>>286563687Happy birthday OpipiiVery good extra chapter, I wish it was included in the main manga because I often felt Akari's and Alicia's relationship was less developed than that of the other undies>Do you hold proof of a precious existence?I don't know how to even approach this question so probably not
>>286564670>Fight meYou're 100% right tho, there's something about a good 5head
>>286563687
>>286564689She really made a dude wait more then two years.
>>286565271for alicia it's worth it
>>2865652718 MARTIAN YEARS
>>286563387Seriously, who is this mysterious male that's going to ravage our Alicia

>>286564032Mogneneins
>>286563214Look at those boobs
what happened to their eyes
>>286566417>Alice beating the shit out of Aika in front of Ai
>>286566741Would humanize them too much.
>>286566444>hitting Ai as she tries to help>setting the gondola on fire>throwing a grenade president at them
>>286563687Thanks OP. Happy birthday!>Do you hold proof of a precious existence?Yeah, some stuff I've made is out there.
>>28656320110/10
>>286563454>time doesn't pass despite years going by is because Alicia wished it to be so
>>286563675Don't like Athena like this, frankly Alicia's looking great, though
>>286563687Thanks OP I have a cheap, unused notebook I take off my shelf and look at from time to timeAnd happy birthday, man
>>286565635
Owari da.This was a comfy dump. Allow me to celebrate with my best Aria image.
>>286567859It's the cats working their magic. Cait Sith bows down to Alicia, after all.
>>286563080Reclutamento di dipendenti>Un numero d'offerta della gente>18 anni o più vecchio>C'è un intervista l'esame pratico>Contributo uniforme>C'è un periodo di addestramento>Vivo - in possibilitàDo you have what it takes to work for aria company, anon?
>>286568130Martian cats are too strong.
>>286568225I can speak Spanish, but not Italian
I will miss Neo-Venezia
>>286563454Akari was seriously a good apprentice to Alicia. I get the feeling though when times are this good>>286563687Thanks and Happy Birthday but you're not getting any embarrassing comments from me.
>>286563544AKARI LOVEAKARI NUMBER ONE
>>286565169>I often felt Akari's and Alicia's relationship was less developed than that of the other undiesthey are just tackled differently, with Akari/Alicia the focus is on the moments they spend together while Aika/Akira and Alice/Athena are more about the nature/backbone of their relationship
>>286570524Akari calling Alice, Aria and Aika sluts
>>286563687>Do you hold proof of a precious existence?a bunch of trinkets and things from irl, and countless images on my pc. sometimes this feeling hits and I take a screenshot of whatever is on screen to make sure I'll remember the fun I had. happy birthday OP, I hope you keep rowing into your future. here's a little something to keep you going. (I hope that anon don't mind me copying his 4chan company design)>>286565255hehe
>>286571708That is absolutely lovely, anon. Thank you.
>>286489412
>>286563230If she was planning to retire all along it means she chose an airhead person to inherit the company, kept her in the dark about the responsibilities she's going to receive soon and didn't train her to run a company for the longest time.
>>286563687>Don't forget to wish your humble OP a happy birthdayAfter you didn't wish ME a happy birthday last month? Just because I never mentioned it at all?
>>286574511Happy late birthday, anon!
>>286574511Belated happy birthday, anon-tachi!
>>286566658>>286566617>>286566581>>286566444>>286566417Jobmeya
>>286566617>>286566658>Alicia has the power of Aquarion and Eva at thesame timeIf only Alicia was in SRW Z3
>>286567859Truly the daughter of a Goddess
>>286566581>Nine head dragon flash followed by My special arts No.2Holy shit, Athena is Takeru Satoh
>>286573082>didn't train her to run a company for the longest time.Always made me wonder if Alicia taught her how to do the bookkeeping and such off-screen.
>>286574511Happy birthday
But what is the significance of chestnuts?!
>>286577170I think that happened mostly in the period between Akari becoming a prima and Alicia leaving for good.
