I have no interest in this manga, so no need to ask for further releases of it. This is an exceptional, one-time thing.
This is a Twilight Dream Scans translation, by the way. -------------------------------------- 01 ANNOUNCEMENT!!!/THE SECRETS OF THE SPRAY KING, TO BE REVEALED AT LAST!!
02-03 Narrator: Kotobuki Town Caption: "Evil" lurks in the city that is home to Miu and her friends!!! Narrator: In the central part of the city public order is far worse than anywhere else, and the area is completely enclosed within a wall.//Those outside never come anywhere near it, and that territory is completely forsaken by ordinary people........//Right in the middle of the town, the Kotobuki Central Tower stands baleful, looming ominously over its surroundings. Zex: That's all I have to report, sir!
04 Zex: However, Boss......../Should you give the order I, Zex Rock would bring you that King guy's head on a pike!! Boss: ........ Hmph.... Zex: I'd settle the matter this very night, before you're able to finish your painting. Boss: ......
05 Boss: Yet another dispute between "Children", is it............? Zex: (He... Hey...!! He's just letting that lion run free...?!)//The reward for rebellion against you is death, Boss. It's only natural. ...Furthermore
06 Zex: Unlike Ace/as long as I can achieve victory, I'm not very particular about the means. I'll never commit the kind of blunder that would allow the King to escape my vigilance......... Ace: ........ Zex: You haven't... forgotten what the Boss' goals were about, have you.//We Children are meant to restore "Man" to his original self!![tn: "Man" is meant here in a general sense, not as the gender.]
07 Mugen: In the beginning, "Man" knew no such things as "morality" or "ethics"......../These came to him as life went on. A wrongful legacy!!//People quarrel over their different perceptions of those things, and they hate because of them. Zex: ! Mugen: As a result, only "Men" devolved back into killing other "Men" to further their own selfish interests.//Now, in order put the degenerate "Man" back on the track of evolution/our mission is to let loose their "greed". Zex: Okutou Mugen?!
08 Boss: Well said... I'll let the two of you eliminate the King, as he is a hindrance to us!! Zex: (Wha...?! He's having his own arm bitten...?!)/Bu... But...//I'd be more than capable of killing him on my own. Please reconsider...!! Boss: You said something.... about settling this tonight, before my painting was over.........
09 Boss: Now it's complete!!/Go kill the King, and be quick about it!! Zex: (.........?! He painted the fruit with his own blood...?!)/Ye... Yes sir!!//He... Hey, Mugen... I'll thank you not to be a thorn in my side!! Ace: .......
10 Miu: Whoaaa... You actually live in that bus, Tora...?
11 Miu: It's junk!! Aya: Miu-chan... come on!! Tora: No, it's fine. She's telling the truth. So I don't mind much. Miu: Woooow. I didn't expect it to be so pretty and well-kept inside.//(Very well. Now's my chance to turn up everything I don't know yet about this Tora guy!! He must be hiding something!!) Tora: No suddenly turning my house upside down looking for stuff, please... Miu: (Ummmm... I did have a feeling something was up, and yet...) Tora: May I know whatever business you have with me, today...? Miu: No way around it. Let's ask the man himself directly... Side note: SPRAY KING|A mysterious individual who sucks the "greed" out of the ruffians in Kotobuki Town and leaves his graffiti behind.[tn: I don't think I got it wrong, but check it for accuracy before implementation, just to be on the safe side.] Bottom Note: SUMMARY|The Spray King leaves a trail of his mind-bending graffiti behind. Is he the town's protector, or something else entirely...?! Today, Kuroda Miu rushes in her quest to uncover the truth!
12 Tora: Uh... Eeerm... What's this..........? Miu: A lie-detector!! Tora: Eh?! What for...?! Miu: Answer during the ring, and when you're done, press the button.//Question {1}. You are a poor artist. Tora: Wai... So soon?!//I... I'm not all that bad, you know? Miu: Alright, press the button. Tora: AGH?! Side note: KURODA MIU|A self-styled photographing beauty. Seeking to discover the Spray King's true identity on one of the "hunches" that are her specialty.
13 Miu: There!! This is what you get for lying about your artistic skills.//Question {2}. You've been at a relative's place lately. Tora: .... Yes.//NGAAAAAAH!! Aya: To... Tora-kun, I never knew you lied so much! Miu: Question {3}./You are the Spray King. Tora: ...../......//I'm not... Side note: TANAKA TORATERU|Nicknamed Tora. Attends Art School, though he's a poor artist. Meek an unassuming, which maybe explains why his entourage has so little trouble pushing him around.
14 Tora: AYAYAYAAAAAAAAYE!! Aya: Uh?! Miu: You show your true colors at last, Spray King. Tora: I... I don't know what you mean. What on Earth are you talking about...? Miu: Silence!! Drop the silly act!! Aya: Just what is that contraptions?//I'm a girl. ........Yup.//AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! Miu-chaaaaan, what is the meaning of thiiiiiiis?!! Miu: A... Ayame-senpai?! Don't touch is so carelessly!! Narrator: Supplement./This game can be played with 2 to 4 people. When the lamp in the middle changes color, whoever's last to push the button gets an electric shock. But if you push the button during the ring, it's a guaranteed penalty, and you get shocked as well!! Critter: This is no lie detector at all!! Aya: I'm going outside to get some fresh air. I'll take the opportunity to do some shopping... Miu: I'm sorry, Ayame-senpai... Tora: Apologize to me, too. Side note: HOUZUKI AYAME|An outstandingly gifted artist, even by the standards of the Art School's students. Has been Miu's senpai in Art Club since middle school.
15 Miu: (Aaaah... I was unable to get some material for my scoop, ultimately.//Oh, well. It's not like anything would happen around a softie like him. Guess I've been overthinking things...) Tora: [note]//Something wrong? You look thoughtful... Miu: ! Nice fragrance......... Tora: That tea's a local big shot article. Miu: Whoa. Tastes good.//........
16 Miu: (A boy and a girl. Pretty much all alone in a secret room?!)//You... you-you... You had it all planned out, didn't you?! That was your goal all along. Tora: ? Miu: (Guess I should be okay, though. This guy wouldn't harm a fly... >He's such a pushover, too<//No... Guys like him are even more likely to be brooding predators, quite unexpectedly...//Wh... wha-wha-what nooooow? Gotta find something to change the mood...)*nervous* Miu: !
17 Miu: ?//Is this... an astrological chart...? Tora: Give that back, it's important!! It's a really important talisman to protect this pla......... Miu: What's that about?! Are you part of some kind of religion?! Tora: No I'm not!! Miu: What, then? A prayer for your secret love? Aya: I'm baaaack! And I brought a lot of pastries with meeee!
18 Aya: So... Sorry to interrupt...!! I... never knew the two of you got along so well... Miu: Wha... Wha-wha What are you talking about?! This is... I was merely pummeling him!! Like this!! Like this!! Tora: Ack!!//Ack!! Aya: So... Sorry I bothered you... Miu: NOOOOOOO. *glare* Tora! Uh...!!
19 Miu: So? What's that astrological chart about? Tora: Nothing special... Miu: And I'm supposed to swallow that?! I wouldn't have gotten into such a misunderstanding otherwise!! Tora: !!//Miu-san......... My apologies, but would you be so kind as to call it a day and return home? Miu: ! Don't get ahead of yourself, pal... Tora: You see, it's already gotten dark... Miu: Eh...?/(Wha... .......What?)
20 Tora: If you don't get home soon, you're gonna be in danger, you know? Miu: (He... Here we are. He really was one of those flesh-eating beasts, after all?!)//That's right. I've just remembered some business I had to take care of. So I'll be on my way.........
21 Mugen: The King has assumed complete control over the 10th, 7th, 9th and 1st districts of Kotobuki Town...//Why he would rise up against us, I can't tell... There's just no figuring him out... King: Okutou Mugen... Mugen: !
22 King: I never expected even you would be going after me... Mugen: !!//King....... King: Though I'd rather avoid a confrontation with you if I can... Mugen: Hogwash!! You knew it would come to this the moment you defected, did you not?! King: !!
23 King: Must I fight you, then? Is there no other way ? Mugen: You're foolish to ask....... I'm under orders from the Boss. I have to kill you. King: ....... I see.
24 Mugen: You don't understand... King: ! Mugen: We are meant to return "Man" to its original, truthful state...//We are the harbingers of "Man's" righteous evolution./Why do you oppose us?!
25 King: Because you guys are wrong!! Mugen: Oh yes?//!! King: YOUR "COLOR" IS/MINE!!
26 King: ?! Mugen: Too bad for you... For me, trusting in the Boss is everything...//Because of this I hold no such thing as "greed".
27 Mugen: (.........That said, his attacks were absolutely free of the slightest trace of darkness... ...Just what is the meaning of this...?! Zex: Hey!!
28 Zex: Don't ya die at the hands of that Mugen guy! King: Zex Rock?! Zex: Your friggin' "Sound" is mine, bitch!! King: !//Kh......... Zex: Haha! Nobody ever won against me with their mix shaken out of harmony!!
29 Zex: ... Although, what with Mugen sticking his flippin' nose in my flippin' business... Bah, never mind! Looks like he didn't harm you fatally, after all!! King: ?! Zex: Heh heh. In your current state, this sound should be enough to rob you of your balance... They call that junk Derangement Machinery.[tn: "Derangement" is to be understood as "confusion", but the author obviously picked the first word that popped up in whatever bot translation he used for this.]
30 Zex: And... What's a stage without its lavish decorations?!! King: !! Zex: Haha!! Be careless enough to touch them, and it's a one-way ticket to the underworld! King: !
31 Zex: An attack rhythm that matches the beat... The greatest one-man live ever!! Don't you miss out on it!//!!//!!//Don't do that. You're making it harder to fit in. Bitch.
32 Zex: Out with the bad noise!!//!!//Gotcha!!
33 King: !!//Kh!! Zex: I cut down those cables because I intended to do this all along!!
34 King: .........!! Zex: Haha!! How d'you like it?!! My power is nothing to sneeze at, don't ya think?!//Give it up!! You can't with this battle!! King: My... "fight".........../won't end till I've sucked the "greed" out of every last one of you..........
35 Miu: I'll say, today was day without, really.../Couldn't get any scoop... Got into a misunderstanding over that scrap of paper with a Zodiac on it...//(?! Zodiac...? That's 12 signs........./And come to think of it, Kotobuki Town is also divided in in districts 1 to 12........... Aya: His graffiti follow some kind of rule, and they also have certain things in common. My gut tells me so... King: I'll keep fighting as long as at least one person believes in me. Miu: .......//Eh?/(Could this be.........)
36-37 Miu: He's painting those Zodiac graffiti all over Kotobuki... King: In order to protect the city!! Zex: Kyahahahaha!! The hell?! What are you smoking?!//Who fights over stuff like that?!! King: I have my own reasons to want to protect the town. Even if it means rebelling against "Father" to do so.[tn: Father=Boss. The Japanese text has been swapping the "oya" (father) reading for "Boss". Except this once, hence the different translation.] Zex: That ego is precisely what the Boss can't stand!!/You really deserve to fucking die!!
38 Zex: !!
39 Zex: What do you think you're doing, Mugen...?! Let me go!! Mugen: I see... So the lack of darkness in your attacks comes from the strength of your will...//Very well... Let's see just how far we children with an ego can oppose the Boss. King: ?! Mugen: My ability, "Eight" is a tool of revival. With the ability to restore any and all. King: ........ Mugen: King. I would watch you "fight"........... King: Sure!!
40 King: NO ONE CAN WIPE MY "COLOR" AWAY!! Zex: Whoa... WHOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaah!!
41 Zex: It... It can't... be... ...God...... ...damn... it... Mugen: (I see. He uses the stolen "greed" to pain his graffiti...)/King... What are you going to paint? King: .........//"OUROBOROS". The Serpent God who bites His own tail, symbolizing the Cycle of Reincarnation at its utmost greatness... Mugen: ...Uh-hum... On top of your protecting the town, you would seek infinite potential... Fine by me. King: ?
42-43 Mugen: Make no mistake!! King: ! Mugen: I doubt your idea of justice can prevail against the Boss' way of thinking.
44 Mugen: But... I guess I've gotten in the mood of seeking a "battle" of my own!! King: ......... I see... Caption: The King finds a companion in arms, at last!![/endhttps://mangahelpers.com/t/vegi/releases/15254[Polski] [Translation] Spray King 3 by Vegi2009-08-19T13:40:33+00:00Vegiadmin@mangahelpers.comSTRONA 1 W ODPOWIEDZI NA OSTATNIE SPOSTRZEŻENIA I PRZYTŁACZAJĄCE ŻĄDANIA, OTO KOLOROWA OKŁADKA ORAZ NIESAMOWITY 46-STRONICOWY ROZDZIAŁ!!

