Page 93 Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): Within the sandstorm, the hero and the demon confronted one another. Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): However, the hero, the boy called Cayes, gripping tightly onto his magical hammer stood there
Page 94 Title: Reading Time Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): Trembling
Page 95 Cayes: Haa Cayes: Haa Cayes: Haa Monster(DISTORTED FONT): GOHAHAHAHA Monster(DISTORTED FONT): So this is the hero!? It's just a spineless little kid! Monster(DISTORTED FONT): The resentment my comrades hold, I shall clear all that for you right here and now.
Page 97 Guy: ...what was up with that? Guy: To get pulled into that book like that... Guy: Come to think of it, the book cover was one of ours. Guy: Oh well. She'll be reading right next to me tomorrow too... Small text: The same as every day
Page 98 Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): For every demon he slew he brought himself the resentment that came with them. The time for rest and anything of that sort would no longer come. Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): Thinking that, his frame of mind became one without hope. That together with the fatigue from his long journey, Cayes fell to the ground. Old man: Hoho. So you are the much talked about hero. Old man: We ended up saving a great man then.
Page 99 Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): The elderly man was bringing the girl to the "Temple". They were on their way to perform their village's salvation ritual. Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): However, it would be difficult for them to walk any further because of the elderly man's physical strength. They asked Cayes to guard the girl. Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): They had also helped saved him from dying after he collapsed. Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): Cayes could not refuse.
Page 101 Cayes: Haa Cayes: Haa Cayes: Haa Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): Cayes feared that more demons would now come after him than before. He had the handicap of having someone to protect. Just for how much farther would they be safe? He hated painful things. He did not want to get hurt. He did not want to die. Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): Cayes was not "One with courage" or anything of that sort. He began fighting to avenge his parents. His name came to be known among demons and he continued to fight because of it. Even after avenging them, he continued to fight. Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): To protect his own body, he had slain far, far too many demons. The people called him a "hero" for it. Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): In reality, Cayes was one who feared injury and death to an excessive degree. There was no such thing in this wasteland.
Page 102 Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): Cayes thought to himself Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): "I can't stand it anymore" Constantly Tv: And the motive of the arrested youths was this Tv: "We were bored". That's what they said but... Guy: So boredom's a crime...
Page 103 Guy: No dreams. No money. Guy: I don't have a girlfriend. No hobbies either. Guy: And my job at the bookstore is one where I can take off to have a smoke. Guy: An everyday where today was the same as yesterday and tomorrow will be the same as today... Looks like I'm a poet too. Small text: Haha Guy: All I have is Guy: time
Page 104 Guy: ...That book...
Page 105 Girl: Thank you for coming this far Girl: I had fun on our adventure. Girl: I don't know the particulars of the ritual so I don't how long it will take. Girl: Wait here okay. Girl: There's the trip back too after all. Box: Fun? Box: Fun you say? Box: Just what part of being so close to death was fun... Girl: Kyaaaa!!
Page 106 Monster: I extend my welcome to the sacrifice of the ritual. Girl: Wha Monster: The ritual is pretty straightforward. I eat you and I swear an oath not to attack your village for another three years. Simple give and take, that's all. Girl: Eh Girl: Wait... Monster: Now then, time to eat... Monster: Hmph. Relax kiddo. Monster: I'm not going to be eating you. Monster: Just don't get in my way and I'll leave you alone.
Page 107 Monster: I'll even tell the other demons "You shall not be harmed". Monster: All you have to do is go away, just like that. Monster: That's not such a bad deal right? Box: I won't get attacked? I won't have to fight? Box: I won't get hurt Box: I Won't die Girl: Cay Girl: Cayes Cayes: Ah Cayes: I
Page 108 Cayes(BOLD): I'm scared Monster: Huh?
Page 109 Cayes(BOLD): OOO Cayes(BOLD): OOOOOHH (Might be better to just leave this page untranslated considering the nice calligraphy there)
Page 111 Woman: Ah... Woman: Th-thank you very much. I'm really... Guy: No, it's okay. Rather than that there's something I'd like to ask you... Woman: Yes?
Page 112 Guy: This one is it... Guy: ...! This book... Cayes: Haa Cayes: Haa Cayes: Haa Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): Cayes was afraid of pain. He was afraid of getting hurt. He was afraid of dying. Cayes: Haa Cayes: Haa Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): But
Page 113 Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): The one thing he feared the most was Box(CHINESE LOOKING FONT): Seeing the eyes of those who sought aid Cayes: Wheeze Cayes: Haa Girl: Hey... Cayes: i'm fine Cayes: Haa Cayes: Haa Cayes: Let me rest a little then I'll get back to the journey. Girl: Journey...? Where to... Cayes: The place I've always been searching for. Are you coming too?
Page 114 Cayes: Where today was the same as yesterday and tomorrow will be the same as today. Cayes: To a land where time passes by quietly and peacefully.
Page 115 Guy: I see Guy: So that's what it was. Boy: The Boy of the Wasteland Guy: I read this when I was a kid. The was the time when Guy: I had hobbies as well as dreams. Guy: A novelist... Guy: Phh Woman: Ahh Guy: Welco... Guy mutter: Ah woman: So you were the man in the bookstore then. WOman: Ah, this...
Page 116 Guy: Thank... WOman: Ah, I was thinking of giving it to you tomorrow... Woman: That Woman: Pardon me but Woman: You like books don't you? Woman: I recommend that one. Guy: Th-thanks Guy: Haha... Guy: Looks like I got found out about sneaking peeks from right next to her huh...
Page 117 Text(BOLD): Part 4 [The Exorcist] Text: *This bespectacled dark-haired exorcist oneesan wearing a T-shirt, jeans and a cap was character I came up with before my debut. A strong masculine spirit, cooking seasoned with weak alcohol and dislikes smoking, has a hobby of mountain climbing, After failing to find a job she met a hermit in the mountains and became his disciple, that's how she got started. Though the main story's actually about the hitman and the child spirit, the exorcist played a support-like role. Starting up with her was impossible so I just drew her butting in. She's a good character and easy to use so I'd like to draw her again if I come up with something... ...at any rate the legacy behind the "pre-debut" is rich and abundant. Woman: An Exorcist
Text(BOLD): Part 5 [Reading Time] Text: *The main character of a work within a work, Cayes and his magic hammer which happens to be origin of the Fukuryusho weapon from my "Sanjin Sadou" series. Those moments of impact with bludgeoning weapons are pretty cool but that form of lugging it around seemed a little tense doesn't it. And so I came up with a "without a before" hammer. Thought it'd be cool if it looked like a cane normally... That's what I think but what did you make of it? Cayes: Haa Cayes: Haa Cayes: Haa

