Deathtopia - [Chapter 8 - The Meaning of Ability]
P01 Chapter 8 - The Meaning of Ability Insert in white: Great sales! Vol.1 is on sale with rave reviews!! Insert: In the end, girls are girls after all (heart) An official Twitter has been started! @deathtopia_moe
P02 Plate: Special Crimes Investigations Division 6
Saki: Jeez, that old man Kokonoe is late! How long does he plan on making us wait after telling us to come here.
Koh: …Her punches sure are awesome. Did Ms Saki do boxing or something before? Maya: Yes, she did. Koh: Eh?
Maya: I heard she even managed to come victorious in the Nationals during her high school days And that she was a certified athlete for the Olympics.
P03 Koh: Really? Awesome! It doesn't seem like she’s lost her touch at all! Maya: Of course she hasn’t, I’m talking of something that happened 2 years ago. She’s 19 years old, you know.
Koh: 1-19…? Koh thinking: She’s the same age as me! Why the heck does she keep calling me brat for then…
Koh: …By the way, what is Ms Yui doing? Maya: It’s as you can see, she’s studying. Today, she’s doing mathematics.
Koh: Mathematics? Maya: That’s right, other subjects include Japanese, Room Economics and English… It seems she can’t settle down if she doesn’t study like she’s doing now when she has free time.
Maya: But well, it can’t really be helped since she’s only 17 years after all. Koh: 17…?! H-Hang on, she’s not going to high school?
Maya: Obviously… She stopped going. Anyway, you really shouldn’t pry too much into what each of us were doing before this job, we all have our own circumstances after all…
P04 Koh: Erm… Can I ask you one more thing? Maya: Sure?
Koh: Ms Maya, How old are you?
Maya: … It’s a se-cr-et.
Koh thinking: …I guess that means she’s older than me then…
Koh thinking: Come to think of it, they told me they entered the police force after being scouted But, that aside, I really don’t know anything else about these girls, do I…?
P05 Maya: Alright, I’m done!
Maya: How is it? I tried drawing these after listening to what you told me… Koh: It’s awesome! They’re the spitting images of what I saw!
Koh: You sure are good at drawing! Maya: Heh Heh, thank you. I took some classes in the past.
Maya: …Anyway, it’s pretty weird. Why is it only you that can see these things And we can’t…?
Maya: You know what? I heard from Division Chief Kokonoe That the culprits behind that hit-and-run incident you were a part of and that elderly woman you helped… they disappeared without a trace.
Koh: Eh…? Maya: My point is that… it’s just like your incident never happened.
P06 Maya : It looks like even Division Chief Kokonoe is looking into those events… And well, we’re quite interested too In that unidentified ability only you have among us…
P07 Kokonoe: Girls, are all 3 of you here?
Maya: We are. Saki: You’re late old man! Yui: What is the matter? You said you had something to tell us and called an emergency meeting…
Saki: Hey, brat. Anything we’ll talk about now is secret. Go sit elsewhere.
Koh: Ah, yes. I’ll wait outside then.
Kokonoe: No, it’s alright. You can stay, Fujimura. Koh: Eh? Saki: Tell us why, old man! He’s only an outsider we're monitoring, isn’t he? Yui: She’s right! This is a violation of the regulations.
P08 Kokonoe: Whatever, I’m giving him permission using my power as the person in charge.
Kokonoe: You’ve heard of this case, right? SFX: BEEP
TV: This is where the corpse was discovered: A backstreet in Ginza, Tokyo.
TV: Here is how the corpse of the victim Ms Suzuki was when it was discovered: She’d had the skin of her face peeled off and had been made to wear a dress Before being placed in a seating position, her back against the wall…
TV: This totally unprecedented crime is making the residents of the neighborhood spend sleepless nights. Thank you very much for this coverage, Ms Mochizuki. Well, what dis your opinion on this case, Ms Sonoyama…? Screen: Victim - Miss Ryoh Suzuki
P09 Sonoyama: The culprit’s actions are unforgivable. Plate: Director of the Misono Beauty Clinic - Yurie Sonoyama. Sonoyama: To women, beauty is akin to their life: it’s priceless.
Sonoyama: Yet, the way he took that girl’s face before killing her Shows his act was made as a challenge to all women.
Yui: That’s what the medias have been fussing about since yesterday, isn’t it? They even named it “Beautiful office lady from Ginza dies an unnatural and violent death”.
Yui: Yesterday, during the night, the corpse of a woman was found near Ginza’s shopping district. The victim, 21-year-old Ryoh Suzuki Had gone missing 2 weeks prior, thus leading her family to request the Police to search for her.
Yui: However, when she was found, it was as a corpse… Which had the skin of its face peeled off and had been made to wear a dress. Because of these factors, the police forces investigating the case believe a deviant did this…
Yui: Mr Division Chief, is this the work of a cheater? Kokonoe: It is.
Kokonoe: It still hasn’t been made public But, crimes displaying the same modus operandi have happened a few times these past two months. Take a look at these pictures.
P10 Koh: Ugh… Koh thinking: Disgusting… Saki: C’mon, don’t show us gore photos out of the blue, old man!
Koh: …But, is this really the work of a cheater? Sorry for how I say it But, even regular people can peel off the skin of someone else’s face…
Kokonoe: Yeah, at first it was believed some sort of edged tool was used to do this. However, the trick behind how this is done was grasped along with the growing number of corpses. This time around, the way the skin is peeled off is abnormal.