01 top left corner: Check out this Graffiti-action title everyone's talking about! white bold upper right: King loses!? / Wait until you see this plot twist! vertical on right is "Rival Comics' Spray King volume 1 - in stores now!!" next to title in the middle is "Chapter 5!" and below that is the author, Mikuni Shin
skipping the rest
02 -You took out 3 of my boys -It's about time I stop taking you lightly...and handle you myself!
bold: The destined clash has finally begun!
03 -That's it! Give me all you got!
04 -Eat this!
05 sfx bub: Grab
06 -Good, good!...I can tell you're serious!
-But if you can't do better than that, you'll never defeat me
07 can: Fwoooo
-Huh!? Something's off...it's not like when he normally absorbs "Greed"... -But--!
08 -You're too slow! sfx bubs: paki (not sure, maybe like the sound a balloon makes)
09 -Kuh!
-As long as you insist on fighting to protect this town, -You'll never have what it takes to stand up to me!
10-11 pwn'd
12 -You were no big deal after all...
-Oh...your weakness is sunlight, huh -...that's why...
13 -Way to go, Ace-sama! -Hurry and finish him off!
-No thanks -If he isn't in top form, it's meaningless to me -Huh?
-Heh!
-Let's roll! -Y-yessir!
14 -whimper x2
-whimper x2
-WOOF x4
15 -A few days later
16 -Man! Why hasn't Spray King shown himself recently? -Um, Miu-chan? About that... -I heard a rumor that King was found around here beaten up pretty badly -Hmm...well, that's what you get for fighting -Well yes, but the thing is...
-What!? -Spray King...lost!?
17 -H-hey, you kids! -Watch out! People are getting riled up for no reason around here! -You'd better go home before you get mixed up with them!
-Can it, ya moron! -shuuuu -Uwa!! What are you--
sfx bubs - Gawa x2
-U-UWAAAAAA -FIND SPRAY KING! -He's wounded! -He has to be around here! After him! -Where are you hiding, friggin' vandal!
-Ehehe! What a pack of morons! -Letting us set them berserk...! -You said it! -If we turn this ward upside-down, Ace-sama is sure to praise us!
18 -But if we really want Ace-sama's recognition, -we'll need to take King's head!
-With those wounds, he couldn't have gone far...
19 -W-what's going on here!? -Since when was this section of the city so violent? -If only we had a guy with us, like Tora-kun... -He, uh, wouldn't be any help...
-Whimper x2
-Hey, little guy! Why are you here? -Weren't you with Tora? ---Hey, Miu-chan, that's--!!
-King's spray can!?
-Where did you find it!? -Hey, wait up!!
20 -Are you awake, child?
-You must be -the rumored Spray King, right?
-This entire ward is in an uproar trying to find the injured Spray King, so I guessed you must be him -... -Why...did you rescue me...
-As long as you insist on fighting to protect this town, -You'll never have what it takes to stand up to me! -You don't want to get involved with me
21 -I sense that you feel lost, my child -And that feeling probably led to the wounds you bear right now...
-I have been blind from birth -But I was blessed to be able to see into people's hearts
-When people are lost, they come to this church to rediscover their way -Until you do, I'll protect you. So please, rest up.
22 -Eh?! -Spray King isn't here??
-I'm sorry...but I have heard the rumors -Oh...I see... dog: BIKU (fear? shock? dunno...)
-W-well, if you do learn anything, could you please contact us? -We're worried about him, hearing he was wounded and all... -Huh?
-If he's not here, he's not here! -We're leaving! (<-this is one bubble) -W-wait...
-You people aren't searching for Spray King -to harm him, are you?
23 -Well, sure we're searching for him, but... -We don't see him as a petty vandalist
-There's something he's fighting for that none of us know about -Not to mention we owe our lives to him!
-Is that right? I, too, got that sense of him -My "eyes" saw no corruption in him...
-Hmm? And what does that mean?? -Sounds like you might know something!! -Ah...n-not at all...
24 -Yeah, hurry up an' tell us! -Or die!
-W-Where did you two come from!? -Ehehe...us? We're...
-Ace-sama's personal servants, The Rat Brothers--!!
25 -What--!? -YO, KING! GET OUT HERE!
-Got your arse handed to you by Ace, and now you're a pathetic coward!? -Ehehe...Who else is going to stop the citizens we drove berserk?
-So King actually did lose...? -...but what do they mean by driving citizens berserk?
-Stop it! You are in the House of God! Watch your tongue! -Haa?
26 -Shut your trap, sister!
-We don't care if you're a nun or not, -we'll kill you and find King ourselves if you don't cooperate! -This is your last chance!
-Okay. Please follow me... -That's what you should've done in the first place! -'Zactly!
-N-no---!
27 sfx bub - Creeak
-Please get out.
-Haah!?! You screwing with us!? -We said, bring us King!
-I refuse! I'll never yield to those given to violence! -NEVER!
--That's IT! We're gonna use you guys to teach King a lesson! -Eeek! Stop it!
-So, what kinda lesson we gonna teach, bro? -Kuh... -Heh! Ain't it obvious?
28 -Ehehe! -Burn King and his buddies to a crisp!
-Those guys are insane!! -What do we do!? We're completely surrounded by flames!
-I have to do something, fast! -But I'm losing consciousness...
29 -At the very least, please save those two! -I want to help them...
-...even if that costs me my life
-Oh, Lord -Please...hear my prayer
30
31 -Ehehe...about time, -brother!
-I'm no brother to you! -Don't you guys have any shame!?
-Hah! We only care about becoming the next "Brothers" ---Thanks to you opening up those empty spots!!
-Kuh!!
32 -Did you think you could beat us with those wounds!?
-Don't underestimate us, King
-Sure, we're no match for Ace-sama alone... -BUT! Together, we're just as strong as him! -No...even stronger!!
33 -You're as good as dead!
-koooo x2
-paki x2
-Ehehe! See this, King? It's Ace-sama's trademark technique! -haa x3 -paki x2 -The other brothers are too weak to use it! Only we can!!
-FWOOOOO
-That sound...a new move he was trying to pull when he fought Ace...!? -But with Ace's very own technique, there's no way we can lose!
34 -You, stronger than Ace? Peh! Don't make me laugh!
-What!? He can use it too!? -Wait...it's...different!?
-Shit! Don't chicken out, he's bluffing! -Yeah, I know!
35 -What IS that!? His graffiti is circling him, deflecting all attacks!?
-But it's only good for defense! -That's not enough to beat u--
36-37 -YOUR "COLOR" IS ALL WASHED OUT! -Gu--GUWAAAAAA
-Ggh...haa... sfx bub - kuru (shaking?)
38-39 pure pwnage
40 -When you see Ace, tell him for me: -Look forward to the real showdown!
41 -Thank you for rescuing me -...But I'm very sorry. -Because you got involved with me, the church was destroyed...
-Not at all...To me, my eyes, this event... -Everything are but trials the Lord has given me to overcome
-That crystal-clear faith of yours -is what's enabled you to help countless lives... -Oh, no...it's nothing compared to what you've done
42 -And speaking of which, -That Graffiti you painted...I don't sense any ounce of hesitation from it -Y-you can see it?!
-...yes! -With my mind's eye, I can see your unwavering conviction!
-I have you to thank for that
-...Teaching me all over again what it means to have confidence for what I believe in
43 -The next day... -"Kaso" -"Engulfed in a flame that never dies, a rat with the ability to endure even the fiercest of infernos" ----is what it says. (t/n - a fire rat of chinese legend. i can't find any english references on it, but here's the japanese wiki for anyone who wants it: click here.)
-Oh, so that's what it stood for ---Hey, wait!! I missed yet another chance to film him!
-Well even if I did, he'd have probably said-- -"Don't allow yourself to be scorched by the fiery flames of adversity!" ---or something like that -haha...I, uh...guess so... below sfx is "hand towel"
-Anyway, it looks like peace and order have returned to that part of town... -And the church is receiving donations, so maybe it'll be fixed soon? -But we lost all our leads on Spray King! -Yeah well, at least he was okay...
-But even more questions have cropped up! Some guy called "Ace" seems to be King's arch-enemy...
44 -And then those attackers mentioned something about driving people berserk...? -I don't have answers to anything! I have to try researching every little clue, no matter small...!
-H-hey guys! Long time no see! -Sorry that I wasn't there to help out with your last Spray King hunt...
-Where in the world have you been, Tora-kun? -I wasn't able to connect to your cell at all! -Sorry~ I had some family stuff to deal with, so I returned to the countryside for a bit -The reception's terrible out there...
-Come to think of it, Tora's never around when Spray King shows up...
-Maybe I should do a background check on him...? bold: Miu's "vision" kicks in!

