Plucking eyes out now? Dude's stepped things up in a permanent fashion now. Once again raging because he's got (presumably) priceless yukkuris and ignoring the possibilities in favor of short-sighted gratification.
Well we still have to see if siblings can mate between yukkuris, or at least in a healthy way without blackening out of some "rapist esque" effect...unlike in the yukkuri world, this guy lacks all the "breeding" goodies from The Factory or other companies.
>>I wonder what the water tanks for and how it relates to the two Ko's removed eyes. The only thing I can know is that the tank's label says "Don't eat! By Onii" or something like that. I don't know if "Taberuna!" translates as "Eat!" or "Don't eat". Probably the tank is for keeping koyukkuris' eyes fresh. One use for it could be that eyes could be reimplanted later without vision loss or eaten fresh later.
You know, for having their eyes removed they don't seem to be in pain much... wonder what's going to happen next, though. Some experimenting on them would be quite interesting (and even better if it's to breed them).
They are crying, but with Kiriraitaa's yukkuri what else is new?
I'm wondering if anon is ignoring them in favour of their younger siblings? They seem to be shaking in anger in the last frame. Could be some plan to make them hate each other...
>> Probably the tank is for keeping koyukkuris' eyes fresh. One use for it could be that eyes could be reimplanted later without vision loss or eaten fresh later.
I suppose that works, and seeing a Kiri Yukkuri with a missing eye seems out of place. I find much of the appeal in his Yukkuri designs come from them, so hopefully the eyes are put back in.
>> You know, for having their eyes removed they don't seem to be in pain much...
Possible theories. 1.) They had their eyes removed a fair amount of time ago and much of the pain from having them gone had came and went. While they're upset and would obviously would like their eyes back, but still. 2.) These Yukkuris are getting more resistant to what our anon is doing to them, essentially making them tougher. 3.) These Yukkuris are getting more accepted to what our anon is doing to them. While still obviously upset over what's being done to them, it's more in the "Yeah fine, get it over with." sort of way.
There are virtually no new ideas any more, but it's executed well which makes it appealing. Still, from having the eye removed I'd expect them to be thrashing about in pain, but thinking about how the biology might work, perhaps not...
Already tagged for translation request, adding +1...
Ohh.. I looked up the Kanji on the two older ko's, and now the eye loss makes sense. Marisa has "Sure Victory", and Reimu has "prayer for passing (an exam)". He's treating them as.. ok, I don't remember what they're called, but you make a wish and fill in one eye, and then fill in the other eye when the wish comes true...
(And then, if memory serves, you burn them on New Year's.)
>>It feels like we're missing a couple pages here. I checked at Yukkuri Futaba and the three most recent pictures (this one, post #22529 and post #21507) are labeled as 38, 37 and 36, respectively.
Ah, thanks pgraphics and Toawa... breeding them first still seems to be a better option, but maybe he's doing this now because he's got the other pair to go back to...
I see someone has tagged all of Between Studies with anko2056; I think that might be a bit premature until we actually have the story translated. 2056 has been out for more than a few pages, and it was only just mentioned...
Moekou, a recommendation, avoid such comments in Abuse works. Going "so sad" in each abuse work will lead to troublesome drama and people getting bothered, since well, the point of abuse is being abuse, if you feel sad, then you don't like it, and if you don't like it, it's better for you to avoid it since it won't get any better and commenting in a way or other about "how you don't like this" will get troublesome, so let's avoid future drama, ok?
>> Hardly seems worth translating now the series finished with a whimper.
1.) The artist is among other things also known for having large gaps of times between pages. 2.) There's also the True Happiness story that took priority over this one.
1. Anon: Still, the power of their "belief" is amazing.
Anon: "With this food, you won't grow any bigger." I made them believe it, and now they're still baby-sized.
Marisa: Give it back! Sound effect: pira (sound of hat uncrumpling?)
Anon: I casually mentioned that their accessories might heal themselves if they had contact with their bodies, and see? [It worked.]
2. Anon: Well, I'd like to benefit from that power, too... Right?
Yukkuris: Yu! Big shishters! Sound effect: Nozo (Given the circumstances, I'd put it as wobble or sway)
3. Reimu: Mishter, huwwy up and give back eye-eye!! Anon: I told you, I'll give them back after I pass my exam, remember? Marisa: Yuuuuu, can't take it eajyyyy!!
"Sound effect": DARUMAAA [see pgraphics' and Toawa's comments]
Writing on Reimu: WISH: TO PASS THE EXAM Writing on Marisa: CERTAIN VICTORY [I think it's okay to have it as just "PASS THE EXAM" and maybe even just "VICTORY"]
4. Anon: So wish for my success with all your might. Anon: [Because] I've got your eyeballs stored in the fridge.
Label: DON'T EAT! by Anon [or Onii or Mister] Sound effect: Gopoooo... [uncertain--sound of a cold, lonely wind?]
5. Reimu(?): Weally!? Ish that a pwomishe!?
Sound effect: GYAA! GYAA! Koyukkuris: Big shishters, do your besht!
Anon: Ummm, yup, definitely. [Written in katakana to indicate an odd tone of voice--use a different font.]
Reimu(?): Shomehow that wepwy doeshn't shound convinshing!