Koh: What do you mean by that? Kokonoe: Let’s see, according to the forensics, here is how it goes.
Koh: Wait… What are you… Kokonoe: The culprit… Koh: Guh…!
P11 Kokonoe: Used his bare hands to tear of the skin, just like this! Koh: Gaargh!
Kokonoe: Men in their 20’s have 45kg strong average grip… And doing something would require having a grip higher than 450kg… 10 times the first value.
Kokonoe: We have three criteria to recognise the acts of cheaters.
Kokonoe: First: there are more than three murders; Second: the way of killing is abnormal;
Kokonoe: And third: An act which is unfeasible for humans…
P12 Kokonoe: All three criteria match, so the culprit this time around is a cheater. The code name we’ll use for him will be “FACE”. Now, for the results of what was investigated.
Kokonoe: This is the list of suspects I was left in charge with by the guys from the First Section.
Maya: …So the culprit is a man, eh? Yui: That must mean the First Section believes the culprit has a grudge against girls because of how cruelly he kills them. Kokonoe: Exactly, the investigation focused on people that committed sex crimes. Well, this’ll be either be a hit or a miss I guess.
Kokonoe: A cheater might be among them So give your best on the mission.
Yui: Understood, sir!
P13 Kokonoe: Also, here is a list of the victims.
Saki: Woah! All of them are babes! Yui: So this is the work of an ugly man resenting beautiful women…? How spiteful…
Maya: Incidentally, Mr Division Chief. What will become of Fujimura’s surveillance during our investigation…?
Kokonoe: I’ll have you continue doing it. Maya: Eh?
Kokonoe: Koh Fujimura is now part of this investigation team.
Saki: W-What?! Yui: You mean we are to team up with a novice like him…?!
Maya: …I see, that’s what it’s been about all along, hasn’t it…?
P14 Maya: You had him take training on how to handle a gun and let him hear what we talked about now even though he’s under surveillance Because from the very beginning, you planned to have him take part in investigations, am I right…?
Kokonoe: Does that dissatisfy you, Hoshimiya? Well then, how about you give it some thought?
kokonoe: You understood from that previous case That his ability enables him to grasp the people who are cheaters and nothing else, right?
Koh: E-Erm… I can’t possible take part in the investigations, sir…
P15 Koh: I don’t even know how to properly investigate…
Kokonoe: I did lots of research in concerns to your ability, and you know… Koh: Eh?
Kokonoe: …You sure you’re not a cheater or anything?
Kokonoe: I mean, you being one would explain why you’re “able to see” them, right? You think so too don’t you? Koh: I-I don’t really… Kokonoe: …Sorry, I was joking. Don’t think ill of me.
P16 Kokomo : But, if you really believe you aren’t one then shouldn’t you use that power for mankind’s sake? You’ll even be able to save lives if you use your ability properly.
Kokonoe: You’re the only being that can see those people… Which means the key that can help you what your power is lies with them, doesn't it?
Saki: Hey! What are you doing, brat?! Let’s go! Koh: Y-Yes…
P17 SFX: *Rattle* Paper: Written Report on Koh Fujimura Fujimura… Truly… you’re deeply interesting…
P18 Koh thinking: You sure you’re not a cheater or anything? …Screw that…! That can’t be…
Saki: Hey! What are you spacing around for? Koh: I’m sorry! It’s nothing.
Koh: Erm… What will we do now? Saki: Let’s see… First off, we’ll be investigating the people on the list of suspects.
Koh: …If I remember well… the culprit only targets beautiful women, right…? Saki: Looks like it.
Koh: Then, all of you will have to be careful too. You’re all beautiful after all…
P19 Saki: Eh? Yui: Eh?
Saki: W-What’s with you, suddenly saying something like that? Yui: Hmph, we know at least that much.
Koh: Eh?
Yui: That was obviously one of the criteria used when we were scouted. After all, being beautiful makes the fact of getting information and of sneaking in easy… It’s useful in a lot of ways.
P20 I-Isn’t… The work modesty in her vocabulary or something…? SFX: *CLICK*
P21 No Text
P22 Girl: Mmmh! Mmmh!
FACE: …Alright, today it’ll be you. Girl: Eek!
Girl: N-Nooooo!! Heeeelp!!
P23 Face: Zip it!
Face: No matter how much you scream No one will save you. Girl: Nooooo…
Face: I’ll kill All young and beautiful women…
P24 Face: With my own hands.
Face: Heh Heh Heh Hah Hah Hah Hah! Insert: That one… means trouble…https://mangahelpers.com/t/vincedaled/releases/40717[English] [Translation] DEATHTOPIA 7 by vinceled2014-12-01T10:42:59+00:00vinceledadmin@mangahelpers.comDeathtopia by Yamada Yoshinobu

Deathtopia - [Chapter 7 - World Order]
P01 [Cover]
P02[color Page] Chapter Title: Chapter 7 - World Order
P03 ???: Hey, look at those two chicks. ???: They’ve gotta be models. ???: They look so hot. ???: Alright, stop there! ???: Hey there missies, wanna hang out with us?
P04 ???: Oof! ???: Gyaa!
