Motomi: どういうコト？ ー What do you mean? (panel two) Acony: このアパートには意思があるのよ ー This building has its own will. Acony: 日本では古い物に魂が宿るっていう考えがあるでしょ古い物が妖怪に変化したり 一つの生物として確立してしまうの ー In Japan, isn't there an idea that souls will lodge themselves in old objects? They establish themselves as one being. (panel three) Motomi: ちょっとまってよ それは昔の人の妄想……つか物語で…… ー Wait a minute! That's just our ancestor's paranoia... I mean, in stories... Acony: アメリカにもあるわよそういう家 ー America has houses like this, too. (panel four) Acony: アメリカの場合は家に悪魔が取り憑いて人を食べちゃうとかだけどね ー In the cases in America, the houses get possessed by demons, and just do stuff like eat people. Acony: 日本のそーゆー概念って一神教文化の国では起こりにくい発想だから興味深いわ ー This concept of Japan's is conceptualized badly in monotheist nations, so I find it very interesting. (panel five) Motomi: じゃなくてさボクだってべつにユーレイとか怖くないんだけどさ ー Look, I'm not really scared of ghosts and all that... Acony: 本当のコト言ってるわよ ー I'm telling the truth. (panel six) Acony: だいたい ユーレイとかは信じてるくせにそーゆーコトは理解できないのって予盾してるわ ー Anyway, I just wanted to preempt you from saying "even though you believe in ghosts, you can't explain that stuff." Acony: あなたアタマ固いじゃない？若いくせに ー Aren't you a little close-minded? Even though you're young. P24: (panel one) Motomi: こっ根拠はあるのか 根拠？ ー Do you have evidence? Evidence!? (panel two) Acony: あるわよだってあたし感じるもの ー I do. But it's something I feel... Acony: この建物の感性を ー This building's sensitivity. (panel three) Acony: このアパートの永い歴史のなかのかつての主人達……みんなここを愛してた ー Throughout this building's long history, all the residents... They all loved this place. Acony: そういう人達の思いがあって物には魂が宿るのよ ー Those people's feelings met, and a spirit was lodged in this building. (panel four) Motomi: それはキミの妄想なんじゃ…… ー That's just your imagination... (panel five) Acony: 信じないならそれでいいわよ ー If you don't believe me, that's fine. Acony: 何にせよあなたはこのアパートに受け入れられたのよ ー But no matter what you say, you were drawn into this building. (panel six) Motomi: 受け入れられた？ ー Drawn in? Acony: そうよ すんなり敷地内に入れたでしょ ？ ー That's right. You came here with no objection, didn't you? (panel seven) Acony: とりあえず よろしく ー Anyway, nice to meet you. Acony: あなたちょっと生意気だけど仲良くしてあげるわ ー You're a bit audacious, but I'll be your friend. P25: (panel one) Motomi: そりゃどーも ー Thanks for that. Motomi (to himself): どっちが…… ー Who's being who's friend... (panel two) Text: 冷 ー COLD (panel three) Motomi: ! (panel four) Acony: 本当の自己紹介 ー My real self-introduction. (panel five) Acony: あたしじつは…… ー The truth is... Acony: 死人なのよ ー I'm dead. P26: (panel one) Motomi: は？ ー Huh? (panel two) Acony: わけあってこうして動いてるけど本当はもう死んでるの ー I may be moving around like this, but in reality, I'm already dead. (panel three) Motomi: ふーんそーなんだ ー Oh, I see. Text: 脳停止 ー Cerebral interruption Acony: まあそうよね あっさり信じられてもこっちてしてもヒクしね ー Well, I'd be more surprised if you believed me right away. (panel four) Acony: まあいいわ そのうちわかるから ー Well, it's fine as long as you know that. Acony: それじゃまたね ー See you. (panel five) Box: フシギちゃんかぁ…… ー So she's crazy... Motomi: あんなにカワイイのに…… ー Even though she's so cute... Text: 惜しい ー What a pity. P27: (panel one) SFX: チチッ ー chirp chirp (panel two) Motomi: あれ…… ー Huh..? (panel three) Motomi: どこだここは…… ってそうか…… ー Where is this..? Oh, right... Motomi: じいちゃんのアパート…… ー Grandad's apartment... (panel four) Grandad: オラ起きろ初日から遅刻すんじゃねーぞ ー Hey, get up! Don't go and be late on the first day! SFX: バン ー BAM! (panel five) Grandad: ほら弁当ありがたく食えよ ー Here's your lunch, be grateful and eat it! (panel six) Motomi: じいちゃんゆうべさ…… ー Grandad: とっとと差替えて行けよオレぁまた寝る ー Get changed and go! I'm going back to sleep... SFX: ふぁーぁ ー yawn P28: (panel one) Motomi: ……… ー ... SFX: バタン ー slam (panel two) Motomi: あ そうか あの後部屋に戻って …… ー Oh, that's right... After that, I went back to my room... Motomi: 急に眠くなって…… ー And suddenly got sleepy.

