
-ねえ Hey.
-芥川くんは弓道部だったよね？ You're in the archery club, aren't you, Akutagawa-kun?
p27
-ああ そうだが Yea, that's right.
-弓道部の三年生に There’s a third year student,
-片岡愁二って人がいるよね With the name Kataoka Shuuji in the archery club right?
-いや知らん No. Not that I know of.
-えっあれ？ W...what?
-もしかして名前がちょっと違ってるのかな？ Could I have mistaken the name?
-シュウちゃんとか シュウ先輩とか 呼ばれてるらしんだけど He’s called Shuu-chan or Shuu-senpai though.
p28
-藤村修也というやつならいるが There's someone called Fujimura Shuuya.
-三年じゃなくて二年だ But he’s a second year, not third.
-それにジュウちゃんとも呼ばれてなかったと思う And if I remember correctly he's never been called Shuu-chan.
-他にシュウっていう人はいないの？ Are there any other people called Shuu?
-部では聞かんあ Haven't heard of any in the club.
-どういうことだろう What’s going on here?
-竹田さんが勘違いしてるのかな Could Takeda-san have made a mistake?
-ーけど 告白前ならともかく If it was before she confessed it would be a different story but,
-今は普通に手紙を渡したり話したりているはずなのに She's supposedly giving letters and talking to him regularly.
-名前を間違えておぼえているなんてことが有りえるのだろうか Is it even possible that she got confused and remembered the wrong name?
p29
-芥川くん Akutagawa-kun.
-弓道部って見学させてもらえるかな？ Does the archery club allow non-members to observe practice?
-入部希望者が練習を見に来るからかまわんだろう If you're thinking of joining and want to see how we practice then its fine.
-オレから顧問に話しとく I'll talk to the adviser.
-ありがとう Thanks.
p30
-うーん一目惚れするくらいだから Hmm. It was enough to fall in love at first sight so...
-やっぱり見た目もそこそこのはずだようねえ So, his appearance shouldn't be that bad.
-弓道部で一番カッコいいのってどう見ても芥川くんだようなあ No matter how you look at it, the coolest person in the archery club is Akutagawa-kun.
-けど竹田さんは愁二先輩は見た目と違って But Takeda-san said that contrary to his appearance,
-普段はひょきんで人気者ですっていってたし He normally has a humorous face and is popular.
-芥川くんがひょうきんっていうのは Saying that Akutagawa-kun's face is humorous…
-はてしなく無理があるような。。。 That would be impossible...
p31
-それとも教室ではクールだけど部活てはひょうきんだったりするのかなあ Could it be that he acts colder in the classroom while being humorous during club activities?
-井上 Inoue.
-部長に愁二といいう人のことを訊いてみたが I talked to the captain about that Shuuji person but…
-やぱり知らんそうだ As I thought he doesn't know anyone with that name.
-弓道部じゃないのか？ It wasn't the archery club?
-いやでも。。。 But...
-謎は深まるばかりだ The mystery only gets deeper and deeper.
p32
-あ こんにちは Ah. Good afternoon,
-心葉くん Konoha-kun.
-あ～ やっぱり昨日の傘持ってるってのは嘘だったんだな Ah. I knew it, the talk about having an umbrella yesterday was a lie.
-雨に濡れて帰って風邪をひいちゃったんだ Getting wet in the rain on her way home and catching a cold.
p33
-その。。。傘 Um...your umbrella.
-ありがとうござました Thank you.
-どーいたしまして You’re welcome.
-わたしも心葉くんの傘ロッカーに返しておいたわ I returned your umbrella to the locker.
-いままでありがとう Thank you for letting me use it until now.
-風邪みたいですけど It looks like you have a cold.
-大丈夫ですか？ Are you alright?
-平気平気 I'm fine. I'm fine
p34
-昨日お風呂でカーとランドの修道院の女神を読み返してたらつい夢中になっちゃって Last night, I was reading the Cartland's "Priori no Megami" in the bathtub and dozed off.
-水風呂になってたのに気づかながったの Before I knew it the water turned cold.
-すぐ治るわ I’ll get better before you know it.
-お湯が水になるほどつからないでください Please don't stay in so long that the hot water turns cold.
-それじゃ本もページがふやけてへにゃへにゃになっちゃうでしょう Then the book got soggy didn't it?
-そ。れ。が。また美味しいのようね～ That is also delicious isn't it ~~.
-ビスケットをピンク色のシャンパンに浸して食べるような感じ？ Like eating a biscuit that's been dipped in pink champagne?
p35
-シャンパインは風呂水の味も入浴剤の味もしないと思いますけど I don't think champagne tastes like bath water or bathing powder.
-もお 本当に夢がないんだから Geez. You really aren't much of a dreamer.
-ところで心葉くん By the way Konoha-kun.
-今日はずいぶんゆっくりだったのね You really took your time getting here today didn't you?
-また日直だったの？ Were you on duty today?
-えっと。。。 Umm...
-日直じゃなくて弓道部へ見学に行ってなんです I wasn't on duty; I just went to observe the archery club.
-弓道部？ Archery club?
-。。。 ...
-実は昨日。。。 The truth is, yesterday...
p36
-まあ Oh my.
-そんなことがあったの？ Something like that happened?
-そうだわ That's right.
-図書室のパソコンで全生徒の名前をみることができるはずよ You can check the names of every student in the school using the computer in the library room.
-行ってみましょう Let’s go check it out
p37
-こ 心葉くんお願い Ko-Konoha-kun please.
-わたし機械は相性が悪いの I’m not compatible with machines.
-相性って... Compatible you say...
-ただ検索するだけですよ It's just a matter of the right query.
p38
-四人は女子ですね 4 of them are girls huh.
-シュウジに似た名前はないわ There are no names similar to Shuuji.
-心葉くん。。。 Konoha-kun...
-ええ Yea.
p39
-なんてこった Damn
-片岡愁二という人間は弓道部だけではなくこの学園に存在していないのだ The person named Kataoka Shuuji, it's not just that he isn't a member of the Archery Club, hes not even a student at this school.
Notes:
p34
The book that Tooko-senpai is referring to is 修道院の女神(Priori No Megami) or "The Haunted Heart."
p35
"Were you on duty today?" - In Japanese high schools, students are responsible for the cleanliness of the school and their classrooms, so students take turns cleaning up the classrooms or halls at the end of the day. https://mangahelpers.com/t/krelian/releases/12502[English] [Translation] "Bungaku Shoujo" to Shinitagari no Pierrot 4 by Krelian2009-05-21T21:13:40+00:00Krelianadmin@mangahelpers.comfirst a big thank you to serizawa for pointing out the mistakes and making suggestions, THANK YOU

