pg 2 ------------- Nice to meet you or hello. This is a Mythical Detective Loki book. At last publishing time has come. (It's still coming actually). Because the cover was added to the manuscript quite a while ago, if the art is completely different I'll probably want to fix it. I really wanted the art to stay the same from the start, but keeping a style the same forever is impossible. I think there are a lot of poorly-drawn parts, so please overlook them. The concept for the first section involving Loki and Narukami is...casully flirtatious? If you are able to enjoy this story even a little bit, I'll be happy. December 2001, Aki Akari pg 3 ------------ Fra 1. B1: I am Master Loki's son, the proud wolf Fenrir. Fra 2. B1: Wow, Loki! Who's this? Is he yours? B2: Human, don't talk to my father like that! SFX: Bow wow wow wow wow!! (B3: Fe...Fenrir?) B4: This is Fenrir. He lives with me now. Fra 3. B1: I'm Mayura. Nice to meet you, Fenrir. SFX: Kiss Fra 4. B1: Mayura!! You shouldn't kiss animals!! B2: Oops, is Loki jealous? B3: Let's be friends just like your father and I. SFX: Kyu-n, Kyu-n pg 4 --------------- I wonder what their difference in height is. This is my most recent work. Their stature and their body proportions are incorrect, but if I didn't make Loki small, Narukami couldn't hug him. pg 5 -------------- Fra 1. B1: I'm so hungry... B2: Someone give me some food... Fra 2. B1: Hey, B2: Hey, isn't anyone here? SFX: Zuka zuka (makes a rude entrance) pg 6 -------------- Fra 1. B1: The door was unlocked. How careless... Fra 2. B1: ...and he's sleeping Fra 3. B1: This room....!! Fra 4. B1: It's filled with the sweet smell of cake, (B2: but there isn't any here...) (B3: This is harassment!!) B4: Loki, get out of bed now! SFX: Pe (falling) B5: Punya! pg 7 --------------- Fra 1. B1: You had cake for a snack when I was hungry?? B2: Ugh.. Fra 2. B1: God, shut up Narukami! (B2: And I was sound asleep too...) SFX: Howan Fra 3. SFX: Howan, cchipu (Narukami is getting hot/feverish) Fra 4. B1: Your lips look...tasty... B2: Huh??! pg 8 --------------- Fra 1. B1: Hey, let me taste inside your mouth B2: ....do you know how to...deep kiss? Fra 2. B1: What he heck is wrong with you? B2: I'm gonna eat you (cake)! [Derangement] B3: So...the rumors were true... Fra 3. B1: As I thought, the cute boy that Narukami liked was Loki. B2: Loki!! B3: Yamino!! Bait!! Quick, give him something to eat!! B4: Those lips are looking tastier by the second... pg 9 ----------------- Fra 1. B1: Loki, Narukami... SFX: Ki (Mayura is serious) B2: tell me what your real relationship is!! Fra 2. B1: We're siblings Fra 3. B1: No you're not. You said you weren't! SFX: grrr (Mayura is angry) Fra 4. B1: And when I asked Yamino about your relationship with Loki, (B2: uh...) B3: I felt like I'd been deceived. Fra 5. B1: Is this indication of some kind of secret? SFX: Giku, Giku (sound of fear/nervousness - "oh God") pg 10 ----------------- Fra 1. B1: ...I can't believe it Fra 2. B1: Narukami's illegitimate child?! B2: What!? (B3: Illegitimate child......?) Fra 3. B1: I mean...if it were Yamino, I could believe it, but Narukami? Fra 4. B1: Jeez, why didn't you say so sooner, Loki? (Is your mother Shifu? Did I do it with her??) B2: You're kidding, right? B3: If I admitted it, what would happen? B4: If he denies it, this will go on forever. (What age is he anyway?) pg12 ------------------- I couldn't draw Hemu at all, so I drew Harry Potter Hemu ^^ Loki and Hemu calendars and other goods are soo cute. As for a compliation book, how about Loki gets posessed by an evil spirit and becomes an obedient and good Hemu? That sounds gross, doesen't it? I'd want him to return to his former malicious cute self. What's that you say? He was originally good? What? pg 13 ------------------- Fra 1. B1: Please imagine B2: hmm.. Fra 2. B1: Blue sea, white, sandy beach B2: You are now on the seashore of an island in the south. B3: You are stopped at the seashore. SFX: I see... (B4: Punyan) Fra 3. B1: If you look around... Fra 4. B1: you'll see a person lying underneath a large umbrella. B2: Are