I don't understand the purpose of life.
Is it just to reproduce? I don't want to.
Is it just to enjoy life? I don't.
Is it up to each person to find out? I don't know what it is or how I would go about finding out.

That's what I'm thinking about, and if the replies to suicide anon from the last thread are anything to go on, I'm probably not the only one.

Pre experiment
"Ghost building"

Panel1
"That mansion is really dangerous"
"Apparently (hearsay) many people have commited suicide here"
"Even though nobody lives here anymore there is still a presence of people"
"Apparently (hearsay) it doesn't have a single window"
"Apparently (hearsay) it's a stage for the occult."

Panel2
"Apparently (hearsay) The high school kids who've snuck in here in the past have all commited suicide too"
"Every night the sounds of something hitting the ground can be heard"

Panel3
"Even though it's in the middle of the city there is no phone of wifi signal inside."
"But still phones ring"

Panel4
fx: *Panting*
"When you stand on the roof someone is pulling at your feet"
"You definitely shouldn't get close to it"
"Kitano makoto (??) also said I definitely shouldn't come here"

Panel5
fx: *crumble*

Note: I got tired of saying "apparently" but almost every line has "rashii" in it which indicates hearsay. Translating literally often gets a bit clunky. I can do 1-2 pages a day in some moments of dead time. Now someone just needs to typeset it.

Thanks so much! Take your time these threads normally hang around for awhile. I have a buddy who might be able to typeset it I'll see what he can do.

Panel1
"ha, ha (panting)"

Panel2
More panting

Panel3
"How hard is it to die?"

Panel4
"All you have to do is take one more step"
"Why can't you just do that?"
"You know you don't need a physical body right?"
"Uh, uhm..."
"I kinda..."

Panel5
"The pain is really for but a moment"
"It would be trivial compared to the pain of

living out a long life in agony"

Panel6
"Well, I..."
"Yes, but, well..."

Panel7
"Wouldn't you agree, Eiri?"
fx: "type type"
"Unforgivable! Absolutely Unforgivable!"
"Die! die! die!"
"I'm a god you know!?"
"You guys are all so ignorant!"

Note: This is actually kinda fun, I've never translated anything before. I decided to make the translation a bit less literal to make it flow better.

Panel1
"You don't have a single reason to live right?"
"Well then!"

Panel2

Panel3
fx: *Sniffle*
"...Sorry for saying such mean things. I

actually do understand you know."
"Even though it is ones own life, why does it

seem so hard to end it?"

Panel4
"Argh! In order to end this misery we must

quickly connect this world and that world with

the wired and rewrite the bad memories!

Panel5
"Miss. Yomoda"

square panel(SQ): "I was first approached by them last summer"

Panel2
"It's not that hard is it?"
"Many people have commited suicide here you know"
SQ: "The first time I came here..."
SQ: "I wasn't able to jump either. Then when I came back..."

Panel3
"Since you won't die..."
"Could you do us a favor?"

Panel4
"God?"
fx: *type type*
"I'll stop you! I'll stop you! Absolutely unforgivable!"
"I'll make you regret this! (Mumbling I can't translate due to tiny kanji)"

Panel5
"God is a program"
"We are having trouble with the interface design"
"We're making progress with the hardware but..."

Panel6
"We want to nurture god's thoughts inside of you"

Panel7

Note: I'll have to come back to that tough bit later.

>>12264
You can credit me as Krithalith. I think I found the author here http://satoimokrkr.blog.fc2.com/blog-date-201405.html
If you scroll past the porn there's a blog post in which I think he describes his preparations for selling this doujin at comicon.

>>12264
Also this blog only has the same 11 pages you posted, probably as a sample for the full doujin. The full doujin is 43 pages, and might be a bit hard to find.

Also do you have skype or something? It might be useful to have a better communication channel for typesetting etc.

Page 5

Panel1
"I actually wanted to decline back there..."
"Human consciousness is born from

unconsciousness"
"Have you gotten used to the isolation tank?"

Panel2
"An aqueous solution of epsom salt allows the

body to float."
"No sight, no hearing. No sense of touch."
"The lack of senses fascilitated by the suit and

tank allow for a state of unconsciousness that

will let you burrow into the inner space."

Panel3
"In this state of separation from the physical

world please hypothesize and talk about regular

people to Lain."
"We will monitor her brain in the meantime"
"In your dream state you will develop and be

able to control an interactive character, a

quasi-personal interface."
"Our aim is to insert you into the living

machine next to you."

Panel4
"The feeling of being touched but not feeling

anything..."
"I'm still not used to it"

Panel5
"In a sense you will be taking the friends from

your dream and bringing them here"
"I still don't understand the meaning behind

those words from Yasuo."
"Are you ready? I'm gonna close it now."

Note: This was a tough page. Very technical yet vague language. One of the unfortunate things about the Japanese language is that you can be extremely vague if you want to, because you don't need subjects or objects. You can literally just string some verbs and nouns together and make a word salad.

>>12238

panel1
"Take the hypnotism guidance pill"

panel2

"Liked the idea that Lain was a real friend, and

dreaming together.

"Hey Lain"
"What is it, Chisa?"
"We're friends arn't we?"
"Of course, we are friends"
"...thanks"
"Why do you ask?"
"Well you're my dream-friend right?"

panel2
"Therefore if I don't regularly check I feel

like you might disappear"
"And it scares me"
"Oh is that it? Don't worry about that. I won't

dissapear. After all, we're friends."

panel3
"But whatever I ask you about you can only

answer with things I already know."
"That makes it a bit uncertain."
"The fact that you're not wearing a uniform is

also because I must be thinking "That's the kind

of girl you are""
"It kinda feels like you're just a doll...

sorry"

panel4
"Why do you think that?"
"Why do you think there's a doll next to you?"
"I'm really by your side"

panel5
"Why do you say it's not real even though we're

talking like this?"
"We're friends so..."
"...So whether it be in reality, a dream, the

wired, or that world, it doesn't matter"

panel6
"I think so too but..."
"...but reality is..."
"Aaa c'mon! I'm tired of this tedious

discussion!"

panel2
"Thank you for your help Chisa."
"That will be all for today"
"You can go home now if you like, or you can go back to the roof if you want."

panel3
"...uhm"

panel4
"The thing you encountered during your dive..."
"You must be thinking that it wasn't just a part of your imagination, that you were talking to the "real Lain"."
"However this can not be."

panel5
"There is no "brain" inside that body"
"The brain running on this server has only the minimum requirements for maintaining the body."
"A combination of artifical organs."
"In other words the hardware was insufficient for the creation of life right from the start"
"I'm gonna get you! I'll wreck you! I'll reduce you to a pulp!"
"You incompetent idiots! You maggots beneath my feet! I'll rip your arms to shreds..."
"I'll cut your dicks off and XXXX"

Note: Eiri is a bit of a spaz lol

panel1
"Your conversation with "The real Lain" was

nothing more than a psychedelic experience."
"All we're making here is a manipulatable

interactive interface."
"A machine fit for a sofisticated Turing test's

partner."
"It's not an artificial human, nor a demon."

panel2
"John C. Lily, The inventor of the isolation

tank, believed he was talking to some alien

force that controlled the world but..."
"...is that really the truth?"
"Your experience must have been something like

that."

panel3
"So I wasn't really connected to anyone."

panel4
"But..."

panel5
"Laundry?"
"There shouldn't be any regular people living

here though..."

Notes: Thus concludes the last page we have ATM.
