    がんばれ小傘さん 585

    自分の日頃の行いを小傘さんに投影して描いてみようという日記漫画です。

    というわけで、小傘さんは早苗さんのもとに戻って来ました。
    三ヶ月にも渡ったボストン旅行記もとうとう終了・・・とみせかけてあと数話続きます。
    まあほんとに後日談みたいなかんじなので、旅行記としては今回で終わりです。
    みなさん長期間お疲れ様でした。
    そして読んでいただいてありがとうございました。

    ボストンでお世話になったみなさんもありがとうございました。
    本当に一生の思い出になる旅行でした。
    最後に今回撮った写真の一部を公開しておきます。

    And so, Kogasa-san returned to Sanae-san. After running for three months, the travelog of my Boston trip has finally come to an end...or so you'd think, but it's got a few more strips to go. Well, they actually feel more like a sequel, so as a travelog, the story ends here. Thanks for all your effort over this long haul, everyone. And thank you so much for reading.

    Thank you very much, too, to everyone who took care of me in Boston. This trip was truly something I'll remember all my life.

    In closing, I'm releasing some of the photos that I took during this trip: http://goo.gl/7d8j1

    Reader-added tags include "Welcome back, Kogasa-san", "Boob-Burial Corps" ("Oppai Uzimari-tai", likely a pun on "I want to bury down in those boobs"), "This is probably what happiness is", "I'm jealous, Kogasa-san" and "A relationship good enough to come meet without being told".

    The survey asks what comes next:

    What should I do when I've come back from overseas?
    • For now, go to sleep
    • Eat some Japanese food
    • Watch the programs I had recorded!
    • Work...I guess...
    • Let's go to karaoke!

    Wait what? Three months?!
    *Checks back*
    ....Truth, this is the 89th strip of Boston arc. Holey sheet. Time sure flies by when waiting for new strips.

    Also, it sure is nice to have someone you want to hug like that when you get back home. I'd go paru-paru, but I can't even get jealous of happy people. I guess, your luck counterbalances all your misfortune, Kogasa-san - ain't that great? :3

    Thank you very much for honoring us with your presence, Mizuki-san! Perhaps we will be able to work out something like this again some day.

    - From Hoshiguma Yamame

    (Also, Shou-san had a message for you: "Thank you very much for the kind thoughts about my cosplay. I'm sorry you didn't get me for the photo, but if you can come back, and I'll definitely stop!")

    Kogasa-san is in her happy place. Welcome back! I don't blame her for being a little worn; so much excitement was packed into three days of convention! Thanks for sharing your photos with us, Mizuki-san!

    For the poll, there is but one option: Let's go to Karaoke, and sing a happy song, so we can remember all the good times we had, instead of being sad that it's over.

    We're all greatly honored to have been able to bring you over to Boston, Mizuki-san! We all had a great time sharing the convention with you. I hope we will be able to do this again someday. No goodbyes, just see you later.

    As we approach the conclusion of the Anime Boston arc, all of us look forward to see what Kogasa-san's next adventure is; thanks for continuing to share Kogasa-san's story with us!

    I received a reply from Mizuki-san on reposting the thank you image with the penguins from Sanae-san.

    こんにちは。
    早苗さんにお話をするのが遅くなってお返事遅れました、すいません。

    再投稿の件ですが、OKだそうです。
    サーバーの整理をしててうっかり消してしまったそうです。

    I'm able to read the gist of it, but I won't try to translate it word for word. I'd be completely missing the tone and minor points like that if I tried right now. The essence of it is that the image was accidentally deleted while reorganizing his server. It should be OK to repost it.

    So, without further ado, here's the image again. http://i.imgur.com/5LxU9.jpg

    After I get some sleep, I'll take the time and give this the translation attempt it deserves. I'll also write out a proper reply to him.

    Hello there.

    I ran late talking to Sanae-san, so I'm late in responding, sorry.

    Regarding the reposting matter, it seems it's OK. Apparently, she carelessly deleted it while organizing the server.

    (He uses the verb suffix "-sou desu" ("it seems/I hear that..."), implying that he isn't the one who deleted it or gave permission for reposting.)

    Awww.

    Oh. Uh, well, I guess you can just focus on the reply now.