０ 「お茶の間的地獄少女です。よろしく。」 Nice to meet you. I'm your friendly neighborhood hell girl.
待望の声、続々。隔月連載 第２話 The voices of those who have waited long, one after another. Bi-monthly serial, Chapter 2.
１ 空木基海、１３歳。アヤしいアパートに移ったら、アヤしい人がいたわけで。 Utsuki Motomi, 13 years old. If he's moved into a "strange" apartment complex, it's because there are "strange" people that live there.
だからさあお母さん That's what I said, Mom
ぜってーおかしいって このアパート This building is definitely abnormal. 不審な住人ばっかでさ All the residents are sketchy
そんなことないわよ だっておじいちゃん何年もそこで暮らしてるのよ That can't be, your grandfather has lived there for years.
おじいちゃんは何て言ってるの？ What did your grandfather say about it? だからー じいちゃんもへんなんだってお母さん何とか言ってよ Like I was saying, gramps is weird too. Mom, can you just talk to him.
きっとあなた慣れない場所で過敏になってるのよ 大丈夫おじいちゃんがついてるから You're just getting nervous over being in a place you haven't gotten used to yet. It'll be alright, your grandfather is with you.
あ 飛行機の時間だわ じゃあね また電話する Ah It's time for my flight. Bye bye, I'll call again. プッ Sfx: Bu *click* あっ ちょっと お母さん ちょっとーっ Agh! Hey! Mom! Hold on!
何騒いでんだ？ タイヤキ買って来たぞ Whattayou fussin' about? I bought you some taiyaki 切れた。。。。 She hung up...
２ お母さんは子供のこと心配じゃないんだ 一人息子なのにっ Mom doesn't worry about her kid. And I'm her only child...
なんだもうお母ちゃんが恋しいのか ほらちゃぶ台だせ 茶淹れるぞ What? You miss her already? C'mon get the table out, I'm going to make some tea. ちげー！ You're wrong!
あいつも忙しそうだな 何の仕事してるか知らんが She seems like she's real busy. Though I've got no idea what she does
俺もよく把握してないけど I don't have a good grasp of it either あいつは子供の頃から人の話を聞かんヤツでな 一人で何でも勝手に決めて 親には事後承諾よ 進学も就職も結婚も離婚も She's the type that never listens to what people say- been like that ever since she was a kid. Deciding everything by herself and then getting our consent afterwards. That's how it was for her school, her job, her marriage, her divorce...
まあ。。。 そういうとこ俺に似てるのかもしらんがな Well... she might seem similar to me in that sense
確かに。。。 お母さんはじいちゃんに似てるよ Definitely... Mom's just like you. ３ かっ かっ かっ かっ かっ かっ Sfx: Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka *Clak Clak Clak
にこ Sfx: Niko *Grin* こんばんわ Good evening
あ。。。 こ。。。 こんばんわ Um... G... Good evening
だ。。。 誰？ W... Who was that?
パパの担当者のみそのさん Misono-san. She's my father's manager. わっ Whoa!!
４ 担当って "Manager?" 小説雑誌の担当さん あたしのパパ小説家なの ハッシュ ランチェスターっていう。。。 She's the manager for a magazine for novels. My father is a novelist. His name is Hash Lanchester.
