Case 1 : Bulle 1 : Je suis désolé Monsieur… C’est ce qu'est le Baseball japonais.
Case 3 :
Bulle 1 : Les équipes pensent avant tout à remporter le match, et font passer les données avant tout.

Page 92 :
Case 1 : Bulle 1 : Oui… Tant que leur équipe gagne…
Case 2 : Bulle : Je ne reviendrai pas sur ce que j’ai dit…
Case 3 : Bulle : Mais, monsieur…
Case 4 : Vos lancers d’hier ont fait frissonner le public !
Case 5 : Bulle 1 : Et puis, vous savez que même si vous avez perdu à cause de ces attaques d'amortis, Bulle 2 : les fans japonais se sont levés et étaient vraiment heureux de voir vos supers lancers à 160kmh !
Page 93 : Case 1 : Bulle 1 : Il n’y en a juste pour 6 mois ! Bulle 2 : En tant que pro, vous aurez une bonne rémunération digne du travail que vous fournirez !

Announcer 大家好。 Hello, everyone.
今天我們要為各位轉播的是這一季中橫濱與巨仁首度在橫濱棒球場交戰的實況。 Today, we welcome everyone to the first match of the Yokohama team.
解説田尾先生。 你好。 Tianmao-sensei will be commenting, hello.
今天最受矚目的還是我們會經提過的Gibson吧! Today, the biggest attraction is our star, Gibson!
對，沒錯。 Yes, that’s right.
因爲它是去年在大職盟中締造20勝佳的投手。 Because last year in the Major Leagues, he recorded twenty wins.
不知道他會投什麽樣的球？ 真令人期待。 Who knows what kind of pitches he'll throw? We're all looking forward to seeing them
還有橫濱隊的先發名單也根值住得矚目。 as well as how Yokohama will react.
因為本田調進來擔任第七棒了！ Honda's done well, so far!
嗯，開幕寳時情況很好， Mmm, he begins when the situation is good.
而且日前在廣島的二連戰中，二次在打都會擊出全壘打。 Moreover, against Hiroshima, he got two good hits.
爆發力十足的本田與Gibson對決也非常令人期待。 The explosive power of Honda coupled with Gibson's reputation makes for an exciting matchup.
Gorou 哇啊！ Woah！
老師，你看！爸爸是先發球員耶！先發的耶！！ Sensei, look, look! Dad's first up! He's first up!
Momoko 真的！好棒喔！ Yes, he is! How wonderful!
Gorou 嗯！ 這下可以好好地觀賞大聯盟超級球員和爸爸對決了！ Mmm! This is a good time for the Major Leagues to see daddy in action!
各位看看！這個198公分，105公斤的身材！ Everybody look! He's 198 cm and 105 kg!
Gorou 光從外型來看，就是不折不扣的超級大聯盟水準！ He's a major leaguer in every sense!
Momoko 好高大啊！ So tall!
他到底會透出什麽球呢？ Just what kind of pitch will he throw?https://mangahelpers.com/t/erikthered/releases/15130[English] [Translation] Major 15 by erik-the-red2009-08-14T01:31:12+00:00erik-the-redadmin@mangahelpers.comFor Major Scans' use only.
Chapter 15
超級選手抵日 An Uncooperative Superstar
2月1日,職棒集訓. February 1, team training.
球季開始前,主力球員在這裡調整自己的體力. Before the season starts, the players condition themselves here.
其他人則以升上一軍或獲得先發為目標,展開了激烈的競爭. The competition is on, no matter what the goal is.
Crowd 別擠! Don't push!
然後— And then—
Crowd 我們待會會舉行記者招待會! We'll have the press conference!
來了!! He's here!!
來了!! He's here!!
()年同樣也有身負重責大任, Carrying a great burden, [t/n note: First character is missing from scan]
Crowd Joe Gibson!!
跨越太平洋,遠道而來的外籍選手!! The foreign player from far across the Pacific!!
Bald Guy Gibson先生,歡迎歡迎! Gibson-sensei, welcome, welcome!
歡迎你遠渡重洋,來到我們這個東洋島國! We welcome you after traveling such a long distance to our island nation!
Translator 你好,Gibson 先生. Hello, Gibson-sensei.
這位是巨仁隊的代表品保先生,我是負責翻譯的日下部. This is the Juren team representative, Pinbao-sensei. I'll be your translator. [t/n note: I don't know what Pinbao is in Japanese]
Gibson 官它什麼都好,這是怎麼回事,為什麼這麼多人? Whatever. What's the deal here? Why is there such a big crowd?
我是聽說過日本人愛拍照,但沒想到有這麼誇張! I had heard that Japanese people like to take pictures, but I didn't think it was going to be like this!