>>286563687Happy birthday! Thanks for dumping!
>>286572737hehe
>>286578971You could post this one after every other chapter, really. But this is pretty much how I felt about the manga when I finished it.
>>286563675Orange Planet, Himeya, Aria, Aria, Himeya, Orange Planet....It's like an Undine sandwich!
Akari is STACKED
>>286579534Manhome genes
>>286579218So Alice and Athena are the top of the group
>>286579829And Alicia and Akari are the ultimate bottoms
>>286580560Alicia blue balled a dude for over two years. She is no bottom.
>>286563687Thanks OP, happy birthday!
>>286563080Could Alicia only afford one apprentice or can she only teach one at a time? Lots of other companies have more Undines
>>286582518Aria is a small company open for passion, I doubt she can afford to train two undines. The two gondolas alone must cost a fortune.
>>286563687thanks, OP, I hope you had a good birthday!Was that the final special feature chapter?
>>286583184Nope.
>>286583481Sorry you didn't have a nice birthday :(
>>286584635Not that, the other thing.
>>286568225The language is terrible here but it says>"a number of people offer" I have no idea what they mean but the manga says cheerful>18 or older>there's an interview (and) a practice exam>uniform contribution (you pay for it)>training period (common for all jobs)>live - possible (menaing the applications are open)
>>286585170Maybe that last one is saying boarding can be offered?
>>286585170>>286585293I was thinking the same thing, that it's more about the prospective trainee possibly getting a room on-site.
>>286563675This image is set in the exact place where gondolas are moored in Saint Mark's Square in the real world. That church in the background is on the island of Greater St George.
>>286585293You're most likely right...they can live in the company house.
>>286585534Voglio vivere lì anch'io...
stop speaking in pasta
>>286573082and Aika, all the rowing to become a manager.
>>286585691sus
>>286556462
>>286586467Ai is so cute.
>>286586467Yummy
>>286586467das ding
>>286582454The birthday skeleton seems like a nice person

Done. This chapter was a special feature released for the movie Aria the Crepuscolo. There was a third Aquaria, released for the movie Aria the Benedizione, but it hasn't been translated yet. I can post the raws in this thread later, but it's 70+ pages long, and I can't provide a translation. Please tell me what (you) would prefer.Do you have an irregular talent?See you tomorrow!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmFdN2P4l48
>>286588276>>286588288Athena is a descendant of Fuuka!
>>286589370Thanks OP>Do you have an irregular talent?I can bend my left thumb in a strange way
>>286589197the prima chapters are so goodit's really a shame that aika's isn't translated and i'm absolutely not good enough to just blast it out in a thread>>286589370is it a full 70? goddamn. i didn't do a proper count but it really just kept going. i guess alice's chapter is about the same
>>286589370thanks. Eh, no harm in posting it (if you have the time). We dekinai anons can at least appreciate Amano's gorgeous art, what's not to like.
>>286588288Athena schizo moment?
And as >>286589116 points out, lots of nice rumps, too.>>286589370Thanks for posting, OP. This was such a nice chapter. I love the Orange Planet trio (and Ayumi, too). They were being very cute. Everyone was, really.>Please tell me what (you) would prefer.The incompleteness of not having the next chapter posted would bother me somewhat, even if there is no translation. But I've seen the movie, so I know what happens, anyway.
I know Akari is the main character but to me Alice is the best written one
>>286589684she is best girl after all
>>286588326That doesn't look like a fish-shaped island
>>286588373>Athena GloryQuite the name
>>286589677The 8th masterpiece volume just came out on december 2025, and it's basically a compilation of bonus material, including all the aquarias, some amanchu crossovers, and a new chapter. Everything but the first 2 aquarias that were already posted is untranslated.
>>286588468Time to get both on the bed
i'm going to fight the anon from last thread who said he didnt like long haired athena.
>>286590082Come at me bro!