第4章:僕は一生恋をしない Chapter 4: I will never love
うわ本格的に降ってきたぞ Konoha: Wow It's really pouring out there
降水確率は五十パーセントだったのになあ The chance of rain was only 50 percent
p2 文芸部のロッカーの傘がちゃんと残っているといいんだけど It'd be great if there was an umbrella left in the literature club's locker.
あごめなさーい Tooko: Ah, sorry.
先週雨が降ったときに借りて I took it when it rained last week
返すの忘れちゃった and forgot to return it.
あの人は他人のものは自分のもの -That person thinks whats others is hers,
自分のものは自分のものだからなあ and whats hers is hers.
あ しまった Konoha: Oh damn
古典の教科書教室に置いてきちゃった I left my Classics textbook in the classroom.
p3
え 絵里も芥川狙いなんだ マジ？ Eh You're really going after Akutagawa too?
女子が残っておしゃべりをしているのか -Some girls stayed behind and are gossiping huh!?
入りにくいな Going in is going to be difficult
ちなみに芥川くんというのは -Speaking of Akutagawa-kun,
うちのクラスで一番背が高い寡黙な人だ he's the tallest person in the class, a shy guy.
大人っぽくて涼しげで賢そうな顔つきをしているのでモテるのもわかる -Hes mature, cool and has an intelligent face, its no wonder hes popular.
p4
さて次はななせの番よ -Well then, next is Nanase's turn.
ななせって琴吹さん？ -Nanase is Kotobuki-san?
まさかななせも芥川くんじゃないよね -Theres no way Nanase would pick Akutagawa too right?
わ～それだけはやめて -Nｏ~ Please don't say that.
ななせ美人だから勝ち目ないよ Nanase is beautiful so I'd have no chance at all.
。。。あたしは Nanase: ...I
あの口悪くて琴吹きの強い琴吹さんが好きになるなんて一体どんな人だろう - I wonder just what kind of person the bad mouthed, strong willed Kotobuki-san likes.
p5
好きなやつはいないよ Nanase: I don't have anyone that i like,
嫌いなやつならいるけど。。。 but i do have someone that i hate.
へえ誰？ -Eh... who?
嫌いな人。。。？ - Someone she hates...?
p6
井上心葉 Inoue Konoha
p7 えーなんで？ -Eh- why?
井上くんって人当たりいいし嫌われるタイプじゃないと思うけど Inoue-kun has good manners and i don't think hes the type that people hate.
そうそう話し方も優しいしにこにこしてて感じいいじゃん - Yea yea, the way he speaks is kind and the way he smiles is nice too.
そこがムカつくの Nanase: That's what pisses me off.
いっつもわざとらしい薄笑い浮かべててさ Always showing that faint and fake smile,
おなかの中でなにを考えてんのかわからなくて気持ち悪い not knowing what he's thinking deep down is just creepy.
p8
どうしてこなこと言われなきゃならないんだ -Why does she have to say something like that?
モンゴメリにファージョンにリンドクレンにマクラクランにカートランドにジョーダンに西鶴に漱石に鷗外に宮沢賢治にきむらゆういちさんに Montgomery and Farjeon and Lindgren and Maclachlan and Cartland and Jordan and Saikaku and Soseki and Ohgai and Miyazawa Kenji and Kimura Yuichi-san and

