As part of our Summer of Short Stories project we're posting up the final storyline of OPG. Harley did a translation of it for another site, but that didn't go anywhere after the first chapter, and so we're happy to pick it up and make it available for all the US fans of the series. With the conclusion of this storyline Harley will have translated the entire fourth tankoban of the series and we will have made those translations available exclusively through Rumic World.
The Lamb's Future Part One
So in the first chapter, Kosaku gets a title match. I was curious about him telling Angela that he'll try especially hard because he knows God will be watching. He's become a Christian over the course of the series, but I don't really get the impression that he's serious about religion, or else he wouldn't continually try to get Angela to leave the church. I don't think its malicious in any sense, just that he's not really bright enough to understand the concept.
I really liked his final opponent, Ryusei. Matsuzaka was probably my favorite of all his foes and Ryusei has some of that ego to him. He's a real bastard, through and through and rather than just be an antagonist for Kosaku, he is for Angela as well, as he manipulates her pretty soundly in the first chapter by getting her to order the Dom Perignon. And Mizue, Angela's aunt, is a real character too.
So thats chapter one. Chapter two is already up, but lets get this conversation going!