あの人フリーの編集者なんだけど 彼女の担当作家は一度も原稿を落とさないって聞くわ She's a freelance editor but I heard that the writers she manages have never had their manuscripts turned down.
ふーん 腕利きなんだ Hmmm then she's pretty skilled さぁ。。。 でもパパはちょっと畏れてるわ 彼女のこと。。。 Perhaps... But my father is a bit scared of her...
なんで？ あんなにキレイな人なのに？ Why? Despite her being so beautiful? あたしはべつに怖くないわ。。。 それにあたしのママのほうがもっとキレイよ I'm not really afraid of her... Besides, my mother is much more beautiful
何してるの早く What are you doing? Hurry up! え？ Huh?
あたしパパに追い出されて退屈してるの あんたの部屋でお茶をごちそうしてくれんでしょ？ My father threw me out of the apartment and I'm bored. Won't you invite me to your room for some tea?
先生 「月刊怪奇城」のみそのです Sensei, It's Misono from "Gekkan Kaiki Shiro" (Lit: Monthly Bizzare Castle) コン コン Sfx: Kon Kon 原稿のお加減いかがですか？ How is the manuscript going?
５ すみません I'm sorry かちゃ Sfx: Kacha 不調です I'm in a slump
はっ 先生いけません *Gasp* Sensei, that'll never do. は？ Huh?
ネクタイが曲がってます それにお髪も乱れて Your necktie is crooked and your hair is a mess. 何ですか これは？ What do you think you're doing?
先生は仕事中でも 服装に気を遣うと伺いわたしも共感しておりました If you paid a little more attention to your clothes even if you're in the middle of your work, then I would be more sympathetic when I come to visit やっぱり美しい仕事は美しい身なりからですよねっ After all, an exquisite work comes from an exquisite appearance
す。。。 すみません しばらく待っていてください S... Sorry, please just wait for a moment もう少しで終わると思いますので I think I can finish it soon
はい Okay どうぞ 勝手にお茶など淹れて飲んでください Please, feel free to make some tea for yourself
６ 先生のお部屋初めて入りましたけど ステキな インテリアですね This is the first time I've been in your room but the interior is wonderful この血のような真っ赤な壁とか Such as these blood-like crimson walls いや。。。 娘の興味でして Oh, that's... my daughter's touch.
先生 あの絵もしかして 奥様？ Sensei, this painting, could it perhaps be of your wife? 誰がお描きになったんです？ Who was the person who painted it?
恥ずかしながらわたしが。。。 I'm embarrassed to say that I did... あまり似てませんがね。。。 But it doesn't really resemble her...
黒髪ですのね。。。 それに和服。。。 She has black hair... and is wearing Japanese clothes... 妻は日本人です My wife is Japanese.
７ 独身者用の部屋で始めて入ったけど This is the first time I've been in a room for a bachelor but せっまいわねー It's tiiiiiny- ちょぅ ちょっと靴脱げよ He-Hey! Take off your shoes!
しかも 家具がほとんど無いのね And you've got no furniture either. ほんとど家に置いてきたり捨てたりした They were all left at the house or thrown away
家があるのにどうしてここへ来たの？ Why did you come here even though you've got a house?
ちょっと家庭の事情でね。。。 当面の保護者であるじいちゃんが ここを動きたがらなかったからさ 中学生じゃ アパート貸してくんないし バイトもできないしさ Some issues in the family... My grandfather who's my current guardian didn't want to move from here and as a middle school student I can't rent an apartment or get a job.
なんかさあ 不便な 年齢よね It really is an inconvenient age to be around 社会的にも自立できないもんね I mean, it's not possible to be socially independent
ぽい Sfx: Poi *toss 精神的には自立してるぞ おれは Emotionally, I consider myself independent. まあ 都合のいい時だけ子供ぶったり 大人ぶったりできるけどね Well, but I can act like an adult or a child whenever it's convenient for me.
８ あたしなんか実年齢的にはすっかり大人なのに外見が１３歳のままだから 年々ギャップが広がっていくわ For me, despite being a completely adult in terms of my actual age, my outward appearance stays that of a 13 year old. And year by year that gap widens.
