A stray Dalmatian? // No way! Mozuku: Stray Dalmatian!?
Sachi: Mozuku, did you know? // They say there's a stray Dalmatian walking around the neighborhood. // I wonder if it's true. Mozuku: He probably just ran away from home......
Sachi: He's probably a stray, because he can't get along with people. // Scary.
Sachi: Mozuku, you watch out for him too. // If he bites you, your fur will get a polka-dot pattern. Mozuku: No, it won't............

Mozuku: ...could we talk about something else? // Something like "seeing giant snakes and lions". // Or don't you have such stories? Dalmatian: Of course I have.

Box: The old, stray Dalmatian // is gone SFX: munch munch
Box: The old man's stories weren't very spectacular. // He didn't go on any exciting adventures. // But he definitely has seen many things. // Those words: "I'm dying", // They were just a lie to make me listen. // That's what I think.
Dalmatian: I'm sorry for last time... // I didn't have enough stories ready yet. Mozuku: ............
Mozuku: I've had enough of the old man's stories...... https://mangahelpers.com/t/sohma-riku/releases/42087[English] [Translation] Mozuku, Walking! 9 by Sohma Riku2015-12-04T15:19:22+00:00Sohma Rikuadmin@mangahelpers.com1 (57) Title: Chapter 9 [Howl]

Mother: I pretended he was a toy car! // (vroom vroom) Sachi: That's even worse!!
Mother: Hahaha......... // I'm joking. Sachi: Stop it with the weird jokes!
Mother: Moreover, Sachi, // Mozuku's fur is pretty long, don't you think? // It's easy to mistake him for a mop. Sachi: Eh? // You think so?

Mozuku: By the length of our fur, you can tell whether the dog is a long-haired breed or a short-haired breed. // The presence or absence of an undercoat tells whether we are a single coat dog breed and double coat dog breed.
SFX: cut cut Box: I'm a long haired dog bread with a single coat.
Box: That doesn't mean that I only have my topcoat to protect me from the cold // It just means it simply keeps growing until I'm completely covered. // In regard to my existence, whether it's to bring out my "shadiness" // or a manifestation of my self-consciousness about looking plump, // I don't know why my fur keeps growing.
Box: On the contrary, // I don't even know what kind of being is confined // underneath this long fur. // And I don't have the courage to find out.

Box: ............
6 (56) Sachi: Alright, I'm done! // Don't you think Mozuku looks more handsome now? Mozuku: !
Mozuku: ...how unexpected, // she actually did a good job.
Box: I have no wish to know // what I look like beneath my fur.
Box: It's just, // finding that my body feels slightly lighter now,
Mozuku: ! Sachi: Hm!

Mozuku: That was easier than I thought.
Mozuku: .........I'm free. // Just why do I // let her sue me as a pillow...?
Mozuku: On a madder-shining midday in the Spring season, resting her uncertain life on a bed's pillow // The mortal one has gem-black dreams......
Mozuku: Because I'm a pillow now, // I tried to make a poem using pillow words. // I have no idea what it means...... Cat: Mozuku!
T/N: Pillow words (Makura kotoba) are figures of speech used in Japanese poetry. Mozuku's poem: Azusayumi haru no / Akanesasu Hiru / Tamakiharu Inochi / wo shikitahe no makura ni / utsusemi no hito wa / nubatama no yume. The italized words are all pillow words.

Father: Oh, my. // Sachi fell asleep with the window still open. SFX: roll
Father: Seriously! // She'll catch a cold......
Father: I would like to close the window, but // I'm scared Mozuku will bark at me......
Cat: Meow!!
XX: smack
6 (50) Father: Meo... "Meow!!"!?
SFX: clang
Cat: Did he think meow meowed, Mozuku? Mozuku: It's your fault! //Take responsibility!
Cat: ...because we are pillows, // meow will be my cover. Mozuku: Don't be smart with me! https://mangahelpers.com/t/sohma-riku/releases/41374[English] [Translation] Mozuku, Walking! 6 by Sohma Riku2015-05-31T18:12:34+00:00Sohma Rikuadmin@mangahelpers.com