>>286588276The brown 5head!
>>286588305I always thought the ships look very good considering how little scifi design Amano does in general, but now that I look at it, she probably just drew a cat as usual and stylized it with scifi knobs. It has legs and a face and stuff, it's just another fucking cat goddammit
>>286590451Does it have an anus?
>>286588738Spoopy Alicia
>>286590708You just know
>>286589777>and a new chapterI saw the contents of the 8th volume and I don't think there was anything new
>>286591431Apparently, rather than a new chapter, it's more of a short manga amano did about the aria pilgrimage tour.https://comic.mag-garden.co.jp/aria/news.html
>>286591503yeah it was 6 pages of picrel, nothing terribly important
>>286591818I WANT TO READ IT THO
>>286590300Don't test me, buddy!!
>>286592154I'm not your buddy, friend!
>>286590082He's mathematically right.
>>286588276dang, what time doesn't do to an art style.
>>286592809I, for one, like her new art
>>286588583possibly the greatest page in this series
>>286588583I want to pea in Athena's pod...
>>286588697whenever the gondola association appears they seem shady as hell
>>286589286>>286589304wait, so the hair is fake? when she's on stage she's just wearing hair extensions?
>>286589370I like leaving it unfinished to pretend this series is still going on.
>>286590082ready whenever you are, bitch.
>>286593249I'm glad I'm not the only anon who feels like that sometimes
>>286588751Dekkai Alicia butt
>>286593249Wouldn't be the first series in this daily chain to be like that...
>>286593249And then in some time we just start over.
>>286589241>>286589271The mangaka is flexing their art muscles again.>>286589370Thanks good chapter can't really help on what to post next as a first time reader. What did the author make after Aria?
Special Navigation: AQUARIA III>>286593819Oh, I'm posting the author's next manga, Amanchu, when I finish with Aria. With a small interlude of Imitation Crystal.
Will OP storytime CCC later?
>>286589370Thanks OP>Please tell me what (you) would preferPlease dump it!>Do you have an irregular talent?Many such things
>>286563687I'm late, but happy birthday!>>286589370>>286593936Thanks, if someone was able to translate it, I'd offer to clean and typeset.
>>286588399CUTE!
>>286594169it would be sort of a shame to put out a TL on these raws, wouldn't it?
>>286594617There are other raws for aquaria III, but they need editing on the outlines
>>286589370Thanks OP I've been told several times that I'm a great speaker
>>286594005Huh, didn't know they wrote Undine this way.
Done. Hope you enjoyed it. Tomorrow I'll post One Fine Day. >>286594048That's my plan.
>>286595031So Aika's special navigation backstory never got translated how come? I thought Aria was pretty popular and the scans look beautiful too
>>286595165The group that usually did them disappeared from the face of the earth, and nobody stepped up
>>286595207taken out by the gondola association
You know I've been telling myself I wouldn't need to watch the anime and I'd be fine with just reading the manga, but I think I'm losing that mental battle.
Now that Aria is officially over, I can finally reveal that I want to FUCK Alice Carroll
>>286595264If it expands on the timeskip as much as people make it sound, I'll definitely have to watch it
>>286588969While Akari will always be my number 1, I'm willing to admit that Alice and Athena are the best mentor-apprentice duo. It is probably because their autism is much easier to personally relate to than the other characters, so their interaction and the lessons that come with them feel much more meaningful. I cried the most during Alice's promotion in the main manga and second most for this recap.
>>286594897most of the italian and english terms that aria borrows are typically in kanji for the meaning with furigana as pronunciationaqua is usually written 火星, manhome is 地球, so on. same with prima/pair/single
>>286594124SURPRISE YURI ASSAULT
>>286594630Aika, do not present your ass to Akira like that
>>286593964is that akira's master?