Strip on left: >My Wish
-I'm the doggie that's been in Spray King since Ch. 2 -The stupid author aside, nobody else has given me a name!
-Listen up! You've got a good nose, -so I want you to track down Spray King's scent, got it!? -Eh---!?
-If you can find him, I'll by you a doghouse! -All I need is cover from wind and rain, not a house...
-So...how about we give you a name? -WOOF WOOF WOOF!

box: A suspicious scent
-Nuu?! It smells...kind of like Spray King!! -huh?
-Your "true identity"...is mine! -Owowow! What did I do!?
-Looks like I'll catch on to killer "scents" from here! (t/n - this line is a pun on spray king's line - kakesou is "draw", kagesou is "smell". and the previous one is a joke by similarity)
-What are you doing!? Stop goofing off and search! -GWOO!

-Our Art School's been vandalized!!
-Oh...it's you kids... -P-principal! -The police were just here moments ago...
-W-what's the meaning of all this!? -Take a good look around...
left: This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real people, organizations, or events is purely coincidental.
below: SUMMARY Spray King is the mysterious figure who leaves leaves stunning Graffiti in his wake. Is he protecting this town, or after something else...? To uncover the truth, Kuroda Miu is hot on the case!
04 -It's all the work of Spray King...
-...it's true -This Graffiti looks just like Spray King's style...
05 -But...he saved me more than once before... -I can't believe he'd destroy a building like this
-I know what you're trying to say, Ayame-senpai -But since the beginning, he's been guilty of vandalism -So it could be that we've been wrong about him all along!
-Miu...chan?
-Slowly, we've been learning bits and pieces about his true character... -And this is the perfect situation to learn even more!
-All righty!! We're gonna search high and low for clues, got it!? -O-okay...? -I CAN'T HEAR YOU!! Put some umph into it!
-We're Kotobuki Town's defense squad! (t/n - 9 wards is probably the city in its entirety so i dropped that part) -Let's catch the villain who defiled our town!
-Woah...there's so many people! -Well, you can't blame them, after a huge mess like that... -It's up to US to protect our town!!
07 -Say, regarding the incident involving Spray King this morning... -Might you gentlemen know anything about it?
-That's Miu-chan! Cutting right to the chase! -She'll clear the suspicion on Spray King in no time! -You...sure about that?
-Hey!! Get a move on, you two!! -Miu-chan!?
-What can I say? After a short conversation, I couldn't help but agree with what they're doing! -So she decided to join us and fight for a peaceful town!!
-Time to kick this hunt up a notch! Let's go! -O...ookay...?
-Hey! It couldn't be...Spray King!? -WHAT!? (so soon!?)
08 -Eh? -Who're you, lady?
-...ops! My bad...
-Charity work...? -Yeah...
09 -Not only are these children cleaning up the graffiti, -they're also painting murals together. -So through volunteering to beautify our town, -they're also strengthening the bonds between people from across town!
-Ain't it great? This is what we're all about! -I think it's wonderful! -Sigh...so there's no clues about Spray King here...
-Ayame-senpai! We're moving on in our search! -Mind going on ahead of me? sfx bubble - suto (placing bag down sfx??)
-Watching them has made me want to chip in!
-Hey guys, mind if I help too? -Sure! No problem!
10 -Fine, fine...I guess I'll help too -Really!? All right! C'mon over here!
sfx: CLANG -AAAH! Miu-chan, don't spill the paint!! -T-Tora!! Get over here and clean this up! -Eh? Why me?? -Ahaha! You guys are funny!
11 -It's done!! -Wow! It's amazing!!
-But y'know, that Spray King everyone's talking about -makes really cool art too... --Even for a bad guy!! -....well... -It's true that graffiti is against the law...
-But someone who is able to paint a picture that touches your heart -Can't possibly be a bad person! -I'm positive about that!
-And the opposite is true, too! If you put all your heart and soul into your art, -then you're sure to create a work that people will never forget!
-The mural we just painted is exactly that--a painting with heart and soul -people who see it will remember it for years to come! -Yeah!!
12 -The next day
-W-WHAT HAPPENED HERE!? -Spray King's graffiti is...all over town?
-Damnit!! How could this happen!? -When did that hooligan sneak behind our backs?!
13 -H-hey!! Look!! Over there, ain't that him!?
-That's him!! That's Spray King! There's no doubt--look at those spray cans! -Spray King, wait!! It's me! Don't you remember me!?
-S-say...you saw where he came from, right? You don't think he... -Eh?
14 -How...AWFUL! I can't believe this!! -What a creep! Destroying the children's precious artwork...so that's the kind of person he is...
15 -Damn! That scoundrel doesn't have even an ounce of decency! -We're gonna give him a real taste of our wrath! -He's got hell to pay!
-H-how could he do this?
-We worked so hard on that painting! -He didn't have to ruin it! -Uwaaaah!! Why is he doing this to our town!?
-H-hey, wait a minute! -I've met someone who claimed to be Spray King before! But he was a fake! -I think we need to cool our jets and think about this carefully!!
-After seeing all this, you're gonna stick up for the guy!? -You two tried calling out to him just now! You know him!? -Eh!?...no, that's...!
16-17 -So they're friends of his!? -That makes you our enemies!!
-You liars!! We believed in you!!
(the big panel) -We don't want Spray King or his pals in this town! Get out!! -The police!! Go get the police!! -Go clean up the graffiti yourselves! -Pay for what you've done! (left bubbles) -If we catch them, they'll lead us to Spray King! -Show some remorse, you vandals!!
(remaining panels) -W-wait! Stop! ...what should we do!? -You're asking me!?
-You're shit that doesn't belong in this town! -Get the HELL OUT!
-Look out, Ayame-senpai! -Huh?
18 -Ng....
-Miu-chan, are you okay!? -You're grown-ups! Why don't you start acting like ones!?
-Everyone, please listen! Calm down! -What's the point of starting a riot over things we don't even know for sure!?
-Shut up, you criminals! Give yourselves up! -Yeah! We don't need to hear it from Spray King's accomplices!!
19 -Everything about this situation does point to Spray King as the culprit...
-It looks like what these people claim might actually be true!
-I...wanted to believe in you, Spray King -But were you a villain all along...?
-H-HEY! Those two are gone!! -W-when did they get away!? -What's goin' on!?
-Huh?
20 -Sp-Spray King!?
-What!? Spray King showed up!? -That's the same guy we saw earlier! -He obviously came to save his partners!
-Sorry, but...
21 -Mind taking a quick nap for me?
-Wha...
sfx: thud
-It looks like quite an elaborate impostor's shown up this time... -Eh!?
22 -I'd appreciate it if you cut it out, -CLOUD NINE!
-Aha!! You finally came to see me, -BROTHER!!
-Huh? Brother...?
-I thought you'd come for a visit if I acted like you! -Watching the public panic thinking I was you turned out to be the perfect way to kill spare time!
23 -And you put on quite the show, I hear -Aha! I'll do whatever it takes to meet you, brother! -What'dya think of my graffiti? Was it close to yours?
-If you come back to 'our side,' I wanna be your little brother again!
-Hate to break it to ya, but I swore never to turn back.
-What a shame...
-I was hoping that you and me could be real brothers, y'know? -Always side-by-side... sfx: kara (that spray can noise)
24 -Shame you made the wrong choice, BROTHER
-SEIYAAA (like hi-ya?)
25 -Ahaha! You haven't lost it! -I'm goin' all out and I'm still losing!
-In that case...
26 -Your "SKILL"...is mine!
-Shuu
-Aha!!
27 -Ahaha! I copied all your moves!
-Looks like I'll get a killer "Nine Skill" outta this! (t/n - trying, albeit poorly, to mimic spray king's lines)
28 -A copy is just a copy -Sooner or later, its flaws are sure to show!
-Haa!!
-Sorry, but my copies today don't degenerate like they used to!
29 -Ahaha! I'm gonna use your own skills to beat you to death!
-Miu-chan! You need to go to the hospital! -No! Right now, we have to go after Spray King!
-Even though he saved my life once before, -I still had my doubts about him...
30 -That's why I have to see this to the end, so I can learn the truth! -This is the only way I can make it up to him!
-Miu-chan...
-Ah!! There he is!
-Spray King's losing the fight!? -They're getting farther and father away!
31 -What's the matter? You can't run forever!
32 -Huff x2 -Aha! You look like you're in pain there! -But I can keep this up all night!
-After all, I've only been copying you!
33 -Haha! You made it all the way up here and there's nothing you can do? -It's clear who's gonna win this fight!
-...I'll NEVER lose...to you guys... -...who prey on people's greed... -huff x2
-Shove it! All I'm gonna do -Is get revenge for our brothers who you wasted!
34-35 -Go ahead and try!
-W-what...!? I can't...move! -haa x2 -W-why!? I stole...your skills...your stamina!!
-Since you copied everything that belongs to me, -that means you took my WEAKNESS too!
-W-what!? Wait, you mean sunlight is your--
36 -Your "COLOR" is mine!! -UWAAAAAAAAH
37 -N-no way...you used...your own weakness...!
-Looks like I'll get a killer "tag" outta this!
-This way!! I'm sure I saw those two head this way! -Okay!
-Isn't this...where the children's mural was? -huff...huff...you mean, we're right back where we started?
38-39 kickass spread o' the month
40 -It's...Spray King's graffiti! But, as a part of the children's mural!?
-"Qítiān Dàshèng" (t/n - It's one of the titles/names Son Wukong, or Goku in japanese. from wikipedia: Qítiān Dàshèng (齊天大聖) Meaning "Great Sage, Equal of Heaven".