Saki: Get lost! If you came here to for clamming then Dig the damn shellfishes!! ???: W-we’re really sorry!
Saki: Geez! Even though we’re finally off duty, what’s been happening since we came here?
Maya: …We should have switched places after all. Saki: Hm? Maya: I’m talking about coaching Fujimura on gun handling. We shouldn’t have left Yui in charge of it… Saki: It’s alright, isn’t it? These were Kokonoe’s orders after all.
P05 Maya: …That aside, don’t you think it’s pretty weird? Why does he need to learn how to handle guns when he’s under surveillance…?
Saki: …Now that you mention it. Insert: Wow, you caught a ton of clams! Saki: Surely, if we only wanted to survey him, we’d just have to throw him in jail, right? I wonder what the old man Kokonoe is thinking? Hm? What’s wrong Maya?
Maya: Saki… Why do you think he’s even “able to see” our enemies anyway…? Box : Shintako Training Facility
P06 Koh thinking: Shit! The recoil is so strong… That I can’t hit the target at all even though I’m aiming at it properly. This looks easy to do in dramas or animes…
Yui: You’re putting too much strength in your right hand. You have to the position of the gun with your left hand And you use your right hand only to pull the trigger, you know. Also, when you pull the trigger, you have to do it slowly.
P07 Yui: …Well, I guess you’ll just get better with time anyway. I guess it’d be too much to ask you to get it right on the first try, right? So I guess you’ll just have try over and over, then.
Koh thinking: …It seems she's in a bad mood… I-I’m sorry that you had to stay with me while the other two went off to play… Eh? I don’t mind at all, you know?
Yui: It’s not like I wanted to play or anything, you see? Not at all. And I totally didn’t wake up learning today because I was looking forward to this break I’d been waiting for a month,either, you know? I’m totally fine with not being able to play beach volley, you know? And don’t you know that I hate the sea anyway?
Koh thinking: T-That’s a lie… Is she hates the sea why is she wearing a swimsuit then? She’s totally flaunting her fineries, isn’t she…
P08 Yui: I really can’t understand. Even though I was told we’d finally be able to take a break after we’d solved that case with Kirishima…
Koh: Ah… Speaking of Kirishima… Can I ask you something, Ms Kisaragi?
Yui: Call me Yui. Everyone calls me that. Koh: Then, Ms Yui, Why did that case turn out like this?
Yui: Like this?
Koh: Don’t play dumb, please. I’m talking about this, look at this morning’s paper. Paper : Reckless driving, 6 people killed.
Koh: A young man’s reckless and drunken driving has once again Caused a collision between a station wagon and an automobile, thus causing the death of all the 6 men and women that were onboard the vehicules. Newspaper (near the bubble Koh’s talking): Mr Takashi Yamato Koh: Please tell me, what’s the meaning of this? Why was this case turned into a traffic incident?
P09 Yui: Ah, that’s right, All that really happened had to be concealed in order to hide that cheater’s criminal acts. Some tricks were used on the corpses and cars And because of that, this case was disposed of as a traffic incident. You see, as long as the corpses are somewhat damaged, then it’s possible to misrepresent things as a traffic incident. Even the people that cooperated in your abduction by Kirishima were apprehended, But, it looks like they don’t know much about all of this overall, so they’ll most likely be released soon. You might be dissatisfied about these things But, know that they are necessary to maintain order in the world.
P10 Yui: That even goes for that case where you witness the slaughter of that family. A news coverage still hasn’t been done but, the culprit has already been found So it will undoubtedly soon be announced on the news that he’s been arrested. Everything has been taken care of.
Koh: …You’re talking… about him, right…?
Yui: You were lucky, do you know that? You would have easily been killed if he had found you. He’s a cheater too after all. He’s better known under the following alias: “the Reaper”. His instantaneous muscular strength which is far greater than ordinary men makes him quite proficient at handling knives, And his modus operandi is to use his speed to instantly get close to his victims before cutting their throats.
P11 Yui: He took pleasure in murdering people at the places he went to on trips Making no less than 18 victims all over the country. Also he also managed to not show the cloven hoof because he leaves almost no evidence at the scenes of his killings. You did great in helping to arrest him.
Koh: Seriously, what was his problem…? He was eating cup ramen… right beside the corpses of the people he’d killed… That’s way too abnormal…
Yui: …It is. But that’s also precisely why this would cause a great uproar in our society if his background came out in the open.
Koh: His background…?
P12 Yui: He was an elementary school Teacher, you see.
Koh: Eh?
Yui: It’s a really gruesome tale. He was ordinarily pretty popular with children and their guardians also deeply trusted him. It seems he was a pretty passionate teacher. And yet, on the underside of all this, he enjoyed killing people And was a psychopathic killer.
P13 Yui: I still don’t know how it’ll be announced but since there are also a large number of victims, this would look like several people framing him, wouldn’t it? I’m glad you didn’t end up being a part of their ring. Come on, keep on training! We will have to face those terrifying people after all. You need to at least be able to fire correctly.
Koh: Y-Yes!
Yui thinking: In fact, you might actually be the truly terrifying one… Considering that the most troublesome is that those people have the same appearance as humans and yet, in spite of that we still have to fight them; And this is also why humans like us who can supposedly “find them out” are being assembled. Yet, you “can see” them? Just what are you really…
P14 You thinking: …However, even that ability should be a menace to cheaters. Did Kirishima attack him being fully aware of this fact…? No, that can’t be…
Koh: Ah! Yui: Eh?
