Immortal Hound Live Translation Thread

>Synopsis: Kenzaki Shin'ichi is leader of the Anti-Vector Task Squad. He's in charge of hunting down Vectors, humans that carry with them the deadly Resurrection Deficiency Syndrome, a disease that can keep someone from resurrecting when they die.

This series has been dropped by FwPA citing lack of staff. I will now do a live translation of chapter 30 from the tank raws to try to raise interest in this so someone could pick it up. if you want to work on scanslating this, either get in touch with FwPA or organize someone yourself!

Since it's been so long, I've translated the character introduction page:

==Right column==
Tousai Station - The three including Kanzaki are working as the anti-vector special unit.

Kenzaki Shinichi - Team leader. Her sister Narumi (//could be incorrect) was killed by a vector. He's the "immortal hound" who chases down criminals.
Wakabayashi Masaki - Kenzaki's subordinate. Seems easy going, but can show determination too.
Shigematsu Kouzou - Though he's the oldest in the unit, he's Kenzaki's subordinate. Her daughter Marie was killed by a vector(?).
Ikegami Kyouko (left) - Hard worker at the office. Wakabayashi's drinking buddy.
Tamaru Naomi (right) - Married mother of one child. Husband works at another station.
Kusunoki Takurou - Chief of criminal investigations. Started at the same time as Shigematsu.

UNDO - Short for United Nations Desease Control Office.

Kanai Shintarou - Tokyo division chief. They do not have the rights to search or make arrests, his role is to cull the vectors captured by the police.
Kuribayashi Camillia - Kanai's ajutent and UN forces first lieutenant.

==Left Column==
Escape Artists - The secret organization who try to hide the vectors from the police.

Kazama Rin - Spy within the police. A pretty girl who's undercover as a "hound". Called Rin by the police and Wind Chime by the organization.
Facet - Helps vectors escape with rin. Though competent, she's not treated seriously.
Goose - Former head instructor. Pocesses high combat capabilities.
Bitter orange (left top) - Mama's attendent.

It's been too long. Thanks.

Chapter 30 - Mama

Nice, thought I missed out on some chapters.

2
*sigh*
3
I'm sick of drinking. || I'm going to go lie down.
sfx: kaa (kling)
4
I want to bath when I wake up. || Make the arrangements.

1
There's no sign of her getting back on her feet.
2
Mama is such a handful.
Wind Chime must've been a huge shock.
3
I sympathize with her...
But it's about time she got her acts together.
4
Isn't it okay is she stays this way too?
5
Drinking without a care, || Napping when she feels like,
This could be happiness for her.
6
You call that happiness? || It just doesn't seem that way to me...
sfx: gata- (crash)
7
Huh?
sfx: dota dota
sfx: baki doka

2
sfx: dosa (thud)
3
Kouda, do you understand what you did?!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
There was a message all of a sudden || and it caught me by surprise and I didn't think straight.
sfx: gehoo gehoo (cough cough)

oh fuck yes

1
We asked you to take care of Facet's stuff, || but what were you thinking when you replied without permission?
sfx: doboo
2
Think before you act, idiot!
top sfx: krara... (*slide*)
Oh it's the fish combo? || What's all this commotion? //I don't know why she calls them that. Halfbeak is a fish but osprey is a bird?
3
B- Bitter orange.
This is... um... || Well...
4
Forget it, Halfbeak.
Don't try to cover for him.
5
Facet gave Kouda her personal belongings before the Hachiouji operation. || He's been holding onto them since.
6
But this dumbass replied to the message received on his own.

From: Wakabayashi
We wish to break Wind Chime out of Hachiouji. We are requesting assistance from your side. We would like to discuss this matter with Mama. We await your response.

