Back in the mid-90s, I fell in love with a quirky, rather unbalanced Taito fighting game called Psychic Force. The game’s superb anime intro (watch it here) played a large part in sparking my interest in Japanese animation in general and it was because of this game that I first started delving into Japanese websites, even if back then slow connections and lack of support for East-Asian fonts made it all strange and mysterious.
With a fairly large fandom in Japan, a lot of doujinshi were produced for the game, including some in an official capacity. I got hold of a couple of the Broccoli anthologies and one from the now-bankrupt Shinseisha, who used to produce spin-off manga for numerous fighting games. I’ve slowly been translating bits and pieces, and now that my Japanese is good enough to actually be able to understand chapters, I thought it was time to share with the world with some scanslations! The near-future setting was, after all, 2010, so it seems timely to do this now.
Thus, here is Adziu’s Small Corner’s first scanslation, chapter 1 of the Shinseisha anthology. It’s only a very short chapter, a rather strange little gag story about a bunny, but you get some rather lovely artwork included as well. Please don’t judge Emilio too harshly, though! This isn’t how he usually behaves! XD

Thanks so much for the scanlations; I saw them at Mangafox, but the DL links are broken. Could you reupload them? It's funny, I never played PF back in the day but someone just recently got me into it somehow...
ReplyDeleteYou can download/read online at
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mangatraders.com/manga/series/8142 if you like! You do have to register, but it seems a more reliable site than mangafox and doesn't watermark.
I only got up to chapter 3 before this stalled though, haha.
Thank you very much! I hadn't been using that site, I'll have to check it out now. (I don't entirely trust mangafox not to give me a virus...)
ReplyDeleteAnd I understand how these things can stall. I had been doing some translations myself and let them fall by the wayside, and let's not even talk about my dead fanfics...