>>286594106hime x
>>286596684Undine butte is made to be presentable
>>286596703Probably, also Aika's mother I imagine
>>286595264I started the anime expecting a faithful adaptation to the manga and got pretty disappointed. It makes a lot of unecessary changes (I'm assuming it's because they couldn't adapt the Aqua volumes) which worsen many moments from the manga but it tries to compensate that with the animation and music
>>286594197leg
>>286594865Aika got the hardest prima test, by far
>>286596809I think the anime and the manga should be seen as complimentary to each other, and that's part of the reason why Amano canonized Ai in the final chapter. The anime shuffles the stories, and skips some, but in exchange expands some others and has some solid original plots. By the time of origination it's basically as good or even better than the manga imo.
>>286596875as expected of himeya's heir!
>>286596950I guess it's a matter of taste and what you expect from an anime adaptation, personally I couldn't care less about the anime original scenes and just wanted the scenes in the manga adapted correctly.Idk if that makes me a manga purist, but even the smallest changes bothered me. Like during the masked carnivale, in the manga you have Aika and Alicia explain the event to Akari. But in the anime it's Akari giving the explanation to Ai and I thought it was very lame, mainly because discovering the culture and locations of Neo-Venezia alongside Akari is one of the core element of ARIA. It might be something most people won't care but I do.Another thing I remember is at the end of the new year party, in the manga you have Akari falling asleep leaning on Alicia's shoulder but again in the anime they change that for no reason and have Ai sleep on Akari's lap or something. I don't remember whether they left out Akatsuki wrapping his muffler around Akari in that scene but either way it didn't sit right with me.There were bigger issues that those but I just wanted to emphasize that even minor shit that most people might not care could ruin the adaptation for me.
>>286597586That reminds me, a thing I really did dislike of the anime is that they removed most of the shipping between Akari and Akatsuki, and all of the Woody/Alice scenes.
>>286597586But for instance there was the chapter about Alice's self rule, that was greatly expanded in the anime, to good results.
Thanks for the dump OPI probably won't follow the Amanchu dump because I didn't like the anime that much my recollection is that it started okay but latter half was just dealing with some random ghost or some shit, very Amano-like in hindsight
>>286597678I just noticed that in the pic Alice has a hair (pube) (mine) next to her mouth
>>286594479Did she just bend over that pipe?
>>286594466>Move like a NinjaYeah, the "normal one" alright
>>286599057Imagine that body mass sitting on you
I feel like Ar Tonelico was somewhat inspired by Aria. Just from the first game opening:Exibit A: sheeps with sci-fi flying wheels.Exibit B: floating islandsExibit C: similar patternsExibit D: bootses
>>286594931That's plagiarism
>>286599071Akira "The Beast" Ferrari
I am going to work my way through Aquaria III with my mediocre nihongo ability. Anything to get closer to my goal of marrying Aika.
>>286601359ganbare
>>286596620The best kind of assault.>>286596684Aika, do present your ass to Akira like that.>>286597586I kind of get you. I'm also a bit of a purist in that regard, and out of the changes they made, the shuffling of stories/chapters annoyed me the most.But the anime also adds a lot with the soundtrack alone, being able to hear Akari's hahi~s, and some of the original stuff (the delivery to one of the original, long dead settlers in the first anime, for example) being decent (though I usually don't care for this sort of stuff, either).I didn't like the Akari/Akatsuki ship nor the Woody/Alice one, so I kinda don't care that those are toned down/gone. But from a purist's standpoint, I get that these changes weren't "necessary".
>>286600277I had a walk and I had a think. And I feel like Aria itself is directly or indirectly inspired by Ah My Goddess visually. As far as I know (barely saw the thing honestly) Goddess was a big step in modern bishojo "genre". The way it draws hyper detailed super beautiful girls was very reminiscent of Aria. And it used the patterns from exhibit C too (pic).
>>286588326Some of us may live to see the demise of Venice.
>>286589370Thanks OP.>can post the rawsPlease, do it.>Do you have an irregular talent?Forget everything I read, saw or think in 5 minutes.