Translator 啊? Hmm?
好,有問題的人請發問. Alright, if you have questions, please ask them now.
Reporter Gibson先生,您是現任的大聯盟頂尖選手, Gibson-sensei, you were a big star in the Major Leagues,
為什麼會待地跑到日本來打球? what brings you to Japan to play?
Gibson 這可是第一回有像您這樣如日中天的超級投手來到日本. This is the first time you've gotten such a good player to come to Japan.
因為薪水多到值得來. And why? Because of money.
如果有700萬美元的話,即使是火星上的草地棒球隊,我也參加. If there's $7 million to be had, I'll play, even if it's on Mars.
Translator 啊… Ah...
雖然大聯盟採行的是free agent制,不過由於價格談不攏,所以我就來到願意肯定我的東京巨仁隊了. Free agency wasn't attractive enough, so I came to play for the Tokyo Juren team.
Reporter 您有沒有聽說過關於日本職棒的事? Have you heard anything about Japanese baseball teams?
另外想請您發表一下自己的抱負. We'd like to hear what you think.
Gibson 我是大聯盟球員. I'm a Major Leaguer.
根本不認為這個次級水準國家的選手中,會有人能打到我的球. I don't even think about players like these. No one can return my pitches.
Translator 哈哈哈!巨仁隊是個好隊伍! Hahaha! Juren is a good team! [t/n note: I don't know what "juren" is in Japanese.]
他說他會為球隊好好努力! He said that for the team, he'll work really hard!
謝謝! Thank you!
Gibson先生,您這樣說實在令人很困擾. Gibson-sensei, what you say confuses me.
怎麼了? What's the matter?
如果將您說的話原原本本地翻譯出來就慘了. Everything you said was so negative.
日本有所謂的社交辭令,直接說出心中想法的話,會被人討厭的. In Japan, we tailor our speeches depending on the occasion so as to avoid upsetting others.
如果說話即虛又得體的話,日本人會隊您留下很好的印象. If you speak more gently, Japanese people will appreciate you a lot.
我認為您最好不要故意說一些損害球隊和破壞自己形象的話比較好. I think it's best if you don't deliberately say such things to belittle the team and destroy your image.
Gibson 球隊?形象? Team? Image?
所以你才擅自改變了我的話? So that's why you dared to change what I said?
Translator 抱歉. My deepest apologies.
可是我這麼做都是為了保護您… But, I did this to protect you...
Gibson 你?保護我? You? Protect me?
Translator 開什麼玩笑!混蛋!! What're you doing? Bastard!!
Gibson 你管你什麼形象不形象的! To hell with your goddamn image!
反正我就是我!這才是大聯盟的Gibson!! I am who I am! This is Gibson, the Major Leaguer!!
如果顧及形象的話,我就不會到這種鳥不生蛋的地方來打球! If I cared about image, I would never come to a dump like this!
你再做一次這種事看看! Try something like this again and see what happens!
我絕對會把妳那個細得跟女認一樣的脖自給扭斷!! I'll snap your neck!!
Translator 是……是! Alright, alright!
Shigeno 嗯…不錯,不錯! Hmm...not bad, not bad!
可是你這麼賣力好嗎?離開賽還久的很呢,菜馬. But is going all out good for you? You've still got time before you leave the stable, horsey.
Honda 別開玩笑了. Very funny.
我可不像你再開幕賽時還有那麼多閒時間. I don't look as bad as you do when you resume play after a break...
Shigeno 算了啦!你去年這時候不也是很積極地再練投嗎? Forget it! At this point last year, weren't you still practicing pitching?
對了,你看到哪個了嗎? Oh, that's right, did you see him?
Honda 啊? Hmm?
Shigeno Gibson啊Gibson. Gibson, Gibson.
聽說昨天開幕賽時他就試投了一局. I heard that during the exhibition yesterday, he threw a few pitches to test us.
Honda 嗯,我再電視上看到了. Yeah, I saw it on the TV.
三名打者全遭三振. Three pitchers, three strikeouts.
Shigeno 他可是如假包換的狼角色啦! He's a real wolf!
看來的確是大聯盟的招牌. Looks like he really was Major League stuff.
()()()打得到嗎? [t/n note: The scan is missing the first three characters. Can't translate.]
Honda 不知道…… I don't know...
反正很值得期待就是了! But we'll find out!
Girl 喂. Hello?
桃子,電話. Momoko, phone.
Momoko 誰? Who is it?
Girl 去遠征得那個人啊! The guy you went on a trip with!
要他再打來嗎? Do you want him to call back?
Momoko 啊,等一下,我馬上出去. Oh, hold on a sec, I'll be right there.
喂. Hello?
我是星野. This is Hoshino.
Honda 喂. Hey.