Koh: P-Please, look at this Ms Yui! Yui: Eh…?
P15 Kokonoe: How is it going with that case I told you about? Did you find out anything? Plate: Special Crimes Investigation Division 6 Kokonoe: Yeah, that case about Koh Fujimura. That’s right.
Detective: Well you see, about that, that sure is a really weird case, Like that hit-and-run accident he was victim of and that lead to his hospitalisation…
Kokonoe: Weird? How so?
Detective: Let’s see… the fact that in spite of there being a large number of witnesses at the scene, the culprit still hasn’t been arrested… And, it doesn’t stop at that.
Kokonoe: What more is there to it then?
Detective: You know that hit-and-run incident originated from a purse snatching, right? The problem is that the victim of that purse snatching… We know she’s an elderly woman, but both the address and even the name written in her record: they’re fake.
P16 Kokonoe: What? What the heck is the meaning of this?
Detective: I can’t make heads or tails of all this either. In short, the culprit of that case… As well as its victim, that elderly woman… All the people involved in that case, it’s like they don’t even exist.
Kokonoe: Now, that sure is a pretty weird story alright… Kokonoe thinking: …For some reason, even his examination results never reached me… Is some kind of power at work here…?
Kokonoe: Akatsuki, I need you to do something for me. Can you investigate about Koh Fujimura for me? Akatsuki: Eh? I heard this was already investigated by your station, wasn’t it, Mister…? Kokonoe: Some fact have probably been overlooked so I want you to investigate even further. Akatsuki: I get your point but I really can’t do it! I already have my hands full with other things…
Kokonoe: You sure about that? Then, I guess you won’t mind if I tell your wife Your first sexual experience was with a 42 year old married wife that was prostituting herself, then…?
Akatsuki: C-C’mon, anything but that…! F-Fine! What do you want me to do?
P17 Kokonoe: I want everything: Get me everything from Fujimura’s birth, his family make-up and even the past of his parents and his sibling. Dredged them up all once again!
P18 Box: QVC Marin Field
Maya: Are you still sulking, Yui? It’s a good thing that Fujimura has made progress in his shooting, isn’t it?
Yui: …It is, but I must have fired at least 100 times before I managed to hit the target…
Koh: Woah, the food here is delicious! I didn’t really know what to think when you told me we were going to eat at a baseball stadium though…
Saki: I know, right? The stewed giblets they serve here are awesome!
P19 Saki: Since I originally come from Kyushu, I’m a fan of the Hawks, you see. I come here once in a while. Well, today’s an interleague game by the way.
Koh thinking: …Baseball, eh…? Come to think of it, I remember Hinata telling me she found someone in the Lotte pretty awesome… I bet she’s gotta be pretty worried. I should find a way to contact her after all…
Koh: Erm… I’m going to the toilets for a bit… Yui: Alright… Then, I will accompany you to make sure you don’y contact anyone.
Koh: W-What are you talking about? How could I even contact anyone when you’ve confiscated both my wallet and smartphone? Yui: You could just borrow a phone from one of the people here, couldn’t you? Do not forget you are under our surveillance, alright?
Koh thinking: …She totally figured what I had in mind…
Yui: You needn’t worry, we contacted your family and told them you were going on a trip with the friends from your university circle. Koh: Ah… I see… Thank you.
P20 Kid: Daddy!
Maya: …You can see it, right? Now that you mention it, I can faintly sense it too.
Koh: B-Before, when I saw it, “they” were a mother and her child. But then, does that mean even children like that are murderers…?
Maya: As expected, that’s probably not it, right? It appears that phenomenon called “atavism” is brought forth in a lot of people. In other words, this doesn’t necessarily mean an “ability” will manifest in the people to whom this happens So you’ll obviously also be seeing those that won’t tend towards committing crimes.
Koh: Eh? T-Then, do you mean to tell me that those I see aren’t necessarily all murderers? Maya: That’s right.
Koh: W-What…? So that’s how it is…?
Maya: …Hey, can I ask you something? Koh: S-Sure, go ahead…
P21 Maya: You mentioned something like that before, didn’t you? You said: “Kirishima looks like an eyeball to me!”.
Koh: Eh? Yeah, I did… Maya: Well then, have you ever seen shapes other than that one?
Koh: If I’ve seen shapes other than that one… right? The only one I can think is “The Reaper”. It appeared to be a scythe… no, more like an edge tool…
Maya: In other words, For both of them, it took on the shape of what they are obsessed with…
P22 Maya: For instance, Kirishima held an abnormal obsession in eyeballs While the Reaper didn’t kill anyone other than with his knife. It appears you are able to see What they are obsessed with as a shape… “An ability that enables you to vision their power”… was it? It appears that what Division Chief Kokonoe said wasn’t really that far off the mark after all… However, I don't really understand all of his reasoning…
Fans: Gooo Goo, Uwooh wooh, DeNA Baystars Buuurniiing Stars!
P23 Koh thinking: The ability to vision their power…? How did I end up being able to see that thing anyway…?
Koh: Hm?
Koh thinking: This is…
Koh: …You told me I can see the shape of what they are obsessed with, right…? Well, it looks like this might really be it, after all.
