Letters from Baji Keisuke Chapter 15 Eng Translation “Nowhere”

I know a lot of people are still waiting for the English scans from Sena who does an amazing job (and shouldn’t be rushed) but since ch 16 drops on March 6th and there’s been no news of when to expect the English scans I figured I’d do a translation of the Spanish scans for anyone that can’t read Spanish, especially since ch 15 is one of the best chapters so far!

Please keep a few things in mind though:

1. I’m not a professional translator. While I’m confident in my ability to understand Spanish and translate to English, there are certain nuances that are difficult to translate directly without language sounding awkward. I will try my best to make decisions based on accuracy and readability and address my choices in notes designated with a *.

2. I do not have access to the Japanese raws of ch 15 (if anyone does please share where you found them). My translation is coming directly from the Spanish scans. Therefore, I can’t guarantee that there are no mistakes in the translations or that certain nuances from the original Japanese text have not been lost. Please take this as more of a general translation until the English scans are released.

3. Please go thank Yakisoba scans on fb for their hard work in releasing these Spanish scans. They deserve all the praise and once the English scans are available I’ll take this post down or update it with the link to the English chapter instead. I’m only doing this for any English speaking fans that don’t have access to fb or don’t understand Spanish.

Chapter 15: “Nowhere” (panels from right to left) Page 1

1- Tsk, if you underestimate me more than necessary, next time I will show no mercy

2- Ugh

3- It hurts... after all, a middle school student is on another level. Can’t we come up* with a strategy? *(crear means to create but come up with sounds less awkward in English.)

4- Shit... one day we’ll definitely pay him back

Page 2 (panels from right to left)

1-3 When we decide to do something, without fail we achieve it. The two of us could look forward no matter how difficult it was. For me who had a lonely childhood...

4- I thought the only place for me was next to Kojirou/by Kojirou's side* (next to Kojirou is the more accurate translation however I know that in Japanese the idea of being by someone’s side is often used in English translations so I’m thinking it’s likely in this case too)

5- November 2003

Page 3 (panels from right to left)

1- However

2- Kojiro-kun, what should we do about Killer Bee who we’ve already talked about? It’s a problem that they are growing in numbers

3-4- Ah, you know, apparently their leader has a little sister. Kidnap her.

Ah, yes, message received. Oh...

Page 4 (panels from right to left)

1-2 Hey, the guy in such a cool uniform... Tokyo Manji? How do you read that? It’s dangerous for you to walk around with those markings* in this area (*can also be translated to that look)

3- Shut up! Get Lost!

4- Who do you think you’re talking to like that?

Page 5 (panels from right to left)

Leave him already, Kojirou

You too... who do you think you’re giving orders to, Ryusei?

He’s going to die

Are you saying that you want us to become demons? Kojiro

Page 6 (panels from right to left)

“That” which was supposed to be my place was painful

What did you (guys) come to take revenge?

Page 7 (panels from right to left)

Tokyo Manji Gang First Divison (Captain), Baji Keisuke. Are you (guys*) Yotsuya Kaidan? *(Spanish has various forms of you plural which doesn’t translate into English so I use you guys instead)

Page 8 (panels from right to left)

1- That uniform is the one from the other day..ha ha ha. You all lined up and came to avenge your comrade?

2- You’re that bastard called Hishi, right? Lately, I’ve heard a lot about you, they say you don’t bring anything good/ none of it is good (*none of it is good sounds less awkward and has a similar meaning either way I live for petty Baji roasting people)

3- Don’t overexert yourself trying to show off. You don’t wanna die for such a stupid act, do you?

4- Kojirou-kun, Tokyo Manji Gang are the ones they say defeated the Black Dragons...!

Page 9 (panels from right to left)

1-3 Eh, that’s great! It means that if we crush them Yotsuya’s reputation can become big all at once right, Ryusei?

4-5 Yes.. Haha in that case (all) we have to do is clean up this trash and a juicy reward will fall from the sky

Page 10 (panels from right to left)

Shut up!!!

Page 11 (panels from right to left)

1- They are resisting... even though we have the advantage (in numbers)

3- How heavy!!!

4- Are your fists made of iron or something?* (technically this says iron balls but that sounds too funny in English so I changed it to iron fists)

Page 12 (panels from right to left)

You’re not bad. Tsk, it hurts...you fucking bastard/shitty bastard

Page 13 (panels from right to left)

Page 14 (panels from right to left)

Ugh... Damn you... if you pull something like this... if you kill him

Page 15 (panels from right to left)

You won’t be able to come back (from this)... Kojirou...

Ryusei.

Page 16 (panels from right to left)

What are you saying, damn you?

Shit! It’s the police. Run away!!

Page 17 (panels from right to left)

1- Tsk, it’s time to close (for now). See you.

2- Wait!

3-4 Don’t worry, I won’t forget this first round. We’ll play again, Baji Keisuke!!

5- Baji-san, we also gotta disperse.

6- Ahh...I see

Page 18 (panels from right to left)

My place a long time ago...

Page 19 (panels from right to left)

1-3 Ah..what are you doing? If you’re trying to take me hostage, there’s no point they won’t come to save me. Let me go...they’re going to arrest you... quickly!

4-6 You tried to save him, right? It’s hard, isn’t it?

Page 20 (panels from right to left)

Well, I don’t know anything about you (guys) but if even after having gone through this you want to continue in a gang... Guys like you are welcome in Toman, you know?

Page 21 (panels from right to left)

1-2 Tskk, stop laughing and get moving! You’re gonna die from a hemorrhage, you fool.

3- True, I don’t feel like dying in the arms of a mustached gorilla like you either.

WHAT? Baji-san, let’s throw him away instead/leave him dumped.

4- What’s with him? And he’s like this on the brink of death, what a funny guy

5-6 Besides... I won’t die, no matter what...

Page 22 (panels from right to left)

Since now I have a debt I must pay without fail to Toman!!

Page 23 (panels from right to left)

July 7 2004

Page 24 (panels from right to left)

They came! Let’s finish this Toman!

And that’s the end! Hope you enjoyed the chapter and while I tried to look it over I typed this up quickly so I apologize in advance for any errors I might’ve missed. Let me know if you have questions about anything.