they collapsed and dying? (B3: That is one pretty uncool umbrella...) pg 14 ---------------------- Fra 1. B1: You B2: Hey, are you alive? (B3: ugh...) Fra 2. B1: I'm starving and I can't move. B2: This person is your ideal type. Fra 3. B1: Why was it Narukami?! (He's crude and insensitive!!) B2: It...it was Narukami?! B3: What's wrong, Loki? I'm what? pg 15 ---------------------- Fra 1. B1: Who do you like? SFX: Aah- B2: Mayura Fra 2. B1: Really? Oh, Loki! B2: My beauty is dangerous, isn't it? B3: Wrong! That isn't true!! Freyr doesn't think so! B4: What a...mystery. As usual it is impossible to know what Loki is thinking... Fra 3. B1: Jeez, that's enough. Stop the tape already. B2: What tape? B4: Say the person's name that you imagined in your heart!! B5: What? Well okay... pg 16 ------------------------ Fra 1. B1: Yamino! B2: Wrong answer!! B3: Loki! You're only denying your love for me on the surface, right? Are you denying your love for me? B4: Please don't be led astray by Freyr's words. Fra 2. B1: Okay, so I didn't get it from the beginning. How about Narukami! B2: Wrong!! Like extreme poverty, this is out of the question!! B3: I'm so happy! You imagined me from deep in your heart. SFX: Betaa (sound of two bodies colliding) B4: Listen to Freyr! Fra 3. B1: Talk to Freyr! Loki! SFX: Buchi! B2: If we both love each other, there's no problem! Let's have a baby! B3: That's impossible! There are limits to magic, so we can't....no, no, I mean, listen to Freyr! Fra 4. B1: So who does Loki really like? (B2: Mayura is obvlivious) pg 17 -------------------------- Fra 1. B1: I am Master Loki's son, the proud wolf Fenrir. Fra 2. B1: Your hand. SFX: Bark! Fra 3. B1: Other hand. SFX: Bark! Fra 4. B1: Frisbee! SFX: Chomp Fra 5. B1: Loki, This dog is clever!! (B2: Of course, cuz he's mine.) (B3: haha...Feri...Fenrir...) B4: Older brother...you have lost authority over your own dog... (B5: Did you notice?) pg 18 ----------------------- Fra 1. B1: Do you think your true shape is hot? B2: I've lost my heart to it too. Fra 3: B1: Stupi... Fra 4: B1: ...It's okay. I'm not interested. B2: Interested? I am, I am! Fra 5. B1: But, if I did it with you while you're in this shape, I'd be a criminal, right? (B2: Hmm...I wonder how far it could go and still be okay...) (B3: So you look at me like that?) B4: Are the ideas of the real Torugami and the mere high school student Narukami competing in your head? B5: Please just keep competing... pg 19 ------------------- Fra 1. B1: And today's fortune is... Fra 2. B1: Ansuz. B2: My rune. Fra 3. B1: Loki! B2: There's something that everybody's doing at school now. Wanna try? Fra 4. (B1: I wonder if it involves playing with Mayura...) B2: What is it? Fra 5. B1: Your "True Heart's Feeling" Game! pg 20 -------------------- Fra 1. B1: I'm gonna play and find out how much Loki really loves me. B2: Love?! Fra 2. B1: Question 1! I'm really thirsty. What drink are you going to choose for me, Loki? Fra 3. B1: A drink...hmm... B2: Here, have some oolong tea. Fra 4. B1: Oolong tea is a little cold. I want a partner with a little more feeling than that. B2: What's it gonna take to cross this line with Loki? If I lose this chance, we might stay friends forever. Fra 5. B1: This game can't tell my true feelings. It's just a stupid game of Yamino's. B2: But it was pretty accurate... B3: I wonder if it's my fault. (B4: I wonder if it would be bad if I crossed the line...) pg 21 -------------------- Fra 1. B1: Okay, let's try the same question, but for a different person. Fra 2. B1: Which would you pick for Yamino? 