Lufia/Estpolis gag comics scanlation.

Thanks to Number One Lufia Fan Sinrevi for scanning these pages from various Estpolis books and guides. Here we have some 3koma (3 panels as opposed to the usual 4), 4 of them relating to Estpolis Denki/Lufia & The Fortress of Doom and 6 for Estpolis Denki 2/Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals/Lufia.

Knowledge of the games probably helps and knowledge of Japanese culture and language is also useful for a couple of these: for example, knowing how strict they are with sorting waste is important for the gag with Lexis, and one joke is simply untranslatable due to a distinctly Japanese pun (so I sort of left it and explained it in a sidebar note). Also, the North American version of Lufia 1 has a stuffed pig item which in the Japanese version is a monkey.

Anyway I translated these into English myself so that Western Lufia fans could appreciate them. Please share them! Remember, read right to left. And if you know about any more comics you’d like me to translate, let me know!
