- …what? - Isn’t this bag suspicious? [linked bubble] …like something’s rattling in it.
- …I knew it!! [linked bubble] There are so many tools (?) in here!!

p137----- - Oh, Hazuki-chan. [linked bubble] Koutarou’s carrying dangerous things around again… - Shut up!
- …oh right, Haruhiko, [linked bubble] you had no interest in destroying Iron Bamboo in the first place.
- Kou… - Shut up!
- Leave me alone!
p138----- - If that thing disappeared, [linked box] everything would go back to normal.

- …I wanted to talk to you, Koutarou-kun, so I waited here. - Do you [linked bubble] have some time?
p141----- - What I said about shooting stars and meteorites, [linked bubble] and the class on space a while ago, - I wonder what you thought of them…
- …You’re not with Haruhiko-kun today. - …Hey - Can you hurry up and get to the point? [linked bubble] I don’t have that much time to waste. - since I have to go destroy Iron Bamboo.
p142----- - …I see you dislike me…
- …exactly right. [linked bubble] Talking about things no one can understand… - like whether or not there are messages from space and space aliens.
- Are those things going to save the village from being destroyed?
- Wha…? - These… are some of the observation data father and everyone gathered. [linked bubble] I wasn’t sure which parts would be good to bring along…
- But now that I think about it, there’s nothing interesting about a whole heap of words and graphs… [linked bubble] …a failure… - …what did you come to talk about…?
p143----- - Oh… there’s a piece of meteorite I got on my 16th birthday… [linked bubble] wanna see? - I asked what you came to talk about!
- …I wanted - Koutarou-kun to understand.
- …At first I believed you showed me the village knowing I was from Takukou Developments, [linked bubble] and it surprised me. - I was really - happy.
p144----- - But when you called me a traitor I realised that wasn’t the case [linked bubble] …and it was a shock to me when you flung my hand away the other day.
- That is what I - …came to say.
- I don’t know if I’ll be able to get you to understand, but [linked bubble] I will try - to answer any questions you have.

- …I’ve [linked bubble] been - living in this village ever since I was born…
- Going to school, getting in fights, playing, [linked bubble] getting yelled at, getting praised, - getting a boil after touching a weird bug, the bitterness of the horsetail that I ate on the spur of the moment [linked bubble] ...mom starting to have trouble with her arm… - It seems like everything will disappear. I don’t want that to happen.
p146----- - Hey!
- Do you really believe [linked bubble] that there’s meaning to gathering shooting stars and analysing them?
p147----- - …If it wasn’t for this
p148----- - The past 11 years of my life… [linked bubble] dad and mom from before I was born… everything about this village… - The things you people are doing [linked bubble] I wish it would all [linked bubble] …just disappear!
p149----- - Realising that I was crying [linked bubble] I couldn’t help but run away.

- I wonder what happened?
- So [linked bubble] nobody’s, - …seen her?
p153----- - Since when—?
- 2 days after the adults started searching for [linked bubble] Oosaki Kanna.
- …Kanna-san really is missing… [linked bubble] Hope she’s okay. - Maybe Kanna-san [linked bubble] really did run away because she heard Koutarou’s true feelings…
p154----- - …Shall we look for her too?
- …wha - Only for a little while. [linked bubble] Secretly. [linked bubble] We’ll search the places the adults haven’t looked.
- Looks like you really wanted to search for her. - …Shut it!! - Don’t talk too loudly.
p155----- - There are lights from torches [linked bubble] so not that way! - Right.
- …Only us children here in the middle of the night, [linked bubble] it’s a little scary.
- Space aliens a light year away [linked bubble] looking at Earth from a year later, and me looking at the sky right now…

p172----- - …Dunno. [linked bubble] Anyways Kanna-san isn’t here anymore.

Crooked text: now then. - While drawing this story, there were innumerable scenarios outlined - in the faxes we sent back and forth that couldn’t be included… - in the main story. Text beside Touma: loooom

Card beside Hazuki: Became a bit inconspicuous, that one Leftmost card: Lots of siblings Alien’s card: Amazing in a lot of ways. - Speaking of scenarios, I thought that planning them out are a vital step before doing the story outline, - but working on this project has made me realise that it is also about breathing life into the characters.

p093----- Chapter 3: Observation
p094----- - A thought comes to me now - what was it like - for the shooting star to see this planet from outer space? What did it feel when it fell toward this place - all by itself?
- “I spent a week puzzling about it, - and I never saw it again after that.”
p095----- - Really! [linked bubble] Kanna-san’s Observation Diary is so innocent. - To go so far as to make this diary… - …This just shows how amazing Kanna-san is. Koutarou can’t compare. - What do you mean “can’t compare”!! [linked bubble] Don’t laugh! It’s rude!
- Why don’t we all split up and look for it again? - I think so too. [linked bubble] It’s better than searching by yourself in the dark. Book title: Kanna-san / Observation Diary
- …Haruhiko - Hazuki……
- But after 5pm we either move around in pairs or hurry home! - …That’s not splitting up— you know?
Boxed text: The day quickly turned to dusk.
p096----- - …In the meantime [linked bubble] the number of Iron Bamboo has increased…
- The sky - looks like it is split into chunks…
p097----- - Um… I have to help out at home so I’ll be going back in a bit. - Me too. - …ah
- …kay - See you tomorrow!