きみさあ学校でもそーゆーこと言ってんの？ Do you say that sort of stuff at school too? 日本人 そーゆージョークはちょっとビミョーだからやめたほうがいいとおもうよ That sort of joke might be considered in bad taste by Japanese people so I think you should probably stop.
学校なんか行ってないわよ I'm not going to something like school 言ったでしょ 死人だって I told you didn't I? That I'm dead?
えっ だって日本じゃ中学は義務教育だよ Huh? But middle school is part of Japanese compulsory education. 。。。 人の話を聞かない子ね これ以上話すと疲れそうだからもういいわ ... You're a kid who doesn't listen to what other people say, aren't you. If I continue with this conversation it seems like I'll just tire myself out so forget it.
はい Here you go.
あらほんとにお茶が出てきたわ Oh? You really made tea? インスタントのコーヒーだけど 文句言わないでよね It's just instant coffee, don't complain.

ねえ退屈 なんかないの？ Hey, I'm bored. Don't you have anything to do? わるいけど テレビもゲームも無いよ Sorry, I don't have a TV or video games.
いつも 何してるの So what do you usually do? べつに。。。 本読んだり 音楽聴いたり Nothing really... Read books, listen to music

あ～あ 退屈だなぁ A～h Im bored なんか話してよ Talk about something
は。。。話しって T... Talk? 何話すの？ What do you want to talk about?
じゃあ。。。 モトミのお母さんてどんな人なの？ How about... What kind of person your mother is, Motomi? モ。。。 モトミ？ Mo... Motomi? (Note: The whole... being direct thing is very foreign to Motomi (Where's my -san!))
モトミでしょ？ It's Motomi, isn't it? アメリカだから しょうがない。。。 She's American so there's no helping it...
１１ どんなって。。。 How should I put this... そうだな一言で言えば。。。 仕事人間かな。。。 If I could only say one thing it'd probably be... Workaholic...
仕事が生きがいみたいな人だよ She's a person who's work seems to be the reason for her life. ２年前に父親と離婚してから拍車がかかった After she got divorced to my father two years ago she really got into it 今は仕事で外国に行ってる以上 To the extent that she's working overseas now.
おしまい？ The end? おしまい The end.
子供の頃からあまり家にいないからよく覚えてないんだ She was rarely at home since I was little so I don't really remember her well
。。。キミのお母さんてそんなに美人なの？ ... Is your mother really such a beauty?
まあね ママは日本人なの Well, my mom is Japanese 黒い瞳に長いまつげが印象的だった Her dark eyes and long eyelashes were really impressive
１２ ”だった”って じゃあ今は？ "Were?" what about now?
。。。わからないの。。。 何処にいるのか。。。 ... I don't know... where she is... 日本に来たのはママを捜すためなのよ。。。 We came to Japan in order to search for her...
１０年もの間パパはママを捜し続けたわ だけどママの行方はわからなかった。。。 For ten years my dad looked for my mom. But we never found where she was... だから あたしたちはもうここでずっと待っていることにしたの That's why we decided to just stay here and wait.
１３ ここにいれば いつかきっとママが来てくれるって信じてるの If we stay here then we believe that mom will definitely come to us one day だって That's because
ここはママが生まれた場所だから This is the place where she was born.
１４
。。。そろそろ帰るわ ... It's about time for me to go
パパの仕事も終わった頃だと思うし I think dad's probably about done with his work おじゃまさま Sorry to bother you
じゃあね See you いい時間潰しになったわ It was a nice way to kill some time
ぱたん Sfx: Patan あ そ Oh. Really.
１５ ママを捜すために日本に来たの We came to Japan in order to search for her.

まだやってる よく続くわ They're still playing. They've been at it for a while.
１７ あの。。 訊かない方がよいかとも思うんだけど やっぱ気になるんでぇ。。。 Um... I think it might be better if I don't ask but it'll definitely bother me if I don't... 校了明けにはいつもああなのよ 彼女 徹夜で飲んでマージャンやってるの She's always like this once she finishes proofreading. Staying up all night, drinking and playing mahjong 彼女？ She? みそのさん Misono-san 巳園 Misono
あら ゆうべ言わなかったっけ 彼女ここの住人なのよ Oh? I didn't tell you last night? She's one of the residents here.