我是本田. It's Honda.
Momoko 啊,你好. Ah, hello.
Honda 你好嗎? How are you?
Momoko 嗯. Hmm.
很好. I'm very well.
吾郎怎麼樣? How's Gorou?
有沒有好好地上學啊? Is he studying hard?
Honda 嗯,雖然自己看家,他還是乖乖地來上學. Mmm, even though he's alone, he's still behaving like a good student.
馬上就是畢業典禮了. He's about to graduate.
我們的集訓也快要結束了. Our training will finish soon.
然後…. And then...
Momoko 好. Alright.
3月5日 March 5.

Honda 怎樣?有沒有很寂寞? How's everything? Were you lonely?
Gorou 還好啦! It was OK!
我馬上就回唸小學了喔! I'll start elementary school really soon!
Honda 是嗎? Is that so?
相薄…… The photo album...
Gorou 爸爸,我幫你泡杯coffee吧? Dad, I'll make you a cup of coffee, alright?
Honda 喔!好啊!麻煩你. Oh! Great! Thank you.
原來如此… So that's how it is...
他畢竟只有六歲. He's still only six-years-old.
不可能不寂寞的吧! There's no way he wasn't lonely!
Gorou 爸爸,我們來玩電動吧! Dad, let's play some video games!
Honda 好啊! OK!
Gorou 太棒了!全壘打! Wow! Great job!
Honda 吾郎… Gorou...
Gorou 什麼事? What's up?
Honda 你以前會說過… You once said...
如果桃子老師能當媽媽的話就太好了… it would be great if Ms. Hoshino were your mother...
Gorou 對呀! That's right!
Honda 如果真的這樣的話,你覺得怎麼樣? If this really happened, how would you feel?
爸爸… Daddy...
喜歡上桃子老師了. ...wants to marry Ms. Hoshino.
不過這並不表示爸爸忘了媽媽. Of course, this doesn't mean I've forgotten your mother.
我和你… You and I...
永遠都忘不了媽媽… ...will never forget your mother.
媽媽會諒解吧! Your mother would understand!
Gorou 嗯… Mm...
如果是桃子老師的話,媽媽一定會諒解的!! If it's Ms. Hoshino, mommy would definitely understand!!https://mangahelpers.com/t/erikthered/releases/14245[English] [Translation] Major 3 by erik-the-red2009-07-20T02:08:32+00:00erik-the-redadmin@mangahelpers.com第三話

Father
唷! 吾郎起床了呀!
Oh! Gorou’s up!
那我先來做早餐吧!
I’ll make breakfast, then!
Gorou
這…為什麼爸爸在做揮棒練習呢…
Why are you training?
Father
沒…沒什麼…只是想動動筋骨罷了!
No, it’s nothing. I’m just exercising!
雖然我已離開了球團,也是要動呀,否則身體可會生鏽的!
Even though I’m not part of the team anymore, I still have to exercise, otherwise I’ll get rusty!
Father
做早飯喔!
Making breakfast!
Gorou
喔…這樣…
Oh, so that’s why.
爸爸果然還是被球團給開除了…
If dad were still cut from the team…
請不要開除我爸爸!!
Please don’t let my dad go!!
求求您等到爸爸的手臂治好 !!求求您!!
I’m begging you, please wait until my dad’s arm recovers! ! Please!!
Manager
吾郎…
Gorou…
叔叔了解你的心情!
I know how you feel!
但是,叔叔卻沒辦法答應你這個請求!!
But, I truly can’t do anything about this!!
這裡是屬於職棒選手的競技場!
This is Major League Baseball!
沒有實力的人,以受傷而無法打球的人,即使萬分不願意,還是得退出這個圈子!
Those without strength, who can't play after they get injured, must leave even if they want to stay.
在職棒的世界中,勝負就是最現實的!
In the world of baseball, victory is the most important!
Manager
我想,現在你爸爸一定比你還難受…
I bet that right now, your dad feels worse than you do…
明白嗎!?
Do you understand?!
爸爸如果看到你哭成這個樣子,他心裡會更難過的!!
If your dad saw you cry like this, he’d feel even worse!!
Father
哎呀,吾郎, 你看!!
Jeez, Gorou, look!!
體育版今天可是以整版的篇幅報導茂野這傢伙喔!
Today’s sports edition is all about Maoye! [t/n note: I can’t guess his Japanese name.]
他現在是勝投數最多,防禦率最高的雙冠王呢!!
Right now, he has the lowest ERA and most strikeouts!
雖然他現在已經闖出一片天地,不過,在高中時, 他還是排在老爸後面的候補投手呢!
Even though he's untouchable now, back in high school, he ranked after yours truly!
Gorou
爸爸…
Dad…
Father
啊?
