Awesome translation dude! This bit creeped me out the most I think: "It’s not like the client says, ‘Hey, I’m so rich – why don’t I buy a new liver just for fun!’ That’s only a small minority!" I mean, holy shit, all sorts of crazy crap happens in the world but to know that in some -- albeit minority but this quote seemingly confirms it DOES happen does it not -- cases all the horror is justified purely by some fucktard wanting a new liver for shits and giggles!? Thats utterly atrocious!

I think this sort of crime was more prevalent in the wilder days of the yakuza, before they really got corporate. I’m guessing the person being interviewed wasn’t around then.

This was very cool of you to translate and post. And yeah, crazy last chapter. I worked for a security firm a long time ago, and one night one of the higher ups came and covered a 3rd shift spot for my partner. We sat there and he told me all kinds of crazy stories about how he used to work as a private detective tracking down missing children, and of the child export business he claims is mainly run out of New Orleans. On the one hand he could have been bullshitting me, but on the other it made me feel kind of icky just to hear it, but I couldn’t stop listening. I imagine it was the same sort of horrible fascination that this guy listened to stories about children abducted for organs.

@taoisticbeer: Sorry, the mahjong chapter was INSANE. They had a whole “mahjongg tile FONT” and it was all about arcane rules.
@fish, js, tomd, z: you’re welcome! Thanks for reading, and hopefully the next translations will be a bit better. Haven’t decided what to do yet, though . . .

Still, thanks for translating. Man. What a book!
