The first chapter of the Manga Adaptation of Dolls Nest, titled: "Dolls Nest: ORPHANS" is finally out.https://x.com/Dolls_Nest/status/2037363996517638352Able to be read for free.
Here's a quick catbox for those that can't open comic walker for some reason.files.catbox.moe/ty3mpi.zipLong first chapter, but surprisingly very scant on dialogue and focuses more on action. So its very easy to follow even if you have little to no moonspeak knowledge. Only like 20% of the pages have dialogue, so I can do a quick TL of the pages with speech bubbles. >This child... was a doll born only to fight.
>Decoy Heat Sources.>Deploying.
>An information terminal....?
>Special proxy authority for the online autonomous work unit confirmed. Provisional Second Class Administrator rights granted.>This is a virtual general information terminal unit. Please state your request.
>I am....>I mean... Master Nehma's.... body....>I.... my Master's body.... I was told to look for it...>Unable to parse the intent of your request. NEHMA is the collective identifier for the systems and rules that govern this structure.>A physical entity or body as you claim does not exist.>So there's no.... body...?
>I am searching for my master's body.>That is the reason for which I was born.>Deduction Protocols. Initiating. Searching Database. Found. Confidentiality Level. First Class Restriction. Verifying Permissions. Proxy Administrator approved. Requesting Disclosure. Automating. Result. Approved.Granting Certification. Complete.>As of now, only the autonomous maintenance system is in operation within this structure. The determined cause is a desynchronization with the structure's central control system.>The intent of the inquirer is to restore synchronization, is this correct?
>.... I was just ordered to search for the body.>Communications are compliant. Now beginning to transmit estimated location.Also on a side note, I really like the little detail of Seedling's visor screen display being the game's HUD.
Kind of a sudden jump here, but like I said, the first chapter is mostly just action.>So pretty...
>>23795041The following pages are really just the intro blurb for the game, so I'm just gonna use the phrasing used in the official translation for consistency.>Doll...>My darling doll...>It's time to leave the cradle.
>For your birth is nigh
>They plundered my body.>my limbs ripped off.>my eyes gouged.
>To reclaim them all, I give birth to you.>So prepare yourself for battle.
>Awaken.>I'm alive...?>No, that's not it.... I'm not allowed to die yet....>That's why I was reborn.
>I should get going...
>Our world was a world born a very very long time ago.>So long ago that nobody even remembers who gave birth to it nor why it was even born.
>In this world with no master, all that remained were machines, variants and dolls. With nothing left to do, they have just kept killing each other for ages.
>Thus this nameless thing begins to walk at a steady pace.>And it was in the deepest depths of their world that everything began like this.
>>23795060That was the last page of the first chapter btw.Really good first chapter imo. Simulates the experience of utterly getting wrecked and having your shit kicked in because you have shit gear and aren't familiar with the controls yet. Nykken did a great job with the art. I have no complaints at all about the mecha designs nor the desolate superstructure environments carried over into manga form.Though the chapter was a bit too somber and depressing for my tastes, which to be fair was the general tone of the game too, but remember that this was also a game with a bunch of wacky melee retards and a bunch of autists that snorted so much rocket fuel they blew up their entire colony. There's also a silly and whimsical angle to the game too. Seedling-chan seems like an emotionless retard, but I guess it's gonna be a later plot point on how she'll develop her personality more as she interacts with the various NPCs in the game proper. Things should probably lighten up considerably once Yoyo enters the picture.
Also, behold graphic Nymph tiddies in full view.Why does a race of robot antgirls that grow from trees need mammary glands? I don't really know, but fuck me, I'm not complaining.
>>23795018The game looked interesting as a Armored Core 7 appetizer but I refuse to play as a femaleGive me male or robot character mod and I’ll buy it
People kept comparing the environment to Blame! in the games, but now that its a manga, you really see it in full view. Did the mangaka work have a stint as Tsutomu Nihei's assistant or something?Also, Seedling-chan a cute. Kinda hoping that she does a bad end to all questlines playthrough in the manga just to see her get broken down more.
>>23795252>but I refuse to play as a femaleDon't act like a faggot whenever you get the controller is how you solve that problem, no?
>>23795275Maybe I would rather play as a cool robot instead of mecha musume?
>>23795282If I remember right there are customization options that strip the doll of their fake skin and just have them as an endo skeleton, in addition to some armor parts that completely cover them up. The endoskeleton's are not uwu cutesy robots either, they're fucking horrifying metal skeletons and it's awesome.
>>23795071Good, but these are not max boob slider tits.I hope we get some gag where the MC tests modifying her own body and sets herself to flat and then huge.
>>23795047Lmao is that the same spear that mommy will eventually get shishkebab'd with?
>>23795071Why censor this pic but not the other 5 that have tiddies?Gunna wait for the tankobon, looks like they're going with enough furigana for me to be able to read it at my level.
I wish the mobs were actual threats like the mango shows.
>>23795018IT GOT A WHAT?
>>23795252It's the actual AC6, and you have shit taste.

>>23795018Well fuck me. How did I miss this. Is it a monthly series?
>>23795252They are just terminators wearing synth skin, unless they reveal they have functional wombs or something.
>Attempt to NAGARA DAMASHII the spidertank with the Balmung>Eat cannon to the face >>23795071Manga Seedling was literally me in my first playthrough.
>>23804956>functional wombsGod I hope.
