Rabbit: Oryaa! Bring out the cash!

[p002]
(bottom): King Kid Furudate Haruichi
[p003]
Box: His name is Kid. Box: He calls himself "the king of this town." Crowd: A robbery. Box: However, since a normal "town" wouldn't have a "king", Box: just like in the rest of the world, the highest position is the mayor. Crowd: They said it's a robbery.
Box: But the town is completely Kid's turf. Rabbit: What was that, you bastaaaard. Kid: Kekeke~ Kid: A burgling rabbit. Box: He will absolutely never damage it.
Rabbit: Outta my way, you midget!!! sfx bubble: Swoosh
[p004]
Kid: Divine punishment!!!
Box: With his physical prowess, Robber: Kahaa...
(right, near man) There's a robber, but, more importantly, Kid appeared! (right, near woman) How scary. Box: Kid is well-loved by the townspeople. Kid: Saying "midget" is Kid: Forbidden.☆ Man: That's enough... (coming from robber's mouth) Waaaaaaah (above second man) Stoooop! (above third man) Wah! (left, near woman) Eeeek!
[p005]
(right, near girl) Yay, Kid~ Box: The incredibly strong King Kid Kid: Tch. Box: is also really popular with children. (left, near boy) It's Kid!!
Boy: Yaaay Boy: Ya- Box: But Kid has a bad personality, so
Kid: Use some honorifics when you say my name, dammit. (above eggs, arrow) Eggs Box: if you get involved with him when he's in a bad mood, he's a really nasty guy.
???: Kid-saaan!! ???: Hey, Kid-san!!
[p006]
Girl: Adventure! Girl: I've got info on an adventure! Kid: Tch.
Box: "Lily." Box: Kid's number 1 follower.
[p007]
Kid: Why are you (left of Lily) Wh-what... Kid: Always, Kid: Always,
Kid: TALLER THAN ME. (right, under Lily's height): (+ heels) Box: Lily has a casual way of speaking and is a self-proclaimed "beauty." Lily: Ehhh?! Lily: Th-that's God's doing. Box: Kid is lazy, so she gathers information in his stead.
Kid: God, you say?! Like such a thing exists, you idiot. Lily: A-anyway, I've got "news"! C'mon, listen up!
Lily: Today's is a real scoop!! Lily: It's a story about a "secret phantom medicine"!!
[p008]
Box: Once every thousand years, a "sky snake" is said to appear. Box: Its scales can cure all kinds of illness,
Box: and eating them can restore a person's vitality. (label) Sky snake's scales
Lily: And, it looks like this year's that one-in-a-thousand! Kid: Don't look down on me.
Lily: But the real pain is that Mayor Cinnamon (Lily): has got that sky snake in his sights...
[p009]
Kid: Heh. Cinnamon, huh... Kid: Even though he's the mayor, he's the biggest villain in town.
Kid: Alright, I'll get 2 or 30 or whatever scales from that sky snake guy. (above Lily) Yeah!
Kid: And then I'll pawn them off to the rich. Box: Kid isn't anything like a protagonist at all, as he's very greedy.
???: [ And so, Kid and Lily departed in search of the "sky snake". ] ???: [ Their first obstacle ] was... hmm, what should it be? ???: ...I know!
???: [ a worn-out suspension bridge that looked as if it would fall at any moment ] ...

Box: Climbing the cliff was a near-impossible feat.
Box: His arms and legs were in pain, Kid: Ow... Box: and on top of that, he hadn't had any breakfast,
Box: so Kid Kid: Augh, geez. I might just up and die here. Box: thought along those lines.
Box: But King Kid is a gentleman, so sfx bubble: Scrabble Cin: Tch. Lily: Eep! Cin: What a stubborn girl. Box: when a girl is in trouble,