飲むと正体が出るのよ When she drinks her true character comes out 彼女の正体って何っ？ Her "True character?" What do you mean?
世の中には知らないほうがいいってこともあるのよ There are things in this world that might be better remaining unknown 普段はキレイで明るいお姉さなんだし She's normally a beautiful and bright lady after all じゃあ 中途半端な情報与えんなよ Don't leave me hanging with the incomplete story
１８ やっぱりここは魑魅魍魎の住処かっ Then this really _is_ where the evil spirits live うーん。。。 中らずとも遠からずってとこかしら Hmm... That's not exactly it, but you're not far off either
このアパートが何故かフシギなものを呼び寄せるのよ For some reason, this apartment complex attracts many strange things この建物自体物の怪みたいなものだしね The building itself is, after all, sort of like a spirit
大丈夫 基本的に害は無いと思うから Don't worry, it's not actually dangerous, I think.
あれは誰？ おそろしくフツーで地味る人しかもジャージ Who's that? A painfully plain looking person, and on top of that, in a track suit. 休日モードのみそのさんよ It's Misono-san in her "day off" mode
ジャージはなにだけど、めがねもいいかと思ううわけで。 What's going on with that tracksuit, though I do think the glasses are nice.
次回登場は９月号の予定。さらに面白い住人の存在が発覚します。 The next appearance is scheduled for the September issue. Even more will come to light regarding the existence of these interesting residents.
Notes:
0 ochanomateki: ochanoma is basically the living room. It's a room where people used to have tea, but now it's generally regarded as the tv room. Ochanomateki is something that is intimate, but also may be popular or in season. Ochanomateki conversation or something like that. Friendly neighborhood might do well in that sense as it gives a sense of intimacy and playfulness and you get a reference to spiderman in there too which works well with something out there like a "hell girl" for that matter.
2 chabudai is just a small table for tea, but it would be redundant to say "get the tea table out, i'm gonna make some tea"
4 A magazine for novels... I assume that the novels that they work on are published in a serial fashion.
9 Chiru: to wither, to fall, to die, etc Iru: to be
17 "True character" at least works with the normal meaning of the idiom. https://mangahelpers.com/t/laika/releases/10005[English] [Translation] Acony 1 by Laika2009-03-03T23:52:33+00:00Laikaadmin@mangahelpers.comDon't use this without permission please.

２１ 。。。で ... So ここで何するの？ What are you going to do here?
ゴソ Sfx: Goso
これを Take this
あそこに結んできてほしいの I want you to tie it up over there.
ええっ Whaat? 悪いわね あたし高い所苦手なの Sorry but, I'm no good with high places
お願い Please しゃきん Sfx: SHAKIN
２２ ご苦労様 Good work
何の意味があるの？ これ Was there some meaning to that?
あのリボンはある人が昔使っていたものなの That ribon was something a certain someone used a long time ago もし。。。 見つけたら 来てくれるかもしれないと思って I think that if... they saw it they might come to me
こんな周りをビルに囲まれたところじゃ 遠くからは見えないよ In a place like this that's surrounded by other buildings, you won't be able to see it from far away このアパート低いもん I mean, this apartment building isn't tall either
。。。そうか。。。 ... Is that so... そうね ... You're right.
２３ それはそうと あたしここに１０年すんでるけど Oh, that's right, I've lived here for 10 years and yet 新しい入居者が来たの初めてだと思うわ I think this is the first time a new resident has arrived
そうだろうね Yeah, well... だってここ廃屋みたいにみえるもん よく残ってるよな That's cause it looks completely run down here. It's lasted for a long time.
なんども壊されそうになってるのよ でもダメなの It seemed like it was going to be demolished countless number of times. But they couldn't do it.
それ。。。 じいちゃんも言ってたけど どうしてなの？ That's... that's what gramps said too but, why? やっぱ 霊的な祟りとかそーゆーもの？ It's got to be some sort of supernatural curse or something right?