Sachi: BOO!!
Mozuku: Hic!
Sachi: It didn't work... // ...alright! 2 (40) Sachi: Look! // The pencil is soft! // Are you scared? // Are you scared?
Mozuku: Hic!
Isao: What are you doing, sis? Sachi: It doesn't work. // I can't stop his hiccups.
Isao: I heard you can stop hiccups by sneezing. // Why don't you tickle his nose? Sachi: Already tried that, he didn't sneeze. Isao: Then, have you tried the "Drink a glass of water upside down"? Sachi: It didn't work. // I also tried to make him say "Soybeans" by asking him "What is Tofu made of?" // but it's no use. He won't say it. Isao: That's because he's a dog! T/N: The Tofu/soybean (daizu) question appears to be a way to get rid of hiccups.
Sachi: I also stuck an plum in his navel, but it has no effect. Isao: That's against car sickness.
Isao: I also heard something about "holding your breath for a moment". Sachi: That's it! Mozuku: What!? 3 (41) Sachi: Here we go, Mozuku! // One, two, three! Mozuku: Wuf!
Mozuku: ...seriously!
Box: Humans are very // selfish creatures.
Box: In a world where I can't breathe // I think of Kudryavka. // In 1957 she boarded the "Sputnik 2", a artificial satellite of the former Soviet Union. // Kudryavka was the first living animal // to go to space. // For the sake of Human evolution, she was abandoned in space as a test animal. // She died all alone. Sachi: Mozuku!
T/N: Kudryavka is the original name of Laika.
Sachi: Mozuku! // Do you still have the hiccups? Mozuku:!
Mozuku: Hic!
Mozuku: To think of myself as a test animal is probably a bit too much though... Sachi: This is strange... // Alright, one more time.
Sachi: One, two, three! Mozuku: Wuf! // No way! 4 (42) Box: In a world where I can't breathe // I think again of Kudryavka. // In 1957 she was the first living animal //to go to space. // Kudryavka is Russian for "curls". // There was a time it felt like I was in love with this curled lady that I only knew from my imagination. Sachi: Mozuku!
Sachi: Mozuku! // Right now, // do you still have the hiccups? Mozuku: !
Mozuku: Hic!
Mozuku: I'm stupid. // That has nothing to do with this... Sachi: Alright! // Let's try it one more time!
Sachi: One, two, three! Mozuku: Wuf! // EEH!! 5 (43) Box: In a world where I can't breathe // I'm made to think of Kudryavka again.
Laika: You are // so persistent!!!
Mozuku: Ah!
Box: That's how // my hiccups stopped.
Box: Being in love is a lot like having the hiccups. // It suddenly appears and takes an annoying control over your body. // Then it suddenly disappears again. 6 (44) - https://mangahelpers.com/t/sohma-riku/releases/41367[English] [Translation] Mozuku, Walking! 5 by Sohma Riku2015-05-28T18:01:00+00:00Sohma Rikuadmin@mangahelpers.com1 (33) Chapter 5 [Mashiro]

Mozuku: No need to get nervous. Mashiro: I'm sorry... // But I'm not good at chatting.
Mozuku: Well, we could // mess about? Mashiro: EEH!!
3 (35) Mozuku: What's wrong? Mashiro: Well... it's our first meeting // Messing about right from the start is a little......
Mozuku: But it'll show we are "friends". Mashiro: ............ // Like snuggling up to each other...?
Mozuku: ............
Mozuku: Somehow this is // incredibly awkward!!!
Mozuku: ............we look like a middle-aged couple. Sachi: Look, they are already friends!
Sachi: I wonder what they are talking about // as fellow dogs. Satomi: I love to imagine their conversations.
4 (36) Sachi: Really? // I want to hear! Satomi: Err, their conversation.
Satomi: " ...I think // I may have... fallen in love with... you?" // " I think that I... // I don't... hate you?"
Sachi: Haha!! // That's what they said!! Satomi: Ehehe... // That's what they said?
Satomi: Why don't you give it a try? SFX: Nod Sachi: Yes! // I'll give it a try.
Mashiro: I knew it, // it's strange to snuggle up right away, right? SFX: quick Sachi: Oh? // They are separating!
5 (37) Sachi: Err, err. // So Mozuku says. // "The~~ Da~~Ru~~Ma // fe~~ll... // over!" Mozuku: ? SFX: turn T/N: "Daruma ga koronda" (The Daruma fell over) is a children's game similar to "Peep behind the curtain".

SFX: Chatter // chatter Mozuku: What are they so excited about?
Sachi: Well, Satomi-chan, // I'll see you at school tomorrow. Satomi: Yes. // See you.
Sachi: Look, // what if Mozuku and Mashiro would say goodbye?
Mozuku: ............ // Err, well......
6 (38) Sachi: "...my feelings for you // are... serious?" Mozuku: Until next time... see you.
Satomi: "Your feelings... // they don't make me... not happy?" Mashiro: See you!