Hmm?
Gorou
我已經不要緊了…
I’m over it…
我要快點長大,然後去大職棒!我會比爸爸還有努力!
I want to grow up as fast as I can!
所以,爸爸也不要太在意這件事!好好地為下一個工作努力打拼吧!!
So, you don't have to worry about this! Just try to find a good new job!
Father
就這麼說定了!!
So determined!!
吾郎…
Gorou…
Gorou
那麼…我出去外面玩了!
Alright then, I’m going to play!
Father
喔…自己小心點!
Oh, be careful!
這個小鬼,沒事就愛替老爸操心…
Little rascal, he worries about me...
吾郎,你等著吧…
Gorou, you just wait…
爸爸一定會努力—
Daddy will definitely get stronger--
一定會為締造棒球生涯的第二春而努力!
I'll definitely be Shenya's second Spring! [t/n note: Not 100% sure on this line].
啪啦! 咔啦!

Manager
什,什麼?
Wha, what?
你想以打者的身分,繼續職棒生涯!?
You want to keep playing, but as a slugger?
Father
是的!!
Yes!!
請你們讓我在這個球季中試試看!!
Please let me demonstrate here!!
如果我在這一季真的亳無表現,我一定會自動退出球隊的!!
If I can't prove it to you, then I'll definitely leave!!
求求你們給我這個機會!!
I beg of you, please give me this chance!!
Uncle
本田先生,我們沒有辦法給你一個球季的時間…
Mr. Honda, we can’t give you any season time.
如果要網羅優秀的打者,我們寧可直接從外籍選手中挑選.
If we must get a superstar, we'd rather directly recruit from other countries.
所以, 你必須馬上接受選秀測驗, 讓球團見識你的打擊實力…
Thus, you must tryout immediately so we can evaluate your ability.
如果沒有通過測驗, 球團自然也沒有網羅你的必要!!
If you don't make it, there's nothing the team can do!
Been awhile since I last post random translations here(well since I haven't done anything for a long time)... lol... :D here we go.https://mangahelpers.com/t/itsumobasho/releases/1184[English] [Translation] Major 2 by itsumobasho2007-06-10T09:36:32+00:00itsumobashoadmin@mangahelpers.comVol 2 041
Doctor: We were able to recognize that something's wrong with your left arm. Doctor: It's possible that the only thing we can do is perform surgery...
Honda: Surgery!? Honda: If we go through the surgery will it fix me up? Doctor: Yes, however, up until now you're only throwing at 80% of your power. Naturally, if you go
through with surgery, only after you rehabilitate will you be able to throw at full power. Honda: Okay, so if I go through with the surgery right now, how long will I have to rehabilitate for? Doctor: You'll have to go through two years of rehab... Honda: N...N-No way... Honda: There's no way I can wait until I'm 30 to make it to the big leagues...
042 Chapter 2: The Comeback
043 Honda: Why... Chiaki... Honda: Why God... why did you rob me of everything? Honda: Chiaki... Honda: She's gone to heaven... Honda: I can't do it... I can't do it... Honda: I can't even take one step forward... I'm done...
044 Goro: Mornin' pops! Honda: Goro...
045 Goro: And so, if it wasn't for those guys, I would've made it all the way across! Honda: Wow, you almost did the whole thing, that's great, son. Goro: And soon I'll be able to climb all the way up the slides! Honda: Oh really... Goro: And then, when I get stronger like you, pops, I'm gonna be able to throw a hard fastball! Honda: Hey... son... Goro: Oh yeah, and Miss Hoshino came to the house and made me some curry! Honda: Heh...
046 Goro: Yea, if Miss Hoshino became my new mom, that'd be good, she's really nice. Honda: GORO! Honda: Do you remember what I was like last night? Honda: Listen up, son. Honda: I learned that I have an elbow injury...
047 Honda: If I have surgery, it can fix my elbow... Honda: But it'll take over a year of recovery before I can play again. Goro: Okay okay, but if you can play that's a good thing, right!? Goro: I know you can do it pops, I just know you can! Honda: It's impossible!
048 Honda: You probably can't understand because you're still a kid... Honda: But if you were to get an injury while you were a young player, no one's gonna be around to take
care of you! Honda: Don't make the same mistake as me, son! Honda: Today I went to the team's office to talk to the management... Honda: And because they told me that to find something outside of playing baseball quickly, I'm gonna
have to think how I'm gonna put food on the table for us...
049 Goro: That's... That's a lie... Goro: You... not being able to play baseball... Honda: You think I'm lying!? Honda: GORO!
