Chapter 2: The Hitman's Outfit>Meet “the Killing Machine” Owaru Endou: the cold-blooded and strongest hitman of a massive underworld organization, who has decided to retire out of the blue. His reason? To stan his favorite underground idol with his head held high! But old habits die hard, especially for a man whose hands are stained with blood. Can Owaru truly shed his identity to live the ultimate fan life of concerts, meet and greets, and picture lotteries—even when his past comes knocking?Previous thread >>287286686We're switching to the official translations until chapter 10, from then on we'll go back to the scanlations. I'll make mention of any differences in translation I notice.
>>287308400
>>287308407
>>287308418 I may not last long with this official translation
>>287308430If you couldn't tell, page 3 was originally translated as "I'm off to do some supporting"
>>287308444
>>287308460Endou's thoughts were originally "Me? Cute?"
>>287308473
>>287308485
>>287308496
>>287308500
>>287308509
>>287308521
>>287308530
>>287308539
>>287308547>>287308565Pardon my retardation
>>287308570
>>287308578Ugh.The headband says Koume and the fan translation was "I will have no more regrets!"
>>287308589
>>287308596
>>287308603There's a weird difference across these two pages.For the previous page, the Fan TL is more like>As if something has been holding me downAnd on this page>Could it be the suit wasn't protecting me, but holding me down?It implies it was physically holding him down more than metaphorically as in the official TL.
>>287308637
>>287308648Instead of public nuisance, this page originally said>It'll be a pink ticket situation!Along with a TL note explaining it's slang for fans who cause trouble
>>287308666
>>287308679Kaorin cute.
>>287308687
>>287308694Last page.Small difference here, Endou says "This is my uniform" in the fan TL.
>>287308709As an anon in the previous thread, I forgot the chapter extras. So here's last chapter's.
>>287308725And I'll post the contents page, for a taste of what's to come.Tune in tomorrow for one of my favourite chapters.
…and maybe tomorrow I’ll post it a bit later, this might’ve been too far outside of american hours
>>287308772no thanks for posting this I picked it up
>>287308725That's unsanitary, you know.
Could he marry buns and just continue supporting Kaorin(as she makes it big)?
>>287308952You don't understand. All idols are pure, that means they have no germs. Touching her hand means your hand can't get dirty either.
>>287309313Marriage shouldn't get in the way of supporting your oshi
>>287310336To do that he needs better cover as a normalfag, he needs to marry buns. As long as he can keep her batshit under control they would make a perfect fake normalfag couple and nobody would suspect a thing.
>>287308460She needs correction !!
>>287308400>official translations until chapter 10, from then on we'll go back to the scanlationsTranslation for volume 3 comes out on June 26th.
>>287311485Yes, Volume 2 ends at chapter 10, which should be posted on the 15th this month should nothing go wrong.Currently the scanlations are up to chapter 18.
>>287308407>>287308418Always nice to see professionals get ready.
>>287308509HERO!
>>287308530Or not
>>287311898Where do you see a scanlation beyond chapter 15? I can only find official chapter translations for 16-20.
>>287308589Based.
>>287308679Mirin'
>hey, what's that song Stan about>oh, you know, being a big fan>oh yea, then im a huge BTS Stankpop retards are brain damaged enough to begin with, to miss the most obvious song of all time that has 0 subtext and is 100% overt in its meaning is just annoying as all fuckkill every twittoid who uses the term
>>287308603>>287308637Kek, his liquid metal shirt and bulletproof suit has to be fucking heavy. And this autist only wears that.>Holding me downStill a bit metaphorical but I like the wording being vague. I wouldn't say the suit combo that's saved his life wasn't "protecting" him though. But now it is a hinderence.
>>287308400thanks for the recommendation anon this seems very fun
>>287312139I was assuming they were scanlations because we're still waiting for volume 3. But that made me realise it goes up to 20, when I thought the most recent chapter was 18.Can't find any versions of chapter 19-20 online besides the official sources. quite the predicament.
>>287312767Why did Dido do it, bros?
>>287312999Where's the predicament?
>>287313409I don't like paying for things.Though, in this case I like the manga enough that I'll probably end up puchasing them.
>>287308400>>287309313usually this kind of development feels tacky but in this case it was very clearly set up from the start.
>>287310058>all idols [..] have no germsuh oh...
>>287308679Can I achieve this natty?