12 -I got it.
-You're sayin' the time I was locked up -Those bastards totally crushed our other bikers -And now we're down to just barely 20 men -...that's right boss
-What are they callin' themselves again? -The "Seventh Knights"...
-Seventh Knights? -Damnit...they've screwed this town over
-We can't apologize enough... -It was just a year ago that you were still protecting this town... -sorry, boss...
13 -No...it's my fault. I used to beat the living crap outta friends and enemies alike. Tons were injured, and that just escalated the fighting... -But boss, if you hadn't stepped up to take the blame for it all -Our gang wouldn't even be here today!
-It's just these guys...even though they're from outside towns, it ain't nothing like before -In manpower, in scope...it's on a whole other level!
-THIS AIN'T THE TIME FOR EXCUSES!!
-If they're wastin' our city, it ain't any different!! -I ain't standing for any more of those "Seventh Knights'" abuse! -We've gotta stand up and protect Kotobuki!!

15 -T-this is turning out to be serious business... -A-are we gonna be all right!?
-Yo! Awesome job, bro! -Toshi...
-You got everyone revved up in no time, and you just got back! -You really deserve to be our boss -Heh, quit it...
16 -I feel like the cap'n of a raiding party -I just can't sit back and wait...
-But the leader of a pack -Needs to be like you, Toshi. Popular with all the men -Keigo...
-I only want -To protect our turf, so I can mess around and have a good time with my pals! -heh! -Make that "we"!
-You ready? Let's do this, and defend our town!
17 -Ok Keigo, you take some of the guys and go around back--that'll confuse them -My group will hit 'em head on and take out anyone who tries to escape!
-Sorry for givin' you the dangerous job, Keigo... -What're ya sayin'!? I'm the one who came up with it--leave it to me!
-Our numbers are slim, so all we can bet on -is hittin' em with a pincer attack
-Wow...Keigo really knows what to do! -He lives up to his rep as Death himself!! -Yeah, uh, I ain't the one who came up with that name...

-We're goin' back!! -W-what's wrong, Keigo-san!? -Save the questions for later! We gotta join up with the rest!
20 -A-all of 'em...wiped out!? -Keigo-san, what the hell is this!? When...how...!?
-No...the bastards read our attack and it backfired!!
21 -TOSHI!!
-Say, Keigo. How 'bout we join hands -And protect our favorite city here?
-It's all...my fault -My plan...got everyone into this mess!
22-23 -GET THE HELL OUT HERE, YOU SHITHEADS!
-What are you saying, Keigo-kun? -We didn't have to run or hide
-I just happen to have luck on my side, see? -In everything I do, I always get the upper hand
-But you really are Death itself, just as they say -You bring misfortune to everyone around you...
-CAN IT! JUST 'CUZ YOU LUCKED OUT DON'T MEAN A THING! -I'LL BEAT THE DAYLIGHTS OUTTA ALL OF YA!!

39 -But if Seven gave you this much trouble, -then know that you're nowhere close to being able to beat me!
-Best of luck, bro!
-Ow ow ow -Huh?...what...happened?

43 -But as long as I'm here, everyone around me suffers -The same can be said for anyone who fights this kind of battle!
-Because that's what it means -to fight to protect something

13 -There's pups like this little guy who get into traffic accidents, and end up handicapped for life... -And there's also pups handicapped with birth defects, which was a result of mass-breeding by vendors trying to capitalize on the pet boom
-Not to mention the countless dogs made ill from being raised in unsuitable environments -Or the dogs put to sleep because their owners don't want them anymore -It's all part of the cruel reality you don't see in everyday life

22 -Don't give us lip! Work! -We ain't a charity here! -rrrip

45 -Seeing how Spray King keeps showing up wherever I go -It just goes to show how accurate my "vision" is! (t/n - remember this is from ch1, she calls it vision, but it's more like intuition) -...yeah but you still didn't get him on film

-Y'know, I'm thinkin' that when our band gets our first CD, -I wanna get a pic like that on the jacket! -So what, you're gonna get King to design it?? -How you plan on doin' that? -We could be like, "Help me, Spray Ki--ng!!" -right?

10 -Geez...that's a dirty way to pull in an audience -I see you still haven't given up your crazy tricks...
-C'mon now, Ayame! Don't talk like that! -As long as everyone has fun tonight, that's all that matters! Right?

-You're gonna have a BLAST! -C'mon, please listen to our Live!! -But...I'm not really into rock...

11 -This is Tora-kun. He attends the same prep-school for the arts as me! -And he's the one who wanted to check out the flyer!
-Too bad for you Ayame, looks like Spray King's not here -What?? ...N-not like I care...!! -hoho! -To think a serious student like you was interested in Spray King!!
-Tora-kun!! You'd better steer clear of this guy, -Or his stupidity will rub off on you!! -Excuse me!? Geniuses ain't just brainiacs, you know!

