YGO scanspam

Finished v.16 (Duelist v.9), and couldn't wait until next month, so I picked up my Japanese v.17 - and found I could read it! Admittedly it takes me as long to read a single chapter as it does to read the entire volume in English, and I wasn't looking up words so was missing bits. But a couple hours of Japanese studies a day is paying off! I can read manga intended for 12 year old boys! ...Er. Yeah.

Still! Too cute, the beginning of the volume, with Yugi beating Otogi - "Otogi-kun, I wasn't thinking about inheriting the power of the puzzle; I just wanted to see my other self...that's all I wanted." Seriously. So Canon. And then Jounouchi staying behind and carrying Yugi out of the fire...now that's a friend. Aww.

And now some Japanese manga scans, with my translations below the scans. (And naturally corrections on my translations are greatly appreciated.)

But first a cute Y/Y pic from v.17.

( A couple pages from v.27, on Alcatraz. In which we find further proof that Kaiba has more issues than my grandma had of National Geographic. )

( And v.31, the end of Alcatraz. Notable for the brief chibi-Kaibas flashback, death by the tragically adorable. )