1) milk 2) oolong tea 3) cola 4) sake Fra 2. B1: Yamino->Child->Milk B2: Milk, I guess. Fra 3. B1: Your need for love is not filled. You yearn to be held gently. Do you have a father or mother complex? B2: Are you lonely, Loki? Fra 4: B1: I will always love you, Loki. B2: I'll hold you like a mother anytime you want! (B3: A mother...) pg 22 -------------------- Fra 1. B1: ....hmmm... Fra 2. B1: Hey, Loki. What kind of drink would you give Narukami? B2: This is another question to measure my love, isn't it? (Ugh...) B3: Why not? Might as well. Fra 3. B1: Sake, I guess. (B2: Drink with me, Loki...!) (B3: Torukami = alcohol and food) Fra 4. B1: ....just as I thought. Fra 5. B1: I didn't really think you would pick that, but for some reason or another you did and... SFX: heeheehee B2: ...somehow I can imagine that I don't want to hear this but....what? pg 23 ------------------------ Fra 1. B1: Deep in your heart, you desire to change yourself for Narukami. SFX: B2: HUH? Fra 2. B1: Depending on the timing and the situation, you may have a rich love together! B2: Hey!! Just a mi..... B3: You want to forget everything and violently love each other. SFX: Fra 3. B1: Hey, Loki, give me something to eat. SFX: Fra 4. B1: I think I'm just in the way here, so I'm gonna go home. B2: Good luck, Narukami. B3: .................. B4: Yeah, okay. Good luck with what? pg 24 --------------------------- Fra 1. (B1: You want to change yourself) B2: Hey! Food, food! B3: Yea...yeah.. Fra 2. *B1: That wish is so common. Everyone has that wish. Mayura! *B2: If I let myself be changed by Narukami, I'd want to be scolded. SFX: Clink Fra 3. B1: A...Ansuz.... Fra 4. B1: Loki! You're gonna eat too, right? Fra 5. B1: .......I don't believe it pg 25 ------------------------ Fra 1. B1: This rune means that I should go with my natural reactions, I think... It does, doesn't it? ...and I kept thinking of Narukami... B2: Hey Loki! If you aren't hungry, I'm gonna eat! Fra 2. B1: Mesenger Rune (Lokikami) pg 26 --------------------------- This is the postscript. So how was Magic Loki book number 1? My drawings still aren't that great and because I drew them so slow, what got put into this book was whatever I had finished at the last moment. And so, I didn't draw Freyr and Freiya? and Hemu or Hikari-chan at all. When this volume was out, I thought it would be over, but we're releasing a second volume! March would be....impossible, but maybe May of this year. Volume 2 is already in the works, and so my will to do it is already kind of disappearing. Drawing until it's finished takes time!? I don't really have the patience and Kan-chan is hard to draw! Well, it's drawing manga without a Loki tone, so I'll be fine I guess, but Narukami was hard to draw. I'm really bad at drawing that type, though I can kind of draw Loki or Freyr I guess. Until next time, I'll try my best to work with a little diligence. As for this time, thank you very much for getting this book. I hope we will meet again... Important events are in Nagoya and Osaka at the summer and winter conventions. In May the book is being released in Tokyo. The genre is "Maloki." The circle name is "Logical Rondo"or "M-Frontline." As for stocks, right now there are only a few copies of this book left. The Peace Maker book is sold out. Thank you. There are no plans for resale. A new copy of this original, on the other hand, is being published. If you would like more information about this or other books, please send a message to the contact address on the following page. pg 28 ------------------------------ Publisher - Logical Rondo Publishing Date - December 29th, 2001 Printer - book - Ayami Printing cover - Kansai Art Printing Contact address - Nomura Misao Ichinomiya City, Takagi 3-13-24, 491-0837 Japan translator's note --------------- The rune Ansuz is the fourth letter of the futhark and indicates several things generally related to the spoken word. Ansuz usually means that knowledge will be received or that the bearer will seek or take advice. It signals inspiration, enthusiasm, speech, and true vision among other things. In this doujinshi, Loki thought of Narukami several times. According to the psychology game in the last story, he may subconsciously like or even love Narukami. The fact that his rune for the day was Ansuz may suggest that he has received knowledge or wisdom or that he should take the advice given to him, in this case, that of the book. It also means he may be inspired or receive a true vision. For further information about Ansuz or other runes, I suggest looking at http://www.bewitchingways.com/runes/runes.htm