TV: In the Kantou area the probability of rain is 50%. Mozuku: 50%, huh? // Don't pretend it's an achievement to give such an evenly split prediction......
Mother: Sachi, // they expect it's going to rain later today, why don't you take Mozuku for a walk while it's still dry? Sachi: Hm.
Sachi: Mozuku, let's go for a walk! SFX: nod
Box: A walk is like going on a little trip.
Box: It's a threadbare, tawdry turn of phrase, but // I like the wording. Mother: Bring an umbrella just in case. Sachi: We're off! Box: Walks are the premonition of a short story. 2 (28) Box: Well, in truth // going on a trip or going for a walk don't necessarily make a story. Sachi: Wait, Mozuku. // I'm still putting on my shoes. Box: But the most precious moment of a trip // isn't the time you are away or the time you come back. // It's probably the moment you set off because you "wish" to go on a trip?
Box: That's why I // go on an trip every day. Sachi: Mozuku, you're so fast! SFX: dash
Mozuku: But, // we always walk the same route.
SFX: meow meow Sachi: Hm?
SFX: meow meow // search search Sachi: I hear a cat......

Sachi: Mr. Cat! // Here! SFX: rapid Mozuku: You aren't trying to catch a wood chip......
Mozuku: Guh! SFX: thud
Cat: Oh, that was close, you saved meow! // Thank meow very much!
Sachi: Mozuku, that's so cool! // You made a super catch! Mozuku: ............
Mozuku: By the way, // get off me!

Mozuku: Don't ride me...... Cat: Fuu. SFX: cling
Mozuku: Don't just lie on top of me!! Cat: Meow.
Cat: Are all of meow 8 nipples directly touching your back? Mozuku: ...what are you trying to say?
Cat: I'm returning meow kindness!
Mozuku: You don't have to!!!
T/N: I'm not sure what this conversation between Mozuku & that Cat is about... and I'm not sure if I want to know xD

Mozuku: Cat ears? You're a cat, right!? SFX: drip drip

Sachi: Mozuku, time to go home! // Don't want to catch a cold.
Mozuku: ............ // Seriously! SFX: dash

Sachi: Oh? Mr. Cat is coming with us? Cat: !
SFX: dash Sachi: Ah!

6 (32) Mother: Sachi, didn't I tell you to bring an umbrella? Sachi: Hm. // Ah? // Mozuku is barely wet!
Sachi: I see! // Mr. cat has shielded Mozuku from the rain! Mozuku: !
Sachi: He repaid the favor. Mozuku: That cat......
Mozuku: I forgot to ask her name.
Box: Going out for a walk is no guarantee for a big story. // But on days with a 50% chance of rain, sometimes you'll even have cats fall from the sky. // The most precious part of a trip // sometimes happens after you set off. // That's what I learned today.
Box: Tomorrow I will // go on another trip.
Sachi: Mozuku! // If it rains tomorrow too, // let's just stay inside. https://mangahelpers.com/t/sohma-riku/releases/41329[English] [Translation] Mozuku, Walking! 3 by Sohma Riku2015-05-18T17:52:43+00:00Sohma Rikuadmin@mangahelpers.com

Sachi: ............you're right.
Sachi: EEH!? Mother: That was a nice shower. SFX: rub / rub Mother: You used him to dry your hair!?
3 (23) Mother: Of course not. // I tried to use him as a pillow. Sachi: That scared me. // Because Mozuku isn't a "multi-purpose toy".

Sachi: Mozuku, // today's weather is really nice, huh?
Sachi: It's nice to take a walk in the morning. // Morning walks are nicer than evening walks. // It's light, // and you can bask in the sun. Mozuku: So, "Walk in the Light While There is Light"......?
T/N: "Walk in the Light While There is Light" = a short story by Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy
Box: A dog's life is shorter than a human's. // Our lives end while we still circle around in the same place.
Box: We die when we've consumed all possibilities // that "something could happen tomorrow". // But // it's the same for most people. // The only difference is their longer lifespan. // I'm sure their life is nothing more than "a process of losing possibilities" too. // Every time they walk the same route at the same time of day, // that's what they think about.

SFX: stare
Box: It seems he is afraid of dogs. // I think he's right not to trust someone who can't talk, but // sometimes humans put too much confidence in words. // They are unable to perceive the sincerity of silence.
Father: Oh! // "The Leo's lucky item are iron dumbbells". // Maybe I should put some in my bag. Box: Magazines are a pack of words, but // there is no reason to trust them. // Right when the Leo was appointed iron dumbbells as his lucky item // he became an unlucky fellow.