- See you tomorrow then! Kou-chan! - …yeah - …stop calling me Kou-chan.
- What are you saying? Kou-chan is Kou-chan! [linked bubble] Geez, such a small-minded guy. - Ouch! - Ack!
p098----- - Hazukiiiii!! - See you— - Koutarou, you’re heavy…
- Hazuki-chan’s lively. - She’s still such a kid. - Koutarou too.
- ……Hah? - …Ah! The first star!
- That light too came from really far away…
p099----- - Stars! - She said they’re like the sun, burning far, far away. - Light travels approximately 300,000km in a second, circling the Earth for around 7 and 1/2 times. This is the “speed of light”.
- When I was little I wanted to move even faster than light.
- Because - if we saw Earth from 1 light year away
- we’d be able to see the Earth from a year ago. Boxed text: The person called Oosaki Kanna [linked box] said she came to this village to look for shooting stars.
p100----- Boxed text: I’m frustrated. If only [linked box] I’d found out her true intentions earlier. - Koutarou, you’re always just plant yourself in front of Kanna-san’s house, right? - …yeah.
- I was thinking, isn’t Kanna-san from Takukou Developments? - …If we get to the Iron Bamboo wouldn’t we see her there?
- You’re right!!
- Amazing, Haruhiko! - …well, I don’t think we can get to the Iron Bamboo that easily… Text between Koutarou and Haruhiko: Basically Text behind Haruhiko: Koutarou you want to keep pushing forward don’t you
- Let’s get going right now! - Wa… Wait Koutarou, leave it for tomorrow!! [linked bubble] You’re gonna get Dad’s fist again.
p101----- - Can’t help it. [linked bubble] We’ll leave off today and go back! - It’d be good if there were at least some traces of Kanna-san… - Idiot! I haven’t seen her for a week…
- Ah!
Linked bubble: She’s here—!!!
p102----- - Koutarou-kun. Haruhiko-kun.
- Slap - I wish the village would always be here! - I wish the power station never gets built!!
p104----- - … I wanted to [linked bubble] talk to Koutarou-kun and everyone about something.
- …It’s pretty important. - …can I?
- …what
- Do you remember why I came here? - Uh… something… to do with the power station.
- I suppose.
p105----- - …Actually [linked bubble] that has nothing to do with a power station.
- …Huh? - What are you spouting all of a sudden…
- …If it’s not for a power station, what is it? - A device for gathering shooting stars.
- S… - Shooting stars…?
p106----- - Let’s do it together. - I [linked bubble] came here to look for shooting stars.
- My grandfather began the project, [linked bubble] father continued it. - It was observed that this village has a relatively large number of shooting stars.
- …a large number. [linked bubble] Not because it isn’t bright like the cities? Text beside Kanna: I guess they are seen quite often… - No… there really is a lot of them. [linked bubble] Almost like something’s calling them here.
p107----- - There are signs that a gigantic meteorite fell here a long time ago. - …It was confirmed after observation that something really is buried under this village, [linked bubble] but whether it has anything to do with the large number of shooting stars is pure speculation. [linked bubble] However,
- The shooting stars that fall here and the meteorite under this village, [linked bubble] I want to touch them all with my own hands and analyse them.
p108----- - … it was proposed that something about this meteorite that attracts shooting stars might be able to be converted into useable energy, which is why - the adults were told about a power station.
- …Kanna-san…why [linked bubble] are you telling us all this?
p109----- - Because, [linked bubble] you said I could tell you anything…
Linked bubble: Saying something like that…
- In the end the village will still disappear! - It doesn’t make any difference!
- No difference…!!
p110----- - The starry sky filled my eyes. [linked box] Closing them, I walked hurriedly,
- and fell. - You okay? Koutarou. [linked bubble] …is your head clear now?
Words in notebook: Met at the shrine - …What am I doing…
- Writing your Kanna-san Observation Diary? - …Ah well— but… [linked bubble] what is this supposed to mean…
- Aaah…
- …choo! - Yeesh! [linked bubble] What a way to jolt someone out of depression…
p111--- - Hmm… [linked bubble] Ah! Text below bubble: that’s right - Touma-san invited us to a Protest Movement. - Tou… [linked bubble] Eh? Why all of a sudden?
- I always see Touma-san fishing at the same place. - That person probably likes this village.
- …Riiiight… - So that guy goes fishing…
- He seems to be leading a self sufficient lifestyle. - I don’t get it at all. Looks like your Observation Diary there is full of information.
- Rattle - Rattle [linked] rattle
- Oh [linked bubble] Welco—
p112----- - …huh. It’s just Hazuki.
- If you’re looking for Purin [name for crème caramel or custard pudding], it hasn’t come in yet—
- Huh?
- Grab - Hey!! [linked bubble] It’s not my fault! It’ll be delivered soon, just wait a bit…
- …Hazuki?
p113----- - Transferring schools before term 3 starts!?
p114----- - Mm… I didn’t think it would be decided this fast… - Bu…but what about living arrangements… - Big brother has been working over in the city.