050 Honda: Wait! Hold it! Honda: GORO! Kid: Miss Hoshino! Look! Momoko: Oooh, that's a big worm, isn't it!
051 Momoko: What's wrong, Goro? Momoko: You don't seem happy. Don't you wanna play with your friends? Goro: No, I don't. Momoko: Hm, how strange. I wonder if you have a fever.
052 Momoko: Oh, how about we play catch? I'll play with you! Goro: I don't wanna play catch! Just leave me alone! You're not my mom! Goro: Get away from me! Momoko: ... okay... Momoko: Play by yourself. Teacher: Miss Hoshino? What's wrong? Momoko: Ah, it's nothing.
053 Sign: Yokohama Marine Stars Team Office Manager #1: I see... well, Mr. Honda, thank you for coming here to tell us the news. Manager #2: It's nothing but a poison, that elbow injury... I guess there's no other choice but to
retire.
054 Honda: Yes... Manager #1: Well, concerning what you can do from now.. perhaps you can be a physical education
teacher... Honda: Hmmm... Manager #2: Hmm, well, you can't be a training coach, but I was thinking about having you become part of
our scouting department. Honda: R-Really? Honda: Please! I'd love the opportunity!
055 Man: Hmm? Man: Yo! Well, if it isn't Honda! Honda: Shigeno?
056 Shigeno: Geez, it's been a while, man. Honda: Yeah. By the way, how's your back? Shigeno: It's seen better days. I've heard that you made it to the big leagues, eh? Honda: Eh, not really. It didn't work out. Shigeno: Eh? What kind of answer is that!? Lady: Hey, look! Isn't that the Marine Star's Shigeno!? Lady #2: Who's that? Lady: What!? You don't know Yokohama's ace pitcher from the past year!? Lady #2: Oh, really? I haven't seen anything other than the J-League...
057 Shigeno: Retirement!? Honda: Yeah, I just dropped by the team's office today. Shigeno: What the hell!? An elbow injury!? Can't surgery fix something like that!? Honda: Don't you get it? Do you know how many years the team is gonna have to wait till surgery is done?
I'll be 30 by that time. Lady: Umm... sorry to bother you, but could I get an autograph...? Shigeno: What the hell is wrong with you, woman? This isn't the time! Lady: Hya.... Lady: Waaaahhh! *SOB* Man: What the heck..!? Man: Isn't that Shigeno from the Marine Stars? Man #2: Did he make that girl cry!? Shigeno: For fuck's sake...
058 Shigeno: Is this okay? Lady: Ah, thank you so much! Honda: I guess it's for the best. Honda: No one's gonna remember a guy like me, so I might as well retire. Shigeno: You stupid idiot! Shigeno: Haven't we had some good luck together!? Shigeno: Ever since high school we've been playing baseball together, and now you wanna tell me this
garbage!? It's enough to make me vomit! Shigeno: You're seriously pissing me off! Honda: Ha.. sorry man.
059 Shigeno: You need a lift? Honda: Nah, don't worry about it. I gotta kill some time before I go and pick up my kid from the park. Shigeno: Heh, I see. Shigeno: So you seriously can't play ball anymore? Honda: Yeah. I wanna play, but my body just ain't up to the task. Shigeno: Ain't up to it, huh? Shigeno: Well, there's one thing you don't have to retire from.
060 Honda: Huh? Shigeno: Well, you can always come back as a batter, y'know. Shigeno: The baseball world ain't made up of just pitchers. Shigeno: hahaha, I'm just bullshitting ya. Shigeno: During high school you were batting fourth, so why not? Shigeno: Even after 10 years you'll still be okay. With a kid to support, that might be the way to go.
061 Shigeno: See you around dude Honda: .... haha... Honda: A Designated Hitter, huh... Honda: If I was only five years younger maybe, but... Hoshino: Hey everyone! Listen up! Nap time is over!
0062 Teacher: Hey, time to wake up! Hoshino: Hey, hey, where's Goro!? Teacher: Isn't he in the toilet? Hoshino: His glove isn't here!? Principal: Whaaat!? Hoshino: If he was in an accident we're screwed! Hoshino: Yes yes, I know. I'll search everywhere for him!
063 Sign says "Honda Residence" Hoshino: Goro! Goro, are you there!? Hoshino: What do I do!? He's not in the park or at his house... what the hell happened!? Hoshino: You haven't seen a child with a glove and a baseball uniform around here, have you!? Store owner: Nope, sorry... Teachers: Bye bye!
064 Teachers: Ah, Miss Hoshino! Teachers: Was he there!? Hoshino: No... I can't find him Teachers: What do we do!? Teachers: Maybe we oughta call the police.... Hoshino: This is... this is all my fault. Hoshino: That kid, he wasn't feeling well at all, and if I had only listened to him... Honda: Umm... Honda: I'm here to pick up my kid... Principal: He's here already!?