>>287314101ok, that's a best girl
>>287314101>>287314169She's sexy and fun but Kaori's adorableness is about as powerful.
>>287314270>>287314169thematically, she has no chance... but she is actually first girl, for whatever little that is worth these daysI like her a lot but the story needs both her and Endo to be saved by Kaorin
ok OP I'll read it, made me kekthanks for the dump
Thanks OP!
>>287308738Thank you for posting.
bump for reading
bump for anon reading
>>287308772Daijoubu!
>>287311898Good to know
>>287313054She was sick of having bleach in the bathroom sink all the time.
>>287308400>Owaru EndouBit on the nose, innit? Thanks for dumping, I'm enjoying this so far. Reminds me of Gokushufudou.
Will there be romance or is it comedy all the way?
>>287327103yea, me and cleaner-chan are going to be married
>>287327132Congrats.>Sakura's secret account that she only lets me follow
>>287327293oh, you know Gujrapesh? He loves to AI generate fakes and chat with donators. Thanks for financing our meals.
>>287327313Oh? Takes one to know one.
>>287327313Or it's just some dude who's part of the PR in the background.
I hate you /a/ why did you have to dump an interesting and fun manga. Now I've caught up with the latest chapter and I want more.
>>287329256The next chapter comes out in five weeks.
>>287329256Try some other Harta manga.
>>287316491np anon, glad you're enjoying it. I’ll dump more later if this thread doesn’t die a tragic /a/ death.
Chapter 3: The Hitman's PhotoGood job keeping the thread alive, fellas.
>>287330778
>>287330787
>>287330792
>>287330804
>>287330814The big TL difference this chapter is the scanlation refers to th photos as instax, a reference to the disposable camera commonly used to tke them.I'm not an idolfag, so I don't know if that's something the scanlation group made up or if it's a common term.
>>287330833More importantly, Kaorin Cute
>>287330846
>>287330856

>>287330946
>>287330958
>>287330972
>>287330987
>>287330997Fan TL was Kaorin Fan instead of Stan
>>287331014
>>287331026Kek
>>287330958This seems excessive. Just rob the camera or the film and it will be over. The guy will forget it with time.

>>287331106I love this spread
>>287331178And the extras.Tune in tomorrow for Endou's life as a wage slave
>>287331130Wasn't certain if it was significant enough to mention, but Kaorin's line is a lot less intimate in the scanlation. >Please just look at me!Don't know if I'm schizoing out, but hey.
>>287331048Well if you're already killing 5 people may as well make it 6
>>287331203Thank you for posting!
>>287331106This is my ship and I know its a sinking ship but still this is my ship.
between this and finding Idol x Idol, I feel my brain turning to mush.then I listen to 1 idol song and I'm questioning everything
>>287331106This manga is great man.
>>287334595Because it's so dogshit, right? I mean neither of those manga even tey to hide how dogshit the music actually is.
>>287335789It really is dogshit and the whole performance IRL is so beyond plastic that it's insane how much they spout "idols make dreams and hopes come true"Babymetal is the only one I can stomach and even then it's only their collab songs because just having some girls in dresses do really unnatural dancing triggers fight or flight responses.
I don't know what this is but picked the fuck up.
>>287331106Just realised that, since we can see both of his shoes in the bottom right, he must've drawn the happy face on especially for the one he flung.
>>287331119I don’t know why it tickles me so much that he and the bodyguard are on a name basis with each other.
>>287337936Welcome on-board!
>>287308496>>Not even 12.7mm rounds can pierce itWhy would a hitman need this?
>>287341283It doesn't absorb the impact eitherYour insides would mash like a rotten pumpkin if the force of a 50 cal hit you, but at least your suit hasn't got a hole in it
bump for more readers
>>287330792>>287330804>>287331106This level of foresight... Unfathomable...
>>287344162heh
>>287338388More likely that Kaorin drew it on the photo itself, I think.
>>287346676NTA but that's what I figured.
>>287336994I don't know how the Japanese stomach their idol and celeb culture, it's like "here's this big, plastic, fake shit and lies for you." "You know it's fake and a lie, we know you know, but we all pretend they're all pure and happy and hope & dreams and none of it is made up/PR inventions". Also the whole aesthetic is beyond sickly.
>>287349290How do they stomach professional wrestling?
>>287349305It doesn't take itself seriously, it aims to be a fun act and it just does it without being up its own ass. Idolshit is srs bsns
>>287349369>It doesn't take itself seriously~