Linked bubble: This is an opportunity for the whole family to be together, everyone’s moving there… Text on blackboard: 6th (Tue) On duty ( - I was thinking it’ll happen when I get to 6th grade, so having it decided this quickly was a shock…
- Just calm down!! - Koutarou you won’t be able to do anything anyway!!
p117----- - Talk about the development goes away, the Iron Bamboo gets taken down, Hazuki-chan gets to stay in the village… [linked bubble] Do you really think you can make them happen by yourself, Koutarou? - Taking it out on Kanna-san because things won’t go the way you want… [linked bubble] I don’t see any other way!
p118----- - …Let’s get back. It’s past curfew.
- … Why [linked bubble] …did you follow me? Text on notebook: Kanna-san / Observation Diary
Linked bubble: because our dads will get worried… [linked bubble] if we’re not together.
p119----- - —Haruhiko, so you have such a side to you. [linked bubble] You’re always trying to please the adults… - But I’m frustrated with the adults who condone the Iron Bamboo!
- Going on about curfews and after 5pm’s, [linked bubble] don’t be stupid!!
- Say something already!
p120----- - Haruhiko, you… [linked bubble] a fever…!?
- Go… [linked] Go back, idiot!!
- But…
p121----- - We're supposed to [linked] ...move in groups of two or more after 5...
- ...Honestly, - you're so—
- It's my fault...
- ...tch - Not good. [linked] The rain messed up my sense of direction...
p122----- - …which is the way [linked bubble] back…
p123----- - …There’s no one - To get help from…
- By myself…
- …Dammit…
- Dammit…
p124----- - …Dammit - Dammit [linked] Dammit... - ...The rain is so noisy...
- Pipopapopupepu - Popipupapupu - Pupupupu…
p125----- - Splash
p128----- - Kanna-san’s objective and Hazuki’s transfer and Haruhiko’s true feelings and - adults - …from the beginning, - no one had betrayed anyone.
- …because you fell. Linked bubble: Thank you very much. Text beside Koutarou: Haruhiko must be tired too
p129----- Linked thought bubble: When did the rain… stop?
- I don’t - want to see stars right now.
- Ah!
p130----- - The bus stop…
- You’re here…
p131----- - Found Koutarou-san and Haruhiko-kun—!
Text above panels: Invitation from Rosetta
- Touma-san is alright too… [linked bubble] Were you together? - No…
- Oh… Koutarou-kun, here.
p132----- - Don’t touch me!
- I’ve been [linked] alone from the very beginning.
p133----- - …Since that time [linked] there’s been no luminescence…

p053----- - Chapter 2 Space
p054----- - The number of Iron Bamboo increased. - Arching into the sky, those pylons surround the village like the bars of a cage.
- I don’t want something like that to happen, so…
- No matter how much I dig, how much I hit it, it won’t budge. - It’s Iron Bamboo after all… - Isn’t it better to just give up?
- Saying I should give up… stupid Haruhiko!! - But you can’t topple it no matter what you do… - Moreover look, Kanna-san is there… - Huh?
p055----- - Welcome— - …and that was the dream I had.
- The Kanna-san in the dream betrayed me in reality [linked bubble] A really awful image…
p056----- Linked box: I still haven’t finished the essay I had to write over summer break.
- Didn’t I tell you to at least read some simple books? [linked bubble] If you’d done that you could’ve written around 10 pages and be finished by now. - It’s going to be Fifteenth Night soon… [linked bubble] If you can write at least one page the teacher might let you off— - Kou-chan good luck.
Linked bubble: Be quiet!! Don’t call me Kou-chan!! - Just a… Koutarou - Don’t pop up in weird places!
- The insects’ cries are annoying. It’s that woman’s fault.
p057----- - Raaaaargh!!!
Linked bubble: Why’re you threatening the insects…
- Ever since that happened you’ve been going around with a cynical look on your face. - I understand that you don’t want to see Kanna-san, [linked bubble] but this isn’t like you.
Linked bubble: Don’t sum up something like that in one sentence!! - You said you see her even in your dream? [linked bubble] That’s a really serious illness. Book title: Dream Diagnosis [smaller text] The true self
Thought bubble: Urgh— - Right now your head is filled with Kanna-san.
p058----- - …Well - You can’t help but see it everyday, [linked bubble] that Iron Bamboo.
Linked bubble: Tomorrow we’ll be seeing a face we haven’t seen for a while. - Mm-hm. - … Mm-hm?
- Takukou Developments dispatched those pwople all the way here. - So they must know a lot about the power station project… - …Koutarou, you didn’t listen to the teacher?
- Kanna-san will be coming as a guest lecturer tomorrow.
- ……What was that—!! - I just heard from the teacher!!
p059----- - Takukou Developments, who erected the Iron Bamboo, and the representative they sent here, Kanna-san… - Simply put, she’s an ENEMY.
- And she’s going to be a guest lecturer?
- …Iron Bamboo… she probably came to speak about the power station…
- Kou-chan has a scary face— Text cutting bubble: Ahahahahaha - Shut it—! [linked bubble] That woman is a wolf in sheep’s clothing!! Bubble above Haru: Weird face. - You’ll get sucked in by her lies for sure!
p060----- - …The bell’s rung already. - Hey [linked bubble] What kind of person is Oosaki-san really?