065 Announcer: It's the 5th inning and the Giants are up to bat, with Yokohama leading 3 - 0. Announcer: Shigeno is doing a spectacular job today, it's perfect! Announcer: He's already racked up six strikeouts thus far! Honda: What the hell... that kid, leaving before I got there. Honda: Don't worry, Miss Hoshino, you can go home if you want. Honda: Goro can handle himself well, so he'll be home soon, I bet. Hoshino: But, but what about if he gets hit by a car or is kidnapped...! Honda: Well if that's the case then someone will contact me soon, right? Hoshino: But what if he drowns in a river!? Hoshino: If something like that happens, I'd.... Hoshino: I'm sorry, it's just that everything is so crazy right now... Honda: It's not your fault, Miss Hoshino. Honda: To little Goro, the shock of hearing about me having to retire from baseball was too much for
him. Honda: Honestly, both him and I can't really handle what's happening right now...
067 Person: Hello? I have your boy here, although he's a little hungry. Honda: See? Honda: President!? Hoshino: Goro! Honda: President... why do you have...!? President: Don't worry, he's just sleeping. President: He's just really tired from today. President: A little kid like that... I had no idea why he was there. President: During the evening, he came to the office all alone, you know. Honda: What...!? President: Yup, he was at the office.. he stopped right in front of it and was totally shocked.
069 President: He told us not to fire his father. President: He was just crying and crying at my feet. President: "If my father has surgery he'll be alright!" President: "Please wait until he gets surgery and is alright! Please!" he said. President: While he was crying, I could feel my heart just sink to the ground.
070 President: I could see it in his eyes that he was your son. President: He only came to save his father, that's why he came to the office. Honda: Well, at any rate... Honda: Thank you for going through so much trouble.
071 Hoshino: Goro... he really loves baseball... and his father. Hoshino: Whenever we were at the park, he said that. Hoshino: He said that when he grows up, he wanted to win a championship with you.
072 Honda: God took away Chiaki from Goro and I. Honda: And now he's trying to take baseball away from us! Honda: Is that fair!? Honda: Is it!? Shigeno: Well, you can always come back as a batter, y'know. Shigeno: The baseball world ain't made up of just pitchers. Honda: I'm... Honda: I'm not going to give up my dreams so easily! Honda: I'm going to do this! I'm not going to do this just for my kid!https://mangahelpers.com/t/itsumobasho/releases/1181[English] [Translation] Major 1 by itsumobasho2007-05-27T10:46:21+00:00itsumobashoadmin@mangahelpers.comI don't know if many people are interested in this series, but I just started reading it because some scanlators asked me if I was interested in translating for them. I'm not really interested in translating for one specific group, but I've been finding Major to be quite an interesting read. I like baseball, so reading it is actually helping me build up my Japanese baseball vocabulary. :D
At any rate, I'll be tackling this series for as long as I can. I know that there are TONS of volumes but the series seems interesting enough for me to sit down and translate all of it, time permitting. Any way, here's the first chapter. I'll be translating this regularly, so I hope you guys enjoy it.
Some notes here - Goro will always call his dad "pops" - He'll call Hoshino Momoko, "Miss Hoshino" -
第一話五郎の夢: Chapter 1: Goro's Dream
005 Teacher: Let's see here... Teacher: Yuka-chan, how about you? Teacher: What do you want to be when you grow up? Yuka: hmmm...hmmm! Well... Yuka: I wanna be like you! Teacher: Really? You want to be a teacher? Teacher: Alright, Goro! Goro: Me? But you already know, don't you?
006 Goro: I always say I wanna be a pro baseball player, like my pops!
007 Note: Badge says "Honda Goro"
008 Teacher: I see, you really love baseball, don't you? Goro: Of course I do! Teacher: Heehee, okay, do you like your teacher or baseball better? SFX: (The Kaa--- here is kind of like "... eep...") Classmate: Ah! Goro's face is turning red! He really loves you, teacher! Goro: Be quiet! Classmate: Ooooowwwwwwww! Teacher: Hey! Don't do that, Goro! Show some respect! Goro: But that guy...! Teacher: Does it hurt? Are you alright? Goro: I also like the teacher... but she's just like my mom was...
009 Yo-chan: Bye bye teacher! Teacher: See you tomorrow, Yo-chan! Student: Bye bye teacher! Teacher: Bye bye! Goro: Strike! Goro: The pitcher winds up for the third pitch....!
010 Goro: And there's the pitch! Teacher: Strike! Teacher: You'reeeee out! Goro: You got it all wrong, that hit the bullseye! Goro: That was a homerun, just now Teacher: Really? It's bad to throw it right down the middle? Goro: My mom told me before, she called it Virtua Training. Goro: If you can hit the circle on the outside, then it's a strike. But if you want two strikes, you
need to hit the triangles on the corners Teacher: ....oooh.