Maya: Eh? I mean, look at that person…
Song: DeeeNA Baystaaars
P24 Song: Pursue Your dreaaams!! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
Saki: Eh? Can you see anything?
P25 ???: Hic That fucking vice-director… How dare he mess with me… I’m gonna kill you, bastard! Gwargh! Got a problem?!
P26 ???: U-U… Uwah… Uwaaaargh!! Insert: And here is the gun sound announcing the beginning. https://mangahelpers.com/t/vincedaled/releases/40527[English] [Translation] DEATHTOPIA 6 by vinceled2014-10-15T15:48:34+00:00vinceledadmin@mangahelpers.comDeathtopia by Yamada Yoshinobu

Deathtopia - [Chapter 6 - It’s a Beautiful World]
P01 Saki: We’ve arrived, let’s get off the car.
Insert: Is the place they’ve brought him to… possibly?! Chapter 6 - It’s a Beautiful World
P02 Yui: Over here, We’re entering through the back entrance.
Koh: …Is this place the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department? Yui: That’s right though that’s not all there is to it.
Yui: The Public Safety is also in this building.
Koh, thinking: …The Public Safety? If I remember well they’re special police forces that handle any terrorists threats… Is what they told me while I was accompanying them But then, where are they taking me off to…?
P03 Plate: Special Crimes Investigation Division 6 Koh, thinking: The Special Crimes Investigation Division 6…?
Yui: Wait here, We have to report on the Kirishima incident As well as explain things about you.
Koh thinking: They sure are taking a while… They’ve been in here for 15 minutes already… What the heck are they doing?
P04 Yui: Sorry for making you wait. It’s alright now, come on in.
Koh: Sorry for intruding.
P05 ??? : So you’re Fujimura? I’m this division’s chief… My name is Kokonoe.
Koh: Ah… Nice to meet you. I’m called Fujimura Koh.
Kokonoe: I apologize, even though I expressly made you come here this place’s a mess Which after all is understandable since this office got finished only last month, you see. Go on, sit. Koh: A-Alright.
Koh: …Erm… the truth is that I… Kokonoe: I know, they told me about you.
Kokonoe: They told me you can see “them”…Is that true? Koh: I-It is.
Kokonoe: Hm, even though I heard it from them directly I still have a hard time believing you. Koh: What? But, they’re the same as me, aren’t…
P06 Kokonoe: Not exactly. They’re only able to faintly feel “their” presence which in a sense is the same as having an ability to sense the supernatural, or something like that. Also, depending on the situation they’re in, this ability they have turns out to be completely useless.
Koh: I-Is that so?
Kokonoe: …Hm, I’ve never heard of something like it before; That someone would be able to see “those people”…
Koh: I-I, I came hear because I wanted to know more about “them”…
Kokonoe: I guess I can at the very least tell you that much.
Kokonoe: However, I’ll only let you know as far as I judge it necessary… Can I trust you not to tell anyone else about it?
Koh: Y-Yes…
P07 Kokonoe: Here, take a look at this.
Ugh…! Koh, thinking: How awful…
Kokonoe: Fujimura, tell me… Why do you think people kill people?
Kokonoe: You see, when the kill is made out of hatred or for money, while the crime in itself is digesting, the reasons behind it can be understood. However, the people shown here weren’t killed for that,
Kokonoe: But only so that the person who did this could enjoy herself. …Can you understand the heart of murderers like these?
P08 Koh: N-No, not at all…
Kokonoe: Obviously not. I’m the same as you on that regard… Still, how will you answer after you’ve been through to the end of what I’m about to tell you…? Koh: Eh?
Kokonoe: This guy here, called Howard Dunning Is a devilish homicide that murdered over 20 men and women throughout 3 states in America in 1990 and, Seeing as he was a really sly serial killer, he left no evidence on the scene of his killings.
Kokonoe: However, as a result of an analysis done on hairs he’d left behind at a crime scene and analyzed through means of a DNA expertise, the newest technology available in those days That man was successfully arrested after agreeing to the terms.
Kokonoe: …However, that’s not all there was to it…
Kokonoe: You see, according to that DNA expertise, The researchers found out that his nucleotide sequence strangely differed from that of a normal humans.
P09 Koh: H-How exactly different…? Kokonoe: Using his as a start, DNA expertise began to be made on various serial killers And, the results of these expertise were terrifying.
Kokonoe: Several people possessing the same nucleotide sequence as Dunning were discovered;
Kokonoe: But doubtful of these findings, the researchers started the expertise anew… Until they arrived at the single conclusion
Kokonoe: That a primitive factor Strongly turned up in their base sequence…
Kokonoe: Or, in other words, We can say that phenomenon was “atavism”.
Koh: A-atavism…? What the heck is this…?
P10 Kokonoe: You see throughout the process of evolution, humans have lost various abilities… Humans once possessed much more abilities.
Kokonoe: Let’s see, for example… I assume you’ve heard of the sea cucumber possessing a great regenerative ability, right? When predated upon, the sea cucumber retches up his internal organs then thaw to sludge But will restore its tissues in a few hours and be able to move once again.
Kokonoe: Or even the chimpanzee, which has a smaller body than that of humans’ Yet, possesses 4 times the strength of humans.