Text in box on top: …The two who moved here [linked bubble] I haven’t seen them much since then.
- Kanna-san is, well… I’ve been avoiding her. - And Touma-san is kinda scary [linked bubble] …I guess…it’s no big deal.
- No big deal…
- [smaller text] After the bell [normal text] …10 minutes passed… - …What is that woman doing?
p061----- - Terribly sorry I’m late!!
- Good afternoon [linked bubble] So sorry! - I’m Oosaka, I’ll be teaching you for an hour only. [linked bubble] So sorry! - …She came from outside.
- Uh… Um… It’s okay [linked bubble] Please begin the lesson. - Ah…yes. Please be kind to me.
p062----- - Alright [linked bubble] I’ll take attendance! Text on book: Attendance roster - There’s 5 students. Just count.
- …I want to remember your names and faces… [smaller text] if possible… - Sorry about that please continue.
- Nakatsugawa Hazuki-san. - Here. - Wakabayashi Yumi-san. - Here. - I’m not getting fooled by her again.
- No matter what nice things she may say about Iron Bamboo, I won’t be duped!! Text above bubble: And she was late!! - What will Oosaka-sensei teach us?
- Pachi
- Pachi Text on poster: Abo
- Abo?
p063----- Poster text: About Space - About Space!
- ……Why Space? - You’re not interested!?
- Not interested at all!
p064----- - I see [linked bubble] ……then… - But I like… this topic… umm… [linked bubble] As things stand… It’s something I know a lot… about… I’m sure it will be interesting… Text in front of Haru: Koutarou…
- Back to the subject, I first developed an interest in Space when I was in kindergarten - because I was told mother was up in the sky.
- Let me first say that this is not a sensitive subject, so even if you don’t listen seriously it’s okay! [linked bubble] Father saw how troubled I was, so he…
p065----- - …Er [linked bubble] No… not so much... troubled [linked bubble] … troubling…? Text beside bubble: something like that
- Anyhow that acted as the catalyst for my interest in the sky. Book title: Mysteries of Celestial Bodies - I learned that Earth orbited around the Sun, how Venus orbits at a closer distance to it, and how Mercury’s orbit is even closer still.
- As well as those planets that orbit at a greater distance than Earth… [linked bubble] Mars - Jupiter - Saturn - Uranus - Neptune… - The atmosphere’s strong gravitational force… pulling in rocks from Space.
- I truly started to comprehend the vastness of Space, [linked bubble] and the attraction Space held for me kept growing. - When I was little I wanted to run even faster than light.
- If you ask why—
p066----- - So what does Takukou Developments have to do with Space? - Yumi-chan, you’re too loud. - Well… [linked bubble] If the talk goes back to Iron Bamboo Koutarou will get mad… - I can hear you.
- Um back to the subject… - Those who think of things like Space when they see stars… [linked bubble] raise your hands?
- …I… look for constellations. Text beside hair: hmm - …I……from time to time - …The heck!!
- …Why’re you so into this? Text on blackboard: 29th (Tue) - [smaller text] Because [normal text] The other day I read a book where a person from Europa makes an appearance… - Europa!
Linked bubble: …is the satellite of the biggest planet in the solar system. - That’s right!! - What is that!!
p067----- - This is Jupiter. - It’s just a ball you can find anywhere. - It’s a model for Jupiter!
Linked bubble: Please think of this as the Earth! - A marble. - This pretty much sums up the difference.
- First a ball [linked bubble] then a marble. Text beside thought bubble: Irk irk - What a childish way of explanation.
- Earth has an atmosphere, volcanoes and seas. Plus a lot of coincidences happened that allowed life to be created. You know this. [linked bubble] Stars and planets that have things like seas of water and volcanoes and an atmosphere are rare indeed. - But Europa… and also Mars have volcanoes, atmosphere and seas.
p068----- - Eh [linked bubble] So there really could be people living on Europa? - We don’t know that yet.
- Although man-made satellites are able to get to Mars, the planets that’s the next furthest from the Sun compared to Earth, [linked bubble] humans are only able to set foot on the Moon at the moment. [linked bubble] There is still a long way to go.
- Haruhiko is a dreamer. - Not at all!
- There are many people who follow the same thought as Haruhiko-kun and go on to further their ideas. [linked bubble] Anything is possible! - And when we receive the information gathered by our satellites…
- No, if people don’t look into it for real… [linked bubble] In any case the possibility is there.
p069----- - “Truly mesmerizing is the strength to put an end to loneliness”… [linked bubble] This is a phrase taken from a poem by my favorite author Tanikawa Shuntarou-san, in his book “20 Million Lightyears of Loneliness”. - Because we humans are lonesome beings, [linked bubble] we want to have friends from other planets also.
- … Floating alone in the darkness of a gigantic Space that is expanding every moment, we on Earth - are able to ponder the vastness of Space that takes who knows how many millions of lightyears to span,
- To see the stars in the night sky… [linked bubble] To be able to see the Sun which’s situated so far from us, - To be able to see with our eyes the light that was given off many thousands upon tens of thousands of years ago…
p070----- - …Oh I’m so sorry. - I got all heated up about it…
- …so…stars! [linked bubble] They are very far away and, just like the Sun, burn and give off light.
