Saint Oniisan

Oh man, this is so good! I don't think it's been scanlated (I can't find any info that it has) and I'm seriously considering doing so myself. Would there be interest if I did?

Here's the plot: Jesus and Buddha are taking an extended holiday on Earth. They share a flat in Japan (don't ask why Japan, they just are) and each chapter is about some daily life sort of thing. One chapter is about going to an amusement park, one is about going shopping, one is about going to the public pool, etc.

I've already scanlated the punch lines a few of my favorite bits.

1. Jesus and Buddha go grocery shopping only to find that it's a super sale day. Not only that, but there's a raffle. First prize is a trip to Okinawa, so they buy their groceries and enter the raffle. They end up winning second prize instead, which is...a lifesize Buddha statue. Buddha's reaction is classic:



2. The landlady comes around and when she sees them both home during the day, she starts asking about their jobs. They say they're on extended vacation, and she says she hopes they aren't let go in the meantime. They say no, no, our jobs are safe, and she starts asking more questions. What sort of jobs are they? Is it something very common?



If you're not familiar with Death Note, that kid in the middle is obviously supposed to be a reference to Light, who, well, wants to be the god of a new world. XD

3. Jesus and Buddha are in the sauna, and Jesus starts talking to a guy next to him, who is very obviously yakuza. Buddha realises this, but Jesus doesn't. As they're talking, the yazuka guy says to Jesus, what gang gave you those wounds on your hands? And Jesus says, oh, it was the government. Oh, you were in prison, too? the yakuza guy says. How long were you in for? I was in for seven years? Jesus, of course, says he came back in three days. The yazuka guy keeps badgering him to know how he escaped so soon (meanwhile everyone else in the sauna is looking very nervous and scared and Buddha is thinking like omg stop talking to him!).

It's so funny! I'm just like argh, do I really need another project...?

I've been laughing so hard my cheeks are aching XD
I would be really grateful if you scanlating at least parts of it!

Well, I've already started doing a few more pages. >_< I figure maybe if I just work on it a little each day it won't feel like taking on a huge project...

Hee, I want to read that now. But most of all it makes me want to watch Bro'Town. Especially this part:

Jesus: *sulking in his room*
God: Jesus! I said I was sorry. It was 2000 years ago! Let it go!
Jesus: *singing while playing guitar* I love all the children of the world... *stops singing* Go away, Dad! You're not the boss of me!
God: I'm the boss of everything! Oh, for the love of me! *intro blurb for the episode about how all parents have arguments with their kids* Even me, who gave my only son, so that we all...I mean YOU all...could live. *goes back to Jesus' bedroom door* Jesus Christ, you'd better snap out of it, mister.
Jesus: God almighty, stop using my name in vain!
God: He gets like this EVERY EASTER.

LOL! I uploaded the Japanese version if you want to grab that.

I've already started translating it...just what I needed, another project. :p

I would definitely read this if you translated it (well, I'd read it if you didn't, too. XD). I understand if you have too much going, though.

Well, I already did several pages last night... ^_^;;

Is there a special manga-translation font that all scanlators use? *is curious*

[info]kyuuketsukirui

September 8 2008, 14:34:55 UTC 3 years ago

I think people generally try to use a comic-y one. I had this and comic sans, and didn't want to inflict the latter upon people, so this is what I chose. :p It's not quite the same as the comic font I usually see used, though. I don't know what that is. (This is just called "comics"; I must have downloaded it from somewhere at some point, but I have no idea where.)

It's called 'wild words'. I could upload it for you if you like. It's the one I used in this icon.

[info]kyuuketsukirui

September 8 2008, 14:59:13 UTC 3 years ago

Sure, thanks. :)

Here's Wild Words plus all the other common fonts we use - mostly Felt, Yikes, Kristen, and Augie, with some BadaBoom thrown in for SFX.

This is SO CUTE. I would definitely read a scanslation if you did one.

[info]kyuuketsukirui

September 9 2008, 00:24:40 UTC 3 years ago

Well, I seem to be. XD In fact, I got more of that done last night than either of the things I really needed to do... *sigh*

If I keep up the rate I did last night, I may have chapter one done before the end of the week. :p

[info]lady_ganesh

I would SO READ THIS if you scanlated it. OMG yes.

[info]kyuuketsukirui

September 9 2008, 00:23:20 UTC 3 years ago

Well, I've already got like ten pages done last night. So much for taking it slow and not letting it get in the way of previous committments... *headdesk*

[info]lady_ganesh

September 9 2008, 00:28:05 UTC 3 years ago

Well, you know. Community demand. And Jesus and Buddha as pals!

Chiming in to say I'd so read this, it looks hilarious! :D

[info]kyuuketsukirui

September 9 2008, 03:04:22 UTC 3 years ago

Well, at the rate things are going, I may have chapter one done by this weekend... :)

[info]strigine

September 9 2008, 05:32:44 UTC 3 years ago

Nth-ing the love...I would be ecstatic to share this with my parents, but it'd definitely have to be translated.

[info]kyuuketsukirui

September 9 2008, 06:11:13 UTC 3 years ago

Well, it looks like I might have the first chapter (well, first two chapters, since the first one is just a few pages) done this weekend. :)