それから それから。。。 Tooko: and and ...
食べ物の話しじゃありません Konoha: We're not talking about food here.
遠子先輩は恋をしたことってありすか Have you ever been in love?
え？コイ？ Tooko: Eh? Love?
食べる鯉じゃありませんよ Konoha: We're not talking about the edible fish koi.
ラブの恋ですよ Its love "koi".
恋ならいつもいてるけど tooko: If it's koi then i know all about it.
だから食べ物じゃなくて konoha: Like i said we're not talking about food.
人間に恋したことはありますかて訊いたんです I'm asking you have ever been in love with a person.
p26
いくらブルーだからってこの人に色恋の話なんて振ったぼくがバカだった -Even if it is out of the blue, I am an idiot for talking to this person about love.
え？ -Eh?
p27
なんだこのハードボイルドのテーマ曲でも流れてきそうな -Whats with this adult and serious mood?
アダルトでシリアスな空気は -It looks like one of those scenes where those "hard boiled" theme songs are played in the background...
ひょっとして過去に辛い恋の経験でもあるのだろうか？ -Could it be that she's experienced a painful love before?
わたしね。。。 Tooko: You see I...
p28
恋愛大殺界中なの Tooko: Im in a catastrophically bad time for love right now.
はあ？ Konoha: Huh?
今年の初めにしんXの母に恋愛運を見てもらったのよ Tooko: At the beginning of the year, I went to "Shinxxx no haha" to see my love fortune.
そうしたらあなたは生まれたときから恋愛大殺界で And it said that I've been in a catastrophically bad time for love since birth.
恋をしても空回りするばかりで Even if I find love, I'd just be meaningless.
トラブルが怒涛のように押し寄せ Troubles will keep coming one after another without end.
成就したとしても長続きはせず必ず破局するって Even if we start going out, the relationship wont last long.
あでもねでもねっ -Ah but but
七年後に大殺界が終わって after 7 years that will end,
運命の人に会えるんですって and I'll be able to meet my the person destined for me.
p29
七年後の夏に鮭をくわえた熊の前で - After 7 years, in front of a bear with salmon in his mouth,
白いマフラーを巻いた男性と with a man wearing a white muffler,
運命の恋に落ちるって予言されたのよ - we'll fall into a prophesied, destined love.
って なんでその男は夏にマフラー巻いてんですか Konoha: And why would that guy be wearing a muffler in the summer?
そもそも熊の前でのんきに恋愛してなら食われます In the first place, nonchalantly falling in love in front a bear, you'll get eaten.

そのことを琴吹さんに指摘されて惨めな思いをしたばかりなのに -Having it all pointed out by Kotobuki-san, I've felt nothing but misery.
遠子先輩に対してはつい素の自分が出てしまう -But when it comes to Tooko-senpai, I just cant help but be honest.

嘘でもいいからえがおで取り繕えたらいいのにと思う -I think its fine to smile even if it is a lie.
なのに言葉も表情もかえってぎくしやくするばかりで情けない -But showing with awkward words and expressions is pitiful.
どうしたらもっと上手に嘘をつけるようになるんだろう -Just what do i have to do to be able to lie better.

Scholars have described numerous extraordinary feats of solo haikai composition at one sitting; most famously, over the course of a single day and night in 1677, Saikaku is reported to have composed at least 16,000 haikai stanzas,[1] with some rumors placing the number at over 23,500 stanzas.[2]
Later in life he began writing racy accounts of the financial and amorous affairs of the merchant class and the demimonde. These stories catered to the whims of the newly prominent merchant class, whose tastes of entertainment leaned toward the arts and pleasure districts.