- Then there could be other planets like Earth out there? - Very possible!!
- They’re too far away so how are we supposed to know. - …You have a point, but… Text beside hand: It’s meaningless
- But they could be there. - Don’t you get excited thinking about it?
p071----- - Not really. - Koutarou, quit making that face.
- Excuse me…You were saying many lightyears… [linked bubble] What is it? - Oh right.
- One lightyear is the distance it takes for light to travel in a year. [linked bubble] Light travels around 300,000km per second [linked bubble] Which is around 7 and a half times Earth’s circumference. This is the speed of light. Text behind Koutarou’s head: You just had to put it there Text beside bubble: If Earth is here Text beside Kanna: Here would be the moon. - Light from the Earth can reach the Moon, Venus and Mars in one second, but there are lots of places it cannot get to in a second.
- Mars would be about here, in this passage. - Pretty far away, isn’t it?
- Light from the Sun takes around 8 minutes to reach Earth.
p072----- - If Earth is here, Text below bubble: I’ll demonstrate
- Uh, just a… - The rain…
- Ah!! What do you think you’re doing! Where did you get another ball!! - I borrowed it. - The Sun is 109 times the size of the Earth.
- I’ll show you the place [linked bubble] that the speed of light has to travel for 8 minutes to get to!
p073----- - The light we’re seeing together right now - was given off by the sun 8 minutes ago.
- Oh no… I asked a weird question, didn’t I… - Where is she going…
Linked bubble: But she looks like she’s enjoying herself.
p074----- - The Sun would be over he—re!! - Understand now—?
- Perfectly!
p075----- - What if you catch a cold, stupid?
- Thank you, Koutarou-kun. - … I just don’t want you catching a cold while teaching us.
- … How is it [linked bubble] you got here even faster than light? - Wha? - …Since you were little
- ……Because if we saw Earth from 1 lightyear away [linked bubble] we’d be able to see the Earth from a year back.
p076----- - From 10 lightyears away, 10 years back, [linked bubble] From 100 lightyears away, 100 years back…
p077----- - ……Space - Is a vast time machine!
p078----- - …So that means [linked bubble] if I look at Earth from 12 lightyears away, - I’d be able to see mom cradling the newborn me in her arms…
Text in box: When Kanna-san was little, did she want to Text in box: travel faster than light and look at Earth from over there? - Well then, Jupiter [linked bubble] is about 15 minutes from here… - Get back to the classroom!!
- I’ll give this Jupiter to the person who takes around 15 minutes to walk home!! Text beside bubble: If you like— Text beside arrow: Compromised Koutarou: Hazuki… Hazuki: Oh [linked bubble] Okay.
p079----- - Stuff like the Sun from the Earth, [linked bubble] “About here would be right?” Should I think that while returning home? - Sounds good. - Exactly— Text in box: Why did it have to rain today? [linked box] This way we can’t see the starry sky.
Text in box: … kidding. Shop sign: Kiba Bar
- It’s so boring… - …dad is late… - Maybe out somewhere with the shopkeeper…
- Space…
p080----- Text in box: … I wonder when [linked bubble] I started getting excited - It was interesting. - Next time we’ll play with this Jupiter ball— - Koutarou? Text in box: at Kanna-san’s words…
- ……I despise getting excited.
- As if implying the situation with Iron Bamboo is insignificant - … I despise it.
p081----- - Gyaaaaa!?
- ……er - ……oh
- Touma-san… Book title: cular Notice
p082----- - … Circular Notice - Whwhwhwh… why now… - The adults are all in a meeting… Book title spine: Friday the Book title: the 18th [pun on Friday the 13th?] Linked bubble: …Aah…Was that in an announcement?
- Getting lost [linked bubble] …with strong winds and rain all at once… - …Eh~~~ - By the way, [linked bubble] …Is this Miyanaka-san’s residence?
- … Miyanaka-san’s residence - Is a shop? - …No, actually [linked bubble] this place belongs to Kiba.
p083----- - Again…!
- …Isn’t this big thing [linked bubble] the Jupiter that Hazuki received? - It’s flown over here. - Koutarou
Linked bubble: It’s dangerous to have all sorts of things flying over here. [linked bubble] Shall I close the rain shutters? - Uh… yeah.
Text on Haruhiko: “Pi” Text cutting into two panels: “Hello” - “Zawa” [linked bubble] “Za—” - “Geko-geko-geko”
- Here’s to commemorate Jupiter~~
- ......wha...
p086----- - What is that!!!
- …What is that woman…
- What’s she thinking giving such a thing to Hazuki…!!
p087----- - “Pi-ko”
- “Pi” - “What is that”…
- I don’t get it… - What did that woman come here to do…
- …Calm down Koutarou. - Why’re you telling me to calm down!? - …Because you’re too worked up…
p088----- - That wasn’t Kanna-san’s Jupiter.
- …Really? - Really. [linked bubble] That one only had one line. - …Then what…? - Dunno.
- ……I - ……see.
- The rain - …stopped.
p089----- - Here. - Towel fee. - …Ah Text beside bubble: That towel was merchandise…
- Pl… please take care.