12 only bubbles are drummer's 4 spiky "shan"
13 -That's right!! -This is the only time that I really feel alive!!
-Everyone was always callin' me different...treatin' me like a delinquent... -Always pushed out of the crowd! -But...
15 (no 14, this is double?) -Our band found a way to be heard!! -We can say what we want, the way we want in our music!!
next panel is lower right, bubbles right to left: -I let it all out in my songs -And the crowd answers me! -There are people out there who understand me!
now the vertical bubbles top-down left column -Well? How you like my Live House's lead band?
-Heh -They totally rock! -I want 'em on my record label no matter what!
16 -EH!? PRO?!
-Y-you mean...u-us?
-I'm a producer for Koudan's Label...Kawajiri's the name -And I want to make YOU the next big thing!
-That last live was something else, let me tell you! -You got the sound, looks, and stage smarts to come out on top!
-Getting straight to the point--
17 -Will you join me in shooting for the top of the music industry??
-the top...of the music industry?!
-H-haha...boy, to be able to let everyone hear our sound sure makes me glad, but... -"our"?
-This contract is for you, solo!!
-Sorry to get ya down, but your pals aren't at the pro level -They can't survive in the world of the pros just by riding your success!
18 -A'iight, -Then I refuse your offer! -WHA!?
-I ain't never gonna betray the band! -Betray...? -Do you realize how much money it takes to take your band public?!
-And don't misunderstand me -I never said that you'd be sure to succeed once you get out there
-Your songs are still rough, far from complete!
-SAY WHAT?! What about all those compliments, huh!? -What about that part about "riding my success"?? HUH!?
-...Look, I don't want you to end up like me
19 -Just like you, I got a deal like this and I turned it down
-Even though we didn't sell, I stayed loyal to my pals -It was really hard promoting ourselves, and not after long we ended up calling it quits -We never became the rock stars we dreamed of
-That's why I'm a producer now -So that I can help fellow rockers reach the stardom I couldn't
-With the financial strength of our company and your talent... -Reaching the top isn't just a dream!
20 -You don't have to answer me now -I'd rather you think it over carefully
-I...have talent...?
-'Till now, not one adult ever acknowledged that... -That's why it's hard to accept
-But this might be my only chance to get acknowledged by even more people -With the money from a contract, we can create even better music with better equipment...
-And if we made more money from our music, then...
21 -...then WHAT?
-WOAH!
-A-are you...THE...Spray King!?
22 -Dude, you're a bit late for the party!! -It would've been even more wild since everyone was expecting you!
-I heard you play some good music -Oh?? You know 'bout it?! Come on down to our next live, 'kay?!
sfx - su
-Listen up! -If you give in to your "greed", then I'm gonna take your "color"!!
-Wha...I...can't move!!
-You've got talent -DON'T let it go to waste
23 -You've been warned!
-H-HEY!! What the heck are you talking about!? -I don't get it!! -W-WAIT!!
-a few days later
24 -STOP!! stop, stop!! What the heck was that?! You were poundin' on the strings! -Really? I coulda swore I was playing it right -NO, YOU WEREN'T! My image for this piece is lighter!!
-This ain't your song, aiight!! -But... -JUST PLAY LIKE IT'S WRITTEN!! -Man, putting a piece together is really scary stuff, huh? -S-shh! He only let us in to watch!
-But bro, ain't it our thing to be Up-tempo? -He's right, man. You've been on edge recently -Oh, he's just puttin' on a show for the chick
-SHUT UP! -THIS IS WHY YOU GUYS WILL ALWAYS BE NEWBS!! -YOU CAN'T RIDE TO SUCCESS ON OTHERS!!
25 -I ain't playin' this kinda music!! -You guys are ruining it for me!
-Damnit! We just can't get our sounds to mesh -Guess I'd better off on my own...
26 -...wow -Spray King's tags are dope, as always
-You think so too, Masa? -Ayame!
-I was pulled in by his graffiti too -Every time there's a new one, I go check it out -Oh, that's right! You're an artist too, aincha?
-I'm not saying that I agree with vandalism -It causes all sorts of problems -But...this city's odd anyway -because there's so many people without morals!!
27 -Spray King's different though. He's no ordinary vandal -huh?
-I mean, you know? -It seems people who get caught by him change into good people -Looking at his work made me change in the way I saw him, too
-That's why I think he has the power to change people!......yeah, as if!
sfx in last panel is clap x3
28 -No, you're right!
-What?
-I-I mean...I think you're probably right. And I bet Spray King would be happy to hear that too! -...sheesh
-But the power to change people? -Ain't that what you and I wish we had? -Me, with music, and you, with art...
-yeah...
29 -Say, Spray King works solo, doesn't he?
-...yep -He's surrounded in mystery, but it's certain that he's alone and creates his own graffiti...
-Wow...he's able to do stuff like that solo... -That's it
-Ayame!! I decided I'm gonna do my major debut solo!! -I ain't meant to be in a band anyway! -I'm gonna rise to the top! And I'm gonna be so popular there won't be nobody who doesn't know my name!
30 -Mind tellin' us about that Masa? -What Pro Debut?
-G-guys...! -You didn't say a word about that!
-...my bad -I was still sorting things out, so I wasn't able to say it
-It's just like you heard. I was offered to debut solo -And I'm thinking of takin' the offer
-What gives you the right to decide alone!? -So that's why you've been actin' odd lately!
31 -Just 'cuz you got a bit of talent -Ain't mean you're the shit!
-Okay, fine!! -Let's just settle things right here, right now!!
-Anyone in?
32 -You made it!
-haa x2
-Those bruises... -Looks like you talked it over with the band, huh?
-Heh...Masa... -You can definitely fight like a rock star... -Go...and make it in the pros!
33 -Guys...
-We knew, bro. We were never at the same level as you -If we're holdin' you back, then just go for it!
-But one last thing -Don't change the sound that we built, 'kay?
34 -The kinda music we made -is packed with all of our energy!
-Even when you become a pro, don't you ever forget it!!
-Sure thing. I'll never forget sfx - koto
35 -And that concludes the contract
-Yep -I'm lookin' forward to this!
-I know this might be sudden, but I'd like to hear your newest work -Got anything for me? -No prob!! -I got tons lined up, so I already made a sampler!
-There's stuff on here sure to rock a live crowd!!
-Live? Hah, we don't have anything lined up for a live... -A-ah...really? But isn't rock music all about playing live concerts?
sfx - su
36 he's pretty strong to rip a cd in half! -Dumbass!! -You ain't gonna be singing for anyone! sfx - BAKI
-huh!?
-I admit you've got the talent to compose -But that's about all you got -You were lucky to gather crowds in the first place!! -Wha-what the hell!?
-All you're gonna be doing is writing the songs -for the projects I dictate!! sfx - BANG
37 -This ain't what we agreed on!! What about rock!? -I don't remember anything about that
-Right now I own all the songs you've made -And from here on, you'll be writing loads more! -snap!

sfx - gacha

-GHAAH
-Time to learn a lesson about how the real world works, kid! -You won't ever be talking back to me again!
-Rest assured -This contract's only for 5 years -So that's 5 years of composing under me
39 -I bet a bastard like you can't even keep a girlfriend for 5 years -So don't expect me to put up with that ugly mug of yours!!
-Is that right? Then how about another TEN years!? -I'm gonna work you to death!!
-Damnit...DAMNIT!! -How could I let my music get stolen by this prick!?
40 -I was singing to get back at all those people -who were looking down on me, just like him
-With that in mind I betrayed my friends, beat them up... -and in the end, even fooled myself...
-I'm...the biggest loser in the world!!
41 -huh? ...the mob stopped beating me? It don't hurt no more... -Oh...I must be dead...