Tousai police department
Kenzaki
2
Take care of Kouda.
3
If he acts on his own accord again, it'd endanger the organization.
sfx: yoro... (*stagger*)
Huh? Take care?
I'll do it.
4
That's too bad. || What will we do for driver?
sfx; fu-- fu-- (*pant*)
I'll drive for now. || You suck at driving, right?
sfx: gacha (*cock*)
5
P- Please wait!
I won't do it anymore! || There definitely won't be a second time!

Thanks famalam

1
You messed up. Just give up already.
Okay, that's enough.
2
He said he won't do it anymore, right? || Let's forgive him.
3
Oh my. || Are you okay, boy?
4
There, there. It must've hurt. || It was scary wasn't it?
Hey, Holly Olive.
5
What are you trying to pull? || If you want to joke around, do it somewhere else.

Just a quick FYI, if you want to pick this up, you totally don't have to get in contact with us. We don't have nearly any of the staff involved in it's scanlation anymore, so any effort on our part would be building from the ground up. Any group is free to take this manga and run with it. We stake no claim in it, and would love if someone picked it up.

1
Why are you using that tone of voice
In front of Mama?
2
Huh?
Mama?
3
Wait, Holly Olive, || What are you talking about?
4
Well, Mama's been actually like a bum all this time. || Drinking and napping from dawn to dusk.
Some days she doesn't leave the room at all.
5
Losing Wind Chime must've been a big shock. || She's her flesh and blood after all...
6
It's almost funny...

1
Even though we thought she was everyone's Mama. || At the end, she was only the Mama of her child.
2
That's why I thought I'd become the new Mama.
3
Don't worry, I don't have any children, || So I'll be everyone's Mama.
4
Well now, what's with that look on your face?
Is it so weird for me to be Mama?
5
I know! I'll do something Mama-like. || That way, you'll be able to see me as Mama.
Yep, let's do it.

1
I'll let you suck on my tit, boy.
sfx: suu
2
Here, drink lots, okay? //she uses baby talk here.
sfx: gyuu
3
Um... Holly Olive-san, || That's a bit...
Oh, you don't like tits?
Milk won't come out, || but at least go through the motion...
4
That's not it, || I just think now's not really the time or place...
5
sfx: gaa (*grab*)

No handjob? Pass.

1
You're not going to listen to what Mama says?
2
sfx: gaku gaku (*tremble*)
4
What a good boy~
sfx: chuu chuu (*suck*)
Fine. || You can keep Kouda as your toy.
sfx: zaa zaa
5
Anyway, what should we do about this?
About the message Kouda replied to?
6
sfx: pii (beep)
... I see. || This was quite the mischief, boy.

1
He used "Wind Chime" instead of her fake name. || He also knows about "Mama".
sfx: chuu chuu (*suck*)
Just how much information does this detective have? We also don't know his aim.
sfx: zaa zaa
2
On top of that, he knows this message was delivered to us,
Thanks to the boy there.
3
At this point, whether we ignore it or respond to it, Kenzaki will gain new information...
Now then, what should we do,
4
Our new Mama?
5
Let's meet with Kenzaki.
6
Bitter Orange, please send a reply...
Saying that there's room for negotiation.
7
We're going to team up with them?
No way. || Of course not.

1
Mama would probably do that since she has a child.
She'd say some nonsense like wanting to rescue Wind Chime.
2
It's so much easier without a child.
3
It's kind of a shame to loose Goose, but besides being good with a sword, she isn't a bit deal. || And was there one more?
sfx: kachinn
Anyway, their loss is within an acceptable level.
sfx: boso... (*whisper*)
Ago-san
4
What is it?
sfx: chira (*glance*)
It's nothing...
5
I see. The reason you want to meet with Kenzaki would be...
To capture him?
6
Bingo. || Let's kidnap him lock him up.

Oh shit is this really fucking happening>?

thanks!

