Me taking a Translator's Test

(Translator’s Note: I wasn’t sure if you wanted to keep it 死神/Shinigami, or change it to Soul Reaper like “Bleach” or actually translate it to Death God, so I just did the English equivalent to Shinigami, the Grim Reaper. It’s also a little hard to translate without knowing what’s going on before it. (^_^;) )

Page 1

Bubble 1: About your other question… Because you committed suicide, you will go to Hell. Suicide, causing not only pain to family but to others close to you as well, is a disgraceful crime.
Bubble 2: As proof of this, from your body is being released the “Devil Essence,” which only surrounds criminals.
SFX 1: ゴオッ/GO (a SFX when something big is coming)
SFX 2: オオオオオ/OOOOO (strong wind)
Bubble 3: Oops, the Grim Reaper’s already here.
Bubble 4: ……!


Page 2

Bubble 1: Now that the Grim Reaper has arrived, it’s too late
Bubble 2: Because you’ll be taken to Hell.
SFX 1: オオオオオ/OOOOO (strong wind)
Bubble 3: You’ll probably burn in boiling magma for eternity.
Bubble 4: No! P, Please help me!
Bubble 5: I don’t want to go to Hell!! Please you have to help!!
Bubble 6: Then, do you want to sign a contract with me? Lawyers fight against the Grim Reaper, and protect the client’s rights and benefits.
Bubble 7: In other words, if you sign a contract with me…
Bubble 8: I’ll bring the unfair parts of the crime you’ve committed to light,
Bubble 9: And may be able to get a “Not Guilty” verdict for you.


Page 3

Bubble 1: Well? Do we have a deal?
Bubble 2: Yes! I’ll do it!!
Bubble 3: Good, then sign here.
Bubble 4: I won’t be needing any pay. Yes, right there…
SFX 1: ドタン/Dotan/Thud
Bubble 5: ……
Bubble 6: Phew! It’s too hot, I can’t take it!
Bubble 7: What are you doing Master!? Taking such a long time with one brat!
SFX 2: ガバッ/Gaba/Slide (remove clothing)
Bubble 8: I don’t have ANY idea who that is! So, hurry up and sign Jake!
Bubble 9: WaWa, Wait a minute.


Page 4

Bubble 1: There something wrong with you guys! Are you trying to trick me!?
Bubble 2: How long are you going to keep up the act on that brat Master!
SFX 1: パンパン/Pan Pan/Pat Pat
Bubble 3: Alright, listen here kid! We’re here to suck the Devil Essence out of you!
Bubble 4: It’s the source of our power after all! If we do that, then I can go back to being the incarnation of fear…The Dragon King!
Bubble 5: The incarnation of fear?
Bubble 6: That’s right, everyone’ll be shaking in their boots!
Bubble 7: Jeez, it’s ruined now you idiot!
SFX 2: ボフッ/Bofu/Bamph
Bubble 8: …H, Huh?
Bubble 9: Just ignore that freak’s rambling.
Bubble 10: Let’s just finish our contract. Now sign.
Bubble 11: …No! I won’t be tricked!!
SFX 3: ドン/Don/Shove

(Translator’s Note: What’s this manga called? I’m interested now and wanna read it! XP)
