Scanslation release! Psychic Force doujin anthology chapter 4!

Can it be? Yes! After a gap of over three years, I've finally restarted my little scanslation project. I've done other bits and pieces around the net since, but this has always been my pet project I meant to go back to: the official doujinshi collection for the first Psychic Force game.

This fourth chapter is a cute little episode from the lives of the good guys, centred on my favourite character, Emilio. It's a great place to start if you're new to the series, though I also recommend chapter three.

Previous releases can be found here, though I think that their links have likely long expired.

Without further ado, then, here is the release:

Psychic Force Shinseisha Doujinshi Anthology vol. 1 chapter 4: A Reason to Fight.

Also previous chapters re-uploaded: Chapter 1 (1. 2.), Chapter 2 (1. 2.), Chapter 3 (1. 2.)

Release number 3!

Urrrrgh, I’m happy to be shot of this horrible, horrible chapter. Horrible to translate, that is. It was written in incredibly complicated language, using obscure kanji at every opportunity. At least I saw a whole lot of characters I haven’t encountered before. But I suspect I’ll very, very rarely see them used again. The mangaka was just showing off, really.

Still, it’s translated now, and actually reading it back I find it quite fun. Not characters you’re going to see very often, and more of Wong being evil, so check it out!

Adziu's Small Corner's second release!

My second release from the Psychic Force Shinseisha anthology is one of the cutest one-shots I’ve ever read, and one of the reasons I wanted to do this at all. It features Emilio, a little egg and a particularly sociopathic Wong. This is a much better introduction to the series and its characters (well, two of them) than the first chapter, and one I’d recommend anybody read. It’s not the…LEAST cheesy thing ever, but I find it adorable.

Psychic Force Shinseisha chapter 3 released!

New scanslation project: Psychic Force official doujinshi anthologies

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