01 white right verticals: When the sun sets, / everyone knows I'm the "King"!! right bottom corner: Mikuni Shin left white verticals: Coming onto the scene right after winning in the Rival Grand Prix! / We bring you the vivid, action-packed graffiti-battle comic!!
stamp thing: top: (shounen) Rival Comic / 1st official contest / SEMIFINALIST / Prize-winning work
02 bold: Below the moonlight, / a boy is being cornered by a mob...??
03 -It's you!! You're the one who bombed our piece!! (t/n - this is graffiti slang) -You called yourself the Spray King, huh?
-One... -Two... -3, 4...5 people
-Oh. There's a lot less of you than I thought -HUH!? -What the hell are you countin', punk!?
-We'll see who's actin' tough!! -You're dead!!
04 -Mind giving me...your "color"?
05 -haa x3 (sfx bubs)
-karakara
-eh?
06 -KYAAA!!
-w...what was that...fierce wind??
-rollll....
07 -...n-no way...! This is...!
08 -Yo! Check it out!! -It's another Spray King tag!! smaller bubbles are zawa zawa
09 -But wait! Ain't this area belong to another team? -Dunno...but not like it matters to him smaller, again "zawa zawa"
bubbles below: -But yo, have you heard? The punks he catches seem to act differently... -Maybe he ruffed 'em up?
spiky bubbles -I knew it... -On my way here he passed me! The person I've been searching for...!
10 -I'm Houzuki Ayame -I'm an aspiring artist, currently a high-school junior! -And now I'm taking a summer class at an art school
11 -Woah!! Ayame!! Your art rules, as usual! -With those skills you can name your school! -Aw...I wish I was as talented as you! -N-nah...I still have a lot to learn!
-Oh, come on! No need to be so modest! -Your work was even featured on TV!!
-T-teacher...you too!? -Well, it's no big deal...it was just a small local program... -So what? It still means you caught the community's attention!!
-When it comes to artwork, -you're about as popular as Spray King in this town!
12 -Gata (sfx for pushing the stool back)
-Don't compare me to him!! -He goes around vandalizing the town, causing all sorts of trouble!!
-A-ah...s-sorry... -Psst teach'...that topic is off-limits with Ayame!
-Why're you so upset? Spray King punishes delinquents when he leaves his work behind, right?
-By vandalizing the town, he's no better than them!!
13 -Graffiti doesn't just harm our city's image, -it also serves as "borders" for gangs to mark their territory! -I'll never acknowledge someone who stoops to that level!
-You sure know a lot about graffiti -W-who doesnt!?! Y'know...from TV...
-But I gotta say, Spray King's tags -aren't like the norm, they're really well made -Even more reason I can't stand him!!
-Why resort to graffiti -To create works that can reach people's hearts...?
14 -Um...excuse me...
-Don't you think that graffiti is a part of our culture?
-Y-you're...who again? sfx - gata -Ah...I started this summer. Tanaka Torateru
-Tanaka-kun...if your house was vandalized, -would you still call graffiti cultured? -U-uh...no...I agree that morals should be upheld...
-But I think that evil people couldn't possibly create works of art!
15 -Okay, then to turn the question around -You're saying good people make graffiti? Are they hiding who they are? -People who lead double lives like that will never have success in life!
-I wouldn't say that. In fact, there's graffiti artists -who're right now very popular around the world -Besides, the meaning of "success" isn't the same for everyone...
-All right then, Tanaka! -Tell me, could a guy who's drawn something like this become famous too? sfx - para
16 -T-that's my sketchbook!!! -Give it back!! -Now, now guys... -Gyahahahaha! What the heck is that supposed to be? You suck! -If I was the critic, I'd never be able to understand your art! -I just...don't get enough practice, that's all!!
-Ahahaha! What a lousy excuse! Hilarious!!
-Stop it!!
-Talking down to someone who's trying their hardest is extremely rude!! -It's not like any of you were any good when you first started!!
-w...what's your problem! We were just teasing him! -we were just trying to defend you, Ayame! -I don't remember asking for help!
17 -Hey...
-Tell me, do you draw for fun? -huh?!
-W-why are you asking that? -Are you saying I shouldn't draw? -N-no!! That's not what I meant...
-Sorry for asking something strange -Just forget about it -? -Ah, don't let it bother you! She's always like this! -huh?!
18 -That girl -Asks everyone that same question...
-She's just looking down us since we're not at her level! -Yeah! It's like her way of telling sucky artists to give it up! -What are you guys talking about!?
-Her parent's an artist, right? -An' supposed to be an awesome one, too
-I guess when you get as good as that, -Making art is always fun!
19 -...This isn't fun at all...
-My skill with art came from my parents making me draw all the time when I was little -No one ever saw me as anything else than "the artist's daughter"
-It's not that I hate drawing or painting...
-It's just... -I can't...understand what I'm doing it for...
20 -THIS was what you were planning to submit to the upcoming exhibition? -I'll never allow this kind of work to carry the Houzuki name!
-don't you understand?! You HAVE to make yourself a success from now on!
21 -Ayame, great job!! You've got your parent's talent! -I wish I had winning genes like yours! -You're a genius! -What number prize is this? Is there any prize you can't win? Haha!
-It must be...something important...
-What is it that drives Spray King's work? -para -It's like...there's some kind of ideal he's striving for...
22 -Got a sec? -T-teacher!! -patan
-You don't have to keep calling me that! -I'm just a part-time lecturer. I'm still in graduate school myself! -You're still trying to come off as younger, I see -haha...
-...so? What did you want? -If it's about a date I already said no -A-ah...nah, that's not it...
-I was just thinking that something was bothering you -Is it about Spray King? -You seem pretty hung up on finding out about him...
23 -You're just not satisfied -Why is a hooligan like him have such artistic skill, right? -I-I...don't really care...
-Well I'm sure interested in him! -Check this out! -pi
-I'd like to be a cameraman myself one day! -I might as well start by getting a celebrity on film, right?
-W-where did you take this!? -The third district's scrapyard...?
-They say he only shows up at night -If you're interested, you want to go there now?
24 -Eh? -Spray King kidnapped someone?
-Yeah!! It's the latest rumor -Some girls who've spotted him have gone missing within the last 3 days -B-but doesn't he capture criminals...?? -They've all been men until now!
-Well, they also say that people who've encountered him change somehow -with all these rumors around, you can't really tell what's true -I'm worried about Ayame, though!
-Even though I've warned her about the "rumors," she doesn't listen! -I'm sure she's out there searching for him now -haa x3
-There's nothing I can stay to stop her -I guess it's her curiosity as a fellow artist
25 -that keeps her chasing after Spray King and his graffiti around town! small bubbles: haa x2
-haa x2
-Hmm... -I guess the Spray King -is taking a day off?
-I knew it...there's no way I'd find him so easily...
26 -Were you...looking for me?
-I happen to be the Spray King!
-S-spray King?? No way! Really? -You want me to say I'm kidding?
-N-no..I...uh...just... -She says she'd really like to see your work
-Sorry, no can do! -P-please, I'll do anything!
27 -I-I...am also an artist... -And I've seen every one of your tags! -...oh?
-A-and...here...this...
-You dropped this last night. Let me give it back -Looks like there's still some paint left, I think... -What are you talking about? That ain't mine
-Eh...? My mistake...? -I was sure it was Spray King's...?
-Aw, well! Since you're a fellow artist, -I'll work somethin' up just for you! -R-really?! Thank you so much!!
-C'mon...this way... -O-okay!!
28 -But before that, you'll have to pay to watch!!
-W-what are you doing?! -Haha! You like my work, right?
-I haven't gotten too many fans visiting me...
29 -Starting today, I'll be sure to take good care of you!
-The latest rumor is that girls who've seen Spray King go missing... -What?! That rumor was true!?
-That's right! We're behind the kidnappings!!
-heh heh...good job, pal -No prob
30 -This is the hottest chick you've raked in yet! -I know, right?