- He doesn’t seem to have an umbrella… - Ah [linked bubble] the wind’s stopped too. Text beside bubble: I should return home soon.
- Eh? The Jupiter ball I got from Kanna-san?
p090----- - I was given it with a purpose so [text in linked box] I put it on the altar. - …Oh [linked box] I see. - Why? - Nothing.
- Oh I get it! [linked bubble] Kou-chan wants the Jupiter ball. - Don’t call me Kou-chan, stupid!
- That’s not it at all. - Stupid…who’s stupid here!
- …Hazuki, [linked bubble] what do you think of Kanna-san?
- What do I… - …think?
p091----- Linked bubble: only that you don’t like her very much.
- Well then, this is a secret.
- ……hm
- …hn—… - Hello? You still there?
Text in egg bubble: I came here to look for shooting stars! - Kou-chan?
p092----- - Hello— - Man— That woman is full of mysteries! - I don’t understand her one bit!!
Shop sign: ba Bar [Ki of Kiba is cut off] - No helping it. I have to investigate this myself!! - …investigate… what are you… - What is that…https://mangahelpers.com/t/jinhea/releases/29244[English] [Translation] Rosetta Kara no Shoutaijou 1 by JinHea2011-04-14T21:45:13+00:00JinHeaadmin@mangahelpers.comOnly for use by Lazy Ass Scans

- See this beautiful Mother Nature, - How wonderful if we can open shop in a place like this!
- A cafe would be good, - they have sparkling clean water here.
- And the coffee made using water that gushes from this mountain is…
- Super yummy!
- Thank you, Master! Small echoes trailing off: ter—! ter—!

p003----- - Shooting stars that enter the earth’s atmosphere and give off light, - shooting stars from outer space, - welcome!
- Welcome to earth!
- Ah!
- A shooting star!
p005----- Text in box: I won’t forgive dad, Text in box: because he spoke of things that could only be lies. - Koutarou— [linked bubble] Hurry up, let’s go home! - Chapter 1 Welcome
p006----- - Kou-chan! Haru-chan!
- It’s Hazuki-chan and them. - Byebye! See you later! - Byebye!
- Cat got Kou-chan’s tongue? - Geez! How annoying! [linked bubble] Don’t tack -chan onto my name, stupid!!
- ! [linked bubble] I’m not stupid! - Koutarou is Kou-chan!!
p007----- - Geez~~! His attitudes even worse than before~~!! - What on earth happened… - It’s probably because of “that”.
- What will Koutarou do… - …Don’t ask when you know the answer!
- …Hn [linked bubble] So they’re really building the power station. - Dammit! - Building something like that… Text in box: In this village where stars can often be seen twinkling brightly, a power station will be erected Linked bubble: and it looks like the residents have a year at most to move elsewhere.
p008----- Text in box: A lot of people are opposed to this plan, Linked box: but one day oddly shaped iron pylons were placed around the village. Text in box: Those pylons which we lightheartedly called “Iron Bamboo” Linked box: seem like they’re going to swallow this village up.
- …But, [linked bubble] The only junior high school is located in the city… and we’re already in 5th grade… - It’s quite good timing don’t you think?
p009----- - Wha… What did you do that for! - Idiot!!
- When we go to Junior High, to High School, to University, work in the city, - Knowing this village won’t be here when we’re grown up, are you okay with that!?
p010----- - …That said, Koutarou, you’re going to take over your father’s vocation… - Oh that - … I said I’d think about it.
- I’m seriously looking at the future
Text in box: Even from the classroom window it can be seen, conspicuously extending overhead. Linked box: That thing will swallow up Text in box: the village in which we were born and raised. - I won’t allow it!
- Haruhiko - Take your pick. - Huh?
- I brought all the tools(?) I could find in my house. - Let’s go bust up that Iron Bamboo!
p011----- Text behind Haru: Lethal weapons… - …Wow - Eh?
- You pulled something similar just the other day! Don’t you learn!? Text below bubble on arm: It’s dangerous! - It’s different this time! I’ll scope out another Iron Bamboo… [smaller text] The other day was… Text below bubble above arm: Hey!! - So you don’t kill someone, these are CONFISCATED!!
- I’m not killing anyone! You read so much weird books they’re giving you odd ideas, bookworm Haruhiko! [linked bubble] Give it back!! - As if I will! [linked bubble] Anyway we have to get to the bus stop quickly today!
Linked bubble: Bus stop… - …Ah
p012----- Text in box: Right, that topic Linked box: was the talk of the school today.
- They said the person who moved into that empty house is coming! [linked bubble] Wonder what kind of person they are? - I heard they’re foreign? - A man? A woman? Text in box: We were charged with welcoming the person who’s moving here.
Box: It’s quite rare for someone to move here, so we’re specially welcoming them. Linked box: But why are they coming at such a time? - It’s probably a middle aged man tired of life in the city…
- Are you listening? - I probably shouldn’t say this, but I keep thinking about how to destroy that Iron Bamboo. - …You really have a one track mind, Koutarou.
p013----- - The village head asked us to do this, but you’re not taking it seriously at all huh. Text on plaque beside Haru: Welcome Tsuka Text on plaque beside Koutarou: To - By the way, [linked bubble] How’s this pronounced…
- There’s something I’ve been thinking about ever since I heard someone was moving here. [linked bubble] Will you hear me out?
