Quite understandable, really.

[1] Which are you, Silver, Pro or HE? /
I'm HE.
[2] I wish you could be told apart easily like our systers.
[3] Don't you have a label on your body? /
God! Do you have a label?
[4] I have one inside.
/ (What do you mean, "inside" !)
[5] ....i'm sure there's a man inside him.
/
I bet you have a label somewhere on your body.
Take off your clothes.

Just to be clear, I wasn't suggesting that this story involves a colony ship. Actually details in the story point against that, to me. The similarity would be a society that doesn't realize the true nature of their world.

The really wicked part of "Orphans of the Sky" was the social commentary Heinlein sneaked in to suggest that we might not know the true nature of our world, either.

As soon as I get home, I'll fix that page. It's the last one so I can just repost that without breaking the ordering...

As for the story, there's a lot about it I love, but what really gets me is the last line. Where you this kind of story would usually have some sort of statement about how the main character is the only one who'll remember her, you get the opposite - he's already given up on her. He couldn't keep up with her when she was around, and he has even less chance when she's gone.

See, that just goes to show that two readers tend to interpret even a simple text with radical variations. To me, that last sentence implied that he was aware that the "brainwashing effect" would completely expunge Mizuho from his memory.

(Erroneously posted as the start of a separate thread, too - will someone oblige by zapping that thread?)

Oh, I do agree that it could be read that way, but even if that's it, he's resigned to it - he's making no effort to fight it. I think it's intentionally written to make it ambiguous as to whether there's an active suppressing of awareness of the outside world, or whether it's just the old group mentality doing its thing- "the weirdo girl is gone, and good riddance".

He seems to have some sort of obsession with architecture (as do some other mangaka like Nihei Tsutomu or Katsuhiro Otomo) but then again, lots of mangaka have some weird fetish for structures (guns, cars, bikes, tanks, breast fat tissue, etc).

Love his work. Would love to see more, esp. the stories involving aliens.

As a quick reminder, I did a "translation" of another of his stories:

This one was a lot easier!

I quite like these quirks that a lot of artists have. Hayao Miyazaki has his airplanes, as does Mohiro Kitoh (although Miyazaki likes the propeller-driven ones more, and Kitoh the modern jets). Otomo's cityscapes are quite mind-boggling.

Awatake's style is sort of reminescent of Masamune Shirow's. Shirow also has the architecture thing going, and Awatake's characters also look vaguely like older Shirow art.

And here's the promised corrected final page.

Should be "clichéd."

This comic appears to be highly similar to Megazone 23, except more sci-fi and less 80s.

1000 GET!

Nice stuff. No comment on my own work, of course. ; )

Yeah...some of the pages are quite hard to read.

Great! I feel wonderful!

bump for awsome (ﾟ∀ﾟ)

Well, that one is about assigning the Eva characters cutesy nicknames. Puchieba is... medoi...

Yes, very good.

The doujinshi itself is by Kenichi Sonoda

> hentai

"porn"

That image isn't by Mori. Also, the doujinshi itself features work by many artists, one of which is Kenichi Sonoda.

I demand an Emma x Hakim doujinshi. Preferably vanilla.

>>1662 Can you even use doujinshi and vanilla together?? But damn, this needs translating!

>1667
I ment more in the sense of mild and not super dirty hentai, if the term vanilla can be applied to that I'm really not sure.

>1662
I've read some. It wasn't vanilla. It was Hakim's very dirty fantasy of what he'd like to do to Emma.

Can someone post a link to the volume 15 raw? the website in >>3694 says it's up somewhere in the net.

>>3711
Book 2, The Vampire Ball, was released by Cinebook in english, here are the two pages from their website.

They match the previously translated pages pretty good.

>>3712
I just wish Cinebook would have a schedule, or if they worked through the books in order, so I know which one comes out next or if they will finish doing all books.

Voices: Cheers!!
SFX: *clink*

Guy: Hm? Medoi-san, do you not have a glass?
Medoi: This is okay for Medoi (fail translation)

Girl: No it's not, Medoi-san. You should drink your Guinness properly in a glass.
Girl: Here, look at this. Such a creamy and airy taste.
Medoi?: Because it's abisu.

Girl: To?aki-san, is this okay?
Voice: Oh, that's fine. Is drinking from a bottle okay? (fail)

That is chock full of errors.

The guy probably shouldn't give himself a tripcode if he doesn't know words like "Toshiaki" or "Yebisu".
