Just so everyone can suffer as I do

Site of Mandarin scanlations of Monochrome Factor, running up to issue 39 as of this posting.

Need. Translations. Now.

Oh god. I need to have Shisui's characterization! I need more of Lulu so I can write proper femslash for her and Aya! Because Aya rocks so hard!

*goes to gnaw on her own liver*

*sparkles some more*

I don't know where there might be Japanese scans, but the Wikipedia site has all the name kanji.

Very approximate translation of the Chinese Issue 29

P1 Kou flies through the darkness

P3 Kou: “That’s strange… It seems that lately, the Kokuchi…”

P4 Kou sticks something into Kokuchi
Kou: “Have increased in strength!? Re… release!”
Kou is in pain.
Kou: “Or is it me?”

P5 Kou: “Or is it the same on both sides? No matter what, I won’t welcome it!”

P6 Kou pants.

P7 Kou bites the Kokuchi.

P9 Kou: “Ah… This time it has drained / damaged a lot of my energy. It hurts… I really shouldn’t have come alone…”

P10 Kengo: “What spirit place [?] are we going to today?”
Shirogane: “No, we won’t go to any such places today. To increase efficiency, I think we should all sit down to have a chat.”
Aya: “But why aren’t we meeting up at Kengo’s place?”
Kengo thinks: “Has my place become the default meeting spot now?”
Akira: “Because we can’t contact Kou and we don’t know what’s going on with him. Let’s go and see.”
Aya wonders why they are going to check up on Kou.
Akira: “No… no big deal. I just feel a little worried… Kou? What the?”

P11 Akira: “Is this blood?”
Aya: “Has something gone wrong with his work?”
Kengo: “Kou would not be defeated by that type!”
Akira: “Kou!”

P12 Akira: “Kou!”
Kou: “Hmmm? Akira? And everyone…”
Kengo: “What’s happened?”

P13 Kou: “Ahaha, sorry to scare you like this. I was bored, so I went to search for the crack/weak spot [?]. But I was negligent, and was injured by the Kokuchi. To have you guys see me like this…”
Kengo: “Let’s get you to a hospital!”
Kou: “There are many reasons why I can’t go to a hospital. I’ve stitched up the wounds in my abdomen and arm. I’m used to this sort of injury. It’s all right.”
Akira: “I will bring the Master here.”
Kengo: “We’ll leave Kou in your care, Shirogane.”

P14 Shirogane: “Understood.”
Kengo: “The Master? The one at the Ageing shop/bar?”
Akira: “He has healing powers and will help Kou for sure. I’ll be back soon.”
Aya: “I’ll come too.”
Kengo: “Huh? Me too!”

P15 Shirogane: “Kou, did you just say you were injured by the Kokuchi?”
Kou: “What about it?”
Shirogane: “For someone as strong as you to be injured by the Kokuchi… What happened?”

P16 Kou: “I’m telling the truth. I was injured by the Kokuchi. They have become stronger. And… um… nothing.”

P17 Kou turns over and thinks to himself: “And I was deceiving myself so I wouldn’t perceive it, but now I see the cruel reality. Even though the enemy is only the Kokuchi, unless I transform, I cannot defeat them. Even after I transformed, it wasn’t perfect. I am nearing a hopeless end.”

P18 Kou: “Say, who’s the Master? I only know of one person with healing powers.”
Someone: “It’s someone you haven’t contacted in a long while. He owns a bar in the town.”

P20 Girl [Mayu? The Kanji looks different to that in Wikipedia] sobs: “They’ve been saying he hasn’t looked well in a while. When I came today, he had collapsed on the counter. They say it’s anemia, but it looks more like he’s in a coma. The ambulance just came to take him to hospital.”
Akira talks on mobile phone: “Ok, understood. We’ll leave Kou with you. Talk to you later.”
Aya: “What did Shirogane-san say?”

P21 Akira: “He says the Master’s collapse probably has to do with the speed of the invasion/corrosion [I’m guessing it’s about the barrier]. We’ll go see him at the hospital tomorrow. Shirogane says he has a little healing power to help Kou. He will do his best for Kou.”
Aya: “Really?”
Kengo: “Hmm”

P22 Kengo: “Akira, will Kou and the Master be ok?”
Akira: “How should I know!? …But we don’t know how long it would take for Shirogane to heal Kou, considering the [low] level of Shirogane’s healing powers.”
Kengo: “But how is it that Kou was defeated by the Kokuchi?”
Akira: “I can’t believe it. Maybe it’s because of the invasion of shadow / darkness, and the Kokuchi have grown stronger.”
Kengo: “Really?”

P23 Aya: “Kou-san is injured. The Master collapses for some unknown reason. Shirogane-san is helping Kou-san, so he is out of action. Are all the adults all out of action? Even so, we must stop the invasion / corrosion [of the barrier?].”

P24 Things just seem to go from bad to worse.
Kengo: “So… What are we to do?”

This is quite a literal, word-for-word translation. I think if I read more of the English scans, I'd be able to make it flow better. If you like, I'd be happy to try another issue or two, either in the next few days or this weekend, depending on how I go with my RL workload.

I'm getting into this. IMO Kou would be hot if he didn't perve. ^_^

Eeeeeeeee! *dances around* Thank you so much!

I am totally cool with literal translations, really, this is wonderful. If you feel like doing more that would be absolutely fantastic!

*grins* Kou really is pretty hot, but yeah he so often manages to ruin it. Silly boy.
