~Comics~

These are little comics called "8 Beat Gag" that were published in magazines and drawn by Shima Atsuko (they're labeled Domestic Version because these comics originally started out focusing on western musicians, before including the "domestic" Japanese ones in the 90s) When I saw a listing for a compilation book of all the comics from over the years I was super pumped! I decided that I'd get these things translated or die trying.

I paid for the translations but the scanning cleaning and typesetting was all done by me (unless stated otherwise) and I've never done anything like this before, so if it seems a little wonky please overlook it and if you see any translation errors please let me know!

I hate to beat a dead horse but again: PLEASE DO NOT REPOST OR PUBLICLY SHARE THESE PAGES ANYWHERE, sharing a panel or bits of a page is fine with credit just please don't repost any whole pages. But feel free to save them! To view the page click on the thumbnail view of the page and it should open a new tab with it full size. I've ordered the stories the way they appear in the book, not necessarily chronologically. Happy reading!