Kokonoe: My point is that “they” are beings that have manifested the genes That while they were once present in humans’ bodies now lie dormant. {note for proofreader: he means that the genes humans once had in their bodies but are now lying dormant in the bodies of humans; ‘those people’ are being that have manifested these genes}
Koh: So this is what… Cheaters are…!
Kokonoe: Indeed. “They” are human beings without being human beings
P11 Kokonoe: And possess strength that exceeds that of humans As well as horrifying brutality which is most likely due to their atavism.
Kokonoe: I don’t know how many of them there are in total But, several hundreds of people become victims to their actions every year And the number of these crimes increases every year…
Kokonoe: Not to mention that due to the development of networks in recent years They’ve now come to possess their own means of connections.
Kokonoe: …And well, in other words that thing you can see Is probably some kind of power of vision you received through atavism much like those people…
P12 Kokonoe: Tough, that only holds true if you really can do something like that…
Koh: W-Wait, even I don’t understand how I suddenly became able to see these things… I’m a normal human…!
Kokonoe: About that… Fujimura In bubble SFX : *TAP*
SFX: *CRACK* Koh: Ghaack!!
Kokonoe: This is exactly what we want to know. Koh: Gaah… Haack…
Kokonoe: C’mon, take away his stuff. Yui: Y-Yes, sir.
P13 Kokonoe: We’d get in quite a bind in you told outsiders about this you see. But here, I’ll entrust you with this one. Koh: W-What are you…
Kokonoe: I already mentioned it before but these girls have the ability to perceive cheaters in human skin, And, while this kind of power is only referred to as “intuition” or even as the ability to “sense the supernatural” among commoners, We pull out all the stops in our possession to look for people who proves themselves to be these wolves in sheep clothing.
Kokonoe: Yet, we’ve never heard of someone having a power like yours before So, we can’t really well leave you be, can we…?
Kokonoe: From now, you’ll be under our custody so of course We’ll want to check up your body. Koh: A-As if I’d let you do that…
P14 Kokonoe: Whoa there…! You’d better not fight it. After all, the cheaters existence is hidden to commoners so as to not create a panic… And, to top it all, we also belong to a secret organization so… I can’t be too scrupulous about my means.
Kokonoe: We’ve even been given permission to carry guns in order to face off against these monsters that have strayed from the path of humans Which means we even have permission to kill…
Kokonoe: Here, look at this. It must ring a bell, doesn’t it?
Kokonoe: That’s right… it’s that crime you reported. While the culprit’s already been arrested Your fingerprints were found all around the house so…
P15 Kokonoe: I’d even be able to frame you as the murderer if I wanted to. I’m sure your family would feel really sad if it did turn out like this, right? Koh: F-Fuck you! You’re playing dirty…!
Kokonoe: The girls will have you Under a 24/7 surveillance.
Kokonoe: Alright girls, go back to today’s designated place ahead, I still have business with him. Girls: Yes, sir!
Kokonoe: I’ll now have you undergo a medical check at our division’s hospital, A very thorough one.
Kokonoe: Don’t make that face, Fujimura.
P16 Kokonoe: After all, we’re only the allies of Justice That protect the people from the shadows… Against the monsters that run rampant in the world and can’t help but make of this Utopia a Deathtopia so
Kokonoe: Listen to what the Allies of Justice tell you, alright?
P17 ???: Alright, here you are.
Koh: …Will I be living in this mansion? ???: Yeah. You’ll be living in room 302.
???: We’ll be monitoring you from here 24/7 so Don’t even think of escaping. Koh: You don’t need to tell me!
P18 Koh: Damnit! They examined my body from head to foot…
Koh thinking: I know they told me it’d take a while for the results to come out… But, I hope something will actually become clear with them…
Plate : Kisaragi Koh thinking: So that one called Kisaragi lives in 301, eh?
Koh thinking: …And, since I’m 302… That means, the two’s rooms further ahead are those two’s right…?
P19 Koh thinking: So in the end, this has gotta mean I’m being watched from both sides… Shit! It’s just like I’m being put on leash…
Koh: …Eh?
Koh: W-Why is the room so spacious…?
Koh: A-Are rooms are connected between them through the center…? But why…?
P20 Saki: Huh?!
Koh: I-I-I’m sorry!!
Koh: I-I didn’t mean to peek on you or anything… Only that since I just arrived here… I don’t know my right from my left.
Saki thinking: Hm…
P21 Saki: Phew, that just really surprised me, is all. It appears the examination ended pretty quickly. Seriously, they should have at least phoned us ahead if they were going to drop you off.
Koh: I-I don’t get it. Why are the rooms connected like this…?
Saki: It’s because our enemies have high abilities so we wouldn’t be much of a threat for them by going one-on-one, you know? In bubble SFX: *PSHHH*
Saki: And, that’s also exactly why we constantly need to act as a group. This also explains why the rooms where built that way. You see, the separated entrances only serve to camouflage ourselves in the eyes of the common people. Well, rooms we each sleep in are separated though so rest assured.
Koh: Ha- Having to live that way will be pretty troubling…
Saki: Eh? Why is that?
P22 Yui: I’m against it, I don’t want to live with him…
Maya: Really, you’re as stiff as always Yui…
Yui: That’s not what I meant…! It’s just that I really can’t afford the time to get concerned with him…!