>>286597678Amano really likes to insert magical realism and urban fantasy into her otherwise down to earth manga. I don't mind it, myself.
>>286601639You must believe in Mose
>>286601446Alicia could probably pass off as Bell and K1's descendant
I wanna say that only /u/fags don't like the akari/akatsuki ship, but that would be needlessly inflamatory.
>>286563042YOUR OAR IS THE OAR THAT WILL PIERCE THE SEAS
>>286563080Me on my Love Quest.
>>286563110Why are these old men in charge of managing all the lovely young girls?
>>286563160a truly impressive awawa
>>286563214She's definitely more 'developed' here than in AQUA.
>>286573082That's how things are done in the Aria company, anon. Do you want to defy tradition?
>>286563333
>>286563372I love Athena's M mouth
Do we get to know if Alicia ever has any children?
>>286563454>alicia's stand is The World
>>286563372Athena is so cute.
>>286589370>but it hasn't been translated yetThat's surprising. I can translate it if you guys want.
>>286563502>>286563522>>286563544I work in mental healthcare from time to time, and this sentiment has been useful more than once.
>>286563637the curse has been broken...
>>286603697Well, it already got posted in the thread, but I'm afraid it'll probably archive before you manage to do a proper greentext tl.It's a lot of pages, after all.
>>286603595Because Aquan society is a utopia
>>286603760Undines should have self representation!
>>286563713Agreed with the hair part.
>>286603776Okay. They association will begin taxing them accordingly.
>>286563675They should have been barefoot
>>286603816All undines should be all the time
>>286565169>Very good extra chapter, I wish it was included in the main manga because I often felt Akari's and Alicia's relationship was less developed than that of the other undiesIn a way it is, now that the masterpiece vol. 8 includes it.

>>286588664I wonder who this gossipy straight long hair undine is. She's cute.
>>286589048I really like the outfit with all the straps and shit
>>286589241This page is fucking beautiful. Maybe in contention for my favorite Aria page.
>>286604107She gets caught on a nail wearing that her head's gonna pop off like a firework
>>286604059Same, and I agree.
>>286593213I think so. In Crepuscolo her hair is longer, but nowhere near as huge.
>>286604010A daring synthesis.
>>286603675>Alicia burned someone's mansion
>>286593936>I'm posting the author's next manga, AmanchuNice, the anime left a good impression on me when I watched it. Looking forward to it
Hey, how come nobody told me the final Goldfish Kingdom chapter finally came out?You can find it here:>>286604732>>286604732>>286604732
>>286603577I don't know man, I just think most of the side cast is less interesting than the undines
>>286603577As much as I like Akari and Alicia together I must admit that Akatsuki is the perfect man for Momiko. Someone as naive and vulnerable as her needs a strong and ferocious man who would protect her from creeps and illegal aliens.
>>286605557I agree, they have pretty good chemistry and I like their relationship. On the other hand I always thought the Aika and Al ship seems forced. They don't seem to have anything in common or have any other reason to like each other, they just randomly decide they do. Sure that happens but it seems unnecessary to include in the manga.
Damn, Aika,
>>286589370>>286595031Thank you for posting Aria! The anime is very special to me. Manga felt great too although I can't really feel as strong emotions as when watching anime for the first time. But that's on me. Looking forward to Amanchu and such.
>>286606918I like their relationship, but I have to admit that I am incredibly biased, since I am very fond of both characters and also generally just love oneshota relationships.
>>286604407And their dog too
>>286603940She is named after a goddess, after all
>>286563311Get a room already.
>>286604222i wish we could have more Anzu.
>>286608589These side-Undines are great. Atora, Anzu, Ayumi, and this one >>286604059, too.
>>286593964HOLY ASS
>>286606918I like how the rich ojou with a strong personality went with an average manlet instead of some rich gigachad, it makes her more likable.
>>286609029Well, Al has been one smooth motherfucker, actually.