Página 05
Es un grafitti increíble
click click ¿¡Es esto obra del Rey del Spray...!? click click Página 06
¡¡W-woah!! ¿¡Qué ha pasado aquí!? ¿¡No son esos los miembros de la banda Diabolos!?
"¡Una figura misteriosa derrota a los Diabolos!" ¿¡Esto también es obra del Rey del Spray!? ¡Vaya exclusiva!
Mirad. Ahí viene la poli.
¿¡Puede que esto se convierta en un caso más grave!?
Página 07
¿Eh? ¿Y esa... extraña sensación..?
¡Eh, tú...uh...!
¿Eh?
Se ha ido
Página 08
Me llamo Kuroda Miu
Esta escuela de arte da clases de fotografía Ya llevo en ella bastante tiempo
SFX: Zawa Zawa
Y al mismo tiempo, estoy intentando conseguir una gran exclusiva para las revistas semanales.
Página 09
¡Las exclusivas son geniales! ¡¡Después de todo, si consigo una haré que todos se enganchen a mi trabajo!!
¡Eh tú! ¿Estás enganchado a ese artículo, verdad? ¿Eh?
¡No te culpo, ya que soy yo la que ha hecho esa foto de ahí! newspaper top: Banda peligrosa / Diabolos / ¿Un ajuste de cuentas?
Página 10
¡Woah!, ¿así que has hecho tú esas fotos, Kuroda? ¿Han vuelto a publicar las tuyas? ¡Así se hace! ¡Ya eres como una profesional! Bueno, ya sabes ¡Ha sido pan comido! ¡Demasiado fácil!
Tengo eso que... ¿Cómo lo llaman? ¡¡Intuición de fotógrafo!! Perdona
¿¡Quién eres!? ¡Hueles a exclusiva en potencia! ¡¡Y mi intuición nunca falla!! ¿¡Eh!? ¿Qué?
Eh, ¿pero qué es lo que pasa? Ayame-senpai. Ayame-san.
Se llama Tanaka Torateru. Vamos a la misma clase ¡Y esta chica de aquí es Miu-chan! ¡Es mi kohai del club de arte desde que ibamos a secundaria! ¿¡Eres más mayor que yo!?
¡¡Al menos soy más alta!! (Mini: de puntitas) ... Pero no estamos compitiendo...
Página 12
... y además, ¿cómo va a ser Tora-kun una exclusiva? Se porta muy bien. No me puedo creer que haga nada malo. Eso es. Y dibuja muy mal, supongo que es sólo un desastre. ¡Y es tan canijo! ¡Ni siquiera podría matar a una mosca! ¿¡Verdad!? S-sí...
¡¡Aún así!! No me sorprendería que una persona como él fuera un criminal ¡¡Hay tantos criminales como graffitis en la ciudad!! ¡¡El horrible estado de esta ciudad es prueba del horrible estado de sus ciudadanos!!
Página 13
¿Entonces, por qué no encuentras al Rey del Spray, eh? ¡Sí! ¡Él es el que hace la mayoría de graffitis de la ciudad!
Eh, uh...la foto de este articulo... no es como... ¿Si hubiera algo raro en ella?
¿Algo... raro? S-sí
¿Es como... si faltara algo...? Página 14
¡¡Muy bien, vale!! ¿¡Quieres la foto del Rey del Spray, verdad!? ¿¡Eso es lo que estás intentando decir, verdad
Espera un segundo, Miu-chan N-no, estoy intentando decirte que hay algo raro en el artículo... ¡Ya lo he entendido! ¡¡Haré esa foto!! ¡¡Así que, presta atención!!
¡¡Me voy!!
¿Qué les pasa a esos idiotas? Se han pasado. ¿Que no tienen ni idea de lo que cuesta hacer esas fotos? ¡¡Es por eso que no soporto a los novatos!!
Yo...
Página 15
¡¡Eh!! ¿Estás bien? ¡¡Ya voy!!
¡Gracias a dios! ¡Sigues consciente!
¡No te preocupes por el chico que casi te atropella! ¡¡Soy fotógrafo y he podido sacarle una foto!!
Página 16
¡No te preocupes! ¡Seguro que lo arrestan! Me...me salvé por una sola foto...
Desde ese día... ¡Eh, Miu-chan!
¿¡K-kaga-san!? ¿Cómo te encuentras? ¿Tienes alguna exclusiva?
¡¡No es que esté haciendo fotos porqué tú también las hagas!! ? ¿De qué estás hablando? ¡¡Na-na-na-nada!!
Parece que alguien está hoy de mal humor...
Página 17
Hmmm... Así que era eso click click
No hace falta imaginarse por qué estás enfadada Siempre eres muy seria cuando el tema del que se trata es la fotografía. click x2
... Desde el momento en que tu foto me ayudó, he empezado a hacer fotos Así he aprendido lo importante que es para poder conseguir una buena exclusiva...
Página 18
Pero ya sabes, Las exclusivas por ellas solas no son nada ¿Eh?
"Realidad" Siempre intento buscarla detrás del objetivo.
Si haces que esta también sea tu meta, estoy seguro de que tú también conseguirás una exclusiva.
¡Wow! ¡Como se nota que es un fotografo profesional...! Así que esa es la mentalidad que he de tener para conseguir una exclusiva, eh...
Página 19
¡¡Gracias!!
¿De verdad? Así que después de ese accidente, ¿Miu-san empezó fotografía? ¡Sí! ¡Y espera que algún día una de sus fotografías también salve a alguien!
¡Vaya vaya! ¡Hablando del rey de Roma, ahí está!
click x2
Página 20
Unos días más tarde.
Al final... ¡¡Sigo sin poder fotografiar al Rey del Spray!! Tranquila...
¡Aaaaaaaah! ¿¡Por qué!? ¡¡Incluso hoy tenia la sensación de que lo conseguiría!! ¿¡Por qué no puedo sentir nada más allá que el objetivo de la cámara!? Vamos, no te preocupes...
¡El Rey del Spray es el responsable del lamentable estado de esta ciudad! ¡¡Si no puedo sacarle una foto, ya puedes olvidarte de la exclusiva! ¡¡Ya puedes olvidarte de la “realidad”!!
¿Oh?
Página 21
Tranquila, tranquila. ¡Las lágrimas nos hacen más fuertes! ¡¡Estoy hablando en serio!!
¿Por qué no te vienes conmigo un rato? ¡¡Para ya!! ¡¡Deja de mirarme por encima del hombro porqué tú tengas más éxito!! ¿¡Tranquilízate, vale!?
Sabes que Te voy a enseñar como conseguir una exclusiva ¿Eh?
Página 22
¿¡Esto es... Un cine abandonado...!? Exacto.
Toma. ¿Hace frio esta noche, verdad? Ponte esto Ah... gracias...
Tengo que preparar unas cosas ¿Me ayudarás a llevarlas? Cla-claro.
Página 23
U-uh... ¿Qué... es esto? slosh x2
¡Haha! ¡Son materiales para una gran exclusiva! Vale...
Nah... Es mejor así. ¡¡No, no lo está!! ¡¡Será mejor que lo apaguemos ahora que es pequeño!!
No me digas que... ¿¡La has provocado tú!?
Página 25
U-ugh
¿¡Qué no lo sabes!? ¡¡Esto es un crimen!!
¡¡Tú eres la criminal "Rey del Spray"!!
Página 26
¿¡Qué!?
Ese Rey del Spray es una amenaza No sólo destroza la propiedad privada, sino que además causa un incendio...
¿¡Estás loco!? ¡¡Eres tú el que está haciendo esto!! ¿¡Pero qué es lo que te pasa!? shuuuu Soy un fotógrafo famoso Así que tengo una cuota que seguir para vivir
¿¡Pero yo, Rey del Spray!? ¡¡Eso es ridículo!! ¡No tiene sentido inventarse una mentira así!
heheh
Página 27
¡Si no puedes encontrar una exclusiva, invéntate una!
¡¡Pero aún así lo que estás haciendo no está bien!! ¡¡Voy a grabarlo!!
Página 28
¡¡Mi cámara!! ¿No te lo he dicho? Necesitas “Realidad” en tus fotos ¡Pero eso no significa que tenga que ser real!
... ¿¡Qué…!? Pobre Rey del Spray Desafortunadamente, estás empapada de gasolina
Si ese fuego se propagara... Tendriamos a un criminal en llamas...
Página 29
Pa-para... no puedes...
Me salvaste con aquella foto Me ayudaste en convertirme en una fotógrafa de reportajes.
¿Que te salvé? heh
Es irónico porqué estaba intentando matarte.
¿¡Eh!? En un principio había pensado en que el accidente sería mucho mayor, donde hubiera muchos muertos.
Página 30
Tan sólo si ese conductor que había contratado no la hubiera cagado, habría sido una exclusiva mucho mayor. El plan se fue al garete y se convirtió en un simple caso de atropello con huída.
Pero como eso me convirtió en un héroe, me convertí en el centro de atención así que no me podía quejar.
Entonces... eso significa que todas... tus exclusivas...
¡Sí! ¡¡En ninguna de ellas había “Realidad”!!
No... ¡No puedo creérmelo...!
Página 31
A esta foto del artículo... le falta algo... Ese algo era la “verdad”...
Siempre me sentía halagada por sus comentarios haciendo el paripé, intentando parecer más mayor... Pero al final he sido yo la que ha caído en sus mentiras.
Por favor, que alguien me diga...
Página 32
¿Dónde... está mi “verdadero” yo? Páginas 33 y 34
¿¡Eh!?
¡¡Tú eres!!
¿¡Acaso es posible que...
Él sea el verdadero “Rey del Spray”!?
Página 35
snap x2
¡UWAHAHAHA! ¡Al fin te tengo! ¡¡Te he atrapado!! ¡¡Nunca habría pensado que el verdadero Rey del Spray podría aparecer!!
¡Aunque me sirve de todos modos! ¡Puedo convertirte también en un secuestrador!
¡Esto me está poniendo a 100!
Página 36
¡¡Haz que las fotos sean aún mejores!!
¡¡Kya!!
Página 37
¡Hmph! ¿Te crees que has ganado porqué tienes mi cámara?
¡Siento decírtelo, pero este sitio está lleno de mis cámaras!
snap snap
¡¡En mi artículo vas a aparecer como el culpable de todo esto!!
Página 38
shatter x2
¿¡Me está salvando... el Rey del Spray!?
La persona en que más confiaba resulta que es un mentiroso y ahora la persona que estaba segura que era un criminal resulta que no lo es...
Maldita sea... Ya no se qué es qué...
Oh no... Los humos y el calor de la gasolina... me están haciendo perder la consciencia. Página 39
Y con eso ya me he ocupado de las cámaras. ¿¡Qué!?
¡¡No puede ser!! ¿¡Estabas haciendo ver que escapabas, mientras neutralizabas mis cámaras?!
¡¡Pero eso no cambia el hecho de que pueda culparte por este incendio!!
Página 40
¡Haha! ¿Qué vas a hacer, llamar a los bomberos? ¡Entonces, como tú eres el culpable, te...
yura x2
... arrestarán...!
koooo x2
Página 41
¡¡Quéeee!!
¿¡Qué es lo que acabas de hacer!? ¿¡Has aspirado todo el fuego!? ¿Que no lo has visto con tus propios ojos? ¿O quieres que te haga probar un poco? ¡¡No me lo puedo creer!!
Pues ahí viene
¡Ya he conseguido tu “color”!
Página 42
¿¡Qué es esto!?
¡¡Esta es la “avaricia” que te ha poseído!!
¿¡"Avaricia"...!? Páginas 43 y 44
Representa como halagas a la gente, Les subes la autoestima y luego los decepcionas.
¡¡AAAAAAAAAAAHH!!
¡Es inútil oponerse! ¡La voy a absrover toda!
¡¡UWAAAAAA!!
Página 45
¡¡Me va a salir un gran mural con esto!!
Página 46
nnngh... ¿Eh?
¡¡Oh sí!! ¡El “Rey del Spray” estaba...!
Páginas 47 y 48
(Nada de nada)
Página 49
¡Increíble! ¿Qué es este graffiti...?
Es una "Caladrius".
Un pájaro mítico con una gran intuición, capaz de predecir todo tipo de augurios... ¿¡El “Rey del Spray”!?
Parece que puedes predecir augurios Esa es la naturaleza especial de tu “visión"...
¿¡"visión”!?
Página 50
“Realidad” o “Realístico”. ¿Qué es lo que vas a ver?
... ¡Ya no volveré a dudar...! ¡¡Yo...!!
Oh no... Vuelvo a... Perder la conciencia... ¡¡Todavía hay más cosas que quiero preguntarle...!!
¡Eh! ¡¡Cuánto rato tienes pensado estar ahí escondido!!
¡Ven aquí abajo!
Páginas 51 y 52
¡¡Veo que tu “visión” es la misma de siempre, Bro!!
Gracias por ahorrarme el tener que buscarte ¡No me mires así! Sólo he venido a ver que hacia mi pequeñín...
¡¡Ya he tenido suficiente de tantas tonterías!!
Página 53
(Nada de nada)
Página 54
¡¡No voy a permitir que hagas aumentar más la “avaricia” de la ciudad!!
Si lo que quieres es pelear, no hay problema ¿Pero estás seguro de que esa chiquilla de ahí que acabas de salvar esté en medio?
Nah... No eres del tipo de persona que dejara que pasara eso suu
¡¡Además, es imposible que puedas ganarme Bro!!
Página 55
Al día siguiente ¡Miu-chan, ya me lo han contado todo! ¿¡Estabas en medio e un incendio!?
¡Pero parece que estás bien! ¡Gracias a Dios! ¿Vas a estar aquí hasta que el doctor termine con los exámenes, verdad? ¡Sí!
Y ahora, las noticias. Otra vez, se ha descubierto el nuevo graffiti del “Rey del Spray”. La policía sigue investigando su relación con el incendio de ayer además del hombre que se encontró inconsciente en el escenario.
Eso me recuerda, que después de conocer al “Rey del Spray”, Kaga-san se ha convertido en una persona completamente diferente...
Página 56
Parece que sigue habiendo cosas que todavía no conozco sobre esta ciudad…
“Realidad” o “Realístico” ¿Qué es lo que vas a ver? ¡¡Obviamente, voy a ir a por la verdad!!
... ¡¡Y es por eso que voy a ir a cazar al “Rey del Spray”!! ¿¡Qué!? ¿¡Por qué!?
¿Aún no has tenido suficiente? ¡No tengo tiempo que perder!
Página 57
¡Estoy segura que una vez lo haya encontrado, descubriré la “verdadera” exclusiva de la ciudad!
¡¡Estoy contenta de que te hayas decidido, pero primero tienes que descansar!! ¿¡Eh!? ¿¡Por qué!?
Maldita sea... Vaya, en cierto modo estoy más tranquila No puedo decir lo mismo
A partir de ahora, esta ciudad va a estar en peligro... dentro de poco...

