4koma Comics

All strips open in a new window. Remember to read right to left. I do not mirror these from the original Japanese.

Rooted to the Spot with One Glance

The strips below are from the book "Xenosaga 4koma Manga Theater Volume 2," ISBN 4-7575-0847-6. I got it at JPQueen

What is 4koma? 4Koma is a style of manga that is more like a comic strip than an epic story. They consist of four panels, vertically, and they tell a short little story that usually ends in some kind of gag. 4koma are not as easily found translated as their "straight" manga counterparts.

So what's the dig here? I've got a book of Xenosaga 4koma manga strips, and this being a chaos shrine, I decided to scan some of the strips that involved him and translate them for you. DO NOT TAKE THESE and put them ANYWHERE else. They're exclusively for Heaven Unsolved, to give it that something extra.

Reeling from reading these? First of all, just about everyone who the gag centers around in a 4koma strip is going to be extremely out of character, or have something about their character blown out of proportion. And remember, these are not canon... we know that chaos doesn't really eat Gnosis. Second of all, I translated these best I could. I'm pretty sure it's all correct, but if the wording is awkward, forgive me--translation is not easy. Also, there were instances where words were not written in Kanji, and I tried to pick the best definition from the given context. If you think you can point out a big error, contact me.

These are not canon! These were pretty much created by fans of the game, so anything here is only their interpretation or idea.
