Fool for the City





















Today, we've got a special treat for you: something that isn't porn! This is a oneshot by my favorite mangaka, Mamoru Nagano, the man behind The Five Star Stories. The story is kinda like a mash-up of Macross and Rush's "2112". We'll be releasing chapters periodically, so look out for new chapters in the future.

Oh, and apologies in advance to all of you guitar afficionados. I translated those parts as best I could, but I don't know much about guitars, so I may have made some mistakes. If you spot something odd or wrong, let me know and we can fix it.

Fool for the City Ch.1 (FftC) [Mamoru Nagano] *Non-H*

DDL

And yes, it is a direct reference to the (excellent) Foghat album. The omake pages even include a 2-page spread on what the song's about. Nagano's a huge music fan; among his myriad other hobbies, which include fashion design and being an enormous control freak.

  1. Thanks for doing Fool for the City. I thought I was the only other person outside of Japan who'd seen it.
    As I recall, there is some crossover with Five Star Stories as F.U. Rogner shows up in both.

  2. Yeah, it seems like Nagano enjoys re-using old characters/mechs/plots from his older stuff (like L-Gaim and the Colus arc from FSS)

  3. Hi :)

    So, I searched the whole internet for the translations of Fool for the City, but I only found 3 chapters. Don't you intend to finish this one shot? I'm becoming a huge fan of Mamoru Nagano, and I want to check his other works. Please, continue your work for the sake of all FFS fans around there :P

    I'd be very pleased if you answer me. Thanks for the first chapters, but I'm looking forward to see this whole manga translated ^^

    1. Don't know why we stalled out on it, but we probably should look into getting more of it done.
