"I didn't see the part where he develops as a character so I guess he never developed as a character"
The two villains also have names referencing biblical archangels Michael and Raphael. It is cool.

Every species can smell its own extinction.
Kinda like European comics, which are full of puns. Like Iznogood, the evil vizir who wants to take over, and his cousin Iznotsobad the sailor.

Kenros (speedy demon) = Kentauros (Greek for "centaur". Also, Hercules / Heracles encountered many centaurs during his journeys. Ominously, Hercules / Heracles killed a famous centaur named Nessos, and was in turn killed by Nessos's poisonous blood)

Hyura (regenerating demon) = Hydra (a monster with multiple heads whose heads regenerate when cut off, and whom Hercules / Heracles killed as one of his Twelve Labours)

Doruushi (barrier demon) = Japanese for "shield" (Shirudo) read backwards

Isuta (spy demon's sister) and Asuta (spy demon) = Ishtar (Middle Eastern goddess of love, war, fertility, and sexuality) and Astarte (Greek name for Ishtar)

Harupii (flying demon) = Harpy

Definitive proof that Vegeta was originally the main character and the author had to go back and edit him due to copyright issues:







Thus, it can only follow that:



I'm not sure who Piuy is, I suppose Mr. Popo



EDIT: Yeah most definitely

My bad translation:

Panel 1:
Anne: "That's strange... from what they said the other night, there should be a village nearby."

Panel 2:
Piuy and birds: "Chun chun... chun"
Anne: "Piuy! Could it be that you're able to converse with the birds?!"

Panel 3:
Anne: "Isn't that amazing! What are the birds saying?"

Panel 4:
Piuy: "Don't know!"
Anne: "You don't know?!"

Big panel:
Piuy: "That's because I'm not a bird!"
Big text: "Somehow not a bird"
Anne: "Then what was all that just now!?"

Making me ashamed to feel the way that I do

Just read trough everything translated, thanks for making a thread or I would never have heard of this.

Same. I'm not sure how I feel about it though. This is probably something I'm going to forget about for weeks at a time and then catch up in chunks. There's a real flowing story here and I just want to know what it is. Not knowing is slowing my enthusiasm.

I know, I know, manga