P23 Yui: Even you know, Why I’m cooperating with the Police… right?
Maya: Saki, I’m pretty sure you, me and even the others Know why, right?
Yui: I apologize…
P24 Maya: Anyway, this shouldn’t be a problem, right? After all, he’s pretty cute
Maya: And he even supported you a little So, he can’t be all that bad, can he…? Yui: Y-you don’t need to remind me of that, do you…
Maya: Still, I don’t really know why… But, I’ve felt ill at ease Ever since we met him… Insert : This is as far as Vol.1 goes.

Box : Anyway, it that was really the case, there is no way I wouldn’t see it when it’s blocked by glass.
Cameo : That’s because you’re an extremely dangerous man, To us at least.

Box : Where did I hear this voice before… That’s right, if I’m not mistaken, they’re from that night…
Cameo : That’s as far as you go! W… Why did you shoot her Ms Saki? Even though we could have arrested her… Idiooot, victory goes to the one who makes the first move, or do you actually think those people would listen to us, Yui? S… Still…! Girls, keep the quarrelling for later. We need to confirm her condition… Let’s head down.
P02 Fujimura : Ah…! Fujimura thinking : That’s right, as for that monster…
Fujimura thinking : He’s already gone…
Box : Just what the hell… Was that exactly…? Cameo : Sorry, are you alright?
Fujimura thinking : Was that my imagination…? Or an hallucination or something…?
Fujimura thinking : A gun?! Saki : We’re people that are allowed to shoot this, You know?
Saki : Fujimura Koh, We gotta tell you something so Follow us to a place people won’t disturb us!
P04-05 Saki : There we go, let’s get in!
Managers : Have a fun ride!
Manager 1 : Hey… did you see that? Those clients… Those 3 girls are babes. Manager 2 : Yeah, the guy’s got it good. But… I wonder what they want with him.
P06 Saki : Damn, Tokyo sure is a practical city. I mean being able to see such a nice scenery just by riding on something like this is awesome!
Box : Just who are they? Saki : Oh! Look, it’s the Mt. Fuji, right?! Fujimura : Well… what do you want to ask me…?
P07 Yui : Do you recognise that woman?
Fujimura : Eh? No… It doesn’t ring a bell…
Yui : She’s the woman that attacked you one week ago. Her name is Kirishima Karen…
Yui : She’s a serial killer that gouges out the eyes of the people she kills.
Fujimura : A serial killer…? Cameo : …Hey, you… That hurt… Gack! Fujimura thinking : Then, I was really about to be killed back then…
P08 Fujimura : B… But she’s already dead, right? There is nothing to worry…
Fujimura : Eh?
Saki : You see… She’s still alive…
Saki : She was already gone when we headed down To check on her. Well, let’s just say she escaped by walking.
P09 Fujimura : T… that must be a lie, right? She fell from the 4th floor, there is no way she’s still… Yui : Enough with that, this isn’t what we want to ask you.
Yui : Do you get it? She’s Killed 23 people until now.
Yui : However, all of her victims so far have either been executive staff from big companies and even politicians. My point is that she’s an assassin that specialises in killing VIPs.
Yui : ….And yet, it’s odd. I wonder why for some reason…
Yui : This time around she stooped so far as to aim For a civilian like you…
P10 Yui : Tell us if you have a hunch as to why, Alright?
Fujimura : Eh? Even if you tell me that… I don’t a clue at all or anything… Box : …Wait.
Box : Now that I think about it, that monster I saw today… Maybe it’s actually related To that unusual thing it had to it? B… But…
Saki : Don’t play dumb, brat. As if a professional killer would actually aim for a normal university student.
Saki : You’d better hurry up and speak… I’ll only wait for 3 seconds!
Saki : …Threeeee, Box : I… Is she serious?!
Box : Serious about letting go of me…? Saki : Twooooo,
P12 Saki : Oneeee, Fujimura : W… Waait a moment. I, erm… You see…
Saki : Zero! Fujimura : Eh?!
Yui : Please leave it at that, Ms Saki.
Saki : C’mon, don’t butt in on my fun, Yui. Fujimura : Guh!
Yui : What are you thinking… Ms Saki?
Yui : Killing him would be meaningless, wouldn’t it? Saki : Shut up! Your way of doing things is way too dull!
P13 Box : T… They’re totally insane…!! Exactly how serious was she?
Box : Why is this happening to me…?
P14 Fujimura : Again… I can clearly see it… Even them…

Box : Is… this really the strength of a woman?! It ain’t ordinary…
Koh : Vu… Vu… gg…
P35 Laura : Gyaah! Koh : Cough! Cough!
Koh : Cough! Cough! Gack! Cough…!
Koh : Haa Haa Box : Fuck! Why is this happening to me?!
P36 Koh : Eh?!
Laura : …Hey, you… That hurt…
Box : She’s unscathed…?! Even though I hit her with all my strength?!
P37 SFX : TEAR Koh : Guh… Gack… W… why are you… doing this to me…
Laura : Heh Heh Heh, d’you wanna knooow? You see, this is because you’re an extremely dangerous man…!
Laura : To us at least. Box : Us…?
Laura : That’s why I’ll have you die, Like this! Koh : Guuh!
Laura : Heh Heh Heh, I’ve gotten aroused. Do you know why I always strangle the neck like this Whenever I kill people…?
