[Scanlation] New York Life Comics - The Tale of the Old House

[spaceinvaderdud.livejournal.com]

Translated and bad typeset by spaceinvaderdud  (Me!)




Jeepers! Also, Red Herring did it.




That night...




Later on we all evacuated and set off 10 Japanese-made Varsan fumigation insecticide containers.


Even though now I think the BANG BANG noise was a human act, if it was someone banging on people's houses as hard as they could then this becomes a story about the public order being scary in America...*

*Rough translation

>Varsan even works on ghosts.

It does?!



What made me think that America's ghosts are showy are when the people talk to ghosts in America's ghost TV shows.

The ghosts seem to respond rather well in conversations.

"Who are you?!"

"...John..."

"What are you?!"

"...A bartender..."

That's how the conversation usually goes.

Also, I'm really surprised by how much ghost photos, which I used for a joke a long time ago, in America have ghosts that may as well have a "Look at me! I'm here!" sign on them.

I think I'd like to learn a little from the gramp's dignified manner of not appearing ethereal in the middle of the photo but appearing solid on the side.*

*Again, rough translation

[rosetteroulette.livejournal.com]

So did he have some Dunkin' Donuts with him there as well, or what? XD

Thanks for the scanlation. I love Hima's observation about those ghost shows.

[rosetteroulette.livejournal.com]

BTW, does anyone know what the guy was trying to say in the very last panel?

[pink-cass.livejournal.com]

If you mean the censored part, it's probably "cockroaches".

[rosetteroulette.livejournal.com]

Haha, that's what I thought at first.

[vivecka.livejournal.com]

Oh is that what it said?
I lol'd so hard at this, it's so true!

[mizu-takishima.livejournal.com]

He's totally right about the ghosts though XD Made me think about Ghost hunters...

[wafflesama.livejournal.com]

/goes to read

[jammerlea]

lol, that's so cute. Old noisy houses. XD Makes me think of a few places. Love the panel where they're freaking out.

Those TV shows where they "talk" to the ghost are so weird. XD They use all their high tech equipment and then go "YEAH. THERE MAY PROBABLY BE A GHOST HERE." and I'm just lol.

A bartender. XD

Thanks for the translation!

[runecat3.livejournal.com]

They're laughable like that, right? XD

[jevia.livejournal.com]

"...A bartender..." XD Nearly choked on my breakfast over here at that, ahahaha.
Thank you for sharing!!

"Are you Emily?"

"...There's no 'Emily' here..."

"("oAo)..."

pfff. anyway, i love Himaruya's here-in-America strips~ just about everything in America is aggressive as Hima-papa describes them :P LOL (love that Dunkin'Donuts cameo too XP...i wish the West Coast had Dunkin' too... "OTL)

[x-cutslikesilk.livejournal.com]

cockroaches are worse than ghosts ; o ; /ickickick

[ichii-lemoncat.livejournal.com]

I don't know why, but that ghost conversation that he comments on just made me LOL for a long time!

[xxthe-elitistxx.livejournal.com]

XD I guess Himaruya's not used to old houses.

[onlyhereforthis.livejournal.com]

I LOVE THESE STORIES. Ohh, I wish Himaruya would make more Adventures In America comics.

[darker-dreamer0.livejournal.com]

See Hima, this is why America is afraid of ghosts. His actively try to mess with him.

[mogumogu.livejournal.com]

NEW YORK-FU AT WORK. I saw that punchline coming. XP

The banging was probably something in the pipes, though.

[mame-meme.livejournal.com]

LOL cute!

[icepelt.livejournal.com]

I would be more scared of those huge cockroaches. they must be ginormous if they make loud banging noises. ;A;