011 Teacher: But I don't understand why it's called Virtua Training... Teacher: Am I mistaking it for Virtual Training? Teacher: Hey, Goro... your father... Goro: He's in the big leagues. Teacher: I see... Teacher: Ah! Hey, can your teacher try batting? Goro: What!? Really!? Goro: Okay, that's fine! I'll blow three strikes past ya, teacher! Teacher (Now Momoko): Now pinch-hitting, Hoshino Momoko, ace teacher!
012 Goro: Here it comes! SFX: Crush! Goro: No... no way! Momoko: Wh-what? Wow, I really hit it... Goro: Wow, you're amazing, teacher! Momoko: Haha, well, let's go home, okay? I'll go with you Goro: No it's okay, I always go home by myself Goro: See you! Teacher: Um... Miss Hoshino... Momoko: Be careful of the cars!
013 Goro: Dang, I'm still not strong enough Goro: If even Miss Hoshino can hit my pitch... Goro: Ack! I forgot my ball! Goro: What should I do... if I go back and get my ball, the principal will be angry... Goro: Oh well! I'll do some training in the park and then get my ball! Goro: I need to be like my pops and get stronger and stronger! Goro: Whoa, that's so cool!
014 Goro: It's like a camel's hump! Honda: Haha, yeah, I guess it is! Honda: If you work at it, you'll be just like me in the future! Honda: If you wanna be strong you'll have to eat everything, even stuff you don't like. Then you'll have a strong body! Goro: .... Honda: Oh yeah, just hitting and throwning the ball is bad. Honda: You have to run, jump, and do some gymnastics. You can't throw the ball fast, you can't let it just fly off! Goro: okay, okay, I'll do that! Honda: But, you're still small so you can't do all of that yet. Honda: Go at it a little at a time, every day.
015 Goro: Ya! SFX: Running Goro: Wwwhhoa! SFX: Sliding down Woman on the right: Hey, look at that kid over there. Woman on the right: He really looks like he wants to scale that hill! Woman: Doesn't he look like a kindergarten kid? Woman: He can't climb up that hill just yet...
016 Woman on the right: Hee hee hee. Woman on the left: How adorable! Woman: Ah, he's given up and gone for the monkey bars. Woman: He's such a strange kid, not sliding down from the top of the hill... Goro: Heh heh heh! Today I got up to the 9th step, and yesterday I made it to the 6th step, so it's an
improvement of 3 steps! Goro: Alright! Today I'll do two trips on the monkey bars! To the end and then back again! Boy on the right: Hey Tecchan, here's Kazu's card. Boy on the left: Oh, I see. Danke.
017 Boy on the right: Hey Tecchan, this park is pretty open, ain't it? I just found it by accident! Tecchan: Yeah, it is. I never knew of this park because it's surrounded by all these apartments. Tecchan: Well, let's kick to our heart's content! Woman: Waah! Woman: Hey, it's dangerous to play here! Boys: Oi! Over here! Over here! Woman: Geez louis, let's go home. Girl: We oughta go home, let's play some Wii at your house, Miki. Miki: Okay...
018 Tecchan: Heh, let's have a PK shootout then Boy: Cool man. Boy: Ah... Boy: Hey, over there! Boy: That fence back there will make a good goal eh? Goro: Yes! Almost there! Goro: One more! Goro: Pops will be surprised once I tell him about this!
019 Goro: Ah...! Goro: Wuaaaaah! Goro: Ooow...
020 Tecchan: Hah...well, well. Boy on the left: Hey brat, why don't you head on home and suck on your momma's tit? Boy: Hey did you hear me? Scram! Boy on the left: Don't be a crybaby! Goro: Just now... did you guys hit me with your soccer ball? Boy on the right: Haaa? Tecchan: Yeah we did, why do you care? Goro: Damnit... and I was so close...
021 Goro: you stupid bastards! Tecchan: ..ugggh! Boys: Oi! Boy: What the hell you brat!
022 Boy: You fucker! Tecchan: I'm gonna get you for this, brat! Tecchan: I'm gonna take from you everything! Momoko: What the hell are you guys doing!? Boys: Damnit! We gotta get outta here
023 Momoko: Goro! Announcer: The Marine Star's relief pitcher has come into the game. Announcer: #44, Honda.
024 Goro: It's pops! Look mom, he's here! Announcer: On the Yokohama bench, today is the first time Honda will be throwing against big league batters. Goro's mom: Hey! If you stand, the people behind you can't watch the game! Announcer: As a counter to turn this game around, they've sent up Matsui-san as a pinch-hitter! Announcer: A lefty vs. lefty battle... Honda is going to have his hands full here. Announcer: The count is 3 - 2, in the 6th inning. (ed. note: in the Japanese text they have the numbers reversed.. they say 2 - 3... which confused the fuck out of me when I first read it)
025 Announcer: And Honda gets him to whiff on the third pitch! Goro/Goro's mom: Yes! He did it! Goro: You did it, pops! You really did it!
