Translated 4 Koma Directory

Our wonderful friend and translator, Anastasia, has kindly sent in a TON of translations for some of the great 4 Koma out there. Since it takes a long time to edit the text on the pages -turning them from Japanese to English, I am posting the text for them until I can get around to actually adding it to the images. (These translations still have the notes and stuff in them because they are what was directly sent to me. Also, please ignore any spelling mistakes) When I have them edited, I'll display them here as links so you'll have a directory of the panels in English. But remember, the untranslated 4 Koma is still worth looking at ^_^ -Even the pictures alone will crack you up. Be sure to give Anastasia a big thank you! 

The pages will open in a new window. Simply close it to return back to this page.

None of these translations can be used without Anastasia's permission, she spent the time doing them, it's her hard work. None of the edited pages can be used with out my permission. No exceptions, sorry.

Tarin: Oh? There's something written on the back of this shield!

3.(On the shield is written RI-N-KU (Link) but Tarin reads it as RI-SO-KU (interest (on a loan)) The katakana for N and SO look very simmilar and be mixed up easily. The same for SHI and TSU.)