The very cool thing to me about this series is that, if the bold "announcement" text is true, this series only saw serialization because readers actually responded in droves to the one shot. Not bad, having a fanbase get your comic into print. Lucky you, Mikuni.
Though the art ain't spectacular, the graffiti tags are awesome! Can't wait to see more (there's even cooler ones in the oneshot). I really dig the concept, too.
I think it's obvious, but just in case: please don't put my silly notes in the scanlation, thanks
01 yellow: Due to your overwhelming support, here's the serialization!! white diagonal vert: Presenting Rival's shining star for 2009!! boxes: -That day, my intuition was right -Within this savage, concrete jungle -Was a shadow I was frantic to catch

-"The Diabolos defeated by mysterious figure!" -Could this, too, be the work of Spray King?! -What a scoop!
-Check it out -Here comes the cops

10 -Woah, so you took those photos, Kuroda? -Yours got published again? Way to go! You're like a pro already! -Well, you know~ It was a cinch! Way too easy!

-At least I'm taller than you!! (small txt is - tiptoe) -...w-we aren't competing, though...
12 -...but anyway, that Tora-kun here is a scoop? -He's very well behaved. I can't possibly see him causing any trouble -You said it -But his drawings are so bad, I guess there's your disaster -And he's such a wimp! He can't even kill a bug! Right!? -Y-yeah
-However!! -It wouldn't be surprising if a person like him WAS a criminal -There's just as many criminals as there is graffiti in this town!! -The depraved state of this city is a testament to the depraved state of its citizens!!

-K-kaga-san!? -How ya feelin'? Land any big scoops?
-I-It's not like I'm taking pictures because of you!! -? -What are you talkin' about? -N-n-n-nothing!!
-Somebody seems to be in a bad mood...
17 -Hmmm....that's what it was -click -click
-No wonder you're pissed -You've always been so serious when it comes to photography, after all -click x2
-....Ever since your photo helped me back then, I started taking news photographs -I've come to appreciate how important it is in this line of work to take as many scoops as possible...
18 -But y'know, -Scoops alone aren't good enough -huh?
-"Reality" -I'm always seeking to find it beyond my camera lens
-If you make it a goal to capture reality, I'm sure you'll land your scoop too
-Wow! No wonder he's a professional cameraman...! -So that's the frame of mind I need to have to get a scoop, huh...
19 -Thanks!!
-Oh really? -So because of that accident, Miu-san got into photography -Yep! And she hopes to someday to take photos that will save others, too!
-Well, well! -Speak of the devil, there she is!

-In the end...I still couldn't get Spray King on photo!! -now, now
-gggAAAAH! WHY!? I even had a strong feeling that today would be the day!! -Why can't I sense anything beyond my viewfinder!? -C'mon, simmer down...
-Spray King is the villian responsible for vandalizing this town! -If I can't photograph him, forget about getting a scoop! Forget about "reality"!!
-Oh?
21 -There, there. Tears make us into stronger people! -I'm being serious here!!
-Why don't you hang with me for a bit? -S-stop it!! Stop looking down on me just because you're successful!! -Chill out, okay??

-That still doesn't make what you're doing right!! -I'm going to get you on film!!
28 -M-my camera!!! -Didn't I tell ya? You need "Reality" in your photos -But that doesn't mean it has to be real!
-<cough>...what...?? -Poor Spray King -Unfortunately for you, your clothes are soaked in gasoline
-If that fire were to spread... -We'd have ourselves one roasted criminal...
29 -S-stop it...you wouldn't...
-I was saved by your photo -You helped me become a news photographer
-Saved? heh
-Ironic, since I was trying to kill you
-Eh!? -I had originally intended that accident to be a lot larger one, involving many innocent pedestrians
30 -If only that stupid driver I hired hadn't screwed up, it would've been a major scoop -The plan was ruined and it turned into nothing but a piddly hit-and-run case
-But since it made me into hero, I got to stand in the spotlight so I can't complain
-T-then, that means all of the... -all of the scoops you've taken...
-Yes! NONE of them had any "Reality" at all!!
-I...I can't believe this...!
31 -The photo in this article... -has something missing... -that something was "truth" all along...
-I was always flattered by his comments -putting on a show, trying to act mature... -But in the end it was I who was fooled by his cameraman act
-Somebody, please tell me...
32 -Where...is the "true" me?
-kara x4 (rolling?)
33-34 -Eh?!
-Y-you're!!
-C-could it be...?!

38 -shatter x2
-I-I'm being saved... -by Spray King??
-The person I trusted turned out to be a liar -and now the person I assumed was a criminal doesn't appear to be one...
-Gosh...I don't know what's what anymore
-Oh no...the fumes and heat from the gasoline are...making me lose consciousness
39 -That takes care of your cameras -What!?
-beta... (drip)
-No way!! You acted as if you were running away, while you were ruining my cameras?!
-B-but that doesn't change the fact that I can blame this fire on you!!
40 -Haha! What're you gonna do, call the fire department? Then you, as the culprit, would be...

-koooo x2
41 -WHAAAAT
-W-what the hell did you just do!? -Y-you...vacuumed the fire up!? -Didn't you see it with your own eyes? -Or do you want to me to give you a taste of it? -I-I don't believe this!!
-Here comes the real thing small -suu
-I got a handle on your "color"!
42 -W-what is this!?
-This is the "greed" that's overcome you!!
-"Greed"...!?
43-44 -It represents how you -flatter people, stir up their emotions, and deceive them
-AAAAAAAAAAAHH

-UWAAAAAA

47-48 KICK ARSE (somebody touch this up for a wallpaper, please???)
49 -I-incredible! W-what is this graffiti of...?
-It's a "Caladrius" *(t/n - see wikipedia for more. mythical bird that would remove sickness from people as it flies away, and could sense sick people who would not recover from illness)
-A mythical bird with keen intuition, able to sense all sorts of omens... -SPRAY KING!?
-You seem to be able to sense omens as well -That's the unique nature of your "vision"... *(t/n - kanji is "intuition", so my interpretation of this is that he is referring to a type of intuition. this may be important later?)
-"vision"??
50 -"Reality" vs. "real" -Which does your "vision" choose to see?
-...I-I won't hesitate any more...! -I...!!
-Oh no...I'm...losing consciousness again... -There's still more I have to ask him...!!
-HEY! -How long do you plan on hiding back there!!
-Get down here, now!
51-52 -I see your "vision's" the same as always, -Bro!!
-Thanks for saving me the trouble of looking for you -Don't give me that dirty look! I just came to see how my cute little pawn is doing...
-I've had enough of your nonsense!!
53 judo chop, baby
54 -I won't allow you to stir up this city's "greed" any more!!
-If it's a fight you want, you got it -but are you sure you want that poor girl you just saved to get caught up in this?
-Nah...you ain't the type to let that happen -suu
-'sides, there's NO WAY you can beat me, -Bro!!
55 -The next day -Miu-chan, I heard all about it! -You were caught up in a fire??
-But it looks like you're doing fine! Thank God! -You're just here until the doctor's exam is finished, right? -yeah!
(spiky bubbles x4 starting with topmost) -And now for the news -Yet again, the Spray King's graffiti has been discovered -Police are still investigating as to any connection with last night's fire -as well as any ties to the man found unconscious at the scene
-That reminds me, after meeting Spray King, -Kaga-san has become like a completely different person...
56 -It looks like there's still many things I don't know about this town
-"Reality" vs. "real" -Which does your "vision" choose to see? -I'm going after the real truth, obviously!! small - guu (grip)
---and that's why I'm going to hunt down Spray King!! -why what?!?
-You haven't been discharged yet? -I don't have any time to waste!
57 -I'm sure that once I've caught up with him, -I'll find the "real" scoop about this town!
-I'm happy you've made up your mind, but -first you need your rest!! -Eh?! Why?!
-Geez... -well, in a way i'm relieved -I can't say the same
-From here on, this town is going to find itself in grave danger... -in the near future...