026 Honda: Of course, your pops is the best! Do you give up? Goro: hahah, yea yea I give up! I give up! Goro's Mom: Good game, honey. Honda: Yeah, but I wasn't that hot today. Goro: I wonder... a pro taking on a whole team is tough! Goro: The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. Honda: Where the heck did you learn such a fancy phrase? Goro: Mom... Honda: What's wrong, Chiaki?
027 Honda: Chiaki! Goro: Mom! Goro: Mom! Mom: Hang on, mom! Goro: mom! Momoko: Ah, you've come around? Goro: Mom..!?
028 Momoko: Ah, what a relief. Goro: Miss Hoshino... Momoko: Are you alright? Where does it hurt? Momoko: I'm surprised, I went to bring back your ball and I saw those bigger kids teasing you. Goro: They weren't teasing me! Goro: It was a fight! Momoko: You know fighting is bad, right? Goro: Whatever, Miss Hoshino! I hate violent kids! Goro: .... Momoko: Are you hungry? Momoko: I'll make you some curry and we'll eat together Goro: ! Goro: Yaaaaay!
029 Goro: Miss Hoshino... from her hair to her figure... she's like mom was... Momoko: How is it? Goro: It's great! It's so good! Momoko: Heehee, I'd come here every day if it's really that good. Momoko: But I'm your teacher, so I can't be your personal cook, sorry! Goro: That's okay. Goro: Usually every night I buy something from the store, Goro: because my dad always says to eat milk and fish.
030 Momoko: Oh, I see Momoko: Today your father is playing against the Shiants, so couldn't you see him on TV? Momoko: You're not watching it? Goro: Nope, not watching it. My dad isn't going to be playing, that's why. Momoko: What? But he's a relief pitcher so it's possible tha... Goro: Yeah but right now, he's a second-string player! Even if I say he's in the big leagues, he's
actually on the second string team... Momoko: .... Momoko: I... I'm sorry. I don't really know all about baseball, but when you say the big leagues... Goro: But...
031 Goro: But... My pops is gonna be in the big leagues soon! Goro: Right now he's not healthy, but he'll definitely be a big leaguer and he'll strike out that Matsui
guy again! Goro: Pops... Goro: One year ago, mom died and pops has been lonely since...
032 Goro: Then he started saying a lot of strange things... Goro: On that day, he started practicing every day, and every night. Goro: And then he got a hernia and pain around his waist... Goro: And right now.. he can't play... *sob* *sob* Momoko: ..... Goro: Sorry... you don't have to worry about it, Miss Hoshino, but... Momoko: It's okay, I'm happy that you talked to me about it. Momoko: From now on, whenever you have any trouble, just talk to me, okay?
033 Goro: You got it! Goro: Wanna watch TV? I haven't watched TV for a while! Momoko: Okay Goro: You're going down, Yokohama! Momoko: Hee, it's so nice to see how much he likes his father... Momoko: Alright, Miss Hoshino is leaving now. Momoko: I filled the bath for you, so take a bath and then brush your teeth before going to bed!
034 Momoko: Oh, and don't forget to lock the front door! Goro: Alright, alright, Miss Hoshino! Goro: I've been alone for a long time so don't worry about me! Momoko: Well, have a good night then! Goro: See you tomorrow, Miss Hoshino! Goro: It's strange... Goro: Pops always calls when he's playing an away game, but... Goro: I wanted to tell him I crossed the monkey bars, but... Goro: ... I... give.. up...
036 Goro: W...W-Who is it? Goro: Miss Hoshino!? Goro: It's a bad guy! Goro: Crap.. Goro: Waaaaaaa!
037 Nothing
038 Goro: P... Goro: Pops! Goro: What's wrong!? Aren't you at an away game until tomorrow!? Honda: Watch it! Goro: He's been drinking...!
039 Goro: .... Goro: Wh...What's wrong, pops..!? Goro: Aren't you supposed to stop drinking because of your hernia!? Honda: It's such a pain in the ass... they even said I can't make it into the big leagues...!! Honda: Hee hee hee..... Goro: WHY!? Honda: That's why it's okay for me to drink... Honda: I can't play baseball anymore!
040 Honda: Goro... you... stop playing baseball! Goro: W..WHY!? Honda: Do you want to be a guy like me, who turns 30 and loses his job and his wife!?
