Manga: P.S. Three-san

ps3-san

P.S. Three-san (amazon) is a manga by IKa which was originally posted online as a web comic but was recently published and sold in a book. The story is about this girl called PS3-san who is trying to become an idol, and her main rivals are Wii-san and Hakomaru-san (referring to the 360).

I couldn’t think of a way to introduce the manga effectively so I made everything easier by translating a few of the strips instead.

It’s a webcomic so you can still read it on the author’s site.

The book version has some changes to the dialogue so they don’t directly refer to any of the companies or consoles, but is basically the same thing (and same image resolution - he didn’t redraw them).

Also you’re a true console otaku if you understand everything + extra bonus points if you recognise the character used to represent Koei.

Thanks to Iggy on the mmcafe bbs for pointing out the manga to me

    So true

    I guess I’m not incestuous, then, because I don’t speak Japanese fluently. Haha, it’s funny because there’s a significant number of borderline incest hentai anime and manga. Those crazy Japanese and their perversion of anything that moves.

    Way to shoot yourself in the foot there, Mr. FUCK BUSINESS.

    Hey; I don’t speak fluent Japanese or have the time to spend in jail for chasing after children. It’s bad enough that I have to sit through, and expose, shows where grown men can’t even defend themselves. But the sexualization of children is just sick.

    I have better things to spend $300+ on than overrated video game systems. Why should my opinions have changed now?

    Lol, this guy is a Zhuge Liang fan. In fact, playing Koei games made me learn romanced china’s three kingdom history XD

  5. Zepy Says:

    Oh not Zhuge Liang, everybody recognises him I think.

    The girl on the other hand!

    >>SARCASM HAS NO PLACE IN YOUR LIFE. WANNA GO TO THAILAND?

    Sarcasm’s not my problem.

    Scum like former Florida congressman Mark Foley ARE.

    Why is (a percentage of) Japan doing this to itself? Why underaged children? Why not legally-aged (and otherwise hot) women?

    そうだ。私も日本言語が話せることはできることができております。足元にご注意ください。

    えぇぇぇっと。ちょっと待った。ロリって悪いの?どこが?

  9. Anonymouse Says:

    Hmmm. Underaged children? You mean there are children who are not underage?

  10. wit Says:

    In Tyrenol’s world, Boku no Pico is a “feel good” title and the Negima girls are really 18.

    @Anonymouse

    I.

    @wit

    The hell! you mean they’re not 18?? FAAAAAA–

    Lolis combine two things that otaku love: cute things that feel good to glomp and something to pleasure oneself with (Lolis > hand). This combination of double trouble, with Lolis being drawn to be far more attractive in anime and manga that real girls actually are, lead to the transformation of otaku into dirty pedophiles. However! There are still those who, while influenced, have still held strongly onto their love of breasts and curves. Mmmm, delicious onee-sama. Yes, lolis may be cute, but the guilt-free enjoyment of fantasizing about bangin’ a chick whose legal and hot, like Zabuza sword, cannot be beat. Viva la oppai!

    >>*RAISES HAND*
    Bullshit. A/S/L?
    >>In Tyrenol’s world, Boku no Pico is a “feel good” title and the Negima girls are really 18.
    I suspected as much. But then again, nigga plz.

  14. Tyrenol Says:

    Well. If these type of accusations are gonna be levelled against me, then the accusers are all fans of Naruto.

    Honestly; I thought Boku no Pico was a good h-anime title. And saying “Negima girls are really 18,” is a person who’s obviously “stuck inside the box” in terms of the real world.

    My point: I, who’s over the legal age, state that I refuse to go to prison over the sexual involvement of whoever’s under the legal age. I would like to avoid the incredible harm incurred from within prison as well as the red tape I have to suffer through when or if I get out.

    Too much (h-)doujin about old guys scoring with kids can mess up your mind; it will do that to you.

    Had nobody gone to Sankaku Complex page and went through the “Crime” tag?

    tyrenol approves of preteen boys sharing tender moments while he fondles the neck of his very shy turtle

  16. Sarcasm Says:

    I smell that NOYFB is mastering the art of changing his name during comments.

    Oh, because he’s so good at changing his name, he’s so good at hiding the fact that its only one guy attacking on Tyrenol.

  17. Anonymouse Says:

    Well actually, I don’t think there are underaged characters at all in Japanese anime. I watched this anime called “Temptation”, and it said they were all college students in a university.

    It had subtitles so I know. I actually speak Japanese, FYI. “Sensei” is Japanese for “professor”, and “joshikousei” is Japanese for “college student”.

  18. wit Says:

    sarcasm visits tyrenol’s livejournal and flicks his needle around a bit before having to clean up the load after a few seconds

  19. Anonymouse Says:

    Careful where you swing that, sir. You might prick someone.

  20. pxt Says:

    Hay guys I thought we were talking about PS3…?

  21. NOYFB, wit, and whoever else he may be is Chad Warden Says:

    Yes, we ARE talking about the PS Triple.

    The PS TRIPLE.

    We ain’t talking about that wii.

  22. Anonymouse Says:

    Actually, we are talking about P.S. Three-san, who is an underage girl with a hair ornament shaped like a SIXAXIS.

    And P.S. Three-san is sad because no one buys her. :(

  23. Ichigo Says:

    Look At My Black Dick, Chad! Look At It!

  24. Persona Says:

    I got all the jokes. The Dricas one made me cry sad Sega tears. ;_;

    Actually the first one is kinda iffy - is it referring to Yakuza 3 or whichever one the samurai Ryu ga gotoku game is called?

    And what is everyone going on about in these comments?