1
He knows about the existence of Mama. There's no need to hesitate.
Taking a detective captive will cause problems down the road, but we don't have a choice.
2
If I play with him every day, || I'm sure he'll me how much he knows.
3
Kidnapping Onii-san...
4
sfx: gyuu (*grab*)
5
Geez, boy.
You can't stop sucking without permission you know?
6
Holly Olive,
He's still natural. || If you play with him like you usually do, he'll die before he breaks. //Not sure if there's a better translation for 素のまま than natural.
7
Oh, right!

2
Then just a little bit.
sfx: buchii (*rip*)
3
sfx: gyaaaaa
sfx: gaaaa
Ah, you're crying so loudly. || Did you poop? Or are you sleepy?
I understand the situation. || I'll go ask Mama for authorization.
4
What are you saying, Bitter Orange?
I'm Mama.
sfx: kusu (*laugh*)

1
Then I'll leave this up to the new Mama.
3
Bitter Orange, you sure about this?
Using Mama's name like this...
4
The responsibility lies with Mama as well. || Holly Olive can't take all the blame.
5
I'm disappointed in Holly Olive.
Ago-san, that's...
If she says she wants to do it, let her. || It's a fact that we need someone acting as Mama.
6
Leaving the job to the person with the motivation to do it isn't such a bad thing.
Motivation huh...

1
Rather than motivation it's more like... || Insanity?
2
Ago-san, that's going too far for sure.
What else would you call that! || Pulling her tit out all of a sudden... It's creepy.
3
That's exactly it. || That girl is broken.
4
She, too, has lived... || Far too long.

1
[A few days later...]
Sign: Shinjuku Station
5
Nice to meet you, assistant inspector Kenzaki.

1
I'm Mama.
sfx: koto...
I hope we get along.
2
I'm sorry we had to ask you to meet us.
I don't mind.
sfx: kotoo
3
It's fine as long as we get to talk.
6
sfx: pii... (beep...)
Kenzaki has arrived. Has there been any changes in the surrounding area?

1
I don't see anyone that looks like a police or looks suspicious.
2
At most it's just the patrolman from the nearby police box. || I don't see any sign of an ambush.
3
Halfbeak is keeping an eye on the opposite building, but she hasn't noticed anything.
4
Keep searching the surrounding area. Don't miss anything.
Got it.
5
Did Kenzaki really come by himself? We still can't be sure yet.
6
Let's wait and see a little longer. || Keep him talking.
sfx: kuii
7
Kenzaki-san, || Do you know the whereabouts of Wind Chime?

1
Hachiouji was it?
Yeah. || She imprisoned in UN's protection centre.
2
We don't know what happened to those three. || Would you be able to tell us?
3
Those three were captured by UNDO. || They're now having a nice bath together in liquid nitrogen.
4
Oh my, liquid nitrogen?
That sounds really cold. || I hope they don't catch cold.
5
I wouldn't know.
Frozen huh... That's why they haven't returned.
6
Let's go into the main topic. || Why do you want to rescue Wind Chime?

1
That's because...
Before that, mind if I smoke one?
2
Sure, || Go ahead.
sfx: suu
5
sfx: kachii (click)
6
sfx: fuu--

wow everything is translated.

1
Hey, you.
How long are we going to keep up this farce?
2
It's not like I have all day either. || Isn't this enough?
3
Geez...
Why are you turning away while you speak? || Mama is right over here!
sfx: fu fu fu...
4
Sorry, but you're not mama. || With the ashtray just now, I'm certain of it.
5
You're her attendant or something, right? || Please switch with the real thing already.
6
Shut your mouth.

i'd typeset but i have yet to reinstall photoshop

Kenzaki is so cool.

1
I already told you that I'm Mama, you shitty detective.
2
Man... Do I need to start from the beginning?
This is why women are a pain.
3
We were supposed to meet alone today,
4
But the employees and the customers are all your people right?
No, I don't mean to fault you for that. || We police do it all the time too.
5
However, || You need to choose the right person to be the substitute.
6
Mama is supposed to be the organization's top, right? || However, no one seems to be paying attention to your behaviours at all.