たたり。。。 何それ？ A curse... What are you talking about? 理由はかんたんよ The reason is really simple
このアパート自体が It's 'cause the apartment complex itself 壊されるのを嫌がってるからよ doesn't want to be demolished
２４ は？ Wha-? どういうこと？ What do you mean?
このアパートには意志があるのよ This apartment building has a will of it' own 日本では古い物に魂が宿るっていう考えがあるでしょ In Japan we believe that souls dwell inside ancient things, right? 古い物が妖怪に変化したり 一つの生物として確立してしまうの And that these ancient things can shift forms into spectres and the like, completely establishing itself as a single creature
ちょっと待ってよ それは昔の人の妄想。。。つか物語りで Hold on, those are the myths that people believed in the past... I mean, they're stories. アメリカにもあるわよそういう家 They exist in America too, these kinds of houses
アメリカの場合は家に悪魔が取り憑いて人を食べちゃうとかだけどね But in America, The houses are possesed by demons and eat people and stuff. 日本のそーゆー概念って一神教文化の国では起こりにくい発想だから興味深いわ The notion of this in Japan is- it would be difficult for a concept like that to occur in a country with a monotheistic culture so It's pretty interesting.
じゃなくてさ ぼくだって ぺつにユーレイとか怖くないんだけどさ That's not it... I mean I'm not really afraid of ghosts or anything though 本当のこと言ってるわよ I'm telling you the truth
だいたいユーレイとかは信じてるくせに そーゆーことは理解できないのって予盾してるわ I mean, if you believe in ghosts then wouldn't it be contradictory if you said you couldn't comprehend this? あんたあたま固いじゃない？ 若いくせに Aren't you being stubborn? Despite being still young
２５ こっ根拠あるのか 根拠は？ P...proof. got some basis for what you're saying?
あるわよ だってあたし感じるもの この建物の感情を I do. I mean, you know, this is something I can feel. The emotions of this building.
このアパートの永い歴史の中のかつての住人達。。。 みんなここを愛してた The long history of the former residents of this building... They all loved this place そういう人達の思いがあって 物には魂が宿るのよ The memories of those people are here. A soul dwells inside it.
それはキミの妄想なんじゃ。。。 Aren't those just your own delusions...
信じないならそれでいいわよ It doesn't matter if you don't believe me 何にせよあんたはこのアパートに受け入れられたのよ In any case you've been accepted by this apartment building.
受け入れられた？ Accepted? そうよ すんなり敷地内に入れたでしょう？ Yeah, you were able to enter the premises without problem weren't you?
とりあえず よろしく Anyways, it's nice to meet you あんたちょっと生意気だけど仲よくしてあげるわ You're a bit of a smart ass but I'll be your friend.
そりゃどーも Oh, thanks... どっちが。。。 Who's a smart ass...
冷 COLD
本当の自己紹介 This is my true self introduction
あたしじつは。。。 死人なのよ I'm actually... Dead.
２７ は？ Wha? わけあってこうして動いてるけど 本当はもう死んでるの There are reasons as to why I'm moving like this but, I really am already dead.
ふーん そーなんだ Hmmm. Is that so... 脳停止 Braindead まぁそうよね あっさり信じられてもこっちとしてもヒクしね Well, that's true, if you believed me that quickly I'd be taken aback too.
まぁいいわ そのうちわかるから Whatever, it's fine, you'll understand eventually. それじゃ またね See you later
フシギちゃんかぁ Who is she, Hermoinine? あんなにかわいいのに Though she's really cute... 惜しい What a shame
２８ ちちっ Sfx: Chichi
あれ Huh?
どこだ ここは。。。 ってそうか Where am I... Oh that's right じいちゃんのアパート Gramp's apartment
おら起きろ 初日から遅刻すんじゃねーぞ Hey, wake up! Can't be late for your first day! ばん Sfx: Ban
ほら弁当ありがたく食えよ Take your lunch, be grateful while you eat it.
じいちゃんゆうべさ。。。 Gramps, Last night I... とっとと着替えて行けよおらぁまた寝る Go and change and get out of here, I'm goin' back to sleep ふぁぁ Sfx: Fuaaa
２９ ばたん Sfx: Batan
あそうかあの後部屋に戻って。。。 Ah, that's right, I went back to my room after that... 急に眠くなって。。。 And fell asleep right away...
