Rohan Kishibe Does not Move, the 6th original story starring everyone’s favorite Morioh manga artist, has been released and also scanned and translated for your English viewing pleasure.
It starts off innocently enough with a quick trip to Tonio’s place for a good meal. Rohan has evidently started delving into culinary criticism. He and Tonio exchange a few words and are suddenly off to poach a rare form of abalone that lives in the seas near Morioh. Tonio has his reasons that he must get them. Cooking. It’s for cooking. Rohan hasn’t grown and less… well, Rohan, and goes along not because he wants to help Tonio with his “cooking,” but only because he’s personally interested. But poaching abalone was a crime punishable by death in Morioh’s past, so this won’t be an easy trip.
It’s a fun story. Another notch in the “weird shit in that town from Part 4 belt” and just another day in the lives of stand users. There’s a little action, there’s a little cameo from the old Part 4 gang, there’s the death defying usage of sea creatures to escape a watery grave. Sit down and have a read for a few minutes and enjoy it.
The only oddity is this. Apparently, this universe’s Higashikata’s own part of or possibly all of a bay, but we’re talking about the Part 4 Higashikatas, not the Part 8 ones. The translator notes that too and agrees that, for a moment, Araki might have forgotten which family he was supposed to be using. Or maybe Josuke just comes from money. He was known to wear expensive as hell shoes and socks, but he made such a big stink about losing that lottery money. Maybe his mom is just really stingy.
It’s been translated by and you can download and read it over on YouDon’tKnowThings Tumblr.