1
Including yourself, everyone's attention is focused on either || me,
Or that girl back there.
2
The most important person in this place is her. || She would've made a better substitute as Mama.
Their upbringing back fired on us huh...
4
Shut up!
sfx: gashan

1
I'M MAMA!
sfx: kaa (*slam*)
2
IT'S NOT ANYONE ELSE
BUT ME!
3
I'm the only Mama! || When I say it's me, then it's me!
4
When I say it's me, When I say it's me, When I say it's me, When I say it's me, then it's me!
*tsk* || She broke.
sfx: gataa
5
That's enough!
You guys, grab Ken-
6
sfx: kaa kaa kaa kaa

4
Thank you for waiting. || Here's your parfait~
5
We never asked for that. || Back off!

1
This is on the house.
sfx: kodoo
2
So who did you say Mama was?
3
Well? Holly Olive?
Er... || Well, um......

I was doing so well!

1
sfx: don (*crash*)
bubble: Hiii (eep)
2
gehaa
aaah
sfx: giri x4 (*squeeze*)
3
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Mama, I'm sorry!
4
Please don't crush me... || Forgive me. //literal: Anything but crushing!
Forgi... gofuu
5
gobe...
sfx: goopu goopu
bupee || bopu...

This will require stitches.

1
Sorry for the wait.
sfx: paan
2
So you're Kenzaki, huh?

...

Thank you so much for this.

Chapter 30 End

Holy fuck, this was a long as fuck chapter.

Don't you faggots want to see Kenzaki vs Mama? Or the Anti-vector squad team up with the escape artists to raid UNDO? If so, shit's not going to scanslate itself!

thanks man

About damn time someone got off their lazy ass and picked up where those shitters at FwPA left dropped it. Volume 5 is such a hype volume and I finally get to talk about it with other anons.

How many chapters are there in jap at the moment?

What so it was only chapter 30? Kill yourself, my hopes and dreams were dashed.

They are probably going to team up.

They are but only after she tries to capture him, chases him, and then decides to lend him her forces after he asked her to give her Rin.

It's not like we dropped it because we wanted to. You guys don't understand how much of the scanlation was TF on that project. After she quit, we had no translator, no typesetter, no redrawer...

Honestly good riddance, that blogging whore was a plague on the scanlation community.

Yes. How dare she make all those useful guides that people use to this day.

I get that you're salty but please try to get your facts straight~

Your words have very little value when you yourself treat this board as your personal blog.

Eh. she does high quality work, is a QT, and doesn't cause too much drama.
Don't know. This is serialized in magazine Harta which doesn't have publicly available scans.
Jitsu is done so you have free time now, right? ;-)

Well, he is one of their smartest enemy. But breaking into the UNDO might be some crazy challenge, cant see an easy stealth mission for that.

I'll just let you be butthurt I guess, since you're spouting meme nonsense.

Please. I still have 9 months left on that series.

They didn't even do a stealth mission, they broke in with tanks and othered armored vehicles.

Noice.

what a cunt

So because she slid the ashtray forward like that he knew she was his attendant?

That's actually a pretty cool trick. I like the MC of this manga the most.

>his attendant
meant 'her'

Corrections:

1) Ago-san nickname may be Jawbreaker.
2) Bitter Orange was previously translated as Citrus.
3) Holly Olive -> Olive to sound less retarded.
4) Tousai station -> Tousai department
5) Narumi -> Ikumi
6) Right person -> right piece //referring to chess pieces.

>13 IPs.
Dead thread, dead series.

It doesn't go smoothly, that's for sure.

Wonder what happens if you cannibalize someone and then they try to resurrect.

I haven't read IH yet, but I saw a chapter where some edgelord-looking girl sat down at a coffee shop and crushed a girl with her ribbon thing, and then they got mowed down by machine gun fire from the window.