6 (20) Sachi: Dad, you're an idiot! // Why are you bullying Mozuku!? SFX: tightly Father: I... I didn't mean for that to happen...... // I'm sorry, Mozuku...
Father: This magazine's horoscope // had it wrong...... // It was more of an unlucky item.
Mozuku: So stupid...... Sachi: Mozuku, // I made you something! SFX: rustle
Sachi: Here! // A teddy bear! // I just finished sewing it!
Mozuku: Isn't that the unlucky item of the Piscus!? SFX: Jolt https://mangahelpers.com/t/sohma-riku/releases/41192[English] [Translation] Mozuku, Walking! 1 by Sohma Riku2015-04-05T15:09:47+00:00Sohma Rikuadmin@mangahelpers.com 1 (8) Title: Chapter 1 [Name]
Sachi: Ahahaha! // Mozuku! // Mozuku!
Isao: Sis, // why did you name him "Mozuku"? Sachi: Eh?
Sachi: Why? // Because his fur looks like seaweed.
TN: mozuku = seaweed of the family Spermatochnaceae
Isao: Hm. // Mozuku doesn't seem to like him name very much. Sachi: Of course he likes it.
Mozuku: Humans like to name everything. // By giving something a name // they are able to understand and control it.
2 (9) Sachi: I'm going to the toilet. Mozuku: Take this daifuku.
TN: daifuku = a soft round rice cake stuffed with sweet bean jam; dai = big, good; fuku = fortune, luck
Mozuku: They probably named it that, because they regard it to be a sign of "good fortune", but // they completely omitted the essential part that says it's a "mochi". // It don't see how it would bring good fortune. // This food clearly lost its true name. TN: mochi = a rice cake
Mozuku: I can't help but think it's funny that humans unquestioningly call it a daifuku. Isao: What is it, Mozuku? // Do you want the daifuku?
Isao: Here. Mozuku: !
Mozuku: gobble
SFX: chew chew chew
Mozuku: !? // Delicious!!!
3 (10) SFX: flush // trot trot Sachi: Ah, that's better. Mozuku: Maybe it holds more fortune than I thought...
Sachi: Ah! // Where is my daifuku!
SFX: chew chew
Sachi: One of you did this!! Isao: Mozuku ate it.
Sachi: I know you ate it! SFX: smack Isao: Look, he's still chewing.
SFX: Stare~~ // chew chew chew chew
Sachi: I'm going to give you a punch perm!! SFX: smack Mozuku: I'll become a different dog breed!
TN: punch perm = hair permed in short, tight curls (usually associated with yakuza and delinquents)
4 (11) Mozuku: Ah, crap...... SFX: wilt Isao: Don't worry about it, Mozuku. // My sis is just small-minded.
SFX: rattle Sachi: ...Mozuku.
Sachi: I'm sorry I got angry with you... // I didn't think of your feelings... Isao: ? // Mozuku's feelings?
Sachi: I get it. // It's because you don't like your name, right? // It's too plain...... // So you became jealous //of the "daifuku", which has a meaningful name......
Isao: You think so?
Mozuku: You're wrong, // but whatever.
5 (12) Sachi: So, that means // we have to think of a new name for Mozuku. // Any ideas? Isao: You're enjoying this, aren't you?
Mozuku: Yes, humans really like to name everything.
Sachi: Since he didn't like "Mozuku", // what about "Mozukusake"? Isao: How is that any different?
Sachi: Well. Isao: If you want to name him after food, // why don't you give him a name that actually fills your stomach?
Sachi: "Mozuku-zukushi"! Isao: How do you fill your stomach with seaweed!?
TN: mozuku-zukushi = full of seaweed
Sachi: "Chaahan&ricegomokugohantsuki" Isao: That's all rice! Sachi: "Gyoumuyou Pasta" Isao: I don't really get it, but // sound like you would need a lot...!
TN: Chaahan&ricegomokugohantsuki = Chinese fried rice & rice steamed in stock with vegetables with rice; Gyoumuyou pasta = pasta for business use
Box: With this and that...... Sachi: So many ideas! Isao: Why don't we let Mozuku choose? Papers: Calpis // Mozuku-zukushi // Chaahan&rice (gomokugohantsuki) // Miso // Melon pan // Big Mac // Mozukusake // Gyoumuyou pasta // Koorimizu // Kona 6 (13) Sachi: Go, choose the name you like! Isao: It's your choice!
SFX: trot trot
SFX: wriggle wriggle
SFX: excited // trot trot Sachi: He's back!
Sachi: Ah!
Paper: sake // Mozuku // Mozuku
Sachi: He wants to be "Mozuku"! Isao: Huh, I thought you didn't like it?
Mozuku: It's just // the other choices were worse. https://mangahelpers.com/t/sohma-riku/releases/41173[English] [Translation] Mozuku, Walking! 00 by Sohma Riku2015-03-30T18:18:59+00:00Sohma Rikuadmin@mangahelpers.comMozuku, Walking! -prologue-