- What is it?
p014----- - What if - They’re moving here to spy on us for the Iron Bamboo?
- That’s why apart from us there are no one else around, [linked bubble] moreover picking this time to move here is suspicious in itself. - Moving here to survey the region, checking if it really is a suitable place to harness natural energy for electricity production… and stuff.
p015----- - Just kidding! No way! - Oh, the bus is here Koutarou.
- To think there’s such deep meaning behind this task we were coincidentally asked to do… - How should I face them… - Don’t be so serious.
- If it’s really like you said… - No way! Not possible. - Probably. Text beside hair: Hold it up like this right? Text on Kou’s plaque: Welcome! To Shiiba. Oosaki Kanna Text on Haru’s plaque: Welcome! To Shiiba. Tsuka Touma.
- Probably.
p016----- - ……Oh! - My name…!
- Eh.
p017----- - You’re here to welcome us?
- Thank you very much!
- We’ll be under the care of this village from today. - Ah, nice to meet you. - Um, using polite language is fine… [smaller text] but Text in screentone bubble: What is this, she’s a completely normal person…!
p018----- - We worried over nothing…! - I’m Koutarou! - I [linked bubble] I’m… Haruhiko!!
- I am Oosaki Kanna. - Tsuka... - Waaaaaaaah!!?
p019----- - Tsuka Touma. - Nice to meet you.
- ……Nice to…… - Why the glare!? - Meet you too…
- Very nice to meet you. - … - Ah… another person. - I’m a little relieved.
- This person doesn’t seem like a spy…
p020----- - This place is lovely.
- The heat is refreshing [linked bubble] The trees dotting the landscape are pretty. - And the shade they cast is pleasantly cool.
- I love all this! - She looks happy just taking a picture… - …that’s great.
p021----- - …I also
- feel overwhelmed by the natural beauty of this village… - …So - So why are you glaring…?
- It’s really scary!
p022----- - That’s my home? [linked bubble] So cute!! Text beside hair: Cute?
- Kanna-san, you haven’t seen your house before? - I couldn’t. - Someone else looked it over for me…
- But thank goodness. - It’s lovely! [linked bubble] I’m really pumped up now!
p023----- - Call on us if there’s anything you need! - Thank you! Koutarou-kun. Haruhiko-kun.
- And this is Tsuka-san’s home.
- Um…
- Scary~~~
p24----- Text above head: Hurry back - We… Well then - If… if there’s anything you need… [linked bubble] someone will…
- …the wind.
p025----- - Sigh~~~
- And I had weapons too. [linked bubble] But when the time came I couldn’t move… - Those tools? - Don’t walk around with them anymore. It’s not like you’re a carpenter or anything.
- Then how am I supposed to chase away that Iron Bamboo guy~~ - You’re going on about that again? [linked bubble] It’s true that Touma-san is really suspicious, but
- Going on and on about the Iron Bamboo, [linked bubble] are you intending to write about the Iron Bamboo for your summer break essay? Text above head: Being so persistent about it.
- If it’s that bad then write about something else. - …What are you writing about, Haruhiko? Text beside bubble: Wind - A book review. Text beside shoulder: You’re getting a seven three hair part.
p026----- - I’m [linked bubble] not gonna read a book— - What about memories from this summer? [linked bubble] You have some right?
- …Saw a shooting star. - Yeah. - And then those two people moved here. - Yeah.
- Iron Bamboo is a hindrance… - Yeah.
- …You’re gonna write that?
p027----- - But, [linked bubble] Mom will definitely think that - Iron Bamboo is a hindrance.
- …You might be right. [linked bubble] It’d be awful for her to find the village gone when she comes back at Obon.
- When I was still little, what happened with aunty… I don’t pretend to know a great deal about it.
p028----- - If more young adults like Kanna-san and them come to this village and defend it… - The power station plan might be stopped.
Linked bubble: Thing is right now this village doesn’t have any such people.
- …First thing we have to do [linked bubble] is to get Kanna-san on our side, otherwise nothing can be done.
- Good afternoon11 - Waaaah!!
p029----- - …Kanna-san!? - So - Something up? - Um. - I came by the village head’s place to discuss something. [linked bubble] Is he in?
- Village head… you mean dad? [linked bubble] can I help? Though I can’t with the more official enquiries… - Since village head is mostly just a formality anyway. - I was thinking if I could see a map or something…
- It’s no big deal, [linked bubble] I’ll just take a walk and scope things out. - Sorry about that, and thanks—
- Kanna-san [linked bubble] Koutarou…
Linked thought bubble: Just a! I haven’t thought of anything yet!
p030----- - I was just going to say “Koutarou will show you around”… - …sorry - …It’s okay.
- I have a bandaid! [linked bubble] Need it? - Oh [linked bubble] No need… [smaller text] since it’s the head…
- I’m so sorry. You didn’t have to accompany me. I could’ve waited until nightfall… Koutarou: No. If we made you wait we’d’ve been punished. - Why until nightfall? - Because they said that’s when the welcoming party will be held.
- A welcoming party is just a drinking party for adults. Text beside bubble: Nothing to do with us kids. - I see. - We’re happy you’re relying on us.