Page 83 Guy: ...Still alive... Girl: Think you can try persuading it? I'm no good with kids you see. Girl mutter: It's a spirit that's communicating using modern language after all. Guy: Ah? Girl: I'll be gone as soon as it's done. I'll let you die quietly here. Girl: Ah. But don't go and turn into an earthbound spirit okay. Small text: That'd be troublesome.

I slept in the middle with my parents on either side of me right here in this room. Guy: One day, my dad didn't come back home from work.

Page 89 Girl: Your own body. That's where you should return to. Boy: ...no way. Girl: You are an idea from this man's past. Girl: Something that he lost in this place.

Page 75 Part 2 [Yaichirou] *My debut work. This takes place in the same setting as in [Geko Geko] actually. Incidentally, Tetsumaki, the main character of [Geko Geko] is related to Keiko. Keiko made an appearance in [Geko Geko] too. Chronologically, [Yaichirou] took place before [Geko Geko]. Keiko had been already been dumped when she appeared in [Geko Geko], she's doing everything she can to keep Yaichirou a secret so she can go out on dates. Quite troubling really.
Part 3 [The Man of Legend] *This was also something I drew up before making my debut. It's nothing more than an idea for a oneshot. For the life of me, I honestly can't remember what I was thinking when I drew this. Incidentally, I think the protagonist Yamanaka-san happens to be the most powerful character that I've drawn so far in terms of combat power.https://mangahelpers.com/t/transfade/releases/25027[English] [Translation] Geko Geko 2 by Transfade2010-09-28T00:14:09+00:00Transfadeadmin@mangahelpers.comThis is reserved for Otakami Scans

Yaichirou: Doesn't have anything to do with me. Yaichirou: I am a cat after all. Keiko: ARRRRRGGGHH! Keiko: And I'm the one who ends up taking the trip home...

Page 41 Part 1 [Geko Geko]
*The frog and the bespectacled girl that I've been wanting to draw has finally been drawn. The room they live in also being at a place I lived at before, the heroine loves drinking alcohol, All of it was composed of only things I liked. This is the last work I drew before my debut, however, even now after having become a pro, it's still the one I liked drawing the most.
*Just as soon as I finished drawing up the name for this "Geko Geko", they had announced the results of the Rookie of the Year award, the one that I submitted Yaichirou(Next Page) for, and the chief phoned in to tell me that my debut's been decided. As the work that stood witness to the moment I stepped forward from being an aspiring mangaka to an honest to goodness mangaka, this sends me back deep into all sorts of memories. ...so, chief who contacted me about the results of the Rookie of the Year award told me this, "Show me the name that you're drawing right now", and just like that I made my way to over to OURS. Rather than my debut work, it's this "Geko Geko" that started it all. ...And that's why it gets to be the title of the index.
What didn't get covered *The two main characters are both science and technology university students, Tetsumaki having future prospects as a prodigious institution's student. But then that went and happened to him... and it turns out the guy's happy with it anyway. Right now he's having fun swimming around and merry-making with the locals. Nanami's picking up the odds and ends nicely. How these two began their romance is... a mystery.
Box: One morning, he just woke up as frog. Tetsu: Team Barton? Nanami: They're martians or something Tetsu: Hmmm Box: Ever since then he's stayed out of the public view and locked himself away in this room all this time.

Page 2 Text: Preface Mizukami: Greetings. I am Mizukami. Mizukami: It's finally out. The anthology I've put my heart into. Mizukami mutter: Ahh. It has a nice ring to it. Mizukami: I didn't think I'd get it out so soon though. I was really surprised at that. Mizukami: However, since the anthology won't see popularity beyond a certain degree it won't really pull in any profit so no more than X0,000 of the serialised volumes will be, or rather, won't get published... At least that's what I hear. Truth be told [Sanjin Sadou] isn't being printed so much. Mizukami mutter: Finally doing coloured pages only to use them for pointless chatter Note: All two volumes of [Sanjin Sadou] are now on sale. Please buy them at major bookshops or manga specialty stores. ...They're hard to find though.
