Here we go again, another cool parody of Sailormoon. No idea if this will be seen outside of Australia [since I got my new feed I haven't seen anything get out of Australia *sigh* here's hoping...] I still have the translation of the first episode on file if anyone is interested.... Thanks to Cynthia for the translation!

Let's Go! Unagi-chan R Newtype Genki R 1994/04
By: Asari Yoshitou (Space Family Carlvinson, Manga Science, Wahhaman)

Translation: Cynthia Ma (cynthia@wapiko.apana.org.au) 19 March 1994
Editing: Michael Edwards (michaele@wapiko.apana.org.au) 02 April 1994

As normal the numbers nn.p refer to page number (nn) and panel (p).
My panel descriptions are in [], explanations are in <>

Another story from Asari Yoshitou and this the second of probably the weirdest mainstream SailorMoon parody. The first story was in the November 1993 Genki R. Unagi is drawn like the ironing creature in Carlvinson but with a Sailor Suit and that hair... She is sort of a cross between a black pacman and a fly....

Genki R is the comic insert in Newtype and is included in the April and
November issues. This issue and the last two have also had a CLAMP story.

Anyway back to the main feature:

In Sailormoon, Usagi's family name is "Tsukino" which is "Tsuki" = moon and "no" = field... in this manga "Tsukiji" is a place in Tokyo known for the largest fishmarket in Japan, "no" = field, and "Unagi" = eel giving us the name of our "heroine" Tsukijino Unagi.

Ami-chan's face is made up of the hiragana "Heno" "Heno" "Mohe" (eye,
eye, mouth) that is a "Henohenomoheji" face [sort of indicates baka!] and
her name is made up from "A" = rice bran, "mi" = prawn. She also tends
to have a sweat drop on her face while talking with Unagi. [Although there
is good reason for that....]

59.1 [ Unagi relating the story to Ami-chan who is very worried and Ami ]

Ami: So... so...

60.1 [ Ami looks at Unagi ]
Ami: What happened after that?
Unagi: It's a problem that the scum* of cats is so thick.

60.2 [ Stunned silence ]

60.3 [ Ami is starting to look more worried than usual ]
Ami: Eh?
Unagi: I said - because the scum of cat's flesh is thick, when boiled
there are bubbles so it's a bit of a problem.

60.4 [ Ami lets this sink in ]

60.5 [ A pool of sweat from her sweat beads begins to form... ]

60.6 [ and Ami bursts into tears...
Ami: Wa-----------h!
[ Meanwhile Unagi hasn't noticed Ami's distress ]
Unagi: Personally I prefer dogs

------ END ------

scum* actually the word is "aku", it's the bubbles and stuff around the rim of the pot when you are boiling meat...
