Yep, I am. Appreciate your hard work stepping up to translate both this and the anime prequel novels.

This marks the ending of Volume 1!
Whooopeee! I feel very proud of myself. Anyways, I'm going to take a break, for a few weeks. Don't worry, I'll start volume 2 and do that as well! The best part is that I have two copies of volume 2 meaning I can tear it apart and provide way better scans!

This is awesome! Thanks for putting in the hard work to translate all of these, I've always been interested in reading them. Would've been cool if they had made a Godzilla anime in the 90's like this manga.

Best kaiju game ever. Like, seriously, awesome to play and full of cool little nods to the films that make it up. Ten out of ten. Worth waiting for.

I realize it's about been a month plus since I've updated this thread, or my translations. I'm finished translating volume 2. Unlike volume 1 I have two copies of volume 2. I torn out the pages and have much higher quality scans than what was previously available with volume 1. This doesn't just apply to this specific Godzilla manga, but also the Godzilla manga Strikes back. Expect a lot of cool updates within the next few weeks.

Update:
Chapters 6,7, and 8 are all completely finished. I will upload the chapter 6 on monday, 7 the following monday, and 8 the one after that! Additionally, the final two chapters are almost complete!

Added in 1 day 17 hours 54 minutes 50 seconds:
Chapter 6 is now live! You can read it here! This one features King Ghidorah!

It is SO WEIRD seeing very manga styled characters next to a rather realistic looking Godzilla on that first title page. It's almost like Amazing World of Gumball or something.

Yeah, definitely weird seeing these things in full context, versus seeing a singular panel 6 years ago and wondering what was going on.

Is it canon to showa series? Allegedly there were two Ghidorahs in the movies, and here Ghidorah is the "third generation", plus the Son of Godzilla flashback. If that's the case, then it seems like that Godzilla here isn't Minya due to the manga happening in 1995.

Oh yeah, hmm I guess 1995 and 1999 would disagree with that.

The continuity might be, might not be existent. It seems to be it's own weird hybrid continuity. Later issues reference events of Godzilla 1984, and as you just mentioned a lot of monsters were already implied to exist.

It's been a long few months, but a lot of fun. I'll start something new soon.