P38 Laura : It’s because the eyes on the corpse of a strangled person get steeped in a deep red… And become extremely beautiful, just like rubies.
Koh : Guh… Gack, Aaagh.
??? : That’s as far as you go!
P39-40 Box : W… Who…?
Laura : Gack…! Koh : Guh…
P41 Laura : Y… You bitches…
??? : S… She fell…
??? : W… Why did you shoot her Ms Saki? Even though we could have arrested her…
Saki : Idiooot, victory goes to the one who makes the first move, or do you actually think those people would listen to our warning, Yui? Yui : S… Still…!
P42 ??? : Girls, keep the quarreling for later. We need to confirm her condition… Let’s go down. Yui : Y-Yes, Madam! Saki : Understood!
Koh : Cough Box : What?
Box : What was with those girls just now… I was saved, is that it?
Box : Just what the hell is happening…
P43 Box : T… the woman that attacked me Fell?! And from here too…
Box : What?! What the fuck is happening…
P44 Detective : …I see…
Detective : In other words, you were attacked by a strange woman… Then were saved by different girls who possessed guns during that pinch, Is that it, Mr Fujiwara?
Detective : Hmmm…
Koh : I… It’s not a lie. Please look at the mark on my neck! The fact it’s here means I can’t possibly be lying, doesn’t it?
Koh : T… that’s right, there was a corpse outside, wasn’t there?! This is indisputable evidence.
Detective : You see, That’s the thing, Mr Fujimura…
P45 Detective : There was none, No corpse at all.
Koh : Eh?
Koh : B… but, I definitely heard someone falling… A… are you sure the body wasn’t carried off by someone?
Detective : …Yes… It doesn’t seem to be the case…
Koh : E… Erm… then, how about asking the nurse that was attacked just like I was? She should know somethi…
Detective : Sure, we did find the unconscious nurse just like you said, However, she told us she didn’t see anything, and didn’t remember anything either…
Koh : …R …Really…?
P46 Detective : Well, you must be pretty tired so I’ll leave it at that for today. The investigation will continue so let me know if you remember anything. Koh : Y-Yes, sir…
Detective 2: Mister, I really can’t make heads or tails of this case.
Detective :…Me too…
Detective : …Say, did you hear? Detective 2: Hm? Hear what?
Detective : That the top isn’t very assertive as far as the investigation is concerned. Since fundamentally there isn’t even a corpse to speak of, it’s possible the investigation will be closed right away.
P47 Detective 2: Eh? What do you mean…?! Detective : Don’t ask me, I dont even get it myself.
Detective : But well, if there is one thing I can say, it’s that…
Detective :…This somehow isn’t A case we should poke our noses into.
Detective :…What a seriously screwed up case.
Detective : Look at those footprints… They totally make it seem like the corpse walked off…
Detective 2: The footprints stop right in front of this wall.
Detective : The national highway’s right beside this wall, isn’t it…?
Detective 2: Indeed.
P48 Detective : Geez…
Detective : Seriously… What the heck is happening…
P49 Akatani : Your sister isn’t coming today?
Koh : No, she has exams today.
Akatani : I see… You must be feeling a bit lonely then, no? You’re finally getting discharged but no one is here to welcome you. Koh : Doctor, it really isn’t nice to treat me like a kid.
Akatani : Alright, I’m done extracting the threads! You can open your eyes now, Fujimura.
P50 No Text
P51 Akatani : How is it? You were pretty worried for a while but You can properly see just like you did before, can’t you? Koh : Yeah!
Box : …It’s more like, I can… See better than before even…
Box : …Is it just me…? I guess it’s because I haven’t seen anything in a while…?
Akatani : …Ra, Fujimura! Koh : Eh?
Akatani : What’s with you, suddenly spacing out… If there is even the slightest problem… Koh : Ah… No, I just had the impression I could see really well.
Akatani : I see, nevermind then, also…
P52 Akatani : I’m terribly sorry. Koh : Eh?
Akatani : You were involved in an outrageous case while being hospitalized… And we ended up reenforcing the security after that. I hope you’ll forgive me.
Koh : P-please stop it! It’s not like you were in the wrong, doctor. I understand as much.
Koh : …But, what has become of that case? The Police didn’t come at all after that…
Akatani : I really have no idea. Even the Police seems to tackle it half-heartedly.
Akatani : …Well then, congratulations on your discharge, Fujimura. We don’t know what might happen so be careful for a while, alright…?
Koh : I will, thank you very much.
P53 Koh : This is “Toneya”…
Koh : This “Makom” and this “TOMU”.
Koh :…Seriously… I took off my glasses since my vision was blurred but…
Koh : I can see everything… I don’t even need glasses anymore…
P54 Box : So, it wasn’t just my imagination then…?
Koh : Is it because of the surgery…? I’ve never of this happening before though. I guess things like these do happen after all…?
Koh thinking : “Being able to see” is pretty nice…
Koh thinking : I went through a pretty bitter experience but This is the only good thing I got out of it… Koh : …Hm?
P55-56 No Text
P57 Box : What’s… that…?
Koh thinking : Is he wearing a mask or something? Though, it feels like this is something even weirder than that…

P58 ??? : Oops, sorry. Are you alright?
Koh : Uwaaargh!