Linked bubble: Ah! Where do you want to go? - Please tell us.
Linked bubble: Somewhere where I can see everything, - a place like that.
p031----- - Somewhere where you can see everything— - Oh! I got it. [linked bubble] How about there?
- There… but adults are no good… - …yeah guess so - What is it? Is it that difficult to get to?
- Now I want to go there even more! Can I? - Whoa! Just the words I wanted to hear!!
Text in box: People around Kanna-san’s age are an uncommon sight in this village. Linked box: With only an elementary school in this village, those of junior high age and upwards move to the city where there are more people. Text in box: How should I say this… Someone like Kann-san really is rare. Thought bubble: Take in this rare sight.
p032----- - This is the entrance? Text beside Kanna: Wow— - Yup. - Can I enter?
- …That’s right. [linked bubble] If we can talk about this village and its inhabitants…
- Not talking about it will make us the same as those adults who consent to what the Iron Bamboo’s doing!
- Stare
Haru: You okay? Kanna: Never better—
p033----- - Hm…? - …beep
- Wh…what the? - What’s that sound!? - It - It’s [linked bubble] resonating!!
- That!? The thing on your arm!? - Why all of a sudden!? - Hold on a sec [linked bubble] Um… er…
- The sound’s even louder!! - Hold on, hold on. - Beep
p034----- - …Kanna-san - What is that?
p35----- Linked bubble: Hello!
- Hello! - Welcome!
- It’s lighting up…
p036----- - …What was that just now? - Weasel? Cat? [linked bubble] …Bird?
- Wait!!
p037----- - Ah!! Kanna-san! - Not that way!
Linked bubble: I’m telling you [linked bubble] Stop right there!! - It’s dangerous!
- —Huh - Slip
p038----- - Are you alright!?
- I thought I told you to stop [linked bubble] …stupid! - …I [linked bubble] fell…?
- It’s dangerous to run around in the mountains! - You’ll die.
- …This is [linked bubble] a shooting star detector. - Shooting star?
- Then that thing we saw was a shooting star!? - [smaller text] yeah [normal text] …I’m not sure [linked bubble] That’s actually the first time it resonated. Text behind Kanna: Though I did set it to detection mode.
p039----- - Father made this. - …Whether it really can detect shooting stars is a mystery…
- Sorry [linked bubble] I didn’t listen to you and fell… - It’s kinda…
- …Sniff - Eh! Tears… - We… we’re not mad! [linked bubble] We’re not mad or anything!!
- It’s okay. [linked bubble] Even if you don’t find a shooting star. - This village is proud of its star studded sky.
- And, - The sunset seen from here is another point of pride.
p041----- - Welcome [linked bubble] to our village!!
p042----- - Oh… a place where I can see everything… - Exactly! - Destination! [linked bubble] reached!
- How to phrase this, saying welcome only now… - We’ve accepted you.
- Kanna-san, what do you think?
p043----- - It’s lovely. - …Anyone who sees that light will probably agree.
- Do you know of lightspeed? - The speed of light? [linked bubble] That can circle the earth 7 and a half times in 1 second? - Yes.
- The light of the sun takes around 8 minutes to reach the earth. - Wow— [linked bubble] So far away. Thought bubble: 7 and a half times X 60 (sec) X 8 (min) Text below thought bubble: Umm
- It popped into my head for some reason [linked bubble] …haha - The light we’re seeing together right now was given off by the sun 8 minutes ago. - I can almost touch it… - Wow… it looks like it won’t ever set!
p044----- - Even though we only met today, [linked bubble] I’m really thankful - That… I got to know Koutarou-kun and Haruhiko-kun.
p045----- - Which words made a deep impression on me just now? - How the sunset is lovely? - The speed of light? - The distance from the sun?
- No. ¬- Happiness that we met. - Those words.
Linked bubble: From today on, - Squeeze…
p046----- - Kanna-san is a member of this village. - And because you’re our friend. [linked bubble] You can rely on us for anything.
- …Since we’ll be close by.
- Thank you.
p047----- - … Well then, [linked bubble] this is a secret. - I… came here to look for shooting stars!
- It’s dangerous to be out and about after dark! [linked bubble] You guys are so~~~!!
p049----- - I went to get you but there was no one there! - We were about to begin. - Just had to wait for one more person— - I’m sorry. - It’s fine! Stop apologising and come in!
- U—m, you’re Oosaki-san? - Yes! [linked bubble] I am Oosaki Kanna.
- …We totally forgot about the welcoming party… - Now… - You two should get back home! - Everyone, this is Oosaki-san from Takukou Developments. - Umm… Let me introduce myself.
p050----- - My name is Oosaki. - To reiterate, [linked bubble] I have been sent here for the purpose of investigating whether this village is really suitable for the building of the power station.
- This is a major project we have undertaken, which from now on will greatly impact everyone, [linked bubble] We hope to have your support.
p051----- - To look for - shooting stars—
- Huff - Huff - Huff
- Koutarou…
- ……Haruhiko [linked bubble] ……what…did I do? - What did you do… You called Kanna-san a “traitor” to her face [linked bubble] and ran all the way here… - …That’s right.
