KuraMANGA, NO. 06: This Efficient Life (August)

[Ed. note: Read along from top-right to lower-left!]

※ The world’s sort of a mess lately, isn’t it…
※ Work more efficiently! Live more efficiently!

※ These are tough times…

※ But, we do actually want to make our games efficiently, don’t we?
※ Yeah! Detailed design docs! Make lists! Prioritize tasks!

※ Keep everything stable and organized! Organized!!

※ But aren’t games just a way to kill time?
※ What if games are a waste of everyone’s life?
※ How do you know when to just trash something?
※ Maybe they are just inefficient garbage.

※ [intense ethereal whooshing]

※ Maybe we’re toiling away on something completely useless…
※ But… that’s exactly why… I try to add one unforgettable treasure in every game…
※ Great one!

KuraMANGA, NO. 05: The Terror of Tanabata (July)

[Ed. note: Read along from top-right to lower-left!]

※ Pulling an all-nighter again…

※ I wish I could be stronger and work more without getting wiped out…

※ Heh heh heh… did someone say wish?

※ The thing is, the things we wish for do come true, but with that comes the negative…
All the good things, all the bad things, they happen together in a balance!

※ That’s life, huh?
I don’t even really believe wishing for things makes them come true.

※ Hey, uh, what are your wishes like, Luck-san?

※ [Demon Lord Fortress Designer Luck-san] Heh heh heh… I wish… to become a Demon Lord!
I want my own dungeon! Where people try to defeat me!

※ [Frightened Villagers]
※ Great one!

KuraMANGA, NO. 04: Saying Goals Out Loud (June)

[Ed. note: Read along from top-right to lower-left!]

※ At the morning meeting…

※ Say, Mr. Icchi, what do you think about talking about your goals?
※ Hmmm, yeah… they’re satisfying to say out loud, aren’t they…

※ I wanna be a pirate king!
※ I wanna be a toy maker!

※ I just wanna grow up!

※ I think they’re fine to talk about with close friends…
But I wouldn’t go around telling them to the whole world…

※ Erp.. Shhhhiiii—oh no…!
I’ve already told the entire world I’m making an RPG…!

※ [Strike Force Captain Luck-san] I declare that, this year, I shall lead a solo charge into a maid cafe!
※ Great one!

KuraMANGA, NO. 03: The Motivation Committee (May)

[Ed. note: Read along from top-right to lower-left!]

※ At the morning meeting…
※ Say, everyone, what do you all do to stay motivated?

※ Drink sake after work!
※ Don’t isolate yourself?
※ Do your best at the thing you’re great at!
※ Talk yourself up!

※ Should we even be relying this much on “motivation” to begin with?
※ Just keep working steadily, day in and day out.
Is that really not enough?

※ Whaa~

※ [First-Time Morning Meeting Participant, Sound Effect Supervisor, Sugiyama-san]
Just find the thing no one else is doing and do that!
Right?

※ Great one!