つことはゆうべのあれは。。。 That that means, what happened last night... ひょっとして夢？ Could it have been a dream?
。。。じゃない ... Nope じゃあのヘンな女の子も。。。 Then that weird girl wasn't either... お早うございます Good Morning!
３０ あ。。。 お早う。。。 ございます。。。 Ah... Good... Morning... えと。。。 どなたですか？ Um... Could I ask who you are?
申し遅れました管理人の吉岡です。 Forgive me for the delay but I'm the manager, Yoshioka. 昨日は失礼いたしました 緊張すると消えてしまうもので Pardon my rudeness yesterday. You see, I disappear when I'm nervous.
さーっ Sfx: Sa-
だ！！ Sfx: Da!! いってらっしゃい Have a nice day! なじむまで時間かかりそうだな。。。 Looks like it'll take some time 'till he fits in... 不思議なアパート、楽しい住人。次回の訪問は７月号。あこにーのパパが登場しますよ！ A mysterious apartment building and fun residents. Our next visit will be in July. Acony's father will take the stage!
Notes: 2 So the play on words here is Okuyama no Shikimi Shikimi is the name of the Japanese Anise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_star_anise Okuyama means a secluded mountain. Okuyama no Shikimi is the beginning of poem 4476 in the Manyoushuu okuyama no, shikimi ga hana no, na no gotoya, shikishiku kimi ni, koiwatarinamu in the secluded mountains, the flower of the anise, together with it's name, to you who is weeping, leave all of their love. Or something like that. I'm not good at classical japanese!
Uhhh since I doubt we have any poems that have anything to do with the star anise. I just used the "star" part of it and used "sky" instead of secluded mountain. At least that way there can be a connection for the stars and the sky.
3 Don't know if you want to keep it as Shikimi Fields or Star Anise Fields so the reference as to why the whole introduction had them in there is clear.
27 Or insert some name of some magical girl. https://mangahelpers.com/t/laika/releases/10004[English] [Translation] Acony Prelude by Laika2009-03-03T23:51:43+00:00Laikaadmin@mangahelpers.comDon't use this without permission please.
Acony 00 1
立ち止らずに、いらっしゃいませ Don't just stand there, Come in.
僕が越してきた古いアパート となりの部屋にへんな女の子が住んでいる This is the old apartment complex I moved into. A strange girl lives in the room next door 彼女の名はアコニー僕と同じ歳 Her name is Acony, she's the same age as I am.
かわいく、こわく、もちろんせつないー冬目景の新世界 Cute, sad, and of course, agonizing- the new world of Kei Toumei
２ 彼女は父親と二人暮らし She lives together with her father. 父親は怪奇小説家で夜しか仕事をしないらしい Her father writes mystery novels and only seems to work at night.
３ 仕事の邪魔をしないように 彼女はよく一人で真夜中に廊下や階段でねずみと遊んでる In order not to disturb him, she often plays alone with the rats, by the corridors and stairways in the middle of the night.
わたしは眠らないし、食べないし、歳もとらないのよ だって、もう死んでるんだもの "I don't sleep, I don't eat, I don't even age, I mean, I'm already dead, you know."
と 彼女は言う She says
４
変だけど とてもキュートな彼女 She's a strange but really cute girl.
そんな彼女と僕は友だちになった And I became friends with this girl.
お出口はもうありません The exits are already gone
死者なのに生きていて、かわいい。 そんなアコニーともっと深いおつきあいをご所望の紳士淑女のみなさまは、まずはお手紙を。お友だちからはじめましょう。 Even though she's dead, she's living and cute. For those of you gentlemen and ladies who wish to get acquainted with her better, begin with a letter. Let's start by being friends.
Notes; Setsunai can be "moving" in the sense that it's "heart-rending" but it generally connotates something that's painful. Acony being her name, I thought it'd just be best to play it off and use agonizing.
It's not that "goth" is totally off, but that kaikishousetsu is mystery, kaiki by itself is bizzare/grotesque, but most entries will list kaikishousetsu as just mystery by itself. is there some genre that can fit that? maybe occult mystery?)
